Chapter 004

After Su Yao awoke, she became even colder, to the point of being somewhat indifferent and unapproachable. She had become the leader of Qionghua, adorned with purple silk and golden hairpins, exuding nobility and authority. However, she was no longer that occasionally gentle senior sister who had a childhood sweetheart deeply in love with her. Only when dealing with this fellow disciple, who shared her suffering, would a profound and inextricable sorrow be reflected in her eyes.

Ming Xijue was taken aback upon hearing this news and immediately contacted the Lord God: "Hello, isn't this the world of Xianjian IV? Shouldn't the main conflict be between the human race and the demon race? What is this demonic path all about?" It is clear that this demonic path is not something easy to deal with; it is likely that even before any changes occurred in Qionghua, they would have to exert their utmost effort, let alone now.

Most of the disciples of Qionghua were actually ambushed and killed by the Dream Beast while attempting to seize the Purple Crystal in the Illusory Dream Realm. Fortunately, the core group of several dozen disciples was busy tending to the severely injured Taiqing, Xuanzhen, the elders, and friends, so they did not venture out too often, allowing most of them to remain. In the realm of cultivation, the key still lies in the quantity and quality of the experts. Therefore, although other sects were unwilling to concede to the library, they had no choice but to retreat, yet they still proposed such a plan.

They are being excessively unreasonable, actually expecting us to exert ourselves to eliminate a demon realm! There is a strong killing intent in Su Yao's eyes, "Even the demon realm residing in the mountains of Mount Shu cannot be resolved, and other sects are no better; they still have the audacity!"

She was about to say something, but suddenly stopped, her complexion growing worse.

Su Yao took a deep breath and slowly said: "The commotion from the Eight Great Sects is too significant, allowing the demonic forces that have been lurking in the shadows for tens of thousands of years to see this as a good opportunity, and they have begun a large-scale invasion of the Central Plains"

Ming Xijue struck Su Yao with a palm, rendering her unconscious, only to discover two vivid red marks trailing down from her eyes

Demon Realm? Eight Factions United? Ming Xijue frowned slightly, then said with a cold expression, "If they seek death, let them go; I will not act."

In the heart-wrenching cries of Su Yao, in the silent presence of Ming Xi Jue, and amidst the tears of Zong Lian, Li You, and all those familiar faces, Xuan Zhen departed with a gentle smile and lingering gaze. In his critical moment, he held Su Yao's hand and softly said: "I will wait for you in the underworld. If you become an immortal, just come to see me one last time. If not... I will not let you be lonely. We will hold hands forever and leave together, shall we?"

Ming Xijue slowly opened her eyes, looking at the seemingly timeless and icy woman before her, and asked: "What is it this time?"

"Alright, wait for me, you must wait for me." Su Yao finally could not hold back, yet she did not want Xuan Zhen to see her in such a disheveled state, so she could only choke out these words.

"Not to mention their delusions, Xuanxiao, your condition has been increasingly unstable lately," Suyao remarked after assessing Mingxijue's state.

"Do not be like this, do not worry about me, you know, I have always been clever." Xuan Zhen's smile had a hint of cunning, "You see, I am still this selfish..."

"No, I will not wait for you, Xuan Zhen. Do you hear me? I will not wait for you. I will become an immortal and will no longer see you. If you do not wish for us to be separated for eternity, then wake up!" Su Yao refused to accept reality, speaking hysterically, "Xuan Zhen, wake up. I beg you, wake up, okay?"

No, please do not say anything... Su Yao noticed his voice growing weaker and carefully infused her pure spiritual energy into him, holding his hand, yet she dared not shed tears

During the grand ceremony of Su Yao becoming the sect leader, Qionghua was attacked by a tide of demon beasts. Everyone was actually well aware of the situation. In order to achieve the best effect, Ming Xijue employed the powerful sword technique "Sword Crying Nine Heavens," which was recently developed by Xuanxiao. As a result, countless sword shadows filled the sky, intermingled with the Xihe Yangyan that dispelled evil and vanquished demons, instantly annihilating those high-level demon beasts. When everyone looked at Ming Xijue, who gracefully sheathed his sword, they were left in awe, and he successfully intimidated all the sects. However, they feared that once Ming Xijue used this move, he would be left powerless, so they conducted various tests. They organized sect competitions to observe Qionghua's new talents and went to various places to gather materials to slay demons together. In the end, they witnessed countless sword shadows once again, intermingled with the Xihe Yangyan, instantly annihilating those high-level demon beasts.

Do you remember our childhood? You were so stubborn. To prevent you from overtraining, I stole your sword, and as a result, we played hide and seek everywhere in Qionghua, causing quite a commotion... Xuan Zhen smiled, gently and calmly, "If you haven't found me for the time being, don't be anxious, and don't forget, every time it was I who found you first, no matter how many people there were, no matter where it was..."

Upon reaching this thought, Ming Xijue could only feel an overwhelming sense of frustration

Ming Xijue said: "Regarding the matters of Xuanji and Suyu, I have managed to break through the concept of 'emotion', elevating my state of mind and simultaneously causing my cultivation to surge. The Water Spirit Pearl can no longer be contained; if I were to act a few more times, I fear I would directly fall into madness"

Ming Xijue's heart sank as she realized that the few of them had sworn by Taiqing's bedside to eradicate the demon realm and ensure Qionghua's ascension. It seemed that even if she became an immortal, Suyao would likely abandon her cultivation without hesitation to accompany Xuan Zhen, as she had already developed a resolve to die

Which cultivation novel have you seen that does not feature a confrontation between righteous and demonic forces? The main god mocked him, "What you see must be correct, right?"

Ming Xijue's expression suddenly turned grim; he certainly understood that this time, he had to fight with all his might

Since the day when Xuanxiao exposed the selfishness of the two elders, Qingyang and Chongguang have become like rats crossing the street. However, due to the current scarcity of talent in Qionghua, and considering their years of management, there is a fear that mishandling the situation could provoke some changes. At present, Qionghua cannot endure any upheaval. Therefore, after discussions among Suyao, Zonglian, and Liyou, it was publicly stated that the two elders had retreated to Qingfeng Gorge. However, those who attended that meeting all understood that this was, in fact, a form of disguised imprisonment, as Qingyang and Chongguang had no other means of leaving that place filled with formations except for ascension.

Ming Xijue felt an ominous sense, and after Su Yao finished her communication with the other party, he asked: "What is it?"

Currently, Qionghua appears to be thriving, yet in reality, it is in a state of transition. The elders are either aging, have died in battle, or have other intentions. Although the younger generation has undergone fierce battles, they still require time to mature. The entire sect relies on Xuanxiao's continuous achievements during this period. Moreover, he is a late-stage Nascent Soul expert and the most powerful sword immortal with formidable offensive capabilities, wielding the divine sword Xihe. Those who value their lives dare not take action against him. If anything were to happen to Xuanxiao, it could lead to the potential downfall of the sect.

Su Yao felt even more anxious upon hearing him say this
