Feng Xi thought the little black ball's speculation wasn't without reason.
The Shadow Demon Clan might've deliberately released false information, misleading Blood Tiance.
There's also another possibility: the demon clan had spies within the human race and had discovered that additional manpower had been deployed to Zone Ding, so they temporarily changed their plan.
So which zone would the Shadow Demon Clan choose to land in?
She thought it would most likely be Zone Jia guarded by Hunyuan Sect.
Because Zone Jia was the farthest from Zone Ding, and because the wind and waves there were heavy, the probability of demons landing there was low. Hunyuan Sect would definitely be lax in their defenses.
Just as Feng Xi was thinking about this, she received a message from Xing Wu, "Feng Xi, the demon clan launched a surprise attack on Hunyuan Sect's territory!
Elder Lu has asked our Elder Feng for reinforcements. Elder Feng is hesitating right now, afraid that the demon clan is using a feint to the east while attacking in the west. If we send people to help Hunyuan Sect and our rear catches fire, what then?
Give us an idea!"
Feng Xi: "..."
These are your Beast-Taming Sect's affairs, and you're asking me?
At this moment, Elder Duanmu said with a grave expression, "Xiao Xi, Zone Jia has been attacked. Have the city guards who were reinforced today go over to help!"
No matter how bad relations were with Hunyuan Sect in normal times, they couldn't just stand by at a moment like this.
"Elder Duanmu, don't send everyone over. Leave one thousand behind in case the demon clan is using a diversionary tactic.
Also, you can't go. You need to stay and oversee Zone Ding. Fifth Senior Brother and I will lead people over."
Elder Duanmu outright refused, "Jun Wen can go. You are not allowed to go!
The Sect Master specifically instructed that you are not to leave my line of sight!"
Feng Xi said earnestly, "Elder Duanmu, I didn't come here to muddle through the days. I came here for trial and tempering!
Besides, Wan Jian Sect and Beast-Taming Sect will more or less send some people as reinforcements. In terms of numbers, we should have the advantage.
As long as I'm careful, nothing will happen.
Moreover, I'm wearing treasure armor!
Please let me go!"
Elder Duanmu still didn't agree, but suddenly Feng Xi said, "Elder, what's that on the sea surface?"
Elder Duanmu hurriedly looked over, stared with wide eyes for a long time, and even swept the area with his divine sense, yet found nothing unusual.
By the time he realized he'd been tricked, Feng Xi had already run far away!
The main reason Feng Xi was so proactive was that she wanted the little black ball to absorb some demonic qi, and at the same time establish her image.
As she rushed toward Zone Jia, she replied to Xing Wu, "I'm bringing fifteen hundred city guards over. Whether you come or not is up to you."
Xing Wu was completely baffled, where did Feng Xi get these city guards from?
With these fifteen hundred city guards, their Beast-Taming Sect could send fewer people over.
When Feng Xi passed through Zone Bing, Qin Shifeng and Xing Wu happened to be leading people to join in as well.
Xing Wu snorted coldly, "Elder Lu was talking so arrogantly back then, saying he would take responsibility for his own zone's defense. Why is he now running around begging for help?
This is really slapping his own face!
Only because we're chivalrous do we bother with this nonsense!"
Feng Xi said somewhat disapprovingly, "Senior Brother Xing Wu, I have to say something about that.
Whether it's Hunyuan Sect or our three sects, we are all part of the human race.
No matter how we fight internally, when the demon clan attacks, we must unite.
Take me, for example. I have an irreconcilable hatred with Shen Zhilan, but right now I'm not considering that at all. I'm only looking at the bigger picture."
Xing Wu blushed and muttered, "It was just an offhanded remark. If I was really going to stand by and watch them die, I wouldn't have come with you."
Qin Shifeng glanced at Feng Xi in surprise. He hadn't expected this Feng Xi to have such a sense of the bigger picture. He had misjudged her before.
Jun Wen silently watched his junior sister perform. It was true that she had a sense of the bigger picture, and it was also true that she would reinforce Hunyuan Sect, but there's definitely no way this would end so easily.
He had a premonition that once this was over, his junior sister would definitely have a follow-up move.
By the time Feng Xi and the others arrived at Zone Jia, the human side had already completely fallen into a disadvantage.
And this was with Wan Jian Sect from the neighboring Zone Yi having already sent three hundred people over as reinforcements. Otherwise, they would have collapsed long ago.
Ultimately, Hunyuan Sect had been far too lax in their defenses and had been caught completely off guard by the demon clan.
Feng Xi shouted loudly, "Everyone, don't worry! I, Feng Xi, have brought people to reinforce you! Kill them!"
Feng Xi's slogan was loud, and she didn't hold back in action either, she plunged headfirst into the chaotic melee.
Jun Wen was scared to death!
If anything happened to his junior sister, how would he explain it to their master?
He followed closely behind, but couldn't keep up with Feng Xi's loach-like small figure.
He saw her holding a broken wooden sword, stabbing here and poking there, darting all over the battlefield.
Good grief, she worked herself to the bone, yet didn't even injure a single demon.
Shen Zhilan was currently entangled in battle with a demon. Seeing Feng Xi bustling about not far away, a calculating glint flashed through her eyes, and she deliberately drew that demon toward Feng Xi.
But before she could get close, Feng Xi had already lifted her wooden sword and run off to another place to "help".
Shen Zhilan ground her teeth in anger, but there's nothing she could do.
However, a red-haired demon noticed Feng Xi.
This time, they had come specifically targeting the direct disciples. If they could capture one alive and take them back, it would be a great merit.
Originally, he wanted to capture Shen Zhilan, but she had too many treasures on her, one came after another, and he hadn't been able to succeed.
This Feng Xi was also a direct disciple, and she only had Qi Refining Stage cultivation with no real ability. It would be better to grab her!
The red-haired demon blocked Feng Xi.
Feng Xi blinked, "What's your cultivation level? I'm only at early Qi Refining Stage. If your cultivation is too high, how about you switch to fighting someone else?"
Red-haired demon: "..."
This is a battlefield.
Is it appropriate for you to discuss this with me?
In the moment he was stunned, Feng Xi's left hand had already begun forming seals behind her back.
Several spiritual qi vines instantly wrapped around 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 was very slow, he only managed to avoid it piercing his throat, his right shoulder was stabbed.
As soon as he dodged, Feng Xi's Fire Incantation arrived!
Not just one flame, but dozens.
Even in his wildest dreams, the red-haired demon would've never expected that Feng Xi, who looked like she was only at Qi Refining Stage, would know Instant Recast. He's doomed!
The red-haired demon was completely burned into a red candle!
He burned himself, lighting up others beside him.
In the end, he plunged headfirst into the Endless Sea.
Seeing that she had won so easily, Feng Xi's confidence skyrocketed, and she worked even harder!
This time, she's getting serious!
Either she used spiritual qi vines to bind the demons' legs, or she used little flames to burn their hair. In the end, many demons were so enraged that they abandoned their original opponents and specifically chased after her!
Jun Wen, who was searching all over the battlefield for Feng Xi, suddenly saw his adorable little junior sister running toward him with a whole string of demons behind her!
Jun Wen: "..."
Before he could react, Feng Xi turned a corner and led them all straight to Shen Zhilan!
"Shen Zhilan, my good sister, I'm here to help you!"
