Chapter 870 838: Standing Guard with Full Readiness
"Judging by the aura, they are indeed three Nascent Soul Evil Demons."
Liu Qiumei said.
Her strength was somewhat greater than Zhiwei's, allowing her to clearly perceive the power of those two Outer Realm Demons.
Upon hearing it was Nascent Soul Evil Demons, Lu Zhiwei, Song Minghui, and others all had a change in expression, finding it troublesome.
According to the information released by the Dubhe Institute, there were currently three Outer Realm Demons, with strength reaching the Nascent Soul stage, that had broken out of the Demon Abyss.
These three, coincidentally, were now appearing outside the Cyan Mountain Sect's gate.
Their own Ancestor was still in secluded cultivation, so if the opponent attacked Cyan Mountain Sect's gate, who could resist them?
"Inform the entire sect to immediately enter a state of battle readiness."
Lu Zhiwei said seriously, asking Song Minghui to relay the order.
Lu Yuanshan and Lu Changfeng were not in the sect at the moment, as they were following the Dubhe Institute's orders to quell the Outer Realm Demons' chaos.
Currently, the various affairs of the Cyan Mountain Sect were temporarily managed by Lu Zhiwei and Liu Qiumei.
The two women were now cooperating seamlessly, and they could effectively oversee the Cyan Mountain Sect.
"Zhiwei is right, activate the Sect Protection Array with full force as well. Now is not the time to let our guard down; we must face them with all our strength."
Liu Qiumei also spoke up.
"Yes!"
Upon hearing this, Song Minghui dared not delay.
She quickly left to convey the orders.
She was already an elder of the Cyan Mountain Sect and could effectively disseminate orders.
As Song Minghui acted, disciples within the Cyan Mountain Sect began to become vigilant, all preparing rigorously.
The appearance of the Outer Realm Demons made them all tense at heart.
For Outer Realm Demons, they felt some degree of fear within.
The opponent has come from another realm, naturally possessing formidable strength.
Moreover, what kind of techniques and cultivation methods the opponent would use was all unknown.
Fear often stems from the unknown.
The disciples of Cyan Mountain Sect maintained a state of alertness, ready to act at any moment, while constantly paying attention to the distant battle.
The involvement of Nascent Soul True Monarchs was an extremely rare scene, which intrigued them, and they all had the desire to watch the battle to see if they could gain some insights from it.
At the same time, they also kept an eye on the actions of the Outer Realm Demons, wanting to see how the opponent would attack and what kind of moves they would display.
Rumble.
The battle of this level triggered a massive range of rumbling sounds, with the surrounding mountains affected, being impacted by the powerful magical energy.
Jiuhua True Monarch and Liu Taixuan, both of their strengths, were at the second layer of the Nascent Soul stage.
They each displayed divine techniques, attacking the two Outer Realm Demons.
The remaining Outer Realm Demon was dealt with individually by Chen Xianhe.
Unlike crystallization or Golden Core cultivators, Nascent Soul True Monarchs could unleash power that could shatter mountains and rivers with a mere lift of hands, with their moves not being too flashy.
For instance, Jiuhua True Monarch now did not wield a magical artifact, but rather used a hand seal divine technique, where a large hand continually slapped or grabbed at the Nascent Soul Evil Demon.
The Nascent Soul Evil Demon wasn't a pushover, and it employed a kind of instant teleportation body technique. Each time it flickered, black aura would surge on its body, allowing it to evade Jiuhua True Monarch's attack in an instant.
The Nascent Soul Evil Demon's evasive actions were peculiar, causing Jiuhua True Monarch's attacks to often hit the air.
Not just on Jiuhua True Monarch's side.
The battle on Liu Taixuan's side bore similar circumstances.
Liu Taixuan's powerful attacks were evaded by the opponent several times, with the Tier Six Spiritual Artifact, the Profound Celestial Treasure Wheel, slashing empty twice.
As for Chen Xianhe, he used a kind of binding divine technique aimed at confining the Outer Realm Demon within a space.
He did this not to slay the opponent, but to restrict its movements.
He had enough self-awareness to know that with his strength, it was obviously impossible to slay the opponent, so he would rather find a way to constrain its actions.
As the battle intensified, more and more disciples from the Cyan Mountain Sect gathered to watch.
Not only from the Cyan Mountain Sect, but also many cultivators from around Cyan Lotus Mountain heard the commotion, watching from afar to investigate the situation.
When they saw it was a battle of Nascent Soul Level, these cultivators displayed expressions of surprise or gravity.
A snow-white figure appeared, landing gracefully beside Lu Zhiwei and others.
"Senior."
The appearance of this snow-white figure caught Lu Zhiwei's attention, and upon recognizing the visitor as the Void Celestial Sword Spirit, she immediately greeted.
The eyes of Liu Qiumei, Song Minghui, and others also focused on the Void Celestial Sword Spirit.
They had all recently learned of the Void Celestial Sword Spirit, knowing it was a Nascent Soul stage expert following Lu Ping.
Now, the appearance of the Void Celestial Sword Spirit gave them a sense of reassurance, and they all secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
With the Void Celestial Sword Spirit guarding the Cyan Mountain Sect, if those Outer Realm Demons truly invaded, the Void Celestial Sword Spirit could at least confront them.
As for how long Lu Ping would be in secluded cultivation, that remained unknown.
"Outer Realm Demons have arrived here."
There was a gleam in the eyes of the Void Celestial Sword Spirit as she watched the distant Outer Realm Demons.
This was not her first encounter with Outer Realm Demons.
Previously, she had followed the Void Celestial Extreme Saint to combat the Outer Realm Demons.
However, that was within the Demon Abyss.
Now, the Outer Realm Demons had broken out of the Demon Abyss, entering here.
Moreover, they had reached the Cyan Mountain Sect's gate.
This was something she had not anticipated.
These days, she had stayed by Lu Ping's side, observing his refining of the Thousand-Star Demon-Slaying Sword, and had not paid attention to the external developments.
"Senior might not be aware..."
Liu Qiumei, very respectful towards the Void Celestial Sword Spirit, immediately spoke, briefly summarizing some recent events.
She informed the Void Celestial Sword Spirit about when the Outer Realm Demons emerged from the Demon Abyss.
Upon learning that within the Cyan Mountain Sect, Lu Yuanshan and Lu Changfeng had acted, joining Dubhe Institute's call to quell the Outer Realm Demons' chaos outside, a hint of admiration appeared in the Void Celestial Sword Spirit's eyes.
As Righteous Cultivators, that's exactly what they should do.
With the Void Celestial Sword Spirit overseeing, the tension on the faces of Lu Zhiwei and others subsided.
While watching the battle, Liu Qiumei inquired about Lu Ping's secluded cultivation, wanting to understand his cultivation state.
This was also something Lu Zhiwei wanted to ask about.
"His secluded cultivation is nearing its end; I believe he'll emerge very soon."
"You don't need to worry about this."
The Void Celestial Sword Spirit said few words, simply replying placidly.
Seeing the Void Celestial Sword Spirit's indifferent disposition, not fond of talking, the crowd quieted down, refraining from further conversation with her for the time being.
