My thoughts returned to the battlefield.
at this time.
Thanks to the arrival of the rescue team brought by Lin Yitang, the beast tide in this area was finally brought under control.
Lin Yitang herself joined the mission to annihilate the beast tide. She dealt with these first and second-tier demonic beasts almost effortlessly, killing them one by one. Her ease drew the attention of the outer sect disciples who had previously been slaying demonic beasts in the area, their eyes filled with admiration.
"Inner disciples are truly different!" someone exclaimed.
They had witnessed firsthand the battles between late-stage Qi Refining outer disciples and demonic beasts, and that it usually took a heavy price to barely kill a demonic beast of the same level. But Lin Yitang only needed a single, effortless strike to easily defeat a demonic beast, as effortlessly as chopping melons and vegetables.
After clearing out the monsters in this area, the outer disciples of this region finally got a rest and returned to the huge defensive array to recuperate and restore their spiritual energy.
Since the beast tide has not yet ended, they cannot return to their sect and need to continue guarding this place. However, as long as they do not fight the monsters, their pressure is greatly reduced.
The team leader excitedly grabbed Lin Yitang's hand and said gratefully, "Thank you so much for your help, Senior Sister Lin! If you hadn't arrived in time, we probably wouldn't have been able to escape unscathed."
Lin Yitang smiled and said, "No need to be so polite. This is simply the duty of us inner disciples. You are fighting bravely on the front lines, so naturally we must do our best to support you."
After a short rest, the inner disciples headed to the next battlefield a quarter of an hour later.
Upon arriving at the next location, Lin Yitang, just as she had done the first time, arranged for people to provide rescue in various places, and soon suppressed the beast tide in this area.
There are about four or five such battlefields on the outskirts of the Endless Forest, responsible for capturing any that escaped. The second place was probably luckier, as it didn't encounter any major crises and was in a much better situation than the first place. So Lin Yitang didn't even have to lift a finger; the inner disciples were enough to annihilate the beast tide.
The leader of the second area was a male cultivator at the tenth level of Qi Refining. He wore a black robe and had a handsome face, making him a striking figure.
However, his expression at this moment revealed a clear arrogance and disdain.
"Heh, aren't these the inner sect's darlings? What brings you to our filthy and chaotic place?" The male cultivator sneered, his tone full of sarcasm.
"I advise you to go back as soon as possible, lest you get tainted by blood here and can't wash it off when you get back."
Lin Yitang frowned slightly, not understanding what this male cultivator meant.
He spoke slowly and deliberately, his gaze sweeping over Lin Yitang and the others intentionally or unintentionally, with even a hint of resentment in his expression.
"You inner disciples are usually pampered and protected by the sect. Where have you ever seen such a scene? I've heard that some of the junior sisters have never even seen blood a few times. They're probably pale with fright and want to vomit by now, aren't they?" He sneered, his tone becoming increasingly sarcastic.
The disciples beside Lin Yitang turned pale and were about to lash out, but she gently held them down.
Lin Yitang took a deep breath, trying to suppress her displeasure, and a polite smile returned to her face.
“Senior brother,” Lin Yitang nodded slightly, his tone calm, “I am Lin Yitang, and I have come to support you fellow disciples on the orders of the sect. I have observed that although there are many demonic beasts here, you and your fellow disciples are all brave and skilled in battle, and I am sure you have already dealt with them with ease. Although we are in the inner sect, we are willing to share the burden of the sect and do our best.”
As she spoke, her gaze swept lightly across the male cultivator's face, as if she hadn't been the one who had been mocked and ridiculed earlier.
"I wonder if you have any concerns or suggestions regarding our coming to help us? We are willing to listen humbly so that we can better assist you."
Lin Yitang spoke sincerely, revealing no flaws and displaying complete composure.
Upon hearing this, the male cultivator raised an eyebrow, seemingly surprised by Lin Yitang's friendliness. He sized Lin Yitang up and down, then snorted coldly, his tone still unfriendly, but no longer as sharp and sarcastic as before.
"Concerns? Suggestions? Ha, Junior Sister Lin thinks too highly of me." He continued to sneer, "I'm just worried that you inner sect pampered girls might have nightmares every night after spending too much time on this bloody battlefield."
"You should know that the inner disciples are the apple of the sect's eye, pampered and protected. They don't even do the dirty or hard work, let alone kill demonic beasts. All of that is done by us outer disciples. You can't do the work of killing demonic beasts, so you might as well go back and rest. That would be better for the sect."
Lin Yitang remained unmoved, maintaining his gentle tone as he said, "Senior brother is joking. Although we are not often trained, we are not delicate flowers in a greenhouse. The sect trains us precisely to deal with such dangerous situations, so please rest assured, senior brother."
At this moment, an inner disciple behind Lin Yitang whispered in her ear, "Senior Sister Lin, why don't we just ignore him? I know this person. He's a famous outer disciple genius, but also one of the troublemakers in the outer sect. Because he failed the outer sect competition when he was young and couldn't enter the inner sect, he hates all the inner disciples. He thinks that if he hadn't been unlucky and failed to enter the inner sect, none of the inner disciples could compare to him."
"There's no point in talking to this kind of person. He won't listen anyway, and he won't get in the way. Let's just leave him here and hurry to the next place."
Lin Yitang nodded, understanding dawning on her; so that's how it is.
However, the way the inner disciples were treated during the beast tide was probably due to dissatisfaction with the sect's decision. After all, when danger came, the outer disciples were sent to suffer first, and only when the outer disciples could not hold on were the inner disciples sent to the battlefield. Perhaps this is why there is so much resentment towards the inner disciples.
No, perhaps it's not just him; many outer disciples in the Endless Forest probably share this thought.
They were dissatisfied that they suffered so much while the inner disciples enjoyed good resources, the protection of the sect, and could get everything they wanted without doing anything.
She had also spent a year in the outer sect and knew how different the treatment was between outer and inner sect disciples. If she were an outer sect disciple, she would probably hate inner sect disciples too.
With a sigh, she turned her gaze back to the male cultivator and said slowly, "Well then, senior brother, if you still have that idea, I'll offer a suggestion."
“I observe that the terrain in the area you are in charge of is easy to defend and difficult to attack, and there are few monsters that invade. However, the other areas that we are supporting are suffering from the beast tide and urgently need support. I wonder what you think, senior brother? If you could allocate some manpower to go with me to provide support, it would definitely alleviate the pressure on those areas.”
She smiled at the male cultivator, "In this way, we can make the best use of resources, relieve the pressure in other places, and prove your strength. Isn't that killing two birds with one stone?"
