Chapter 218: The Current Situation of All Parties

Ling Wanqing looked up at the sky; this War between Immortals and Demons was bound to end eventually.

Her cultivation had already reached the Peak Transformation Stage.

Wanting to advance further to the Void Refinement Stage in a short period was impossible.

Ling Wanqing knew that days of such superficial calm would likely continue for some time.

The current Southern Region was merely the calm before the storm.

At this moment, Ling Wanqing sensed that Yue Xin was heading toward her.

Yue Xin arrived in Ling Wanqing's courtyard.

Ling Wanqing watched Yue Xin arrive and said, "Sect Master, you've come. Is there something you need to find me for?"

Yue Xin smiled and said, "Can I not come see you if there isn't anything the matter?"

Ling Wanqing laughed, "Sect Master, I would certainly welcome you whenever you wish to come."

Yue Xin sat down beside Ling Wanqing. "Sigh, the final battle is coming, and the situation in the Southern Region is becoming increasingly tense."

"Everyone in the Southern Region is paying attention to this final battle."

"The fall of a Void Refinement Stage cultivator some time ago has made many people worried. With the Demon Race having such a powerful Void Refinement Stage cultivator, what are we to do on our side?"

"It took three of our Void Refinement Stage cultivators to repel that Demon Race Void Refining cultivator, and one of ours was even taken away."

"That member of the Demon Race is truly unfathomably strong. It is normal for people in the Southern Region to feel this way; seeing such a powerful person, it is inevitable that they would feel like this."

"If our Sect's Old Ancestor hadn't arrived in time, the Myriad Swords Sect's Old Ancestor might have been left behind at the scene."

"Fortunately, they arrived in time to provide support, only then managing to barely repel the person from the Demon Race."

"But this battle also allowed us to witness the strength of that Demon Race Void Refining cultivator."

"This battle might be even more formidable than we imagined. Who knows what other figures on the Demon Race side have yet to appear?"

"Fortunately, we also have existences on our side who have yet to appear: another Old Ancestor from the Myriad Swords Sect, and another Old Ancestor from the Profound Heaven Sect."

"The Sword Immortal Jiang of the Profound Heaven Sect, as well as that individual from the Myriad Swords Sect, are both ruthless characters who make people shudder."

"They are also our trump cards."

Ling Wanqing had heard Yue Xin speak of those few people before.

Ling Wanqing looked at Yue Xin, who was clearly much more haggard during this period.

Ling Wanqing began to brew tea for Yue Xin.

"When you have time, you can come over to my place more often to relax. If it really comes down to it, I can also help share some of your pressure."

Upon hearing this, Yue Xin said, "Wanqing, you really understand me. But I am fine. As the Sect Master of the Celestial Maiden Sect, I have my responsibilities to bear."

"Wanqing, you don't need to worry about anything. When the time comes, you will also be one of our Sect's hidden trump cards."

Ling Wanqing nodded.

"By the way, the main reason I came this time was to talk to you about matters regarding the Demon Race. We have some new intelligence on our side."

"Those people from the Demon Race who like to abduct high-cultivation female cultivators have started becoming active again recently."

"And Liu Qinghe from the Profound Heaven Sect and her group encountered them at that time; it was the person who had once fought against the Myriad Swords Sect's Innate Sword Body."

"This person's strength is extremely formidable. I feel that in this final battle, their target will definitely be us."

"We must also prepare ourselves. Furthermore, you should slightly remind your Disciple to be more careful when she goes out."

"If she encounters that person from the Demon Race, I estimate your Disciple would not be a match for that Demon Race member."

Ling Wanqing nodded. "I understand. I have also given Ruyan something to save her life; as long as it is activated, I will know where her location is."

After hearing this, Yue Xin said, "That is good. Ruyan is a rare Genius within our Sect."

"It is just a pity that the Innate Furnace Body appeared too late."

"The people from the Demon Race will certainly have designs on her when the time comes. She hasn't grown up yet; not only the Demon Race, but people on our side might also develop bad ideas."

"The temptation of this Innate Furnace Body is simply too great. We cannot let any accidents happen to her. If she falls into the hands of the Demon Race, then the trouble will be immense."

Ling Wanqing picked up the tea she had just brewed and poured a cup for Yue Xin. "The Demon Race hasn't made any major moves for now. We can only rely on the time we have now to make more preparations."

"That is correct; we can only do this. I have already arranged quite a few plans targeting the Demon Race; when the time comes, we will just wait for the Demon Race to take the bait."

Afterwards, Ling Wanqing and Yue Xin chatted for a while before parting ways.

Yue Xin looked at Ling Wanqing and said, "It is still most peaceful coming to your place. I will be going now."

Ling Wanqing waved to Yue Xin.

On Su Yu's side, the people from the Celestial Maiden Sect had already arrived at the Restaurant.

At this moment, everyone had gathered.

Su Yu and the others all took their seats one after another.

Zhao Hua of the Myriad Swords Sect saw that everyone had arrived and shouted, "Waiter, you can serve the dishes. Also, bring all the good wine you have in your shop."

"Coming right up, sir! I will serve you right away."

Before long, the waiter brought the wine over. "Gentlemen, this is the best wine in our shop; I have brought it all for you."

"The dishes you ordered will still need some time, so we have served these appetizers for you."

Zhao Hua heard this and said, "Good, you can just leave them here for now."

"Alright then, sir. I won't disturb you any further. Please enjoy your meal."

After the waiter left.

Zhao Hua began to pour wine for everyone.

After Zhao Hua finished pouring the wine for everyone, he said, "Everyone, it is rare for us to gather like this. We are all friends who met while fighting against the Demon Race."

"It can be said that we are friends who have shared life and death. We have fought together for quite some time and understand each other relatively well."

"Although we present here are not any famous Prodigies, we also have our own ideals and our own ambitions."

"We do not have the dazzling battle records and strength of those Prodigies; in the vast sea of beings in the War between Immortals and Demons, we are merely some inconspicuous existences."

"But we have also made quite a few contributions to this War between Immortals and Demons. When we win this War between Immortals and Demons, we will be one of the strokes in the history of this War between Immortals and Demons."

"We are also people who have experienced the War between Immortals and Demons."

"I propose a toast to everyone here. We will definitely be able to achieve victory in the War between Immortals and Demons, and everyone present will definitely be able to survive the great battle."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yang and the others all raised their wine cups and stood up.

Su Yu was the same. Su Yu raised the wine cup in his hand, stood up, and like everyone else, drank it all in one gulp.

Su Yu looked at everyone; this was the norm for a Passerby; no one knew them.

And no one would care about their group.

In ordinary times, their cultivation could actually be said to be quite respectable.

Occasionally, they could even attract a little attention.

But right now, that was not the case.

After Zhao Hua finished the wine, he said, "As expected, it's the same old taste; drinking this wine is truly satisfying."

Su Yu, on the other hand, also felt that this wine was quite good; it could be said to be a rare wine.

Before long, the waiter had served all the dishes.
