"First, Junior Brother Zhichu from Taiphong Peak must go, mainly responsible for support. Twenty disciples will suffice, also primarily for support.

Junior Brother Ping Chu from Taizhen Peak must also go; he can set up an Array to restrain the enemy. About twenty disciples will do.

Next, you, Junior Brother Tian Chu, from Taifu Peak will also go, after all, it was your disciples who discovered it. As for disciples, let Nephew Tianfan go alone. We, from the Taichu Peak line, will dispatch twenty people to assist you.

Then, Junior Brother Chun Chu from Taitu Peak will also go, mainly responsible for protecting others.

Lastly, Junior Brother Zhen Chu from Taishui Peak will also go, bringing about twenty disciples."

After assigning the people, Tian Chu Zhenren asked the few present, "How is it? Does anyone have any objections?"

"No, it's okay," everyone replied one after another.

"Hmm, if there are no objections, then be ready, we depart tomorrow!"

Everyone went back to make preparations, including Tian Chu Zhenren and Ye Tianfan, all heading to Taifu Peak to prepare.

Ye Tianfan returned to Taifu Peak, dealt with the senior brothers, and lay on the bed. In fact, he didn't have much to pack, maybe just a couple of clothes, and that was it.

Lying on the bed, Ye Tianfan thought about the matters he would face ahead. This time, it was a legitimate battle between the righteous and demons, and a fight between the top of the righteous path and the top of the demon path.

Thinking about it, Ye Tianfan fell asleep.

The next day.

After breakfast, Ye Tianfan, together with Tian Chu Zhenren, flew to Taichu Peak, bypassing the grand plaza to reach the Taichu Hall.

Immortal aura enveloped the place, and Taichu Hall was still like the celestial paradise people dreamed of.

When Ye Tianfan and Tian Chu Zhenren arrived, many people were already standing at the entrance of Taichu Hall. Including Tian Chu Zhenren, there were already four top seats, only missing Zhen Chu Zhenren from Taishui Peak.

Moreover, Ye Tianfan also saw Ma Feiyun and Senior Brother Yun Tian. It seemed the two would be among the twenty from Taichu Peak.

While Ye Tianfan was speaking with Senior Brother Yun Tian, Zhen Chu Zhenren arrived with twenty disciples, accompanied by a whistling sound. After a few top seats exchanged greetings, Tian Chu Zhenren walked out from Taichu Hall.

Tian Chu Zhenren looked at everyone below and loudly announced, "The reason for inviting you here today must have been explained by your masters. Yes, this time, you are assigned the task to slay demons and eliminate devils. It's likely you will face battles with the likes of the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji. However, have no fear, I have already notified our ally sects, Shan Sect, Celestial Fragrance Sect, and several other sects; they will all come to support you, so don't be afraid."

After saying this, Tian Chu Zhenren saw that none of those present displayed any fear, nodded in satisfaction, and continued, "Your goal next is the Po Sea Bay, around the Po Sea of the Ten Forbidden Zones in the extreme south."

Upon hearing this, everyone was astir. Po Sea Bay around Po Sea in the Ten Forbidden Zones is indeed not in the forbidden area, but it's on the edge. Slight carelessness could lead into the forbidden area, which means we must be cautious, not going deep.

Tian Chu Zhenren then briefly mentioned the precautions necessary at Po Sea Bay. Essentially, it's not to wander off, stay with the main group, and if the Demon Sect people retreat into the forbidden zone, don't pursue. The mission target, the Dark Black Tiger, if not corrupted by Demonic Qi, try not to kill it and see if it can be brought back to serve as a Sect Guardian Beast. If corrupted, then kill it and properly handle the corpse, leaving no trace for the Demon Sect people's use."

After hearing this, the crowd responded in unison, "Yes."

Upon finishing, Tian Chu Zhenren waved his hand forward and shouted, "Depart!"

Instantly, everyone below summoned their Magical Treasures, led by a few top seats, and soared into the sky.

The majestic Taichu Peak immediately emitted countless colorful lights like dragons flying.

Everyone flew together in the sky for an entire day, and with the sun nearing the horizon, the top seats discussed in the air whether to take a rest. After checking the disciples' conditions and seeing no significant fatigue, they decided to fly straight through the night, resting the next day. Given Taichu Sect's location to fly to Po Sea in the extreme south among the Ten Forbidden Zones, it would take a week even at full speed, yet they couldn't fly at full speed now as they needed to maintain their state.

This way, the group flew for two days, rested a night, flew two days, rested a night, and this journey took a whole thirteen days, taking five extra days compared to flying at full speed.

However, on this day, the people from Taichu Sect finally reached the vicinity of Po Sea Bay, and upon seeing the surroundings, they were all shocked.

The place was in chaos, with carcasses and bones of various Demon Beasts everywhere, and even some weak Demon Beasts scavenging these corpses for food.

Given how poor the environment was here, one couldn't imagine how dire the actual forbidden area inside might be.

After landing, everyone looked to the top seats since they were leading this operation.

After some discussion, the top seats decided to take advantage of the late hour and launch a surprise attack on the Demon Sect people since everyone had rested during the journey and was in good spirits with no fatigue.

However, just as the group was about to move, they noticed lights in the clearing ahead.

Could it be a place where the Demon Sect people were staying? The top seats exchanged glances and sent a few disciples to investigate, not to engage but to observe from afar and report back.

While those senior brothers went to gather intel, Ye Tianfan focused on recovering his state. Although he hadn't expended much energy, any additional recovery meant higher chances of survival.

Soon, the disciples returned, and they had brought back a bald man.

"Yu Shan from Shan Sect, greetings, masters," the bald man was Yu Shan, someone Ye Tianfan had previously collaborated with.

"So, it's Nephew Yu Shan. Didn't expect you to arrive early; we're quite late." Ping Chu Zhenren from Taizhen Peak said.

"No, no, we only arrived a day earlier," Yu Shan replied with a smile.

However, Tian Chu Zhenren noticed the bloodstains on Yu Shan's robe and smelled a faint scent of blood, asking, "Nephew Yu Shan, how did you get injured?"

"Reporting to Master Zhichu, after joining with several masters from the Celestial Fragrance Sect in the air yesterday, we were accidentally discovered by the Demon Sect people, leading to a battle where these injuries occurred," Yu Shan answered.
