Fang Xianren hovered in mid-air, his sword Tian Canfeng floating around him with a lustrous green spiritual energy.
But at this moment, one could not detect any gentleness in the wood elemental energy; instead, it was filled with the anger of an impending war.
However, while Fang Xian spoke quickly, someone else acted even faster.
A dark figure darted away from the group like a large black rat, bringing with it an unpleasant heat wave.
"Holy crap! What just whizzed by?"
"Fire attribute...it's not spiritual energy, is it?"
"Isn't that Sheng Xi?!"
All eyes were immediately drawn to it.
The demonic cultivators and demon race over there had already charged forward under the command of their respective leaders, and countless forces crashed into the hurricane surrounding Qu Jin.
On the other side of the desolate cultivation world, the figure standing there all alone could only be Sheng Xi.
In the crowd, some people unconsciously lowered their heads.
Countless people have expressed their opinions on that rumor targeting Chaoming Palace and Shengxi.
There have been quite a few people who have made negative comments about them.
However, now, at a time when everyone is retreating, it is Sheng Xi, who was once despised by everyone, who was regarded as a heretic demonic cultivator, and the demon race who have always been treated as beasts, who are standing at the forefront.
The cultivation world has undoubtedly lost a great deal in this dispute.
"Aaaaaah, I don't care anymore!"
"Charge back! Damn it, even if we sacrifice ourselves, we can still have a separate page in the family tree!"
"If you win, celebrate with drinks and meat; if you die, go back and bring glory to your ancestors!"
"Don't push me! I want to be the first one!"
To be honest, even Li Jinchu didn't expect that these people could change their minds so quickly.
A few hot-blooded individuals shouted out first, and the remaining wavering people were also swayed. Even those who were indignant in their hearts would not come out to contradict the masses.
And that's how it was done.
As a result, he was pushed around by the crowd while standing in front of everyone, and when he came to his senses, he found that several of his jewelry pieces had been knocked off.
If it didn't fall on the ground, there's a high probability that someone picked it up, or even more likely that someone deliberately sent it to him and he just took it.
...It's not like any good person would think of becoming a third hand when their life or death is at stake!
"Oh dear... I'm so sorry, Young Master Li! I can't go right now, but I'll return it to you later!"
"Ouch, it hurts so much... If I can't get back, remember to come and touch my corpse!"
"I really didn't mean to!"
Li Jinchu was pulled back to her senses by a voice. Turning her head, she saw a hand struggling up and down in the crowd, unable to break free from its grip.
He recognized the clothes; they belonged to a small sect that was quite well-known in the mortal realm.
Although the disciples under their tutelage are from all walks of life and are not good people in a universal sense, ordinary people admire them greatly. The reason is simple: they often rob the rich to help the poor.
Li Jinchu had dealt with them quite a bit before, after all, the rules of the cultivation world were that one should not interfere too much with mortal affairs.
But these people always have a very good attitude and never repent.
These pickpockets, in particular, have made stealing a habit. Every time he goes in and comes out, there are always some things on his body that have been moved without his knowledge.
I never expected that even now, with the situation having turned out this way, they still can't change their bad habits.
"Everyone else has rushed up, and you're still here wallowing in self-pity?" Ji Mofan had just been at the very back of everyone, his energy focused on stopping people from running out of the battle.
Who knew that this group of people would change their minds so quickly? In an instant, they were all provoked by Sheng Xi and turned back.
He caught two guys who were planning to take advantage of the chaos and desert, but they were slightly delayed, so he caught up from behind a bit late.
When they arrived, they found Li Jinchu standing there, staring blankly at her sleeve, which was missing a South Sea pearl decoration.
"Are you missing a South Sea pearl?" Ji Mofan was at a loss for words.
Having been scolded, Li Jinchu finally came to her senses. "How's it outside now?"
“Nanxun just sent me a message that the civilians have been arranged to evacuate another hundred miles away from the war zone,” Ji Mofan said. “We can start the war now without worrying about harming innocent people for the time being.”
Most of the people that Ji Mo Fan knew had now joined the front lines, but Nan Xun was still in the rear.
His younger brother, who became emperor, seemed to have fled with his family at the very beginning of the war. Now, amidst the chaos of war, he had no time to look for those fools who had long since disappeared into the crowd, so he had no choice but to take charge of the country's affairs as the former crown prince.
Not only Crane Kingdom, but also several surrounding small countries were all arranged perfectly by him.
When the other emperors saw that Crane-Wang Kingdom actually had a powerful cultivator in charge, they all flocked to it for protection. Nanxun was now completely unable to leave and had no choice but to stay in the rear to stabilize the situation.
However, he did send Peng Ruo to the front lines, where the old man has been treating many wounded patients.
"Then what are we waiting for?" Li Jinchu gripped his sword tightly, golden spiritual energy densely adhering to it, and the weapon emitted a joyful hum.
Qu Jin never expected to encounter such great resistance.
Those people were clearly intimidated by him at first, but somehow those brats said something to them and they all turned their anger towards him.
Although he could use secret techniques to continuously absorb the power of the moment of death of his opponents, he couldn't withstand the fact that as many people died, even more surged up!
