Ye Xiruo slowly stirred the sweet and soft longan and red date porridge in the bowl, but suddenly lost her appetite, wondering if it was because one of the people was missing.
"Senior Xiu and Senior Juechen have already returned."
With a forceful movement, Ye Xiruo shattered the jade bowl, sending the porridge flying out, but it was blocked by a green light shield.
"They went back, just like that, without saying a word." Ye Xiruo didn't know how she felt; she felt like a pitiful creature who had been abandoned.
He had confidently told her last night that he would stay with her and they would travel down the mountain together. But when he woke up, he was nowhere to be found.
"What's going on?" Ye Xiruo certainly believed that Xiu Qiyu was not the kind of person who would start something and then abandon it, but there had to be a reason, otherwise, don't blame her for getting angry.
"Master Zhang Hua sent a message, it seems that something big has happened at Tianjian Peak, and he asked Senior Xiu and Senior Jue Chen to return immediately. I don't know the specifics of what happened."
"Okay, I got it. Clean this place up." Ye Xiruo waved her hand and prepared to leave.
"Master Ye, you haven't eaten yet." Qiu Tian looked at Ye Xiruo with some concern.
"I have no appetite, I'm leaving."
I really don't know if this is fate or just a coincidence. Before, Brother Xiu Qi wished he could stay by her side every moment, but unfortunately, she could see him, yet they couldn't communicate and remained silent.
Having finally regained consciousness, Xiao Yezi was summoned back by Master Zhang Hua—what incredible luck! They didn't even get to see each other one last time. Ye Xiruo, seemingly out of nowhere, had a bottle of wine in her hand and started drinking it straight from her lips.
The cherry blossoms outside the house were still in full bloom, dazzling like the colorful clouds on the horizon. Thanks to the Spring Rejuvenation Formation, the cherry blossoms on Lingyun Peak could remain in bloom year-round, forever maintaining this magnificent scene.
Ye Xiruo's favorite thing is the snow-white cherry blossoms. They are as white as snow, with clusters of cherry blossoms layered upon each other, pure and beautiful.
Today, contrary to her usual behavior, she went to the shade of a pink cherry tree, where there were thick cushions and blankets that had been prepared in advance. Ye Xiruo leaned down and began to drink.
Soon, he had finished several bottles of spirit wine, but he wasn't drunk at all. Instead, he felt sleepy, so he lay down on the mat, pulled up a blanket, wrapped himself up tightly, and started to sleep.
Of all the people on Tianjian Peak, aside from those on Siguo Cliff, perhaps only Ye Xiruo was completely unaware of the sudden change in the atmosphere within the main sect.
As a top-tier sect with profound foundations, the Haoqi Pavilion issued orders from its main peak, which then spread to other peaks and to various corners of the Blue Ocean Continent.
The affiliated sects, under orders from the Haoqi Pavilion, sprang into action, collecting various resources and mobilizing manpower.
Every time the war between humans and demons breaks out, countless people die, but for the sake of their homeland, they have no way out.
No one wanted to become a slave or puppet of the demon race, not even the demonic cultivators. Demons were cannibalistic, bloodthirsty, and cruel; everyone except themselves was their prey. In their eyes, demonic cultivators were not their kin, but rather, like humans, their food.
The entire Azure Continent has entered a state of tense preparation for war. In the Western Regions, large swathes of land have been shrouded in dense demonic energy, causing countless mortals to die directly from it and be absorbed by the demonic energy. The entire Western Regions has fallen into chaos, devoid of order, only bloodshed and slaughter.
Many wealthy families were directly overrun by countless commoners, and all their wealth was looted. The streets were stained with dark red blood, which never dried, as countless people died in the ensuing struggles.
Here, there are no constraints; brute force is the only way to survive. The demons are coming soon, and they must leave as quickly as possible.
The leader of the Iron Sand Sect, located near the Western Regions, has joined forces with the Beast Taming Sect and the Heavenly Serpent Valley to head to the Western Regions. If the demons are allowed to continue their rampage, their sect will eventually become the demons' backyard.
Most of those emerging from the seal are now low-level demons, with only a few high-level demons occasionally appearing.
As Xue Junhan thought of the great battle hundreds of years ago, it seemed as if he had even more white hair on his head.
The sect leader has entrusted all matters concerning the Medicine King Pavilion to the Divine Master. A battle against the Demon Clan is inevitable. This is not only a test for cultivators, but also for alchemists.
Those who can truly play a role on the battlefield must be at least high-level alchemists. Demons are adept at concealing their tracks and disguising themselves, and only alchemists with strong mental power or martial artists who have cultivated the Eye of the Fruit can easily distinguish them; otherwise, the human race would have to pay an unimaginable price.
Although low- and mid-level alchemists cannot go to the battlefield, they are not useless. They can stay in the sect and refine pills.
Once this demonic war breaks out, the demand for elixirs will be almost unimaginable. With elixirs in supply, the human race's chances of winning will increase by at least one-third.
Unfortunately, across the entire Blue Ocean Continent, there are still too few advanced alchemists.
For this pioneering operation, he and Elder Feng will lead the team, along with the alchemists of Medicine King Valley, to the Western Regions. The Holy Master will remain in the sect to oversee the operation.
Xue Junhan's biggest worry was still Ye Xiruo.
The young apprentice probably doesn't know about this yet, so let's keep it a secret for now. She absolutely cannot go to the battlefield until her injuries have healed.
This is Xue Junhan's idea.
Yingxun, Zishu, Qingzhiyi, Huarong, and Chiyi were not on the list for this operation.
For their first military expedition, all the major sects dispatched their absolute elites, aiming to deliver a crushing blow to the demon race. These newcomers were still too weak; in other words, they would just be easy prey for the demons. Therefore, they should stay in their sects and focus on their cultivation.
Yingxun, Zishu, and Yexi are all core disciples of the Medicine King Pavilion and its hope. It is not yet time for them to shine.
Xiu Qiyu and the others also received accurate notification: Tianjian Peak, three spots available.
This was the sect leader Tianyi's intention, and Master Zhang Hua had no objection.
The battlefield is ruthless; who knows what might happen? Heavenly Sword Peak holds special significance for the Heavenly Sword Sect. If Heavenly Sword Peak is destroyed, then the destruction of the Heavenly Sword Sect itself will not be far off.
The legacy of the Heavenly Sword must never be broken.
As the senior disciple, Jue Chen had an unshirkable responsibility. Nie Feng, the battle maniac, also didn't want to lose this opportunity. As for the last spot, Fei Yue, Qin Wu, Sang Yu, and Xiu Qi Yu all wanted to keep it.
