108, Battle Situation

  Looking down at the rolling smoke and dust, Mo Tian Ge furrowed his brow.

  She never thought that outside would be such a chaotic scene!

  The fleeing crowd, the chasing low-ranking demon beasts, those who couldn't escape in time were caught up by the beasts, either being clawed until bloody or swallowed into their bellies.

  She clenched her fists and bit her lip, managing to retain some composure as she looked at the leading Su Xin Zhen Ren: "Su Xin Shifu?"

  Su Xin Zhen was a woman with a cold expression. At this moment, her eyebrows were stern and she raised her hand, shooting a duster at the demon beast below.

  Mo Tian Ge and others saw the situation, and they all took action.

  Blood splattered everywhere, limbs flew in all directions. These were low-ranking demon beasts. With dozens of people taking action, they were immediately cleaned up spotlessly.

  Mo Tian Ge wiped away the blood on his hand and exchanged a glance with Luo Feng Xue.

  Luo Feng's face turned somewhat pale, and he said in a low voice: "How could it be like this..."

  Moy Tian Ge saw that she was trembling slightly, knowing that she had been a renowned disciple since childhood. Without going through such a bloody scene, he grasped her hand: "Luo Shizi, we'll just kill the demon beast."

  Luofeng Snow took half a day to come back to her senses, shaking her head: "Don't worry, I can adapt." She said with a bitter smile, "Actually, our Xuanqing Gate has always been cautious and prepared for danger. Many of the disciples under our gate have experienced bloody battles, but I liked trivial matters and never thought that one day I would need to fight myself. Alas, I was too indulgent."

  These refugees were mostly ordinary people living in some market town or with some family, and now that they had been rescued, they knelt down one after another, and some even begged piteously to be taken to a safe place.

  The stranger's song is somewhat heart-wrenching, so he turns his head to look at Su Xin Zhen Ren.

  Su Xin shook his head and said, "We have other important matters at hand and cannot afford to delay here."

  Mo Tian Ge knew that Su Xin Zhen Ren's words were not false. This group of people, in total, was only about twenty or so. If they were to send these ordinary people away and come back again, it would be unknown how much time would be delayed. One day late, the situation would become even more precarious. Since it was beyond their power, there was no need to force it.

  "But someone shouted: 'Master Uncle, if we don't intervene, these ordinary people will probably lose their lives!'"

  Su Xin Zhenren gave that person a cold glance: "Although our Daoist sect adheres to the rules of purity, we must also distinguish between what is important and what is not. Now that something big is at stake, if these ordinary people quickly leave Kunwu Mountain, they can still save their lives without us having to trouble ourselves. Leave!"

  As he spoke, he manipulated his flying treasure and instantly left this place.

  The path of immortality is not without emotion, it's just that this feeling is limited. The song of the heavenly stranger sighed in his heart, but said nothing.

  After several days, everyone finally arrived at their destination.

  Tai Kang Mountain has a protective array, and the demon beasts have suffered losses on this array before, so they dare not attack directly. However, they have been harassing the small door factions and families attached to the Xuan Qing Gate near Tai Kang Mountain. It is precisely because of this that the Xuan Qing Gate cannot stand by and do nothing. Many of the disciples' resources in the major sects come from these immortal families and small sects. If they were gone, the foundation of the Xuan Qing Gate would be halved.

  Before leaving the mountain, Mo Tian Ge already knew about the war situation in this area of Xi Kun Wu. The main battlefield was at Luo Yan Cliff, where many immortal families and small sects had also moved to. From a distance, everyone saw that a large array had been set up on the cliff, with tents spread all over the inside of the array, almost covering the entire mountain.

  Su Xin Zhenren looked at the scene, frowning tightly, and stopped them outside the big formation. A patrol cultivator came over and saluted respectfully: "May I ask what is the Dao number of this senior from Xuan Qing Men?"

  Su Xin's true person's disciple stepped forward and replied: "My master's Taoist name is Su Xin, we have come to provide support under the orders of our sect."

  "Oh, it's Su Xin Zhenren after all. I'm afraid we didn't welcome you from afar. I'm Hong Yuan of the Upper Clearness Sect, currently in charge of patrolling Luoyan Cliff. Please show me your sect's token, and if there's any offense, please forgive me."

  Su Xin nodded slightly and took out a jade pendant.

  Hong Yuan personally confirmed and respectfully said: "Senior, please wait here for a moment. I will notify Ling Xi senior to activate the formation."

  Having obtained Su Xin's consent, Hong Yuan immediately sent a transmission talisman. Before long, a cultivator wearing the uniform of the Xuanqing Sect, accompanied by several disciples, came over and said with a smile: "Su Xin Shijie, you're here too."

  Su Xin Zhenren still had a cold face, but his eyes softened slightly: "Ling Xi Shidi, how is the situation?"

  The stranger had never seen this spiritual being before, but the person looked like a young man, and it seemed that he was also a talented person.

  Ling Xi Zhenren said, "Sister, please enter first. We'll talk about the details slowly." He led everyone into the formation and had his disciples arrange for these foundation-building cultivators, while he personally escorted Su Xin Zhenren to the main tent.

  Mo Tian Ge and Luo Feng Xue each listened to the arrangement without mentioning it, Su Xin Zhen Ren entered the account, and was stunned. In this large account, there were more than 20 cultivators sitting tightly, all of whom were cultivating Dan, most of whom belonged to the Xuan Qing Men, and some of whom were attached to the small door factions of the Xuan Qing Men.

  This is probably most of the cultivators from Xuan Qing Gate who participated in this battle. Gathering here, what are they going to do?

  "Suxin Shimei, you've also arrived!" Xuan Yin Zhenren sighed as he saw her. Including Suxin, Qingquan Peak had a total of seven Dan-forming cultivators, and four of them had already come. The other peaks were similarly represented, with about half of the Dan-forming cultivators of the Xuanqing Sect participating in this beast tide.

  Su Xin Zhenren sat down beside Xuan Yin Zhenren after exchanging greetings with everyone: "Elder brother Xuan Yin, what's the current situation?"

  Xuan Yin Zhen Ren shook his head: "A few days ago, several more fellow Taoists who had formed the elixir fell."

  "What?! Su Xinzi frowned and swept a glance around, there were seven or eight cultivators of the Xuan Qing Gate who were not present. "Where are Qing Yuan and Shou Jing?"

  Xuan Yin Zhen Ren said: "Qing Yuan Shidi has gone out on a mission, Shou Jing Shidi..."

  He paused for a moment, and Su Xin Zhenren hastily asked: "What's wrong?"

  "Shou Jing Shidi has gone missing." Xuan Yin Zhenren furrowed his brow, "A few days ago during the great battle, Shou Jing Shidi clashed with a 7th-stage Ming Guang Beast and hasn't been in contact since. Several other Jie Dan fellow cultivators have fallen, and some others have also lost their tracks. We are currently discussing this matter."

  "Missing..." Su Xin Zhenren shook his head, calmly saying, "Although the Seventh-Order Bright Light Beast is equivalent to the late stage of Qi Condensation, Gu Ding, the junior brother who guards the quiet, has always been clever and had an escape treasure, so he should be safe. It's likely that he was injured and hiding somewhere to recover."

  "I think so too." Xuan Yin Zhenren nodded, but his worried expression did not decrease. "However, the current situation is really not good, and Shou Jing Shi Di is outside, which makes me uneasy."

  Su Xin Zhenren nodded and after a while asked: "Xuan Yin Shixiong, how strong is the opponent? With so many Jiedan cultivators on our side, we can't even gain the upper hand?"

  Xuan Yin Zhen Ren heard this and bitterly smiled: "The other side has five or six seventh-grade demon beasts, plus a dozen sixth-grade and fifth-grade demon beasts. The number is more than us, and the cultivation is higher than ours...".

  "Is that all there is of the Seventh-Order Demon Beast?" Su Xinzi was shocked. A Seventh-Order Demon Beast was equivalent to a late-stage Golden Elixir cultivator, and among them, there were only a handful who had reached the late stage of Golden Elixir!

  "Not at all, it's very troublesome..." Xuan Yin Zhen Ren shook his head.

  "What!" Meng Tian Ge was shocked when he heard Luo Feng Xue's news in the temporary tent.

  Luo Fengxue continued: "I heard that Shou Jing Shu Shu was fighting a seventh-order demon beast, and then lost contact. It's been seven or eight days now."

  Moye stopped what he was doing and sat down: "Where's Qin Shixiong?"

  "...has also gone missing." Luofeng Xue glanced at her, "Don't worry, didn't you say no news is good news?"

  The stranger sat for a moment, then asked: "Have they found it?"

  "I've only heard that Qingyuan Shifu might have gone to look for Guoqingshifu, but there's no news yet, it's uncertain."

  Mò Tiān Gē stopped talking. She took a deep breath, but couldn't calm down, yet her rationality told her that there was nothing she could do to help, and getting anxious wouldn't be of any use either.

  She stood up, thought for a moment, and sat down again, repeating this process several times. Luo Fengxue couldn't bear to watch anymore: "Calm down, with Shou Jing Shifu's cultivation, nothing will happen."

  "I didn't say that, Master Shengu!" Mo Tian Ge closed her eyes, took a deep breath, but found it to be in vain. Her heart was still racing wildly, she wanted to rush out, but didn't know what to do.

  Luo Fengxue seemed lost in thought, gazing at her for a long time before suddenly asking: "Do you like Qin Shixiong?"

  Mo Tian Ge was taken aback, shaking his head: "No..."

  "What's the hurry?"

  "I... I'm just really worried..."

  "You don't like him, what are you worried about?" Luo Fengxue furrowed her brow and said seriously, "Tian Ge, I advise you, if you really have this thought, then put your heart at ease, he..."

  "I know!" Mo Tian Ge sat down suddenly, covering her face and said, "I admit I used to... But what you want to say, I already know. I can also swear that nowadays I don't have any wild thoughts, I just treat him as a friend. If it were Ye Da Ge or you who went missing today, I would be worried too!"

  Luofeng Xue fell silent for a moment, then let out a soft sigh: "Alright, I won't say any more. Although I think you probably don't know..."

  "What's going on?" As soon as she finished speaking, a voice came from outside, and then a woman lifted the curtain and stepped inside.

  "Big Sister!"

  Upon hearing Luo Fengxue's address, Mo Tian Ge lifted her head and saw Han Qingyu smiling at them. She quickly stood up: "Elder Sister Han."

  Han Qingyu is a gentle and elegant woman who looks approachable, although she's not particularly beautiful, but has a likable face, always smiling.

  Luo Fengxue rushed over and exclaimed in surprise: "Elder sister, are you alright?"

  "It's alright." Han Qing patted her head intimately, she was much older than Luo Fengxue, and according to worldly generation divisions, she could have been her elder aunt. She had watched Luo Fengxue grow up since childhood and treated her like a younger generation.

  After comforting Luo Fengxue, Han Qingyu turned his head and smiled at Mo Tian Ge: "Tian Ge, I haven't congratulated you on building your foundation yet. You must be tired from this journey?"

  Moy Tian smiled and said: "Thanks, Teacher Han. It's great that you're okay, we were all worried."

  Han Qing smiled and sat down, softly scolding Luo Fengxue: "Fengxue, don't speak carelessly like this in the future. There are many people here, you never know who might hear."

  Luofeng Xue nodded solemnly: "Understood, Senior Sister."

  Han Qing smiled and nodded, then turned to Mo Tian Ge and said: "I'll take a look at you guys and tell you about the current situation. Maybe you'll be facing the demon beast soon, so it's good for you to have some mental preparation."

  Didn't say it yesterday, thanks for the rewards from Lian Yun and 5,000 years of pounding. Today is 9/18, angry youth, don't forget national humiliation!
