Junior sister took first place again

At the stronghold, with Lingru's departure, the situation on the battlefield changed drastically.

The arrival of the immortal sect reinforcements led by Yuan Xi Zhenjun and Zhong Yi once again injected new vitality into the guards.

With the strongest assistance from Master Yuan Xi and the sword energy from Zhong Yi, the offensive of the demons was effectively contained. The morale of the cultivators from the Immortal Sect was greatly boosted, and they began to launch a counterattack.

Although the leader of the demons was powerful, he gradually felt overwhelmed by the combined forces of the Lord of Zebei, Yiye and Zhong Yi.

He swept his eyes across the battlefield, realizing that today's battle could no longer secure a decisive victory. He roared, ordering the demons to retreat.

The Immortal Sect and the Demon Clan did not pursue, but only cleaned up the remaining demons. The battle finally subsided temporarily, and although the stronghold was severely damaged, it was finally held.

Zhenjun Yuanxi and Zhong Yi stood on the ruins of the stronghold, looking at the broken walls and ruins around them, their hearts filled with complicated emotions.

Everyone knows that this is only a temporary victory. The demons will not give up. They must rebuild their stronghold as soon as possible and prepare for the next attack.

The person in charge of the stronghold was from the Tianhe Yun family. Yun Chu was seriously injured in the battle, but he still insisted on getting up and expressing his gratitude to Yuan Xi Zhenjun, Zhong Yi and others.

Though frail, her eyes shone with determination, and her voice was filled with gratitude. "True Lord Yuanxi, Immortal Lord Zhongyi, and all the other fellow demons who came to support us, Yunchu would like to express her gratitude."

She bowed slightly, and despite the pain in her body, her tone revealed unquestionable determination and gratitude.

The group of monsters headed by the Lord of Zebei have now transformed into human form and sat on one side. They either nodded or nodded slightly to Yun Chu's words, but did not speak a word.

Yuan Xi Zhenjun quickly used his spiritual power to stop Yun Chu and said, "Yun Xianjun, you are seriously injured and have not recovered yet, so it is not appropriate for you to move too much. We are just doing our duty, no need to be polite."

Yun Chu nodded, then her gaze fell on Master Yuanxi and asked, "Master, you are the most important medical practitioner on the front lines. Why did you come here in person to support us?"

Yuan Xi Zhenjun smiled slightly and explained, "Thanks to the timely intelligence sent by Master, the battle situation on the front line is good, so we can spare some manpower to come to support us."

A hint of surprise flashed across Yun Chu's eyes. "So this is the information from Immortal Master Shu Yin. Then we must not let him down."

Yun Chu's tone was filled with respect. "I will rebuild the stronghold as soon as possible, strengthen the defense, and not give the demons any chance to take advantage."

Just as he finished speaking, the Demon King, who had been silent the entire time, suddenly spoke up. "The Immortal Clan has just dispatched a group of troops to the Heavenly Chasm. I'm afraid Yun Xianjun's manpower isn't enough. Tianjue Peak is the Immortal Clan's stronghold, so we can't be careless. The demon warriors will assist Yun Xianjun in rebuilding the stronghold as quickly as possible."

"Ahem... Yun Chu is already deeply grateful for the support from His Majesty and the other great demons. I will not trouble Your Majesty to worry about rebuilding the stronghold."

Yun Chu spoke with some difficulty. King Zebei narrowed his eyes and looked at her with a half-smile. "Immortal Yun, please wait until you have seen the number of casualties among the Immortal Sect before you speak."

Those silver-gray vertical pupils kept shrinking and shrinking, and it was particularly creepy when he kept staring at them.

Yun Chu clenched his fists, and Yuan Xi Zhenjun took over the conversation, "Your Majesty, we appreciate your kindness. We are already preparing the materials and manpower to rebuild the stronghold."

"Are you still preparing? I'm really disappointed with the efficiency of that immortal sect. If we hadn't arrived earlier, by the time Yuan Xi Zhenjun and the others arrived, this place would probably have been occupied by those demons."

“. . . . . . . . . . .”

Yun Chu and other people from the Immortal Sect were all silent. Zhong Yi wanted to say something, but after looking at Yuan Xi Zhenjun and Yun Chu, he still didn't open his mouth.

Just then, someone outside the tent lifted the curtain and walked in.

"King Zebei, True Lord Yuanxi, Commander Yun."

Fu E first greeted his superiors before explaining his purpose. "Supplies and manpower for rebuilding the Tianjue Peak stronghold have arrived."

Yun Chu and Yuan Xi Zhenjun exchanged a glance, sighed helplessly, and said to King Zebei with a forced smile, "In that case, thank you very much, Your Majesty, and all the fellow demons for your help."

The Lord of Zebi nodded generously, "This time, the demon tribe sent by King Chongqiu will help with the construction. Within ten days, they will hand over an exceptionally solid stronghold to the Immortal Sect."

Yun Chu smiled bitterly in her heart. She certainly believed in the Wing Clan's construction capabilities and that they could rebuild their stronghold within ten days. However, by then, Tianjue Peak would no longer be a stronghold belonging exclusively to the Immortal Sect.

Yuan Xi Zhenjun also frowned secretly, but at the moment there was really no way to refuse the "good intentions" of the demon race.

Zhong Yi, however, did not think so much about it. Compared with the decentralization of the demon clan in the future, Zhong Yi still believed that it was more important to restore the stronghold as quickly as possible at the moment.

Therefore, he put away his sword and went out with Fu E to inspect the damage to the stronghold with the new Wing Clan members and professional disciples so that they could participate in the subsequent reconstruction plan.

In the Cangwu Secret Realm, He Ling sat cross-legged on a flat rock, having just absorbed the new power.

She opened her eyes, clapped her hands, and stood up from the stone. She wasn't in a hurry to leave, but instead asked, "Why are there so many sneaky disciples in the Jindan realm these past few days? They seem to be looking for someone."

The inner demon replied in her sea of consciousness: "Yes, you are becoming more and more perceptive."

He Ling looked at her hands and smiled. She herself was a ghost walking in the dark, so how could she not notice the abnormality of these people?

A dark light flashed in her eyes, and she whispered, "They are all disciples of Xuanling Sect. Did something happen to Xuanling Sect?"

"I don't know. Don't focus on these things. Improve your cultivation and become someone who is useful to the Divine Lord. Then, you will easily understand these things."

The inner demon answered He Ling very coldly.

He Ling was silent for a moment, put on a friendly smile, and returned to the team she had joined earlier.

In a luxurious room, Master Xuansu's rage was like a volcano about to erupt. His subordinates stood before him, each with their heads lowered, not daring to look directly at his angry expression.

"A bunch of trash!" True Lord Xuansu's voice echoed in the stone chamber. His gaze was like a knife, sweeping over everyone. "You can't even find someone in the Jindan realm. How dare you stand here?"

The subordinates were silent for a moment. After a moment, a braver disciple finally mustered up the courage, stepped forward, and said in a trembling voice, "Elder, we...we are not incompetent, it's just... "

"Just what?" Master Xuansu's rage became even more intense, and an oppressive aura emanated from his entire body.

The subordinate took a deep breath and said, "It's just that Ning Xian... Jia Sheng... she's no longer at the Jindan stage. The Yuanying area is filled with experts and the area is vast. It will be difficult for us to find her in a short time."

Xuan Su Zhenjun was stunned, his anger instantly replaced by confusion and shock: "What did you say? Didn't she just form a core not long ago!?"

Another subordinate quickly added, "True Lord, Ning Jiasheng has already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage in the Cangwu Secret Realm. This is already known to the world, but you have been busy with important matters before, so I'm afraid you didn't notice this news."

Master Xuansu's face turned pale in an instant and he felt dizzy.

He was busy planning his escape in the abyss before, and after leaving, he acted cautiously to take the Dragon Scale Yuan Dan, and actually overlooked such important information.

Ning Jiasheng advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, which meant that her strength had far exceeded his expectations, and the original plan might need to be readjusted.

He closed his eyes and took a deep breath, trying to calm the shock and anger in his heart. When he opened his eyes again, the anger in his eyes had been replaced by calmness.

"All of you retreat." Xuansu Zhenjun's voice was low. He needed time to digest the news and reconsider his countermeasures.

The subordinates left the room, relieved. Xuansu Zhenjun remained alone in the stone chamber, his heart filled with mixed emotions.

He knew that this news must be reported to Immortal Master Mengze immediately, and they must re-evaluate Ning Jiasheng's strength and her impact on the entire plan.

The person who was originally thought to be easy to deal with has now become a threat that cannot be ignored.

Xuansu Zhenjun was alone in the room, and the shock and anger in his heart were gradually replaced by calm thinking.

He pondered for a long time, and finally decided to personally enter the Cangwu Secret Realm and find Ning Jiasheng as quickly as possible. He needed to personally confirm Ning Jiasheng's strength, and... personally take action...

However, just as he was about to take action, he suddenly remembered that there was an Unparalleled Immortal Venerable in Xizhou. If he approached the Cangwu Secret Realm in the same way as he had previously gone to the Bishui Sect, he would definitely be noticed and attacked by the Unparalleled Immortal Venerable.

But if he had gone through it honestly, how could he explain his leaving the abyss without saying goodbye?

Zhenjun Xuansu was caught in a dilemma for a moment, and finally waved his sleeves angrily and flew towards the place where Xianzun Mengze was cultivating.

Immortal Master Mengze was still in the stone chamber in the valley when he sensed the presence of True Lord Xuansu. He opened his eyes, his lips curled slightly as he said, "It's done..."

Before he could finish his words, he saw Master Xuansu's anxious expression and sensed his tangled emotions. The smile on his lips gradually disappeared, and he looked at his disciple with a serious gaze.

Master Xuansu took a deep breath, made some hand gestures, and quickly told the story of Ning Jiasheng.

"A man in his twenties at the Nascent Soul stage...!?"

Immortal Meng Ze chewed over these words again, and there was a strange and indescribable murderous intent in his tone.

Zhenjun Xuansu lowered his body even lower. Since his master, Immortal Master Mengze, woke up this time, he felt that he had become much more unfamiliar.

"Mu Xin, are you kidding me?"

After a while, Immortal Master Mengze suddenly called out the full name of True Lord Xuansu. At the same time, the enormous pressure made him kneel on the ground.

Xuan Su Zhenjun knelt respectfully and said, "Disciple dare not, please Master, please understand."

"The Cangwu Secret Realm is now heavily defended. Assassinating Ning Jiasheng is a hundred times more difficult than killing Cheng Yan."

Immortal Master Mengze did not say anything, but his pressure was as real as substance, making it almost impossible for Mu Xin to breathe.

"Master, I know I was wrong." Mu Xin's voice was low and trembling. "I did underestimate Ning Jiasheng's strength, but please believe me, Master, I have no intention of playing tricks on you." Immortal Master Mengze's face was still gloomy, and his eyes pierced Mu Xin's body like ice cones, making him feel a bit cold.

"Mu Xin, you have followed me for many years. You know my trust and expectations of you better than anyone else." Immortal Master Meng Ze's voice was low and powerful. "But now, your mistake has put our plan in trouble."

Xuan Su Zhenjun lowered his head even more, knowing that his mistake could have disastrous consequences for the entire plan. "Master, I am willing to bear all consequences. I only ask that you give me one more chance to make up for this mistake."

A sinister glint flashed in Immortal Master Mengze's eyes. He withdrew his imposing aura and said coldly, "Get up, Xuansu. Tell me how you plan to deal with this situation."

Xuansu Zhenjun slowly stood up, his heart filled with gratitude. He knew that although his master was strict, he had not completely lost his trust in him.

He pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "Since Ning Jiasheng has advanced to the Nascent Soul stage, her strength should not be underestimated. We can no longer attack her; we must change our strategy."

"As for Cheng Yan—I've got it!" Xuan Su Zhenjun's eyes flashed, "There's someone very close to Cheng Yan, and if he takes action, we won't be suspected."

"Oh?" Immortal Master Mengze raised his eyebrows and looked at him.

Xuan Su Zhenjun had a sinister smile on his face and slowly said, "Wei Chen, like Cheng Yan, comes from an aristocratic family!"

Immortal Master Mengze raised his eyebrows slightly, and his gaze lingered on True Lord Xuansu's face for a moment, as if weighing the feasibility of this proposal.

The Dongzhou Wei family, as an aristocratic family, indeed has nothing to do with the Xuanling Sect.

But in this complex world of cultivation, the positions between sects and families are often unpredictable, and today's allies may be tomorrow's enemies.

"Wei Chen?" Immortal Master Meng Ze pondered, "Are you sure he can be our pawn?" True Lord Xuan Su nodded, a hint of sarcasm flashing in his eyes. "The Wei family has expanded rapidly in recent years. From what I know, the Wei and Ji families seem to have secret ties with Jizhou, and their positions are now questionable."

"Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha!"

Immortal Master Mengze suddenly burst into laughter. "It seems that I have woken up at the perfect time. The world is in turmoil right now. Why not just take the Xuanling Sect's territory?"

"Go, Xuansu, take this last great gift from Mingshi Tianmo and go meet the people from the Wei family."

True Lord Xuansu bowed respectfully and said, "Disciple, I understand and will act with caution." Immortal Lord Mengze's gaze became deep again. He knew that every step of this game had to be carefully planned, and any small mistake could lead to a complete loss.

He took a deep breath, then slowly said, "Remember, our target isn't just Cheng Yan, but the entire world. We must find an opportunity in this chaos to defeat our enemies in one fell swoop."

Xuansu Zhenjun accepted the order and turned to leave the stone chamber. He knew that every step forward would be filled with danger and challenges, but he also knew that only success could preserve his and Mengze Xianzun's positions and plans.

His figure disappeared in the night outside the stone chamber, and Immortal Master Mengze closed his eyes again. He had already begun planning a more far-reaching layout in his mind.
