yǔ jǐ míng shī zhí bù tóng ， cǐ shí cǐ kè ， lǎo zhě què zhòu méi sī suǒ ， liǎn shàng lù chū jǐ fēn yí huò ， duì fāng zěn me xiǎo de ， zhè fāng yuán wàn lǐ ， quán dōu méi yǒu mó zú ， nán dào tā de shén shí ， jìng rán kě yǐ kuà yuè wàn lǐ zhī guǎng me ？
与几名师侄不同，此时此刻，老者却皱眉思索，脸上露出几分疑惑，对方怎么晓得，这方圆万里，全都没有魔族，难道他的神识，竟然可以跨越万里之广么？
Unlike his several junior disciples, the elder was frowning in thought at this moment, showing a hint of doubt on his face. How did the other party know that there were no魔族 within a ten-thousand-li radius? Could it be that his divine sense could span such vast distances?
biàn shì lí hé yǐ shàng de qián bèi ， yě bù kě néng yǒu rú cǐ kě pà de ， nán dào duì fāng zhēn shì dòng xuán qī yǐ shàng de dà néng cún zài ma ？
便是离合以上的前辈，也不可能有如此可怕的，难道对方真是恫玄期以上的大能存在吗？
Even for seniors above the Separation and Union stage, it would not be possible to have such terrifying abilities. Could the other party really be an existence of the Tyrant Demon Sovereign realm or higher?
kě yīn wèi tiān dì zé ， nà yàng de cún zài bú shì bù néng gòu lái rén jiè me ？
可因为天地则，那样的存在不是不能够来人界么？
However, due to the laws of heaven and earth, such existences were not unable to come to this world.
chú le yí huò hái shì yí huò 。
除了疑惑还是疑惑。
All that remained was doubt.
suí hòu lǎo zhě yáo le yáo tóu ， zì jǐ zhǐ shì yī xiǎo xiǎo de zhù jī qī xiū shì bà le ， gàn má xiǎng nà me duō ， guǎn tā yuán yīn rú hé ， jǐn kuài jiāng zhè xiē shī zhí dài huí zōng mén cái shì zuì zhòng yào de ， nà wèi qián bèi bù guǎn xiū wèi rú hé ， dàn xiāng xìn tā de pàn duàn yīng gāi méi cuò ， bù guò zài zhè lǐ dān gē jiǔ le kě jiù nán shuō ， yī huì er zài lái gè gǔ mó zì jǐ kě jiù zhuī huǐ mò jí le 。
随后老者摇了摇头，自己只是一小小的筑基期修士罢了，干嘛想那么多，管他原因如何，尽快将这些师侄带回宗门才是最重要的，那位前辈不管修为如何，但相信他的判断应该没错，不过在这里耽搁久了可就难说，一会儿再来个古魔自己可就追悔莫及了。
The elder shook his head, dismissing these thoughts. He was merely a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator after all; why think so much? Regardless of the reason, it was most important to bring these junior disciples back to the sect as soon as possible. The other party's cultivation level might be unknown, but he believed that his judgment would not be wrong. However, if they lingered here for too long, who could say what would happen; another ancient demon appearing now would leave him regretting it.
“ nǐ men lì rú hé ？”
“你们力如何？”
"Are you all well?"
“ jīng guò gāng gāng de xiū xī hǎo le xǔ duō 。” zhòng nián qīng xiū shì rú cǐ zhè bān de huí dá shuō 。
“经过刚刚的休息好了许多。”众年轻修士如此这般的回答说。
"Yes, Master Uncle," the young disciples replied after a brief rest.
“ hǎo ， wǒ men lí kāi cǐ chù 。”
“好，我们离开此处。”
"We should leave this place."
lǎo zhě yī biān shuō ， yī biān yǐ jiāng fēi jiàn jì chū ， rén jiàn hé yī de xiàng qián fēi qù le 。
老者一边说，一边已将飞剑祭出，人剑合一的向前飞去了。
As the elder spoke, he already summoned his flying sword, merging with it to fly forward.
“ shì ， shī shū 。”
“是，师叔。”
"Yes, Master Uncle,"
qí tā dì zǐ bù gǎn dài màn ， yě huà zuò jīng hóng ， fēng chí diàn chè de gēn zài hòu miàn le 。
其他弟子不敢怠慢，也化作惊虹，风驰电掣的跟在后面了。
The other disciples did not dare to delay and transformed into streaks of light, racing behind.
zài shuō lìng yī biān 。
再说另一边。
On another side,
lín xuān yě zài jí sù de fēi xíng zhe ， zuì jìn de yì wài ， hái zhēn shì yí gè jiē zhe yí gè , xiān shì chuán sòng chū cuò , zì jǐ mò míng qí miào de lái dào le yún zhōu 。
林轩也在急速的飞行着，最近的意外，还真是一个接着一个,先是传送出错,自己莫名其妙的来到了云州。
Lin Xuan was also flying at a rapid pace. The recent series of unexpected events were one after another. First, he had mistakenly teleported to Cloud Province. Then, he heard that the Twelve Provinces were suffering from demon calamities, their situation precarious.
rán hòu jīng wén tiān yún shí èr zhōu zhèng zāo yù mó jié zhī zhōng ， chǔ jìng jiù yí gè fēng yǔ piāo yáo lái xíng róng 。
然后惊闻天云十二州正遭遇魔劫之中，处境就一个风雨飘摇来形容。
Fortunately, the Star Sea Pavilion and the Flying Cloud Sect could still hold on, which was fortunate in misfortune.
hǎo zài tiān yá hǎi gé yǔ bài xuān gé miǎn qiǎng hái néng zhī chēng zhe ， zhè suàn shì bù xìng zhōng de wàn xìng le 。
好在天涯海阁与拜轩阁勉强还能支撑着，这算是不幸中的万幸了。
As for Yuyu, Lin Xuan was not overly worried; his wife's cultivation level was clear to him. With her personality, self-preservation should be no problem.
zhì yú yú yú ， lín xuān fǎn ér bù tài dān xīn ， ài qī de xiū wèi ， tā xīn zhōng yǒu shù ， zài jiā shàng kǒng què de xìng gé ， zì bǎo yīng gāi shì wán quán méi yǒu wèn tí de 。
至于娱娱，林轩反而不太担心，爱妻的修为，他心中有数，在加上孔雀的性格，自保应该是完全没有问题的。
Lin Xuan felt somewhat relieved that he had teleported incorrectly. Otherwise, the Twelve Provinces of Heaven Cloud would have fallen into the hands of demons from another world. But now that he had arrived, the situation naturally changed.
lín xuān dào yǒu diǎn qìng xìng chuán sòng chū cuò ， fǒu zé tiān yún shí èr zhōu zhēn huì luò rù yì jiè yāo mó zhī shǒu bù guò xiàn zài zì jǐ lái le ， qíng kuàng zì rán yòu dà bù xiāng tóng 。
林轩倒有点庆幸传送出错，否则天云十二州真会落入异界妖魔之手不过现在自己来了，情况自然又大不相同。
This sounded arrogant, but if it were not for his ascension to the Profound Abyss realm and acquiring so many powerful techniques and treasures, he might still only be able to protect himself. He could hardly even protect the Flying Cloud Sect "But now...
zhè huà tīng qǐ lái ， kuáng ào dé méi biān rú guǒ huàn chéng fēi shēng líng jiè yǐ qián ， tā yě zhǐ néng zì bǎo ， kǒng pà lián bì hù bài xuān gé dōu zuò bú dào “ bù guò xiàn zài me ……
这话听起来，狂傲得没边如果换成飞升灵界以前，他也只能自保，恐怕连庇护拜轩阁都做不到“不过现在么……
With circumstances changing, I have advanced to the Profound Abyss realm, with numerous powerful techniques at my disposal. Ancient demons cannot come from the laws of heaven and earth.
shì yì shí yí ， zì jǐ kě zǒu jìn jiē dào le dòng xuán qī , hái yǒu rú cǐ duō lì hài de shén tōng bǎo wù ér gǔ mó yīn wèi tiān dì zé ， bù kě néng yǒu tài lì hài de cún zài guò lái de 。
事易时移，自己可走进阶到了洞玄期,还有如此多厉害的神通宝物而古魔因为天地则，不可能有太厉害的存在过来的。
Since that is the case, what should he fear? With his own strength, he might be able to turn the tide alone.
jì rán rú cǐ ， zì jǐ hái yǒu shén me hǎo wèi jù ， yǐ yī rén zhī lì ， lì wǎn kuáng lán wèi bì shì bàn bú dào dì 。
既然如此，自己还有什么好畏惧，以一人之力，力挽狂澜未必是办不到地。
However, his immediate priority was to head for Drifting Cloud Valley. After all, among the people in Cloud Province, apart from his wife, the girls at the Flying Cloud Sect were undoubtedly the ones he valued most.
bù guò dāng wù zhī jí shì xiān qù líng lóng gǔ ， bì jìng rén yǒu yuǎn jìn qīn shū ， zài lín xuān de xīn lǐ ， yún zhōu de gù rén zhī zhōng ， chú le ài qī ， kěn dìng shì bài xuān gé de jǐ gè yā tou zuì wèi kàn zhòng 。
不过当务之急是先去玲珑谷，毕竟人有远近亲疏，在林轩的心里，云州的故人之中，除了爱妻，肯定是拜轩阁的几个丫头最为看重。
Lin Xuan did not want them to encounter any misfortune; thus, he had to go to Drifting Cloud Valley first.
lín xuān kě bù xiǎng tā men yù jiàn bù cè ， dāng rán yào xiān qù líng lóng gǔ 。
林轩可不想她们遇见不测，当然要先去玲珑谷。
Unfortunately, he was unfamiliar with the way. But this wasn't a problem. As that elder said, just ask a cultivator of higher cultivation for directions or extract souls from ancient demons to learn their whereabouts—both were very easy for him.
kě xī zì jǐ bù shí lù ， bù guò zhè bù suàn wèn tí ， jiù xiàng nà lǎo zhě suǒ shuō suí biàn zhǎo yī míng xiū wèi gāo diǎn de xiū xiān zhě wèn wèn jiù qīng chǔ huò zhě dǎi yī míng gǔ mó chōu hún liàn pò ， zhè duì zì jǐ lái shuō ， dōu shì fēi cháng róng yì de 。
可惜自己不识路，不过这不算问题，就像那老者所说随便找一名修为高点的修仙者问问就清楚或者逮一名古魔抽魂炼魄，这对自己来说，都是非常容易的。
Three days passed in an instant.
zhuǎn yǎn ， sān tiān guò qù le 。
转眼，三天过去了。
A streak of light pierced through the sky. Lin Xuan already knew where Drifting Cloud Valley was. Along the way, he encountered some cultivators and ancient demon cultivators. He did not bother interacting with them. As for the ancient demons, there was no need to be courteous; upon encountering any, he would immediately kill them.
yī dào jīng hóng huà pò cāng qióng lín xuān yǐ jīng xiǎo de ， líng lóng gǔ zài hé chù ， zhè yī lù shàng ， tā yě yù jiàn le yī xiē xiū shì yǔ gǔ mó xiū shì bú yòng shuō ， lín xuān bìng méi yǒu shàng qù dā lǐ de yì tú zhì yú gǔ mó ， dāng rán jiù méi yǒu shén me hào kè qì le ， fán shì yù jiàn le ， jiù dòng shǒu miè shā zài shuō 。
一道惊虹划破苍穹林轩已经晓得，玲珑谷在何处，这一路上，他也遇见了一些修士与古魔修士不用说，林轩并没有上去搭理的意图至于古魔，当然就没有什么好客气了，凡是遇见了，就动手灭杀在说。
To tell the truth, with his current strength that made him nearly invincible in the Eastern Sea of Spirit Realm, facing these ancient demons, it wasn't a matter of fighting but rather bullying.
jiǎng yī jù shí huà ， yǐ lín xuān rú jīn zòng héng líng jiè dōng hǎi dōu nán féng dí shǒu de shí lì ， duì shàng zhè xiē gǔ mó ， nǎ lǐ shuō dé shàng dòu chuán ， jiǎn zhí jiù shì qī fù rén a ！
讲一句实话，以林轩如今纵横灵界东海都难逢敌手的实力，对上这些古魔，哪里说得上斗圌，简直就是欺负人啊！
Low-level ones were easily dispatched by his gaze. Occasionally, even if he encountered an婴灵 (yinling) or higher, a single sword energy blast would suffice to send them to their doom.
dī jiē de bú yòng shuō ， yǎn shén jiù miǎo le 。
低阶的不用说，眼神就秒了。
Throughout the journey, there was not a single opponent that could match him. The ancient demons in his hands numbered in the thousands, but compared to the number of invading monsters, they were merely沧海一粟 (a drop in the ocean). Lin Xuan did not care about this; he was rushing and had no intention of dealing with the monsters. He would first ensure that the Flying Cloud Sect was unharmed.
jí shǐ ǒu ěr pèng jiàn yuán yīng jí bié yǐ shàng de ， suí shǒu yī fú ， yī dào jiàn qì yě jiù zú yǐ ràng duì fāng yǔn luò 。
即使偶尔碰见元婴级别以上的，随手一拂，一道剑气也就足以让对方陨落。
Estimating the distance, there were still millions of li left, but given his evasion techniques, three hours should be sufficient.
yī lù zǒu lái ， gēn běn jiù méi yǒu pèng jiàn yī hé zhī dí , ér shí zài tā shǒu zhōng de gǔ mó , mǎn dǎ mǎn suàn ， kǒng pà yě yǒu shù qiān zhī duō ， kě xī xiāng duì yú rù qīn cǐ jiè de yāo mó shù liàng ， bù guò shì cāng hǎi yī sù ， dāng rán lín xuān yě méi yǒu zài hū ， tā rú jīn shì jí zhe gǎn lù ， yě méi yǒu xiǎng zhe yào fàng shǒu duì fù yāo mó ， xiān què dìng le bài xuān gé wú yàng zài shuō 。
一路走来，根本就没有碰见一合之敌,而实在他手中的古魔,满打满算，恐怕也有数千之多，可惜相对于入侵此界的妖魔数量，不过是沧海一粟，当然林轩也没有在乎，他如今是急着赶路，也没有想着要放手对付妖魔，先确定了拜轩阁无恙再说。
"How are the girls?"
gū suàn le yī xià jù lí ， hái yǒu shù bǎi wàn lǐ ， dàn yǐ zì jǐ de dùn shù ， sān gè shí chén yīng gāi zú gòu le 。
估算了一下距离，还有数百万里，但以自己的遁术，三个时辰应该足够了。
Lin Xuan was thinking when suddenly his flight slowed down, and he narrowed his eyes, turning to look to his left.
“ jǐ gè yā tou dōu hái hǎo me ？”
“几个丫头都还好么？”
A large group of cultivators entered his divine sense range. There were thousands of them. If they belonged to the same sect, it would not be strange. Perhaps they had moved to avoid ancient demons migrating, but their attire and appearance clearly indicated that they did not belong to the same sect; there were monks, commoners, and even some who looked like wandering cultivators, with all ages present.
lín xuān zhèng zhè yàng xiǎng zhe ， tū rán dùn guāng yī huǎn ， tóng shí yǎn jīng wēi mī ， niǔ tóu xiàng zuǒ cè kàn qù 。
林轩正这样想着，突然遁光一缓，同时眼睛微眯，扭头像左侧看去。
What was going on?
yī dà qún xiū shì jìn rù le tā de shén shí gǎn yìng jù lí 。
一大群修士进入了他的神识感应距离。
Had a large group of ancient demons appeared behind them, chasing them?
zú yǒu shù qiān zhī duō ， rú guǒ shì tóng yī zōng mén hái bù chū qí ， yě xǔ shì wèi le duǒ bì gǔ mó qiān xǐ ， dàn zhè xiē rén ， kàn chuān zhe dǎ bàn ， míng xiǎn yǔ tóng yī mén pài bù zhān biān ， yǒu sēng yǒu sú ， hái yǒu de dǎ bàn gèng xiàng shì sàn xiū ， nán nǚ lǎo shào dōu yǒu 。
足有数千之多，如果是同一宗门还不出奇，也许是为了躲避古魔迁徙，但这些人，看穿着打扮，明显与同一门派不沾边，有僧有俗，还有的打扮更像是散修，男女老少都有。
However, it didn't seem so. Their expressions were not panicked but rather high-spirited.
zhè shì zěn me huí shì ？
这是怎么回事？
This was strange.
nán dào hòu miàn chū xiàn le dà duì de gǔ mó ， zhèng zài zhuī gǎn tā men me ？
难道后面出现了大队的古魔，正在追赶他们么？
Lin Xuan hesitated briefly before approaching them. To avoid causing a sensation, he concealed his cultivation to the middle stage of婴灵 (yinling).
bù guò ， yě bù xiàng , zhè xiē rén de shén sè bìng bù huāng zhāng ， fǎn ér xiǎn de shì qì gāo áng 。
不过，也不像,这些人的神色并不慌张，反而显得士气高昂。
Soon, they met with that group of cultivators.
zhè kě yǒu xiē qí guài le 。
这可有些奇怪了。
"Salutations from Lin."
lín xuān lüè yī chí yí ， biàn suí hòu yíng le shàng qù ， dāng rán ， wèi miǎn jīng shì hài sú ， xiū wèi shōu liǎn dào le yuán yīng zhōng qī 。
林轩略一迟疑，便随后迎了上去，当然，未免惊世骇俗，修为收敛到了元婴中期。
"Amen, this friend seems unfamiliar. May I ask which sect you belong to?"
hěn kuài , jiù yǔ nà dà duì xiū shì xiāng yù 。
很快,就与那大队修士相遇。
Leading the group was an old monk who looked benevolent and was a middle-stage婴灵 cultivator.
“ lín mǒu zhè xiāng yǒu lǐ 。”
“林某这厢有礼。”
"I am merely a wandering cultivator; my name is not worth mentioning. May I ask Master, where are you heading?"
“ ē mí tuó fó ， zhè wèi dào yǒu miàn shēng dé jǐn ， bù zhī dào shì nǎ mén nǎ pài de xiū shì ？”
“阿弥陀佛，这位道友面生得紧，不知道是哪门哪派的修士？”
"How could you not know..."
nà duì xiū shì zhōng lǐng tóu de ， shì yī míng lǎo sēng ， kàn shàng qù cí méi shàn mù ， nǎi shì yuán yīng zhōng qī de xiū xiān zhě 。
那队修士中领头的，是一名老僧，看上去慈眉善目，乃是元婴中期的修仙者。
A rough voice entered his ears as Lin Xuan followed its direction. It came from a bearded giant who looked imposing and was slightly lower in cultivation at the early stage of婴灵.
“ lín mǒu zhǐ shì yī sàn xiū ér yǐ ， jiàn míng bù zú guà chǐ ， gǎn wèn dà shī ， nǐ men zhè shì qù nǎ lǐ ？”
“林某只是一散修而已，贱名不足挂齿，敢问大师，你们这是去哪里？”
"Could it be that I should know?" Lin Xuan showed surprise on his face; perhaps what the other party sought to do was something everyone knew about.
“ zěn me ， dào yǒu bù xiǎo de ……”
“怎么，道友不晓得……”
"The Flying Cloud Sect's main headquarters is currently besieged by a large army of ancient demons. We are heading there for reinforcements," a woman's voice said, and Lin Xuan turned around to see a middle-aged beauty in court attire.
yī yǒu xiē cū chuán lǔ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān xún shēng wàng qù ， shì yī qiú xū dà hàn ， xíng mào wēi wǔ ， xiū wèi bǐ nà lǎo sēng dī shàng yī xiē ， yuán yīng chū qī 。
一有些粗圌鲁的声音传入耳朵，林轩循声望去，是一虬须大汉，形貌威武，修为比那老僧低上一些，元婴初期。
"What? The main headquarters of the Flying Cloud Sect is under siege by a large group of ancient demons?" Lin Xuan was shocked.
“ zěn me ， lín mǒu yīng gāi xiǎo de ？” lín xuān liǎn shàng lù chū yì wài zhī sè ， nán dào duì fāng suǒ tú móu de ， shì rén jǐn jiē zhī de dà shì 。
“怎么，林某应该晓得？”林轩脸上露出意外之色，难道对方所图谋的，是人尽皆知的大事。
"How could you not know?"
“ rú jīn bài xuān gé zǒng duò ， zhèng bèi gǔ mó dà jūn tuán tuán wéi zhù ， wǒ děng shì qián qù fù yuán de 。” yī nǚ zǐ de shēng yīn chuán rù ěr duǒ ， lín xuān huí guò tóu ， shì yī zhōng nián měi chuán fù 。
“如今拜轩阁总舵，正被古魔大军团团围住，我等是前去赴援的。”一女子的声音传入耳朵，林轩回过头，是一中年美圌妇。
The bearded giant's expression did not show any less surprise than Lin Xuan. This matter had already spread throughout the world.
“ shén me ， bài xuān gé zǒng duò ， nǐ shì shuō líng lóng gǔ ， zhèng bèi dà qún gǔ mó wéi gōng ？” lín xuān dà jīng shī sè 。
“什么，拜轩阁总舵，你是说玲珑谷，正被大群古魔围攻？”林轩大惊失色。
"Imperial Spirit Cultivation Sect, Heavenly Ingenuity Sect, and the Departed Medicine Palace have all been destroyed in succession. Currently, only three major sects remain in Cloud Province: the Flying Cloud Sect, Pine Wind Academy, and Star Sea Pavilion. These demons from another world want to remove the last three nails. Once these three main headquarters are annihilated, it will be unimaginable for the morale of the Twelve Provinces' cultivators."
“ zěn me ， dào yǒu nǐ bù xiǎo de ？”
“怎么，道友你不晓得？”
"Indeed, this time, the ancient demons aim to win at all costs. They have dispatched their most elite forces to besiege the main headquarters of the three sects, and the number is enormous, almost overwhelming," the woman in court attire added.
nà qiú xū dà hàn de biǎo qíng yì diǎn yě bù bǐ lín xuān de jīng yà shǎo shén me ， cǐ shì dōu yǐ jīng zhuàn biàn tiān xià le 。
那虬须大汉的表情一点也不比林轩的惊讶少什么，此事都已经传遍天下了。
"How long has it been?" Lin Xuan's expression darkened as he listened.
“ yù líng zōng ， tiān qiǎo mén hái yǒu lí yào gōng xiān hòu fù miè ， rú jīn yún zhōu zuì dà de mén pài ， jǐn shèng xià sān gè ， bù jǐn bài xuān gé ， sōng fēng shū yuàn yǔ tiān yá hǎi gé dōu bèi gǔ mó de dà jūn tuán tuán wéi zhù le ， nà xiē yì jiè yāo mó ， shì xiǎng yào jiāng yún zhōu zuì hòu sān kē dīng zi bá chú ， yí dàn sān pài huī fēi yān miè diào le ， duì yú tiān yún shí èr zhōu xiū shì shì qì de dǎ jī shì wú xiǎng xiàng de 。”
“御灵宗，天巧门还有离药宫先后覆灭，如今云州最大的门派，仅剩下三个，不仅拜轩阁，松风书院与天涯海阁都被古魔的大军团团围住了，那些异界妖魔，是想要将云州最后三颗钉子拔除，一旦三派灰飞烟灭掉了，对于天云十二州修士士气的打击是无想象的。”
"It has been a month." The woman in court attire sighed slightly.
“ bù cuò ， zhè cì gǔ mó shì zhì zài bì děi ， duì yú sān pài zǒng duò de wéi gōng dōu pài chū le zuì wèi jīng ruì de zhàn lì ， ér qiě shù liàng jí duō ， jiǎn zhí kě yòng pū tiān gài dì lái xíng róng 。” nà gōng zhuāng měi chuán fù yě zài yī páng jiē kǒu 。
“不错，这次古魔是志在必得，对于三派总舵的围攻都派出了最为精锐的战力，而且数量极多，简直可用铺天盖地来形容。”那宫装美圌妇也在一旁接口。
"What? A month?" Lin Xuan stared wide-eyed, his face turning even more gloomy.
Unlike his several junior disciples, the elder was frowning in thought at this moment, showing a hint of doubt on his face. How did the other party know that there were no魔族 within a ten-thousand-li radius? Could it be that his divine sense could span such vast distances?
Even for seniors above the Separation and Union stage, it would not be possible to have such terrifying abilities. Could the other party really be an existence of the Tyrant Demon Sovereign realm or higher?
However, due to the laws of heaven and earth, such existences were not unable to come to this world.
All that remained was doubt.
The elder shook his head, dismissing these thoughts. He was merely a Foundation Establishment stage cultivator after all; why think so much? Regardless of the reason, it was most important to bring these junior disciples back to the sect as soon as possible. The other party's cultivation level might be unknown, but he believed that his judgment would not be wrong. However, if they lingered here for too long, who could say what would happen; another ancient demon appearing now would leave him regretting it.
"Are you all well?"
"Yes, Master Uncle," the young disciples replied after a brief rest.
"We should leave this place."
As the elder spoke, he already summoned his flying sword, merging with it to fly forward.
"Yes, Master Uncle,"
The other disciples did not dare to delay and transformed into streaks of light, racing behind.
On another side,
Lin Xuan was also flying at a rapid pace. The recent series of unexpected events were one after another. First, he had mistakenly teleported to Cloud Province. Then, he heard that the Twelve Provinces were suffering from demon calamities, their situation precarious.
Fortunately, the Star Sea Pavilion and the Flying Cloud Sect could still hold on, which was fortunate in misfortune.
As for Yuyu, Lin Xuan was not overly worried; his wife's cultivation level was clear to him. With her personality, self-preservation should be no problem.
Lin Xuan felt somewhat relieved that he had teleported incorrectly. Otherwise, the Twelve Provinces of Heaven Cloud would have fallen into the hands of demons from another world. But now that he had arrived, the situation naturally changed.

Soon, they met with that group of cultivators.
"Salutations from Lin."
"Amen, this friend seems unfamiliar. May I ask which sect you belong to?"
Leading the group was an old monk who looked benevolent and was a middle-stage婴灵 cultivator.
"I am merely a wandering cultivator; my name is not worth mentioning. May I ask Master, where are you heading?"
"How could you not know..."
A rough voice entered his ears as Lin Xuan followed its direction. It came from a bearded giant who looked imposing and was slightly lower in cultivation at the early stage of婴灵.
"Could it be that I should know?" Lin Xuan showed surprise on his face; perhaps what the other party sought to do was something everyone knew about.
"The Flying Cloud Sect's main headquarters is currently besieged by a large army of ancient demons. We are heading there for reinforcements," a woman's voice said, and Lin Xuan turned around to see a middle-aged beauty in court attire.
"What? The main headquarters of the Flying Cloud Sect is under siege by a large group of ancient demons?" Lin Xuan was shocked.
"How could you not know?"
The bearded giant's expression did not show any less surprise than Lin Xuan. This matter had already spread throughout the world.
"Imperial Spirit Cultivation Sect, Heavenly Ingenuity Sect, and the Departed Medicine Palace have all been destroyed in succession. Currently, only three major sects remain in Cloud Province: the Flying Cloud Sect, Pine Wind Academy, and Star Sea Pavilion. These demons from another world want to remove the last three nails. Once these three main headquarters are annihilated, it will be unimaginable for the morale of the Twelve Provinces' cultivators."
"Indeed, this time, the ancient demons aim to win at all costs. They have dispatched their most elite forces to besiege the main headquarters of the three sects, and the number is enormous, almost overwhelming," the woman in court attire added.
"How long has it been?" Lin Xuan's expression darkened as he listened.
"It has been a month." The woman in court attire sighed slightly.
"What? A month?" Lin Xuan stared wide-eyed, his face turning even more gloomy.
