Chapter 616 Entering a Perilous Situation
Yue Xuanlu remained silent for a long time before speaking: "If you go now, the elders will not agree to open the passage. Only cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage have the power of heaven and earth."

Yu Wenqiu had grown up with the two of them since childhood, and from Yue Xuanlu's tone, he vaguely realized that things might be getting serious: "Lulu, wait, do you mean you've agreed?"

She remembered that Yue Xuanlu was at the Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul stage!

"This is a crucial moment for your advancement to the Integration Stage. You can't go to that death trap now!" Yu Wenqiu firmly opposed their idea.

Yue Xuanlu said, "The current stalemate in the Linghuang Plane is only temporary. My cultivation has not reached the True Immortal level, so I am far from posing a real threat to the evil thoughts from other worlds. Right now, perhaps it is because the evil thoughts from other worlds are focusing their main attention on the Tianhuang Plane that the other planes created by the Ancestral Phoenix have a chance to breathe. But what if the Tianhuang Plane is devoured?"

In order to maintain stability, the elders chose to turn a blind eye to the situation in the Heavenly Phoenix Plane. However, Yue Xuanlu, who was born with the Phoenix Luck, knew from a very young age that the plane created by the Ancestral Phoenix was never absolutely independent.

The Ancestral Phoenix left no legacy for the Heavenly Phoenix Clan, only countless Phoenix Destinies for its people. Was it really just a selection process for its successor?
“In ancient times, all birds paid homage to the phoenix. My Phoenix Clan has always been the one where all phoenixes pay homage to the emperor. It’s just that Lin Zhao’s performance is not enough to qualify him to become the emperor of all phoenixes. But if it is really as you said, then I must go and meet this ancient phoenix daughter.”

Yue Xuanlu possesses the destiny of the Kunpeng Phoenix and has always been an invincible figure among her peers. Her arrogance is unmatched, and she is certainly not the kind of person who would use underhanded means.

She wanted to prove to Tian Dao Cong that she could defeat Lin Zhao honorably and trample this newly crowned emperor who had defeated Ji Wantang under her feet.

……

Tianhuang Plane, South China Sea Academy.

Su Ye, dressed in a red Taoist robe, saw the burly young man sitting in a chair processing messages from the Heavenly Mirror. A complex expression appeared on his beautiful face. He stood in front of the young man for a long time before the young man finally looked up from his busy work.

Looking into the young man's calm and reserved amber eyes, Su Ye felt as if the other party was a majestic and powerful dragon, but willingly retracted its sharp teeth and claws to become a taciturn and reliable loyal dog.

Because of the mental strain of the past few days, You Shen was somewhat dazed. Seeing Su Ye's increasingly beautiful appearance, he did not mistake her for a woman, even though she had already shown masculine features. However, he was not quite able to accurately judge her intentions.

"You're from the Evil Hunting Squad? With your cultivation level... you should be going to your direct superior to accept missions or claim military merits, not coming to me."

The other party's words, spoken with a sense of overall consideration, made Su Ye feel that the purpose of his trip was somewhat shameful.

"No, I am the descendant of Elder Su of the South China Sea Academy."

You Shen thought for a while before remembering that it was a respected elder from the South China Sea Academy who had reached the Tribulation Transcending stage. His attitude towards Su Ye softened somewhat, but it still carried a formal scrutiny: "Why did you come to see me?"

Su Ye gave a wry smile: "I want to ask you, how is Lin Zhao now?"

Upon hearing the familiar name, You Shen finally understood why the other person's gaze was so familiar; it was quite similar to the way Qu Shu had looked at him back then.

Is this his love rival?
However, he doesn't really have the right to call the other person his love rival now.

You Shen was silent for a moment, then said, "She's busy too, but she should be able to come out in a while."

Su Ye said, "If the Heavenly Phoenix Plane is truly at its final moment, please take her away."

Upon hearing this, You Shen's expression turned strange, and his initial wariness of Su Ye almost completely vanished.

The fact that Su Ye could say that shows that he doesn't really understand Lin Zhao at all.

Based on You Shen's understanding of Lin Zhao, Lin Zhao was not the kind of person who would voluntarily leave the only way. She would rather die there than change course or turn back.

If she wants to leave, it's futile for anyone to try to keep her.

But You Shen wasn't one to talk much, so he simply responded to Su Ye's words with a curt, "I understand."

Then, he stood up. Although he maintained a restrained demeanor, his impeccable bone structure and well-defined muscles made him appear incredibly imposing.

Su Ye herself is already considered to be quite tall and well-proportioned, but compared to You Shen's somewhat exaggerated height and perfect body proportions, she appears rather thin.

This figure complemented You Shen's appearance perfectly. Even someone as picky as Su Ye couldn't lie and say that Lin Zhao's choice was bad. So, after realizing that the other party wasn't interested in him, he didn't linger to annoy her.

"No matter what the future holds, I do not regret having loved her."

You Shen's eyebrows twitched, but he didn't respond to her words. He simply waved his hand and said, "With the evil thoughts from another world at the forefront, we should try our best to protect what she values."

Su Ye gave a wry smile and clenched her fists.

He knew, of course, that the most urgent task was to fight against the evil thoughts from another world.

However, during this time, Su Ye discovered that the evil thoughts from another world had evolved again. Some members of their Evil Hunting Team, knowing the dangers of these evil thoughts, still chose to cooperate with them.

If this continues, the Heavenly Phoenix Plane has at most... less than ten days left to hold on.

After the Evil Hunting Group established an organized and large-scale counterattack, only half a month later, the otherworldly evil thoughts completed another evolution, changing their method of gradually eroding the minds of cultivators in the cultivation world.

Faced with such an enemy, if the Tianhuang plane can't hold on, how long can the other planes hold out?

Going further back, can those self-important beings in the upper realm really hold out?
Even though the upper realm was now out of reach for him, Su Ye still harbored deep suspicions about them.

……

Tianhuang Frontline.

Due to the series of defeats during this period, the activity area of ​​cultivators and the masses in the Tianhuang Plane has shrunk again and again. Now, the area left for them to live in is only a quarter of the Tianhuang Continent.

This is still the continent in the Tianhuang Plane that has retained the most combat power.

After shattering the body formed by the otherworldly evil thoughts in front of her with a single palm strike, Han Yan stood there pale-faced, watching the otherworldly evil thoughts gathering around her and slowly crawling towards her, her watery eyes filled with fierceness.

The next moment, she cut her hair and formed a hand seal, using her entire body as the origin and a radius of ten kilometers beneath her feet as the base, to activate the barrier of heaven and earth for the Nascent Soul stage.

Seven or eight children huddled at her feet behind her, and a little girl with pigtails rubbed her red, tear-filled eyes and kept calling for her mother.

The boy next to her was busy comforting her and wiping away her tears.

"Mommy was beaten by Daddy... Waaaaah!"

These children are survivors of a village that survived the initial outbreak of evil thoughts from another world because it was isolated from the outside world.

But just a few days ago, this crying little girl came home and saw her mother, who had been eaten and was now only half alive, and her father, who was sitting on the ground humming a song while pressing his brother's head into a water vat.

Her father was humming a lullaby, the one that lulled her to sleep, with a kind smile on his face as he did when he was putting her to bed.
