I Am Willing to Enter the Hidden Moon Forest
Fu Shuangjiang wasn't one for empty talk; his asking everyone to leave meant he had already planned to do so.
He was already surprised and moved that the people of the Immortal Spirit Realm were willing to help him, but the situation in the Black Tortoise Realm was critical, and how could Fu Shuangjiang let these people die with him?
"However, if possible, I hope the Immortal Spirit Realm can allow some people from the Black Tortoise Realm to go there. I am willing to give all the treasures of Sword Frost Cliff to any sect that is willing to take in these people, just asking that the Immortal Spirit Realm can give them a place to go." Fu Shuangjiang suddenly spoke.
Heng Wen nearby, immediately cried out, "Senior brother, what are you saying!"
But even if Fu Shuangjiang didn't say it, it was clear from Heng Wen that this meant the entire Black Tortoise Realm was beyond saving.
Su Fuyun tried to speak several times, but Luo Jin had already given her a meaningful look. She hadn't forgotten how Fu Shuangjiang embarrassed her earlier, and seeing his pained expression, Su Fuyun was secretly pleased.
But her joy didn't last long before Sang Ying's question reached her ears:
"Senior Fu really thinks the Black Tortoise Realm is beyond saving and wants to give up completely?"
Her tone lacked emotion, but there was an inexplicable hint of sarcasm in it. Fu Shuangjiang's ears inexplicably turned red when she was asked that question.
"Non-Self want to give up, but Heaven refuses to grant the Black Tortoise Realm a way out. I can only use my last strength to seek a way to survive for those around me." Fu Shuangjiang lowered her eyes, looking extremely pitiful.
Before the others could speak, Su Fuyun seemed to have seized on Sang Ying's words and retorted, "Fellow Daoist Sang Ying, what you're saying is... If there were still a chance, would Fellow Daoist Fu be so distressed? You haven't experienced this kind of pain, so naturally you don't understand the struggle in Fellow Daoist Fu's heart."
Sang Ying glanced up slightly, but Jimo Xuan spoke up for his sister, saying, "So, from what you're saying, you've experienced this kind of pain? I didn't know the Mara Gate was in such dire straits. Do they need our Azure Feather Sect's help?"
Su Fuyun was annoyed by the rebuke. Looking at the smile on Sang Ying's lips, she said unhappily, "Fellow Daoist Ji Mo is truly chivalrous. Fellow Sang Ying has only known you for a few days, yet you're protecting her like this. I'm quite envious."
Now, not only Jimo Xuan, but even Jimo Qing and Ji Fucang frowned in unison.
"I wonder who Holy Maiden Su is referring to when she calls out 'Fellow Daoist Jimo'? Our Jimo Household has always valued personal connections. If we find someone agreeable, we naturally show them more favor. But if we don't, our attitude is naturally not as good."
Jimo Qing looked at Su Fuyun: "I wonder if hearing this answer will lessen Holy Maiden Su's envy?"
He emphasized the last two words, "Envy."
Being confronted by two people in a row, both of whom were capable and influential, people he couldn't afford to offend, Su Fuyun's face instantly turned ashen, but he dared not retaliate any further.
Sensing the awkward atmosphere in the tent, Fu Shuangjiang quickly spoke up to ease the tension, "We understand everyone's good intentions, but fate is predetermined, and human power is too weak to change it. If we can be taken in by the Immortal Spirit Realm, that would already be our greatest fortune."
"Fate is predetermined? I don't think so!" Sang Ying retorted almost as soon as Fu Shuangjiang finished speaking.
The original book only describes how Su Fuyun met outstanding men along the way and, with luck that others could not match, successfully ascended to immortality after obtaining Sang Ying's Spirit Root.
However, the book also mentions the inside story of these five small worlds to some extent. Among them, the Black Tortoise Realm was fine after Su Fuyun ascended. In fact, after Su Fuyun broke the barrier Upper Realm and Lower Realm worlds, the Black Tortoise Realm produced quite a few cultivators who ascended to become immortals.
Even though Sang Ying's fate has changed a lot, she doesn't think these changes will affect the fate of the Black Tortoise Realm.
Sang Ying: "Since Senior Fu dared to perish along with the Black Tortoise Realm, why doesn't he dare to go into the Hidden Moon Forest and investigate the truth?"
In fact, as soon as she arrived at the front line with the others, Sang Ying felt a voice calling her to go deeper into the forest.
Although Sang Ying didn't know what it was, she felt that it wouldn't harm her; on the contrary, it would bring her help.
Fu Shuangjiang was taken aback by Sang Ying's question.
He had already concluded that his master and the others had died deep in the forest, so he had never intended to investigate the so-called truth. But now that Sang Ying had brought it up, an idea suddenly popped into his head.
Yes, since we're already at a dead end, why not venture into the forest and explore?
"Junior Sister Sang Ying, what's going on?" Ji Fucang knew Sang Ying quite well, and now that she had suddenly spoken, he was probably thinking of this too.
It's understandable that Fu Shuangjiang went into the forest for the sake of her sect and master, but why did Sang Ying go in?
Just as Ji Fucang had guessed, Sang Ying quickly added, "If Senior Fu doesn't mind, I would also like to enter the Hidden Moon Forest. The Demon Beast rampage is no small matter, and I want to know what caused the current situation."
And what was it that kept urging her to get closer?
"How can this be?" Fu Shuangjiang instinctively wanted to refuse.
But Sang Ying insisted, "I will not cause any trouble on this trip, and I am capable of protecting myself. If I am accidentally injured, I will leave the forest immediately and will not cause any trouble for you, senior. Please grant my request."
Fu Shuangjiang felt helpless at being called "senior" several times, but she didn't refuse immediately.
In the ensuing silence, Fu Shuangjiang said he needed to think about it some more and would give Sang Ying an answer in two days.
He also hoped that Sang Ying could think things through carefully in the next couple of days and not make a hasty decision.
Sang Ying didn't refuse, but she knew she was determined to go to the Hidden Moon Forest!
Twin Orchid Realm, Flowing Light Sword Sect.
The tense atmosphere within the sect was almost suffocating. Song Jiaojiao silently swept up the fallen leaves at the mountain gate, feeling oppressed and suffocated, but she didn't know who to talk to.
Half a month ago, a person claiming to be "Fusheng" easily broke into the Devil Palace, defeated the former Demon Lord, and after subduing the entire Devil Domain, he led his army down to declare war on the major immortal sects.
The various sects initially paid no attention, after all, in their view, no matter how powerful the new Demon Lord was, he could not withstand the entire righteous path.
They simply hadn't expected the alliance of the righteous to be so fragile, so easily dismantled by an inside agent sent by the opposing side.
One by one, the sects were wiped out, and some were even razed to the ground by the Demon Lord's army before the news could even get out.
By the time the Flowing Light Sword Sect realized what was happening, the Demon Lord's forces had already annihilated most of the immortal sects in the Twin Orchid Realm!
Only then did everyone realize how terrifying the Devil Race were. They frantically sought allies, hoping to unite and protect themselves.
A group of righteous cultivators, now they don't even dare to face the enemy head-on, and instead take the initiative to send people to negotiate!
What saddened Song Jiaojiao the most was that the person who advocated for peace talks was actually the sect leader she once revered.
Thinking of all this, she silently put down the broom in her hand and looked up at the sky above the Flowing Light Sword Sect.
Martial Aunt Sang Ying, where are you now? If you can hear me, please come back soon. If you don't return, you may never see the Flowing Light Sword Sect again!
