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

The Third Elder nodded in satisfaction, then turned to the other inner disciples: "Who else is willing to travel with Lin Yitang?"

As soon as she finished speaking, several more inner disciples stepped forward. They were all of similar cultivation level to Lin Yitang and were filled with the passion to fight for their sect.

"We are willing to go with Senior Sister Lin!"

"We will do our utmost to protect the glory of our sect!"

……

Seeing the disciples' high spirits, the elder nodded with satisfaction: "Good! The Taique Sect will add another team, led by Lin Yitang. You can also choose some trustworthy members to go with you. Tomorrow morning, gather at the sect square and depart immediately!"

After receiving the order, Lin Yitang began preparations.

She first returned to her cave dwelling, gathering all the elixirs, talismans, and other resources to use during the mission. Then she carefully checked her magical artifacts and weapons to ensure everything was ready.

As night fell, Lin Yitang tossed and turned, the scene of being pushed in the inner square earlier that day constantly replaying in her mind.

She didn't even realize that the other party had concealed their presence, indicating they were prepared. The voice was also imitated, making it impossible to identify which disciple it was.

However, her purpose was also self-evident. The front line of the beast tide was extremely dangerous, and the scheme to have her annihilate the beast tide must have been orchestrated by Ye Qiuli's lineage from Danfu Peak or someone connected to her.

Thinking of this, a surge of anger rose within him. Ye Qiuli and her ilk were malicious; even in such a critical moment, they didn't forget to scheme against their fellow disciples. This time, they had learned their lesson; they didn't resort to underhanded methods that would be easily discovered, but instead struck on the spot, leaving no room for explanation or embarrassment.

Although it was a calculated scheme, upon reflection, their plan was destined to fail. This was because Lin Yitang was not at the tenth level of Qi Refining as they had assumed, but had already reached the peak of the early Foundation Establishment stage.

She remains invincible among those of the same level during the Qi Refining stage. With Lin Yitang's current strength, she probably fears no one below the late Foundation Establishment stage.

Thinking this, she took a deep breath and calmed herself. Now that the female protagonist's faction had made their move, she didn't need to hold back. This time, she would not only save her own life, but also make those with ulterior motives pay the price!

……

The next morning, as the first rays of sunlight fell on the Taique Sect's square, Lin Yitang was already leading a team of twenty inner disciples, fully prepared to set off.

Dressed in uniform white-patterned blue inner disciple robes, carrying their own bags and magical treasures, they boarded the sect's large flying boat and headed towards the Endless Forest.

The elder personally came to the square to see them off. His gaze swept over each disciple, and he said earnestly, "This journey will be fraught with danger; you must all act with extreme caution. Remember, once you reach the front lines, there will be no safety to speak of. You must obey orders, never act alone, and prioritize the protection of your own lives!"

Upon hearing this, all the disciples nodded in agreement.

They boarded the prepared flying boat, which slowly ascended into the air, leaving the familiar Taique Sect behind. The flying boat flew through the air, passing several villages around the Taique Sect along the way.

Lin Yitang frowned as he looked down and saw that many villages had already been ravaged by the beast tide. Houses had collapsed, fields were barren, dust filled the air, and the villagers were emaciated, their eyes revealing deep fear and helplessness.

Some village fences were knocked down, and the farmland was littered with the claw marks of monsters. The air was filled with the stench of blood.

As the airship drew closer to the endless forest, more and more villages were damaged. Ruins and broken walls were everywhere, and shattered furniture and farm tools were scattered on the scorched soil.

Lin Yitang's heart sank as she realized that the destructive power of the beast tide was far more serious than she had imagined.

Finally, the flying boat arrived at its destination. As soon as the disciples landed, the sight before them made them gasp in astonishment.

Within the territory of the Taique Sect, a massive defensive formation was filled with wounded soldiers, their groans echoing throughout. Some healers and disciples from the Spirit Herb Peak were doing their utmost to treat them, but manpower was clearly insufficient. Their clothes were stained with blood, and their faces bore the marks of exhaustion. Some disciples were hurrying about, carrying the wounded and fetching resources, afraid of delaying supplies to the front lines.

Looking around the formation, the ground was littered with traces of the rampage of demonic beasts. Broken branches, scattered stones, and gnawed grass all testified to the ferocity of the battle.

In the distance, faint fluctuations of spiritual energy colliding with demonic energy could be heard, indicating the direction of the front-line battlefield.

Some of the new disciples who had just left the sect for training had obviously never seen such a scene before; their faces turned pale and their stomachs churned.

They tried to suppress their discomfort, but several of them still couldn't help but gag. Some leaned against tree trunks, their faces as pale as paper, not daring to look up. Some disciples simply squatted on the ground, covering their mouths with their hands, their bodies trembling slightly.

However, Lin Yitang had experience and remained calm. Although the scene before her was shocking, she knew that she was still one of the leaders of the Taique Sect and had to lead these twenty-odd disciples to fill the gaps in the defensive line.

She held her breath and focused intently on sensing the faint fluctuations of spiritual energy nearby. She quickly determined that the fluctuations originated from a fierce battle, and one that was quite large.

"The situation is not optimistic, and we must provide support as soon as possible." Lin Yitang turned to look at everyone and calmly made arrangements. "Junior Brother Zhang, you lead a team to the east to provide support. The spiritual energy fluctuations there are the strongest, and it is probably the most critical moment. Junior Sister Li, you lead another team to the west to help clear out the first and second-tier demonic beasts that have escaped."

She was methodical and each instruction was precise. Her calm tone quickly calmed the surrounding disciples, and the previously chaotic group soon returned to order.

Following her instructions, the disciples immediately rushed to the battlefield.

After arranging the affairs and resolving the immediate shortage of personnel, Lin Yitang quickly found another team leader and asked, "Senior brother, how is the situation on the other side? Is there any need for support?"

The team leader's expression was grave. He shook his head and said, "Junior Sister, the situation is not optimistic. The scale of the beast tide is beyond our imagination. We are already feeling overwhelmed as we try to wipe out the first and second-tier monsters that have escaped at the very edge of the forest."

He sighed repeatedly, describing in detail what he had seen and heard: "The number of those demonic beasts was unprecedented. Although our disciples fought valiantly, they suffered heavy casualties. Many junior brothers and sisters were seriously injured and were struggling to hold on."

Lin Yitang was startled upon hearing this.

She never imagined that even at the very edge of the endless forest, the situation would be so dire.

"This is only the edge of the battlefield; the heart of the beast tide is probably even more brutal."

Senior Brother Wang sighed, his tone filled with helplessness, "We outer disciples are already struggling to deal with first and second-tier minor demonic beasts. Those third, fourth, and fifth-tier minor leader demonic beasts are the real threat."

"According to the news, the number of third and fourth-tier demonic beasts has exceeded a thousand, and there are countless first and second-tier ones. What's even more terrifying is that there are also many powerful fifth and sixth-tier demonic beasts mixed in with the beast tide. If it weren't for the sect's Golden Core elders and the peak masters of the small peaks personally overseeing the situation, I'm afraid this camp would have been difficult to defend."

"So we're all just supporting them. The real power comes from the Golden Core disciples and elders within the sect. They're responsible for eliminating these minor leader monsters and are the main force in this battle. As for the Nascent Soul elders, they guard the front lines to prevent higher-level monsters from breaking through the defenses."

Lin Yitang gasped.

She had never personally experienced such a large-scale beast tide, and the original text only mentioned it briefly; she never imagined it would be so devastating.
