Chapter 316 The Immortal Sect is in Peril, Yao Ying is in Danger
Chapter 316 The Immortal Sect is in peril, Yao Ying faces danger
Dark clouds rolled in, obscuring the sky and the sun. Amidst thunder and lightning, a suffocatingly evil aura swept over us.
The once peaceful and tranquil Immortal Sect is now surrounded by a dense circle of dark demonic creatures!
My heart tightened and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
“Wen Chen…” I couldn’t help but squeeze his hand tightly, my palms sweating.
He gripped my hand tightly, his grip firm and strong, as if silently telling me: Don't be afraid, I'm here.
This power, like a warm current, instantly soothed the unease in my heart.
Looking around, the defensive fortifications surrounding the Immortal Gate were dilapidated, with ruins and broken walls, a shocking sight.
The once majestic city walls are now riddled with holes and on the verge of collapse.
The air was thick with the stench of blood, and painful groans could be heard all around.
The disciples of the immortal sect, dressed in rags, covered in wounds, and utterly exhausted, fought off the demons' attacks.
Their eyes were filled with despair and fear, yet they still gripped their weapons tightly, vowing to defend their homeland to the death.
"Immortal Venerable Xiao Yao!" A familiar voice rang out. I turned to see General Zhao staggering towards me, his armor stained with blood, his face pale, and his voice hoarse. "We...we can't hold on much longer!" He knelt on one knee, his heavy voice trembling slightly. "There are too many demons, and they are exceptionally ferocious. Our brothers have suffered heavy casualties..."
My heart sank. Looking at this tragic scene, an indescribable grief and anger welled up inside me.
The once prosperous immortal sect has now fallen to this state!
"What is the casualty situation?" I suppressed my grief and tried my best to keep my voice calm.
"More than half of our disciples have been killed or wounded..." General Zhao's voice grew softer and softer, almost choked with sobs, "The Thunder Demon King's power is far greater than we anticipated..."
Thunder Demon King!
The name struck me like a thunderbolt.
He was a notorious villain, known for his cruelty and bloodlust.
Unexpectedly, he actually dared to attack the immortal sects!
“Wen Chen…” I turned to look at Wen Chen beside me, whose expression was also unusually solemn.
I know this battle will be exceptionally difficult.
Suddenly, a disciple rushed over, "Immortal Venerable Xiao Yao, Pharmacist Lin... Pharmacist Lin requests your presence..."
I hurried toward Pharmacist Lin's tent. A strong smell of medicine wafted up at me, mixed with a nauseating stench of blood, making my stomach churn.
Inside the tent, the painful groans of the wounded rose and fell, making my heart ache.
Pharmacist Lin was busy treating the wounded, his forehead was covered in sweat, and his face was unusually pale.
"Pharmacist Lin, how is the situation?" I asked anxiously, my voice trembling slightly.
Pharmacist Lin raised his head, his brows furrowed, and sighed helplessly: "Immortal Venerable Xiao Yao, medicine... medicine is in severe shortage, and many wounded cannot be treated..." His voice was hoarse, with a hint of despair.
My heart sank suddenly and a chill ran from the soles of my feet to the top of my head.
The shortage of medicine means that more wounded people will lose their lives!
I looked around. The tent was crammed with wounded soldiers, all of them pale and weak, as if they would die at any moment.
The air was thick with the scent of death, so oppressive that it was hard to breathe.
"How could this happen?" I suppressed my grief and tried my best to keep my voice calm.
“The Thunder Demon King’s army is not only numerous, but it also uses a special poison that is very rare. We…we don’t have the antidote…” Pharmacist Lin’s voice grew softer and softer, almost choking up.
Just then, Deacon Li walked over, trembling, his face ashen, his lips quivering as he said, "The Immortal Sect... the Immortal Sect is definitely doomed! We... we should escape quickly..." His voice was filled with fear and despair, as if he could already see the end of the Immortal Sect.
His words were like a thunderclap, exploding in the crowd and intensifying the already tense and oppressive atmosphere.
Some of the wounded began to sob softly.
I turned sharply to look at Deacon Li. At this critical moment, he actually said such discouraging things!
"Shut up!" I shouted sharply, my voice icy and chilling.
Deacon Li trembled with fear and dared not speak again, but simply shrank back and hid to the side.
"Pharmacist Lin, how much medicine do you have left?" I took a deep breath, trying to calm myself down.
"It's only enough to last... less than a day..." Pharmacist Lin's voice trembled, tinged with despair.
One day! We only have one day left! My heart sank to the bottom.
"Immortal Venerable Xiao Yao, what should we do now?" Fairy Zhou asked anxiously from the side, her voice trembling slightly but also revealing a firm resolve.
I clenched my fists tightly, my gaze sweeping firmly over everyone, and said, word by word, "The Immortal Sect must never fall into the hands of demons!"
The Immortal Sect is on the verge of collapse, yet I feel an unprecedented sense of powerlessness.
It wasn't because of the enemy's strength, but because of the doubts raised by their own people.
I proposed reorganizing the defense and developing new strategies, but I was met with a skeptical response.
"She has only just inherited the immortal techniques, what practical experience could she possibly have?" A shrill voice came from the crowd, piercing my eardrums like a sharp blade.
"Exactly, why show off at a time like this? Don't get us all killed!" another voice chimed in, its tone full of sarcasm and disdain.
Whispers surged in like a tide, enveloping me.
Doubt, fear, despair...
Various negative emotions intertwined, forming a huge net that tightly bound me.
I felt the air thinning, making it hard to breathe, and a huge rock pressing on my chest, making it feel suffocating.
Anger burned within me, and I gritted my teeth, trying my best to control myself.
Unwilling!
I can not be reconciled!
I've worked my hardest to get to where I am today, am I going to be defeated by these ignorant remarks?
“Wen Chen…” I turned to look at Wen Chen beside me, seeking a bit of comfort.
He gently patted my shoulder.
I took a deep breath, trying to calm the anger in my heart.
Instead of wasting time arguing here, prove yourself with actions!
"General Zhao," I said in a deep voice, "take me to the front lines!"
My voice wasn't loud, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.
The whispers around me stopped abruptly, and everyone froze, staring at me with disbelief.
"Immortal Lord, this...this is too dangerous!" General Zhao exclaimed in shock, quickly trying to dissuade him, "The fighting at the front is fierce, you..."
I shook my head firmly, staring straight ahead, and said, word by word, "I'm going to the most dangerous place!"
“Xiao Yao…” Wen Chen looked at me with concern. He knew my personality; once I made up my mind, no one could stop me.
I resolutely turned around and walked towards the front line.
Behind me, the gazes of everyone felt like thorns piercing my back, but I did not hesitate at all.
I will prove with my actions that I am not just a good-for-nothing who only talks the talk!
I want them to know that I, Xiao Yao, am worthy of the title of Immortal Venerable!
The wind howled, making my robes flutter loudly.
I quickened my pace and ran towards the battlefield filled with smoke and blood.
"Wen Chen..." I stopped, not turning around, leaving only a resolute silhouette, "Wait for me to come back..."
I took a deep breath, suppressing the surging spiritual energy within my body, and felt the surging power in my dantian, brought by the newly inherited immortal technique, carrying a hint of unknown excitement.
Before me, several hideous monsters, brandishing rusty weapons and emitting piercing howls, charged toward me.
They reeked of decay, which was nauseating.
Is this a probing attack sent by the Thunder Demon King?
It's totally vulnerable.
A cold smile curled at the corner of my lips. I formed a hand seal, and a golden light burst forth from my body.
Wherever the light passed, the demonic energy melted away like ice and snow.
Before the monsters could even scream, they turned into wisps of black smoke and vanished without a trace.
The whole process was clean and efficient, requiring minimal effort.
I could even sense the lingering demonic energy in the air, carrying a hint of resentment after being purified.
"Immortal Venerable Xiao Yao is mighty!"
"The Immortal Venerable is so amazing!"
After a brief silence, deafening cheers erupted.
I turned around and saw the disciples of the Immortal Sect excitedly waving their weapons, their faces beaming with the joy of surviving a calamity.
Their
I was enveloped in the glow of glory, and felt the admiring gazes of the crowd. My heart was filled with pride and honor.
I, Xiao Yao, am not some good-for-nothing!
I can protect the immortal sect and this land!
A confident smile spread across my face as I looked around and saw that the disciples of the immortal sects who had previously questioned me now had their heads bowed, their faces showing a hint of guilt and awe.
"Your Excellency, we were wrong! We shouldn't have doubted you!" a disciple shouted, mustering his courage.
"Please, Immortal Venerable, lead us to defeat the demons and protect our immortal sect!"
The sound grew louder and louder, coalescing into a powerful force that resounded through the sky.
I could feel that the hearts of everyone in the Immortal Sect had come together once again.
Great, that's exactly what I wanted to see.
However, the real battle is yet to come.
Just then, a panicked disciple ran over, his face pale, and cried out, "It's terrible! The Thunder Demon King... the Thunder Demon King has personally led his troops here!"
The smile on my face froze instantly, and a feeling of unease welled up inside me.
"Is he here..." I muttered to myself. Well, let me see just how powerful this Thunder Demon King really is!
"Xiao Yao, this time, let's see where you can escape to!" A cold voice, like a venomous snake, slithered into my ears.
