The whole family went mad, but the junior sister turned the tables and her luck soared.

Yun Yici had a keen intuition and was confident that she couldn't be wrong.

She did have a feeling that the female demon, who should have been in dire straits herself, was looking at Shen Huaichuan with greedy eyes.

Shen Huaichuan nodded and said, "I felt it too."

Upon hearing Shen Huaichuan's words, Yun Yici asked in surprise, "Why is that?"

"Speaking of which, what are the people of Juexian City planning by capturing the Demon General but not killing him?"

Meng Sui disagreed, saying, "That's just how demons are; even when they're about to die, they can't change their greedy nature."

"Perhaps it was just a coincidence that she looked over."

Pei Heng said, "This is a territory where even the sect's token is useless. Otherwise, if we were to visit as disciples of a major sect, the city lord would surely have given us a thorough reception."

The people of Juexian City are always ready to fight the demons, living on the edge of death. It would be strange if they paid any attention to those who sit comfortably on high platforms.

There are only two kinds of people here: those who can contribute and those who cannot.

As Pei Heng spoke, he noticed Yun Yici staring intently at him. He turned his head slightly and said, "Fellow Daoist Yun, is there something I've done wrong?"

Yun Yici shook her head: "No."

She only thought of one thing: Pei Heng would return to the Medical Valley and disfigure her.

Is it possible that his appearance brought him trouble?

Otherwise, with his amazing medical skills, even if it's ruined, it can be repaired later.

However, Pei Heng, despite his terrifying appearance, became the master of the Medical Valley.

Yun Yici looked at Shen Huaichuan and then at Pei Heng with a conflicted expression.

To be honest, Pei Heng is good-looking, but Shen Huaichuan's humble and calm demeanor is a big plus.

If she had to choose between the two, she would definitely choose Shen Huaichuan.

Yun Yici suddenly felt a heavy responsibility on her shoulders. She had to ensure Shen Huaichuan's safety and protect his innocence.

As she was thinking, someone tapped her on the head.

Then Shen Huaichuan's calm and indifferent voice came: "Don't overthink things."

Yun Yici immediately became obedient: "Yes."

After bidding farewell to Meng Sui and the other two, Yun Yici and his companions returned to their lodgings. The next day, they arranged to meet again at the City Lord's Mansion.

It's called real combat, but it's actually a low-level illusion, simulating the terrain at the border between humans and demons, and providing a training ground for demons and demon warriors.

Going further up, lower-level illusions can no longer conjure higher-level demonic cultivators.

After two days of getting to know each other, Meng Sui and Pei Heng were very cooperative in accepting Shen Huaichuan.

Shen Huaichuan had lost all his spiritual power, but his swordsmanship remained. With the enhancement of his spiritual sword, he could still easily cut down a few demons.

His exquisite swordsmanship drew all the sword cultivators in the arena to him as if they had smelled a fragrance.

However... after confirming that Shen Huaichuan was unable to cultivate, they shook their heads and dispersed with regret.

No matter how skilled or talented a swordsman is, he can't defeat a low-level sword cultivator who has already embarked on the path of cultivation.

Some clever little devils even tried to bribe Shen Huaichuan with spirit stones to get the sword manual, but Yun Yici chased them away without any mercy.

Fortunately, the two days passed quickly, and the five prepared people set off with the team from Juexian City to the border between humans and demons.

When they arrived at the meeting point, Yun Yici looked into the distance and calculated that there were about three hundred people to be recruited.

She couldn't help but mutter to herself, "Are they here to sweep through? I wonder if I'll even get ten demons."

Unexpectedly, the large group left the city and, after flying through the air for a short while, arrived at a sturdy long wall.

The one leading them was still the female nun who had taught them before.

The female cultivator then introduced herself: "My name is Qingwei, and I am temporarily acting as the city lord. I am also in charge of this operation."

Next, their 300-person team split into three groups of 100 people each, and each group went in a different direction.

Yun Yici and his group were assigned to go straight ahead.

After flying for about another hour, the clear and open sky began to darken slightly, and an ominous atmosphere filled the air.

The Nascent Soul cultivator in charge of their formation said, "We will set up camp here. Five groups will stay behind, while the other five groups can hunt demons on their own. They will return every two hours to take turns."

Yun Yici and her group were either lucky or not, as they were assigned to the group that went first.

Before setting off, the Nascent Soul cultivator named Yuan Chang took out two different colored message talismans from his sleeve and distributed them to the five teams.

"If you encounter a demon that you cannot defeat, immediately issue an order: use silver to indicate if you need support, and use gold to indicate if you want your companions to escape."

Meng and Sui had no objections, so Yun Yici took the communication talisman from Yuan Chang and put it in his sleeve.

Yuan Chang stared at Shen Huaichuan and said, "If he wants to stay, he can stay here and wait for you."

Yun Yici then realized that Yuan Chang's voice sounded somewhat familiar. After looking closely, she recognized Yuan Chang as the city guard who had kindly reminded her at the gate a few days ago.

She quickly thanked him, saying, "Thank you for your kindness, senior, but he was with us."

Since Shen Huaichuan was unable to fly on a sword, she rode with him on the Huaichuan for the entire journey.

As for using the sword, Shen Huaichuan said that it was better for her to use it than for him, and told her to use it carefully.

Yun Yici then wanted Shen Huaichuan to choose one of the three thousand spirit swords of the Lingwei Sect, but to her surprise, Shen Huaichuan chose the spirit sword she used when she entered the sect.

At least Shen Huaichuan now has a sword.

As for the little fox Wannian, he longed for Bai Ruo's glory.

So Yun Yici rushed to have a magic staff custom-made for Wan Nian.

However, while Priestess Bai Ruo uses a staff to cast spells, the little fox Wan Nian uses the staff as a stick to smash heads repeatedly.

Given the physical prowess of the Nine-Tailed Fox King, Wan Nian, Yun Yici felt that the one who should be worried was not Wan Nian, but the Demon Clan.

As for Meng Sui, he is a Golden Core stage cultivator, so there's no need to worry about his safety.

Surprisingly, it was Pei Heng who was the one Yun Yici originally thought needed protection.

As it turns out, Pei Heng has a wood-type spiritual root. He possesses poisonous flower seeds that can be instantly activated to grow and release. Pei Heng is also skilled in poisonous gu.

In short, like Wan Nian, she appears innocent and gentle, but is actually violent and ruthless.

Yun Yici and his group of five, along with several other groups, set off.

Their purpose in coming to the border between humans and demons was twofold: first, to investigate the situation at this border, and second, to kill any demonic cultivators who crossed the boundary.

As Qingwei mentioned before, demons have almost no intelligence, and the boundary markers have no deterrent effect on them.

They might wander into the human realm before they know it, which is why the border between humans and demons is teeming with disgusting low-level monsters like these.

However, we cannot ignore these demonic creatures that are like skin diseases.

Because this is the boundary between humans and demons.

If people retreat one foot today, they will retreat another ten feet tomorrow. Over time, the human realm will be gradually devoured by the demon realm.

However, cultivators need time to grow, so this unique recruitment system was created as a last resort.

As a reward for killing demonic cultivators, it can be converted into contribution points, which can then be exchanged for desired items.

Yun Yici was worried that Shen Huaichuan would fall off the sword, so she deliberately shielded him in front of her, while she herself kept a close watch on everything around her, paying attention to any messages in the wind.

Meng Sui, standing on his flying artifact, looked into the distance. He paused for a moment, then pointed at the white dot in the distance with a bewildered expression and asked, "Did Fairy Qingwei mention before that demonic cultivators can fly?"

"Look!"
