Senior Sister Bai Yueguang is incredibly strong.

Chapter 98 Travels (2)

The disciples have been extremely busy these past two days, fighting off the approaching demons during the day and discussing how to rescue their sect leader at night.

The disciples of the immortal sects, who had been fighting the demons for more than ten days, were exhausted, yet there was still no sign of reinforcements, and they seemed to be retreating.

Chu Yeli rubbed his nose wearily: "We can't keep going like this."

Sun Yuan has been in a bad mood these past two days, and has already smashed several wooden tables. Sun Heng was afraid that he would break the few tables he had left, and that he would have to spend time repairing them, so he quickly grabbed the man's hand and said, "Brother, calm down, calm down."

"Damn it! Are the other sects and families dead?! Even in this state, they're still hiding and won't come out!"

Nie Xushuang was getting a headache from the noise: "We're running out of pills, and the number of wounded is increasing."

Ye Xiao and Shi Ming didn't look much better either; both of them were injured, and their bandaged wounds were starting to bleed again.

Luo looked around at the water, seemingly wanting to say something but then stopping herself.

"Junior Sister Luo, what's your idea?"

Nie Xushuang could tell that she had something to say, but seemed to have some reservations.

"My mind is a bit of a mess right now." Luo Zai Shui rubbed her forehead, her mind a jumbled mess. Something seemed to have flashed by just now, but she hadn't had a chance to grasp it.

Chu Yeli crossed his arms: "The number of demons arriving is increasing, and they are getting stronger. If this continues, it's only a matter of time before the city falls."

Luo Zai Shui tapped her fingertips rhythmically on the table. After listening to Chu Ye Li's words, her eyes lit up: "I've got it."

"What?"

All eyes turned to her once again.

Luo stopped what she was doing in the water and presented a map to everyone. She pointed to a spot on the edge of the map: "We're going to the Demon Realm."

Shi Ming was taken aback by her bold suggestion. His eyelids twitched, and he immediately refused: "No, it's too dangerous."

Chu Yeli seemed to know what she wanted to do and gestured for her to continue.

Luo Zai Shui's fingertips landed on the areas marked in red: "It's not hard to deduce that the demons were able to escape because the formations in these areas were damaged. We might as well solve the problem at its source and be done with it once and for all."

“It could indeed solve the problem once and for all.” Ye Xiao did not directly agree to Luo Zaishui’s suggestion, naturally he had his own considerations, “but as Brother Shi said, it is too dangerous.”

Nie Xushuang also didn't quite agree with this method: "Moreover, looking across the entire world, only Immortal Venerable Xie Jing and the Sect Master and elders of Linghai Sect are capable of repairing this great formation. Although you are their disciples, but..."

Chu Yeli stretched and said, "Although my old man is cunning, he has taught me everything he was supposed to, so I can make up for it this time."

When Luo met his gaze, a knowing smile appeared in both of their eyes—the arrogance of two exceptional individuals.

"What a coincidence, my master also taught me."

Sun Yuan impatiently interrupted them: "Alright, it's easy to reinforce the formation, but what about the demons blocking our way? Once they know you're making a move, they'll definitely come out in full force, and we simply can't control them."

Luo Zai Shui had naturally considered this issue as well, and her fingertips tapped faster and faster on the table.

After a long pause, she slowly said, "I'll go and get my master to come out."

Chu Yeli was so startled that he almost fell off the table and chair: "You really are reckless."

Shi Ming frowned: "Even if you go, the Wen family won't replace you. They specifically asked for the chief disciple. I'll go and replace him."

Nie Xushuang understood Luo Zaishui's plan: "Xianyun Peak will take the lead in replacing people, and Immortal Venerable Xie Jing will emerge to repair the formation. In this way, other sects and families will surely try to replace their sect leaders as well. Anyone who is not senile should send people to support them as soon as possible."

Ye Xiao said calmly, "So the only victim in this matter is the disciple."

Chu Yeli frowned: "But the direct disciple is the sect's hope, and the sect may not agree to replace him. They might even put the direct disciple in the position of sect leader."

A plan was taking shape in Luo Zai Shui's heart. She gently tapped the table: "Everyone, I have a plan."

Unbeknownst to them, everyone was subtly centering their attention around Luo Zai Shui.

The map on the desktop suddenly transformed into a map of the entire cultivation world.

Luo Zai Shui pointed to the area marked in red: "We will split into three groups. First, we will use the pretext of repairing the formation to attract the attention of the demons. At that time, the demons' firepower will be concentrated here. If you want to escape, there are only two ways: one is for the disciples of Xianyun Peak to go out, and the other is for the disciples of Linghai Sect to use the teleportation array to escape. As for which side has a higher survival rate, I can't guarantee it."

After a moment's thought, Shi Ming said, "There are only about ten disciples of Xianyun Peak who are proficient in using the Wind Riding Technique. We can let Jian Muyi and Ji Tinghan go together."

“No, I’ll go.” Luo Zai Shui pointed to the darkest area. “Ting Han is better at using talismans, but he’s not as proficient as me in array formations. This time, I’m not just going to attract fire, but also to investigate the damage to the barrier so that I can repair it later.”

Chu Yeli said seriously, "Since you're going, I'll naturally go too, but can your junior brother handle the city's protective formation?"

"That's natural."

Luo Zai Shui naturally had no doubt about Ji Ting Han's abilities: "Besides the group that draws the demons' firepower, we also need someone to borrow people from the surrounding areas, from sects and families to all kinds of independent cultivators. Call as many as you can."

Nie Xushuang frowned: "This matter is probably difficult to accomplish. With such a big commotion, they haven't taken any action. It's impossible to summon them."

"What if they come voluntarily?" Luo Zai Shui curled the corners of his lips. "The scions of sects and aristocratic families are naturally different from the sect leaders and patriarchs. They are young, in the prime of their lives, and naturally want to make a name for themselves. If they learn that a prodigy needs their help, do you think they wouldn't be eager to help?"

Nie Xushuang realized what was happening and smiled, "So it was because you were using everyone's reputation. In that case, it's time to make use of the reputation of the Huayu Sect."

Sun Heng adjusted his monocle: "In that case, those who need something from the Metallurgical Sect can naturally be invited."

“Yes.” Luo Zai Shui pointed to the surrounding cities with his fingertips. “If there is profit to be made, these people will naturally come. However, this matter needs to be arranged as soon as possible. We can have Xue Xin and the others spread the news first.”

"What about the last route?" Chu Yeli felt that the plan was missing a link, and he vaguely felt that Luo Zaishui's plan was hiding a deeper scheme.

"Finally—" Luo Zai Shui's fingertip landed on the Wen family's territory, "we need the sect leader and elders to intervene."

Luo Zai Shui revealed his considerations over the past few days: "With sects and families without leaders, the cultivation world will naturally be in turmoil. We need a group of people to stabilize the situation, so we must replace the sect leaders and elders."
