"Greetings, Holy Daughter!"
The crowd of followers from the Yellow Springs Sect heard the words ’Holy Daughter’ and were all excited, bowing their heads in reverence, not daring to raise them.
According to the teachings of the Yellow Springs Sect, the Holy Daughter is the designated spokesperson of the supre existence revered by the sect. She is shrouded in a sacred aura and enjoys supre authority.
In the sect, her status is only slightly below the Sect Hierarch and above all the elders.
The rarity of the Holy Daughter is unparalleled, preferring none than diocrity.
It had been nearly a millennium since the last Holy Daughter appeared.
Therefore, the followers were very excited, feeling that they were witnessing history.
"All of you are the elite of our sect, who have given all your efforts and devoted yourselves to the sect. Please rise..."
A voice like a spring breeze sounded.
An invisible energy seed to spread out, invigorating the followers, making their physical fatigue vanish.
’Indeed, the abilities of the Holy Daughter are extraordinary...’
This filled them with even more awe, making them even less willing to look directly at her.
Of course, Su Yu was among the few exceptions.
He was never a devout believer.
He had joined Yellow Springs out of necessity, entering the sect solely with the intention of strengthening his own power, always disdainful of the so-called teachings.
Unlike the other bowing followers, he quietly raised his head and found that the Holy Daughter was also looking over.
Although she wore a veil, her beautiful and bright eyes were like stars in the sky, not belonging to this world, seemingly able to see through his thoughts.
Frightened, Su Yu quickly lowered his head, cold sweat pouring down.
He then heard the ethereal voice of the Holy Daughter.
"The Corpse-Driving Sect is in conflict with Cyan Wolf Ridge, and although both sides are rely having small skirmishes now, a big battle is inevitable sooner or later."
"In tis of great strife and chaos, it is a perfect opportunity for us, the Yellow Springs Sect, to rise."
"You all should quickly head to the border cities of the Zhao Kingdom, gather intelligence, and take action at the right ti... If a conflict breaks out in the rear of the Corpse-Driving Sect, they will find themselves in a dire situation. The more chaotic it gets, the more advantageous it is for our sect..."
After she finished speaking, all the followers present respectfully responded, none daring to voice any objections.
Yet the Holy Daughter said no more, her starlike eyes scanning the surroundings as if searching for sothing.
The elder beside her seed to understand her intentions and loudly said, "The Holy Daughter is new to the southern part of Zhao Kingdom and needs a familiar guide. Who among you is willing..."
"I’ll guide the Holy Daughter; I’ve been working in this area for over a decade!"
"Let do it, I’ve been growing up here, and no one knows this place better than ."
"I’ll do it, I’ll do it!"
Everyone eagerly volunteered, scrambling to be first.
It was nothing short of a divine opportunity.
If they could gain the favor of the Holy Daughter, wouldn’t they stride through the sect without a hitch in the future?
Su Yu was also very tempted, but realizing his cultivation was only at the Qi Cultivation Middle Stage, not outstanding among everyone else, he hesitated.
In addition to his hidden secrets.
If the Holy Daughter discovered he was working for outsiders... The Yellow Springs Sect’s punishnt for traitors was utterly terrifying, just thinking about it made him shiver.
Hence, Su Yu didn’t compete but stood by, observing the situation.
"You two,"
The Holy Daughter finally selected two individuals.
These two showed a flicker of white light on them, and they involuntarily stepped out from the crowd.
To Su Yu’s astonishnt, he was selected!
He moved forward uncontrollably.
"Aren’t you going to thank the Holy Daughter for her grace?" the elder scolded.
Su Yu and the other late-stage male cultivator hurriedly bowed to express their gratitude.
He was terrified yet had a hint of gleeful anticipation.
Might fortune finally be smiling upon him?
’With the assistance of the Holy Daughter, could he eliminate that damned oppressor?’ Su Yu couldn’t help but wonder.
As the fortunate ones chosen, the two followed the Holy Daughter out of the vast underground space, moving through a labyrinth of subterranean corridors, going deeper.
Two elders from the sect still guarded the Holy Daughter closely.
In close proximity, Su Yu noticed the Holy Daughter’s ethereal presence was even more pronounced, as if she constantly emitted a faint glow, much like a celestial being descended to the mortal realm.
He dared not glance any further, keeping his head down respectfully.
Suddenly.
An ethereal voice sounded in Su Yu’s mind.
"You have a scent familiar to ..."
’What does that an?’
Su Yu shuddered.
Was his betrayal discovered?
Just as he struggled over whether to confess, the voice failed to reappear.
...
Corpse-Driving Sect, Feishi Peak.
"Two more cities have been surrounded by the Demon Clan, a total of fifteen cities have entered a state of war..."
"Qiu Shaojie arrived at Jiaocheng and fought with a Demon General that attacked the city, defeating it after several hours of battle and stabilizing the situation!"
"A High-tier Demon General appeared unexpectedly in Fucheng, and its cultivation is no less than late Foundation Establishnt. The sect has decided to send strong elders for support, but it’s uncertain who that will be."
Around the Task Hall, many disciples were gathered, actively inquiring about the latest battlefield updates.
Within the Task Hall, high-tier communication tokens that connect with various cities were placed, allowing for real-ti ssage transmission.
In more remote places where there were no high-tier communication tokens, a bird of prey known as the Black Eagle was used for ssage delivery.
The Black Eagle is about the size of a child, its feathers glossy like oiled, with golden eyes that are lively and intelligent, able to carry letters over a thousand miles.
Overall, the situation on the battlefield was still relatively stable.
Under the leadership of Foundation Establishnt Elders and disciples providing support, not a single city had yet been breached.
But everyone knew that the Demon Clan’s attacks would only grow fiercer with ti.
Most crucial, according to reliable news, the attackers belonged to other tribes of Cyan Wolf Ridge, ones the Wolf Demons intended to eradicate initially.
Now, not only do they avoid taking action, but they also deplete the Human Race’s power, a dual benefit.
This caused the Corpse-Driving Sect’s mbers to sigh, marveling at the cunning of the Wolf Demons.
Lou Yi had not yet participated in the sect’s city defense tasks.
The current situation wasn’t yet critical; the sect’s power was adequate to cope for the ti being.
Lou Yi aid to enhance his strength as much as possible to handle the terrifying Demon Clan possibly appearing later on.
Having ford Gāngqi, his current strength undoubtedly belonged to the Foundation Establishnt level.
Foundation Establishnt is divided into Initial, Middle, and Late stages, with each phase having significant power gaps.
If engaged closely, Lou Yi was confident in suppressing a Middle Foundation Establishnt.
At a distance, his current strength was at the level of a typical Initial Foundation Establishnt.
In Martial Arts, talents, and as a Body Cultivator, he relied purely on daily accumulation of proficiency, yet had no information on crucial items.
In Magic Cultivation, however, there were aspects that could be enhanced, particularly Arrays.
Arrays are the most typical thod in the Cultivation Realm, allowing the weak to overco the strong.
Previously, Lou Yi had employed the Nine Palaces Array obtained from the Li Family’s ancestor, altering the course of battles several tis.
However, Arrays are considered a niche in the Cultivation Realm, with few practitioners.
This is due to two major reasons.
First, the principles of Arrays are too complex, requiring high spiritual sense strength, which filters out the majority.
The crafting of Array Maps, the drawing of Array Patterns, the integration of Array Bases, and the control of Arrays all demand imnse comprehension and strong spiritual sense, many can’t even start in a lifeti.
Second, Arrays consu a significant amount of resources, with Array Maps of the sa tier costing not two or three but over ten tis more than Magical Artifacts.
Not to ntion all the constructible Array Bases, and Array Eyes for reinforcent—all require investnt.
High difficulty and high investnt with little return initially make Array practitioners even rarer than Pill, Symbol, or Artifact Masters in the Cultivation Realm.
