Four years ago, news of your sale to the Red Mansion was leaked by someone, and you finally understood the purpose of the Nine Luminaries Demon-Suppressing Stele.
[On the Nine Realms Continent, the demon race and the human race coexisted. However, as the human race grew stronger, the demon race, which had always claimed to be the legitimate ruler of this world, could no longer remain passive and thus launched a war.]
The consequence was countless deaths and widespread devastation, giving rise to the demon race.
They feed by absorbing the life essence of other living beings, making them even more cruel and tyrannical than the demon race, and their cultivation speed is extremely fast.
In just a thousand years, by the time the human and demon races realized what was happening, the demon race had already grown into a colossal being.
Thus, the two races were forced to join forces, launching a surprise attack while the demon race's foundation was still unstable. Although they severely damaged the demon race's strength, they themselves were also greatly weakened, and the entire continent fell into a delicate balance.
Humans, demons, and monsters coexist, with the monster race facing the worst situation, as the demon race rose to power from the monster race's territory.
Even today, hundreds of thousands of years later, the demon race's power has been completely scattered, existing only as a shadow of its former self within the territories of the demon and human races.
However, powerful beings still exist within the demon race. To avoid a mutually destructive outcome that would allow the demons to gain an advantage, the human race dared not pursue a complete extermination.
Aside from the weaker, less powerful demonic beasts, most of the powerful demonic beast races have been suppressed and sealed away.
The Heavenly Profound Sword Sect was originally a garrison unit dispatched by the Primordial Sword Court of Central Continent. Through countless years of development and with the support of the Sword Court, it has grown to its current size.
[Their main responsibilities are twofold: first, to guard the key points of the array throughout the Tianxuan Land; second, to promptly suppress and kill any demons that break free of the seal.]
The Nine Luminaries Demon-Suppressing Stele is the most important sealing element within the array.
[If this had happened ten thousand years ago, the Hehuan Sect would never have dared to defy the world and do such a thing, but as time has passed, opinions within the human race have diverged.]
[The main force behind this was the demonic sect. They felt that keeping these demons alive was pointless and that killing them would be the right thing to do, since the corpses of high-ranking demons were all treasures.]
As for the powerful demons, in the words of the demonic path, simply kill them all.
The Heavenly Profound Sword Sect originally planned to quietly deal with the demon race that escaped from the gap in the array's core, but now, with the news spreading, they have no choice but to make a grand display.
[Firstly, it's to give an explanation to the other righteous sects; secondly, it's to let our former employer, the Primordial Sword Court, see the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect's stance.]
At this moment, above the main peak of the Heavenly Profound Sword Sect, several flying boats, blotting out the sun, hovered amidst the surging sea of clouds, their killing intent like a tidal wave.
【"Set off!"】
The figure hovering in front of the flying boat uttered no unnecessary words; the flying boat transformed into a streak of light and soared straight into the sky.
[The teams targeted in this operation are primarily composed of cultivators from the Sword Fighting Peak, with each team consisting of four members: three mid-stage Qi Refining cultivators and one late-stage Qi Refining cultivator as the team leader.]
[They entered the Ten Thousand Beasts Mountain Range within the Tianxuan Realm in batches to sweep through and exterminate the Blood Rat clan that had escaped the seal.]
"Adult blood rats only have a mid-stage Qi Refining cultivation level, but they are ferocious by nature and fight without fear of death. They also mostly appear in groups, making them extremely troublesome for Qi Refining cultivators."
Inside a room on a spirit boat, the worried Ling Shuanghua is giving you a crash course in the knowledge of the demon race.
"Furthermore, what's most terrifying about this race is their reproductive ability. Given enough flesh and blood, they can create a terrifying army in a very short time, which is why they need to be wiped out as soon as possible."
As a Foundation Establishment cultivator, her task is to patrol and provide support, only intervening to eliminate the Blood Rat Commander when encountered. Therefore, she cannot always be there to look after you.
As for the higher-ranking Blood Rat royal family, they were naturally killed by the accompanying high-level cultivators.
"Okay, senior sister, I'll be careful."
You obediently nodded, always remembering that discretion is the better part of valor when facing powerful cultivators!
Seeing this, Ling Shuanghua's lips curled up slightly, and she couldn't resist reaching out to ruffle your hair.
[Junior sister is so much better! Those two things Grandpa collected were really boring.]
【...】
As night fell, the airship slowly came to a stop before an endless, dense forest.
The mission was assigned when it was accepted by the sect, and the teams have already been assembled and are ready to begin operations upon landing.
Therefore, once the airship came to a stop, figures rushed eagerly into the forest, shouting: "Charge! Kill demons! Get the credit!"
[Your three team members are all at the sixth level of Qi Refining, two men and one woman.]
They stood behind you, and seeing that you hadn't moved for a long time, one of the burly men hesitated for a moment before finally asking:
"Senior Sister Lin, shouldn't we set off immediately?"
To be honest, they were quite happy to be assigned to your group.
A captain who is both stunningly beautiful and incredibly powerful is a perk from every angle.
"Let's go."
Seeing that the main group had already entered the mountains, you chose to walk in a direction with fewer people.
The three dared not question it and hurriedly followed in your footsteps.
[After walking about twenty miles into the dense forest, your steps suddenly stopped. Your spiritual sense now has a range of about three hundred meters, more than three times that of an ordinary peak Qi Refining cultivator.]
[A year ago, you re-entered the Azure Peak Valley secret realm, but after consuming the sixth Spirit Nourishing Fruit, your spiritual sense made no further progress.]
"Senior sister?"
The female cultivator following closely behind you looked puzzled.
Without uttering a word, you vanished from your spot in a flash, disappearing into the nearby shadows of the forest.
The next instant, three scarlet figures burst forth from a tree trunk shrouded in shadow, blood still dripping from their long, menacing fangs, but they froze mid-air.
A flash of cold light streaked across the sky, and three enormous rat heads slammed into the ground, splattering black blood everywhere.
A faint spiritual light emanates from you, isolating you from all defilement.
Beneath the blood-red mist, the moonlight outlined your cool profile. The extreme stench of blood intertwined with sanctity made you appear like a pure white lotus fallen to earth, majestic and sacred, inviolable in the slightest.
This visually striking scene left your three teammates stunned and speechless for a moment.
"The demon core has been unearthed."
[Only when your voice rang out did they snap out of their daze, rushing over immediately. Their gazes fell on the three half-human-sized crimson rat carcasses on the ground, then they cautiously glanced at you, their throats bobbing slightly, but they dared not utter a sound for a long time.]
"Dig out the demon's core."
You patiently repeated it again.
Seeing that they immediately got to work, you continued:
"You'd better be extremely careful here. If you really encounter danger, don't expect me to be the first to rescue you."
【Yes! x3】
The three immediately tensed up and obediently replied.
[Just kidding, three mid-stage Qi Refining Blood Rats were so easily killed by this senior sister with a single sword strike. What difficulty would it be for her to kill three teammates with one strike?]
"Let's go."
You nodded in satisfaction. You didn't expect them to fight; it would be good enough if they could clean up the battlefield. After all, you didn't want to get dirty.
Watching your departing figure, the three of them swallowed hard, exchanged glances, and all saw the determination in each other's eyes.
[We absolutely must cling to Senior Sister Lin's coattails!]
