Chapter 215: Jiang Xue

Leng Jiahang and the others, who had already returned to the Sect, stood before Qi Liang.

Seeing that they were quite heavily injured, Qi Liang asked, "What happened to you all?"

"I heard from people at the Mad Blade Sect that the three of you did not appear in that battle. Did you encounter some unexpected trouble?"

Liu Qinghe replied, "We encountered a Demon Race Cultivator at the Soul Transformation Stage."

"It was the same Demon Clan member who had previously fought against the Myriad Swords Sect's Innate Sword Body."

Upon hearing this, Qi Liang realized he knew of this Demon Clan member.

His strength was immense; the vast majority of those at the Soul Transformation Stage were simply no match for him.

He was also an existence who possessed a Domain. In Qi Liang's eyes, this Demon Clan member was extremely troublesome; even he might not be a match for Jiang Cheng.

"I didn't expect you to run into him. Fortunately, you all returned safely."

Liu Qinghe said, "Initially, I was the one in danger. I was simply no match for that Demon Clan member."

"Fortunately, Leng Jiahang arrived in the end. He happened to be passing by and brought Wu Xiaofeng to provide support."

"The two of them joined forces to buy me time to recover. If they had been any later, it would have been over."

"In the end, the three of us managed to barely drive that Demon Clan member back. He seemed very cautious."

Qi Liang replied, "It is good that you are unharmed. The three of you are the pillars of our Profound Heaven Sect. This was extremely perilous, and there were so few people in that area."

"If any other Soul Transformation Stage Cultivators had gone to support you, they might have all perished there."

After pondering for a moment, Liu Qinghe said, "Aren't there rumors that some of the Demon Race like to capture our high-cultivation female Cultivators?"

"This Demon Clan member might be one of them. I could feel that he wanted to capture me alive."

"When I was fighting him, he kept holding back because he was afraid I would die. This is also the reason why I was able to wait for Leng Jiahang and the others to arrive."

"I utilized this point to entangle with that Demon Clan member for quite some time."

After listening, Qi Liang thought for a moment and said, "Alright, I understand."

Liu Qinghe and the others greeted Qi Liang, "Sect Master, we will return to recuperate first. I estimate the next battle won't be far off."

Qi Liang looked at them, "Good, go back first. I will handle the matters that follow."

Qi Liang knew that the Demon Race's behavior of targeting high-cultivation female Cultivators had decreased some time ago.

But recently, it had suddenly increased again, and this time, they had even set their sights on our Profound Heaven Sect's Liu Qinghe.

He needed to carefully study a countermeasure.

Qi Liang knew the final battle was coming, and he could not afford any mistakes.

He had to plan carefully, just like they did a thousand years ago when they were able to repel the Demon Race and win the War between Immortals and Demons.

This time, they would also be victorious, perhaps even surpassing their previous achievements.

A thousand years ago, there was no one like Ye Lin, but now they had him.

Qi Liang looked up at the sky; this battle had ended.

Although the Mad Blade Sect had held their ground, the losses caused by the battle were immeasurable.

The Mad Blade Sect was likely already preparing their next strategy. Since the Old Ancestor of the Mad Blade Sect was still around, he didn't know what the Mad Blade Sect's next move would be.

After the people from the original Eight Great Sects were settled, they understood that the next target would be their three Sects.

Many people had already begun to flock toward them after they were settled.

Everyone was preparing for this great battle.

Meanwhile, the Heavenly Martial Sect had suffered heavy losses. Although they had managed to kill a Void Refining Demon Race member on their side…

…the Demon Race had also killed The Old Ancestor of Tianwu Sect. The fall of the Heavenly Martial Sect's Void Refining Old Ancestor was very bad news for them.

Furthermore, the Old Ancestor of Myriad Swords Sect had sustained quite serious injuries at this time and would not recover that quickly.

Fortunately, the Old Ancestor of Myriad Swords Sect was safe.

Otherwise, this battle would have lost yet another Void Refining stage powerhouse.

Fortunately, the Old Ancestor of Celestial Maiden Sect arrived at that time, preventing the worst outcome.

The two of them joined forces and finally drove that Demon Race member back.

That Void Refining Demon Race member was truly difficult to deal with; it took three Old Ancestors to drive him back.

Qi Liang looked toward the ancestral grounds in the rear, "Old Ancestor, everything will depend on you when the time comes."

He then turned his head to look in the direction of Ye Lin, "And you, you must reach the Void Refining Realm."

"Let your name spread across every region."

Within the ancestral grounds of the Profound Heaven Sect, Zhou Yangzi and Jiang Xue were discussing the detailed intelligence from outside.

Jiang Xue looked at Zhou Yangzi, "I didn't expect that an old bag of bones like you could still slay a Void Refining Demon Race member."

"That goes without saying. Although I am old, my strength has not regressed. If I don't stretch my muscles and bones, people might really think I'm old."

"It is just a pity about The Old Ancestor of Tianwu Sect. If I recall correctly, we even fought together back in the day."

"In the end, he still fell during the War between Immortals and Demons."

"I didn't expect the Demon Race to have such a ruthless character. We are very familiar with that old fellow from the Myriad Swords Sect; it took him and the Old Ancestor of Celestial Maiden Sect combined to barely drive that Demon Race member back."

"That Void Refining Demon Race member is not simple. I heard from the Old Ancestor of Celestial Maiden Sect that he is about to reach the Refining Void Late Stage."

"He is likely staying in these regions just for this great battle."

Zhou Yangzi saw that Jiang Xue seemed to be thinking about something.

"What is it? You will be the one holding off this Demon Race member when the time comes. With your ability, I estimate that dealing with that Void Refining Demon Race member shouldn't be too difficult, right?"

Jiang Xue shook her head, "That Demon Race member will be left to me when the time comes. I will deal with him."

"Good, we must also be prepared. The final target of the Demon Race is us. Is the situation from a thousand years ago going to play out again?"

"No matter how many times the Demon Race army comes, the result of this War between Immortals and Demons will be the same: we will be victorious."

Jiang Xue looked at Zhou Yangzi, "Besides this, we have one more variable. Everything will depend on him when the time comes. The Demon Race might not be as simple as that."

Zhou Yangzi nodded, "That's correct. It is a pity that this battle didn't allow that kid Ye Lin to have a Breakthrough. Ye Lin is ultimately still lacking a bit of seasoning; this is likely due to his cultivation time being too short."

Without a doubt, looking throughout history, Ye Lin stood among the top tier of people.

Unexpectedly, after so long, one has appeared within our Sect.

As long as he can achieve a Breakthrough to the Void Refining Realm in the final battle, everything will not be a problem.

At this moment, Ye Lin stood high above the mountain peak. This battle had given him quite a harvest, and he understood his own shortcomings even more clearly.

No wonder Brother Ling said he was still lacking a bit of seasoning.

Ye Lin could now see the barrier that was on the verge of shattering.

Once this barrier completely shattered, he would be able to step into the Void Refining Realm.

Qingling looked at Ye Lin, "That's right. This hurdle cannot stop you, Xiao Linzi."

"You are destined to be an existence who achieves a Breakthrough to the Void Refining Stage. If you cannot even break through this minor Void Refining Stage, how could you have the ability to achieve Ascension and Immortal Ascension?"

"The final battle is coming. Come, all of this will become your stepping stones."
