“Oh.” Xiao Gu responded and jumped back onto Ye Qingcheng’s shoulder.

Upon Xiao Gu’s return, Ye Qingcheng directed a glare of shame and anger towards Qin Lu while admonishing him, “Don’t spout nonsense, Qin Lu.”

“Qingcheng, am I talking nonsense? Which sentence of mine is nonsense? Point it out for me.”

“That’s right, that’s… Aiya, annoying, I’m ignoring you.” Ye Qingcheng’s cheeks were red.

In a rush, she brought Xiao Gu to a different location to avoid being near Qin Lu. She feared that if she spoke to him any longer, he might trick her into saying something she shouldn’t.

Qin Lu couldn’t resist chuckling at the sight of Ye Qingcheng’s behavior.

Luckily, the small group of disciples from the Holy Maiden Sect were too busy tending to their wounds and didn’t overhear their conversation. Otherwise, they would have been alarmed by the sudden shift in demeanor from their usually distant senior sister.

After an hour, the disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect had all recovered. Ye Qingcheng, Qin Lu, and the rest went deep into the ancient battlefield.

Time flew by and a month passed.

During this month, four disciples from the Holy Maiden Sect were fortunate enough to receive good opportunities. As a result, their cultivation has improved significantly.

Out of the four who were given the opportunities, two reached the early-stage Golden Core realm while the other two reached the mid-stage Golden Core realm.

Naturally, besides acquiring opportunities, they were also informed about some sect disciples encountering misfortune. The ancient battlefield is a place where opportunities and risks exist side by side, a common occurrence.

But this time, there were a lot of disciples of the righteous path who had died. The disciples of the Weapon Refining Sect, Sky Sword Sect, and Thousand Puppet Sect who were ranked at the top had all died, which surprised them.

During this month, they also came across a group of demonic experts. There were 20 of them and their collective strength was similar to the group that had previously confronted Ye Qingcheng and the rest.This made Qin Lu feel that something was wrong.

The righteous path people were scattered when they entered the ancient battlefield, but why were these demons gathered together? Moreover, their numbers and strength were equally distributed.

In other words, they should have been divided into groups before entering. Otherwise, it would be impossible for many righteous disciples to be attacked from all over the place. The righteous path disciples were scattered in twos and threes, and some were even alone.

Once they encountered the Demonic Sect, then only death awaited them. Thinking about it, those Righteous Path disciples who had fallen should have encountered the Demonic Sect cultivators.

The sect had spent a lot of effort to nurture geniuses. Now that they had lost their lives here, it was indeed heartbreaking. However, they were glad that the Holy Maiden Sect had not released any news of their disciples’ deaths. This was good news.

As Ye Qingcheng and the rest were progressing further of the Ancient Battlefield, they were approached by a Taoist Figure who approached them unsteadily in flying. The person’s condition was extremely bad, giving people the feeling that he would fall from the sky at any moment.

Although the distance was a little far, Ye Qingcheng still recognized that the other party was a disciple of the Pill Sect. She hesitated for a moment before leading the rest of the group to greet them.

Noticing Ye Qingcheng and the others, the woman hurriedly flew towards Ye Qingcheng.

When the woman approached Ye Qingcheng and the others, Qin Lu was the first to cry out.

“Hey, it’s actually you?”

This woman was none other than the woman who had fallen into the mud that Qin Lu saved when he had had just entered the Ancient Battlefield.

Seeing the Qin Lu, the woman was also very surprised.

“It’s you. You’re still alive?”

“Heh, thanks to you, I almost died!”“Uh…”

“Qin Lu, you know each other?” Ye Qingcheng was stunned.

In the past, she did not pay much attention to other women. However, when she heard that Qin Lu knew this woman from the Pill Sect, she began to size up the woman in front of her.

She was pretty good-looking and had a good figure. It was just that her cultivation was a little low.

“I’m not familiar with her.” After saying that, Qin Lu turned his head and continued to play with Xiao Gu. He could not be bothered with this woman.

“Fellow Daoist from the Pill Sect, why are you like this?”

“Fellow Daoist from the Holy Maiden Sect, our people from the Pill Sect were ambushed by the Demonic Sect and suffered heavy casualties. I escaped to ask for help.”

“Oh, Demonic Sect powerhouses. How many demonic cultivator experts did you encounter this time?”

“This time, we encountered twenty demonic cultivator experts. Two of them were in the Late-stage Golden Core Realm, three were in the Middle-stage Golden Core Realm, six were in the Late-stage Golden Core Realm, and nine were in the Core Formation Realm. ”

“Although there were twelve of us, we only had one Late-stage Golden Core Realm, two Middle-stage Golden Core Realm, and one Early-stage Golden Core Realm cultivator. The rest were in the Core Formation Realm. We were not their opponents.”

“Senior Sister Qingcheng, when we entered the Ancient Battlefield, we also encountered two teams of the Demonic Sect with the same lineup.”

“How could they gather so many powerhouses and each team has the same level of lineup?”

“They should have come prepared. Our righteous cultivators are too scattered. If we encounter them, we will definitely die.”

“We have to find a way to quickly gather the people of the major sects. Don’t be scattered anymore. Otherwise, we will be killed one by one.”

“Although we are from different sects, as righteous cultivators, we cannot have internal strife.”

“Fellow Daoist from the Pill Sect, where are the people from your sect who are trapped? We will go and rescue them now.”

“Thank you. Fellow Daoist from the Holy Maiden Sect, please follow me.”

Thus, the group rushed toward the trapped disciples of the Pill Sect.
