NFBE Chapter 140 Whose Fate is Fortune Telling
Chapter 140 Whose Fate is Fortune Telling
Due to the corruption of demonic energy and the fact that the two races have been fighting fiercely here for dozens of days, this place has long been turned into a dead land.
Within a radius of dozens of miles, all vegetation had withered and lifeless, and everywhere one could see was a scene of crimson blood and corpses, making it impossible to find a place to settle down.
Some of them were the corpses of demon soldiers, some were from immortal sects, some were newly deceased, and some were already rotten beyond recognition. They were all lying haphazardly on the ground, and it was unclear whether they were simply left unattended or because no one had time to collect them.
And the lingering resentment, death, corpses, and bloodstains above the sky, along with the gloomy, faintly reddish sky, could not be described as a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood!
No, this is hell!
Even after this war ends, this place will never be able to return to its original state for thousands of years.
This is the cruelest aspect of this world; the battlefields of mortals pale in comparison.
On a battlefield for mortals, if you die, you die; at most, you'll be beheaded and dismembered. But on this battlefield, just one glance is enough to haunt you for the rest of your life.
Low-ranking demonic soldiers lack humanity and can be likened to emotionless puppets or beasts or "zombies" controlled only by demonic energy, capable only of slaughter.
If they hunt down a cultivator with high cultivation level, they will dismember and eat him, sometimes leaving not even bones behind.
There were also those who took advantage of the situation to cause trouble, those who valued treasures more than their lives, those with personal grudges, and those who stole chickens and dogs... Although the main purpose was still to suppress the demon, the scene was still chaotic and resembled a large-scale melee.
Therefore, everyone who rushed to the rescue was shocked by the scene.
However, battlefields like this are just ordinary wars on this continent; it's just that these younger generations haven't seen many of them before.
Compared to a real melee, this is nothing; otherwise, why would it only be called a training exercise, and why would the reinforcements not include anyone with particularly high cultivation, not even a late-stage Nascent Soul cultivator?
The two strongest individuals present were only two mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivators from Lingshui.
"Elder, should we join in?"
Someone asked timidly.
The leading elder frowned upon seeing the scene, but he did not back down. He calmly stated, "We will form groups of five. If we encounter any demon soldiers, we will kill them immediately. Furthermore, if we see any other fellow immortals... we must also be on guard."
"This rescue is for several reasons: first, it is for the greater good; second, immortals and demons cannot coexist, and all demons are evil and must be eliminated upon sight, which is the proper way to cultivate immortality; third, this is also a valuable experience that can broaden everyone's horizons and knowledge."
"Once this matter is settled, we will meet again at the place where we set off to take a headcount... Although the task of exorcising demons is important, we must also take care of ourselves. Take care, everyone!"
The leading elder spoke with great passion, and at the end of his speech, he bowed solemnly with his hands clasped.
Everyone bowed in return, saying, "We will obey the elder's command!"
They quickly assembled a team and headed to the battlefield.
Those who arrived before them and those who arrived after them were in much the same boat, simply dividing into groups or going off alone.
Disciples of sects are required to go out for training, and training is often accompanied by danger. Every year, many disciples from various sects perish during training, which is quite normal.
This place is a world where the strong prey on the weak.
If you don't improve or don't have a particularly strong backer, weakness is your original sin! And you can only be eliminated!
Liu Jun touched her empty waist, and looked with interest at the three people who had been rejected from joining her team and had already rushed down to kill the demon. She then slowly found a "slightly" quiet corner and flew down alone.
Why are they called three people walking together?
Lu Xihan led the group. Originally, she only invited her to join the team because she was attracted by her strength and the combat power of the "snake" in her hand. Now, it is reasonable to invite her to join the five-person team.
The other team was invited by Ning Shen. Liu Jun was surprised that he wasn't on the same team as Lu Xihan or Wei Qiushuang, but she declined.
The third team was led by Wei Qiushuang. Liu Jun still couldn't understand why Wei Qiushuang kept staring at her. Liu Jun didn't believe any of the reasons she gave.
Aside from these few people, she didn't know or get to know many others, so naturally no one would invite her to team up anymore, even though she didn't need to team up with anyone.
As for the fact that the thing hanging from his waist was gone, Liu Jun found an opportunity to release Mo Xianghuan not long after he left the grove where he was resting that day.
She couldn't guarantee that the box could hold a person for that long. What if the person suffocated inside when the time limit was up?
Having lived for so many years, even if her cultivation level had reached the point of retirement, she should be able to live well outside. As for whether she stays outside or returns to the demon realm, it's none of her business.
She has already obtained the Formless Technique, and she has already helped her. They are even now, which is fine. As for whether they will have a chance to meet again in the future, that depends on fate.
As soon as Liu Junfu landed, before she could even stand properly, four or five demon soldiers rushed towards her. She sighed helplessly, raised her hand, and casually summoned a celestial sword that she used to be quite comfortable with. With a single sweep, the demon soldiers instantly died and collapsed to the ground.
Then, several more waves of demon soldiers came in succession, and she easily killed them all. Those demon soldiers weren't truly mindless; seeing that she was powerful and couldn't be killed, they stopped sending themselves to their deaths.
In the midst of chaos, who cares about whose life or death?
No one cared about her situation, just as no one cared whether there was one more or one less person on the battlefield; it was already in utter chaos.
This great battle wasn't a direct confrontation between the two races; it was more like a "trial run." It was something that the struggling author wrote to advance the plot and create some interaction between the female lead and the Demon Lord.
Otherwise, if we divide them into regions like the cultivation realm and the demon realm, and considering the actions of the female protagonist and Qing Liye, there's simply no way their paths could intersect.
As for "cool" novels, the principle is that all the high-status, capable, and especially good-looking men in this world must have a relationship with the female protagonist, regardless of their character, especially in the cultivation novel genre.
As long as the main character is male or female, whether or not a harem is present, it's all the same. It's just that romantic love is written in a different way, such as admiration, appreciation, and so on.
Aside from the necessary antagonists and stereotypical villains, everyone else is on his/her side; otherwise, how could he/she be called the protagonist or the chosen one?
It's not a good thing to go against "people" (or you could say the will of Heaven) who are beyond one's own capabilities, especially since she is now being swept up by an unknown "thing." So even if Liu Jun discovers something, she has to pretend she doesn't know.
They watched helplessly, or rather, coldly, as that powerful figure, named Qing Liye, appeared here in disguise.
Watching him disguise himself as a renowned protector of the demon race, just as described in the book, kill a large number of people as soon as he appeared, and then tie up a group of hostages with a wave of his hand, and make a statement that everyone present could hear.
"If the Immortal Sect and the Demon Clan continue fighting like this, it will take a year and a half to see a clear winner. If the Immortal Sect sends 50,000 rare treasures in ten days, our clan can immediately withdraw its troops and promise not to invade again for a hundred years."
"Fifty thousand isn't much for you, is it? If you don't do this business..."
Mo Chu smiled mysteriously: "Then you can forget about seeing those people I captured just now. Consider it a ransom for them."
To everyone's utter surprise, such a "big shot" would appear at this very opening.
Those who came to guard the area were not particularly powerful to begin with, but this Mo Chu was already at the Mahayana stage, comparable to those in the immortal sects, so one can imagine how strong she was.
Mei Chu's sudden arrival turned the tide of the battle in an instant.
The world of cultivation is inherently unreasonable. Strength is never equal to strength, and it's not that a group of weak people can defeat a strong one just because they get together.
If the two were evenly matched, it would be possible for several of them to defeat one, but it seems that no one present could defeat him combined (except for Liu Jun, of course).
Therefore, the war came to an abrupt end in a rather comical manner.
The main thing is that Sister Chu didn't just randomly tie up a few people. With his move, he tied up the dozen or so elders who led the charge, as well as nearly a hundred elite disciples from the most important dozen or so immortal sects.
From Mei Chu's perspective, all these cultivators from the immortal sects are hypocrites. Naturally, they wouldn't let their disciples be in the hands of the demon race. Fifty thousand rare and precious items would be a piece of cake for them.
"Tch, what are you still standing there for? Hurry up and go back to report the news! If you're too late, you'll lose all the peace that has been maintained between the human and human realms over the years!"
"Mei Chu" sneered, and then his figure flashed, and he and all those demon soldiers disappeared without a trace. No one could see what he was planning in his eyes.
