Junior sister took first place again

When the Tianqian battlefield fell into a tense standoff, the Tianjue Peak stronghold was finally rebuilt with the joint efforts of the demon clan and the immortal disciples.

Although the defense facilities and buildings have not yet been fully restored to their strongest state, they are enough to withstand the upcoming demon attacks.

This is an important milestone for the Immortal Sect and the Demon Clan. It not only provides a strategic defense point, but also a place for the frontline warriors to rest and replenish supplies.

Zhong Yi and Fu E stood on the wall of the stronghold, gazing at the battlefield in the distance. "Rebuilding the stronghold is just the beginning. The real test lies ahead."

There was a hint of heaviness in Zhong Yi's voice, because the attack of the demons could come at any time.

Fu E nodded and suddenly spoke casually, "Zhong Xianjun has close ties with the Xuanling Sect. Do you know why Xuansu Zhenjun and Li Huan Peak Master both came to Tianjue Peak?"

Fu E had worked with this disciple of the Liuyun Zhong family for a few days and had figured out that Zhong Yi was a straightforward person, and the man and the demon got along quite well.

At the same time, the subtle atmosphere between Master Xuansu and Peak Master Li Huan made him unable to help but look sideways.

Because of Ah Sheng's existence, Fu E couldn't help but care more about the affairs of Xuanling Sect.

Therefore, after Zhong Yi looked over, Fu E bluntly said, "Logically speaking, with True Lord Yuan Xi here, the Abyssal Rift is in even greater need of medical practitioners. At worst, the most in need of manpower is still in the Natural Chasm."

Zhong Yi frowned slightly, his gaze shifted from the distant battlefield to Fu E, a hint of deep thought flashing in his eyes.

Zhong Yi knew that although Fu E seemed easygoing on weekdays, he was actually very thoughtful and was always extremely sensitive to the situation on the battlefield and the dynamics between sects.

"The arrival of True Lord Xuansu and Peak Master Li Huan was indeed somewhat unexpected."

Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, a hint of uncertainty in his voice, "They appeared together at Tianjue Peak this time. I'm afraid that the Xuanling Sect has made some important decision."

Fu E nodded, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. Peak Master Li Huan came here on his own initiative without any transfer order. The power struggle within the Xuanling Sect has been undercurrent, which is likely related to this matter.

The Cangwu Secret Realm will be closed in a few months, and these disturbances will affect Ah Sheng at that time.

"So even Immortal Zhong doesn't know."

Fu E continued, a hint of tentativeness in his voice, "I originally thought that given the relationship between the Zhong family and the Xuanling Sect, you knew the reason."

Zhong Yi frowned slightly. No matter how naive he was, he could hear the temptation in Fu E's words. As a relative of the leader of Xuanling Sect and also the most outstanding disciple of Zhong's generation, he had indeed received a letter from home recently. There had been some turmoil within Xuanling Sect recently, and some people had slandered that Sect Leader Jiyun had entered Xuanling Sect by relying on his family background.

This rumor caused quite a stir within the Xuanling Sect. "Friend Fu E, the situation within the Xuanling Sect is complicated. Although I have heard some things, I don't know the specifics."

Zhong Yi said in a deep voice, a hint of caution in his voice, "Master Jiyun's decision naturally has his considerations. The arrival of Master Xuansu and Master Li Huan is probably related to the sect's strategic deployment."

Fu E nodded. He understood that although Zhong Yi was a relative of the Xuanling Sect's leader, he was also from a noble family and would naturally have some reservations about the sect's internal affairs.

He continued, "I understand the difficulties faced by Zhong Xianjun. However, the alliance between our demon race and the immortal sect has just begun. We need to pay attention to any factors that may affect the war situation."

Zhong Yi nodded in understanding. He knew Fu E's concerns were not unfounded; the Xuanling Sect's movements did have a significant impact on the entire battle situation.

"Friend Fu'e, don't worry, no matter what decision the Immortal Sect makes."

Zhong Yi promised, "Our goal is the same, which is to resist the invasion of the demons and protect our homeland."

Zhong Yi's words revealed his determination and commitment. After hearing this, Fu E's eyes flashed with a gleam. It seemed that something had indeed happened in Xuanling Sect recently.

Fu E nodded slightly and had already made up his mind that when the stronghold was completely built, he would return to Xizhou or Zhongzhou.

At the same time, in a hidden corner of the Tianjue Peak stronghold, Zhenjun Xuansu was alone, holding tightly in his hand a letter that had just been sent through secret means.

He glanced over the letter, his brow furrowed, his face solemn. The contents of the letter made him feel unprecedented pressure.

[From disciple Xuansu:

Our plans are progressing smoothly, but undercurrents are stirring within the sect. Your actions are entirely in line with my wishes. Jiyun's position as Sect Master is in jeopardy, and this is our opportunity to act. You should seize this opportunity to secretly communicate with the demon clan and ensure their support for our plan.

On the front lines, you must strive to stabilize the situation, while also closely monitoring developments within the sect. Report any unusual developments immediately. My Master's safety depends entirely on you, and I hope you will not let me down.

In addition, the intention of Lord Li Huanfeng coming here this time is unclear. I order you to observe it secretly. If there is any unusual movement, you must take immediate action.

You must remember that regarding Cheng Yan's matter, you must not act hastily. Within the sect, there are many spies, so you must patiently wait for the right moment. Wait until Master gives the signal, and then you may proceed. Until then, you must remain calm and not act rashly.

Furthermore, some within the sect have begun to express suspicion about my condition. I, the Master, am forced to return to the sect and continue feigning unconsciousness to conceal my presence. During this period, you must make your own decisions and act with the utmost caution.

If you fail, not only will you be in danger, but you will also bring trouble upon your master. Remember, remember!

Xuan Su Zhenjun burned the letter, his heart filled with contradictions and struggles. He knew that his master's orders must be carried out, but he also did not want to see the internal struggle of the sect affect the war on the front line.

But now the master is eager to win and no longer cares about what price the demons will offer.

Zhenjun Xuansu took a deep breath, stood up, walked out of the secret room, and prepared to find Peak Master Li Huan to secretly observe her every move.

This war is now not just a battle against the demons, but also a continuation of the power struggle within the sect. He must remain vigilant to ensure that any internal turmoil does not affect the master's plan.

On the city wall, Zhong Yi and Fu E's conversation continued. They discussed how to strengthen the defense of the stronghold and how to maximize their combat effectiveness in the upcoming battle.

They all knew that victory in this war required the joint efforts of every soldier.

Fu E's gaze inadvertently swept across the figure of Master Xuansu. He frowned slightly, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

Xuansu Zhenjun's behavior has become increasingly mysterious recently, and he couldn't help but begin to wonder whether this Zhenjun was planning something in secret.

Zhong Yi noticed Fu E's gaze and turned to look in the direction where Master Xuansu left. A complex emotion flashed in his eyes.

Zhong Yi's gaze lingered on Xuan Su Zhenjun's departing figure for a moment, then he turned back and nodded to Fu E, indicating that they should continue to focus on the task at hand. Although Fu E had doubts in his heart, he also understood that now was not the time to delve into it; they had more important tasks to complete.

In the shadow of the Tianjue Peak stronghold, Peak Master Li Huan was alone, her eyes piercing through the night, as if she was looking for something.

Her heart was filled with doubts and anxieties. She was still skeptical about the news that Senior Brother Zishuang had confirmed that Immortal Master Mengze was still in a coma.

Master Li Huanfeng felt that there were indeed too many coincidences and sensed that something was fishy.

"Peak Master, you seem to be worried about something." A trusted disciple came to report something and asked softly, breaking Peak Master Li Huan's contemplation.

Peak Master Li Huan withdrew his gaze and sighed softly, "I've always felt there must be something hidden behind the unusual movements of the former Great Elder's lineage."

The disciple frowned, "But, the Sect Master has confirmed that the Immortal Venerable is in a coma, and..."

Peak Master Li Huan waved his hand, interrupting his disciple. "I know. But for so many years, that Immortal Venerable has always been the most astute person in the sect. And with the Dragon Scale Yuan Gathering Pill being taken away..."

She paused, a sharp glint in her eyes. "Also, I've heard some rumors recently that the demons seem to be deliberately stirring up trouble. This makes me suspicious."

The disciples exchanged worried glances. They knew that Peak Master Li Huan's intuition was always accurate. If she had any doubts, then things might really be complicated.

"Peak Master, what should we do then?" another disciple asked, a hint of anxiety in his voice. Peak Master Li Huan pondered for a moment, then slowly said, "You all must remain vigilant and be prepared for any emergency. I will continue to observe True Monarch Xuansu's future movements."

Peak Master Li Huan's gaze swept over the disciples one by one, her voice filled with unquestionable determination: "We must remain sober and not be deceived by appearances. The relationship between True Monarch Xuansu and Immortal Venerable Mengze is extraordinary. If Immortal Venerable Mengze truly wakes up, sooner or later someone will reveal their true intentions."

The disciples nodded one after another. "Peak Master, we will pay close attention to the actions of the disciples who followed Master Xuansu this time. If there is anything unusual, we will report it to you immediately." A disciple said solemnly.

Master Li Huanfeng nodded and continued to ponder in the shadows.

The prophecy of the Xingchen Sect and recent events have shown that this war is not just a battle against the demons, but also an opportunity to purge those with ulterior motives within the sect.

She had to remain vigilant and ensure that any internal unrest would not affect their overall fight against the demons.

At the same time, on the other side of the Tianjue Peak stronghold, True Lord Xuansu was standing alone on a high platform, his eyes looking into the distance, as if waiting for something.

In his hand, he still held the embers of the letter he had just burned. He knew that his master's plan had reached a critical moment, and as his master's most trusted disciple, he had to ensure that everything went according to plan.

Master Xuansu took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes.

The appearance of Peak Master Li Huan might become an obstacle for them, but he also knew that as long as they could successfully control the situation, Peak Master Li Huan's suspicion would no longer be a concern.

On the other side, in the medical area of the Tianjue Peak stronghold, True Lord Yuan Xi was instructing his disciples on how to use the newly arrived medicinal herbs and healing spells.

Their movements were swift and orderly, and everyone was aware that the number of casualties would continue to increase as the battle continued.

"We must do everything we can to save every soldier."

Yuan Xi Zhenjun's voice was firm and powerful. His eyes revealed a hint of worry, but more of determination. "They fight for us, and we must provide them with the strongest support."

The medical practitioners and alchemy practitioners nodded seriously, their actions revealing their trust in Master Yuan Xi and their serious attitude towards the upcoming battle.

Everyone was busy preparing medical equipment and medicines to ensure that the wounded could be treated quickly and effectively during the battle.

Not far away, King Zebei led a group of demons to gather together like stars surrounding the moon. Their eyes were like hawks, and they cast them at the busy disciples of the immortal sect from time to time.

Although the two sides are now in a cooperative relationship, there is always a thin gauze between the demon clan and the immortal gate, and they always maintain a certain distance and vigilance.

King Zebei knew very well that the Immortal Sect and the Demon Clan were like two fish swimming in the same sea, each with its own plans and goals. The alliance between them was like a castle built on the beach, seemingly solid but actually fragile and complicated.

"Our allies are busy, and we must also be on high alert." King Zebei's voice was low, as if coming from the valley. His eyes were like cold lightning, sweeping across the demon warriors one by one.

A demon warrior stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "What are your orders, Your Majesty? The people from the Immortal Sect seem to be wary of us."

King Zebei's gaze, like a knife, slashed across the faces of the demon warriors one by one. He chuckled softly, a hint of mockery in his voice. "Our allies, like frightened birds, are wary of both the demons and us. They're always treading on thin ice, aren't they?"

King Zebei said slowly, "They don't trust us, and aren't we suspicious of them too? This alliance is just a temporary measure, and everyone knows it."

He paused briefly before continuing, "However, since we are allies now, we must act like allies. We must be perfect, leaving them without a single flaw, unable to find any grounds to accuse us."

"Go, be prepared for battle at any time," ordered King Zebei.

The demon warriors dispersed like a tide. They began to check their equipment. Some of them built an iron wall of defense around the medical area and set up traps and alarms like a dragnet to ensure that they could quickly counterattack when the demons attacked, while also guarding against possible changes in the immortal gate.

True Lord Yuanxi gazed at King Zebei and his demon warriors, taking in their every move. Although both sides were currently cooperating, the demons' trust in the immortal sect was clearly not absolute. The mutual testing and vigilance between them was as subtle as a thin veil.

True Lord Yuanxi walked in front of King Zebei, his lips curled up slightly, revealing a smile as calm as the warm winter sun. He spoke slowly, "King Zebei, my disciples are working tirelessly to gather medical supplies, ensuring timely treatment for the wounded during the fierce battle. If you need anything, we will do our utmost to provide assistance. After all, at this moment, we are allies in this together."

King Zebei nodded and responded sincerely and politely, "Thank you for your kindness, Master. The demon tribe will do its utmost to protect the safety of your sect's medical practitioners and alchemists during the battle."

"After all, we have the same goal, don't we? Even though we've always worked on our own, now that we've formed an alliance, we'll naturally go all out and do our part."

Yuan Xi Zhenjun smiled faintly, a barely perceptible hint of coldness in his tone: "Indeed, King Zebei. At this moment, our interests are indeed aligned. However, you also understand that the battlefield situation is unpredictable. Although the demons are brave and fearless, they are not indestructible and invincible."

A sharp light like a sword flashed in King Zebei's eyes. He naturally understood the profound meaning of Master Yuanxi's words.

He replied gravely, "True Lord, you are absolutely right. On the battlefield, there are countless changes. Although we demons are not afraid of life and death, we are not invulnerable to swords and guns."

"We have formed an alliance today, and we must give it our all. May our cooperation be successful, at least in the battle against the demons."

Then, he changed the subject, "However, True Lord, you should know that the loyalty of the demon race has always been only given to the strong, so there is no need to worry about us."

Yuan Xi Zhenjun's eyes grew darker, like the still water of a deep pool. "Well, then, Your Majesty, please do as you please. I will go ahead."

King Zebei smiled faintly. His silver-gray pupils always looked like they were locking onto prey, which was chilling. "Please do as you please, True Lord."
