The system asked me, a weak woman, to challenge a saint

Chen Subaru found Elder Qin's hiding place, which was hidden among the spiritual peaks along the river. He landed lightly behind Elder Qin and asked, "Elder Qin, is there any new development in the situation?"

Elder Qin cast his gaze towards the western sky and said, "Young Master Wenruo, can you detect something strange in the sky in the distance?"

Chen Subaru followed his instructions and used his spiritual consciousness to investigate carefully, but found no obvious abnormalities: "There seems to be nothing abnormal."

Elder Qin turned to look at Chen Subaru and said with a smile: "The sword cultivator's focus on swordsmanship is indeed well-deserved. It seems that the sword cultivator is indeed blind to the changes in the five elements of spiritual energy."

Chen Subaru nodded in agreement: "I have a good understanding of the theory of the five elements of spiritual energy, but it is limited to the knowledge of swordsmanship, and I cannot use any techniques other than swordsmanship."

What he did not tell Elder Qin was that although sword cultivators were not good at spells other than swordsmanship, sword spirits could assist sword cultivators in performing other spells. This was also the reason why many sword cultivators could defeat swordsmen without swords. The reason why I still carry the Sword Spirit. Although some sword spirits have advanced realms, they are unable to cultivate the Qi Sea due to the limitations of their sword bodies. Therefore, if a large amount of spiritual power needs to be consumed during a fight, they must rely on the supply of spiritual power from the sword cultivator. If the sword cultivator is strong, this is tantamount to Self-consuming. However, it is impossible for monks to fight with magic all the time, so on certain occasions, sword cultivators need to use the magic of sword spirits to solve problems.

If Xue'er is allowed to explore the direction pointed by Elder Qin, it may be possible to reveal the changes in the spiritual energy of the Five Elements. However, Xue'er's current cultivation level is still in the realm of pill formation, and it is difficult for her consciousness to reach that far, and that direction is where the demon soldiers are invading. Naturally, Chen Subaru would not let Xueer get involved in danger on the road.

Elder Qin looked at the sky to the west and said in a deep voice: "Those monster soldiers seemed to have no intention of hiding their aura, and simply absorbed the spiritual energy of heaven and earth along the way. Wherever they passed, the spiritual energy was chaotic and abnormal, and could even spread to the sky."

Chen Subaru asked in surprise: "Is this the natural characteristic of the demon clan?"

Elder Qin shook his head: "I think this is the intention of the demon clan."

Chen Subaru asked: "Is it intentional?"

Elder Qin asked: "Young Master Wenruo, have you ever paid attention to the military information in Jingzhou sent by Governor Huan Chong recently?"

Chen Subaru recalled: "Oh, I remember reading that they approached Yizhou and collected a lot of information about the holy demon soldiers wreaking havoc in Yizhou."

Elder Qin's tone was heavy: "Then you should know that the demon soldiers' offensive in Yizhou was frustrated, so they vented their anger on the local people. Both monks and mortals suffered brutal massacres."

Chen Subaru frowned and said in a deep voice: "These are indeed mentioned in the intelligence, and this led to the local monks in Yizhou to resist more fiercely and radically, causing the demon soldiers to suffer greater losses."

Elder Qin's eyes were filled with sadness, and he said slowly: "This is what I'm worried about. These demon soldiers deliberately make the spiritual energy turbid. When they attack the monks, they can squander the spiritual energy unscrupulously. However, once the monks try to counterattack the army of demon soldiers, Once you enter those turbid auras, your magic and magical powers will be greatly restricted. If we humans have to compete with these monsters for physical strength, it will be a massacre without any suspense."

Chen Subaru's eyes were solemn and he pondered: "Are the demon soldiers of the holy clan planning to exterminate the entire human race in Yizhou?"

Elder Qin looked into the distance coldly and replied: "I'm afraid that's their intention. The situation has entered the preparation stage before the decisive battle. The holy demon soldiers may have received some news, and now they are in urgent need of extricating themselves from the quagmire of Yizhou. They did this kind of behavior of 'killing the goose to lay eggs'. If they want to destroy the entire human race in Yizhou, then Yizhou will inevitably turn into a scorched earth under the fierce resistance. This is very difficult for the demon clan who want to seize the territory. Not a good deal.”

Chen Subaru quickly analyzed the current situation based on Elder Qin's words. Although it is not yet clear the specific cultivation level of the demon soldiers, I guess it is not too low. He felt that under such circumstances, it would be almost impossible for the people he brought to stay until Xiao Ling arrived.

Elder Qin seemed to see Chen Subaru's worries, and he said: "Young Master Wen Ruo, it all depends on people. The two sides have not yet engaged in battle, and we are not at the end of the road yet. What's more, this is the territory of the Jin Dynasty, and I believe that the Jin Dynasty The imperial court and various immortal cultivating sects will never sit back and watch these monster soldiers wreak havoc."

Chen Subaru heard what Elder Qin had not said: If the Jin Dynasty and the various cultivating sects allowed these demon soldiers to wreak havoc in Wuling County, then the demon soldiers would take the opportunity to cut off the connections between the northern and southern counties of Jingzhou and invade Jiangzhou in one fell swoop. With overwhelming momentum, they quickly invaded Yangzhou and approached Jiankang. If the entire southern battlefield is defeated by the demon soldiers, the Beifu Army and Qinglong Fort will face being attacked from both sides.

Chen Subaru gave a wry smile and said, "It seems that we were inadvertently involved in the core of the plan before the decisive battle."

At this moment, Elder Qin received a message from other elders. After some conversation, Elder Qin said to Chen Subaru: "The identities of those monks have been confirmed."

A hint of surprise flashed in Chen Subaru's eyes, and he asked eagerly: "Is it a ghost monk?"

Elder Qin gave Chen Subaru a meaningful look and replied: "They are a coalition of monks from Guangzhou, Jiaozhou, and Ningzhou. The leader of the monks is named Su Lingyin."

Chen Subaru searched his memory and found that he did know this person and had fought together in Wuchang Small World.

He whispered to himself: "So it's her. I remember that when we were in Wuchang Little World, she was already a sixth-level Nascent Soul monk. Why is she still in the Nascent Soul realm now?"

Elder Qin was amused by Chen Subaru's remarks and secretly laughed. He thought to himself: "Young Master Wenruo, do you think you are speaking human language? A monk needs to understand the laws to break through from the Nascent Soul Realm to the Divine Transformation Realm. How can it be accomplished in a short period of time?"

He walked up to Chen Subaru, patted him on the shoulder, and said, "Young Master Wen Ruo, your cultivation speed is enough to shock the entire world of immortal cultivation. But most monks don't have talents and opportunities like you."

Chen Subaru realized that his words were a bit excessive and hurriedly explained: "I didn't mean that. Su Lingyin was the inner elder of the Haiyun Palace, the fifth sect of the Jin Dynasty. She performed outstandingly in Wuchang Little World and was the survivor of the exploration team that year. The person with the highest cultivation level came down and organized the monks to resist the Holy Clan army, buying precious time for the reinforcements of the Jin Dynasty to arrive, which is considered to have made a great contribution. I think she should be focused on training by Haiyun Palace. If so, It shouldn’t be too difficult for her to understand the power of the law with the guidance of the Tribulation Realm or the Sanxian monks.”

Although Chen Subaru said this, he thought in his heart: "You probably don't know that my original body, Xiao Ling, is called heaven-defying. When she created this clone of mine, she had just broken through to the Nascent Soul realm, but now she is a Void Refining Monk . Give her a few years, and the realm of Hedao and Mahayana may not be out of reach."

Elder Qin listened to Chen Subaru's explanation and thought for a moment. Although he didn't know much about the actual situation of the major sects in the Jin Dynasty, he felt that Chen Subaru's words were reasonable, so he stopped worrying about this issue and instead suggested: "Young Master Wenruo, why don't we meet this Su Ling now?" How’s the sound?”
