Chapter 1590: Qingshan Leaves the Pass

Inside a secret chamber, Wang Qingjing sat cross-legged on a stone bed, her body enveloped in a faint blue aura, eyes slightly closed. Wang Ruyan stood beside her, her eyes filled with concern.

After a while, the faint blue aura around Wang Qingjing dissipated. She opened her eyes, her complexion rosy.

“The Seven Star Pill's effects are truly excellent. Take a few more, and I'll fully recover in just a few years.”

Wang Qingjing beamed with joy; the effects of a fourth-tier spiritual pill were indeed remarkable.

“That's good to hear,” Wang Ruyan said gently. “Qingjun has also taken the Seven Star Pill. With the Eastern Wilderness in chaos, the Southern Sea might also become unstable. In these turbulent times, it's best for you both to recover as soon as possible.” The Tri-Origin Heart Protection Pill was far too precious; there was only one, and it wasn't suitable to be given to any single person. Moreover, with current events being so turbulent, saving the Tri-Origin Heart Protection Pill meant it could play a crucial role at a critical moment.

“Mother,” Wang Qingjing asked curiously, standing up. “Have Father and Seventh Brother not come out of seclusion yet? Has Tenth Sister not emerged either?”

“They are all in seclusion,” Wang Ruyan replied. “Your father will absolutely not emerge until he advances to the late Nascent Soul stage. Qingshan has been in seclusion for over forty years, and Qingling for over thirty years. I estimate they will emerge sooner rather than later.”

Wang Ruyan said with some uncertainty. Suddenly sensing something, she took out a pale blue spell disk and activated it with a magic art. Wang Mengfen's urgent voice suddenly rang out: “Ancestor, someone from the Taiyi Immortal Sect has arrived! The leader is Meng Tianzheng.”

Meng Tianzheng was an old friend of the Wang family. Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan had met him even before they formed their Golden Cores.

Meng Tianzheng visiting in person likely meant he was seeking assistance. If so, how fierce must the war be!

“Understood,” Wang Ruyan instructed. “Personally invite Fellow Daoist Meng in; do not be negligent. I'll be there shortly.” As the saying goes, 'one cannot refuse a request after having received a favor.' Having just received a fourth-tier spiritual pill from the Taiyi Immortal Sect, it would indeed be difficult for the Wang family to refuse if they sought help.

Wang Ruyan gave a few more instructions before leaving the secret chamber.

Not long after, Wang Ruyan appeared in the main hall. A streak of red light flew in, revealing Meng Tianzheng.

Meng Tianzheng's expression was grave. The Eastern Wilderness demon race's invasion this time was unusually fierce, unlike previous ones, and human casualties were heavy. The Wang family had grown powerful, their strength not to be underestimated, and the Taiyi Immortal Sect wished to ask them for assistance.

After a few brief pleasantries, Meng Tianzheng got straight to the point: “Madam Wang, you must have heard! The Eastern Wilderness demon race has revolted, and over a dozen countries have fallen to them. We have recalled forces from various regions to reinforce our position, but it's merely a drop in the bucket. We hope your esteemed family can lend a hand.”

The Taiyi Immortal Sect's branches scattered across various regions had all recalled their personnel to reinforce the Eastern Wilderness, for if their homeland were lost, it would be disastrous.

“The demon race's offensive is that fierce?” Wang Ruyan asked in surprise. “Over a dozen countries have been taken?”

Wang Ruyan found herself in a predicament. With the war so intense, even Nascent Soul cultivators could fall, and she needed to stay and guard Qinglian Island. Wang Qiuming, Wang Mengbin, and others had formed their Nascent Souls less than a century ago, and though Ye Haitang had formed hers a century ago, as a hidden force of the Wang family, she couldn't appear openly. Who to send was indeed the problem.

Meng Tianzheng frowned slightly. The Wang family was now powerful and well-equipped; if they refused to send troops for aid, they would be considered ungrateful.

“The Eastern Wilderness demon race is causing trouble?” A deep, resonant male voice suddenly rang out. “It seems we didn't beat them down enough last time.”

Just as the words fell, a tall, imposing figure walked in. The newcomer was dressed in a green robe, with handsome features, and carried a blue flying sword on his back. It was Wang Qingshan.

After decades of seclusion, Wang Qingshan had successfully advanced to the middle Nascent Soul stage. He had comprehended the Taiyi Sword Wall and mastered a sword formation. He was just lamenting the lack of opportunity to test it, and this occasion presented a perfect chance to try out the power of his sword formation.

“Qingshan, you're out of seclusion! That's wonderful!” Wang Ruyan exclaimed, overjoyed. If Wang Qingshan led the team, there should be no problem.

Meng Tianzheng, seeing Wang Qingshan, was both surprised and delighted. To be honest, although the Wang family had many Nascent Soul cultivators, the most famous were the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple, followed by the Azure Lotus Sword Venerable and the Hundred Spirits Immortal, while others were not well-known. If Wang Qingshan was willing to lead the support team, it would be ideal.

“Ninth Aunt, I'll take a trip with some people,” Wang Qingshan said gravely. “Those not of our kind are sure to be of a different mind. With the Eastern Wilderness demon race causing trouble, as a member of the human race, I should do my part. I'll take Mengbin and Qiuming to the Eastern Wilderness for support!” This was an excellent opportunity to train their forces; casualties were inevitable, but those who survive will be the elite.

Just as great waves scour the sand, the Eastern Wilderness demon race's rebellion this time might well be an opportunity for low-level cultivators. Turbulent times give rise to heroes: some will seize the chaos to advance to higher realms, some will avoid the fight, while others will perish.

Wang Ruyan nodded and instructed: “Alright, be careful on your journey. Take more people with you! It'll be good for them to gain experience. Oh, and bring several sets of complete puppets with you.”

“Understood, Ninth Aunt,” Wang Qingshan replied.

Wang Qingshan agreed. He then said to Meng Tianzheng: “Fellow Daoist Meng, please wait a moment. It will take some time for me to mobilize our clansmen.”

“No problem,” Meng Tianzheng replied. “It's best to head to the Eastern Wilderness as soon as possible. The demon race has deployed a significant number of forces this time. Oh, and Huang Fugui has already rushed to the Eastern Wilderness to provide support. The Six Great Immortal Sects have jointly issued a notice, calling upon experts from all regions to deal with this crisis. If great deeds are accomplished, Nascent Soul spiritual items and spiritual treasures will be rewarded without hesitation.”

Meng Tianzheng said gravely. The Six Great Immortal Sects were serious now. It was important to know that in previous demon invasions, they had never sought external aid, repelling the attacks on their own. The fact that they were now seeking external aid and offering generous rewards indicated the significant scale of the demon race's current offensive.

“Huang Fugui! That guy isn't transporting supplies again, is he?!” Wang Qingshan chuckled knowingly. Huang Fugui was afraid of death, so it was impossible for him to directly confront the demon race, but running errands was no problem for him.

Meng Tianzheng chuckled and said: “His escape speed is quite fast, making him suitable for escorting supplies.”

After a brief chat, Wang Qingshan went to assemble his forces. Wang Yingjie volunteered to join the battle, and Wang Qingshan allowed him to accompany the group.

Over an hour later, Wang Qingshan and his party departed Qinglian Island. This time, Wang Qingshan brought over five hundred cultivators to support the Taiyi Immortal Sect, including three Nascent Soul cultivators and fifteen Core Formation cultivators, showing great respect for the Taiyi Immortal Sect.

When this great war concluded, a large area of territory would certainly open up. In the new round of reshuffling, the Wang family might be able to seize more territory.

In the Eastern Wilderness, on a vast, endless green grassland, tens of thousands of cultivators were locked in battle with the demon race. Blood flowed like rivers, and the ground was littered with fragments of magic treasures and spiritual artifacts, along with countless corpses, both human and demon.

Some cultivators, not yet fully dead, lay on the ground, letting out painful screams. Severely wounded demon beasts let out pained howls.

Roaring sounds were incessant, and energy waves surged.

Hundreds of cultivators battled the demon race high in the sky. Colorful flashes of spiritual spells lit up the sky, like fireworks.

Boom!

With a deafening crash, a charred corpse plummeted from the sky, smashed into the ground, and shattered into pieces.
