After circling in the air once, the white ribbon returned to the gourd.
The cultivators saw countless white streaks flash across the sky, and then all those arrogant and murderous demons were killed on the spot.
Upon seeing this, the younger cultivators nearby stared wide-eyed, their faces showing shock.
I had long known that the things my senior brothers wore on their waists were quite unusual.
But to my utter surprise, this gourd was incredibly powerful.
They only heard their senior brothers say, "Treasure, please turn around," and all the demons were killed.
"Senior brother, what exactly is this thing?"
The junior disciple standing to the side looked on in shock, and after a long pause, asked a question.
And their faces couldn't help but show a hint of envy.
Was this given to you by the Daoist Sect after you joined?
How long does one need to cultivate before receiving the reward?
Why haven't the sect leader given these newest generations of disciples this gift yet, even though they've been disciples for so long?
If we had this treasure, wouldn't it be much easier to kill those demons in the future?
Seeing the astonished looks on his fellow disciples' faces, with a hint of envy in their expressions.
Seeing that expression, they knew perfectly well what their junior brother was thinking.
He immediately shook his head and said, "This is a treasure that the senior specially crafted for the disciples of Jade Void Mountain to slay demons."
"Back then, Senior Fang said that if you encounter a powerful demon, just call out, 'My dear, please turn around,' and the demon will be eliminated on its own."
"Having cultivated for many years, and now seeing the appearance of Devil Race, I originally intended to use this item to deal with them. However, I didn't expect these Devil Race to be so troublesome, so I have no choice but to use this treasure."
As he spoke, the senior disciple put away the gourd in front of him.
There was a hint of helplessness in his words.
If we're talking about a real fight against these demons, then of course we can win.
The problem is, I'm afraid many of my fellow disciples will perish by then.
Under these circumstances, they still chose to use this treasure.
This is all for the sake of preventing the loss of more fellow disciples.
Upon hearing the name "Senior Fang," the junior disciples standing nearby immediately realized what was happening.
Although they had never met Senior Fang, they had already heard of his Senior Fang name countless times.
As early as in the Historical Records of the Immortal Sects, we could see several of Senior Fang's battle achievements.
In addition, there are Scripture of Salvation in the Daoist Sect, as well as Daoist talismans and other items.
Before I even started learning, I was already fortunate to receive the kindness of Senior Fang.
This made all the disciples feel that this Senior Fang was a highly skilled and mysterious figure.
So when they heard that the treasures in their senior brothers' hands came from the hands of a senior, they immediately felt it was only natural.
Perhaps it's because, in their hearts, this Senior Fang holds an extremely high position.
Furthermore, Senior Fang had previously snatched back the immortal sect's fortune from the Devil Race Immortal Sect Karmic Fortune.
They were separated from the Devil Race by an unknown distance, and were fighting each other across the void.
It seems like it was a success.
Then, I heard from the senior members of the sect that Senior Fang had also refined the Heaven-Mending Pill and successfully survived the Lightning Tribulation.
Thinking about everything that had happened, the disciples naturally felt immense admiration for this senior.
In their hearts, they had already regarded this Senior Fang as a pillar of the immortal sect.
With this Senior Fang around, the immortal sect will naturally not fall.
Just like these fairies in front of me, I don't know where they all come from, and some of them have extremely extraordinary origins.
This makes them extremely difficult to deal with.
However, if it were Senior Fang in his place, he would surely have annihilated all these demons with a mere wave of his hand.
"Take the wounded disciples and the corpses of your fellow disciples back to the mountain."
After confirming that all the demons ahead had been killed and none had escaped, the leading senior brother's face darkened slightly, and he spoke softly with a hint of sorrow.
Upon hearing this, the remaining disciples' previously high spirits instantly plummeted.
After giving a soft reply, he quickly took the corpses of his fellow disciples and flew away on a cloud.
Today's battle resulted in the deaths of many fellow disciples.
It has been a long time since any cultivators from the Great Qian region have made a move. Having cultivated in the mountains for so long, they have hardly experienced anything like this before.
Previously, the stories of my senior brothers killing and dying were only found in the Historical Records of the Immortal Sects.
The feelings one gets from reading historical records are completely different from the feelings one experiences when facing reality.
This evoked a sense of sadness in everyone present.
After the Daoist Sect disciples left, the clouds that had been stirred gradually returned to normal and ceased to move.
The people below, seeing this, had no idea what was happening above the clouds.
It was just a vague, unexplained guess in my mind.
Shi Jian has returned with his disciples.
At the Jade Void Mountain, when they saw a group of disciples flying back on clouds in the distance, one of the disciples immediately noticed.
Just as they were about to step forward to greet them, they saw some disciples carrying corpses in their hands.
The words were on the tip of her tongue, but a trace of sadness crept onto her face, especially when she saw that familiar face that was now lifeless, making it even harder to hide the sorrow in her heart.
"How come even Shi Yun is included? And Junior Brother Wang Qian, and Junior Brother Wang Yin?"
Seeing the familiar faces ahead, the disciple who stepped forward couldn't help but feel his eyes redden.
The cheerful smiles on the faces of his fellow disciples before they left the mountain, and their words of farewell, involuntarily came to mind.
"Senior brother, we'll be back soon after our trip down the mountain. We must continue our discussion then!"
"Don't worry, we've cultivated for over two hundred years. Protecting the fortune of the sect is a piece of cake for us. Besides, we have so many fellow disciples with us. What could possibly happen?"
Familiar voices rang in my ears, as if I could still hear them from the past.
"My senior brother is incompetent."
Shi Jian's lips moved, but in the end, it turned into an apology.
The disciple before him shook his head upon hearing this, "Although our Jade Void Mountain is much stronger than before, with countless more disciples possessing high cultivation levels."
"However, all the disciples who went down the mountain to protect the Dao have perished, and this has been recorded in the Historical Records of the Immortal Sects."
"Senior brother must be aware of what's going on here."
As he spoke, he stepped aside so that his fellow disciple could return to the sect as soon as possible.
The disciples landed one by one and placed the corpses in front of the main hall.
The sect leader was already waiting. Although he had expected it, he couldn't help but feel a chill when he saw the disciple being carried down.
His hand unconsciously gripped the whisk in his hand tightly.
"Sect Leader."
Shi Jian stepped forward, bowing his head to apologize.
The sect leader sighed and waved his hand, "I know everything that happened here. There's no need for guilt. It's our destiny that we disciples would sacrifice ourselves to protect our righteous path."
Upon hearing this, Shi Jian moved his lips slightly, then nodded gently.
Seeing his disciple in such a state, the sect leader sighed.
"Countless demons have come to the Great Qian Dynasty this time, many of whom come from overseas, and some demons with extraordinary backgrounds have also come here."
" The Great Qian Dynasty has stood in the world for a thousand years, accumulating an extremely rich fortune. For those demons, it is like an spirit medicine of immortality. Consuming even a small amount can grant them hundreds of years of cultivation. If they could devour a palm-sized amount of fortune, they could become a powerful demon."
"Such temptation naturally attracted countless demons, many of whom possessed extraordinary origins. Under such circumstances, their demise was inevitable."
The sect leader sighed deeply at this point.
The senior students from back then had already anticipated what would happen today.
Therefore, after the establishment of the Great Qian Dynasty, he devoted himself to cultivation, awaiting the calamity of today.
The senior disciples from back then have always been deeply worried about the calamity that is about to befall them.
Their generation frequently engaged in battles to slay demons and monsters, and countless fellow disciples perished around them.
Even under those circumstances, demons and monsters were already rampant. How much more so for a dynasty like the Great Qian Dynasty, which had stood for a thousand years, wouldn't it be a scene of utter chaos and demonic possession?
When that time comes, will the younger disciples be able to withstand such demons?
Because of this worry, all the senior brothers cultivated extremely hard, striving to live for a thousand years so that they could hold up their umbrellas and protect their junior brothers.
Unfortunately, very few of my fellow disciples from back then have survived to this day.
Before those senior brothers passed away one after another, he was extremely worried and called them over.
He urged them to cultivate themselves diligently so that they could overcome this tribulation.
Today, when I recall the earnest teachings of my senior classmates, I feel only a sense of loneliness, as if I were all alone.
He has transformed from a junior brother who hides behind his senior brothers, watching them shield him from the wind and rain, into the sect leader who now protects all his disciples from the wind and rain.
I just miss my senior brothers so much.
Qin Xuzi's eyes were deep as he recalled the humility his senior brothers had shown him and the scenes of them guiding him in his cultivation.
At that time, he was just starting out.
"Sect Leader, those demonic Divine Ability extremely strange. Even with our precautions, we disciples are finding it very difficult to deal with them."
Shi Jian didn't notice his sect leader's gaze; instead, upon hearing these words, he couldn't help but think of those demons.
Thinking about how each of those demons possessed different supernatural Divine Ability, and how they were all impossible to defend against, he couldn't help but feel a little helpless.
Such fairies are hard to come by in the past, but nowadays they are quite common.
More than a dozen people came at once.
Moreover, it's even more difficult to defend against when these guys attack together.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuzi snapped out of his reverie, turned around, and nodded slightly to the disciple in front of him.
You've done a great job.
If the senior disciples from back then could see the performance of these disciples today, they would surely be very gratified.
Qin Xuzi spoke, his eyes flickered slightly, and the next moment he saw several figures appear in the distance.
However, other disciples were flying towards the mountain gate.
When these disciples arrived at the mountain gate, a glance revealed that each of them was covered in blood.
They all look like they've been through a fierce battle.
Judging from this, demons from any place are not easy to deal with.
Upon seeing this, the disciples of Jade Void Mountain, who were resting, quickly stepped forward and escorted their injured fellow disciple to the front of the main hall.
They then helped treat the other person's injuries.
After carefully confirming that all the returning disciples were safe and sound, Qin Xuzi summoned some of them to inquire about the situation around the Great Qian Dynasty.
After gaining a better understanding, Qin Xuzi fell into deep thought.
"I had heard that some overseas Aquatic Race were also vying for the fortune, but now there seems to be no trace of Aquatic Race. Could it be that Aquatic Race have retreated on their own?"
The disciples sitting around the room all changed their expressions upon hearing this.
Yes, I heard before that these Aquatic Race seemed to be planning to stir up the water veins and destroy the cities along the river.
Many disciples were worried about this and guarded the area around the river to prevent these Aquatic Race from entering.
However, other fairies have already shown themselves, eager to seize this fortune.
In many places, the fortunes of the land have already dissipated, and they are only waiting for the establishment of a new dynasty to regroup.
In this situation, if the other party hasn't made a move, is it because they've retreated, or are they still secretly plotting and waiting for an opportunity?
"Some of our disciples stationed along the river said that the Dragon King in the river is also carefully dealing with these Aquatic Race, and all the Aquatic Race in the Dragon Palace have been dispatched to guard against these demons."
"But even now, there's still no sign of those Aquatic Race. If Aquatic Race are truly hiding in the river, they surely can't escape the Dragon King's notice."
In any case, the Dragon King has been operating here for thousands of years.
If he takes precautions, these Aquatic Race can still hide well.
Either the Aquatic Race from overseas are incredibly Divine Ability, or the Dragon King is simply turning a blind eye to this matter and has no intention of taking proper precautions.
All those previous precautions were just for show.
However, I've heard that the Dragon King and Senior Fang have a very good relationship. With Senior Fang's connection, the Dragon King probably wouldn't act this way.
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuzi couldn't help but furrow his brow slightly.
After pondering for a moment, he shook his head. "We still need to be on guard around the Great Qian, to prevent other demons from coming to steal our fortune again."
"As for the Aquatic Race, you can continue to guard against them in the same way. The senior from Rising Tide Valley is already investigating the Aquatic Race. If the Aquatic Race have any ulterior motives, that senior should have already noticed them."
People know relatively little about this Aquatic Race, and in addition, the other party is proficient in water magic.
It was extremely difficult for these cultivators to track down their target in the water.
In truth, it all came down to the Dragon King's vigilance.
Unless the other side directly attacks, it's difficult for them to defend themselves; otherwise, it's indeed difficult to do anything.
That's just how things are, and Qin Xuzi can only hope that the senior from Rising Tide Valley will gain something from this.
"Yes, disciple will rest with my fellow disciples for a while, and then immediately descend the mountain."
Upon hearing this, the disciples responded and left the main hall to recuperate.
There are still many Jade Void Mountain disciples patrolling and on guard at the foot of the mountain; they need to hurry up and recover.
If it weren't for the fact that demons roamed the area below the mountain, and they were worried that their poor condition might lead to them encountering demons while recovering, which could be detrimental to them.
I'm afraid they won't return to the mountain gate.
However, we should hurry up and recover; once our Law Power is restored, we should quickly descend the mountain.
The longer they are away, the greater the pressure will be on their fellow disciples down the mountain.
