Chapter 54 Shen Zhilan, My Dear Sister

Feng Xi felt that the little black ball's guess made a lot of sense.

The Shadow Demon clan might have deliberately released false news to mislead Xue Tianjue.

Another possibility was that the Demon clan had a spy within the Human clan, who discovered that Sector D had received reinforcements and therefore changed their plan at the last minute.

So, which sector would the Shadow Demon clan choose to land on?

She guessed it would most likely be Sector A, which was defended by the Hunyuan Sect.

Because Sector A was the farthest from Sector D, and because the wind and waves were heavy, the chances of the Demon clan landing there were very slim, so the Hunyuan Sect would definitely lower their guard.

Just as Feng Xi was thinking about this, she received a communication message from Xing Wu:

"Feng Xi, the Demon clan has ambushed the Hunyuan Sect's territory!

Elder Liu asked our Elder Feng for reinforcements, but Elder Feng is hesitating because he is afraid the demons are playing a feint to draw us away. What if we send people to help the Hunyuan Sect and our own backyard catches fire?

Give me some advice!"

Feng Xi: "..."

This is your Beast Taming Sect's business, why are you asking me?

At this moment, Elder Duanmu said with a solemn expression, "Xiaoxi, Sector A has been ambushed. Let the garrison troops reinforced today go over to help!"

No matter how poor their relationship with the Hunyuan Sect usually was, they could not just sit by and do nothing at a time like this.

"Elder Duanmu, don't send everyone over. Leave a thousand people behind, just in case the demons are feinting to attack elsewhere.

Besides, you cannot go. You have to stay and hold the fort in Sector D. Fifth Senior Brother and I will take some people over."

Elder Duanmu flatly refused: "Jun Wen can go, but you are not allowed to!

The Sect Master specifically instructed that you must not leave my line of sight!"

Feng Xi said earnestly:

"Elder Duanmu, I didn't come here to slack off; I came here for trial and experience!

Besides, both the Wandao Sect and the Beast Taming Sect will send some reinforcements, so we should have the advantage in numbers.

As long as I am careful, nothing will happen.

Besides, I am still wearing the treasured armor!

Please just let me go!"

Elder Duanmu still refused. Suddenly, Feng Xi exclaimed, "Elder, look quickly, what is that on the sea surface?"

Elder Duanmu hurriedly looked over, staring with wide eyes for a long time, and even scanned the area with his spiritual sense, but found nothing unusual.

By the time he realized he had been tricked, Feng Xi was already long gone!

The main reason Feng Xi was so enthusiastic was that she wanted the little black ball to devour some demonic energy and incidentally build up her persona.

As she hurried toward Sector A, she replied to Xing Wu's message:

"I am bringing fifteen hundred garrison troops. Go if you want, or stay if you don't."

Xing Wu was dumbfounded. Where on earth did Feng Xi get fifteen hundred garrison troops?

With these fifteen hundred garrison troops, their Beast Taming Sect only needed to send a few fewer people.

When Feng Xi passed by Sector C, Qin Shifeng and Xing Wu happened to lead their men to join them.

Xing Wu sneered: "Elder Liu was talking big earlier about being solely responsible for his own defense sector, so why is he starting to ask for help everywhere now?

He is completely slapping his own face!

It's only because we are righteous at heart; otherwise, who would care about his mess?!"

Feng Xi said with some disapproval: "Senior Brother Xing Wu, I have to say something to you about this.

Whether it is the Hunyuan Sect or our three sects, we are all humans.

No matter how much internal strife we have, we must unite as one when the Demon clan attacks.

Take me for example. I have an irreconcilable blood feud with Shen Zhilan, but I don't consider any of that right now; I only look at the big picture."

Xing Wu blushed at being scolded and muttered, "I was just saying it casually. If I were really going to leave them to die, I wouldn't have come along with you."

Qin Shifeng looked at Feng Xi in surprise, not expecting her to have such a broad view of the overall situation. He had underestimated her before.

Jun Wen silently watched his youngest junior sister's performance. It was true that she looked at the big picture, and it was true that she would reinforce the Hunyuan Sect, but it certainly wouldn't be such a cheap deal.

He had a premonition that once everything was over, his junior sister would definitely have a follow-up move.

When Feng Xi and the others arrived at Sector A, the human side had already completely fallen into a disadvantage.

This was even under the premise that three hundred people had come to support from the neighboring Sector B of the Wandao Sect; otherwise, they would have long since routed in complete defeat.

When all was said and done, the Hunyuan Sect had been far too negligent in their defense and had been caught completely off guard by the Demon clan.

Feng Xi let out a loud roar:

"Everyone, set your minds at ease! I, Feng Xi, have brought reinforcements for you! Charge and kill them!"

Feng Xi shouted her slogan loudly, and she didn't hold back in action either, diving headfirst right into the thick of the chaotic melee.

Jun Wen was scared out of his wits!

If anything happened to his youngest junior sister, how could he face their master?

He followed closely behind, but he couldn't keep up with Feng Xi's slippery, eel-like little figure.

He saw her wielding a broken wooden sword, stabbing here and poking there, darting wildly all over the field.

Goodness gracious, she kept herself frantically busy, yet she didn't manage to injure a single demon.

Shen Zhilan was locked in a fierce battle with a demon. Seeing Feng Xi bustling about not far away, a flash of calculation crossed her eyes, and she deliberately lured that demon toward Feng Xi's direction.

As a result, before she could even get close, Feng Xi had already dragged her wooden sword and run off to "help" somewhere else.

Shen Zhilan gnashed her teeth in anger, but there was nothing she could do.

However, a red-haired demon had taken notice of Feng Xi.

Their objective this time was precisely the core legacy disciples. If they could capture one alive and take them back, it would be a massive achievement.

Initially, he had wanted to capture Shen Zhilan, but she had too many defensive treasures appearing one after another, and he had never succeeded.

This Feng Xi was also a core legacy disciple, and moreover, she only possessed the cultivation base of the Qi Refining stage with no real skills to speak of. He might as well capture her instead!

The red-haired demon blocked Feng Xi's path.

Feng Xi blinked her eyes: "What is your cultivation level? I am only at the early Qi Refining stage. If your cultivation is too high, you should go find someone else to fight."

The red-haired demon: "..."

Is this a battlefield?

Is it appropriate for you to negotiate this with me?

While he was momentarily stunned, Feng Xi's left hand had already begun forming hand seals behind her back.

Several spiritual vines instantly bound the red-haired demon's ankles. At the same time, the wooden sword in Feng Xi's hand shot toward his throat.

The red-haired demon was completely unprepared. Even though the wooden sword's speed was very slow, he only managed to avoid his throat, and his right shoulder was pierced.

Just as he dodged, Feng Xi's flame spell arrived!

Not just one fireball, but dozens of them.

The red-haired demon never dreamed in his wildest dreams that Feng Xi, who looked like she was only in the Qi Refining stage, could instantly cast seals at will. He was truly out of luck!

The red-haired demon was completely burned into a red candle!

He burned himself to illuminate others.

In the end, he plunged headfirst into the Endless Sea.

Seeing that she had won so easily, Feng Xi's self-confidence skyrocketed, and she threw herself into the fray with even greater enthusiasm!

This time she started playing for real!

Either she used spiritual vines to tie the demons' legs, or she used little flames to burn off their hair, until many demons became so infuriated that they abandoned their original opponents and chased exclusively after her!

Jun Wen, who was searching all over the field for Feng Xi, saw his lovely youngest junior sister running toward him with a whole train of demons trailing behind her!

Jun Wen: "..."

Before he could even react, Feng Xi made a sharp turn and led the entire pack of them straight toward Shen Zhilan!

"Shen Zhilan, my good sister, I've come to help you!"
