Xiao Yu put a stack of talismans into the space ring, stood up and stretched, then saw Zhou Yanzhi walk in.
"Brother, are you still going on patrol tonight?"
"Yeah. Let's have a quick meal. We'll go back later and take the four little ones with us for a night hunt."
"Then let's have some rice with toppings!" Xiao Yu said as he walked towards the door. He quickly set up a table on the terrace outside the mountain gate manager's training room. At the same time, his spiritual sense also "saw" the endless stream of hurried figures in and out of the mountain gate.
Some were clambering onto flying swords and flying towards the sect; some were already unconscious and were being carried on the backs of their companions, while others were missing limbs. Compared to those encountered these days, who were directly hunted down on the spot by various means, these were considered good.
"There have been a lot of casualties recently!"
"Yeah." Zhou Yanzhi sat down. "In just one month, about four to five thousand people died from attacks by poisonous insects like the Ghost Fire Spider. More than ten thousand people died from fire demons and other causes."
"so much?"
"This is because the sect has distributed high-level defensive magic tools. According to the sect's investigation, those who are trying to trip up the Suzaku Divine Sect this time are not only the Refining Ghost Sect and the Flame Demon Sect, but also the Lihuo Immortal Sect, Burning Heaven Valley, and the Phoenix Palace."
Xiao Yu brought out two large portions of fried pork cutlets, a braised egg, a rice bowl with various vegetables, and kelp and shrimp soup before saying, "Are they planning to destroy the Suzaku Divine Sect?"
"That's not the case. The Ascension Secret Realm will be opened soon. If the Suzaku Divine Sect disappears at this time, then their respective sects will have many more places. The Ascension Secret Realm only allows those in the Lingyuan Realm and Danyuan Realm to enter. There is no age requirement."
Xiao Yu thought of what Zhou Yanzhi had said before and couldn't help but say, "This is to wipe out the barbaric world in one fell swoop."
"I'm afraid this is also the reason why there are so few people in the Lingyuan Realm and Danyuan Realm throughout the entire wilderness."
"If that's the case, at this time, what are the other sects doing so crazy?"
"It is said that it was a disciple of the Suzaku Divine Sect in the Samsara Secret Realm who killed disciples of the Ghost Refining Sect, the Flame Demon Sect, and other sects."
"How did they know? Is there a live broadcast window like in the Ascension Secret Realm?"
"It was calculated by the Tianji Pavilion."
"Isn't this too good to be true? Don't the disciples of other sects kill each other?"

Zhou Yanzhi took a sip of soup without saying anything. Xiao Yu was about to speak again when two figures suddenly appeared on the terrace.
"You two, you're in such a good mood!" Feng Heng waved his hand, and two more chairs were placed next to Zhou Yanzhi and Xiao Yu's table. "Guests are welcome, so you two wouldn't be reluctant to part with two spiritual meals, would you?"
Zhou Yanzhi smiled and said, "My spiritual food is not that delicious."
"Young Master Zhou, or should I call you Zhou Nineteen? One of the legendary nine young masters of the Wanxiang Pavilion?"
Zhou Yanzhi looked at the other person, not surprised that his identity was known: "Elder Feng, you are planning something big?"
Feng Heng rolled his eyes: "You don't think that the current chaos is caused by me? How is that possible? Although I want to get something to protect myself, I never thought of becoming a rat crossing the street."
Yan Xun looked at Zhou Yanzhi, then at Xiao Yu, who appeared harmless and naive, and asked, "Have you two hidden your cultivation?"
Feng Heng curled his lips and said, "Of course. Wang Chushan mentioned before that this person has already reached the Great Perfection of the Spiritual Origin Realm. After five years in the Inner Sea, he must have already reached the Danyuan Realm."
Zhou Yanzhi didn't comment, waved his hand, took out two rice bowls, and started eating.
Feng Heng took a look and quickly pulled Yan Xun to sit down: "Hurry up, my niece was able to advance from the first level of weapon refining to the fifth level of Qi refining within a year because of this."
Yan Xun had also heard some rumors about the four children of the Zhou family, but after sitting down, he didn't say anything. The four of them quietly finished a hearty lunch.
"I've heard that the five demon sects, including the Refining Ghost Sect and the Flame Demon Sect, will launch a simultaneous attack on several other sects in a few days." Feng Heng quickly finished his meal, not content with that. He asked if he could eat a small watermelon from a nearby shady vine. He plucked one and dug into it. He'd snatched this stuff from the mountain gate disciples several times before, so he knew how to eat it.
Yan Xun was too reserved to try it herself, but Feng Heng still forced one into his mouth. The watermelon, as big as a human head, was opened to reveal a thin skin, thick flesh, and very few seeds. Even without smelling it, just looking at it was sweet and thirst-quenching.

"Don't underestimate these demonic sects. Their depth is beyond your imagination. They do this every millennium to escape the immortal realm," Feng Heng said, his mouth full of satisfaction. "But to provoke the four great sects, they will absolutely spare no effort."
"What do you two want?" Zhou Yanzhi asked directly.
Feng Heng: "My fellow Daoist and I are seeking a way to protect ourselves. You may have heard that the Ascension Secret Realm is a massacre of high-level cultivators from the Savage World by the upper realm. Once it is opened, 90% of all Danyuan Realm deacons, stewards, guardian elders, and disciples under the age of 500 will enter the secret realm."
"Can't someone else be used as a replacement?"
"Yes, but you probably won't find anyone else."
"What do you mean?" Zhou Yanzhi frowned. He thought to himself, could this be more dangerous than he imagined?
Feng Heng looked at him and smiled: "You are still too young after all. Do you know how many places the four major sects in the Southern Wilderness will have?"
"..." Zhou Yan realized belatedly that 'he' didn't know.
"Thirty thousand places for each sect."
"Thirty thousand!" Xiao Yu exclaimed, "So much?"
"Yes, even a powerful sect like the Suzaku Divine Sect doesn't have so many quotas! So, how do you think these quotas will be allocated? Even Nanming City, how many quotas can it contribute?"
