After a long while, Mu Yan finally released Lin Han and lowered his head.
He said, feeling embarrassed, "Master, I'm sorry. I have offended you. I hope you will punish me."
Lin Han naturally wouldn't punish Mu Yan. She turned around, gently patted Mu Yan's head, and said with a smile, "It's okay. You have to remember, you're not alone. You still have your master, and I will always be by your side."
Mu Yan looked at Lin Han and silently said in his heart: Master, you must keep your word and stay by my side for the rest of your life.
"Outrageous! The demons are going too far! We should just send people to wipe out the remaining demons!" Elder Yu said angrily, slamming his fist on the table.
"Elder Yu, please don't get so angry. Have some more tea. This matter needs to be discussed further," Elder Chen advised.
Upon hearing this, Elder Yu gave a heavy snort and fell silent.
Only then did Li Tao calmly ask the elders present, "The demon race has not invaded for over a hundred years, yet it has appeared in our sect. What is the reason for this?"
The elders also noticed this suspicious point.
Yes, there are many sects, and Qingxuan Sect is not the only one holding a disciple assembly. Why choose Qingxuan Sect?
This is indeed a suspicious place.
While the elders were discussing their views on the resurgence of the demon race, on the back mountain of Lingquan Peak, Xing Qiu looked at He Can in front of him and said coldly, "Who gave you permission to act on your own?"
"Please forgive me, Demon King. I only wish to launch an attack as soon as possible so that you can dominate all the continents," He Can said loyally.
Xing Qiu unleashed a sword strike, knocking He Can to the ground. He said in an extremely cold tone, "This is the only time. If you do it again, you can kill yourself."
He Can lowered his head and respectfully agreed on the surface. After Xing Qiu left, he looked in the direction Xing Qiu had left with a resentful expression, silently planning a top-secret scheme.
——
"No matter what, we can't just sit here and wait to die. Instead of arguing endlessly, let's discuss how to resist the demons."
Lin Han, seeing the elders arguing endlessly about why the demons had appeared at Qingxuan Sect, spoke up to remind them.
"Ha, you make it sound so easy. Then tell me, what's your good idea?" Elder Gong said bluntly.
Lin Han didn't take Elder Gong seriously at all, and calmly and slowly explained his plan.
"Since the demons no longer intend to coexist peacefully with us, we might as well strike first."
The most important task at present is to train the outstanding disciples well, and ideally, to bring them to a point where they can fight against the demons in a short period of time. Lin Han picked up the tea beside him and slowly took a sip.
At this point, none of the elders responded; they were all contemplating the feasibility of this method.
For once, Elder Gong remained silent. This matter concerned the life and death of all cultivators in the world, and indeed required careful consideration.
"It's possible, but I don't know if those kids can handle it. After all, it's not just ordinary high pressure," Sect Leader Li Tao expressed his concerns.
Lin Han had already prepared for this and explained her thoughts to them.
"It's very simple. If we want to train them, the easiest way is through real combat. We should select the top 100 from this tournament and train them together with other sects..."
Lin Han kept talking, and when he finished, everyone had a look of sudden realization on their faces, and they all agreed with Lin Han's plan.
By the time the meeting ended, it was already dark. When they returned to Xuehan Peak, they found that Mu Yan was still awake, sitting outside gazing at the starry sky.
"It's so late, why aren't you resting yet?" Lin Han asked, looking at Mu Yan who was gazing at the starry sky.
Upon hearing Lin Han's voice, Mu Yan turned around, a hint of joy in his eyes, and quickly replied, "Seeing that Master hadn't returned for a long time, I thought I'd wait a bit."
Looking at Mu Yan, who was covered in snow, Lin Han suddenly felt that he looked just like Santa Claus and burst out laughing.
Although Mu Yan didn't know what Lin Han was laughing about, seeing her laugh made him laugh too, his heart and eyes filled with Lin Han's smile.
As time went by, Lin Han continued to implement her plan step by step.
Each sect's members will be led by their elders to the front lines for practical combat training.
"Report! General, the elders and disciples of Qingxuan Sect have arrived outside the military camp." The guard arrived in front of a tent and loudly reported to the people inside.
Upon hearing the report, the people inside looked up from the piles of documents and probed the outside of the military camp with their divine senses. Sure enough, they saw a group of people waiting outside.
"Let them in," the woman said to the guards outside the door, withdrawing her divine sense.
"Ruhua, it's been a long time." Lin Han greeted the female general with a smile.
The female general, who usually had a cold expression, actually smiled.
This terrified the soldiers; the last time they saw her smile, the grass on the grave of the person who had been there was already two zhang tall (approximately 6.6 meters) high.
Sure enough, Xia Ruhua had just finished laughing when she quickly changed her expression; the whole process took no more than three seconds.
Xia Ruhua drew her sword and slashed at Lin Han.
Upon seeing this, Mu Yan instinctively stepped in front of Lin Han, but Lin Han quickly pulled him away. Mu Yan then swiftly conjured a sword to fight Xia Ruhua.
"Clang! Clang clang clang!"
The swords clashed and made a piercing sound. Lin Han and Xia Ruhua's fight evolved from a simple battle on the ground to a duel in the air, where they used magic to fight each other.
"You still know how to come back! You left so decisively back then, why did you come back!" Xia Ruhua was in a bad mood and said to Lin Han with a lot of resentment.
Lin Han had no choice; in her memory, Xia Ruhua was the original owner's best friend.
The two fought side by side on the front lines, but one day Lin Han suddenly left without saying goodbye and became a leisurely elder at Qingxuan Sect, leaving Xia Ruhua alone on the front lines.
Now it's Lin Han, with a different soul, who naturally has to clean up the mess left by the original owner.
Therefore, the current task is to appease Xia Ruhua. Lin Han also noticed that although Xia Ruhua hit him, she held back her strength, and the spirit orbs that hit Lin Han each time only caused him no pain or itching.
That's why Lin Han didn't fight back, letting her hit him, only occasionally blocking her attacks.
Only after Xia Ruhua had vented all her resentment did she stop attacking Lin Han. She looked at Lin Han, panting heavily, and finally all her words turned into one sentence: "It's good that you're back."
"Quick! Confess! Why did you leave without saying goodbye back then! Do you know that I thought you abandoned me at the time!" Xia Ruhua pressed Lin Han's shoulders, pushed her onto the bed, and interrogated her.
Lin Han looked at Xia Ruhua and explained his physical condition, which finally earned Xia Ruhua's forgiveness.
Seeing the once tall and mighty General Xia now nestled against Lin Han's shoulder like a little bird, the scene was both strange and somewhat harmonious.
