"Hmm..."

Taking the communication from Ji Haoyuan's hand, Master Binghuo glanced at it.

Her delicate brows furrowed deeply.

After a moment.

She looked up at Ji Haoyuan and said, "Senior Brother Xuan Yuan and the others mean he, along with Senior Brother Fuguang and Senior Sister Baihua, are going?"

"Indeed."

Ji Haoyuan nodded.

"You are aware of our current situation here as well.

The Sect Leader is striving for a breakthrough to Divinity Transformation, so someone must stay here to protect him, and I certainly cannot leave this place.

As for the rest, there's only you, Senior Sister, and the three of them, Senior Brother Xuan Yuan included.

According to Senior Brother Xuan Yuan and the others, the task of going to the designated war zone will be undertaken by the three of them.

However, our Demonstration Sect's main gate also cannot be without a Nascent Soul True Monarch in residence.

Therefore, for the upcoming period, I'll have to trouble you, Senior Sister, to make a trip to the Demonstration Sect's main gate."

"Alright!"

Hearing Ji Haoyuan's words, Master Binghuo did not hesitate at all and nodded immediately.

As the Honored Guest Supreme Elder of the Demonstration Sect, it was somewhat inappropriate for her to oversee the main gate.

However, her situation fundamentally differed from other sect's Honored Guest Elders.

As Ji Haoyuan's current dao companion, Master Binghuo naturally earned trust from all members of the Demonstration Sect.

Therefore, from this perspective, her going to the main gate to oversee indeed posed no issues.

At this point, Ji Haoyuan flipped his hand.

In front of both of them, several formidable puppets suddenly appeared.

The lowest grade of these puppets was Fourth-tier low-grade.

Among them, two were at the peak of Fourth-tier mid-grade.

Just one step away from touching the threshold of Fourth-tier high-grade.

"Junior Brother, this is...?"

Seeing the puppets Ji Haoyuan produced, a bit of surprise showed in Master Binghuo's beautiful eyes.

Ji Haoyuan then said, "Senior Sister, you can keep this peak Fourth-tier mid-grade puppet for yourself.

As for the rest, I'll trouble you to pass them to Senior Brother Xuan Yuan and the others for me afterwards.

I have an inexplicable sense of foreboding about Senior Brother Xuan Yuan and the others going to the designated war zone.

These puppets can serve as a safeguard for them.

At a critical moment, they might prove invaluable."

"I understand."

Master Binghuo nodded.

She accepted the puppets without formality with Ji Haoyuan.

With a raise of her hand, she collected these puppets.

"Then Junior Brother, without further ado, I'll head to the main gate right away."

As they spoke, the two of them walked out of Master Binghuo's abode together.

Soon, Master Binghuo turned into an Escape Light and vanished swiftly into the distant sky beyond the courtyard.

Half a year later.

News about True Monarch Xuanyuan, True Monarch Fuguang, and True Monarch Baihua heading to the critical Yuan Tong Pass on the Human Race's defense line finally reached Ji Haoyuan.

Speaking of Yuan Tong Pass, back when he was still a Golden Core, he had gone there with True Monarch Xuanyuan and the others.

In the blink of an eye, nearly a hundred years have passed.

And he had become a Nascent Soul Patriarch admired by many cultivators.

At this moment, he looked at a communication in his hand, his brows deeply furrowed.

This invasion by the Demon Race was evidently far larger than the last time.

Perhaps due to the gains from those Ancient Ruins.

The number of Demon Kings among the Demon Race this time far exceeded the number of Nascent Souls among the Human Race.

Moreover, at the very start of this war, the Human Race already had a Nascent Soul cultivator fallen.

Though the fallen was only an early-stage Loose Cultivator Nascent Soul.

In terms of heritage or magical combat abilities, they were far inferior to Nascent Soul cultivators from major sects like them.

But such an event still dealt a significant blow to the Human Race's morale.

After all, no matter how weak a Nascent Soul may be, it is still a Nascent Soul.

Its life-preserving capabilities and strength cannot be compared to that of a Golden Core cultivator.

Even someone as strong as Ji Haoyuan back then wouldn't dare claim he could overcome a Nascent Soul as a Golden Core.

The most crucial aspect of this war is that the Feixing Palace, Wuji Hall, and Ten Thousand Demons Demon Sect—these three Divinity Transformation sects—are responsible for defending areas mostly at the rear of the Human Race.

This means that unless the war reaches the Human Race's rear, these sects' cultivators remain virtually unthreatened.

As Divinity Transformation sects, and even as wartime leaders, taking care of one's own sect's cultivators is reasonable.

However, isn't such care too blatant, too naked?

How do the frontline cultivators perceive this? How do they feel?

For cultivators fighting with their lives at stake, how much impact will this have on their morale?

"Elder..."

Just as Ji Haoyuan was pondering these matters, Miao Zixi suddenly flew over rapidly from afar.

Beside her were two others.

These two were none other than Zhang Tianyang and Master Beichen, who had earlier accompanied Ji Haoyuan here.

Seeing Miao Zixi bringing them over, Ji Haoyuan felt a hint of surprise.

He knew that Miao Zixi, by her nature, would not bring anyone to see him unless it was very important, typically consulting him first before deciding.

For Miao Zixi to break her usual approach, it was evident that Zhang Tianyang and Master Beichen must have something very important or even urgent.

"We greet the Dean!"

Zhang Tianyang and Master Beichen bowed as they came before Ji Haoyuan.

"No need for formalities."

Ji Haoyuan waved his hand, then looked at the two and asked, "Is there something special that brings you to see me?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Tianyang and Master Beichen exchanged a glance.

Then, they both nodded in unison.

"Reporting to the Dean, indeed, there's a rather urgent and important matter to report to you."

As they spoke, both raised their hands together.

The next moment, dozens of shriveled corpses appeared before Ji Haoyuan.

"Hmm..."

Seeing these corpses, Ji Haoyuan's previously calm gaze suddenly grew sharp.

He raised his hand and grasped.

The corpses immediately floated in front of him.

Soon, Ji Haoyuan confirmed that all these people fell victim to the so-called Evil Cultivator Blood Demon.

For the aura on these corpses matched exactly with those he had seen on victims of the Evil Cultivator Blood Demon.

In that moment, the killing intent in his heart surged greatly as he raised his eyes to Zhang Tianyang and Master Beichen.

"Tell me in detail, what exactly is going on?"
