Hearing Yun Che's explanation, the immortal cultivators felt somewhat relieved, but they still couldn't help but worry about the current situation. The fragility of the seal made each of them feel unprecedented pressure, and the restless nature of the Demon Realm only made the situation worse.
"Immortal Lord Yun Che, what should we do now? Continue to reinforce the seal and wait for the arrival of the Xuanwu Divine Beast and reinforcements?" an elder asked.
"That's right. We must stay at our posts and not let the Demon Realm's conspiracy succeed. At the same time, I will continue to maintain contact with the Domain Lord and report the situation here at any time so that the Domain Lord can make the most timely response. Rest assured, as long as we are united, we will definitely be able to protect the peace of the Immortal Realm," Yun Che said firmly.
"Very well! We will do our utmost!" The immortal cultivators responded in unison, their voices filled with determination and resolve. They knew that although the situation was critical, as long as they worked together, they would surely be able to protect the peace of the Immortal Realm.
So they continued their work to reinforce the seal. Although exhausted, everyone was filled with unwavering faith. They used their magic, magical artifacts, and even their own bodies to resist the demonic energy that kept assaulting the seal, preventing it from weakening in the slightest.
Time seemed to slow down dramatically at that moment, each second filled with tension and anxiety. But the immortal cultivators did not give up; they remained at their posts, awaiting the arrival of the Xuanwu divine beast and reinforcements.
After an unknown amount of time, Chu Wanwan finally arrived with over a hundred Transcending Tribulation Realm cultivators. Their arrival seemed to inject new vitality into the exhausted cultivators.
Chu Wanwan quickly organized the newly arrived Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivators to join the effort to reinforce the seal. With the addition of fresh forces, the previously precarious seal gradually stabilized.
Seeing the high-level immortal cultivators here, the demons realized their pace of destruction couldn't keep up with their pace of reinforcement. The day's attacks had also exhausted them, so at dusk, the Great Demon led his demon horde to retreat.
Chu Wanwan withdrew the spiritual power that reinforced the seal and instructed, "From now on, cultivators below the Tribulation Transcending Realm will guard the sealed area in pairs, while the rest of the cultivators will rest in their camps. We will hold out until tomorrow morning, when the Xuanwu Beast will be able to come and repair the seal here."
Night fell, and starlight twinkled, illuminating the tense, sealed land. Although the demons had retreated, the immortal cultivators remained vigilant, knowing that this was only a temporary respite.
Chu Wanwan's orders were carried out by everyone. Those cultivators below the Tribulation Transcending Realm paired up and took turns patrolling around the seal to ensure an immediate alarm could be raised in case of any anomalies. The remaining cultivators, however, took the opportunity to rest and recover their spiritual energy within the camp, preparing for the upcoming battle.
Yun Che walked to Chu Wanwan's side, looking in the direction the demons had retreated into, his brows furrowed: "Master, do you think the demons will give up so easily?"
Chu Wanwan shook her head: "Of course not. Xuanwu has already repaired one of the seals today. I believe the Demon Clan has already noticed and guessed that Xuanwu is cooperating with the Immortal Clan to completely repair the Demon Realm seal."
If I were them, I would focus all my efforts on attacking the weak points of the seal in the coming days, and I would also send high-level demons to break through the weak points of the seal and rescue the demon general from the Chaos Abyss. Whichever path succeeds, the Immortal Realm will face annihilation.
Therefore, I must resolve the problems here before leaving the Immortal Realm.
"Master, thank goodness the Immortal Realm has you, otherwise no one could have predicted the crisis facing the Demon Race! It might not be long before the Immortal Realm faces annihilation..."
Yun Che said solemnly.
"This wasn't something I anticipated. It was Si Mingye who sensed the changes within the Demon Realm, secretly infiltrated it, and obtained the information! Yun Che, if it weren't for Si Mingye, the Demon Realm's seal would probably already be broken! Do you still think Si Mingye is a demon, born to be killed?" Chu Wanwan looked into Yun Che's eyes and asked firmly.
"Master, he is good now, but one day in the future, we will still be on the opposite side. Master, to be honest, after these ten years together, I think I understand your choice back then. Not only you, but even I, the more I understand him, the more pitiful I feel. He is clearly kind by nature, yet he is destined to be a demon god, intolerable to the righteous path of the world!"
But even if we feel indignant on his behalf, one day we will inevitably reach a point where it's either you or me who dies... Master, remember, don't invest too much emotion in him like you did in your past life.
That would cause you a lot of pain…
Yun Che solemnly reminded him.
As Chu Wanwan listened to Yun Che's words, a feeling of irritation welled up in her heart.
"Yun Che, has anyone ever told you that you're annoying when you talk?"
"Master, I don't want to say anything irrelevant that might give rise to too many fantasies in your mind..." Yun Che continued earnestly.
"Alright, let's not talk about this anymore! Go and rest! Who knows when a tough battle might come..." Chu Wanwan waved her hand, signaling Yun Che to leave...
Yun Che glanced at Chu Wanwan, sighed softly, shook his head, and left...
Chu Wanwan stood alone in the night, gazing into the distance. Yun Che's words echoed in her mind, making her feel uneasy...
"Will I really kill Si Mingye with my own hands someday in the future? Is there no other way?" Chu Wanwan clenched her hands tightly, her heart filled with struggle and confusion.
A gentle night breeze blew, scattering Chu Wanwan's hair, but it couldn't dispel the turmoil in her heart. She knew that although Yun Che's words were blunt and harsh, they were also true.
Just as Chu Wanwan was feeling troubled, a scream suddenly broke the tranquility of the night.
Chu Wanwan was startled. It was the weak point of the seal in the Demon Realm. Without thinking, Chu Wanwan immediately flew towards the source of the sound.
At the same time, the immortal cultivators in the camp quickly assembled and rushed towards the sealed land.
When Chu Wanwan arrived at the sealed place, she saw two elders of the Nine Heavens Immortal Sect lying on the ground, covered in blood and surrounded by demonic energy, and they were already lifeless.
At the seal's location, a powerful demonic aura still lingered, clearly indicating that a powerful demon had broken free of the seal...
Chu Wanwan immediately took out a sound transmission stone.
"Si Mingye, a powerful demon has escaped from its seal. You must be careful..."
