Junior sister took first place again

In the natural chasm, the demon camp is like a dormant giant beast, and its atmosphere is in sharp contrast to the solemnity of the immortal gate.

Although the flames of war were raging like a raging wave, the demons seemed to be strolling leisurely in the garden, even with a hint of contempt in their eyes, as if they were mocking the vulnerable immortal sect.

They seemed to have already been confident about the outcome of the battle. This confidence was as hard as steel, stemming from their absolute trust in the power of the demons and their contempt for the immortal sect.

In the center of the camp, the three city lords - Ji Huan, Lingru and Xian, like three shining stars, sat around a huge round table made of animal bones.

In front of them was a detailed battlefield map. The various symbols and lines on the map were as dense as stars, clearly showing every detail of the battlefield.

However, they did not discuss tactics nervously as if facing a great enemy. Instead, they chatted in a relaxed manner, occasionally letting out a smug laugh, which seemed to be a mockery of the enemy.

Ji Huan's fingers tapped lightly on the tabletop, his eyes revealing a coldness like the moon in the cold night. He said indifferently, "The world has begun to fall into chaos, but this power is still too weak."

The Lord of Four Symbols City, like a lazy lion, slumped in his chair and said lazily, "Why does Lord Ji seem even more anxious than the God? Even before Tianqian City is captured, chaos has already begun to arise in the Floating World. Even if the God heard this, he would be sure to praise Lord Ji's ability."

Ling Ru nodded slightly in agreement. Suddenly, as if she had thought of something interesting, she asked excitedly, "Speaking of which, the natural chasm seems to be related to the fall of the Human Emperor. Since we have nothing else to do now, City Lord Ji, why don't you chat with us and explain the reasons behind it?"

After Ling Ru finished speaking, all the high-level demons who were qualified to sit here turned their eyes to Ji Huan. The Lord of Sixiang City also sat up slightly, obviously wanting to hear the secrets of the past.

Facing the other two city lords and a group of high-level demons, Ji Huan slowly revealed the secrets of the Heavenly Chasm and the Human Emperor.

"The natural chasm was created by the last Human Emperor using his own power to protect the peace of the world."

Ji Huan's voice was deep and powerful, his eyes gleaming with complex light, "It is not only a barrier, but also the protection of the Human Emperor for the ordinary human race."

A group of high-level demons showed an attitude of listening attentively.

Ji Huan's voice was low and slow, as if he had traveled through time and space and returned to that decisive moment: "The Human Emperor's decision was not an impulse, but a victim of the power struggle."

"First of all, the conflict between the four clans has reached a point where it cannot be reconciled."

Ji Huan's eyes revealed a hint of contemplation. "The immortals seek transcendence, the demons yearn for freedom, the devils crave power, and the human race..."

He paused, as if searching for the right words, "The human race only seeks peace."

"As the conflict escalates, the spiritual energy on the continent begins to become chaotic, which is a disaster for ordinary people."

Ji Huan continued, "They don't have the protection of spiritual power and cannot withstand the consequences of the conflict between the four tribes."

Xian suddenly smiled and continued, "However, when our ancestors were alive, the human race's territory once became the leader among the four races."

Ji Huan's face was as calm as still water. He said calmly, "The responsibility of the Human Emperor is like a heavy burden, growing heavier as the territory continues to expand. They shoulder the sacred mission of protecting the entire human race."

He sighed heavily, as if playing a mournful elegy for the lost glory. "However, the human race is ultimately like a candle in the wind, extremely fragile. Even if the Human Emperor possesses power that reaches all corners of the earth, it is difficult for him to protect every one of his people in every bloody war."

"Since the first Human Emperor, successors have been numerous, yet each generation has been inferior to the last." A trace of disdain flashed in Ji Huan's eyes. "Few wielders can unleash the might of the Emperor's Sword to its fullest potential. While there have been a few who shine like meteors, they ultimately couldn't turn the tide."

"It wasn't until the last Human Emperor that he suddenly realized the seriousness of the problem." Ji Huan's voice was like a dawning bell, his eyes gleaming with a complex light. "If we don't take drastic measures to burn our boats, the human race will be like meat on the chopping board, unable to survive the conflict between the four races."

"So, he resolutely made a shocking decision, a heroic act of self-sacrifice to protect the world."

Ji Huan's fingers, like nimble spirits, gently tapped the tabletop. Each tap seemed to play the profound melody of history. "He used his immense power to forge an impenetrable barrier, abruptly separating the floating world from the world of cultivation. Thus, even if threats from other worlds strike like a raging storm, ordinary people can live safely in the safe haven of the floating world."

Lingru and Xian listened attentively to Ji Huan's narration. At this moment, a hint of respect appeared in the eyes of the two demons.

Ling Ru asked softly, "So, City Lord Ji, do you think that by breaking through the natural barriers, we demons can bring the freedom that the world longs for?"

A sneer played on Ji Huan's lips, his eyes revealing a hint of disdain: "Freedom? That's simply a foolish dream! The demons' goal has never been to save the world, but to satisfy their own selfish desires and wanton destruction."

After hearing this, Xian couldn't help but burst into laughter. His voice was like a bell, resounding through the sky. "City Lord Ji is absolutely right. Whether it's attacking the Immortal Sect or disrupting the Floating World, it's all for the demon clan, to destroy the Immortal Sect's rule."

There was a greedy glint in the eyes of the three city lords, like hungry wolves seeing their prey. They knew very well that this war was not only about the glory of the demon clan, but also about rewriting the order of the entire world.

The scene in the Immortal Sect's camp was quite different. The elders and generals sat in the tents like sculptures, with a battlefield map placed in front of them. However, in stark contrast to the demons, their expressions were frosty, their brows were furrowed, as if they were suffocating under the weight of a heavy burden.

In the center of the tent, three True Lords were standing in front of a map, their sharp eyes examining every detail of the battlefield.

Beside them, Cheng Yan, Luo Qinghan, Pei Youzhi, Ye Mu and other young elites of the immortal sect were also nervously discussing countermeasures.

"We must find the reason why the demons are increasing in strength as soon as possible, otherwise our defense line will be unsustainable." Master Lingyun's voice was steady and powerful, and there was a hint of worry in his eyes.

Cheng Yan gripped the Lingye Sword tightly, her eyes determined: "Master, I am willing to lead a team of elite disciples to go deep behind enemy lines and investigate the true situation of the demon clan."

Luo Qinghan's staff gently touched the ground. His voice was a little tired, but still firm: "True Lord, our defensive formation is ready, but we must find an opportunity to counterattack as soon as possible."

Pei Youzhi and Ye Mu also expressed their willingness to fight, with an unyielding light flashing in their eyes.

True Lord Lingyun nodded, his eyes sweeping over every disciple of the Immortal Sect, and then he slowly spoke: "Although the power of the demon clan is strong, the will of our Immortal Sect is even more resolute."

He turned to Cheng Yan, a hint of approval in his eyes: "Cheng Xianjun, your suggestion is very good. We need to understand the movements of the demon clan. But you must be careful. The three city lords of the demon clan are not easy to deal with."

Cheng Yan nodded, her voice filled with determination: "Don't worry, Master. I will be careful and live up to the expectations of the Immortal Sect."

True Lord Lingyun's gaze swept over the young generation elites such as Cheng Yan, Luo Qinghan, Pei Youzhi and Ye Mu one by one. He knew that these disciples were the future of the immortal sect and the key force in resisting the demons.

He pondered for a moment, then spoke slowly, his voice filled with unquestionable determination. "Cheng Xianjun, your proposal is courageous, but going deep behind enemy lines is extremely risky. You must bring your most elite disciples with you, and you must have a thorough plan."

"Lord Luo has profound magical powers. I need you to stay at the front line and maintain our defensive formation to ensure that the demons cannot easily break through."

"Pei Xianjun's tactics are flexible and adaptable. I order you to coordinate the various units, find the demons' weaknesses, and formulate a counterattack plan."

True Lord Lingyun finished speaking in one breath, and finally said: "Ye Mu, you will serve as Cheng Xianjun's deputy to ensure the secrecy of the operation."

Cheng Yan and the others responded in unison: "Yes, sir!"

True Lord Lingyun turned to the other elders and generals and continued his arrangements: "We must remain highly vigilant. The demonic race's increased strength is not without trace. We need more intelligence to formulate countermeasures. At the same time, we must strengthen the protection of the natural moat. This is our last line of defense."

Zhong Yin and Fu Qingshan nodded, and then the three True Lords looked to the other side. In addition to the sect geniuses such as Cheng Yan, there was also a group of elites from various major families, who also shouldered the important task of protecting the world.

Among them, Wei Chen, as a leader of the younger generation of the Wei family, has a place among the younger generation of the aristocratic family with his outstanding talents and strong strength.

Wei Chen stood in a corner of the tent, his eyes fixed on the battlefield map, his brow furrowed, as if he was thinking about something.

Beside him, other members of the Wei family and elites from other families were also nervously discussing the upcoming battle.

"Wei Xianjun, what do you think about this mission?" Lingyun Zhenjun's gaze finally fell on Wei Chen.

Wei Chen pondered for a moment, then spoke, "True Lord, the demon race's increased power is undoubtedly related to the destabilization of the natural barrier. While our family's power isn't as strong as the three major sects, we possess unique expertise in intelligence gathering and covert operations. I am willing to lead the elites of the family alliance to investigate the true cause of the demon race's increased power from a different perspective."

Lingyun Zhenjun nodded, approving of Wei Chen's proposal. "Very good, Wei Xianjun. Your plan can be coordinated with Cheng Xianjun's actions. With one of you acting openly and the other in secret, working together, you will surely reap rewards."

Wei Chen accepted the order, exchanged a glance with Master Lingyun, then turned around and nodded slightly to Cheng Yan, who returned the greeting.

The two sides discussed actions to investigate the appearance of the fragments of the natural moat on the battlefield and the source of the demon power, and they must get some results before the next war.

At the same time, Cheng Yan volunteered to investigate the assassin.

After returning to Tianqian this time, the other party has completely fallen silent. Cheng Yan cannot let this rat continue to spy on Xuanling Sect in secret. Therefore, he must force the other party and give them a chance to attack.

Cheng Yan was definitely not the type to be ignorant of the situation and treat her own safety as a joke. In fact, she had already thought deeply about this and made sufficient preparations for it.

Moreover, as a direct disciple of an Immortal Lord, she always has some unknown life-saving trump cards, so it is not so easy to kill her.

Cheng Yan stood in the tent, her eyes firm and deep, assigning tasks to a group of elite disciples.

She knew the importance of this operation, not only to investigate the fragments of the natural moat and the source of the demonic power, but also for the safety of the Immortal Sect.

"Everyone, our first priority is to investigate why the fragments of the natural chasm appeared on the battlefield, and the real reason why the demons' power increased."

Cheng Yan's voice echoed in the tent, her eyes firm and sharp. "We must get some results before the next battle. This is crucial to our defense."

The disciples nodded in agreement, expressing their confidence in Cheng Yan's leadership. They knew this operation would be fraught with danger, but it was also an opportunity to demonstrate their strength.

At the same time, Wei Chen was also discussing their action plan with the members of the Family Alliance.

They will use their intelligence network and covert operations to investigate the source of the demons' power from the side, while also keeping an eye out for clues about the fragments of the natural chasm.

"We can't just rely on Cheng Yan and the others. The Aristocratic Family Alliance must also demonstrate its strength."

Wei Chen's voice was deep and powerful, his eyes gleaming with determination. "We must play a key role in this war and win glory for the Immortal Sect, for the floating world, and for our family."

The members of the Aristocratic Family Alliance all agreed that this action was not only for the Immortal Sect, but also for their respective families.

They will use their wisdom and courage to contribute to this war.

The night was as dark as ink. Cheng Yan and Wei Chen each led their carefully selected disciples and elites from aristocratic families, quietly moving around the edge of the battlefield.

Cheng Yan, dressed in a black nightgown, loomed in the night like a ghost. The Ling Ye sword had long been sheathed, but its energy still rippled faintly in the night sky, as if ready to be unsheathed and drink blood at any moment.

There was a calm glint in her eyes, and every movement she made revealed her extraordinary temperament as a cultivator in the Spirit Transformation Stage.

Behind her, the elite disciples from various sects followed closely. They were all elites who had been strictly selected, and each of them was proficient in at least one spell or martial art.

Their eyes are determined, ready to deal with any possible danger at any time.

The same was true for the team led by Wei Chen. The two teams acted separately in the dark. Everyone knew that they had to be cautious in their actions and not attract the attention of the demons.

Their goal was to investigate and gather intelligence, not to engage in direct combat with the demons. Of course, if a battle became unavoidable, they were fully prepared.
