After transmigrating into the body of a junior sister of a celestial sect, the cultivation world wen

Ning Yue waited silently for the dust to settle, gazing at the mountain in the distance.

The surroundings were quiet, and everyone was focused on resisting their own sadness.

Song Yishi sniffed lightly.

Yang Fei silently wiped the corner of his eye and punched the tree next to him hard.

"Sect Master... and Master, have they... already...?"

They all lowered their eyes, remaining silent and unsure of what to say.

"...He's not dead." A calm voice rang out from behind the group.

The group immediately went on alert, their spiritual energy overflowing in preparation for an attack.

Ji Liyan stood silently behind them, his expression blank.

His clothes were somewhat dirty and tattered, indicating that he had gone through a tough battle to get here.

Is it him? !

The moment Shi Yinghan saw Ji Liyan, he finally relaxed: "...Senior brother, thank goodness you're alright."

"Senior brother!" Ning Yue asked anxiously, "The Fusang Sect has been petrified into a giant mountain! Are Master and the others really alright!?"

Ji Liyan nodded silently: "This is the sect leader's secret technique."

"To petrify the entire sect during a crisis, so as to avoid the danger and restore it in the future."

Yang Fei exclaimed excitedly, "Doesn't this mean we still have a chance!"

"Indeed," Ji Liyan said. "This is the hope of the sect."

The group's disappointed expressions finally brightened, and their excitement was palpable.

"Of course, now is not the time," Ji Liyan nodded.

"We are not strong enough right now, and fighting the demons head-on will not end well. It would be best to hide."

"So we're not going to care about the Upper Realm? Every sect now has demons!" Shi Yinghan said.

Ji Liyan said in a deep voice, "You should know that the Demon Clan's successful invasion this time was due to their alliance with the Purgatory Sect, right?"

Ning Yue and the others nodded silently.

"The Fusang Sect has already fallen to this state, seemingly existing in name only. Qi Bei will not allow the demon race to run rampant in the Upper Realm."

Ning Yue clenched his fists.

"However, they allow demons to go to the lower realms."

"Go to the lower realm—?" Duan Huailin couldn't control his voice. "Demons eat people, and ordinary people in the lower realm have no way to protect themselves..."

Ji Liyan nodded: "As a condition for preventing the demons from wreaking havoc in the upper realm, Qi Bei must release the demons to the lower realm."

"...Go eat people—"

There was a collective gasp of cold air all around.

Shi Yinghan hesitated before taking out the jade token.

"Ying Yan recently sent me a message saying that he couldn't contact the sect and they had to send more people."

The demons have already arrived in the lower realm and are asking me about the situation in the upper realm.

"We can't get in touch with anyone..." Jiang Yishen pondered. "Does Qi Bei forbid sects from sending people to the lower realms?"

"Hmm." Ji Liyan nodded, "Otherwise, we won't recall the demons from that sect."

"Absolutely! Absolutely outrageous!" Lu Qingyan's lips turned pale with anger.

"Doesn't Qi Bei understand the principle of 'if the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold'?!"

If all the people in the lower realm are eaten, can he guarantee that he won't be eaten himself?

"If he understood, he wouldn't have opened the barrier on his own initiative, allowing the demons to invade," Ning Yue said.

A surge of anger welled up inside Ning Yue, making her so furious that she wanted to grab Qi Bei and chop him into eight pieces!

"Anyway, the upper realm is safe!" Ning Yue said, his eyes fixed on the boundary marker in the distance. "Let's go to the lower realm!"

The people around them were all menacing, taking off on their swords to descend to the lower realm—

Shi Yinghan saw Ji Liyan standing there, frozen in place: "...Senior brother, aren't you going?"

"Be careful." He didn't look at Ning Yue and the others.

He simply said, "The sect needs a key to reopen. I'll go get it and then come down to find you."

Shi Yinghan stopped in her tracks and looked in the direction Ji Liyan was looking, near the Fusang Sect.

"...Is it dangerous, senior brother? I'll go with you..."

"No need." Ji Liyan smiled and turned to look at them. "You'd only be a hindrance if you came. Don't worry, I'll come find you. I mean what I say."

He didn't say anything more, fearing that Shi Yinghan and the others would insist on going with him, so he went ahead and quickly disappeared from sight.

Ning Yue watched Ji Liyan's figure disappear from sight: "Let's go, senior brother will come back."

……

time does not wait.

They didn't have time to be sentimental here, as they passed the boundary marker.

Everyone felt immense pressure, their spiritual energy was blocked, and some of it stagnated.

"Damn it!" Yang Fei gritted his teeth. "These damned pressure stones! They've all turned into Qi Refining stage stones! How are we supposed to protect the people in the lower realms?!"

The original purpose of setting up the Pressure Stone was entirely to protect the people of the lower realm from the oppression of cultivators from the upper realm.

Now it's completely the other way around.

The pressure stone hindered the cultivators from the upper realm from helping the people of the lower realm.

Ning Yue sensed his own spiritual power, which must have been the effect of Ning Lianxue at that time.

Her own spiritual power was not suppressed to the Qi Refining stage.

Because she had broken through to the Nascent Soul stage, her cultivation level also rose somewhat after arriving in the lower realm, but was suppressed to the Nascent Soul stage.

In short, it's much better than the Qi Refining stage.

This can be considered one of her safeguards.

So that you won't be caught off guard when facing a powerful demon.

Shi Yinghan sent a message to Ying Yan, who had been waiting for it for a long time.

He was the only one waiting; as the second prince of the lower realm royal family, he didn't even have a single guard by his side.

"How is the situation?" Shi Yinghan asked.

"This is very bad." Ying Yan's exquisite robes were torn in several places. "All the guards have been sent out, but it's still not enough."

He sighed, "Fortunately, some cultivators who came down from the upper realm were willing to help."

Ning Yue said, "We shouldn't delay, we'll help and lead the way."

When Ying Yan saw Ning Yue, his eyes lit up briefly, but then dimmed again when he thought of the current situation in the lower realm.

"Okay, follow me."

"Wait—!" came a trembling voice shouting an order.

Ying Yan frowned and turned her head: "What's wrong?"

Ning Yue followed the gaze and couldn't help but frown.

To Ying Yan’s side, against the wall, stood a carriage with intricate and exquisite carvings.

Because they were hiding in the shadows, they didn't notice them at first.

That's nothing.

The main thing was that there were thirty-two guards standing neatly in a circle around the carriage, all of them well-equipped.

It is very well protected.

Song Yi frowned and said, "Didn't you say all the guards were sent out? How come there are still so many?"

Ying Yan looked embarrassed, as if he was reluctant to speak.

The voice came again from inside the carriage: "You can't take them! How will you protect me if they go to such a dangerous place?"

After a long pause, Ying Yan said, "Inside is my eldest brother, Ying Yang. He insists on coming with me, saying it's safe, and he refuses to send out his own guards."

"I really..."

Ning Yue snorted coldly, glanced at Ying Yan, and then at the well-equipped and clean guards around the carriage.

"So, you, as the older brother, can't even spare your own guards, leaving your younger brother to fight alone outside?"

Ying Yan lowered his head and said, "Never mind him, let's go."

After he finished speaking, he led the way and walked away, even Shi Yinghan looked disgusted: "Let's go."

Ning Yue glanced at the carriage, then ignored it.

"I already told you! Wait a minute!!!"

An angry roar came from inside the carriage, and upon closer listening, it trembled, as if the person was afraid of being truly abandoned.

Ying Yang stretched out a hand from the carriage and pointed at Ying Yan.

"These guys are from the Upper Realm, aren't they? They look pretty good. You can leave, but they have to stay and protect me!"
