Cultivating immortality relies on spatial abilities; defying fate to become the protagonist.

Chapter 207

The crowd cheered and jumped for joy. Gu Shihan's face was filled with a confident smile. She quickly changed her clothes and opened her arms to welcome the blessing of heaven.

The five-colored rain began to fall gently, and Shi Qinghan and the others rushed into the rain to begin their meditation and cultivation.

The five-colored rain fell gently for about fifteen minutes before stopping. A magnificent rainbow appeared on the distant horizon, its brilliance enhanced by the glow of the sunset, as if it were a blessing from heaven for Gu Shihan.

"We finally have a Mahayana cultivator! We haven't had a single heroic moment here, living in constant fear. It's been so damn frustrating. If it weren't for Shi Han and Si Qi, I don't know how long we would have had to endure that. Now, thankfully, we have a Mahayana cultivator backing us up."

"Shi Han, you're great, fantastic! From now on, you'll be our leader, right everyone?" Mo Jian said with a smile.

“Yes! With Shi Han around, we have more confidence when we travel outside. In this mortal realm, Mahayana cultivators are a rare sight!” Nangong Yi said with a smile.

"Alright, you all need to focus on your cultivation. I'm thinking of staying here a while longer until you all advance to the Nascent Soul stage before leaving the Canglang Mountains. What do you all think?" Gu Shihan asked, looking at everyone.

"No problem! Girl, shouldn't we celebrate? I'm craving your wine!" Shi Qinghan said with a smile.

Everyone laughed upon hearing Shi Qinghan's words. Gu Shihan retrieved fine wine from her storage bracelet, and everyone prepared some spiritual food. They sat together, their laughter echoing through the valley.

After several rounds of drinks, Gu Shihhan stood up and said with a firm gaze, "Although we have gained a lot in the Canglang Mountains, there are still many more places in this world waiting for us to explore, and many unknown dangers waiting for us to overcome." Everyone nodded in agreement.

In the days that followed, everyone cultivated diligently. Under Gu Shihan's guidance, Wen Xin and the others made rapid progress, and six months later, they all advanced to the Nascent Soul stage.

On the day they left the Canglang Mountains, the group looked at this place full of memories, their hearts filled with emotion, as they embarked on a new journey.

Along the way, they saw and heard a lot about the Blood Demon Sect and the Heavenly Yin Sect. Mo Yu said, "The world is not good now. We should not meddle in other people's business if we can avoid it. Life is the most important thing."

However, fate seemed determined not to spare them. They arrived at a small town, where a suffocating atmosphere hung in the air.

Just as the group was about to take a detour, they heard pitiful cries for help coming from inside the town.

They looked at each other, turned back, and stepped into the town.

Upon entering the town, everyone was startled by what they saw. The townspeople were all enveloped in a strange red mist, their eyes glazed over, like puppets.

The people inside the red mist were all teenagers, while those outside were presumably their parents and relatives, who were screaming desperately and trying to rush into the red mist to save them.

“It’s the Blood Demon Sect’s doing!” Duan Siqi frowned.

Gu Shihan threw out an array plate to protect them inside, intending to cast a spell to deal with the red mist.

Before they could even make a move, a group of Blood Demon Sect disciples dressed in black with red skulls embroidered on them surged out from all around, numbering as many as twenty.

"Outsider, mind your own business! It's best not to interfere in the affairs of our Blood Demon Sect. Get lost!" shouted a man who appeared to be a leader.

Gu Shihan snorted coldly, "You who have harmed innocent people, I will not forgive you today! The Blood Demon Sect is the common enemy of everyone, and everyone has the right to kill them!" After saying that, she launched the first attack. The others also joined the battle, charging fearlessly into the Blood Demon Sect's camp.

In an instant, sword light flashed, spells flew everywhere, and the entire battlefield descended into chaos and fierce fighting.

The Blood Demon Sect disciples were no slouch either; they had a variety of methods that made them difficult to guard against, and there were several times when they almost succeeded in their schemes.

Seeing that the situation was not good, Gu Shihan shouted, "Don't engage in close combat! Hold your breath!"

The nine worked together seamlessly, protecting each other. Moreover, they were no longer the weaklings they once were. After a long period of training and experience, their strength was now vastly different from what it used to be.

Gu Shihan flashed forward, wielding her longsword with a sudden, fierce strike. A sharp sword aura erupted forth, sweeping away a large group of enemies like autumn leaves in the wind. Wherever the sword aura passed, Blood Demon Sect disciples screamed and fell to the ground, blood splattering everywhere.

The others were not to be outdone, each displaying their unique skills. Some summoned raging flames to burn their enemies to ashes; others controlled torrential rain and wind, making it impossible for the Blood Demon Sect disciples to gain a foothold; still others used unpredictable movements to weave through the enemy ranks, reaping lives with swift sword strikes.

Before long, most of the Blood Demon Sect disciples were killed or wounded, and the battlefield was littered with severed limbs and blood.

Seeing that the situation was not good, the leader of the Blood Demon Sect thought to himself that something was wrong and turned to flee.

But before he could run a few steps, a figure suddenly flashed by, followed by a flash of cold light.

Mo Yu, wielding a long sword, appeared behind the leader like a ghost and slashed down without hesitation.

A scream rang out, and the leader's head flew high into the air before rolling to the side.

As the Blood Demon Sect disciples were completely wiped out, the red mist that had been permeating the air gradually began to dissipate.

The people in the red mist were freed from fear and restraint, and their actions gradually returned to normal.

"The Blood Demon Sect is too arrogant! They actually dare to snatch a child in broad daylight. What are they trying to do? Don't those high-level cultivators care about this?" Duan Siqi said angrily, her face flushed.

"Perhaps those high-level cultivators haven't realized it yet, or perhaps they themselves have their own unspeakable difficulties. The Immortal Realm is too chaotic now, and there are far too many people who want to protect themselves. It's better for us to take action ourselves than to rely on others, but we must act within our capabilities," Gu Shihan said thoughtfully.

“Shi Han is right. Who says our early arrival in the Immortal Realm isn’t a great blessing or a test? Perhaps our arrival has a deeper meaning, and our merit is our reliance!” Shi Qinghan said.

Yes, Gu Shihan and his group of nine were all people with merits. Such people all have a certain degree of desire to save people. It's not that they want to, but that they have to do it because of the circumstances.

Gu Shihan is not a helpful person, and you could say she's not a good person, but these days, her actions always outpace her thoughts, as if guided by some kind of force.

After discussing it, the group decided to continue their journey. They did not intend to deliberately search for the Blood Demon Sect and the Heavenly Yin Sect, but if they encountered them, they would not stand idly by and would stop their evil deeds.
