Junior Sister is too competitive, she drastically alters the Joyful Union Sect.

Chapter 462 Let the beasts live for a while first
After Liu Xingchui's reminder, Zhang Youli and Wang Yebing were already deep in thought.

The Fifth Clan Head looked at the two troubled sect leaders, pondered for a moment, and then asked, "So, why is it the Fifth Clan that's staying behind to guard the area?"

It makes sense for the Duanmu and Shen families to stay. The Duanmu family has many alchemists and the Shen family has many sword cultivators, but the fifth family has many talisman masters. Isn't it a waste to leave a large group of talisman masters in Zhongzhou City?

The fifth family head's concerns were echoed by the other family heads.

The head of the Tantai family hesitated before speaking, "Perhaps the Yin family and the Xiao family are more suitable than the fifth family?"

The Yin family has many weapon makers, while the Xiao family has many alchemists, plus they are the most well-informed.

Yue Hehua shook her head. "No, it has to be the fifth one."

Amidst the somewhat puzzled looks of the family heads, Yue Hehua explained his point of view: "Zhongzhou City is one of the core areas of the cultivation world. One-third of the spirit stone mines are located underground in Zhongzhou City. There absolutely cannot be the slightest problem in this place."

With the fifth family's talisman masters cooperating with the Shen family's sword cultivators for defense, and the Duanmu family's alchemists supplying pills, their defenses were so solid that it was virtually impossible for the Demon Realm to breach them.

"I agree with the distribution made by the Yue family head," the Xiao family head said first.

If these three are stationed in Zhongzhou City, it will take the Demon Realm some time to breach the city, which will be enough time for them to return and provide support.

Shen Lin spoke up: "The spirit stone mines of the five sects plus the spirit stone mines of Zhongzhou City account for two-thirds of the spirit stone mines in the cultivation world. You can imagine how important Zhongzhou City is. It's always better to be cautious."

The fifth head of the family thought for a moment, then nodded, "Then let it be arranged this way."

Going to the front lines to provide support is important, but Zhongzhou City is equally important.

-

The next day.

The five sects acted swiftly, sending elders and disciples to organize those sects and families.

After the five people, including Chu Jianyan, left, only Shen Youqing and Xiao Ke remained on the mountain peak.

When Jiang Hanying came to tell him the news, Shen Youqing realized that the world outside had been turned upside down.

"Is that right?" Shen Youqing sat to the side, a handful of sunflower seeds in his hand. "At a time when we should be united against a common enemy, they've actually left me out!"

Hearing Shen Youqing's somewhat indignant voice, Jiang Hanying's lips twitched slightly, "Senior Sister Youqing, in my brother's words, if we don't leave you behind, then the cultivation world will have to be rebuilt!"

Expedition City no longer exists.

Their goal is to drive the demonic cultivators back, not to rebuild the cultivation world!
"..." Shen Youqing choked for a moment.

Just as she was about to defend herself, Xiao Ke spoke softly, "The situation in Expedition City was still under the condition that you did not have the Divine Sword. Qingqing, the cultivation world does not deserve to die."

Shen Youqing: "..."

Is it because she's too strong?

"Don't worry, there will be places where you are needed in the future," Xiao Ke said again. "There are more than ten demon kings in the demon realm, and quite a few demon cultivators above the Mahayana level."

Why use a sledgehammer to crack a nut? The current petty squabbles are not enough to warrant Qingqing's intervention. She will have her turn in the future.

"It's just a pity I can't fight alongside my senior brothers." Shen Youqing cracked sunflower seeds, his tone full of regret and sorrow.

Seeing Jiang Hanying's eager look, she simply brought out a plate of melon seeds and placed it on the table.

After getting to know Shen Youqing better, Jiang Hanying unceremoniously grabbed a handful of sunflower seeds and started eating them.

Xiao Ke looked at Shen Youqing with a slightly complicated expression.

No wonder the Five Sects and Eight Families deliberately abandoned her; there's a reason they did so.

If we send Qingqing to the front lines to provide support, it would be like putting a hungry wolf into a sheep pen. At that point, no one would be able to control her!

Therefore, rather than causing an out-of-control situation, it would be better to simply abandon her and let her stay obediently in the Lingxiao Sect.

"There will be opportunities in the future." After offering this token word of comfort, Xiao Ke lowered his head and took a sip of tea.

Shen Youqing ate some melon seeds for a while, then seemed to have thought of something.

"Junior Sister Hanying is stationed at the Lingxiao Sect?"

Jiang Hanying shook her head. She put down the melon seeds in her hand, took a sip of tea to moisten her throat, and then said, "My father didn't want me to go to the front line, so I was left in the sect to draw talismans."

She naturally wanted to go to the front lines, but she couldn't argue with her father and had to stay in the sect.

Shen Youqing nodded. "Since you've stayed to draw the talisman, then let's do it." Jiang Hanying was taken aback.

Shen Youqing put down the melon seeds, clapped his hands, and took out a table and laid out paper, pen, and ink.

Jiang Hanying hurriedly went over to ask for advice.

……

Unlike the peaceful life of Lingxiao Sect, the battle between Huajian City and Yuanzheng City was fierce.

Outside Hanami Castle.

The Azure Dragon Sword Sect led many other sects and families to settle here.

On a relatively flat open space, Shen Xingzhi, dressed in a tight-fitting outfit and carrying a long sword, looked around with a serious expression and calm gaze.

“Elder Shen organized the evacuation in time, so the casualties in Huajian City are not serious.” Ming Jixue gazed in the direction of Huajian City. “Senior Sister, what are the plans next?”

"The Demon Realm could launch an attack at any time, and this disorganized group is unlikely to be able to resist," Shen Xingzhi said bluntly and without reservation.

Ming Jixue withdrew her gaze, a cold glint in her eyes.

Apart from the disciples of the Azure Dragon Sword Sect, the elders and disciples of those sects and families were all very relaxed and carefree. If you didn't know better, you would think they were on vacation!
Jiang Zhi walked over with a cold face, her deep voice carrying a hint of anger, "Senior Sister, there's no need to send my sect's disciples to their deaths!"

Shen Xingzhi nodded. "I know. Second Junior Sister, you and Fifth Junior Brother take them on patrol."

Jiang Zhi immediately understood what her senior sister meant, and she nodded.

Ming Jixue withdrew her gaze and looked towards Huajian City. "The demonic cultivators didn't kill many people in Huajian City, and they suffered a loss at the hands of my sect earlier. Tonight won't be peaceful."

Shen Xingzhi stood with her hands behind her back. "When will the reinforcements from Lingxiao Sect and Five Elements Sect arrive?"

"tonight."

Shen Xingzhi nodded, then fell into deep thought.

As night falls, Hanami Castle is brightly lit.

"I really don't understand why Shen Xingzhi of the Azure Dragon Sword Sect insists on making us stay in this godforsaken place. Wouldn't it be better to retreat to Flower Grass City?"

"I really don't understand why she has to set up camp in this godforsaken place!"

"How much ability can a woman have!"

"That's true. If the Five Sects can afford to have a woman stationed here, then the demonic cultivators in Hanami City must not be too dangerous. Let's just treat this as a trip."

……

Standing on the other side of the flat ground, Shen Xingzhi could hardly ignore these vile words.

The dark night concealed those disgusting faces, but the disgusting sounds drifted on the wind.

Shen Xingzhi suddenly understood Shen Youqing's actions.

The thought that I'm risking my life to protect these kinds of people really makes me want to quit.

As night deepened, the atmosphere at the encampment was relaxed and playful.

Shen Xingzhi neither reminded them nor said anything more, just waiting for them to court disaster.

"Enemy attack——"

"what!!!"

A piercing scream shattered the peaceful night.

Those sects and families, thinking that the Azure Dragon Sword Sect was leading the charge, naturally didn't take it seriously.

"what!!!"

They didn't realize what was happening until the demonic cultivators suddenly attacked the camp and screams filled the air.

Ji Fuchuan landed beside Shen Xingzhi, looked at the chaotic camp, and asked in a low voice, "Senior Sister, what should we do?"

"No rush," Shen Xingzhi said calmly and seriously.

Let the animal live or die for a while first.
