Purple Cloud's Visit

What is the current situation on Limitless Island?

After An Tong left, Song Wen An Yin.

"Everything on Limitless Island is as usual. However, news from the Northern Region indicates that the Demon Race is becoming increasingly rampant. After the fall of the Jing Family patriarch, Jing Wuming, the Jing Family has no Nascent Soul Late Stage cultivator to defend them. Faced with the menacing Demon Race, they can only retreat continuously, and many islands rich in Spiritual Qi have been occupied by the Demon Race."

"If it weren't for the clan-protecting formation, the Jing Family's stronghold— Azure Sea Island —would probably have fallen into the hands of the Demon Race. The Jing Family has repeatedly urged the Two Forms Sect to fulfill its responsibilities as the leader of the Starsea Alliance, to gather all the major Human Race forces, form a large army of cultivators, and march into the Northern Region to assist the Jing Family in jointly attacking the Demon Race."

"The Two Forms Sect has been quite proactive in resisting the Demon Race, but the Cui Family and the Limitless Sect have been hesitant and reluctant. The Cui Family and the Limitless Sect are worried that if they send a large number of cultivators to the Northern Region, leaving their own territory vulnerable, the Demon Race will take the opportunity to launch a sneak attack, and their own territory will be damaged as a result."

After listening to An Yin's story, a trace of worry appeared on Song Wen's originally leisurely face.

He sighed softly, "These are turbulent times."

An Yin said, "Yes. The fact that the Human Race Alliance Army is unable to launch its campaign will only embolden the Demon Race. With two peerless demons, Wind Eagle and Yuan Hao, the Jing Family will eventually be unable to withstand it. Once the entire Northern Region falls, a large amount of Cultivation Resources will fall into the hands of the Demon Race, which will only become stronger. If this continues, it may not be long before Human Race to stand in this Sea of Disorder."

Song Wen looked up and glanced at An Yin.

The other party had clearly misunderstood him.

His worry was that once the human and demon races went to war, he probably wouldn't be able to cultivate in peace as he did now.

They will very likely be forced by the Limitless Sect to go to the Northern Region to participate in the war.

In the twenty-odd years since Song Wen joined the Limitless Sect, he has killed ten inner Limitless Sect Golden Core elders and one outer sect Golden Core elder.

The Limitless Sect couldn't send many inner sect Golden Core elders to participate in the battle; they could only send their outer sect Golden Core elders to the battlefield.

If Song Wen is unwilling to participate in the war, he will have no choice but to leave the Limitless Sect.

However, the war between the human and demon races in the Sea of Disorder is completely different from the war between good and evil on the Heavenly Origin Continent.

This is a battle for survival; there is no room for compromise.

Once the war begins in full swing, all kinds of Cultivation Resources will be strictly controlled, and the needs of the front-line battlefield will be met first.

If Song Wen leaves the Limitless Sect, he may find himself in a situation where he has Spirit Stone but cannot buy Cultivation Resources once war breaks out.

There's another reason why he doesn't want to leave the Limitless Sect now.

Song Wen was to wait for Zhu Yin on Extreme Yin Island.

Since Zhu Yin's whereabouts were uncertain, Song Wen could not find her and could only wait for her to come to him.

If Song Wen were to hide his identity, he could escape the conflict between the human and demon races, but Zhu Yin would still be unable to find Song Wen.

Therefore, the identity of 'Extreme Yin' cannot be given up casually.

Song Wen's expression suddenly changed, and he turned to look at the south side of the island.

"I never expected to have such a rare guest today," Song Wen muttered to himself.

As soon as he finished speaking, Purple Cloud's figure appeared in the sky above the southern part of the island.

Purple Cloud spotted Song Wen on the island's summit from afar.

Her voice rang in Song Wen's ears before she even entered the island.

"I hope my intrusion has disturbed your peaceful cultivation?"

Song Wen stepped out of the pavilion, looked at the figure getting closer and closer in the air, and replied with a smile.

"How delightful it is to have friends coming from afar! Fellow Daoist Purple Cloud's presence on our humble island is truly an honor."

Purple Cloud landed outside the pavilion, looked around, and said.

"Your island, fellow Daoist, boasts an elegant environment and abundant Spiritual Qi, truly a paradise on earth."

"Fellow Daoist, you flatter me." Song Wen pointed to the stone bench in the pavilion and continued, "Fellow Daoist Purple Cloud, please have a seat."

The two took their seats, and Song Wen poured Purple Cloud a cup of Spirit Tea before asking her questions.

"Fellow Daoist, why did you travel across the ocean to come to this Western Region?"

Purple Cloud said, "I came with my master to pay my respects to Senior Yinshuo and Senior Ye Hua to discuss the expedition to the Northern Region to punish the Demon Race."

Upon hearing this, Song Wen became very interested.

"Would it be convenient to disclose the results of the discussions?"

"There's nothing I can't reveal," Purple Cloud sighed softly.

"Master originally had great confidence in this trip. However, we Limitless Sect learned upon arriving at the Wuji Sect that a large number of sea Demon Beast roam the area where the Outer Sea of the Western Region meet, including fourth-tier Merfolk. The Merfolk have even captured two fourth-tier sea beasts with low intelligence. The situation in the Western Region is not optimistic."

"The two Nascent Soul cultivators, Yinshuo and Ye Hua, are worried that the sea monsters might launch a surprise attack on Limitless Island and the nearby islands. Therefore, they dare not send a large number of troops to the North Sea."

"Furthermore, Senior Ye Hua suspected me of killing Yuan Qing and harbored deep hostility towards me. If it weren't for Master's presence, I would probably have already lost my life. In the end, with Master's guarantee, I swore on my soul that Yuan Qing's death had nothing to do with me, and only then did Senior Ye Hua let it go."

A hint of surprise flashed in Song Wen's eyes.

The news Purple Cloud brought was something An Yin had never heard before.

Song Wen had never heard of a large number of Demon Race appearing in the border areas of the Western Region.

As for Yuan Qing's death, it was Zhu Yin who deliberately framed Purple Cloud.

Now that Purple Cloud has sworn an oath with her soul that Yuan Qing's death has nothing to do with her, Ye Hua will most likely suspect Zhu Yin.

However, Zhu Yin is already burdened with debts and has nothing to worry about. Currently, she is not within the Limitless Sect. Even if Ye Hua suspects her, he cannot do anything about it for the time being.

Song Wen frowned and asked with a hint of doubt in his voice.

"A large number of Demon Race have gathered on the edge of the Western Region. Could it be that the Demon Race intend to open up two battlefields simultaneously in the Western Region and Northern Region?"

Purple Cloud shook her head. "According to the two seniors, the Demon Race has been gathered here for several months, but they haven't attacked any nearby Human Race islands, nor have they attacked any passing cultivators. They can't yet fathom the Demon Race's true intentions."

To relieve the siege of Wei by attacking Zhao!

This thought suddenly flashed through Song Wen's mind.

"The Demon Race is gathering on the edge of the Western Region, probably not to attack the Limitless Sect, but to intimidate them and prevent Limitless Sect from easily sending troops to support the Northern Region," Song Wen said, expressing his guess.

Purple Cloud nodded. "Fellow Daoist is absolutely right. Yinshuo Devil Master and I also guessed the same thing. But Ye Hua, the Demon Venerable has a different opinion. He believes that these Demon Race are just bait. The Demon Race are 'luring the snake out of its hole,' trying to lure the Demon Lord and Devil Master out of Limitless Island and then defeat them in one fell swoop."

"The Demon Race actually possesses such wisdom? They even know how to create a false impression?" Song Wen asked.

Purple Cloud said, "This is indeed somewhat unexpected. In this Sea of Disorder, our Human Race and the Demon Race have fought for countless years. Although there are many intelligent and clever individuals among the Demon Race, this is the first time I have seen them use military tactics in war."

Song Wen suddenly realized that the situation in the Sea of Disorder was far more critical and complex than he had imagined.

The Limitless Sect may summon him at any time to go to the front line to fight.

Furthermore, the more critical the situation, the more likely Yinshuo would be to search for Zhu Yin was away, at any time, so that his carefully nurtured furnace would not encounter any accidents.

Once Yinshuo discovers that Zhu Yin is secretly attempting to form a Nascent Soul, he will surely guess that Zhu Yin already knows about his conspiracy.

At that time, regardless of whether Zhu Yin successfully forms a nascent soul or not, she will become a prisoner of Yinshuo.

Song Wen would naturally no longer be able to cultivate with Zhu Yin.
