Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 461 Joint Efforts to Repel Demonic Cultivators
Shen Youqing and Jiang Hanying drank two cups of tea and then went to draw talismans.

As the sun set, the enticing aroma of food wafted through the air, and Jiang Hanying twitched her nose.

smell good!
In that moment of distraction, the talisman paper under his hand spontaneously combusted.

Seeing that the talisman paper in Jiang Hanying's hand suddenly burst into flames, Shen Youqing said directly, "Eat first, and continue drawing talismans after you finish eating."

Jiang Hanying had long been captivated by the fragrance, and upon hearing this, she immediately put down her talisman brush and looked at Shen Youqing with a sweet and adorable expression, "I'll do whatever Senior Sister Youqing says!"

When Xiao Ke brought out the food, he saw the two of them already sitting there waiting.

After the meal, Jiang Hanying used her spiritual power to clean up the dishes and then went to draw talismans.

Jiang Xuan'an, who was patrolling the front peak, did not return all night. No one came to rouse Jiang Hanying. She and Shen Youqing spent the whole night drawing talismans, while Xiao Ke could only go to the side to refine pills to pass the time.

The morning sunlight shone on her, and Jiang Hanying, who had exhausted countless spiritual energies, felt somewhat tired.

"Go back and rest."

Jiang Hanying, who wished she could sleep for three days and three nights, nodded, packed her things, and left.

Xiao Ke swatted away the camellias that the dog was sneaking up at him, got up and walked toward Shen Youqing.

Seeing that Shen Youqing also looked tired, he softened his cold voice and asked, "Have something to eat before you rest?"

Shen Youqing nodded, but seeing the camellia with a split center behind the flute, he mischievously refrained from pointing it out.

Xiao Ke seemed to have eyes in the back of his head. He slapped away the double-petaled red camellia that was trying to sneak up on him, and then walked towards the kitchen.

Looking at the camellia tree that was raging helplessly, Shen Youqing shook his head.

It's both bad at the game and loves to play; that's the perfect description.

After eating, Shen Youqing went to rest in the room.

Unaware that chaos had broken out in the main hall, Shen Youqing was still fast asleep.

-

The five sect leaders and several family heads gathered together, along with many other sects and families.

The huge hall was completely packed.

"Who exactly sent Shen Youqing to the Expeditionary City!" Shen Lin squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.

He finally managed to get her out of the Shen family, thinking that Shen Youqing wouldn't cause any trouble since she was far away from Zhongzhou City. But who knew she would turn around and go to Yuanzheng City, and then Yuanzheng City disappeared from the map!
Of course, this is one of the reasons why they gathered here!

Zhang Youli spoke expressionlessly, "Please be careful, Patriarch Shen, that place is now the ruins of Expedition City."

Shen Lin: ...

Yue Hehua's face was gentle and mild. "It's probably because of Azhu. Azhu was assassinated, and Jinjin is holding a grudge."

Shen Lin leaned back in her chair, feeling that she needed a quick-acting heart medicine.

Does holding your breath mean you have to raze the expedition city to the ground?
She ran away so gracefully after hitting him, leaving the Shen family with a huge mess!
She threw all the cultivators from Expedition City into the home of a collateral branch of the Shen family, and that unlucky old man's elder from that branch kept crying to him!

Thinking of this, Shen Lin's face grew even more weary.

"You all must be aware of the news released by the Demon Lord, right?" the Xiao family head said unhurriedly.

"Either we offer up Shen Youqing to end the war, or they slaughter the cultivation world." After saying this, Zhang Youli's expression turned quite cold.

"Offering Venerable Shen is absolutely impossible!"

"Venerable Shen possesses the Mysterious Maiden Diagram and the Chaos Pearl, and she also has a divine sword. The Demon Realm desires Venerable Shen; their intentions are utterly despicable!"

"But if we don't offer up Venerable Shen, what will happen when countless lives are lost?"

These words left many present speechless, causing them to roll their eyes. "Are you out of your mind? You don't actually think offering up Venerable Shen will stop the war, do you?! Zizhou City has already been massacred! Massacred!!!"

"Stop the war? Stop the war my ass! The Demon Realm has already massacred cities and provoked the cultivation world! I'd rather die fighting than live a life of misery!"

……

There were those who advocated for war and those who wanted to stop the war and negotiate peace. The hall was instantly thrown into chaos by the argument.

The five sect leaders and eight family heads, sitting upright, seemed to be watching a farce.

By the time this group of people had argued until their throats were dry, it was getting late.

Of course, after arguing for almost a whole day, it finally came to an end.

"After a fairly harmonious discussion, I believe everyone has reached a consensus," Zhang Youli, pushed forward by his friends, announced loudly, "Let's unite to repel the demonic cultivators!"

The head of the Yue family, one of the most prestigious of the eight families, spoke up, "The Shen family, the Fifth family, and the Duanmu family will be stationed in Zhongzhou City. The other five families will join forces with the five sects to lead everyone in defeating the demonic cultivators!"

Zhang Youli spoke coldly: "I only hope that everyone will cooperate, after all, this is a critical moment for the survival of the cultivation world."

"Where is Venerable Shen?"

I don't know who asked that question.

Shen Lin said irritably, "What? You want to rebuild the cultivation world after the great war?"

Thinking of the disappearance of the expedition city, the man fell silent.

"To be frank, it's highly unlikely that Venerable Shen will appear on the battlefield," Zhang Youli said bluntly. "Her combat prowess is so great that it's easy to inflict heavy damage on the enemy while suffering heavy losses on herself."

This self-inflicted damage wasn't just to herself, but to her allies!
Those who understood Zhang Youli's implied meaning fell silent.

Those who had experienced the interrogation of Shen Qiuluo by the Qingyu Sect did not think Zhang Youli was exaggerating.

“The current situation is not so bad that Venerable Shen needs to take action,” Yue Hehua said calmly. “Of course, if there is a shortage of healers, Venerable Shen may go as a healer.”

Shen Lin's body trembled, and his gaze toward Yue Hehua was filled with pleading.

Don't let that rebellious son go to the front lines!!!
Yue Hehua simply ignored it.

"By the way, regarding the rumors about Miss Shen going astray..." The head of the Xiao family glanced around meaningfully, "Putting aside the fact that the Mysterious Maiden Diagram wouldn't choose evil cultivators, just considering Miss Shen's temper, we shouldn't turn around and beg for help later."

Without giving them a chance to speak, Zhang Youli spoke directly, "The battle is intense, disperse."

With Zhang Youli's words, the day-long discussions were finally over.

After the cultivators left, only the five sect leaders and the heads of the eight families remained in the main hall.

"We need to pay close attention to the Hehuan Sect," Zhang Youli said to Hua Yuan.

Huayuan nodded. "I know."

"Let Azhu stay at the Hehuan Sect and help out," Yue Hehua said.

Huayuan nodded again.

"The Demon Realm's combat power should not be underestimated. Those below the Nascent Soul stage are alright, but those above the Nascent Soul stage..." Kong Yan's expression turned somewhat solemn.

The head of the Xiao family spoke up, "The demon generals in the demon realm are all above the Nascent Soul stage, while the demon kings are at the Integration stage. So far, we have found more than twenty demon generals and more than ten demon kings."

This is just what we found; we don't know how many more were not found!

Wang Yebing said, "Each sect has its patriarch in charge, so there's no need to worry about their base being raided. This way, all the elders in the sect can be sent out to lead teams, ensuring the survival of the disciples to the greatest extent possible."

“The Azure Jade Sect and the Five Elements Sect are definitely out of the question. Pills and magical artifacts are consumables. You two sects need to keep some disciples and elders to refine pills and artifacts,” Liu Xingchui said.

Zhang Youli and Wang Yebing exchanged a glance, both feeling overwhelmed.
