Chapter 14.1: 14.1
The Tianyuan Continent was vast and sparsely populated with an abundance of spiritual energy . When one looked down from the sky, one could see dense greenery of spiritual plants and fertile land for miles and miles .
Between the mountains and rivers where the spiritual energy gathered, immortal fog covered the lands . Sects were hidden in the mountains with the occasional cultivator appearing with their swords, slicing through the sky with a clear light .
Steep mountains stretched for thousands of miles south of the plains . Thousands of years ago, the righteous world joined forces to drive the demons and demonic cultivators away from the Central Plains, using the Cross Mountains as a natural barrier to build a solid line of defense .
The Thousand Forks Pass was a critical point between these mountains . Behind the mountain pass were 600 miles of plains in the shape of a fine scepter with a pearl at the top with a round shape .
At the moment, the Thousand Forks Pass all the way to Cloud Water Song was occupied by the demons .
Bare ground ran hundreds of miles long as far as the eye could see, and traces of warfare were left behind everywhere . The Demon Clan did not have much of a territorial sense, so after occupying a place, they were like locusts that spoiled everything they could and left devastation everywhere .
Right now, the vanguards of the Demon Clan had already crossed Cloud Water Song and were heading deeper into the mountain pass . The ones camping between Cloud Sea Song and the Thousand Forks Pass are the Demon Clan’s main forces .
After the Demon Lord was ambushed, the Demon Army was completely devoid of any discipline and acted all based on instinct . To put it simply, they waited for the rich land to turn barren before they would launch a general attack on the next pass .
Burning, killing, looting, plundering . There was no evil in which they did not partake in .
When a cultivator reached the Nascent Soul stage, they could control their swords . And, when the Demon Clan achieves the Nascent Soul Stage, black wings would grow on their backs .
It was said that when the high-ranked Demon Army came out at once, it was like a swarm of locusts passing through . Their black wings were so overwhelming that they were capable of stirring up fierce winds from afar .
As soon as Wei Liang and Lin Jiu flew over Cloud Water Song, they saw a dense gathering of demons at the front left . At first glance from mid-air, the demons looked like a gigantic hornet’s nest . From afar, they could see quite a few high-ranking demons flying around, just like a pack of sharks sniffing out a blood trail .
Wei Liang raised his brows and immediately commanded his sword downwards .
A crescent-shaped sword aura swung out from the encirclement, slashing with an arc of light . More than a dozen demons were cut into half as they howled and rolled on the ground . The demons were more resilient than humans . As long as their hearts or brains were not injured, they could drag their broken bodies and continue pouncing at their enemies, and it might take more than a few days to actually kill them in that state .

That was also the most frightening part about them .
Then, another sword light exploded once more towards the densest gathering of demons .
This time, the curve was a full moon shape .
The moonlight rose up for a moment and actually overshadowed the bright midday light, darkening the fields .
Of course, this was only a literary way of describing it . If you were to ask Lin Jiu what it looked like, then it was probably blinding .
She instantly recognized it as the female lead Liu Qing Yin’s ultimate skill, Full Moon Clear Light .

Wait, why was Liu Qing Yin here?
Lin Jiu suddenly heard the hum of a sword advancing towards her . A dark-gray figure followed by the lively scent of greenery blasted towards the dense gathering of demons .
A clear shadow could be seen reflected on the clear moon as if begonia flowers were blossoming underneath it . This move worked seamlessly with Liu Qing Yin’s ultimate move . In a split second, a large opening was viciously torn open in the impenetrable demonic encirclement .
Mu Rong Chun’s long robe swayed without a breeze, with dark sword figures surrounding him . He swept into the encirclement from the breach and a slight hint of anxiety could be heard in his usually calm voice . “Junior Sister! Are you injured?! Run away, quick!”
Liu Qing Yin’s voice was calm and indifferent . “Fourth Senior Brother . No need to care about me . I have committed a mistake and I am willing to accept my punishment . ”
Mu Rong did not stop . “The penalties for both a bad disciple and negligence is no more than killing a hundred Nascent Soul demons and facing a wall for half a month . How many have you killed now? Let’s go! I heard some winds howling on my way here . I’m afraid the great demons are already rushing over . This place is already very dangerous!”
The Divine Demon realm was equivalent to a cultivator at the Immortal Ascension stage .

Liu Qing Yin and Mu Rong Chun were both late-stage Immortal Ascension Great Sword Immortals so they weren’t afraid of a one-on-one fight, but this place has already been occupied by the demons, so it was easy for them to be overwhelmed by a heavy siege . When that time comes, they won’t be able to leave even if they wanted to . The three Great Sword Immortals who lost their lives previously had died because they had gotten into the heat of the battle and unknowingly had all their escape routes cut off by the higher-ranked demons, and eventually fell from exhaustion .
Liu Qing Yin scoffed . “I am a cultivator, why should I fear death? At most, I will move on and join Second Senior Brother, Third Senior Sister, and Fifth Senior Brother . With them as companions in the other world, it won’t be lonely at all .
She had no idea why, but when she mentioned she wouldn’t be “lonely”, a faint trace of grief could be heard in her words . Even a steel-hearted girl like Lin Jiu couldn’t help but soften at that, wanting to go up to her and soothe her .
Mu Rong Chun was even more heartbroken . He had none of his usual calm and raised his voice, speaking in a tone carrying disappointment . “Junior Sister! Why do you have to do this! There are so many good men in the world, why must you give your life up because of one!”
“Senior Brother, you will understand when the time comes for you to meet the one you are destined to be with,” Liu Qin Yin answered in a self-deprecating tone .
“He isn’t your destiny!” Mu Rong Chun’s sword aura was becoming more disorderly .
“He is . ” Faint hints of exhaustion could be heard in her voice .
