At the Heavenly Dao Sect!
Li Xiaoya and Dong Santong sat cross-legged in a great hall, their eyes closed as they rested their minds.
"Ah! Senior Brother! This is so boring! How about we spar?" Dong Santong suddenly opened his eyes and spoke to Dong Santong. Seeing that Li Xiaoya ignored him, he complained, "Ah! Uncle-Master Qianshan really is something. Leaving you alone on the mountain would have been enough. I could have gone to reinforce the Heavenly Spirit Church!"
Ever since Dong Santong and Li Xiaoya had been assigned to the third wave of the main fighting force, neither could return to his own cave abode. They had to remain stationed in the main hall, ready to fight at any moment! But how could someone with Dong Santong's temperament sit still? When he heard that the Demon Realm army was attacking the Heavenly Spirit Church, he had been itching to head out and enjoy a good battle. Yet as the two great pillars of the human cultivators, how could they enter the fray so casually? Naturally, High Person Qianshan and Liu Xian'er had made them stay here and wait...
"...Don't be impatient. Your chance to fight will come!" Li Xiaoya said without even opening his eyes.
"Uh! I wonder how long the Heavenly Spirit Church can hold out. It's not a particularly detestable demonic sect!" Dong Santong stood up and paced a few steps as he spoke. After being imprisoned in that birdcage for several hundred years, he had not become any calmer; instead, he had grown even more restless. Who knew how he had endured his time in that mysterious birdcage...
"Yes! That's why our Heavenly Dao Sect sent reinforcements the moment they requested aid! The other sects are probably still dragging their feet!" Li Xiaoya said calmly.
