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

Chapter 464 I only hope that Flowery Grass City will last forever

Various spiritual energies lit up the night sky like dazzling fireworks.

The four disciples who commanded the disciples did not participate in the battle. Their task was to have a comprehensive view of the situation and react in a timely manner in order to direct the disciples to kill the enemy and reduce casualties.

For this night raid, the Demon Realm dispatched several Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators.

The demonic cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage are dealt with by their previous generations of disciples.

Because there were fewer demons than humans, the six or seven Nascent Soul stage demon cultivators were all snatched away by several sword cultivators, while the rest could only stand aside and occasionally lend a helping hand to their disciples.

As dawn approached, the fighting was about to end.

After the battlefield was cleared, Yue Ruoshui directed the Yue family disciples to use healing arrays on the wounded.

Looking at those weary and sluggish sects and families, Wei Ningguang frowned.

This is just the beginning!
Now I understand why Shen Xingzhi cursed so harshly.

"The battle will only get more intense from here on out." Chu Jianyan walked over, her voice serious. "I just received news that a spirit stone mine has been discovered just outside Hua Mao City."

Wei Ningguang and Shen Xingzhi both looked over, and even Yue Ruoshui, who was directing the disciples to use the healing array, turned her head to look over.

Before they could speak, the communication talismans on their waists lit up almost simultaneously.

They picked up the communication talisman, and the person on the other end was talking about the spirit stone mine in Flowergrass City.

After the group put away their communication tokens, their expressions weren't exactly solemn, but they weren't particularly good either.

The good news is that the spirit stone mine in Flowergrass City doesn't need their attention.

But the bad news... is in its own way!

“Our master told us not to concern ourselves with the affairs of Huamao City,” Shen Xingzhi said. “But Huajian City is only thirty li away from Huamao City.”

Their current encampment is only fifteen li away from Huamao City.

Given the demonic cultivators' offensive, they might not be able to hold this place, which means they might have to retreat to Flowery Grass City in a while!

"No," Wei Ningguang said, rubbing her head. "Why would a spirit stone mine suddenly appear out of nowhere?!"

what's going on?

Did you think they were resisting the demonic cultivators too easily? So you deliberately made things more difficult for them?

“Who knows?” Chu Jianyan sighed. “Master said that this might still be a spirit stone mine that produces top-grade spirit stones.”

Seeing that they looked like they wanted to curse, Yue Ruoshui added insult to injury, "I have even worse news. The powerful figure who went to Huamao City to take charge is Jinjin."

Three people:?
They don't want to rebuild Flowery City!
"Judging by the time, it should be almost here," Yue Ruoshui continued.

Shen Xingzhi took a deep breath and looked at Yue Ruoshui, asking, "Who suggested it?"

Which genius was it that suggested Youqing come to Huamao City?!

“Your father,” Yue Ruoshui replied.

Shen Xingzhi's vision went black.

My father has gone mad!

“The Five Sects and the Eight Families all agreed to the proposal,” Yue Ruoshui said.

Wei Ningguang and Chu Jianyan both wore the same expression of utter despair as Shen Xingzhi.

"Jiang Chenying and Liang Shimu are still rebuilding the Expeditionary City," Wei Ningguang said, looking at Yue Ruoshui. "Why did Master and the others agree to this?"

Yes, the other two direct disciples and those sects and families have to fight against the demonic cultivators while rebuilding the expedition city!

They used to laugh at their miserable situation, but now it seems their turn will come soon.

“First, he is highly capable; second, he can represent the Five Sects and the Eight Families.” Yue Ruoshui spread her hands. “Although Young Master Xiao is also suitable, there is no difference between finding him and finding Jinjin.”

Wei Ningguang was persuaded.

Putting aside the fact that Shen Youqing's combat power is too terrifying, she is indeed the most suitable candidate.

"I only wish that Flowergrass City may last forever," Shen Xingzhi prayed. "Rebuilding a city is too difficult for us!"

"This only applies to your Azure Dragon Sword Sect," Wei Ningguang added.

Every one of their craftsmen is incredibly skilled, but then again, rebuilding a city is probably out of the question.

Shen Xingzhi choked with sobs.

"Senior Sister," Hua Ci hopped over to Shen Xingzhi and said, "The city lord of Hua Mao City requests an audience."

The four of them looked over at the same time, and then looked at each other in bewilderment.

Could it be that Shen Youqing has gone on a killing spree in Huamao City?
"Let him come over," Shen Xingzhi said.

A moment later, a middle-aged man with a kind face strode over. He bowed to the group of prodigies and said, "Fellow Daoists, I am the City Lord of Hua Mao City. I have come here specifically to invite you to the city!"

Shen Xingzhi glanced at her old friends beside her and then said, "We're doing fine here."

Upon hearing the rejection, the city lord of Huamao City looked like he was about to cry.

"Please, fellow cultivators, have pity on me!" The city lord of Hua Mao City practically knelt before them. "The news that Hua Mao City has a spirit stone mine has spread like wildfire throughout the cultivation world, and now the city is in complete chaos!"

"Isn't Shen Youqing there?" Wei Ningguang asked, puzzled.

The city lord of Huamao City clasped his hands together and pleaded, "Venerable Shen wants to seal off the city! Please, everyone, go and dissuade her!"

The four fell silent instantly.

I always felt that Shen Youqing's sealing off of the city was an attempt to do something bad.

Wei Ningguang turned her head to look at the group, "Are you going?"

“I’m afraid she’ll massacre the city.” Shen Xingzhi said with a serious expression.

Chu Jianyan said, "I have to go."

"Let's go then." After saying that, Yue Ruoshui turned around and went to find the Yue family disciples, telling them to prepare to go to Hua Mao City.

The city lord of Huamao City almost burst into tears of joy upon seeing this.

Hanami Castle

The demonic cultivator who had gathered information reported back with the latest developments.

The message was passed up the chain of command.

In the dimly lit room, a figure could be vaguely seen lying on a soft couch.

Through the gauze curtain, Qin Wu bowed and said, "Demon Lord, the three sects and the Yue family have suddenly retreated, and it seems they are going to retreat to Hua Mao City."

The room was completely silent.

Qin Wu held her breath and obediently maintained the bowing posture.

After a long pause, a deep, cold voice rang out, "How confident are you in destroying the spirit stone mine?"

Qin Wu pondered for a moment, then said, "Eighty percent."

"What if Shen Youqing were in Huamao City?" The gloomy, icy voice rang out again.

Qin Wu paused for a moment, then knelt on the ground, not daring to utter a sound.

Are Shen and the Demon Queen in charge of Hua Mao City?
The chances of them blowing up the spirit stone mine are zero!
Unless the Demon Lord intervenes!
Jun Su slightly raised his eyes to look at Qin Wu kneeling there, and his gloomy voice slowly rang out: "Go tell those old bastards that if they can't blow up the spirit stone mine, I'll use them as a sacrifice."

Qin Wu responded, then got up and quickly left.

The dimly lit room fell silent once again.

-

Hua Mao City.

Jiang Hanying returned to the inn and immediately saw Shen Youqing sitting in the lobby.

"Senior Sister Youqing, I just found out that Senior Sister Chu and the others are about to enter the city." As she spoke, Jiang Hanying sat down and poured herself a cup of tea.

Shen Youqing nodded.

After drinking half a cup of hot tea, Jiang Hanying asked curiously, "Senior Sister Youqing, are you really going to lock down the city?"

Shen Youqing shook her head and turned to look in the direction of the inn's entrance. "If we don't say it this way, how will the city lord of Huamao City have managed to trick people into coming back?"

Jiang Hanying didn't understand Shen Youqing's actions for a moment, and she tilted her head.

Shen Youqing raised his hand and rested it on the table, propping up his cheek as he pondered.

Xiao Ke came downstairs, hung the communication talisman on his waist, and then sat down next to Shen Youqing.

"Your residence is in Huajian City, and the fact that the spirit stone mine is so well-known is the work of a demonic cultivator."

After speaking, Xiao Ke turned his head to look at Shen Youqing. Seeing that she was lazily propping her cheek up as if she was lost in thought, he raised his hand and waved it in front of her twice.

I had a headache yesterday, so I took the day off. [bows]

The other book was updated because I had a backlog of chapters [doge emoji]
