There are countless geniuses in the world of cultivation, but only my junior sister Sha Diao

The scene was about to turn into a massive carnage.

"Wait, let's not fight yet. I think I can explain this... uh."

Before Gu Xia could figure out how to mediate the fight, Xu Xingmu charged straight at her on his sword.

"Little junior sister?"

His face was full of disbelief. He reached out a hand and tentatively touched her. When he felt that familiar warmth, his eyes immediately reddened.

"It really is Junior Sister!" The young man suddenly hugged her, his dark eyes filled with tears, and he cried loudly while holding Gu Xia, "You're not dead, thank goodness you're really not dead."

The strong stench of blood hit him, and Xu Xingmu's voice trembled slightly. He had been desperately killing demons these past few days and dared not stop.

Whenever I stop, the image of Gu Xia being completely silent flashes in my mind.

He was the senior student, but when danger struck, he failed to protect Gu Xia.

Xu Xingmu felt deeply guilty about this and experienced a profound sense of powerlessness for the first time.

But when he saw Gu Xia reappear before him and felt that familiar warmth, all he felt was an indescribable sense of relief.

Thankfully, this is not a dream.

Thankfully, Gu Xia is still alive.

"Second senior brother?"

Gu Xia was stunned for a moment. She could feel hot tears dripping onto her neck, burning and unbearable, as if carrying a feeling of something lost and then regained.

She was unusually touched, but...

"Second Senior Brother, loosen your grip! You're choking me to death!" The strong smell of blood on Xu Xingmu's body almost suffocated Gu Xia.

It's unimaginable how many demonic beasts and demonic cultivators the other side has killed during this period.

Upon hearing this, Xu Xingmu quickly released her, fearing that his newly resurrected junior sister would be accidentally killed by him again.

Before Gu Xia could even catch her breath, she looked up and saw her senior brother appear in front of her in a flash.

Shen Weixun looked down at her, appearing very focused.

Gu Xia was about to sigh that he was indeed as composed as his senior brother, but she inadvertently caught a glimpse of his slightly trembling fingertips out of the corner of her eye, which also revealed that his inner world was not as calm as it appeared.

After confirming that the person in front of him was alive, the young man's tense lips slowly relaxed a little. "Junior Sister, it's good that you're alright."

He didn't ask anything, but after examining Gu Xia and finding that her meridians were intact, he gently said, "It's good that you're alright."

The battlefield below descended into chaos. After conserving their energy along the way, the Ye family cultivators leaped out of their flying magical artifacts and immediately turned their blades toward the demons.

They hadn't forgotten the near-death experience the Ye family had just faced not long ago.

Now that they've finally found an opportunity, they're naturally going to retaliate fiercely.

Thus, the demonic cultivators who had taken advantage of their agility to hide behind the main force of monsters on the battlefield were instantly met with disaster.

The Ye family cultivators were not stupid, of course. They did not provoke those experts above the Nascent Soul stage, but other demons and monsters were not so lucky.

Without any warning, the Ye family cultivators, who were well-prepared in advance, blasted them, causing them to scream in agony.

Upon witnessing this scene, Ye Suian couldn't help but exclaim, "My dad really went all out this time!"

It's likely that all the talismans and magical artifacts that the Ye family can use are here.

Gu Lanyi raised an eyebrow slightly upon hearing this, "Your father?"

Is the Ye family involved here?

Ye Suian's lips curled into a slight smile. "Hmm."

Surprised? There were many more things he hadn't expected.

This involves more than just the Ye family; Gu Lanyi's father has also gotten involved.

He simply didn't know that at the moment.

The group finally had a chance to catch their breath.

Yu Heng's eyes widened like saucers. "Holy crap!"

He was so startled that he almost dropped his sword. He flipped his opponent over and retreated to the vicinity of his fellow disciples. Compared to the two from Taiyi Sect, his attention naturally shifted to the other side.

"Be bold!"

The boy, looking wary, shouted, "Who are you, you monster, daring to impersonate Gu Xia?!"

Believe it or not, I'll expose you back to your original form right now!

After a brief moment of shock, his first thought was that someone actually dared to impersonate Gu Xia.

After all, it's common knowledge in the cultivation world that the other side chose to self-destruct in front of the Taiyi Sect's mountain gate to break the deadlock.

Moreover, they had never heard of anyone surviving a self-destruction before.

So Yu Heng used his clever mind and instantly felt that he had grasped the truth.

No matter where this Gu Xia came from, she definitely isn't real.

The Lingjian Sect members standing nearby all turned their heads in unison, shocked by his commendable courage.

Cen Huan was utterly exasperated with him and tried to remind him, "Why impersonate Gu Xia at this time? Are you afraid of being targeted by those lunatics from the Demon Clan? Junior brother, why don't you think about it again?"

She was the first to react besides the Taiyi Sect members, and her shock was no less than that of the others.

Although she didn't know how Gu Xia did it, she was certain that this person was definitely the real Gu Xia the moment she saw him.

The kind that's genuine.

The others who heard this nodded in agreement, finding it to be very reasonable.

Just as she said, even after Gu Xia died, there was still no peace, with a bunch of demons and monsters outside eyeing her body. If someone were to impersonate Gu Xia at this time, it would be either because they were crazy or had been kicked in the head by a donkey.

However, Yu Heng's thought process was quite unique. While brandishing his sword, he argued logically, "It's not necessarily true, Senior Sister. What if someone is impersonating Gu Xia with ill intentions, trying to trick us and then take the opportunity to wipe us all out?"

The incident involving the Fifth Elder served as a cautionary tale for everyone.

Even Yu Heng, who usually only liked to fight with his sword, started to use his brain, fearing that he would be betrayed by his own teammates again.

Cen Huan: "..."

numb.

How could she put it? Her silly junior brother had finally used his brain once in a while, but he had misused his limited intelligence.

"This is different."

Cen Huan: "Those two are Gu Xia's own senior brothers, do you think they wouldn't recognize her? And those sword spirits and contracted beasts, it's obvious that she is the real Gu Xia!"

She desperately wanted to shake Yu Heng's shoulders frantically, yelling, "Wake up, you idiot!"

This was indeed true. Yu Heng hesitated for a moment, but quickly reaffirmed his belief. "Those fools might have been deceived simply because they were too sad. The elders said that no one could survive a self-destruction."

Cen Huan: "..."

Grass.

At this moment, you remember what the elders said. Why don't you usually have such a good memory?

She couldn't be bothered to care anymore. Anyway, Gu Xia probably wouldn't kill him. Whoever wanted this stupid junior brother could have him.

Yu Heng's sudden shout broke the silence of the scene.

Everyone present was sharp-eared and sharp-eyed, and even from a distance, they could clearly hear the conversation between the two.

A bunch of idiots: "..."

Yu Heng knows how to offend a group of people with a single sentence; no, it should be said that he has offended both humans and non-humans.

Annihilation Sword temporarily abandoned the thoughts in his mind and asked from the bottom of his heart, "This stupid thing... is he also a direct disciple?"

These days, why are the disciples in the cultivation world so stupid and insane?

The next second, these words reached Yu Heng's ears and successfully enraged him.

"Where did this rude sword spirit come from?"

He gripped the hilt of his sword and leaped forward, shouting, "Fuyao, let's go!"

The summoned sword spirit of Fuyou: "..."

He subconsciously glanced at the group of fierce-looking sword spirits.

what?

Are you serious?

He was so fast that even Cen Huan, who was standing to the side, did not expect him to be so reckless, and could only show a hesitant expression.

Rest in peace, junior brother.
