Chapter 60: United Efforts (Seeking Recommendations)

  Su Che ran out for dozens of feet, saw that Hua Lu and the others did not chase after him, so he stopped in his tracks. Since they didn't give chase, there was no need for him to run into the lair of the Domain's demonic beasts to seek death.

  "Hey kid, wait for me!" The person who had been giving Su Che a hard time at first shouted loudly.

  Hua Lu held his identity, but it was impossible to shout at Su Che, an outer disciple, so he turned around and entered the transmission array, starting another attempt without giving up.

  Lao Hei muttered to himself: "Alright, you, with your swept-back eyebrows, narrow eyes, collapsed nose bridge, and toad-like mouth... I've got your looks memorized. One of these days, I'll catch you and give you a good scolding, one hundred times over, to cure you of your bad habits."

  Actually, the Tianyu Peak disciple wasn't as disheveled as Lao Hei described, having a slightly sunken nose was indeed true, but in other aspects, he looked quite decent.

  Su Che was completely unbothered and silently stood in place.

  After waiting for a while, several figures were seen running towards this side from afar. As the distance drew closer, it was confirmed that they were all inner disciples of the Ten Great Main Peaks who had reached the later stages of Qi Refining. Each and every one of them looked flustered and obviously had encountered the same danger as Hua Lu and the others.

  "What's going on?"

  "Can't use the transmission array?"

  "What can be done about it?"

  "Hualu Shixiong, what's going on? Why is the Demon-Sealing Domain experiencing such an anomaly?"

  They knew that the transmission array was out of order, and they all started asking questions in a flurry. After all, in their opinion, Hua Luosan was one of the first batch of people to arrive at the transmission array.

  Then, more and more people came one after another, gathering in front of the transmission array, with dozens of disciples gathered together, making the scene even more chaotic.

  Until Su Che saw the figures of Yu Qing and Ling Long appearing from afar, he secretly let out a sigh of relief in his heart. It was not only because someone who could support him had finally arrived, but also because the siblings were safe and sound, and hadn't fallen into the clutches of evil...

  "Su Che, why are you still here?" Ling Long asked first from a distance of over ten zhang.

  The brother and sister looked a bit tired, but overall they were neatly dressed and uninjured, so the situation wasn't too bad.

  "Yu Qing Shixiong, Linglong Shijie, two hours ago, I felt something was off and wanted to leave, but found that the transmission array had lost its power..." Su Che stepped forward and recounted some of the events that had just occurred, including the fact that Tianlu Peak's Hua Lun and three others had tried to capture him.

  "They have always been so shameless!" Linglong muttered in hatred.

  "It's all right as long as nothing happens......" Yu Qing's sword eyebrows were tightly locked, and what he was worried about at this moment was that the transmission array had already lost its spirit, and how these people would get through this difficult pass.

  Yu Qing and Ling Long had already arrived, so Su Che could follow them to the transmission array with ease. Hua Lu and the others were also wise enough not to mention the possibility of Su Che being possessed by the Heavenly Devil again. Because at this moment, it was not the time to argue about such things, and besides, a small character like Su Che was not worth causing internal conflicts at such a critical juncture.

  After a while, the number of cultivators who rushed to this place had reached hundreds. Everyone's experience was exactly the same, all encountering a large army of heavenly demons led by a demon general, with numerous smaller demon heads...

  "The demons outside the domain have emerged in full force, completely breaking through regional boundaries and forming countless legions to besiege us in an extremely orderly manner. This is unprecedented in the 2,000-year history of the Demon-Sealing Domain. Such a drastic change is no longer something that we disciples can handle on our own; we must quickly think of a way to notify the masters of each main peak."

  The speaker was a young woman, and like Yu Qing and Hua Lu, she had achieved the Great Perfection of Qi Cultivation. Yu Qing called her "Mu Yun Shi Mei".

  The information from the Laohei newspaper is: Tianji Peak's Muyun, 24 years old, an inner disciple ranked eighth on the Wind and Cloud List. Additionally, Tianji Peak, one of the top ten main peaks, specializes in the way of formation techniques.

  Muyun's words received unanimous recognition from the crowd, and Yucheng added: "I think that the Tianmo Army is forcing us to this place from all regions, just to wipe us out. I estimate that they will be here soon."

  Yu Qing's inference caused many people to be greatly frightened, but Mu Yun, Hua Lu and several others with relatively strong powers were silent nods with solemn faces.

  "What can we do? If the demonic army kills us, aren't we all doomed?"

  "Yes, even if a senior from the sect comes to rescue us, it will be too late!"

  "It's all over, I'm done for. Just now, while escaping for my life, I've already used up all my talismans and symbols. Now, I'm at the end of my rope, how can I withstand the Heavenly Demon Army?"

  Many people were flustered and lost their usual arrogance as inner disciples.

  "Calm down!" Mu Yunjiao's face turned cold, her face frosty, as she scolded: "Such panic, what dignity is this?"

  He pointed at Su Che standing in the crowd and said, "As inner door disciples, each of you has a cultivation base of late-stage Qi Refining. Look at yourselves, yet none of you are as calm as that little junior brother."

  As soon as she said that, everyone's eyes gathered on Su Che, and it was only then that they realized that this little guy who had only cultivated to the second layer of Qi Refining had an extremely natural expression, with a face that didn't have the slightest hint of stiffness from trying too hard to remain calm.

  "How could an outer disciple of the second layer of Qi training end up in the Sealing Demon Domain?" Many people finally had a chance to feel curious.

  Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Su Che's surface was calm, but secretly he had a guilty conscience, after all, the anomaly in the Demon Sealing Domain might have something to do with him, so he didn't want to become the focus of everyone's attention.

  Seeing everyone's doubts, Yu Qing took the initiative to explain: "Su Shidi is someone I brought in, he is a disciple of my Xuanji Peak Spiritual Herb Garden who has been specially cultivated."

  "A key disciple you're cultivating, and yet you bring him into the Demon Sealing Realm? Is this key cultivation or key murder?" Mu Yun glanced at Yu Qing with a hint of indifference, her words sounding like she was picking a fight, but her tone was surprisingly gentle, even carrying a hint of unusual feeling.

  Yu Qing shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Who would have thought that such a change would occur."

  Xuanji Yüqīng's woman luck was famous throughout the Tiān Xuán Zōng, and at this moment, Huá Lù couldn't hold back her jealousy again, interrupting: "Don't talk about these things now, since we've guessed that the Tiān Mó Jūn will arrive soon, let's hurry up and make preparations for battle. Mù Yún Shījiě, I'll have to trouble you and your fellow disciples from Tiān Jī Fēng to quickly set up a defensive formation. With a formation to defend, we can hold on for a bit longer, maybe even wait for the senior members of our sect to come and rescue us."

  "Good."

  "Alright."

  Including Muyun, several Tianji Peak disciples nodded together.

  Over a hundred inner disciples were busy, at this moment, everyone had to put aside their prejudices and work together; only Su Che was not strong enough to help, so he could only stand in the center of the transmission array, so as not to get in the way and hinder others from setting up the formation.

  After a while, the clear and crisp voice of Mu Yun was heard: "We need to set up an earth-based defensive formation, which requires some earth-based defensive talismans to consolidate several array eyes. Who still has earth-based defensive talismans, I hope everyone can contribute them. At this moment, individual defense power is useless, only the overall strength can possibly withstand the attack of the Tianmo Army, I hope everyone can understand this truth."

  Muyun's words were straightforward. At this critical moment, everyone is in the same boat, and whoever still hides their true intentions is simply being extremely foolish.

  However, although the principles are all clear, during the escape process just now, everyone's spiritual symbols have been exhausted, especially defensive spiritual symbols. It can be said that it was fortunate to bring a few more defensive spiritual symbols, which could save lives and escape here, otherwise, they would have been swallowed up by the Tianmo army like those unfortunate fellow disciples who encountered difficulties, leaving no bones behind.

  Mu Yun shouted three times in a row and only received six miserable earth-based defensive spirit talismans, all of which were the weakest lower-grade spirit talismans.

  "Alas, just these few pieces, what great effect can they have..."

  Muyun was holding the spiritual symbol and sighing with her head down, but unexpectedly, someone else came forward and said to her in a low voice: "Sister, I have a few more here, can you use them?"

  She looked up to see that it was the outer sect junior brother who had just reached the second level of Qi training, and judging from his bone age, he was only fifteen years old. Mu Yun had thought that such an outer sect disciple would not be able to produce anything good, at most just a few low-grade spirit symbols, but when she took over those few spirit symbols and took a look, she was stunned.

  It's actually four mid-grade earth-type defensive spirit symbols, and one high-grade 'Adamantite Wall Technique'.

  "Top-grade Spirit Symbol!" Mu Yun couldn't help but exclaim in surprise.

  It wasn't that she was being overly cautious, but rather that she had never seen a high-quality spirit symbol before. On the contrary, when entering the Demon Sealing Domain, she also brought several high-quality spirit symbols with her. However, during the escape process earlier, in order to protect herself and a few other fellow disciples, she used up all of the spirit symbols. She didn't expect that this little junior brother still had some in stock. It's truly unknown how many defensive spirit symbols he carried, allowing him to escape here under the pursuit of the Heavenly Demon Army...

  Noticing her surprise, Su Che voluntarily explained: "I didn't venture deep into the Demon Sealing Domain, I just trained around this area, so I haven't encountered the Heavenly Demon Army."

  "Oh." Mu Yun nodded, thinking that this was reasonable. However, she still said seriously: "At the moment of crisis, such a top-grade spirit symbol can play a crucial role in the entire formation, Little Brother, you are indeed making a great contribution! If we can get through this difficulty and keep our lives safe after leaving the Demon Sealing Domain, I and others will definitely reward you tenfold or even hundredfold."

  "Shi Jie spoke too heavily." Su Che said with a very generous smile: "A few Ling symbols, to me, are also nothing."

  "Alright." Mu Yun nodded again, and it seemed that he had taken note of Su Che in his mind.

  Afterwards, Su Che retreated into the transmission array, silently watching the commotion.

  Some inner disciples who were busy nearby learned that the most inconspicuous Su Che was actually the one who contributed the most, and they nodded to thank him or gave a thumbs up...

  Before that, Su Che had replenished more than a dozen middle-grade spirit symbols and three high-grade spirit symbols on Wu Hua Peak. Following the principle of prioritizing survival, most of them were defensive-type spirit symbols, mainly earth-based defensive spirit symbols, as they had the strongest defensive effect. Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of these spirit symbols that he gained the favor and respect of many inner sect disciples, which was also an unexpected gain.

  Because on the road of cultivating immortals, human relationships are also extremely important.
