If I become a saint, a celestial official will summon me to raise horses.

Chapter 296 The Great Cold Demon Sect Attacks!

Upon hearing Shen Xinzi's words, all the disciples of Medicine Valley cheered. Shen Xinzi hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but then stopped.

He also wanted to say that it seemed no mainland China was selected.

To destroy a continent, one would need immense power, something he, as a ninth-level Immortal Realm cultivator, could surely sense.

However, he didn't want to point this out, lest these mortals become frightened.

Even if they knew what was going to happen next, what could they do?
Instead of worrying about this surprise, let's enjoy the rest of our days as much as possible.

Time continues to pass.

As the moon set and the sun rose, the people of the continent finally breathed a sigh of relief when the sunlight swept across the land on the second day. This was because the Immortal of Death had said that he would choose one continent each day, and at least they had survived the first day.

As a result, Tai Xuan Sect calmed down. Although many aristocratic families began to withdraw, the overall foundation remained unshaken.

When Gu An returned to the Third Medicine Valley, the valley had returned to normal order. After Xiao Chuan left, An Xin began to manage the valley on her behalf. Because of her gentle personality, most of the disciples liked her, so her management had not yet gone wrong.

As soon as he returned, Shen Zhen found him.

"Want to seek refuge?" Shen Zhen asked smugly, her eyes crinkling into crescent moons as she wore a veil.

As Gu An walked towards the distant park, he casually asked, "How do we take refuge?"

Shen Zhen followed his steps and said, "I can hide you inside the paintings and calligraphy, and then hide you again later. Wouldn't that be a way to avoid trouble?"

"They're going to wipe out the entire continent, where do you think you can hide?"

“It’s hidden underground. When he says he’s going to destroy the continent, he must mean annihilating all living beings and shattering the earth. It’s impossible that he would just wipe out the earth completely.”

"That makes sense. Are you some kind of genius?"

Gu An suddenly realized what was happening and looked at Shen Zhen with a shocked expression.

Shen Zhen's lips twitched beneath her veil; how could she not hear the sarcasm in Gu An's voice?

Gu An continued, "Don't overthink it. I have a feeling that yesterday's events weren't entirely unsuccessful in choosing our continent. That mysterious pressure doesn't lie, and haven't you noticed how peaceful it is today?"

Upon hearing this, Shen Zhen narrowed his eyes and asked, "You mean the Great Cold Demon Sect's offensive has been halted?"

"It's very possible. After all, I believe that Heaven has eyes, and there must be great cultivators in this world who care about all living beings. Evil sects like the Great Cold Demon Sect will certainly not last long!"

Gu An said firmly, his face full of determination.

Shen Zhen suddenly felt unsure how to evaluate him. If he was foolish, how could he have achieved his current status? If he was naive, how could he have written such a remarkable book as Journey to the West?
"You say Heaven has eyes, tell me, do immortals and gods truly exist in the unseen world? I'm not talking about people with powerful cultivation, but true immortals," Shen Zhen suddenly asked curiously.

She always felt that Investiture of the Gods and Journey to the West were not fabrications, but rather that Gu An must have seen something and then embellished and imagined it before he could write it down.

Perhaps, as Gu An said, the immortal guided him in his dream.

Gu An and Shen Zhen chatted casually. They were just a microcosm of the world, and people all over the world were talking about the Deadly Immortal.

As long as the Immortal of Death lives, the calamity cannot end.

Two days later.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord and Stealing the Five Elements returned to the Third Medicine Valley one after the other, as if they had made an appointment.

When they sat down at the chessboard, they looked at each other, their eyes heavy with worry.

"You felt it too?" Stealing the Five Elements asked.

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord placed his piece and said, "A net of heaven and earth, there is nowhere to escape."

Stealing the Five Elements, he grabbed the child and said, "How can you have nowhere to escape? I am the one who has no choice in the matter."

At this point, he couldn't help but look towards the distant pavilion.

Ji Xiaoyu was his hope.

The Nine-Fingered Divine Lord remained silent, letting out a soft sigh.

Qie Wuxing turned his gaze to him and asked curiously, "Speaking of which, I've always been curious, what exactly are you looking for?"

Nine-Fingered Divine Lord did not answer, which made Qie Wuxing seem thoughtful. He seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes became subtle.

……

The realm of gods and spirits.

seaside.

The Lord of the Divine Realm stood before the Divine Destiny Stele, surrounded by seven Divine Ghost Kings, all gazing up at the sky.

Beneath the blood-red sky, a whisk floated, turning slightly.

Compared to the composure of the Lord of the Divine Realm, the other Divine Ghost Kings were filled with fear and unease, for they knew who they were facing.

"Lord of the Divine Realm, prepare to join us on our expedition."

A cold voice rang out, echoing throughout the entire world.

Zhang Bukui, who was far inside the cave, also heard the voice. He couldn't help but open his eyes, his brows furrowed, and he began to worry about the Lord of the Divine Realm.

The Lord of the Divine Realm, expressionless, asked, "Where are we heading?"

"To avenge Tian Wuchang, one of your men."

The cold voice rang out again, and these words caused the expressions of the Lord of the Divine Realm and the Divine Ghost Kings to change.

The Great Cold Demon Sect and that being will eventually have to fight!
This battle will likely determine the fate of this human region!
……

The Starry Sea Sect is a small world within itself.

An Hao stood in front of the palace gate, watching disciples constantly entering and leaving the floating islands around him, his brows furrowed.

A figure appeared out of thin air beside him; it was his master, Master Fuchen.

An Hao quickly said, "Master, that's perfect, I have something to tell you..."

"Let's talk about it on the way. Prepare to retreat; we must retreat today!" Master Fuchen said in a deep voice, his face solemn.

An Hao couldn't help but ask, "Why?"

"The Great Cold Demon Sect is descending in force, their target being the continent where the Sword Master Fudao resides. They are likely aiming to besiege your master," Master Fuchen replied. An Hao immediately became anxious upon hearing this.

Before he could reply, Master Fuchen continued, "Your cultivation level is no match for your master. It would be best to leave as soon as possible. Although your master is strong, he cannot withstand the entire Great Cold Demon Sect's offensive; otherwise, he wouldn't be on the defensive."

An Hao gritted his teeth and said, "I'm not worried about my master. No, I have to go back!"

Anxin is still inside the Tai Xuan Sect, how could he abandon her?

He immediately leaped up, trying to force his way out of the Star Sea Sect's territory, but a long hair wrapped around him, which turned out to be the whisk of the Floating and Sinking Immortal.

"Master!" An Hao cried out in anguish, startling the other disciples in the world.

Master Fuchen held a whisk and began chanting a spell. The long hairs on the whisk quickly extended and blocked An Hao's mouth.

"I'm sorry, my disciple!"

The look in Fuchen Zhenren's eyes became resolute.

The other disciples remained silent at this scene, none of them discussing it, because they all knew what was going on. They too were heavy-hearted, and they too had people outside whom they couldn't bear to part with.

The Starry Sea Cult is about to escape!

In another world.

Li Ya, relying on the Mysterious City, broke through with overwhelming force, and no one could stop him.

He quickly flew out of the Starry Sea Sect and came to the ocean.

“My disciple, you must think carefully, for there is no turning back once you embark on this journey.”

An old voice rang out, and Li Ya, who was standing on the top of the tower, turned around but did not see his master.

He did not answer, but instead ordered the mystical spirit on his shoulder to begin moving forward.

With a roar, the mystical spirit caused the Mystical City to immediately display extraordinary speed, hurtling towards the horizon.

After flying for a while and seeing that no one was chasing him, Li Ya breathed a sigh of relief. He looked into the distance, his eyes becoming determined.

"Junior Brother Gu, wait for me!"

"And what about our ancestor? I wonder if you, old codger, still have your eye on me!"

Li Ya thought to himself silently, his face grave.

He hadn't felt it deeply before; he was only filled with anger because Zhang Bukui had become a vengeful ghost. But when the Xinghai Sect announced their intention to flee, he panicked completely.

The Star Sea Cult is a major cult on the sea; if they had even the slightest chance of winning, they wouldn't have abandoned their territory and fled.

Upon hearing that the Great Cold Demon Sect was going to deal with the Sword Venerable Fudao, he could no longer contain himself.

He wasn't worried about the Sword Master Fudao being his ancestor; if the ancestor couldn't win, he could escape. But he was worried that the others wouldn't be able to escape.

We need to be quick.

Li Ya gritted his teeth, fearing that the mainland had already fallen.

The wondrous spirit remained unperturbed. It leaped into the air, hopping and skipping about joyfully, which made Li Ya both angry and envious.

This guy really isn't afraid of anything; I wonder where his confidence comes from.

Time flies.

Two hours later.

Li Ya, who was meditating at the top of the tower, suddenly sensed something. He opened his eyes and found that the Divine City was shrouded in darkness. He subconsciously looked up and then his eyes widened, his face showing disbelief.

"This...how...is this possible..."

Li Ya muttered to himself, his voice trembling, his eyes filled with despair.

……

The Third Medicine Valley.

Gu An was stretching his muscles in front of the wooden fence in the park.

You Yingying, who was passing by, couldn't help but ask curiously, "What are you doing? Didn't you practice exercises this morning?"

Gu An replied, "I just want to move around, is that not allowed?"

A major battle is about to begin!
I have to say, the Great Cold Demon Sect is truly terrifying!

A dense aura swept in from all directions, creating an oppressive atmosphere. If the people of the mainland were to see them when they arrived, they would surely be terrified.

You Yingying looked at him and couldn't help but ask, "Everyone is worried about the catastrophe, why aren't you afraid?"

“Because I’m not afraid, I’m not afraid,” Gu An replied casually, which made You Yingying glare at him, feeling an urge to hit him.

She truly couldn't understand Gu An. When she sent him out to gain experience, he was afraid of dying. But now that a catastrophe was approaching, he wasn't afraid of dying at all.

What a strange person.

But for some reason, the more flustered she became, the more she wanted to talk to Gu An, perhaps because of Gu An's fearless attitude.

Gu An saw through her thoughts and smiled, "Whether you're worried or afraid, it won't change anything, will it?"

You Yingying opened her mouth, unsure how to respond.

Gu An took out the Heavenly Sword and suddenly drew it.

The flash of sword light on You Yingying's face startled her awake.

Looking at Gu An raising his sword, You Yingying's previous illusion reappeared. Gu An, with the golden markings on his forehead, looked so extraordinary, as if he were a celestial being in the world.

She had to admit that although Gu An's cultivation was not very good, his appearance and temperament were quite otherworldly, unlike that of an ordinary person.

Gu An raised his sword and pointed it at You Yingying. The tip of the sword fell into her pupils, making her tremble with fright.

"If my sword could help you cut away the fear in your hearts, wouldn't that be wonderful?" Gu An said with a longing look on his face.

These words left You Yingying stunned.
