Last time in Cloud City, they were given advance notice and escaped, but this time, with Pang Jiaxiang's cooperation, they are more confident in eradicating the [Newborn].
This time, the Lianfeng Sword Sect has contacted the other four sects, and each sect has invited one of their reclusive patriarchs to come out of seclusion.
With such thorough preparations, they are ready to fight to the death against the [newcomers].
Those elders who usually remain in seclusion except for matters of life and death for their sects are now being summoned out, because if the [Rebirth] does not perish, the destruction may not be limited to a single sect, but could affect the entire Qian Yuan Western Region!
At such a solemn moment, the patriarchs of each family naturally could not refuse.
Although it has been discovered that Xin Shi, the leader of the [New Life], who is also Lu Wenxing's grandfather, has a cultivation level of Integration, they must make thorough preparations this time to avoid a repeat of the previous incident in Cloud City!
At this time, in the outer realm, on the floating island that Yan Lingyi had once visited, a new cultivator arrived—Fan Mingzhu.
She had already reached the Void Refining Realm, so the Compassionate Breath Fruit was no longer of much use to her, and she hadn't come here for rapid advancement at all.
At this moment, Fan Mingzhu looked around and realized that in this vast world, there was nowhere for her to find refuge.
Now her father is probably in grave danger, and the Tianjun who used to give her advice has also disappeared. The entire western border of Qian Yuan is plastered with wanted posters for her.
Having lived such a secretive life for so long, she had forgotten her glorious days in the Divine Cauldron Sect.
Moreover, the current Divine Cauldron Sect has a new sect leader who has severed ties with the father and daughter, expelling them from the sect.
These heartless hypocrites can only share wealth and honor, not hardship. They don't care when they're enjoying the resources of their Divine Cauldron Sect, but now that they're in trouble, they immediately try to distance themselves from the situation.
But she never imagined that her father and daughter's descent into demonic possession would nearly bring annihilation to the Divine Cauldron Sect.
The Divine Cauldron Sect has been more than generous to them, taking so many years to finally change its sect leader.
Upon arriving in the new territory, Fan Mingzhu had already made up her mind to join the "Newcomer" organization without any effort on her part.
The reason I know about this place is because back in the Demon Abyss, I was the formation master who helped the Tu family set up an array that wiped out the entire Liu family.
That was a formation cultivator who was a "newcomer".
Not long after helping the Tu family, Na Zhenxiu left, but before leaving, he stayed in the Demon Abyss for a while.
He wanted to win over the Demon Abyss faction, but at the time, everyone in the Demon Abyss was obsessed with acquiring power, and no one was willing to leave.
The man explained their "new life" philosophy and the great deeds they were going to do before leaving.
Now that the Demon Abyss has disappeared, Fan Mingzhu has nowhere to go, so she naturally thought of that cultivation method.
When they arrived at the distinctive floating island, there was no one in sight.
Fan Mingzhu shouted loudly: "Bu Yazhong"
Fellow Daoist, please come forward and explain!
Bu Yazhong is the name of that cultivator.
After her magical voice rang out, people soon appeared on the island that had previously seemed uninhabited.
"Fellow Daoist Fan Mingzhu," Bu Yazhong said, bowing slightly to Fan Mingzhu as he emerged, "May I ask what brings you here alone?"
In Bu Yazhong's mind, if any of them wanted to join the "New Students," it wouldn't be just one person coming.
These words ignited Fan Mingzhu's anger, and she retorted bitterly, "The Demon Abyss has been destroyed, and I will never share the same sky with Shi Xuan!"
Before she even got to the main topic, her first words were about Shi Xuan, which shows how strong her hatred for Shi Xuan was.
She already hated Shi Xuan to an extreme degree, and now that Shi Xuan had become her father's killer and destroyed her Demon Abyss, Fan Mingzhu felt so much hatred that she almost ground her teeth to powder whenever she thought of Shi Xuan.
Bu Yazhong was taken aback: "Already destroyed? Did Shi Xuan do this? Then, what is Fellow Daoist Fan's intention?"
"I want to join the [New Students] and fight against Shi Xuan with you! I will tear her to pieces!"
Bu Yazhong could deeply feel the intensity of her hatred for Shi Xuan through her expressions and tone.
"Shi Xuan is definitely our enemy; she has destroyed many of our strongholds. But we, the [New Life], are an organization with a greater cause, and what we need to do is not limited to the gains or losses of one person or one city. We don't need to take special action against Shi Xuan; when our great cause is accomplished, that will be the day of her demise."
"Heh," Fan Mingzhu snorted coldly, "What kind of organization talks about righteousness? They make it sound so nice, but they still try to recruit even demonic cultivators like us!"
An organization that associates with demonic cultivators is certainly not concerned with the greater good.
Meeting Fan Mingzhu's slightly sarcastic gaze, Bu Yazhong remained unperturbed. He said solemnly, "So what if they are demonic cultivators! How can we be like those hypocrites who spout benevolence and morality? Demonic cultivators are also cultivators in this world, and they can accomplish earth-shattering feats. A hero's origins are irrelevant; why should Fellow Daoist Fan tarnish your own reputation!"
These words sounded righteous and awe-inspiring. Whether the reasoning behind them was sound or not was not important; the key was that they resonated with Fan Mingzhu.
Fan Mingzhu's expression improved considerably. She looked into Bu Yazhong's eyes, pursed her lips, and said, "Then I will help you achieve your great cause! However, when the great cause is accomplished, Shi Xuan will be under my control! If she dies like an ordinary person, it will not be enough to quell my hatred!"
"Of course!" Bu Yazhong didn't care whether he could actually do it or not, and readily agreed.
Fan Mingzhu was extremely satisfied with his attitude, and Bu Yazhong was also extremely satisfied with recruiting a cultivator in the Void Refinement stage.
The two hit it off immediately, and Fan Mingzhu found a new place to go.
General Bu Ya led Fan Mingzhu to their stronghold, explaining as they walked: "We, the [New Life], have been establishing our presence in the Qian Yuan Realm for over three hundred years. We have our presence in many places here, and what they can discover is insignificant."
Fan Mingzhu: "Then, what do you need me to do?"
"Stop with the 'you all'," Bu Yazhong laughed. "Now it should be 'us.' Here, high-level cultivators play a very important role. After you swear your oath to join, I will take you to see our lord!"
Joining any gang requires a pledge of allegiance, especially if you want to get into the inner circle; this kind of inner demon is indispensable.
After a series of elaborate ceremonies, Fan Mingzhu officially became a member of the "New Life" and was taken to the stronghold outside the Luoyin Sect in the western border of Qianyuan to formally meet Xin Shi.
Fan Mingzhu made no attempt to hide her resentment—resentment towards Shi Xuan, resentment towards the righteous sects, and even resentment towards the sect she had previously belonged to.
In her mind, everyone owed her something and was sorry to her.
