My carefree life in space

Chapter 278 Gathering in Fulian City

Just as the Qingyun Sect members were fully prepared and ready to embark on their journey to fight against the demons, the same scene was playing out in various sects across the continent.

In the past, righteous cultivators were always on the defensive against the invasion of the demon race, carefully protecting their sects and the people in their region. Now, they have chosen to take the initiative and launch a counterattack.

The primary reason for this is, of course, that the rampant spread of the demon race has reached an intolerable level.

With their powerful dark forces, the demons have been frantically expanding their territory, and now they control half of the continent. Countless cities have been burned down, and people have been slaughtered. Cries of agony and weeping echo across the land, all of which pierce the hearts of righteous cultivators.

Another reason is that they know that if they want to reseal the ancient demon god, they must first weaken the power of the demon race.

As followers of the ancient demon god, the demon race will undoubtedly try everything to prevent the sealing from taking place. Only by taking the initiative at this time and weakening the demon race's power as much as possible can we reduce the resistance to the final resealing of the demon god and increase the probability of success.

A great battle concerning the life and death of the continent has begun. Righteous cultivators set off from various sects, like torrents, converging on the places where the demons are entrenched.

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze were in a group with Venerable Lingyun. Their main objective was not to exterminate the demons, so they did not head towards the demon settlements. However, they did encounter many demon soldiers along the way.

On the second day of their journey, as they flew over a valley, they keenly sensed a sinister demonic aura. Venerable Lingyun slightly raised his hand, signaling the flying boat to stop, and whispered, "Be careful, there's a demonic presence."

Everyone instantly became alert, gripping their magical artifacts tightly and scanning their surroundings with eyes like hawks. Soon, a flying boat bearing the insignia of the demon race came into view. The flying boat had clearly spotted them as well. A chance encounter was inevitable; a battle was brewing.

The demon soldiers, clad in black armor, tall and with ferocious faces, exchanged glances, a fierce glint in their eyes, before brandishing their weapons and charging forward with strange cries.

"Kill!" At Venerable Lingyun's command, the Qingyun Sect members sprang into action and engaged in fierce combat with the demon soldiers.

Lin Shushu formed hand seals, creating a spiritual energy shield in front of her that blocked all the attacks from the demon soldiers. Not only that, the shield also reflected the demons' attacks back, striking many of them.

Mo Ze moved nimbly, like a black lightning bolt weaving through the enemy ranks. His spiritual power transformed into sharp blades, precisely piercing the vital points of the demon soldiers, causing them to scream in agony.

Venerable Lingyun was even more powerful. His body was filled with spiritual energy, and with a wave of his sleeve, a powerful spiritual energy storm swept out, knocking away the surrounding demon soldiers.

Under the combined attack of the group, these demon soldiers could not hold out for long and soon suffered heavy casualties, with the remaining few being subdued on the ground.

After the battle, Venerable Lingyun stepped forward and looked coldly at the subdued demon soldiers. It was unclear what methods he used, but the demon soldiers confessed what they knew.

It turned out that the news of Demon Lord Hei Sa's death had caused a huge uproar among the demons. With the ancient demon god about to break free from its seal, the demons desperately needed a strong leader to direct their actions, so they quickly elected a new Demon Lord.

The demon soldiers went to Qingyun Sect on the orders of the new Demon Lord to investigate the cause of Hei Sa's death.

"It seems that Hei Sa's death has alerted the demon race. We must speed up our pace and reach Fulian City as soon as possible to join other sects and prepare to reseal the Demon God," Venerable Lingyun said with a furrowed brow and a serious expression.

As time passed, by the time they arrived in Fulian City, good news began to arrive from various places. In the war against the demons, the righteous cultivators were gradually gaining the upper hand. Their unity, cooperation, and tenacious struggle were causing the demons' defenses to crumble.

Ultimately, under the fierce attack of the righteous cultivators, the demons were defeated and fled towards the dark abyss.

At this moment, in a spacious council hall in Fulian City, representatives from various sects gathered together. The atmosphere was solemn and dignified as everyone sat in a circle.

Venerable Lingyun stood up, glanced around at everyone present, cleared his throat, and slowly began to speak: "Everyone, we have gathered here today to discuss the important matter of resealing the ancient demon god. Before that, I would like to introduce two promising young talents to you."

With that, Venerable Lingyun gestured for Lin Shushu and Mo Ze to step forward. Lin Shushu and Mo Ze exchanged a glance, nodded slightly, and then stepped forward to the crowd, bowing respectfully.

"These two are my young friends Lin Shushu and Mo Ze. They are the ones who successfully repaired the Brahma Bowl. In the fight against the demons, they made many great contributions and even had a direct confrontation with the Demon Lord Hei Sa. Hei Sa's destruction was thanks to them."

Upon hearing this, everyone showed expressions of surprise and admiration, and began to whisper among themselves. They knew of these two people before, but they hadn't expected them to be so young and so exceptionally strong.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. How could someone who can gain Brahma's approval be simple?

Everyone nodded to Lin Shushu and Mo Ze, showering them with praise.

The sect leader of the Lingjian Sect spoke first, stroking his beard with admiration in his eyes: "Young friends Lin and Mo, you are both so young yet possess such strength and courage, which is truly admirable."

The Valley Master of Tingyin Valley smiled and said, "Yes, the Demon Clan is powerful now, and the ancient Demon God is about to break free from its seal. We need rising stars like you. With your participation, we will have more confidence in fighting against the Demon Clan and sealing the Demon God."

The head of the Nine Medicine Pavilion nodded in agreement and said gently, "You two young friends have shown great righteousness and fought bravely against the demons. You are truly role models for the younger generation. If you ever need anything from the Nine Medicine Pavilion in the future, please don't hesitate to ask."

Lin Shushu and Mo Ze felt a little embarrassed by the praise. They hadn't done anything, and Xiao Jingping had even contributed to the search for the Brahma Bowl. They couldn't possibly take all the blame.

Lin Shushu humbly replied, "You flatter us, seniors. We were merely doing what we were supposed to do. Now that the demon race has not been destroyed and the seal on the demon god is loosening, we are willing to fight alongside you and contribute our modest efforts to protect the continent."

Mo Ze added, "That's right. We will do our best in the upcoming battle, and we also hope that you seniors will give us more guidance."

Representatives from various sects nodded in agreement, expressing their approval of Lin Shushu and Mo Ze's attitude.

Venerable Lingyun nodded in satisfaction and said, "Alright, everyone, there's no need for further praise. Time is of the essence now, so let's quickly discuss the specific plan for resealing the ancient demon god. Although the demon race has been temporarily defeated, they certainly won't give up easily, so we must prepare as soon as possible."

Everyone nodded, their smiles fading and their expressions turning serious. They then engaged in a heated discussion about the specific plan to reseal the ancient demon god.
