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

When the two arrived at the outer pavilion on a cloud, they saw the disciples inside secretly peeking in the same direction.

Shen Huaichuan and Yun Yici stepped into the pavilion and looked over to find Yue Niang holding a jade slip in her hand, examining it closely.

To these disciples, it appeared as a jade slip floating in the air.

Therefore, some people couldn't help but secretly glance in the direction of the Moon Goddess.

Although Yue Niang had a fiery temper, she knew her limits and didn't argue with these young disciples.

Furthermore, many of the records about talismans in this outer cabinet were to her liking.

Upon entering the outer cabinet, it was as if she had stumbled into a treasure trove.

She came from the countryside and relied entirely on her own hard work and struggle to get where she was.

The Lingwei Sect was renowned for its power and influence. For many years, sword cultivation was the dominant path in the human realm, causing cultivators of other schools to become inferior.

At this point in time, she was just a wild teenage girl and had no right to step into the Lingwei Sect.

These talismanic scriptures she longed for were lost along with the Lingwei Sect when she lacked the ability to obtain them.

Although she had already achieved great success in her cultivation, she was overjoyed to be able to fulfill the regret she had felt in her youth.

Meanwhile, as soon as Shen Huaichuan and Yun Yici stepped into the inner pavilion, they attracted the attention of all the disciples in the pavilion.

Yue Niang noticed it too, but she didn't pay any attention at first. Suddenly, she heard a surprised exclamation: "Uncle Shen! Is this your new disciple from outside?"

Yue Niang immediately looked up and found that, as expected, the disciples' gazes were focused on Yun Yici.

She put down the jade slip in surprise and asked loudly, "What's wrong with Xiao Ci?"

They've only been apart for a short time.

The disciples saw the new "junior sister" smile sweetly: "I am not Senior Shen's disciple. My name is Yun Yici. I came to Lingwei Sect to seek answers to my questions and to learn."

After she finished speaking, she shook the small gourd containing wine in her hand: "Please wait a moment, fellow disciples."

Yun Yici quickly walked past the curious disciples to Yue Niang's side, and then handed the wine gourd to Yue Niang.

When Yue Niang opened the gourd, her eyes lit up as soon as she smelled the aroma of wine wafting from inside.

"Good wine! Is this for me?"

With too many disciples at the moment, Yun Yici could only give a simple "hmm".

Yue Niang guessed Yun Yici's intention, and holding the gourd, she slipped out of the outer pavilion.

The speed was so fast that it astonished the junior disciples of the Lingwei Sect.

"That senior is really amazing."

"I just don't know what kind of cultivation technique she practices that allows her to become invisible. Even the Grand Elder couldn't sense her presence!"

"This senior is very fast! I guess he's at least at the Fusion Stage!"

"Wait, stop talking. Junior Sister Xiaoyun seems to know that senior."

The young disciples were very close to Yun Yici, who was about the same age, and greeted her warmly.

In no time, Yun Yici became familiar with the disciples.

Because she was worried that Sect Leader Shen was still waiting for news of her, Yun Yici could not linger for too long and had to go with Shen Huaichuan to find Sect Leader Shen first.

As soon as she stepped out of the outer pavilion, Yue Niang, dressed in a moon-white long dress, appeared gracefully.

She also had a small gourd for holding wine hanging from her waist.

Moon Lady smiled and said, "What is the origin of this wine? It is truly the best wine I have ever tasted in my life."

Yun Yici: "It is pear-scented wine brewed by Senior Shen's master. It is said that the pears used to make the wine only bear fruit once every three hundred years, and only one jar of wine can be brewed from one tree."

Moon Lady sighed, "Indeed, good wine is hard to come by."

The three of them went to pay their respects to Sect Leader Shen Fengzhi openly this time, but when they saw her again, she looked exhausted.

Shen Fengzhi finally saw Yun Yici and Yue Niang's appearances. She suppressed her exhaustion and said with relief, "As expected, Peak Master Li has a way."

After Yun Yici and the other two left, she didn't rest. She convened the elders' council and tested their attitude.

To her disappointment, these self-important high achievers all reacted with the same thing: disbelief.

How could the Lingwei Sect be destroyed? How could they die? Or even be dead, nonexistent?

Are you kidding me?

Of course, although the Lingwei Sect's higher-ups reacted strongly, they were able to reach a consensus internally: to keep the matter quiet and not cause unrest throughout the sect.

Shen Fengzhi originally planned to send away a group of disciples as the hope for the continuation of the Lingwei Sect, but in the end, none of the disciples she sent away survived.

When Yun Yici and the others arrived, Sect Leader Shen was having a headache over this matter.

"They usually listen to a bit of what I say."

"This time, because of the order sent by the Heavenly Spirit Domain, most of the elders in our sect regard it as a provocation, and the entire sect is in favor of war."

In fact, the conditions offered by the Heavenly Spirit Realm made peace negotiations impossible.

To agree to the Heavenly Spirit Realm's request is to become its dog, an accomplice in enslaving one's own kind, and the culprit in invading other realms!

Collecting just four immortal artifacts, the first of which is the Lingwei Seal, is tantamount to digging up the roots of the Lingwei Sect.

And how many fellow disciples would they have to sacrifice to obtain the three immortal artifacts that were scattered in the other three realms?

We'd rather die fighting than live on our knees!

Therefore, Shen Fengzhi's probing caused the higher-ups of the Lingwei Sect to overreact.

If they didn't know Shen Fengzhi's character well, they would have suspected that Shen Fengzhi, as the sect leader, was afraid and had backed down.

Shen Fengzhi felt helpless.

Shen Huaichuan said, "Let's hold another meeting of the elders. I will prove that what we said is true."

Sitting to the side, Yue Niang added, "To put it bluntly, if you're angry, Sect Leader Shen, there's nothing I can do."

Shen Fengzhi was always magnanimous, and upon hearing this, he readily agreed with Yue Niang's words: "Please speak, young friend Yue."

Moon Maiden: "Your Lingwei Sect is far too arrogant."

“This is a matter of life and death for one region against another, yet you are foolish enough to try to resist it with the strength of one sect.”

"Furthermore, after the rise of the Lingwei Sect, the sword path has become the only one in the human realm. Your outer pavilion has collected so many classic texts, you should know that the Great Dao is formless and that there is not only the sword path in the world."

"If your Lingwei Sect had started supporting other sects earlier, and the human realm had flourished, the Lingwei Sect would not have fallen into such an isolated and helpless situation."

Shen Fengzhi listened intently, and she sighed, "The Lingwei Sect may truly only have vassals, not true friends."

"Hopefully, the Lingwei Sect will not repeat the same mistakes in the future."

Yue Niang smiled and said, "Then Sect Leader Shen need not worry. Xiao Ci has already appointed me as a guest elder to be responsible for teaching disciples talisman techniques."

Yun Yici said at the right moment, "What Yue Niang said is right. The goal of the Heavenly Spirit Domain is the four immortal artifacts, and it also wants the four realms to submit to it. Why don't we try to join forces with the other realms?"

Yun Yici wondered if the reason for the Lingwei Sect's failure was as Ruyue Niang had said.

He was too arrogant, overestimated himself, underestimated his enemy, and did not seek help from any power.

If it were a war in which all four realms united against a common enemy, it would never end quietly.

Rather than coldly following the inevitable outcome, she wanted history to take a turn and let them win once.

Shen Fengzhi shook his head: "Humans and demons are natural enemies. The Ghost Realm is independent of the Three Realms, and the Demon Realm has complex forces. Even if Jiuying were willing to step forward, he couldn't get his people to fight for us, let alone the other demon races."
