Chapter 142: Support from All Sides, The Battle Begins

He knew of this Han Ting; since you have given this opportunity, you cannot blame me.

If I can capture this Han Ting, perhaps she will be of great use later.

"Which area has this Han Ting gone to support? I will send someone to see if there is an opportunity. If not, I will go take a look myself when the time comes."

Over at the Liangshui Sect, Meng Ping and his companion were sitting on the ground, waiting for death to arrive.

Both of them closed their eyes.

On the Demon Race side, a phantom image of a black Dragon appeared in the sky.

The Demon Clan member waved a large hand, and the black Dragon shadow lunged toward the two of them.

Just as the two were preparing to welcome the arrival of death, they realized the attack had not landed on them.

The two opened their eyes and discovered that Yu Xiao was blocking in front of them.

Meng Ping looked at Yu Xiao, who had returned before him.

"Why did you come back? Didn't I tell you to run away quickly?"

"Sect Master, I have brought people back. Our Sect is saved; I have brought people from the Profound Heaven Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect."

A long-lost smile appeared on Meng Ping's face; he hadn't expected them to actually hold out until support arrived.

Fortunately, Yu Xiao had encountered people from the Profound Heaven Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect.

If they had arrived any later, they wouldn't have seen them. This time, the two of them had managed to hold on.

But before he could say a second sentence, Yu Xiao was already struggling to withstand the attack from the Demon Clan member.

Meng Ping wanted to get up to help block, but his body was already unable to move, so he could only shout: "Watch out!"

Just as Yu Xiao was about to be overwhelmed and sent flying, Wei Yu flashed to her side to resist the Demon Clan member's attack together with her.

With Wei Yu's addition, the attack quickly dissipated.

The Demon Clan member above looked at the newcomers, not expecting that she had actually found people to provide support.

Now they were one person fewer than the other side in terms of numbers, and there might be others on the way; continuing like this would be very disadvantageous for them.

Fortunately, they could also call for support; crushing the Jade Slip transmitted the message into Chen An's hands.

Support had also been arriving in other places one after another, and they all sent messages to their people here, asking them to send support.

Chen An walked up to Jiang Cheng.

"Sect Master, we have received news. People from the Profound Heaven Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect are at the Liangshui Sect, and there will likely be more support arriving behind them."

"Good. Send four Nascent Soul Stage cultivators over to ambush them. As soon as the Nascent Soul Stage cultivators from the Profound Heaven Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect appear, we will give them a surprise."

"For other locations, just send a few Golden Core Stage cultivators to support. If it doesn't work, tell them to retreat."

"Send a Nascent Soul cultivator to Han Ting's side. If there is a problem over at Han Ting's, I will go take a look myself later."

"Understood, Sect Master."

Subsequently, Chen An dispatched people to various regions respectively.

The Demon Clan members at the Liangshui Sect looked down at the few people from the Myriad Swords Sect and the Profound Heaven Sect. "Just wait, do you think we don't have support too?"

It was just unclear how many Golden Core Stage cultivators the Sect would send.

It would be good if there were Nascent Soul Stage cultivators; they didn't know who the Sect would send to support them.

Regardless, they just needed to wait until they arrived.

These Demon Clan members didn't know about the plan Jiang Cheng and the others had, which was to use them to lure out the people from the Myriad Swords Sect and the Profound Heaven Sect.

At the Celestial Maiden Sect, those at the Golden Core Stage would not easily come out during this period.

If they came out, they would become the primary targets of the Demon Clan members.

Therefore, it was necessary at this time to first weaken the combat power of the Profound Heaven Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect, as these two Sects were quite troublesome.

As for the other Sects, they were easier to deal with, especially the Spirit Sea Sect, where they already had quite a few internal agents.

Another one was the Joyful Union Sect; this Sect's combat power was not very strong, so there was no need to take it to heart.

Wei Yu looked at the two injured people: "You take them both to the back first; we will deal with them for now."

Upon seeing this, Yu Xiao hurriedly took Meng Ping and the other person away from the center of the battlefield.

After settling the two of them, Yu Xiao returned to the battle. She would not let it end like this; these Demon Clan members had trampled all over their Sect.

She wanted to fight alongside them and keep these Demon Clan members here.

The battle on both sides was on the verge of breaking out, and in terms of numbers, their side now held the advantage.

Moreover, the people from the Profound Heaven Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect were not people to be trifled with.

Su Yu also knew what was happening over there while he was in the courtyard; he was just watching the events unfolding in the distance from within the courtyard.

He could now completely find all the Demon Clan members in the Southern Region; he didn't even need to leave the courtyard, as he could wipe them out using the Illusory World Eye, not to mention his swordsmanship.

However, he would not intervene and affect the path this world was supposed to take.

If he solved every danger as soon as it appeared, it might not necessarily be a good thing for this world; it might even spawn a greater catastrophe.

If he were not in the Southern Region when the time came, what would happen to this Southern Region? Would it just head toward destruction?

The key was that someone could resolve this catastrophe; if there was truly no other way, he would consider the next step.

At the very least, once Ye Lin resolved this catastrophe, it was estimated that there wouldn't be any major catastrophes for a long time.

He would not break the balance of this Southern Region, as doing so might cause his peaceful days to disappear as a result.

When this world produced a catastrophe, it would also give birth to the corresponding person to face the tribulation, and that Ye Lin was the one to face the tribulation; this catastrophe was his to resolve.

It was not for him to intervene. He would participate, but only limited to participating under his superficial identity.

He would provide a safety net for the Southern Region, but he would not easily take action unless it was a crisis that would destroy the Southern Region.

Over at the Celestial Maiden Sect, Yue Xin also found Ling Wanqing.

When the two stood together, one truly understood what it meant by "how dare fireflies compete with the sun and moon for brilliance."

Seeing Yue Xin approach, Ling Wanqing did not know what matter she had come to find her for this time.

"Sect Master, what is the matter that you have come to find me for this time? Is it because of the Demon Race?"

Yue Xin nodded. "That's right. Wanqing, I also know your personality and the life you desire."

"You basically never leave the Celestial Maiden Sect, but you also know about the recent Demon Race affairs. The Demon Clan members will sooner or later attack our Sect."

"I hope you will also be prepared when the time comes; after all, you are one of the few at the Soul Transformation Stage among us, and you have even reached the Late Stage of Spirit Transformation."

"It's just a pity that you have only taken in one Disciple; otherwise, with your ability, you could have cultivated more Disciples."

Ling Wanqing looked at Yue Xin. "Having one Disciple is enough for me. You also know the life I yearn for."

Yue Xin sighed helplessly.

Ling Wanqing was truly too perfect; her cultivation and appearance were nothing short of perfection within perfection. However, being too perfect could also lead to flaws. Originally, Ling Wanqing used to go out often.

But her appearance had brought her too much trouble, leading her to basically stop going out later on.

To sum it up in one sentence: she was just staying low-profile.

Ling Wanqing had now become very low-profile; she basically didn't go out unless necessary, and even when she did go out, she would ensure she was well-disguised.
