These fairies want me to deal with them every day.

As for the last option, those who agree with taking the initiative are few and far between.

Apart from Lu Qingyan from the Yuanjian Sect who took the initiative to explain the pros and cons, no one else echoed her. As soon as she spoke, everyone fell into an eerie silence.

It seems like this is a difficult question to ask, and it seems like no one can answer it.

At this moment, a moment of passionate courage is not enough to make a decisive decision; they must consider their own safety and the safety of their disciples.

They remained silent, their faces showing embarrassment, no matter how eloquently Lu Qingyan spoke.

Seeing this, Ran Xinxue took a deep breath and finally couldn't help but stand up.

"Gentlemen."

The others looked at Ran Xinxue, and they seemed to understand what this woman wanted to say and what efforts she wanted to make.

Someone immediately spoke up.

"Sect Leader Ran, we know what you're going to say and what you're worried about. We understand the reasoning... The problem is, with our limited strength, can we really fight against the Witch God? We don't know what progress the enemy has made, nor what conditions they require. We're unsure if the people from the Flower Palace have arrived, or where the reinforcements are... And we've already suffered considerable losses these past few days. How are we supposed to break through? With all these factors combined, we can't help but hesitate."

The other party spoke very sincerely.

Ran Xinxue was neither angry nor upset.

With Huang Shang and Xun Huai absent, it seemed that everyone present was evenly matched. Apart from having Lu Qingyan as a powerful ally, they had no other bargaining power. However, Ran Xinxue still took a deep breath and said.

"Please think this through carefully. At most, we only have one night. Time is of the essence. Do you really think that surrendering to the resurrected Witch God will guarantee your survival? It may seem like you can live, but are you truly the ones who will be the real heroes to the Witch God?"

Silence was maintained.

"Dyed new snow said."

"It's not you, it's the Yihua Palace, it's the Xuanling Sect! You're nothing but icing on the cake, or to put it bluntly, opportunists who fawn over the powerful. To them, you're nothing but endless trouble, and eliminating you is only a matter of time. Why not make an effort now? Even if the future is uncertain, at least... we're on the path to the truth, at least we still have a chance to thwart their plans, besides..."

Ran Xinxue looked at Lu Qingyan.

Lu Qingyan nodded.

Ran Xinxue revealed a strange smile.

"Who says we don't have powerful allies?"

"..."

In this celestial land, undercurrents are surging, and everyone's nerves are on edge, as if something is about to erupt.

In the human world.

Chaoge City of the Shang Dynasty.

This should be a night when everyone can sleep peacefully and remain quiet.

But in the vast palace, a figure sat up.

She pushed open the door, walked to the entrance of the palace, and looked at the end of the night, at the unfathomable dark clouds.

Ye Bingluan frowned.

"Should we go now...?"

Chapter 133 Hypocritical

"Senior Brother Ji, we won't trouble you to look after things here. You should go and get some rest. We haven't seen you close your eyes for days and nights."

In the interconnected camps, a young woman approached Ji Xiangwan and spoke with great concern.

Looking at the dark, inky night, Ji Xiangwan shook her head.

"A few days won't make a difference, and besides, cultivators don't need rest. It wouldn't be good if important matters were delayed because of this." In the eyes of these young female disciples, Ji Xiangwan was simply the most perfect ideal husband.

He is handsome and dashing, highly skilled, and holds a pivotal position in the Yihua Palace.

It is no exaggeration to say that Ji Xiangwan is the most beloved disciple of Li Yaoshan, the master of Yihua Palace. Known as the third young master of Yihua Palace, Ji Xiangwan's status is now clearly surpassing that of his second senior brother Jiang Cun. If he has enough time, it is even possible that he will surpass his eldest senior brother Wang Qi.

Moreover, Ji Xiangwan is different from his two senior brothers who only bury themselves in cultivation. What makes him even more special is that he is very kind to other disciples and is sometimes regarded as a model of generosity.

It's not surprising that he has such a high reputation now. Even the Palace Master Li Yaoshan's tacit approval of Ji Xiangwan's behavior is seen by many disciples and elders as a sign that he is treating this young man as his successor. As a result, even the elders have to give Ji Xiangwan some face.

Looking at Ji Xiangwan's resolute profile, the woman's eyes seemed to sparkle with admiration.

Her heartfelt sentiment.

"It's truly a blessing for Yihua Palace to have a disciple like Senior Brother Ji..."

Ji Xiangwan smiled.

"You are the future of Yihua Palace. Go and rest. Someone will take over my shift later."

The woman still seemed unwilling to give up, muttering softly.

"Those people are probably hiding like cowards; they might leave at any time. I know you're meticulous, Senior Brother Ji, but the night is long, and you might get bored. How about I keep you company?"

Ji Xiangwan actually frowned almost imperceptibly. He was thinking about some things and didn't really want someone nagging him around.

But after glancing at the woman, he smiled.

"Okay, you're right."

"Really? Thank you so much, Senior Brother Ji..."

The young woman said with a smile, trying to make her smile as sweet as possible.

But at that very moment, a sudden gust of night wind swept in.

"call!!"

Suddenly a strange sound came, like an arrow, swiftly piercing through the woods and the leaves hanging from the branches.

The young woman instantly sensed something was wrong, as did Ji Xiangwan.

Ji Xiangwan raised his head almost instantly and looked in that direction. He could see it clearly: a sharp, almost unstoppable sword aura!

The power of this sword energy... is at the Divine Realm!

He felt a terrifying and dangerous aura approaching him, a feeling he rarely experienced.

He had never seen such terrifying sword energy before, and he could already sense that the sword energy was coming towards him and had almost locked onto him!

What price would it take to withstand this sword energy?

Ji Xiangwan wasn't sure, but when he saw the panicked woman next to him, he immediately made up his mind.

I'm sorry.

He whispered this, then took the other person's soft hand in his, and the touch seemed to stir the heart.

However, the woman clearly realized something and stared wide-eyed in disbelief. But she had no choice; under Ji Xiangwan's power, she had no room to struggle.

then……

"puff!!"

The sword energy pierced through the chest of the woman who was blocking Ji Xiangwan's way, even though the woman hadn't actively tried to defend herself.

The sword energy was visibly reduced the moment it passed through the woman, because the woman would instinctively gather all the energy in her body to resist and save her life, but her resistance was useless against the power of this sword.

Bloodstains quickly appeared on her chest, gradually spreading across her entire chest area.

The woman's gradually unfocused and desperate gaze reflected her current state. Even now, she probably couldn't fully believe that Ji Xiangwan, who usually seemed so approachable and generous to everyone, would do such a thing at this critical moment.

But Ji Xiangwan had already achieved her goal.

Even though the sword energy was still incredibly sharp the moment it pierced through the woman's chest, Ji Xiangwan was now able to accurately neutralize her killing intent.

Ji Xiangwan simply abandoned the woman in front of her.

Although it was already a gradually cooling corpse.

He quickly retreated until he neutralized the sword energy, which was filled with murderous intent and could lock onto him from a hundred miles away.

He looked up and saw a figure in the distance.

Her hair fluttered slightly, and her expression was one of icy aloofness and stunning beauty—such temperament...such strength.

Ji Xiangwan quickly figured out who the other party might be.

"Lu Qingyan?"

Lu Qingyan, who was floating in mid-air, held a glass in her hand, and a deep disgust appeared in her eyes. She had obviously taken in the whole scene just now.

"Ji Xiangwan... You could have dodged that sword with a little effort, yet you chose to let the woman who trusted you and loved you die in your place... Your hypocrisy is truly disgusting."

Ji Xiangwan burst into laughter.

"Hypocritical? You talk as if you're some kind of virtuous and righteous fairy. Who in this world doesn't live for their own benefit? Building up strength is just about wanting to live better. Besides... she came to me herself. I never said I liked her. Are you the kind of person who would die for someone without a reason?"

Lu Qingyan shook her head, but her gaze toward Ji Xiangwan was unwavering.

"While it won't come to that, at least I won't be as vicious as you."

Ji Xiangwan smiled even more happily.

"It's just a case of the pot calling the kettle black. Who's more noble than whom? People like you who like to stand on moral high ground are the most disgusting. What right do you have to tell me what to do? Do you really think you can kill me all by yourself?"

Lu Qingyan smiled slightly, appearing both disdainful and natural.

"I'm just the vanguard. Don't worry, what awaits you is total annihilation."

Ji Xiangwan frowned, and then he saw the blazing firelight gradually brightening in the distance.

And then there was the ever-approaching, almost deafening roar.

"You actually dare to retaliate..."

Lu Qingyan smiled and said, "Your tricks have long been seen through. What are you still expecting now? Prepare to die, Ji Xiangwan."

The voice just fell.

Lu Qingyan thrust directly at Ji Xiangwan.

Without a second thought, Ji Xiangwan turned and ran.

He certainly couldn't defeat this woman head-on right now, that was for sure, but even with his all-out attack, could he not escape?

Who cares about saving face at a time like this!

Life is the most important thing!
