"Has the demon race invaded Quanxiu?"
In Xu Xinrou's room, Su Nian enjoyed Xu Xinrou's head massage while eating the fruit that Xu Xinrou had carefully cut for her.
"What was the elders' reaction?" he asked.
While gently massaging his temples, Xu Xinrou said, "The entire sect is on edge right now. According to the Grand Elder, the demon that invaded that day was a mid-stage Void Refinement cultivator, which was very difficult to deal with. But even so, it was just an avatar. If the demon that infiltrated today is the real body of that avatar, then it will be very dangerous."
"Is that so... Have you summoned the Immortal Ancestor's staff?"
The Immortal Ancestor Staff is one of the secret treasures inherited by the Quanxiu Sect, a weapon specifically designed to deal with demons.
Xu Xinrou nodded. "The Second Elder has already brought out the Immortal Ancestor's Staff and is now searching each of the Immortal Peaks one by one."
"It's no use, we probably won't find anything anyway," Su Nian said, continuing to eat her sliced fruit.
"Why?" Xu Xinrou asked curiously.
"That demon's clone alone is enough to overpower the Grand Elder. If his true form were to come, I'm afraid no one in the sect would be able to withstand him."
Xu Xinrou asked with a worried expression, "What should we do then?"
"There's no need to worry. The current balance of power between humans and demons is because both sides know that neither has a guaranteed victory once war breaks out, which would only bring devastation to the entire continent. The reason that demon is acting so cautiously is probably because he is afraid that a human expert will intervene and capture him. His status must be noble, and if he were to perish here, the demons would not only have no reason to avenge him, but it would also greatly weaken the entire demon race. Therefore, he is extremely cautious and has probably already left Quanxiu by now, right?"
Xu Xinrou suddenly realized and smiled, saying, "Junior Brother is so clever."
Su Nian said helplessly, "Second Senior Sister, please stop praising me. You can definitely understand this kind of thing, and the Second Elder can understand it too, but one thing is one thing, and she will definitely still have to do the task of searching and sweeping the sect."
Xu Xinrou pondered and said, "However, there is still one thing I don't understand. Since that demon is so powerful and knows that he cannot be discovered, why was he seen by Ye Hua?"
“It’s obvious,” Su Nian said, taking a bite of her apple. “Ye Hua is lying.”
Xu Xinrou hesitated before asking, "But... why would he lie?"
Su Nian understood that since the two had already made contact, it meant that they must be plotting something in secret.
His eyes darted around, and he asked Xu Xinrou, "Senior Sister Xinrou, do you raise pigeons?"
Xu Xinrou nodded slightly, "I have special celestial pigeons here that are extremely fast, able to fly a thousand miles in a day. Would you like to use them, Junior Brother?"
"Hmm, can I borrow one? I need to deliver a letter."
"Where to send it?"
"Seven Star Sect!"
...
"What did you say? Su Nian volunteered to join the Holy Glory Sect's birthday celebration team?"
Inside the council hall of Quanxiu, the Fourth Elder could not hide the joy on his face after listening to Su Liuli's report.
Su Liuli was overjoyed. She had thought that Su Nian would not be interested in the birthday martial arts performance, but he took the initiative to approach her and begged her to let him join the entourage.
"Yes! I heard that the first place winner of this Foundation Establishment event is a five-stage Golden Core! If Nian'er can get this core, she will surely regain her confidence and embark on the path of cultivation again, right?" Su Liuli was overjoyed.
Seeing Su Nian regain her fighting spirit made her happier than anyone else.
Fourth Elder Mo Rouyun hesitated for a moment, then pondered and said, "But... isn't that male disciple named Ye Hua also waiting for this fifth-stage Golden Core pill?"
Upon hearing this, Su Liuli's joy faded somewhat, replaced by a hint of worry.
"Sigh..." She sighed softly and shook her head, saying, "Nian'er's golden core has already been shattered once. Although he has extraordinary talent, no one has ever tried to reforge his golden core. Perhaps it's out of guilt. I hope this fifth-stage golden core can be given to Nian'er."
“Since it’s a competition, then the most capable should win. With Nian’er’s strength, let alone the Foundation Establishment group, even the Golden Core group shouldn’t be able to defeat him.” Mo Rouyun patted Su Liuli’s shoulder and comforted her with a smile, “Relax, relax. As long as Su Nian wants it, this Golden Core will definitely be his. Don’t you know how terrifying his combat power is?”
“But…” Su Liuli hesitated, then smiled bitterly, “Nian’er is only accompanying us this time and will not participate in the battle.”
"What did you say?" Mo Rouyun raised an eyebrow.
Su Liuli said helplessly, "It's already quite good that he's willing to go with Xinrou this time. Since he doesn't want to participate in the martial arts competition, how can I force him?"
Mo Rouyun shook her head helplessly.
Then she asked, "By the way, who led the team on this trip to the Holy Glory Sect?"
"It's the eldest senior sister and the sixth senior sister."
