Longevity: Start by practicing the ruthless way

Not only Chen Sheng, this time, all the inner disciples of Heming Sect will also go to the border to participate in the war. Most of them have only reached the tenth level of Qi training and have not reached perfection.

They also wanted to do their part for the Qian Kingdom and the sect, and with the determination to die, they took the initiative to ask for orders from Sect Master Yang Ming.

Even though Sect Master Yang Ming sternly refused, these inner disciples were adamant and said bluntly that if they were not allowed to go with them, they would just fly to the border on their own, as it was only a four or five day journey anyway.

Everyone knows that once they leave, they may never come back, but each of them has a look of determination on their face, and they have something they want to protect in their hearts.

"Keep an eye on the Heming Sect and wait for us to come back."

Le Huaxin smiled brilliantly, patted Gu Chi on the shoulder, and followed Sect Master Yang Ming onto the sect's flying boat.

As soon as they left, the Heming Sect suddenly became much quieter, and the people who took up high-level positions were once again replaced by a group of new people.

In the days that followed, Gu Chi had more things to deal with every day. Not only did he have to manage the spiritual medicine garden, but he also had to devote some time to handling all matters big and small within the sect.

Because these newly appointed elders and hall masters are all newcomers, they need a transition period of adaptation and familiarity with the change of identities. They cannot make up their minds about many things and need to find the sect leader Gu Chi to discuss things.

But the good thing is that after taking the position of sect leader, she also has the right to enter the Sutra Library and read various books and documents.

For the next whole year, Gu Chi even cut down on his sleeping and resting time. After finishing his government affairs every day, he would go to the Sutra Library to read various books and documents. In the evening, he would return to the Spiritual Medicine Garden and give the various contents he had copied in the Sutra Library to the big black dog to read, which also added a lot of experience and knowledge reserves to it.

Gradually, this group of newly appointed elders and hall masters also learned how to handle government affairs and were able to manage all the big and small affairs of their respective halls. The pressure on Gu Chi was suddenly reduced a lot, and he became a hands-off boss.

In the blink of an eye, another five years have passed.

On this day, a young woman in a light blue dress walked into the Sutra Library.

Five years have passed. The lively and lovely little senior sister has now grown into a graceful young lady with a mature charm.

"Master, what have you thought about what I told you yesterday?"

Gu Chi put down the book in his hand, glanced at Liu Qingyun, and said two words lightly: "No."

"Why? Five years ago, you said that as long as I could manage the Qinglong Hall well, you would allow me to go to the border. Now I have arranged all the affairs of the Qinglong Hall, and it can operate normally even without me. Why not?!" Liu Qingyun almost roared, trying hard to suppress the emotions in his heart.

Gu Chi looked at her and said, "There's no reason. I'm the leader of the Heming Sect now, so if I say no, it's no."

Liu Qingyun took two steps at a time, slammed his hands on the table, tears in his eyes, and said, "Don't forget, you haven't been given a surname yet. Your surname is still Gu, not Yang, and you are just acting as the leader! And don't forget one more thing. Although you are now the leader, if we talk about seniority, you still have to call me Senior Sister!"

Gu Chi was unmoved and said, "You don't need to worry about the border affairs. What you need to do is to manage the Qinglong Hall well."

Over the years, she has been paying close attention to the war situation at the border. Even though the ten major immortal sects of Qian Kingdom have all joined the war, the situation is still not optimistic. Even 154 Jindan-stage powerhouses have fallen, and there are also many foundation-building stage powerhouses who died in the battle.

If she sent Liu Qingyun to such a cruel and tragic battlefield, she would undoubtedly be sending him to his death.

Just when Liu Qingyun was about to argue, dozens of familiar auras suddenly came from above Heming Sect.

Both of them changed their expressions, looked at each other, and immediately rushed out of the Sutra Library.

However, when they hurried to the gate of Heming Sect, they only saw a few young men and women covered in blood.

Du Yu's left hand was broken, his forehead bone was cracked, and his entire face was covered in dried blood, looking extremely terrifying.

The flesh and blood on Chen Sheng's limbs were all shattered and twisted, and the blurred flesh and blood were stuck to the white bones. There were many cracks on his forehead bone, and blood was still flowing out. He was dying and was carried on Du Yu's back.

Le Huaxin's hair was disheveled, and there was a bloody hole on her chest that was transparent from front to back. It was caused by someone piercing it with a sharp claw, and it was only an inch away from her heart.

Behind them were dozens of young men and women who were also seriously injured and nearly dying.

"The Heming Sect must retreat... three thousand miles!"

Du Yu carried Chen Sheng, who was only breathing his last breath, on his back and walked to Gu Chi with heavy steps. He gritted his teeth and said these words with difficulty.

"Senior Brother Du Yu, how are you...where are the others?" Gu Chi's voice trembled a little.

In response to her question, Du Yu said in a somewhat hoarse voice, "For some reason, the Jiuli Dynasty suddenly gained hundreds of powerful Jindan-stage masters, and even three Yuanying ancestors!"

"Master Yangshan, along with all the elders and hall masters, have all died in battle! They fell on Mangdang Mountain!"

They worked together to kill a prince of the Jiuli Dynasty, but were met with crazy revenge from the Jiuli Dynasty and were almost surrounded and killed. It was Sect Leader Yang Ming who arrived in time and bought them time to escape at the cost of self-destruction.

"The border of the Qian Kingdom has been lost! The two thousand miles of territory behind the border has been divided into the territory of the Jiuli Dynasty..."

Listening to the news one after another, Gu Chi was shocked and speechless. Weren't they told that the ten major sects had already joined the war? How could the border be breached so quickly?

"What about my dad?!" Liu Qingyun grabbed Du Yu's collar and asked anxiously, "How is my dad?!"

"Hall Master Liu and Sect Master Yangshan also perished in Mangdang Mountain..."

"Where is the body? Where is my father's body! Why don't you bring his body back!" Liu Qingyun lost control of his emotions, grabbed Du Yu's collar, and asked almost in a roar, tears streaming down his face.

Du Yu was silent, not knowing how to answer.

"Senior Sister Liu, calm down!" Gu Chi pulled Liu Qingyun back with force.

"How can I stay calm!" Liu Qingyun pulled her hand away and pointed at Du Yu, saying, "He was evacuated from the border. Ask him how the Jiuli Dynasty treated the bodies of our Qian Kingdom cultivators! Ask him, he'll definitely know!"

Seeing Gu Chi's gaze, Du Yu took a deep breath and answered truthfully: "Use the blood sacrifice method to refine the complete corpse into a walking corpse puppet."

"What?!" Gu Chi's pupils suddenly shrank. She originally thought that Liu Qingyun lost control of his emotions because he could not accept the fact that his adoptive father's body was exposed in the wilderness. However, she did not expect that the Jiuli Dynasty would not even let go of the corpses of those who had died in the battle. They would use the method of blood sacrifice to refine the corpses of the strong men who died in the battle of Qian Kingdom into zombie puppets for their own use.
