Chapter 984: Righteous Huang Fugui

Wang Qingshan seemed to ignore it, humbly saying, “Fairy Liu, you flatter me. If you hadn't stabilized that fellow, I wouldn't have been able to kill him. I might not have been able to defeat him alone.”

What he said was true: an individual's power is limited, but a team's strength is limitless.

Wang Qingshan had learned many useful sword formations and battle arrays. He could pass them on to his clansmen in the future, which would reduce casualties when they went out to hunt demons or face enemies.

“Junior Brother Wang, Fellow Daoist Liu, what should we do next?” Wu Yun’er asked, pointing at the low-level demonic beasts scattered everywhere.

Wang Qingshan was the leader for the Grand Unity Immortal Sect, and Liu Mei’er was the leader for the Myriad Flowers Palace.

Wang Qingshan didn't make a unilateral decision. He looked at Liu Mei’er and asked, “Fairy Liu, what do you think?”

“I, your humble sister, have been cultivating in seclusion for years and don't understand these matters. If Fellow Daoist Wang wishes to proceed, I will accompany you to the end.” Liu Mei’er smiled enchantingly, her peach blossom eyes glistening, captivating hearts.

They had already reclaimed a considerable amount of territory. If they continued further and encountered Nascent Soul stage demonic beasts, their lives might be in danger. At that point, the responsibility would not lie with Liu Mei’er.

Wang Qingshan surveyed the terrain of the area and said, “If we delve deeper, we might encounter even more formidable demonic beasts. The terrain here is suitable; let's set up camp and await master's next instructions.”

“Fellow Daoist Wang, aren't you being too cautious? Why don't we advance another five thousand *li* and kill a few more half-demons? My spirit flowers need a lot of fertilizer, please, Fellow Daoist Wang?”

Liu Mei’er's voice was syrupy sweet, and she gazed at Wang Qingshan with a face full of allure.

Wu Yun’er frowned, cursing silently to herself: “Shameless vixen.”

All along the way, Liu Mei’er had been subtly flirting with Wang Qingshan, but he remained oblivious.

If it weren't for not wanting to damage the friendship between the two sects, Wu Yun’er would have already cursed Liu Mei’er for her shamelessness. Wang Qingshan was indeed excellent, but mostly due to the reputation of the Carefree Sword Venerable. Was it really necessary for her to constantly flirt with him? Seeing Liu Mei’er's provocative demeanor, Wu Yun’er felt embarrassed for her.

Wang Qingshan gave her a sidelong glance and said coldly, “If Fairy Liu wishes to proceed, then do so. I cannot control the cultivators of your Myriad Flowers Palace; please suit yourselves.”

He walked towards the low-level cultivators in the distance. Wu Yun’er glared at Liu Mei’er, then quickly followed him, saying, “Junior Brother Wang, wait for me.”

A pensive expression appeared on Liu Mei’er's face. A girl in a red dress walked over and asked, “Senior Sister, what should we do next?”

“Tell me! Is he even a man? He isn't like that pervert Fang Mu, with unusual preferences, is he?”

“Probably not. People like Fang Mu are just isolated cases.”

Liu Mei’er nodded and said, “That's true. The more he acts this way, the more interested I become in him. When he finally succumbs to my charms, the expression on his face will surely be entertaining. I refuse to believe there's a man who isn't interested in me. It seems my approach is wrong; I need to try a different one.”

The girl in the red dress had a look of exasperation. Aside from cultivation, Liu Mei’er's greatest pleasure was making so-called geniuses succumb to her charms. It seemed Wang Qingshan was destined to be another one of her conquests.

Wang Qingshan gathered the low-level cultivators and instructed them to build a city and set up formations on a flat piece of ground.

Grand Unity Immortal Sect, Deliberation Hall.

Zhang Zhanfeng was convening a meeting with the elders to discuss countermeasures.

According to their original plan, they were to attack the demonic beasts five years later. They had never imagined the demonic beasts would strike first. Logically, there was no reason for the news to have leaked. The fact that the cultivation world of the South Sea was dealing with demonic beasts did not mean the Seven Great Immortal Sects of the Eastern Barrens also had to.

Unless the demonic beasts of the South Sea had invited those from the Eastern Barrens to invade simultaneously.

“Sect Master Senior Brother, the demonic beasts are coming in full force. I suggest we seek aid from the cultivation worlds of the Northern Frontier and the Central Plains. Additionally, we should widely issue a conscription order to recruit high-level cultivators to resist the demonic beasts.”

“The Azure Lotus Immortals from the South Sea originate from the Eastern Barrens; didn't they agree to participate in the war? We should send someone to invite them back to the Eastern Barrens to join the fight.”

Zhang Zhanfeng shook his head and said, “I'm afraid it's too late. Battles have also broken out in the South Sea, and they might be fighting on the front lines there. Let's do this: send someone to the South Sea to invite the Azure Lotus Immortals to return to the Eastern Barrens to participate in the war. Also, widely issue the conscription order. As for the cultivation worlds of the Central Plains and the Northern Frontier, I have already sent envoys to invite them. I hope they will join the fight! The demonic beasts are far more aggressive this time than the last.”

Xu Zihua's gaze shifted, and he said, “Sect Master Uncle, let's send Mingren and his cultivation partner to the South Sea! They are family, so it will be easier for them to speak.”

Wang Mingren had been personally mentored by Xu Zihua since childhood. Both for public duty and private considerations, Xu Zihua wanted to help Wang Mingren earn merit.

Chen Haibin frowned. Xu Zihua's reasoning was sound, and he couldn't find a reason to refute it.

The participation of two Nascent Soul cultivators would be of great significance.

Considering the overall situation, he would not object.

“Very well! Then send Junior Nephew Wang and Junior Nephew Ximen to the South Sea.”

A sharp, urgent screeching sound came from Zhang Zhanfeng's embrace. Zhang Zhanfeng took out a communication plate, his eyes lit up, and he instructed, “Alright, that's all for today. Go about your duties!”

“Yes, Sect Master Senior Brother.”

Chen Haibin and the others agreed in unison and left one after another.

Zhang Zhanfeng cast a spell into the communication plate and instructed, “Junior Nephew Huang, bring them to the Deliberation Hall.”

“Yes, Sect Master Uncle.”

A moment later, faint footsteps sounded. Three men and one woman walked in. Leading them was Huang Fugui, and the three people beside him were all Core Formation cultivators.

Huang Fugui had not obtained many opportunities in the Northern Frontier. Upon returning to the Eastern Barrens, he unexpectedly encountered a demonic invasion. He invited three Core Formation cultivators to the Grand Unity Immortal Sect.

“Greetings, Senior Zhang.” Huang Fugui and the other three bowed to Zhang Zhanfeng and said in unison.

Zhang Zhanfeng nodded and said cordially, “Young friend Huang, what brings you here?”

Huang Fugui stepped forward and declared righteously, “The demonic beasts have invaded, harming our human cultivators. Upon hearing this news, this junior has been unable to rest or eat. The Eastern Barrens is my homeland, and I cannot bear to see demonic beasts committing atrocities. I wish to contribute my humble strength, and I hope Senior Zhang will grant permission.”

As he spoke, his gaze shifted, and he chuckled awkwardly, saying, “Of course, this junior is not skilled in combat and is more suited for transporting supplies. If Senior Zhang were to ask this junior to fight the demonic beasts, I would not hesitate, but I fear it might delay important matters.”

He was already at the eighth level of Core Formation. Unless it was for a spiritual item to form a Nascent Soul, he was unwilling to fight the demonic beasts. Transporting supplies was fine, as it fully utilized his strengths. If the demonic beasts were routed, he could then eliminate a large number of low-level demonic beasts.

Zhang Zhanfeng nodded with satisfaction and smiled, “Young friend Huang, this old man grants your request. Do the three of you also wish to escort supplies?”

The three exchanged glances and said in unison, “This junior is willing to follow Senior Zhang's arrangements.”

The demonic invasion was a prime opportunity to earn merit. They were all rogue cultivators and hoped to establish their names through this opportunity. They certainly didn't want to transport supplies like Huang Fugui.

“Good, you three can stay and rest at the Grand Unity Immortal Sect for now. Young friend Huang, there's a batch of goods that needs to be transported to the front line. You and Junior Nephew Huang, and Junior Nephew Li, make the trip. Oh, Junior Nephew Huang is your grandnephew.” Zhang Zhanfeng instructed.

Huang Fugui's eyes lit up, and he patted his chest, saying, “Senior Zhang, rest assured, this junior will deliver the supplies on time. However, could you grant this junior one or two defensive magical treasures for self-protection? As you know, demonic beasts are ferocious. If I were to encounter them, my life wouldn't matter, but it would be terrible if the supplies fell into their hands.”

The three rogue cultivators exchanged disdainful glances. Huang Fugui truly had thick skin, daring to ask for benefits before even starting the work.

Zhang Zhanfeng nodded and said, “I can give you one defensive magical treasure, and the three of you will also receive one magical treasure each. However, let this old man remind you: if you serve our Grand Unity Immortal Sect well, we will not treat you unfairly. But if you betray us, we will show no mercy.”

“Yes, Senior Zhang.”
