Chapter 94: Attacking Us After Attacking the Peach Blossom Sect
Because Song Jiulai’s aura felt rather indistinct.
The other party couldn’t determine if they were of the same level or a lower one.
She spoke rather politely.
Song Jiulai, seeing her, was only slightly surprised. “I am not a cultivator from the Flying Sparrow Sect, but I live on Fei Que Mountain. Do you need something, Your Excellency?”
The female cultivator’s voice was clear and crisp, yet held a hint of urgency. “May I ask if True Person Jing Que of the Flying Sparrow Sect is currently within the sect?”
True Person Jing Que was the leader of the Flying Sparrow Sect, the only Golden Core Stage cultivator.
Song Jiulai then said, “I vaguely know that True Person Jing Que has been away from the Flying Sparrow Sect for some time and should not have returned yet.”
Despair flickered in the female cultivator’s eyes.
Song Jiulai looked at her and asked, “What happened to you?”
The female cultivator sighed. It was a heavy snow day, and she was in a hurry to travel, with very little Spiritual Energy left.
Popping a Tier 2 Qi Replenishing Pill, the female cultivator said with a hint of sorrow, “I am from the Spirit Fox Sect. Our sect… was attacked by Demonic Cultivators. More than half of our sect’s cultivators were killed or injured. Now we can only seek aid from True Person Jing Que of the Flying Sparrow Sect, but, but…”
But True Person Jing Que wasn’t here!
Song Jiulai immediately knew this was a matter of great importance and said, “Why don’t you go to the Flying Sparrow Sect to confirm it yourself? I only heard from Senior Sister Su of the Flying Sparrow Sect, who said that perhaps True Person Jing Que has already returned?”
“It’s too late…”
The female cultivator finally collapsed to the ground, her expression somewhat desolate. “When our Sect Master’s message couldn’t get through, we knew it was too late.”
Now that she had come here and heard Song Jiulai say this, she was actually certain that True Person Jing Que was indeed not in the sect.
Song Jiulai was greatly shocked. “How could you be attacked by Demonic Cultivators? Don’t you have Sect Tokens?”
What about the Myriad Immortal Sect?
Won’t the Myriad Immortal Sect do anything?!
The female cultivator shook her head. “We used it a long time ago… This time, this time the Demonic Cultivators gathered with a purpose.”
In other words, the Spirit Fox Sect had been attacked more than once.
Song Jiulai felt a jolt.
She hadn’t been here for long and still lacked experience.
She truly didn’t know that Demonic Cultivators could attack a sect and cause it to… be on the verge of ruin.
She quickly asked, “Are those Demonic Cultivators very powerful? How many of them are there?”
“They have a Golden Core Stage Demonic Cultivator,” the female cultivator said, tears in her eyes. “Our Sect Master fought desperately, managing to send a few cultivators to escape. I originally intended to come to the Flying Sparrow Sect for aid.”
But after rushing all the way here and learning that True Person Jing Que was not present, that resolve suddenly dissipated.
Even if they sought aid, would the other party definitely save the Spirit Fox Sect?
Demonic Cultivators and human cultivators were not on the same level.
It was more difficult for Demonic Cultivators to advance than humans, but if they succeeded, they were definitely more powerful than humans.
Demonic Cultivators could also shapeshift, and their physical strength was such that some cultivators couldn’t break through their defenses even with Magic Treasures.
Demonic Cultivators of the same tier were practically invincible.
For Song Jiulai to hear this news on this trip was like the sky falling.
She subconsciously thought of her own sect.
Let alone the Flying Sparrow Sect, even with the Flying Sparrow Sect alone, they couldn’t fight a Golden Core Stage Demonic Cultivator!
“How could they attack the Spirit Fox Sect?”
The female cultivator shook her head. “We don’t know either. They came once seven years ago, and who knew they would return seven years later? This time, without the Myriad Immortal Sect, we are completely unable to resist…”
And to die was to die.
In the Cultivation World, there was only the law of the jungle.
Once an opportunity was used, no one would help.
The Myriad Immortal Sect would not come at all.
If a sect was destroyed, it was truly destroyed.
And such battles between small sects might be common on the Yunzhou Continent.
It was just that Song Jiulai had lived too peacefully at the beginning.
“Hiss…”
Song Jiulai thought of her own sect, which was currently like a hungry infant.
How could that be!
After the female cultivator spoke these few words, the despair in her eyes was profound. “Thank you for telling me.”
After saying this, she summoned her Flying Magic Treasure.
Judging by the direction, she was still flying towards Wang’an County.
Song Jiulai didn’t know what kind of shock her news would bring to the Flying Sparrow Sect, but she felt that danger still existed.
The Myriad Immortal Sect would handle major incidents like Demonic Beast attacks.
However, since the Spirit Fox Sect had already used its Sect Token once, no one would intervene if they were now ambushed and their sect destroyed.
Relying on heaven and earth was useless; they could only rely on themselves.
Song Jiulai arrived at the First Mountain with a heavy heart.
This time, she planned to go directly through and enter the border of Cave Demon Valley.
There, disciples from various sects similar to the Flying Sparrow Sect would be present, and Tier 3 Demonic Beasts would gradually appear.
Tier 3 Demonic Beasts were the limit that Qi Refining Stage disciples and Foundation Establishment Stage disciples could currently deal with.
Tier 3 Demonic Beasts varied.
Some were so weak that Qi Refining Stage cultivators could barely handle them, while others were so strong that several Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators were needed to cooperate.
Just like Song Jiulai now, if she relied on her wealth, it wasn’t impossible to fight a Late Qi Condensation Stage cultivator.
The higher the tier of Demonic Beasts, the greater this gap would become.
As for Tier 4 Demonic Beasts, those were no longer something Qi Refining Stage cultivators could handle, and Song Jiulai couldn’t even imagine them now.
She had already gained experience dealing with Tier 2 Demonic Beasts. As Song Jiulai moved closer to the border of Cave Demon Valley, the rolling mountain ranges became more pronounced.
Despite the heavy snow, the density of Tier 2 Demonic Beasts clearly increased. While the killing was exhilarating,
if supplies couldn’t keep up, it was too easy to be swarmed and killed.
She killed them with ease and acquired quite a few things.
During this process, she encountered an acquaintance from last time.
Senior Sister Qiao from the Peach Blossom Sect!
The Senior Sister who had conveniently sent her and Lin Qian to the First Mountain.
The other party clearly remembered Song Jiulai and spotted her while Song Jiulai was fighting.
She landed by stepping on a peach blossom branch, her eyes showing surprise at Song Jiulai’s presence here. “The border of Cave Demon Valley is just a bit further. You, a Mid Qi Condensation cultivator, are going there?”
Song Jiulai’s brow twitched. “No, I plan to train here for a while before going.”
Senior Sister Qiao nodded.
Regardless, Song Jiulai was very brave.
Very few Mid Qi Condensation cultivators from other sects were as audacious as her.
“It’s still snowing heavily; cultivators like you shouldn’t be out,” Senior Sister Qiao said. Suddenly, Song Jiulai asked, “Senior Sister Qiao, do you know about the incident at the Spirit Fox Sect?”
“Spirit Fox Sect?” Senior Sister Qiao’s expression changed abruptly. “Who told you?”
“On the way here, I met a female cultivator who said the Spirit Fox Sect was attacked by Demonic Cultivators, and most of the sect’s cultivators were killed or injured…”
As soon as she finished speaking, Senior Sister Qiao, who was standing on the peach blossom branch, disappeared.
This matter seemed more serious than she had imagined.
Song Jiulai pursed her lips and asked the System, “Should I continue recruiting people?”
System: “If you can’t defeat them, more people will just be cannon fodder. Besides, they might not attack so soon—and they might not even attack us. Don’t think about the worst-case scenario.”
Song Jiulai: “What’s the best-case scenario?”
System: “We might not be their top priority. Perhaps they’ll attack the Peach Blossom Sect before attacking us.”
“…”
Evil creature!
