“I wonder what’s happening below... The battle is so intense—!!!”
At this moment, Yu Ling’er and Ye Xuan stood together on Qingxue Peak, looking down at the surroundings of Taihua Mountain. They saw fierce battles raging all around Taihua Mountain.
Countless demons charged towards the base of Taihua Mountain’s formations, creating a surge of beasts like a tidal wave, which was quite terrifying.
These demons, small as humans and agile in movement, and the larger ones as tall as several floors, their every slap causing the ground to shake. Despite their apparent clumsiness, they were a significant threat.
However, from the top of the sky, these smaller-scale battles were not visible. The real intense fighting was happening in the sky. All over Taihua Mountain, the experts of Taihua Immortal Sect were suppressing the groups of demons.
Even Daoqin, the sect master, had personally joined the battle. The resonant sound of her qin emanated from Taihua Mountain, disintegrating numerous demons wherever it passed.
The entire sky above Taihua Mountain, visible to the naked eye, was dominated by a huge formation. The sky seemed to become a part of Taihua Mountain itself, and under the might of the formation, all demons were suppressed.
This time, everyone capable of fighting in Taihua Immortal Sect was mobilized. The sky was filled with immortals engaged in combat, sword Qi’s crisscrossing. The demonic Qi’s was also overwhelmingly intense.
“”Sword Transforms into the Nine Heavens—!” Just then, from somewhere below, a clear shout was heard, sword intent soared into the sky, and the sword Qi in the air transformed into a massive image of the Goddess of the Nine Heavens, wielding a sword that slashed towards a target.”
“Roar—!!!” Accompanied by a pitiful howl of a demon. It seemed that a powerful demon was obliterated by that single strike of the Nine Heavens Goddess.
“The Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword Technique... it’s Senior Sister Qingxue...” Yu Ling’er looked in that direction and said.
“”Is it? That’s the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword Technique, indeed powerful.” Ye Xuan inwardly regretted.”
Clearly, in the script he had written, that mysterious technique was something he could cultivate himself, but it was automatically corrected by the system to a technique that only those who had seen it could comprehend.
He missed the chance to learn the Nine Heavens Mysterious Sword Technique. However, since Qingxue knew it, she could teach him, and with his ‘selfless sword heart’, learning such a technique shouldn’t really take hundreds of years.
Yet, Ye Xuan was puzzled. When did the Taihua Mountain script include an attack by demons? Even if there was, wasn’t it a scene he had arranged much later? What was going on now?
So, he directly asked Yu Ling’er, “Ling’er, you said you were reborn. Do you know about this great battle?”
“”I don’t know.” Yu Ling’er shook her head, looking puzzled, “I never knew about so many demons attacking Taihua... Strange... Why are there so many demons attacking Taihua Mountain now? What’s going on?!!””
With confusion, the two kept watching the battle below from the mountaintop.
The battle lasted for a full two hours. It ended with Taihua Mountain remaining intact. Although everyone on Taihua Mountain was busy, there were no casualties.
However, the attacking demons suffered heavy losses, leaving many corpses and many were captured and imprisoned in Taihua Demon Prison.
Ye Xuan and Yu Ling’er waited on Qingxue Peak, not knowing how much time had passed, until finally, a streak of sword light flew up to Qingxue Peak. The light dissipated, revealing Qingxue’s figure.
“”My wife, how are you? Are you injured?” Ye Xuan asked with concern.”
“”I’m fine, just a bit of spiritual Qi consumed. I’ll recover after meditating for a while.” Qingxue replied, “But... this has become troublesome now.””
“What exactly happened?” Ye Xuan asked.
“”It seems... a major event that affects the whole world has occurred,” Qingxue said. “The demons of the world are in turmoil. Someone is deliberately instigating these demons to attack Taihua. The specific details are still unknown.””
“”Mm.” Ye Xuan nodded and said, “It looks like I really need to hasten my cultivation... Otherwise, the next time something like this happens, I won’t even have the ability to watch the battle.””
Although he had previously reached the realm of immortals, that was achieved under the state of the script. In the script state, Ye Xuan was absolutely safe from any danger and wouldn’t encounter situations not written in the script, thanks to the system fulfilling the script requirements.
But now it’s different, this is the real world...
If he truly encountered danger, he would lack not only the ability to participate in the battle but even the ability to protect himself or escape. That would be too ridiculous—!!!
“Seeing Ye Xuan like this, Qingxue smiled slightly and nodded, saying, “You’re right... Husband, don’t worry. Since entering Taihua Immortal Sect, I’ve saved a lot of good things. I will give all these to you to help you return to the immortal realm as soon as possible—!!!””
Saying this, she felt a bit regretful... If she hadn’t killed Ye Xuan in his previous life, with his terrifying talent, living for hundreds of years, he would probably have been invincible by now.
Ye Xuan’s current plight was all her fault. So, she must do her best to help Ye Xuan recover his cultivation as soon as possible—!!
“”Brother Ye Xuan, I will also work hard to cultivate, striving not to hold you back.” At this moment, Yu Ling’er on the side was also silently making a vow to herself to work hard in her cultivation.”
After all, although her talent was already impressive, compared to Ye Xuan’s terrifying talent, it was still far behind.
Perhaps... Ye Xuan might actually possess the legendary Immortal Spirit Root. Although no one could discern the quality of his spirit root, only an Immortal Spirit Root could explain his speed of cultivation.
Fortunately, Yu Ling’er, although not a reincarnated immortal, had also reached the realm of immortals in her past life. She believed that as long as she worked hard, she definitely wouldn’t be left too far behind by Ye Xuan.
Elsewhere, a woman, with a look of unwillingness on her face and holding her shoulder, stood at a hidden spot outside Taihua Mountain, gazing in the direction of the mountain.
Behind her, nine large tails hung limply on the ground. On her shoulder, a significant wound was bleeding profusely.
As she continuously channeled spiritual Qi into her shoulder, the wound was healing bit by bit. However, no sooner had it begun to heal a little than a streak of sword qi swept over, reopening the wound.
“Cursed sword qi, Taihua’s swordsmanship is indeed well-deserved in its reputation. Even now, I can’t heal myself...” The woman’s face was filled with hatred.
“”I just didn’t expect that in taking the risk of sneaking into Taihua amidst the chaos of the demons’ attack, I wouldn’t find that heartless Ye Xuan at Qingyan Peak...””
“”Could it be that he deceived me from the start? That he’s not actually from Qingyan Peak? I’ve miscalculated—!!! Well, no matter, I’ll just have to wait a bit longer. He will eventually leave Taihua Mountain.””
After speaking, a spatial rift opened behind her. She slowly retreated into the rift and then disappeared without a trace.
