Chapter 100 Travels (4)
After dealing with the Wen family for several days, Shi Ming and the others finally met their master.
"Master—"
"Uncle-Master—"
The sect leaders, who had been looking worried, suddenly changed their expressions.
"Why are you here!"
"You bastards, who gave you permission to come!"
"Foolish! Go back now!"
Shi Ming bowed to Xie Jing: "Uncle-Master..."
Xie Jing looked around at the newcomers: "Her idea?"
Shi Ming lowered his head even further: "Yes, please ask your master to come out of the mountains."
Xie Jing laughed in exasperation: "Fine, very well, senior brother, let's go."
Before leaving, he patted Shi Ming on the shoulder, and a rune landed on his shoulder. Xie Jing whispered, "Live well, and wait for your master and me to figure something out."
"Shi Mingming understood."
The head of the Wen family was already waiting outside the door. He looked coldly at Xie Jing and his group: "You all have quite a group of promising young men."
His gaze, like that of a venomous snake, fell upon Shi Ming and the others, causing Chu Yeli to feel a chill run down her spine.
The Wen family's gate slammed shut again. Xie Jing turned to look at the tightly closed gate, lost in thought.
"Senior brother, something has happened in Japan."
Xie Jing grabbed the trembling Linghai Sect Master: "I'd like to trouble the Linghai Sect Master to come with me. Senior Brother, I need you and the Wanjian Sect Master to immediately send people to provide support. There's no time to lose, so let's go first."
"Father, are you just going to let them go like that?"
Wen Lian watched the sect leader leave, feeling dissatisfied but not daring to show it on his face.
The Wen family head sneered, "What's there to be afraid of? Aren't there still a bunch of younger ones? Besides, wouldn't it be better to let the various sects and families fight against the demons while we reap the benefits?"
Upon hearing this, Wen Lian's face immediately lit up with a smile: "Father, you are still the better strategist."
Luo Zai Shui's plan worked immediately. The first to arrive were the Qian family members, followed by the Jiang family members and the Ye family members. The Chu family members were also on their way.
"Young Master Qian has arrived at just the right time."
Nie Xushuang beamed with joy the moment she saw what Qian Kuo had brought.
Qian Kuo waved his hand dismissively: "It's just spending money to buy some trinkets. I know you guys will find them useful. How's the situation now? Where are Ye Xiao and the others?"
Ye Ling had a bad feeling when she couldn't find her younger brother: "Where did they go?"
He was referring to the group of people who disappeared.
Jiang Qian and Shen Xuan also noticed the tense atmosphere between the disciples: "But what happened?"
"Let's come in first and talk about it later."
After everyone was seated, Nie Xushuang prepared tea before they began their discussion.
"The situation is worse than we thought; they went to replace the sect elders."
Nie Xushuang kept it brief: "Right now, the demons are pressing in, and we are really short-handed, which is why we asked you all to come and provide support."
Ye Ling wasn't too surprised to know that his younger brother had gone to the Wen family: "With the demons pressing in, we should naturally fight them together."
Qian Kuo rolled his eyes: "They've all gone, so who's in charge? You?"
Nie Xushuang shook her head: "Not all sects sent people. At the moment, only the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, Linghai Sect, and Xianyun Peak sent people. I am currently leading the suppression, while Shui has gone to the Demon Clan to investigate the situation."
Shen Xian's eyes widened: "She dared to go alone?"
Nie Xushuang had a headache: "They brought some people with them, but we haven't heard from them for several days."
"So, what does Senior Sister Nie need us to do? I, Ye, will certainly do my utmost to help."
Nie Xushuang helped Ye Ling up: "It's nothing more than helping to suppress the demons. If necessary, we need to take the initiative to buy time for Zai Shui and the others."
“That’s easy to do.” Qian Kuo flicked his folding fan and fanned himself casually. “You can command the men I bring.”
Jiang Qian cupped his hands in greeting: "The Jiang family has few members, but we will certainly do our best to help."
"Okay, Xu Shuang thanks everyone in advance."
Nie Xushuang had other things to attend to, so she left first.
Qian Kuo sized up the man who resembled Ye Xiao by almost nine-tenths: "I heard that the Ye family patriarch was also invited to the Wen family. Why didn't Young Master Ye go to replace him?"
He had always been at odds with the other scions of prominent families, and he especially disliked this elegant and refined young master Ye, so naturally he had to find something to say to annoy him.
Ye Ling calmly sipped her tea, not bothering to argue with Qian Kuo. It was Shen Xian who spoke up: "Does the Qian family dare to come this time because they intend to ally with the Wen family in the future?"
Jiang Qian tugged at his sleeve, signaling him to shut up.
Qian Kuo naturally couldn't stand hearing this, and immediately turned his attention to the Jiang family: "What, is the Jiang family planning to clean up their act and change the head of the family?"
Jiang Qian clenched his fist: "It's none of your business to meddle in the Jiang family's affairs."
Luo Zai Shui and his group, who infiltrated the Demon Clan, fared no better.
All around was black fog, so thick that you couldn't see your hand in front of your face. If you moved a little further away, you could no longer see your companions.
Luo Zai Shui and his group concealed their spiritual power and explored the black mist for several days.
"Senior sister, the fog is too thick, the compass is malfunctioning."
Fortunately, Ji Tinghan and Luo Zaishui did not get separated, but the current situation is not much better.
Luo stopped in his tracks, took the compass. For the past two days, they had been concealing their movements and avoiding the demons, but they had lost their way. They needed to find a way out as soon as possible, otherwise they might accidentally stumble into the demons' territory, which would be a real problem.
"This black mist is strange; it must be something from the demon realm. We should be getting closer to the barrier."
This is the only deduction Luo Zai Shui can make. She had also been to the border with Senior Sister Ji back then, but it wasn't like this now.
They naturally dared not use their spiritual power recklessly. If the demons discovered them, they would surely be attacked by the demons, and they would probably be shattered to pieces.
"Sasasa..."
Something's coming...
Luo Zai Shui quickly signaled Ji Ting Han to hold his breath, and the black cloak caught the mist, perfectly concealing their figures.
The thick, ink-like fog not only concealed their figures, but also those of other things.
Those things seemed to sense something different here, but they were not as sensitive as the high-ranking demons, nor were they as thoughtful. They hesitated for a moment, then continued forward as instructed.
Luo held her breath in the water, her steps silent and still, and quietly took Ji Tinghan's hand, moving against the tide of demons.
When passing by a demon clan, one of the demons seemed to sense something, paused for a moment, but was then pushed forward by the demons following closely behind.
The two who had escaped death breathed a sigh of relief.
"With such a large number of demons, Senior Sister Nie might be in trouble."
Ji Tinghan was also still shaken. So many demons had brushed past him; it was as if they had been jumping around in front of the King of Hell. Even ten Senior Sister Nie might not have been able to save them.
"Don't worry, Senior Sister. Senior Sister Nie should have some people coming to help her. She should be able to handle it."
"I hope so."
The most pressing issue right now is this hole that's constantly emitting black smoke, and it's visibly growing larger. If this continues, some of the old things inside might not be able to sit still.
