The War Between Righteousness and Evil Begins

A few days later, a grand funeral was held in Phoenix City, not only to send off Su Du, but also to pay tribute to the people who perished in the disaster.

On that day, Han Yu attended as the new emperor. After so many days of adjustment, she was in much better condition, but she still couldn't help but tear up during the ceremony.

The funeral lasted for three days. Three days later, news forced Shen Ge to leave Phoenix Kingdom and return to his sect.

Outside the main hall of the Spirit Moon Sect, countless disciples gathered, all with solemn expressions.

Standing on the high platform, Ziyang said solemnly, "We just received news that the Blood Devil Grotto has attacked the Evergreen Sect and the Yellow Maple Valley. Currently, the three sides are engaged in a fierce battle in the Wind Heaven Ravine."

"Sect Leader, should we go and provide support?" a disciple asked.

"No, we will not go to their aid, because I have already received news that those female demons from the Hehuan Sect have already set off, and their target is us."

The Hehuan Sect's target is our Spirit Moon Sect? Are you kidding me?

According to the map of the entire Southern Barbarian Lands, the Spirit Moon Sect is located in the far south, with the sea to the south, the Evergreen Sect to the northwest, and the newly established Purple Qi Sect to the northeast. It can only be said that it has a small border with the Blood Devil Grotto in the northeast.

The Hehuan Sect is located in the northern part of the Southern Barbarian Lands, below which lies the Flowing Gold Valley, followed by White Bone Mountain and Yellow Maple Valley.

Given such a great distance, if the Hehuan Sect were to attack, it would be the Flowing Gold Valley, not the Spirit Moon Sect.

It would be more reasonable for Blood Devil Grotto to attack Spirit Moon Sect.

"This time, the demonic path intends to wage a full-scale war against us. The Blood Devil Grotto family is holding back the Evergreen Sect and the Yellow Maple Valley, White Bone Mountain and Flowing Gold Valley have always had constant friction, and we also have a great grudge against the Hehuan Sect, so they will definitely come to our Spirit Moon Sect this time."

"We cannot allow them to wage war within our Spirit Moon Sect's territory; we must keep those vixens outside our sphere of influence!"

"Moreover, the target of those demonic forces this time is very likely the Phoenix Kingdom, which has mastered the Fortune Dynasty Method; we must do everything we can to protect them."

"Now we need to devise a countermeasure..."

Three hours later, the pre-battle mobilization finally ended.

Shen Ge wasn't assigned any tasks. This time, the tasks were mainly assigned to the elders and protectors who were at the Golden Core Stage. Those of them who hadn't reached the Golden Core yet would just have to improvise.

In the evening, Shen Ge arrived at Mu Wan's cave abode. Just as he was about to knock on the door, he saw the wooden sign standing outside her cave abode.

"Pursuing the Golden Core, do not disturb."

"This is too reckless," Shen Ge said, frowning and somewhat annoyed. "If I remember correctly, she only broke through to the Foundation Establishment Peak three months ago. What is she trying to do by rushing to the Golden Core stage so quickly!"

Shen Ge really wanted to go in and drag Mu Wan out to question her about whether she was courting death, but since Mu Wan had already started, disturbing her now might only harm her, so she turned back.

In fact, once you reach the Foundation Establishment Peak, you can attempt to break through to the Golden Core Stage at any time. However, many people choose to stay there for more than ten years, or even a hundred years, just to be on the safe side.

Just like Senior Sister Su Liuyue, although she has extremely high talent, she stayed in the Foundation Establishment Realm for at least a hundred years in order to hone her body to its strongest.

Foundation Establishment Foundation Establishment is about establishing the foundation for cultivating immortality. Without external interference, who would be reckless?

After returning to her courtyard, Shen Ge summoned Su Sui and asked, "When did your Martial Aunt Mu Wan go into seclusion?"

Su Sui glanced at Shen Ge somewhat nervously and replied, "Reporting to Master, it was the day you departed for the Phoenix Kingdom. That day, I drank some spiritual wine with Aunt Mu Wan, and she seemed a little unhappy. Since then, she has gone back into seclusion."

Shen Ge paused for a moment, then shook her head and said, "Never mind, you can go back."

Su Sui didn't move. After thinking for a moment, she said, "Master, it's actually your fault. I'm someone you two watched grow up. Perhaps you were just familiar senior brothers and sisters before, but so many years have passed, and your relationship with Aunt Mu Wan has long since changed. In fact, you both felt it, but neither of you said it."

"Master, you don't want to be a burden to Aunt Mu Wan because of your injuries, and Aunt Mu Wan knows what you're thinking. She doesn't say anything because she's afraid of being rejected by you and then distancing herself from you."

"When she went to the Phoenix Kingdom last time, she was a little unhappy when she saw Han Yu, but she understood your thoughts, Master, so she didn't take it to heart. But ever since Han Yu risked his life to save you, everything has changed."

"Uncle Mu Wan Mu Wan afraid. She's afraid you'll be stuck in the Phoenix Kingdom forever. And the reason she's heartbroken is that you didn't answer her question that day."

"Have you said enough? If you've said enough, then get out." Shen Ge said calmly, "I will handle my affairs. Don't cause any more trouble."

Su Sui was stunned. This was the first time Shen Ge had spoken to her so coldly, which made her feel wronged. She was clearly doing this for his own good, so how could he treat her like this?

Feeling somewhat uncomfortable, Su Sui gave a perfunctory bow and then turned and left.

Just as she was about to leave, Shen Ge called out, "Here are a hundred Burst Talisman, fifty Golden Body Talisman, and two top-grade defensive Law Artifact. Take them."

"Now that the righteous and demonic paths are at war, we mustn't let our master, an old man with white hair, bury his young son."

Su Sui caught the Storage Bag that Shen Ge threw at him and retorted angrily, "How can you act like this, Master? Cursing your own disciple to die? And where are you getting white hair?"

"Get out! You're only uncomfortable if you don't go against your master, aren't you?"

"Tch~" Su Sui curled her lip, then walked away without looking back.

After a long while, Shen Ge got up and went to the window. Looking at the woods outside, he looked somewhat melancholy. He had originally planned to explain things to Mu Wan, but Mu Wan seemed to have guessed his thoughts and went into seclusion, which made Shen Ge both worried and helpless.

"But that's fine too. The war is about to begin, so there's no need to worry about Mu Wan dying on the battlefield while she's in seclusion."

"The Hehuan Sect... I vaguely remember when I first arrived, I boasted that I would take down the Hehuan Sect with a spear. Looking back now, I was truly young and ignorant."

Even now, if I were thrown into that group of witches, I probably couldn't take on more than three or five of them.

Shen Ge chuckled softly, seemingly laughing at his own ignorance and audacity upon arriving in this world.

"The Life and Death Instruction is truly a love-hate relationship. Oh well, who cares if it's a fishing Cultivation Method or not? I've reached a dead end, and this is the only path I have left."

With a sigh, Shen Ge returned to his room. However, he did not immediately begin practicing the Life and Death Instruction, as war was about to break out. He planned to wait until after the war to begin practicing it. After all, the sect had treated him well, and practicing the Life and Death Instruction was fraught with danger, with the possibility of death at any moment. Therefore, Shen Ge planned to make some contribution to the sect with his crippled body before embarking on this perilous path.
