Chapter 866 Prepare in advance
Yu Ling remained expressionless as he expressed his thoughts. He was worried about his only disciple and still wanted to enter the ancient battlefield. Now that Hao Ran Zhen Zun was in charge of the sect and Hao Hui had taken on the responsibility of the sect leader, even if he left for ten years, it would not affect the operation of "Hive".

Because of Ranxi, they established a good relationship with the "gossips" in the spirit world, which enabled them to better grasp information from various regions. Therefore, when the sect made any major decisions, they had sufficient and accurate information to assist them, so even though they were a second-rate sect in the spirit world, they were not too passive.

Haoran Zhenzun also understood Yu Ling's insistence, and nodded, saying:

"Since you have made your decision, I will not stop you."

A hint of relief appeared on Yu Ling's usually cold face, and she then asked in a deep voice:

"Ancestor, was the 'Creating Immortals' plan proposed by Ranxi?"

Haoran Zhenzun took a sip of the Snow Lotus Wine that Yu Ling had offered him, and raised an eyebrow, saying:

"It seems that you, as the master, understand your disciple very well. It was indeed Ranxi who first brought up this matter. After consideration, the five True Venerables stationed on the ancient battlefield decided to retrieve the Immortal Bone first."

It was by chance that Ranxi encountered this situation. They helped the Ghost Realm deal with its troubles, but as a result, all eight of them were teleported to the ancient battlefield. They disrupted the evil cultivators' plan to nurture the soul of the evil god, and also saved Yun Chen from the Prajna Temple in the Buddhist Realm and Han Lian from the Cold Snow Sect in the Spirit Realm.

While training on the ancient battlefield, the two discovered the evil cultivator's conspiracy. The evil cultivator wanted to disguise himself as a spiritual cultivator and infiltrate our camp by refining immortal bones. The two wanted to return to their base as soon as possible to report the news, but were discovered by the evil cultivator and chased all the way. By chance, they met Ranxi, who had entered the ancient battlefield.

Ranxi and her group rescued the people and brought the news back to their base. To prevent the immortal bone from being defiled by evil cultivators, Huayi and the others planned to retrieve it first. Ranxi went along as well. It was during that mission that they were forced to use forbidden techniques, which allowed them to escape danger and successfully bring back the immortal bone.

Yu Ling listened very attentively. These messages clearly came from the ancient battlefield. Those who could receive these messages must be cultivators at the Mahayana True Venerable level from various sects. The True Venerables stationed there sent out the messages in advance so that they could prepare early.

Seeing that Yu Ling had taken his words to heart, Hao Ran Zhen Zun continued:
"We old guys have all secretly communicated that the next ten years of garrison duty will definitely be more difficult, so we will increase the number of cultivators entering. We have also decided that the cultivators entering the ancient battlefield this time must be at least at the Void Refinement stage, because the evil insects are not easy to deal with."

The cultivators currently stationed on the ancient battlefield have suffered heavy losses. If the evil insects hadn't been discovered in time, the casualties could have been even greater. All cultivators who accepted the mission must be aware of this.

Yu Ling nodded, indicating that he understood. Fortunately, his cultivation level had reached the standard for entering the ancient battlefield. However, he had never heard of this "evil insect" before, so he asked:
"Ancestor, what are these evil insects? Were they created by evil cultivators? What is the purpose of these evil insects?"

Haoran Zhenzun sighed and tossed a jade slip to Yu Ling, saying:

"See for yourself! Evil cultivators will stop at nothing, and in the end they won't even know how they died."

Yu Ling took the jade slip and probed it with her divine sense. Her face darkened, and her already indifferent face became even more frosty. She uttered the word "despicable" from her thin lips.

Haoran Zhenzun took another sip of spiritual wine and said:

"This message needs to be made known to the cultivators who have accepted the mission to guard the ancient battlefield. If they choose to withdraw, there is no need to force them."

"Yes, Ancestor, I will handle this matter."

Yu Ling knew why the ancestor did this. Besides, once the last batch of cultivators stationed on the ancient battlefield returned, the news about the "evil insects" would be impossible to keep secret. It was better to inform the sect's cultivators in advance so that they wouldn't be caught off guard even if they encountered them.

Yu Ling stayed on the back mountain for an hour before returning to the "Hive" and placing this important message in the mission hall, which all disciples who had accepted the duty could view first.

Some disciples, after seeing the message, were even more eager to try, feeling that this was a rare opportunity for trial, and their determination to accept the mission became even stronger. Some cultivators, after careful consideration, felt that their abilities and cultivation were insufficient to handle the situation, and ultimately chose to give up the mission. The disciples of the Mission Hall did not try to persuade them further, but simply crossed out the names of the withdrawing cultivators.

However, news about the "evil insect" also spread within the sect, causing much discussion among the members.

"Junior brother, I heard you withdrew from this garrison mission?"

"Yes, senior brother, the requirements for accepting the mission have been raised. I haven't broken through to the Void Refinement stage, so I have to withdraw with regret."

"Alright, there's a reason why the requirements for this mission have been raised. The evil cultivators have used new methods on the battlefield. The previous batch of garrisoned cultivators suffered heavy losses and were left with a lot of casualties. The cultivators in the spirit realm are saying that they may withdraw from the ancient battlefield ahead of schedule."

"Tsk, really? Then are you still going, senior brother?"

"Go, why not go? It'll be a good opportunity to witness the despicable methods of evil cultivators."

"Then you should exchange for more life-saving treasures, and I will wait for your safe return."

"Don't worry, in addition to the pills and talismans provided by the sect, I have also prepared many of my own, and I have also used sect points to exchange for life-saving treasures."

These discussions also reached Feng Jiayun's ears, and she went to see Lord Yu Ling with a worried expression.

Previously, Yunxi had accepted the mission to provide support to the Ghost Realm. After news came that all the supporting cultivators had disappeared, Feng Jiayun was extremely worried. Fortunately, her daughter's soul lamp was still lit. Although she did not know where her daughter was, at least her life was not in danger.

Two days ago, she learned from Yu Ling that her daughter had been accidentally teleported to the ancient battlefield. She wasn't stupid. Yu Ling only said that her daughter was in the ancient battlefield and didn't say anything else. She knew that her daughter might be injured. Otherwise, Yu Ling would definitely have told her that her daughter was fine.

Therefore, after much thought, Feng Jiayun decided to take on the mission of guarding the ancient battlefield. After breaking through to the Nascent Soul stage, her alchemy skills had made a qualitative leap. She could handle the task of refining pills while guarding the rear.

However, after hearing the sect disciples' discussions, she knew that she did not meet the standards for accepting the garrison mission. But she was really worried about her daughter's safety, so she decided to ask Lord Yu Ling for help.

Yu Ling was not surprised by Feng Jiayun's request to see him and had his disciple invite Feng Jiayun to a side hall.

Feng Jiayun waited for fifteen minutes before seeing Yu Ling. She immediately stood up and said:

"Danfeng Feng Jiayun pays respects to the Venerable Lord Yuling."

Yu Ling simply nodded, and after taking her seat, she went straight to the point and asked:

"What brings you to see me at this hour?"

Feng Jiayun had already prepared her answer, and immediately replied after Yu Ling asked the question:
"I am worried about Yunxi and would like to take on the mission to guard the ancient battlefield, but my cultivation is not high enough. Could you please make an exception for me, Your Excellency?"

Yu Ling hadn't expected Feng Jiayun to come to him for help, but he still frowned and said:
"Since your cultivation level is insufficient, you should stay and guard the sect!"
