My Optimized Immortal Life

Wanren City, Tianxianfang.

Yan Qingyan stood with her hands behind her back, looking at the ten slim and charming female cultivators in front of her with a serious expression.

"Tonight's action is of great importance and may even affect the sect's deployment at the border. Therefore, only success is allowed, failure is not allowed."

"Yes!"

The ten female cultivators said in unison.

Seeing this, Yan Qingyan nodded and let them leave.

And she spoke to the person beside her.

"Senior Sister Li, I wonder if the sect has any other instructions."

As soon as she finished speaking, a petite figure appeared beside Yan Qingyan. It was Li Yubing.

She smiled, put her hands on Yan Qingyan's waist, and whispered.

"My sister and I haven't seen each other for a long time. Now is the time to catch up. We can talk about the sect's affairs later."

Yan Qingyan suddenly grabbed Li Yubing's hands, her tone calm.

"Sister, you came here for a very important matter, yet you're still in the mood to play around with me. If Master finds out, I wonder what will happen."

Li Yubing narrowed his eyes upon hearing this.

"Junior sister really takes care of me. She lives in seclusion in Wanren City and cultivates hard, leaving me to accept Master's orders alone, constantly going in and out of the border battlefield. She really deserves to be my good junior sister."

Yan Qingyan distanced herself from Li Yubing, walked aside, and looked at her with undisguised disgust in her eyes.

Li Yubing smiled upon seeing this.

"Since Junior Sister doesn't want to talk to Senior Sister, then Senior Sister can only talk about business."

"This attack on Wanren City was Master's idea. The border battlefield has reached a stalemate, and we can only win by surprise. If we can capture Wanren City, we can open a gap behind the border. Then, by encircling them from both inside and outside, we can break through the defenses of the four sects in one fell swoop and completely control the territory of Song State. Only then can we look for the clues left by that venerable master."

After listening to this, Yan Qingyan asked again.

"What should we do with True Man Chi Yan and the two remaining late Jindan cultivators from the Lieyang Sect?"

Li Yubing heard this and spoke.

"The sect has already provided support for six late Jindan cultivators. With the addition of you and me, it won't be a problem to capture the top leaders of the Lieyang Sect."

After saying that, Li Yubing turned around and left without even looking at Yan Qingyan.

Yan Qingyan stood where she was and took a deep breath.

There was fierce competition within the Demon Sect. She and Li Yubing were both candidates for the position of Saint of the Demon Sect. In order to compete for the position of Saint, she specifically inquired about Li Yubing and heard about the many good deeds done by this Senior Sister Li. She had a very bad impression of her. However, after she came into contact with Li Yubing, she understood more and more why Li Yubing was privately known as the Little Witch in the sect.

Given Li Yubing's personality, she will definitely target me in this operation. It would be best if she could get rid of me, thereby establishing her position as the Saint in one fell swoop.

So I will definitely face a life-and-death crisis this time, but there is no other way. The master’s order cannot be disobeyed, so I can only find a way to protect myself.

Yan Qingyan knew very well that although her qualifications were comparable to Li Yubing's, their talents in other aspects were very different. Li Yubing was far more talented than her in both cultivation and fighting. Compared with Li Yubing, she was at a great disadvantage, but she did not want to give up her position as the Saint, so she could only borrow strength from other places.

Day two.

A piece of news reached Chen Qing's ears at an extremely fast speed, making his expression suddenly ugly.

"Wanren City was attacked by demonic cultivators. True Man Chiyan fled with serious injuries. The Lieyang Sect was destroyed, and countless cultivators in the city were killed or wounded. Wanren City was also occupied by demonic cultivators. At the same time, many demonic cultivators emerged from the Wanren Mountains and attacked various places."

Seeing this news, even Chen Qing couldn't sit still.

Wanren City is the first line of defense facing the Wanren Mountains. Now that it has been breached by the demonic monks, it means that they are in danger of being attacked from both sides. If they unite inside and outside to breach the border defense line, even if the four sects use all their strength, they will not be able to save the situation.

How could this be?

Chen Qing was extremely puzzled.

After Wanren City was rebuilt, with the Lieyang Sect stationed there, its defense strength was several times greater than before. Why would the Demon Sect choose to attack under such circumstances? What was even more terrifying was that they actually broke through Wanren City, and even the Lieyang Sect was destroyed. In this way, the situation in the Song State was broken.

Chen Qing knew very well that when it came to high-end power, the four righteous sects were inferior to the two evil sects, whether it was the Jindan or Yuanying cultivators.

The magic technique focuses on quick success and is extremely powerful. Without a restraining magic weapon, the four sects' Jindan cultivators are most likely no match for it. The fire magic weapon produced by Lieyang Sect is one of the magic weapons that can restrain the magic technique. Now that Lieyang Sect has been destroyed, if Tianyuan Sect, Taixuan Sect, and Baihua Pavilion are the only ones left, if they cannot retake Wanren City, they will find it difficult to resist the next invasion of the magic technique.

Chen Qing sighed.

Obviously, the situation in Song State where there was one Yuanying and three Jiedan forces is gone forever.

Under the rule of the Demonic Path, no other independent cultivators are allowed except the cultivators of the sect. Therefore, even if Chen Qing wanted to stay in Song, it would probably not be possible.

Now, we can only hope that the three sects can be more powerful and successfully repel the evil monks stationed in Wanren City.

Chen Qing thought so.

In the next few days, through the news sent by Chu Xiu and others, Chen Qing learned that the three sects reacted extremely quickly. After Wanren City was broken, they had already sent their own cultivators to try to retake Wanren City.

Unfortunately, there are also many demon cultivators stationed in Wanren City.

The two sides engaged in a fierce battle around Wanren City, which was earth-shaking. The aftermath flattened several hills and turned the surrounding woodlands into ruins.

Even so, the two sides only fought to a draw, and neither could do anything to the other. In the end, the righteous monks had to retreat and give up Wanren City.

What a disaster.

Chen Qing stayed in Qinggu, relying only on Chu Xiu and the others to get a glimpse of the current situation.

However, anyone with a discerning eye can see that the three righteous sects are now at a disadvantage. If they don't have any trump cards, they can only wait to be defeated one by one.

At the same time, Chu Xiu and the others were also asking Chen Qing how Xutian Palace would respond if the demons occupied their place.

Upon hearing this, Chen Qing thought for a moment and then asked Zhu Chiting to tell Chu Xiu and the others about the news that the Three Island Alliance had settled in the Great Wilderness.

After learning about this, Chu Xiu and others were greatly shocked. They had not expected that the Three Islands Alliance would actually settle down in the Great Wilderness Swamp and even have the spare capacity to expand to the surrounding areas.

However, this is also their opportunity. If the Song Dynasty really falls, they can still escape into the Great Wilderness Swamp and ask for the protection of Linghua Zhenren.

This is what Chu Xiu and others thought. Although they are independent cultivators, they have families to support. Without protection, they can only become food for the demons and have no power to resist.

Xutian Palace is just a branch stationed here. Apart from the deputy envoy Chen Qing who is at the Jindan stage, the other member of the palace they came into contact with is Zhu Chiting.

Obviously, Xutian Palace has not established a firm foothold in Song State, and even if it has, it probably will not protect them, the peripheral members.
