I'm just lazing around cultivating in the world of Jade Dynasty.

I don't know when I'll be able to go home after this trip.

They naturally need to make all the necessary preparations.

safety?

If they hadn't mastered the Yin-Yang Five Elements Formation, their safety would indeed be a problem, but now they possess important abilities.

That meant they wouldn't die easily, and they would have many disciples to protect them.

Just like pilots in the previous life, at the start of a war, the loss of even one pilot was a huge loss, and it was not something that could be easily replaced.

Tian Ling'er and Wen Min, who remained behind, chatted with Li Qing'an for a few more minutes, asking him to give them some pointers.

Li Qing'an was naturally generous in offering his guidance.

Finally, Wenmin left with a smile on her face.

Only Tian Ling'er remained. The two spent a short while together, had lunch at Tianzhen Peak, and then led the group towards the Southern Frontier.

Xiao Bai naturally wanted to see what was going on, so she quietly followed along with Xiao Ping'er.

However, unlike Li Qing'an's journey, Xiao Bai, who had long resided at the Xuanhuo Altar, leisurely made his way to the Southern Frontier while gazing at the scenery of various parts of Shenzhou.

......

The border between southern Xinjiang and central China.

In a secluded mountain range dozens of miles from the border, a medium-sized city was built, named 'Demon Subduing Pass'.

This town is a strategic location where the righteous path accumulates important resources such as grain, standardized magical artifacts, etc.

The area was riddled with traps, and patrols were in place, making it appear quite well-organized.

In the central mansion of the Demon-Slaying Pass.

The three groups of people are currently discussing the matter.

The three representatives from Qingyun Sect are Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, and Shang Zhengliang; Master Pukong from Tianyin Temple; and Yun Yilan from Fenxiang Valley!

As this was the old territory of Fenxiang Valley, Yun Yilan naturally took the lead and volunteered to bring the disciples of Fenxiang Valley here, with the motto "If we don't succeed, we'll die trying!"

That does show a certain do-or-die spirit.

Over the past seven days, righteous cultivators and demonic beasts have clashed several times.

Relying on the advantages of the terrain, such as traps, when the monsters emerged from the forest, the two sides were evenly matched, which Yun Yilan could barely accept.

However, once the cultivators entered the dense forest, they were forced to retreat in defeat, as there were simply too many demonic beasts.

The first encounter between the righteous path and the beast demons immediately reached a stalemate.

"Junior Brother Tian, ​​I wonder when your sect's formation will arrive so that it can be used on the battlefield!"

"We can't stop now. We need to rush into the Southern Frontier as soon as possible to prevent that beast demon from continuing to recover its strength!"

"I don't know!" Tian Buyi slowly shook his head.

"However, learning a formation is not so easy; it will most likely take some time!"

Yun Yilan frowned, his brows furrowed with barely suppressed anger: "Time! Time! Your sect has already said three times that it needs more time!"

"Is there really no definite answer as to when this will end?"

Yun Yilan's roar echoed throughout the surroundings, and the entire room fell silent.

Even Tian Buyi found it difficult to speak.

Everyone knows that Li Xun, whom Yun Yilan raised for many years and treated like his own son, died in the Southern Frontier, and his remains have not yet been recovered!

Because when he arrived at this place, Li Xun's body had already been completely devoured by wild animals.

On the spot, there were only a few fragments of clothing that symbolized the attire of the Incense Valley.

After taking a look at it that day, Yun Yilan silently returned to his post.

Aside from urging Qingyun Sect to hurry up, he handled all aspects of the battle extremely well!

It left everyone speechless!

Chapter 279 The discord within the Righteous Alliance, Li Qingan rushes to the scene!

Righteous Alliance Headquarters!

Hearing Yun Yilan's angry roar, Tian Buyi wanted to retort, but didn't know what to say.

Yun Yilan's disciple, Li Xun, is indeed dead, and his remains have not been recovered!

But he had a keen sense that something was amiss.

Before the formidable enemy, the Beast Demon, even appeared at the gate, cracks somehow appeared within the alliance.

Everyone has their own agenda!

Tian Buyi secretly investigated and eventually discovered two reasons.

First, he discovered that it was Yun Yilan's recent remarks that had aroused dissatisfaction among some mid- to low-level cultivators.

Why should cultivators from a major sect like Qingyun Sect be allowed to arrive late, by seven days?

During battles, most of the disciples from the three factions also served as coordinators and administrators.

Although they had to charge forward when the monsters attacked, their numbers were undoubtedly far fewer than the monsters'.

In addition, due to the disparity in strength, the number of middle and lower-level cultivators who died far exceeded the number of cultivators from the three sects who died during this period.

Finally, the most neutral faction, Tianyin Temple, was led by Puzhi's junior brother, Pukong.

This is the same monk who struck Zhang Xiaofan into the Zhuxian Sword Formation with a single palm strike when the Demonic Sect invaded Tongtian Peak.

He has a violent temper, and even with the Dharma Master's intervention, he is difficult to control.

Perhaps it was because Pu Kong always held a grudge about Zhang Xiaofan that Tianyin Temple's reputation was ruined.

They turned a blind eye to the division within the righteous alliance and made no attempt to mediate.

Faxiang was a lowly person with little influence, and his words could not affect the overall situation. He could only send a message to Puhong!

After the quiet ended, everyone left without saying a word.

The atmosphere was unusually unsettling!

Tian Buyi, Zeng Shuchang, and the other two arrived at their residence.

"Something's not right with Yun Yilan; he's too hasty!"

Tian Buyi recalled Yun Yilan's situation during this period.

It's normal, yet there's something abnormal about it.

Zeng Shuchang yawned and said nonchalantly, "You're only just realizing that?"

"If you've cultivated for hundreds of years and still end up inferior to our junior brother who's only cultivated for a dozen years, and you've lost face in public!"

"Oh, right, he was also seriously injured. Plus, his disciple died in the Southern Frontier, so you'll hate us too."

"We didn't kill Li Xun!" Tian Buyi said angrily, extremely dissatisfied.

"you sure??"

Zeng Shuchang raised an eyebrow and asked in return.

"Who else could it be..." Tian Buyi said angrily, noticing that Zeng Shuchang and Shang Zhengliang were both looking at him.

Suddenly, a thought flashed through his mind, and his eyes widened as he made a guess.

"Li Xun and Yi Cai originally went to the southern border to investigate, but later returned because the three sects of the Demonic Sect resisted the monsters."

"And coincidentally, my junior brother got engaged to Lu Xueqi. According to my report, after attending the ceremony, Li Xun went to the Fenxiang Valley's residence without saying a word and then left."

"Cough...cough..."

Tian Buyi coughed a few times, glanced around, and looked at the two of them, saying softly, "Senior brother, junior brother, be careful what you say!"

Zeng Shuchang and Shang Zhengliang exchanged a glance and laughed together.

Laughter lingered in Tian Buyi's ears, igniting a fire within him.

Just as he was about to get angry, he heard Zeng Shuchang speak.

"Senior brother, do you know why our sect leader hasn't taken this calamity very seriously?"

Zeng Shuchang had a smile in his eyes and looked quite arrogant.

"Say it!"

Tian Buyi said impatiently.

Zeng Shuchang didn't tease Tian Buyi any further, and solemnly said, "Junior Brother Li has already reached the Taiqing Realm!"

"What?" Tian Buyi asked in disbelief.

"We now have two experts at the Taiqing Realm!" Shang Zhengliang announced.

Tian Buyi paused, his face expressionless.

Just when Zeng Shuchang thought Tian Buyi was overjoyed and his mindset was unbalanced.

"Haha...Good!"

Tian Buyi's loud laughter made their ears ring!

Zeng Shuchang and his companion were both helpless.

After a while.

Tian was not easily able to return to normal, and suddenly felt unwell.

Why did the two of them know, while I, as Li Qing'an's former master, didn't?

The petty-minded Tian Buyi began to get angry with Li Qing'an and Dao Xuan.

The three of them chatted and joked around, and that was the end of it.

.....

Deep in the mountains of southern Xinjiang.
