I can't keep a low profile when cultivating immortality; the sixth one is actually myself.

As they were about to emerge from the misty formation, Fengchuan suddenly remembered that the person beside him was Xiaoqing, not Xiaocai.

To avoid any unnecessary misunderstandings, he stopped and turned to Xiaoqing, saying, "Xiaoqing, go inside the spirit beast pouch to cultivate first! I'll let you out when we get back to the sect."

"Okay, master!"

Xiao Qing entered the spirit beast bag, and then Xiao Cai appeared beside him.

However, in a fleeting glance, Xiao Cai noticed that a woman with blue hair seemed to have gone into the spirit beast pouch.

Xiao Cai looked at the older boy with a puzzled expression, but didn't ask any questions.

“Xiao Cai, I just acquired another spirit pet in the valley. Her name is Xiao Qing. I'll introduce you to her when we get back to the sect.”

"Okay, sir!"

"Okay, let's go out together then. We've been in the valley for quite a while now, and my senior sisters must be getting impatient waiting outside!"

The two chatted as they walked outside.

At this moment, outside the fog formation.

Murong Ziling, who was initially full of confidence in Fengchuan, is now a little anxious.

He paced back and forth in front of the group of fellow disciples who were resting.

'Junior brother has been inside for so long, why hasn't he come out yet?'

'Could something have happened? It's all my fault, I shouldn't have let him go in and risk it!'

'Oh dear, if something happens, how am I supposed to explain it to my master?'

……

At this moment, an impatient junior brother suddenly spoke up, breaking the dull atmosphere.

"Senior Sister Murong, is Junior Brother Feng in any danger?"

I remember you're also skilled in formations, Senior Sister. Why don't you take a few people in to check out the situation?

The Qingyun disciples are generally quite united, and under these circumstances, they have no intention of abandoning Fengchuan.

Murong Ziling was clearly taken aback upon hearing this.

'Me? Bring people in? If I really bring people in, will they ever come out?'

I don't know anything about formations. If I really bring people in, it'll be like throwing meat buns to a dog—they'll never come back!

Oh, my heart is breaking, but I can't say a word!

Since her junior brother had already brought up the matter, she couldn't refuse to answer.

How should I reply? It seems like no reply is appropriate.

Going in will only harm more fellow disciples.

If she doesn't go in, her public image will prevent people from misunderstanding her and saying she'd let someone die.

awkward!

She knew nothing about formations, but her junior brothers and sisters were completely unaware of them.

Tragically, it remains unexplained.

This really put her in a bind, leaving her caught in a dilemma, unable to move forward or backward.

What should we do?

Alas, a persona built on lies can't withstand scrutiny. I deeply regret my actions!

With her public persona about to crumble, Murong Ziling is now completely disoriented.

Helpless, he could only stammer and reply, "Um... this... the Mist Array is no small matter, I also..."

"Senior sister, we're back!"

Suddenly, a voice, as beautiful as heavenly music, entered Murong Ziling's ears.

She quickly turned her head to look in the direction the sound came from.

Upon seeing that it was indeed his junior brother, he rushed towards Fengchuan in three steps.

He grabbed Toyokawa's arm.

"Junior brother, that's great, you're finally out!"

"I'm sorry to have kept you waiting, Senior Sister! I thank all my fellow senior brothers and sisters!"

Fengchuan bowed to the Qingyun disciples with clasped hands.

"It's good that my junior brother is alright!..."

By this time, the other branches had already arrived, and hundreds of disciples were waiting on the outskirts of the valley.

"Alright, now that our junior brother is out safely, let's move on together!" Tao Youran said.

"agree……"

Now that all the branches have gathered, and the secret realm is about to close, everyone will naturally no longer act alone.

Next, the main force moved together without any major setbacks.

Aside from working together to gather several fourth-tier spiritual herbs, the time was spent peacefully.

Half a month later, the exit of the secret realm finally reopened.

The Qingyun Sword Sect team then left the secret realm together.

However, before anyone could even rejoice after leaving the secret realm, they were told by the sect elders that they should board the ship immediately.

Only then did all the disciples realize that all the sects seemed to be in the same situation. After letting the disciples undergoing training board the ship hastily, they left in a hurry.

After the disciples of the Qingyun Sword Sect had boarded the ship, they didn't wait any longer.

The cloud-sea spaceship took off and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

'Something's not right, something's very wrong!' That was the thought in all the disciples' minds.

In the past, even after the main group of disciples came out for training, it would still take some time.

They will not leave until the secret realm closes and they are certain that no more disciples will emerge.

Moreover, all sects, especially those of the same level, inevitably engage in a competition.

This time was clearly different; the various sects seemed completely unconcerned about the training conditions in the secret realm.

As soon as their own training disciples boarded the ship, they immediately set sail and left.

In less than half an hour, all the sects had left.

The group of rogue cultivators were left standing bewildered and confused in the wind.

They didn't even hand over the profits they had agreed to with the Tuobi Sect.

However, those rogue cultivators who managed to enter the secret realm and emerge alive were not simple-minded individuals.

There must be a demon in the abnormal situation.

So everyone hurriedly left as well.

Only after everyone had left did the four furtive rogue cultivators reveal themselves in an inconspicuous mountain hollow.

"What's going on? What do we do now?" a rogue cultivator asked.

"I don't know, and I don't know if those four seniors are still around!" another rogue cultivator said.

After a moment of silence, the rogue cultivator surnamed Han said, "How about we wait another hour? If the four seniors don't show up, then we'll each leave?"

“Alright, let’s do as Brother Han says!” the fourth rogue cultivator replied.

The other two nodded silently, and then the four of them went to different places to sit and wait nearby.

I waited for more than an hour, but nothing came.

The four of them exchanged a glance and then, in unison, went their separate ways in four different directions.

At this moment, the Azure Cloud Sword Sect's Cloud Sea Flying Boat had already traveled thousands of miles.

When the spaceship returned to the sect, no team came to greet it.

After hastily sending the disciples of the thirteen lineages back to their respective lineages, the spaceship disappeared.

Feng Chuan, Murong Ziling, and Huangfu Chuxia disembarked from the spaceship and arrived in front of the sect's main hall.

They were supposed to report to their master, but were told that the sect leader was having a meeting with the high-ranking members of each branch.

So they could only return to their respective dojos with many questions in mind.

After returning to the dojo, Toyokawa rested briefly before heading to the outer gate plaza.

He always felt that something big might happen.

So he entered Tianweilou, ordered a few plates of spiritual food, and then spread his divine sense to listen to the news being discussed everywhere.

It turned out that everyone was talking about the same thing.

The demon race and the human race have inexplicably started a war.

What the hell is going on? How did a war break out out of nowhere?

"Senior Brother Li, do you know why the demon race suddenly started a war with the human race?" At this moment, a voice entered Fengchuan's ears.

He immediately perked up and focused on the conversation at the table.

"Well, nobody knows the specifics."

I only heard from rumors that the direct descendants of several major demon beast clans were killed without cause within the territory of the human race.

Moreover, several direct disciples of major sects of the human race also died inexplicably in the territory of the demon race.

Then the two sides inexplicably went to war, and now both sides are amassing troops in the Tianqian Mountains!

"Oh? That's serious! Will our sect be dragged into the war too?"

"Alas, since it's a race-based formation, how could our Azure Cloud Sword Sect possibly stand idly by!"

"What's the situation with that sect now? Have they already started sending disciples to the battlefield?"

"So far, I haven't heard of any large-scale relocation of disciples from any particular lineage."

However, I've heard that several members of the sect's higher-ups have already gone. It's said that one patriarch and one guest elder have already gone.

……

'Hmm? Things have escalated to this serious level?' Toyokawa thought to himself as he listened to the news from various places.

While they continued to gather information, the dishes were already served.

While eating, Toyokawa gathered information from various places.

Based on current information, the border between the two ethnic groups is currently in a state of standoff, and no actual war has occurred.

Half an hour later, the information was finally mostly gathered.

Toyokawa then paid the bill and returned to his dojo.

Now that the war has begun, it will not end easily.

He is currently weak and needs to make more preparations to deal with the crisis.

Then, Fengchuan released Xiaocai and Xiaoqing from the spirit beast bag.

After introducing the two to each other, Toyokawa remembered Xiaobai, who had been sealed away for many years.

With a racial war about to break out, probably no one will have the time or inclination to care about Little White.

So he released Xiaobai from its seal and took it out of the spirit beast pouch.

Little White suddenly emerged from the spirit beast pouch, initially feeling somewhat disoriented.

She was overjoyed when she saw that her older brother and sister were there.

"Big brother, is everything alright now?" Xiaobai asked.

"Yes, almost three years have passed, so there shouldn't be any problems!" Toyokawa replied.

Then, he introduced the three spirit pets to each other and sent them to the spirit field to tend to the spirit plants.

He himself was thinking about what preparations he should make next.
