Jade Spring Sect.
Looking at the woman who had fallen into a deep sleep, True Lord Canxia gently stroked the hair at the corner of her eye. Then, looking at his daughter, whose lips were still tightly closed and whose beautiful eyebrows were furrowed even in her sleep, True Lord Canxia's eyes were filled with heartache.
Once outside the pavilion, a wave of the hand causes a brilliant azure light to seal off the inside and outside, ensuring that no one can disturb the person resting inside.
True Lord Jihai stood in the mountain pavilion outside.
When True Lord Canxia arrived, the middle-aged man turned around, his lips and teeth still numb, and asked in a low voice, "Uncle, how is Junior Sister?"
True Lord Canxia sighed softly and replied, " Yingxue was in seclusion trying to break through to the Nascent Soul, but this Old Devil suddenly attacked. She was worried about her fellow disciples, and in her haste, she had to leave seclusion despite the backlash, which damaged her already Divine Ability foundation."
"Now, having been struck by misfortune after misfortune, my mind and spirit have been damaged, my Divine Ability powers are severely weakened, and even my lifespan has been shortened!"
"The only solution is... the only solution is to supplement with elixirs and quiet recuperation."
fine!
Upon hearing this, Jihai finally felt a great weight lifted from his heart.
Fortunately, it didn't have a truly fatal impact on his Dao Path; otherwise, as the senior brother... he would also be held responsible.
Without the protection of the sect's protective formation, the mountain winds blowing throughout Sunken Jade Valley became extremely fierce.
The mountain wind was biting, blowing against the dilapidated buildings and scarred rocks in Sunken Jade Valley.
The Jade Spring Sect has existed for thousands of years and has weathered countless storms, but it has never been as disheveled as it is today.
The protective array for the sect was completely shattered, and the various halls and pavilions scattered throughout the mountains were almost reduced to ruins.
The sect leader's body was possessed by the soul of the Green Chi, and his whereabouts are unknown.
The remaining Golden Core True Person were almost all affected by the demonic light of the Heaven-Hating Devil Lord. Those cultivators who were still affected were either trapped outside or on their way back.
It was a case of death and injury...
The entire Jade Spring Sect is now facing its most critical moment since its founding.
Uncle.
True Lord Jihai turned his head and said quietly, "For the sake of my junior sister, I ask that you look after the sect for a while longer."
Immediately sensing something amiss, and realizing what the other party was about to do, True Lord Canxia stepped forward and grabbed Jihai's right hand, saying in a deep voice, " Yingxue, you and Qingchen are fellow disciples, but now Qingchen has already... has already..."
The old man hesitated, then said gravely, "You mustn't do anything foolish!"
" Qingchen doesn't want to see this either!"
Jihai knew he was worried about his junior sister, and simply said, "I'm not going to find that Old Devil Hentian, but rather to pursue my senior brother's physical body... My senior brother once said that no matter how domineering that Green Chi is, it can't completely devour my senior brother's soul in a short time."
As he spoke, the only Jade Spring Sect True Nascent Soul True Lord remaining in the Jade Spring Sect took out a Profound Water Banner from his sleeve and entrusted it to True Lord Canxia for safekeeping.
" Xuhong should be in seclusion in some otherworldly space right now, which is why he can't sense the situation within the sect... When he returns, tell him everything that has happened here. If he wants to find my whereabouts, he only needs to activate this Profound Water Banner to follow the traces I left behind."
As soon as the True Lord Canxia took the Profound Water Banner, he felt a cool sensation flow into his body through his palm.
He looked at Jihai again and saw that the middle-aged man's eyes were now only filled with calm.
"Good."
True Lord Jihai nodded slightly, turned around, broke through the void, and disappeared into it.
Qingchen, Jihai, and Ling Qiong.
The three of them had been disciples of the same master and had grown up together since childhood. Even though True Lord Canxia rarely came to the Jade Spring Sect, he knew that to his daughter, Qingchen and Jihai were not only her senior brothers, but also her biological brothers.
Now that Qingchen is in trouble... we can't just leave him to fend for himself!
He simply put away the Profound Water Banner, his heart heavy, and remained silent for a long time.
Once the Old Devil Hentian left, the other Nascent Soul Nascent Soul had been blocking the door also retreated.
When the envoys from the Vast Waves Alliance's affiliated sects, such as the Turbid Wave Pavilion and the Flower Washing Sword Sect, arrived to provide assistance, all that could be seen was the Jade Spring Sect, which was busy with post-war reconstruction.
True Person Yuchuan, Ding Chengyu, was once again appointed to a critical mission, taking over the sect leader's golden token and acting as the sect leader. At the same time, he was given the honor of being a guest minister and was made to serve True Lord Canxia, ensuring that there was still a Nascent Soul in charge of the sect.
Myriad Phenomena Hall.
The True Lord Qingyu the Turbid Wave Pavilion, the Old Man Fish Pillow of the Flower Washing Sword Sect, as well as envoys from the Setting Sun Sect, the Painstaking Heart Sect, and various other sects, large and small, all gathered here.
Ding Chengyu cupped his hands and bowed deeply to the assembled cultivators.
"Fellow Daoists have traveled a great distance to provide our support; the entire Jade Spring Sect is deeply grateful."
"However, our Jade Spring Sect has suffered a great calamity this time. The Sect Master and True Lord Jihai are both seriously injured and are still recuperating. Only the Guest Elder, True Lord Canxia, is still able to move around outside and is unable to personally receive you all. We hope you will understand."
Ding Chengyu's voice was steady and powerful, and his face showed little sadness, which made people nod in approval, feeling that this person was indeed capable of shouldering great responsibilities.
After the envoys from those minor sects left, only True Lord Qingyu and Old Man Fish Pillow remained in the hall.
Ding Chengyu bowed to the two True Lord again and briefly explained the situation, omitting the fact that True Lord Qingchen's body had been possessed by the Green Chi Dragon Soul. He only said that the Sect Master had used Secret Method and suffered a backlash from Secret Method. Although his strength had greatly increased, his soul was unstable, and he had already gone to hunt down the Old Devil Hentian.
True Lord Jihai followed closely behind, determined to make that Old Devil pay the price.
"Senior Old Man Fish Pillow Elder, before True Lord Jihai departed, he said that the position of Alliance Leader would be temporarily entrusted to you, and all affairs within the alliance would be under your full authority."
Old Man Fish Pillow nodded and recounted how his family had been blocked at the door by the True Lord Tingqiao.
"This Tingqiao is a Nascent Soul from a side sect, and his whereabouts are likely mysterious. It's probably true that he was invited by Hentian."
"After Hentian's defeat, he also quickly retreated, only saying that he had offended them today... Heh, just wait and see!"
True Lord Qingyu looked furious.
He said, " Huoyang, Kuchan, and I were cornered in Valley of Ten Thousand Spirits of Ning Country by a monk from Lotus Temple and three Nascent Soul Demon Lord from the sea. Ning Country has now become a demon land."
Upon hearing this, the Old Man Fish Pillow's face immediately darkened.
Things were far worse than he had imagined.
The demon lord of the Sea Demon Cave was one thing, since he already had an ambiguous relationship with the Holy Origin Alliance, but now the Lotus Temple has also gotten involved.
True Lord Qingyu continued, "Fellow Huoyang was severely injured, Kuchan was attacked by the monks of Lotus Temple using Buddhist teachings... They have now returned to their sects to recuperate. Please allow me to convey their message."
The anger in Ding Chengyu's heart was burning away his reason.
But he knew that in the current situation, simply letting his anger run wild would only make things worse.
He is acting as the sect leader, and what he can do now is to reorganize the sect's foundation and help it rise from the ruins as soon as possible, instead of wallowing in self-pity.
After seeing off True Lord Qingyu and Old Man Fish Pillow, True Person Yuchuan turned back into the hall. Before he could even sit down, his face turned slightly pale, and he spat out a stream of golden blood, along with streams of light resembling purplish-black demonic snakes.
After spitting out the blood, he became much more lucid, feeling as if a faint, icy lake was calming his mind amidst a burning inner fire.
"Someone come here!"
Before long, disciples arrived from outside.
The Golden Core True Person wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and simply ordered, "Send someone to summon Senior Brother Wei."
