Marry the Demon Sect Girl with No Bride Price

Chapter 413 - 72: Reinforcements to Yunling Town

When Qin Gengyun arrived at the foot of the mountain at the gate of the Zhenyang Sect with the disciples of Divinity Transformation Peak, he found that the area under the gate was already crowded with people.

Disciples from each peak were gathered here.

Qin Gengyun glanced towards the direction of the Xiyue Peak disciples, where Liu Su stood safe and sound among them.

Seeing Qin Gengyun looking over, Liu Su smiled gleefully and waved at him.

Qin Gengyun nodded slightly and noticed that Mo Xiaolan was standing beside Liu Su.

He was slightly surprised. Lan Yin, whom Mo Xiaolan had transformed into, was just kidnapped and slightly injured, and logically should be recuperating in the sect. Yet, she still descended the mountain.

It seems the Zhenyang Sect takes this beast tide very seriously, and each disciple is required to contribute.

Mo Xiaolan looked at Qin Gengyun; their eyes met, and they exchanged a gentle smile.

Scanning over the other locations where disciples from various peaks stood, Qin Gengyun spotted many familiar faces.

Zhang Ling, Zhao Zhen, Zhou Ling’er, and Xu Caihe were all present, with Zhou Ling’er and Xu Caihe showing evident signs of anxiety.

Lastly, even the delicate and petite figure was among the disciples of Danxia Peak.

As if sensing Qin Gengyun’s gaze, Ruo Mei looked up, her charming little face blushing red, and shyly lowered her head.

"Junior Brother He, over here!"

Cheng Yue called out to him from the front, and Qin Gengyun hurried to catch up. Soon, all the disciples of the Six Great Peaks had lined up.

Six figures clad in Purple Sun Brocade Robes flew in on swords, the six Peak Masters indeed.

Tantai Mingyue stood in the center, her gentle voice turning stern as she addressed the disciples:

"All disciples, the three cities, twelve towns, and many villages under the jurisdiction of the Zhenyang Sect have been attacked by demonic beasts, and the beast tide has taken form."

"The Zhenyang Sect is the leader of the Righteous Path and should guard the peace of the realm. Facing the beast tide is the responsibility of every Zhenyang Sect disciple!"

"Now, all of you, listen to your masters’ commands and set off immediately!"

"Guard the peace of the realm!" The disciples responded with a resounding affirmation, the atmosphere boiling with fervor.

Immediately, each peak, according to the orders of their Peak Master, had Commanding Disciples arrange for sect members to head to their rescue locations.

On the side of Danxia Peak, Senior Sister Su Xin was reciting the names of the disciples heading to aid Zhenlian City.

Zhenlian City is the second largest city under the Zhenyang Sect’s jurisdiction, resource-rich and densely populated, of great importance.

The most disciples were dispatched to Zhenlian City, and Danxia Peak sent only Inner Sect Disciples.

Once Su Xin had finished arranging the deployments, Xu Caihe loudly exclaimed:

"Senior Sister, I want to aid Zhenlian City too!"

Zhou Ling’er beside her echoed: "And I!"

Xu Caihe is the only daughter of the City Lord of Zhenlian City, Xu Jiangxing, and Zhou Ling’er is the daughter of the largest family in the city, the Zhou Family. Both were very anxious at this moment and wanted to return home to help their fathers and family defend the city.

Su Xin looked at them gently and said, "Caihe, Ling’er, rest assured, Peak Master Tantai and I will both head to Zhenlian City, and nothing will go wrong. The sect has other arrangements for you."

"But..."

Xu Caihe bit her lip, wanting to speak further, but Su Xin had already moved on to reading the names of those supporting other locations.

"Wuxi Town, Feng Tianyun, Zhang Tianxin, Ning Jian..."

"Yunling Town, Xu Caihe, Zhou Ling’er, Ruo Mei."

Elsewhere, Divinity Transformation Peak and Xiyue Peak had coincidentally announced the names of those aiding Yunling Town:

"Qin Gengyun, Shi Ying."

"He Su, Lan Yin..."

Qin Gengyun looked towards Liu Su and Mo Xiaolan nearby, and the three exchanged nods, their eyes carrying a hint of urgency.

Especially Qin Gengyun and Mo Xiaolan, whose homes were in Yunling Town, where they had many friends and acquaintances.

Hearing that Yunling Town was also attacked by the beast tide, they couldn’t help but feel a tinge of worry.

At that moment, a tender and lovely figure dashed down from the mountain, causing Qin Gengyun to pause:

"Fang Xue?"

Fang Xue approached Wei Wan and bowed respectfully: "Senior Sister Wei, my parents are in Yunling Town, please allow me to join you in going there!"

Wei Wan looked up at Ye Xiyue, but Zheng Shengmo sneered coldly:

"Audacious rebellious disciple, you conspired with Si Minglan to assassinate the Eldest Prince of the West Imperial Dynasty. Though Si Minglan has been executed, you still cannot escape responsibility; now, you ought to be facing the wall in the Sword Tomb Peak prison, yet you dare come here and cause trouble!"

Tantai Mingyue interjected: "Whether Si Minglan is guilty has yet to be decided, and Fang Xue is not involved in this matter. Junior Martial Uncle Zheng is being too harsh, isn’t he?"

Zheng Shengmo retorted: "Junior Sister Tantai, although you’re acting as Deputy Sect Leader for the time being, you are too driven by emotions. Earlier you almost triggered a conflict between the Zhenyang Sect and the West Imperial Dynasty, and now you soften your heart to forgive a guilty disciple. How can that command respect?"

Tantai Mingyue immediately turned to Zheng Shengmo, and Ye Xiyue spoke:

"Fang Xue is a disciple of my Xiyue Peak. Since guilt cannot be determined yet, she should be managed by me."

Then she looked at Fang Xue: "You go to Yunling Town with Wei Wan."

Fang Xue bowed: "Thank you, Peak Master!"

Jian Yue nodded with a composed expression, but inside she was chuckling, thinking, "Fifth Madam, you owe me one this time!"

Zheng Shengmo had nothing more to say, snorted coldly, and led the disciples of Forgetful Peak to depart.

Fang Xue walked over to Liu Su and Mo Xiaolan, and Liu Su sent a message to her:

"Xiaoxue, don’t worry, although Yunling Town is small, it is protected by a Fifth Tier defensive array; nothing will happen."

Fang Xue nodded, and Mo Xiaolan also sent a message to her:

"Qin Gengyun has already obtained the Ice Heart Rejuvenation Pill to eliminate Pill Poison for your father. He is saved."

Fang Xue’s eyes flickered, and she suddenly turned to look in Qin Gengyun’s direction, her eyes instantly reddened.

Qin Gengyun smiled at her, and Fang Xue raised her hand to wipe her eyes, breaking into a faint smile.

After everyone had been arranged, the disciples from each peak set off towards their various aid destinations.

The team heading to Yunling Town was led by Wei Wan, consisting of over twenty Inner Sect Disciples and thirty Outer Sect Disciples, including Qin Gengyun, Liu Su, Mo Xiaolan, Fang Xue, Ruo Mei, Zhou Ling’er, Xu Caihe, Shi Ying, totaling sixty people.

This was the smallest team dispatched for aid among the groups.

According to the information reported back from various places, Yunling Town was currently only besieged by two Fifth Grade demonic beasts.

The Fifth Grade demonic beasts have combat power roughly equivalent to the First-Layer Golden Core, and at most can control a thousand low-level demonic beasts. Compared to places like Zhenlian City, the pressure on Yunling Town was the least.

"Two Fifth Grade demonic beasts, just two First-Layer Golden Core beings, yet Senior Sister Weiwan is already a Late-period Golden Core; isn’t this making a mountain out of a molehill with so many of us?"

Along the way, some newly admitted disciples were quite puzzled. Mo Xiaolan said in a deep voice:

"The combat power of demonic beasts is not equivalent to that of cultivators. Although Fifth Grade demonic beasts only have the cultivation level of the early Golden Core, their bodies are tough, their combat power is amazing, and even a Late-period Golden Core cultivator might not be able to defeat them one-on-one."

"That’s not even the scariest part; the most dangerous aspect of high-grade demonic beasts is their ability to control a vast number of low-level demonic beasts."

"Those low-level demonic beasts are usually very docile, but if manipulated by a high-grade demonic beast, their ferocity hidden inside them will awaken, significantly increasing their combat power."

"Sometimes a First Grade little demonic beast, when exploding, can even kill a Foundation Establishment Cultivator."

The few disciples listening were shocked: "So the beast tide is this terrifying! No wonder the Peak Masters are treating it as a grave threat!"

Someone curiously asked Mo Xiaolan: "Senior Brother Lan, why do you know so much about the beast tide at such a young age?"

Mo Xiaolan was silent for a moment, his voice becoming solemn: "Because I’ve seen it."
