Lu Yuanming didn't wait long before he received the response from Wanjian Sect and Miaodan Sect.
It was learned that after the competition between the five sects, the evil cultivators openly took action against the three major sects. The two sects expressed their stance and vowed to clear out the evil cultivators' lair and kill them all.
At this point, the five major sects formed an alliance and began active preparations for war.
Half a year has passed in the blink of an eye. After half a year of pre-war preparations, the plan of the five major sects to attack the base of the evil cultivator has been perfected.
This time to clean up the evil cultivators, each sect will dispatch at least one Nascent Soul cultivator, ten Golden Core cultivators and a hundred Foundation Establishment cultivators, so there are five Guang Yuanying cultivators.
This power is enough to uproot the entire evil cultivator force.
The preparations for the war over the past few days have made the atmosphere in the Xiaoyao Sect much more solemn.
On the Qianji Peak training ground, Yue Yanru glanced at the twelve foundation-building monks in front of him and sighed softly in his heart.
Half a year has passed, and none of the four disciples who went missing after being attacked by evil cultivators when they went to participate in the Five Sects Competition have not returned.
I think nine times out of ten, I have encountered misfortune.
And among these four people, her new disciple Xu Chunniang... was among them.
As soon as he thought of this, Yue Yanru's eyes flashed with sadness.
Such an outstanding disciple had great hope of inheriting her mantle, but I hate that evil cultivator...
Yue Yanru's eyes turned cold. If he goes to clear out the evil cultivators, he will definitely leave no one behind to avenge his disciples.
She withdrew her gaze and said with a solemn expression, "Disciples of Qianji Peak listen to the order and follow me to the main peak to meet with the Supreme Elder Yuanying and the sect leader."
"yes!"
The foundation building disciples responded one after another and followed Yue Yanru to the main peak.
An hour later, a huge battleship set off from Xiaoyao Sect and headed into the distance at an extremely fast speed.
In the mountains not far from Xiaoyao Sect, a short, fat female cultivator with a mediocre face suddenly raised her head and looked towards the southwest.
Then a huge warship was seen passing through the sky, splitting the clouds in the sky into two halves.
This short and fat female nun is none other than Xu Chunniang, who uses Bone Shrinking Yi Qigong.
Watching the battleship disappear into the sky, she frowned slightly, thoughtfully.
This kind of warship will only be dispatched when a major war breaks out in the sect.
Did anything happen during the few months she was away from the sect?
Or is it that the sect’s actions are related to the evil cultivators they encountered before?
Xu Chunniang suppressed her thoughts and sped up to fly towards Xiaoyao Sect. She had better rush back to the sect first.
A few hours later, the north gate of Xiaoyao Sect was in sight.
Xu Chunniang used the Bone Shrinking Yi Qigong to restore her original appearance, then stepped forward and handed over her disciple token.
After the gatekeeper disciple verified it, he respectfully returned the token with excitement in his eyes.
"That's great. Master Xu is back. I knew that Master Xu is still alive!"
He calmed down a little and spoke very quickly.
"The news came from the inner gate that you were ambushed by evil cultivators and disappeared. There has been no news from you in the past six months. Many people said that you were dead.
But I don’t believe it, Master Xu is the pride of our outer disciples, how could he be killed by evil cultivators so easily!”
Another disciple was equally excited when he saw Xu Chunniang returning safely.
"That's right, I believe that Master Xu just ran into trouble and was unable to return to the sect for the time being, so I specially accepted the task of guarding the North Gate. I didn't expect that Master Xu would actually come back!"
"If other classmates learn this news, they will definitely be very happy. I really want to tell the news now."
After learning that the two of them had accepted the commission on purpose so that they could wait for her as soon as possible, Xu Chunniang's usually calm mood became turbulent.
She was devoted to cultivating Taoism and was used to being alone. Except for the Master and a few other people, it was difficult for her to see anyone else.
But these outer disciples, who had never met before, were concerned about her safety and hoped that she could return safely as soon as possible.
She smiled slightly and explained a few words to the two of them.
"After I killed the evil cultivator who was chasing me, I took some detours to avoid trouble, so I rushed back today."
"So that's it. I heard that the evil cultivators who participated in the siege were at least in the middle stage of foundation building. Master Xu had only been in the early stage of foundation building for less than four years. He was actually able to kill cultivators in the middle stage of foundation building.
Amazing!"
"Of course, this is Master Xu. He single-handedly allowed the sect to open the Sutra Pavilion and Ozawa Realm to outside disciples, and attracted so much attention from the sect. How can Master Xu be so weak?"
Seeing that the two of them were ready to continue boasting, Xu Chunniang quickly coughed and changed the subject.
"On my way back, I saw the sect dispatching warships. Has anything big happened recently?"
"Uncle Xu, you didn't know before you came back that the five major sects decided to join forces to go to the evil cultivator's lair to clear out the evil cultivator. Even the Supreme Elder Yuan Ying was alarmed."
"This operation will be led by a total of five Nascent Soul elders, who will definitely kill all the evil cultivators. By the way, Uncle Xu's master, Elder Yue, is also on the list. It's a pity that she didn't get to see you come back."
Xu Chunniang thought thoughtfully, it seemed that the five major sects were determined to uproot the evil cultivators this time.
She had come back a step too late, otherwise she would have been able to participate in this operation.
After bidding farewell to her two disciples, Xu Chunniang headed towards the main peak with her sword.
After killing the monk holding the black flag, she obtained a jade slip recording the detailed information of the five major sects in his storage ring.
Being able to obtain such detailed information means that there are evil cultivators ambushing them within the five major sects.
This matter is serious and must be reported to the sect as soon as possible.
After arriving at the main peak, Xu Chunniang clearly felt that the atmosphere was different from usual.
The disciples looked solemn and walked in a hurry, obviously affected by the war.
She entered the main peak, explained her identity and purpose to the foundation manager on duty, and then waited quietly aside.
After lighting the incense, Yue Ling came in a hurry.
When the sect leader went to war, all matters within the sect fell on him, the deputy sect leader.
He beamed with joy, "Chun Niang, you are really back, great! The two evil cultivators who were chasing you at that time had cultivation levels in the late stage of foundation establishment... When your master and sect leader heard the news, they
You will definitely be happy.”
Xu Chunniang smiled slightly, "To be cautious, I took a long detour, so it took me more time to get back, which made Master Yue worried."
Yue Lingzheng shook his head slightly.
"I wish you had returned safely. There were four disciples who disappeared with you at that time. Now that you are back, there is still no news from them...
Alas, let’s not talk about this anymore. I heard that you have something important to report to me?”
Xu Chunniang's face turned solemn, "This is about evil cultivation. It is very important. It is best not to let too many people know about it."
Yue Lingzheng understood what he was saying, and withdrew the disciples on duty on the left and right, and set up a barrier.
