The female supporting character in the cultivation world only wants to grow flowers and become stron

Lin Yitang frowned slightly and looked around. She keenly sensed a strong fluctuation of spiritual energy not far ahead. Listening closely, she could faintly hear the sound of spiritual energy colliding.

"Everyone, please proceed with caution," Lin Yitang said softly. "There may be a fight ahead."

Everyone nodded and followed Lin Yitang forward. As they got closer, the sounds of fighting became clearer.

Two groups of people were engaged in a fierce battle ahead, and the scene was extremely chaotic.

The group on the left was dressed in uniform sect robes, led by a stunningly beautiful female cultivator whose aura indicated she was at least at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. She wielded a pipa-shaped magic weapon and was locked in a fierce battle with the opposing forces.

The group on the right wore various attire; some wore luxurious brocade robes, while others wore ordinary coarse cloth. Leading them was a burly man with a fierce face and a violent aura, clearly a cultivator at least in the early Foundation Establishment stage.

Upon seeing the female cultivator, the disciples of the Tianyin Sect exclaimed in unison, "Senior Sister!"

Seeing Lin Yitang's confusion, the male disciple next to her quickly explained, "Senior Sister Lin, that is our sect's senior sister, who has already reached the late Foundation Establishment stage. We don't recognize the group on the right; they seem to be from the Loose Cultivator Alliance."

Lin Yitang nodded, her gaze sweeping over the group on her right. Sure enough, they all exuded an air of nonchalance and arrogance, and their robes were a motley collection.

Just then, the leader of the group on the right suddenly shouted, his tone arrogant: "Disciples of the Heavenly Sound Sect, listen up! You are no match for us! If you know what's good for you, hand over that spiritual spring to us, or don't blame us for being impolite!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Yitang and the new disciples were all taken aback, their gazes sweeping past the two groups of people and looking towards the scene behind them.

A white mist swirled around them, and a huge pool could be vaguely seen, emanating a faint fluctuation of spiritual energy. Although Lin Yitang couldn't make out the exact shape of the pool, she was certain that it must be the legendary spiritual spring.

She immediately understood; it seemed these two groups were fighting for the spirit spring. According to the map, there should be a large spirit spring after passing the Demon Vine Forest and the Flower Forest.

However, judging from the injuries sustained by the cultivators, it is easy to see that the senior sister of the Tianyin Sect has actually fallen into a disadvantageous position.

She bore several obvious wounds, her robes torn, blood seeping out. Her breathing was also erratic, she was panting heavily, clearly at her last gasp.

Her opponents, the Loose Cultivator Alliance, also included several cultivators at the mid-Foundation Establishment stage. Their coordinated attacks were relentless, leaving the senior sister struggling to keep up.

The disciples of Tianyin Sect all looked anxious. A young disciple gritted his teeth, approached Lin Yitang, and pleaded in a low voice, "Senior Sister Lin, please save our Senior Sister! If you're willing to help, we're willing to share half of the treasures we just obtained in the secret realm with you!"

As he spoke, he took out several jade boxes from his storage bag and presented them to Lin Yitang with both hands. His eyes were full of earnestness and urgency, and even slightly moist.

With him taking the lead, the other new disciples of the Tianyin Sect also prayed to Lin Yitang to help their senior sister.

They understood that Lin Yitang wasn't a formal disciple of the Tianyin Sect, making her an outsider. Asking for her help would naturally come at a price.

Lin Yitang glanced at the boxes and shook her head slightly. She wasn't greedy for the treasures, but rather weighing the pros and cons.

A careful examination of both sides' forces reveals a significant disparity in strength. On the Tianyin Sect's side, besides their senior sister, a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, there are only three mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators and a dozen or so early-stage Foundation Establishment disciples.

On the other hand, the Loose Cultivator Alliance, although it only had one late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator, had as many as ten mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators! In addition, there were some early-stage Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining stage loose cultivators, making their strength significantly stronger than that of the Heavenly Sound Sect.

No wonder the Tianyin Sect members were at a disadvantage. The senior sister not only had to face the pressure of a late-stage Foundation Establishment expert, but also had to deal with the siege of several mid-stage Foundation Establishment cultivators at the same time, so she naturally seemed overwhelmed.

To be honest, if Lin Yitang joined the Loose Cultivator Alliance, her chances of winning would be much greater. Defeating the Tianyin Sect cultivators would bring her considerable rewards.

Even if they win, the rogue cultivators won't share their resources with Lin Yitang; she will naturally help the Tianyin Sect.

After careful consideration, Lin Yitang realized that although her strength was outstanding among early Foundation Establishment cultivators, she was not confident of victory against a mid-Foundation Establishment expert. After all, she had no experience dealing with mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Just as Lin Yitang hesitated, the senior sister of the Tianyin Sect seemed to have noticed her as well.

Observing the way the disciples around her treated Lin Yitang, she deduced that Lin Yitang must be the leader of the new disciples of the Tianyin Sect.

So while she was wielding her sword to fend off the attacks of the rogue cultivators, she hurriedly sent a telepathic message to Lin Yitang: "Junior sister, I am the senior sister of the Tianyin Sect. The situation is critical, please cooperate with us to fight against these rogue cultivators!"

Lin Yitang nodded slightly and replied telepathically, "That's exactly what I was thinking, but I don't know what I should do?"

The senior sister of the Tianyin Sect said, "Junior sister, what you need to do is actually very simple. You lead the early Foundation Establishment disciples to try to hold off the two mid Foundation Establishment cultivators on the other side. If you have a backup plan, it would be best to hold off one more."

As long as you tie down as many of their men as possible, we have a chance of winning. If you can hold off three or four of them, we veteran disciples have a chance to defeat them!

Although the eldest sister's voice was hurried, it was full of confidence.

Seeing her confidence, Lin Yitang chose to believe her. The situation at Tianyin Sect was indeed critical; if no action was taken soon, someone might perish here.

Moreover, she didn't want to see the disciples of the Heavenly Sound Sect defeated by rogue cultivators. After all, she needed these people to maintain her identity and live in seclusion.

Lin Yitang immediately looked up at the disciples of the Tianyin Sect and said in a deep voice, "Fellow disciples, the situation is critical. We must unite to turn the tide! Listen to my command, early Foundation Establishment disciples, follow me and hold off the mid Foundation Establishment cultivators on the other side!"

Seeing that Lin Yitang had agreed to help, the disciples of Tianyin Sect were immediately invigorated and shouted in unison, "Alright! We will follow Senior Sister Lin's command!"

Lin Yitang looked around and quickly made arrangements.

She pointed to several of the more powerful disciples and instructed them, "You few, keep that mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator on the left occupied, don't give him a chance to support the others!"

He then turned to the other dozens of people and continued, "You guys flank him from the right and surround that mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator. Outnumber him and try to deplete his spiritual power!"

The disciples responded and immediately sprang into action. Under Lin Yitang's guidance, they easily held off two mid-Foundation Establishment cultivators.

Lin Yitang then turned and rushed towards another mid-Foundation Establishment cultivator.
