Chapter 138: Celestial Maiden Sect Master, Yue Xin

Yue Xin arrived at the Profound Heaven Sect. High in the air, Su Yu observed the Peak Transformation Stage figure who had suddenly appeared—a woman.

If Su Yu guessed correctly, this had to be the Sect Master of the Celestial Maiden Sect; after all, she was still wearing the attire of the Celestial Maiden Sect.

Although he had never met her, given her cultivation level and the timing of her arrival at the Profound Heaven Sect, it could only be her.

The Celestial Maiden Sect Master's aura was truly distinct, possessing the air of someone who had held a high position for a long time. As for her appearance, it went without saying—there were few in the Celestial Maiden Sect who were not beautiful, let alone their Sect Master.

Su Yu noted her mature and intellectual appearance and aura; she was, in every sense, a peerless beauty.

In the Southern Region, she was on par with the Qingqiu Clan Soul Transformation Cultivator he had previously encountered in the Ten Thousand Demon Forest.

Among all the women Su Yu had ever seen, she could easily rank in the top three. Truly, the Celestial Maiden Sect Master was a cut above the rest.

No one else had noticed the arrival of the Celestial Maiden Sect Master.

Su Yu could tell that the Celestial Maiden Sect Master was likely here to see their Sect Master; after all, the three Sects shared a good relationship, and the Celestial Maiden Sect was particularly close with their Profound Heaven Sect.

Many Disciples of the Profound Heaven Sect had become Dao Companions with members of the Celestial Maiden Sect.

This was not limited to Disciples; some Elders had also become Dao Companions with Elders from their Profound Heaven Sect.

There were also less common instances of Elders and Disciples becoming Dao Companions; such things did occur, though they were rare.

Su Yu guessed the purpose of the Celestial Maiden Sect Master's visit; she was certainly there to discuss matters regarding the Demon Clan members, especially since the Demon Clan members had recently taken to targeting women with high cultivation levels.

There was no doubt that the members of her Celestial Maiden Sect were the primary targets of the Demon Clan members.

In the Southern Region, there was no group that fit the Demon Race's criteria better than the Celestial Maiden Sect.

Su Yu shook his head and did not linger any longer.

He flashed and vanished from the vicinity of the Profound Heaven Sect.

Yue Xin found Qi Liang. Seeing her arrival, Qi Liang said little, and in the next second, both appeared in the small pavilion where they had previously discussed matters.

At this moment, the Sect Master of the Myriad Swords Sect also arrived.

Seeing the Sect Master of the Myriad Swords Sect arrive, Yue Xin spoke first: "You are already aware of the situation with the Demon Race; this time, they are specifically targeting women with higher cultivation levels."

"Such a situation has never occurred before. While they have captured women from this side in the past, it was never to this extent. It seems there may be some hidden agenda on the part of the Demon Race this time."

Why they would capture female Cultivators with high cultivation levels was something they could not fathom; could they be practicing some Forbidden Art?

Qi Liang looked at the two of them. "We cannot guess their reasons for now, but this operation indicates that the Demon Race has made preparations, and we must intensify our defenses."

The burden on their shoulders was growing heavier.

We won the last War between Immortals and Demons, and we must win this time as well; we cannot lose face for the people of our Southern Region.

Yue Xin and the other nodded. "Indeed. Although the Demon Clan members may pose a threat to us this time, we do not fear them."

"In our Celestial Maiden Sect, several Peak Masters have already achieved a Breakthrough to the Soul Transformation Stage, so our combat power has increased significantly."

Furthermore, their Sect still held their final trump card.

Qi Liang nodded as well. "My pressure has lessened considerably this time. Ye Lin from our Sect is about to reach the Peak Transformation Stage, and I can no longer match his current combat power."

"His attainments in the Dao of the sword are truly terrifying. He is already invincible at the Soul Transformation Stage; once he reaches the Peak Transformation Stage, he will be able to contend with those at the Void Refinement Stage."

The two were astonished upon hearing this. They knew Ye Lin was formidable, but they had not expected that even though his cultivation had not surpassed theirs, his combat power had already far exceeded that of the three Sect Masters.

After all, the three of them were of a similar caliber.

The three of them often sparred together, so the emergence of someone like Ye Lin was a silver lining in these unfortunate times.

The Sect Master of the Myriad Swords Sect also spoke, "The Innate Sword Body in our Sect is not lacking either; I am no longer his match. This War between Immortals and Demons will be their stage."

Yue Xin replied, "The Water Spirit Body in our Sect is slightly inferior to yours."

"Very well. The Demon Clan members are coming, and they will certainly take action. We must make timely preparations for any sudden incidents."

"We must also dispatch more personnel to stand guard, striving to stop them before their next move."

Qi Liang looked at Yue Xin. "Right, you must pay extra attention to the Innate Furnace Body in your Sect; the Demon Clan members have likely already set their sights on her."

"I am aware. She basically does not leave the Sect now, and I will keep an eye on her situation while I am there. If any Demon Clan members appear, they will not be able to escape."

"As long as she does not leave the Sect, she will be safe. Furthermore, her master, Elder Bai, is always protecting her, so there is no need to be overly concerned."

"That is good."

After finishing their conversation, the three left the area. They needed to begin their strategizing; they could not afford to be too passive and needed to devise a plan to lure out some of the Demon Clan members.

Su Yu arrived at the Cloud Sea Forest and discovered that there was no trace of any Demon Clan member's aura, and the people here remained unaffected.

Their pace of life continued as usual, as if they had never heard any news about the Demon Clan members.

Unexpectedly, the vicinity of the Cloud Sea Forest had become a safe haven; even the Demon Clan members dared not come here.

Although the Cloud Sea Forest was a Forbidden Land and many felt that living near it would lead to trouble, it now appeared to be the best safe haven. The Demon Clan members were very wary of the Cloud Sea Forest, and now that some people had realized this, the population in the area had clearly increased compared to before.

A small city had even emerged here, named Cloud Sea City.

The name was taken from the first two characters of Cloud Sea Forest, apparently hoping to rely on these two characters to provide shelter for the people within.

Su Yu looked down. Although life here was comfortable, it was not the same for everyone; the Cultivators were fine, but it was different for the Mortals.

He could still see some Mortals walking into the Cloud Sea Forest.

Suddenly having an idea, Su Yu transformed into a Mortal and approached a Mortal who was preparing to walk into the Cloud Sea Forest.

In the eyes of others, Su Yu now wore a look of utter despair, appearing as someone who wished to enter the Cloud Sea Forest to lose himself in its illusions.

The man looked at Su Yu, who had appeared behind him, and seemed to think he was someone just like himself—someone who had likely suffered some misfortune.
