Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Long Siyin felt that everything in front of her was moving very slowly: the calls from behind, the fighting around her, and the voices of the men in black.

Everything was fading away, and all that remained in her eyes was the "monster" that had been cut in two.

"Siyin!" Xu Qizhou erected a transparent barrier in front of Long Siyin, looking at the girl with concern.

Long Siyin covered her eyes, forcing herself not to look at the "monster" that had been mutated from a human.

She straightened up and looked at the stunned soldiers of the Shengyu Army standing below the city wall.

The entire battlefield was filled with "monsters" mutated from human people. They looked all sorts of strange creatures. Some had long since become mindless monsters, while others still had some human characteristics, their eyes filled with fear and confusion.

The girl's sword, Watari, was still stained with bright red blood. Her voice was cold and hoarse, brooking no refusal.

"Sheng Yu Army, retreat back into the city!"

The soldiers of Shengyu Army were unwilling to return, because among these mutated human monsters, some familiar figures appeared.

"Xiao Qing!" A soldier from the Shengyu Army looked at a woman in a tattered white dress not far away. Her body was covered with sharp bone spurs, and on her beautiful face, two hideous tumors grew from her eyes.

The Shengyu Army soldier tried to rush out, but was blocked by the disciples of the Immortal Sect.

The soldier knelt on the ground, pleading desperately, "Immortal Master, that's my wife! She's the wife I was abducted by the demons seven years ago, and she's pregnant...she..."

As the sergeant finished speaking, his eyes suddenly widened, staring intently at his wife's lower abdomen.

The woman's lower abdomen was covered in a glaring crimson blood. As her dress fluttered, he saw her disemboweled stomach, a gruesome wound piercing through her abdomen, the blood long since dried.

"Ah!" The soldier of the Shengyu Army knelt on the ground, looking at his unconscious wife not far away, and desperately tore at his hair.

He fought for seven years at Luoxia Mountain, escaping death countless times, all for that one thought in his heart.

"Is this the fate of the people living in the south of Da Shun?" A mournful voice suddenly rang out from among the soldiers of Sheng Yu Army.

"Wife and children separated, family destroyed and people killed!"

The sound was so piercing that everyone around felt a chill run down their spines.

Everyone, including the disciples of the Longsword Sect, was thinking about it.

Yes, are they just destined to guard this Luoxia Mountain every day? Is the peace of this world and even the entire Yuanming realm dependent on them?

Seeing that the situation was getting out of control, a disciple of the Longsword Sect looked up at the girl standing at the front and said, "Young Sect Master!"

Long Siyin shuddered violently.

"Young Sect Master!"

"Young Sect Master!"

……

Long Siyin heard a chorus of calls coming from all around her, all calling for her, calling for the current young sect leader of the Longsword Sect, wanting her to give her some advice.

Everyone was eagerly hoping she would give them some advice.

A bitter smile appeared on the girl's face, and then she looked up at the black-robed demon who had just spoken.

"Now that you're here, don't leave."

As soon as the girl finished speaking, Xu Qizhou stepped on a sword light and attacked the demon opposite him. With a sudden attack, the demon was cut down by the sword light and fell into the pile of demons. In an instant, it was swallowed up by the snow-white sword light.

Long Siyin looked around. The humans who hadn't fully mutated before had also turned into bloodthirsty monsters. A steady stream of ordinary magical beasts rushed towards them from the horizon, engulfing them at their feet, their shrill screams echoing through the air, utterly terrifying.

There was nothing she could do; something inside Long Siyin was teetering on the brink of collapse.

Even cultivators cannot eradicate the demonic poison, let alone ordinary human people.

Only... only...

This is a trap set by the demons for human cultivators. The girl stroked the longsword in her hand. Du Ying emitted a faint sword hum.

"Disciples of the Longsword Sect, heed my command! Bring the Victorious Feather Army back to the city!"

The disciples of the Longsword Sect immediately sprang into action, and the soldiers of the Victory Feather Army were pushed and shoved by the disciples of the immortal sect, without any power to resist.

Long Siyin turned around and bowed to her companions behind her: "Everyone, seven years ago, my father died in battle at Luoxia Mountain. I retrieved this Duying Sword from the Sword Tomb."

The girl's gentle smile made even her cold, hard light armor seem soft.

"My father, the Sword Immortal Linxuan, was famous for his sword technique, 'Crossing the Reflection of Light.' Today, Siyin will make a fool of herself with it!"

The girl suddenly turned around, her sword swung like a full moon, the golden sword light like a soft veil covering the mutated humans.

Xu Qizhou beat the demon half to death, and when he looked up, he saw a scene that broke his heart.

The golden sword light shredded all the mutated human people on the ground, and Long Siyin stood in the very center, carrying her sword behind her.

The aura that had been gathered around the girl shattered in that instant. A trickle of blood flowed from the corner of her mouth.

Long Siyin's Dao Heart is shattered!

The girl looked at the crowd behind her and said, "Gentlemen, I will bear the consequences of this."

There was an uproar.

Long Siyin smiled and collapsed, her vision fading into darkness.

Long Siyin found her path after her father's death in battle. She was twelve years old at the time, a month after her father, the Sword Immortal Linxuan, died in battle and the demons were repelled.

On a moonlit night, Long Siyin sneaked into the Longsword Sect's Sword Tomb and retrieved her deceased father's sword, Duying.

It also established its own path... the path of all living beings.

The twelve-year-old girl told no one that on that night at the Sword Tomb, she chose the path of all living beings before the Sword of Crossing Reflection, thinking that she would fight forever on Mount Luoxia, and that the long sword in her hand would never be swung at her own people.

But what about now?

The young sect leader of the Longsword Sect, the sole commander on the front lines of Luoxia Mountain, claimed to protect the people within the mountain's borders. Yet, he casually slaughtered thousands of mutated human civilians.

She was still using the Duyingguang that her father had given to protect Luoxia Mountain.

They are truly wicked and deserve to have their moral compass shattered.

At the Xuanhuang Sect's Jiyuan Peak, Xue Lan, who was refining a weapon, was suddenly startled by Xue Tong's loud outburst. Xue Tong rushed to her side anxiously and exclaimed, "Xue Lan, Long Siyin's Dao Heart has shattered!"

Xue Lan paused, a chill creeping into her dark eyes.

"what happened?"

Xue Tong quickly told Xue Lan about the situation.

"Seven years ago, the demons did indeed abduct many people from the border of Da Shun." The girl lowered her eyes in thought, and finally said slowly, "Siyin is too righteous."

Long Siyin is too righteous. Like Xu Qizhou, he was raised by his sect to be the sect leader from a young age. He has had responsibilities on his shoulders since childhood, as heavy as a mountain, and he never knows when he will be crushed.

Xu Qizhou was somewhat better; his choice of path was solely for ultimate strength, which revealed a degree of selfishness. But Long Siyin was truly…

How can the burden of all living beings in this world be placed on just one person's shoulders?

She was like a bowstring always taut, bearing countless responsibilities: the young sect leader of the Longsword Sect, the guardian of Sunset Mountain. Everyone was watching her.

Xue Lan sighed: "The mutated humans actually died a long time ago, this child is just stubbornly clinging to a rut."

But it's not entirely Long Siyin's fault; those people are other men's wives, other men's parents, other men's children...

Some people will blame and curse, but the righteous Long Siyin cannot bear such curses.

She took out a small iron bird from her sleeve. This was a contraption that Wu Yijun had been researching; it was faster and covered a longer distance than a communication talisman.

The girl took out a talisman for transmitting sound and slowly unfolded it, infusing it with magical power. She didn't care whether Ji Jinjin and the others would ask her how she knew.

Asking is the key to seizing opportunities.

Half a day later, Xu Qizhou, who was guarding the door of Long Siyin's room, received Xue Lan's little iron bird.

Xu Qizhou unfolded the talisman inside in front of everyone, and Xue Lan's calm and gentle voice came out, with a hint of arrogance that was hard to detect if you listened carefully.

"I already know about Siyin's matter. The Demon Clan's move is aimed at winning hearts and minds, bullying our young sect leader who is as beautiful as the moon in the sky! If you really let her bear the consequences alone, when my Wan Gong Workshop returns, none of you will be able to have a single weapon forged by me!"

"Although I don't know how she found out, Master Xue's threat is still very powerful." Xu Qizhou looked at the people around him.

Min Chang stood to one side with her arms crossed: "Count me in for those disgusting demons."

Ji Jinjin carefully pushed open the door and looked at Long Siyin, who was still fast asleep on the bed.

"We cannot allow them to sow discord among the human race. I'll count myself in too, since Senior Sister has already agreed!"

Zhu He and Lian Chuan nodded in agreement.

Inside the room, a single tear lingered in the corner of the sleeping girl's eye.
