75: The deteriorating situation in Feichen Realm

Yu Xuzi originally did not want to meddle in others' business.

But since he arrived in this world, aside from the overwhelming Demons he saw, he hadn't seen many human figures, let alone Cultivators.

Having finally encountered Cultivators, they were in a great battle with these strange-looking, cruel, and bloodthirsty creatures.

Seeing these successive cannibalistic tragedies before him, even with Yu Xuzi's naturally cold temperament, he still felt uncomfortable deep down, so he stepped in.

As fellow humans, this was only natural.

Of course, besides pity, the main reason he acted was to understand the situation of this new world through these Cultivators below... A moment later.

The main hall of the Yun Miao Sect's mountain gate.

Inside the empty and desolate hall, Yu Xuzi sat in the main seat, while Venerable Yun Miao stood to the side, bowing and cautiously observing Yu Xuzi.

Dressed in green robes with a cold expression, a chill seemed to permeate around him; he appeared to be someone difficult to get along with.

Even more peculiar were the two Golden Eagles, only a foot long, standing on his left and right shoulders; judging by their aura, they were actually Middle Stage rank-one Yao Beasts.

While Venerable Yun Miao was secretly observing Yu Xuzi, Yu Xuzi naturally saw through his background clearly.

Early Dao Foundation Stage cultivation, and it seemed he had just broken through not long ago, as his aura was unstable.

He didn't look very old, appearing like an ordinary young man, but while his vitality was robust, a few strands of white hair floated on his forehead, making him look somewhat strange.

There were only the two of them in the hall.

“I am Song Yun, Daoist name Yun Miao. On behalf of all the Disciples of the Yun Miao Sect and the tens of thousands of Mortals in the mountains, I thank Senior for saving our lives!”

Without a word, Venerable Yun Miao first gave a deep bow to Yu Xuzi.

Yu Xuzi reached out into the void to support him, shaking his head and saying, “Fellow Daoist, there is no need for such formality. I simply couldn't bear to see those strange creatures devouring humans alive.”

“Besides, I am also just a Dao Foundation Cultivator; I do not deserve the title of Senior.”

Venerable Yun Miao nodded. “May I ask who Senior is...”

“An Overseas Rogue Cultivator. Fellow Daoist may simply call me Tai Yin.”

“So it is Fellow Daoist Tai Yin.”

Venerable Yun Miao nodded as if he had suddenly realized something, but in reality, he thought for a long time and still had no impression of the name Tai Yin... As for an Overseas Rogue Cultivator?

Where were there Cultivators overseas?

Although he had doubts in his heart, he didn't dare to ask further and remained silent.

Don't ask what shouldn't be asked.

Since the other party provided an out, he should take it.

Yu Xuzi asked straightforwardly, “I have cultivated overseas for many years and have had almost no contact with the local Cultivation World, so I don't quite understand the current situation. What is the origin of those man-eating monsters just now?”

“Is Fellow Daoist referring to those Extraterrestrial Demons?”

“Demons?”

Yu Xuzi's pupils constricted sharply, instantly recalling the contents written in the Overview of the Mountains, Seas, and Great Thousand Realms.

Demons are a race created by a certain Rank Eight Tai Yi being. They are naturally bloodthirsty, extremely frenzied, and have a severe desire for destruction, rampaging throughout the myriad realms.

They can be called the public enemy of all intelligent beings!

“Where did these Demons come from?”

Hearing this, Venerable Yun Miao sighed directly, shaking his head with a dejected expression, and began to speak about the origin of these Demons and the current situation of the Cultivation World.

“About half a year ago, a massive blood-colored meteorite came from beyond the heavens and crashed into the depths of the Eastern Sea, and then the Demons appeared.”

“They first devoured countless Yao Beasts and living beings in the sea, then crawled onto the shore. The Cultivation World suffered defeat after defeat, not to mention the Mortal realm, which has already become a Hell on earth.”

“After that, it became like this.”

Yu Xuzi nodded with a calm expression. “I see.”

No wonder he had seen a hint of something strange in this person's eyes just now.

The overseas areas had already been occupied and devoured by Demons. He claimed to be an Overseas Rogue Cultivator, yet he didn't recognize the Demons, which was clearly a contradiction.

But he was too lazy to explain.

The sea of the Thousand Islands Realm is also a sea; why couldn't he be an Overseas Rogue Cultivator?

It was already good enough that he could save these people's lives!

If Venerable Yun Miao dared to ask more questions or probe further, Yu Xuzi wouldn't hesitate to kill.

“In this Yun Miao Sect, are you the only ones left?”

Venerable Yun Miao nodded with a bitter smile. “My Revered Master fell into the bellies of the Demons at the front lines a few months ago. In my haste, I newly ascended to the position of Sect Master. It is just a small mountain Sect, I hope Fellow Daoist doesn't mind.”

These words were actually quite humble.

The Yun Miao Sect was not some small mountain Sect in the Fei Chen Realm.

Although it couldn't be considered a hegemon, it once had two Dao Foundation Cultivators presiding over it, so it was at least a major power, a presence that had been famous and prestigious for a thousand years in the southern border of the Cultivation World.

“Where are the other Fellow Daoists of the Cultivation World now?”

Yu Xuzi asked again.

“As far as I know, many large Sects have hurriedly retreated to the northwest of the continent, intending to lean against the world barrier and reorganize their defensive lines to resist the Extraterrestrial Demons.”

This world is overall oval-shaped, consisting of a single continent tens of thousands of miles across, leaning against the world barrier to the northwest.

Other areas are surrounded by ocean on three sides, with the ratio of land to sea being roughly six to four.

And this continent is also known as the Fei Chen Continent.

The overall terrain is high in the northwest and low in the southeast. Utilizing the geographical advantage of the northwest region and leaning against the world barrier, establishing a new front line to resist the Demons is indeed a good choice.

Yu Xuzi asked curiously, “Then why didn't Fellow Daoist Yun Miao go? Staying here seems like a dead end. In any case, on my way here, almost everything I saw was ruins upon ruins; I haven't seen many people.”

“What's the use of going?”

Venerable Yun Miao shook his head bitterly. “It's nothing more than a death struggle; it's better to die a quick death.”

“Why so pessimistic?”

Yu Xuzi looked at him in surprise.

“Fellow Daoist Tai Yin might not know, but when the Demons landed, all the elite forces of the entire continent's Cultivation World were concentrated on the coastal front lines. Over fifty Dao Foundation Cultivators and tens of thousands of Qi Refining Cultivators gathered, and even the strongest Rank Three Great Array was deployed!”

“But the result... they couldn't even hold out for three days before being overrun. My Revered Master... and dozens of Yun Miao Sect Disciples also fell there.”

Venerable Yun Miao's emotions grew more and more agitated, his voice rising, with clear dissatisfaction and resentment in his tone.

“The Mortals of the entire continent are being devoured at will by the Demons. They abandoned billions of Mortals, and what's the use of running to the northwest of the continent to hide? The Mortals are all going to die out!”

“Without Mortals, where would Cultivators come from?”

“Does Fellow Daoist Tai Yin know that the Yun Miao Sect once governed ten thousand miles of territory and ten million Mortals? But now...”

“Only this little bit is left!!!”

At this point, Venerable Yun Miao's expression became increasingly painful, his voice laced with deep despair and helplessness.

His expression suddenly seemed to break.

His pressure during this time had been too great, far too great. Just as he was preparing to die, he was saved by the sudden appearance of Yu Xuzi, and the inner defense he had been forcing himself to maintain instantly collapsed.

Once upon a time, he was also a famous cultivation Genius in the continental Cultivation World, breaking through to the Dao Foundation at the mere age of thirty, the hope for the Yun Miao Sect's Legacy for the next two hundred years!

But who would have known that the Extraterrestrial Demons would suddenly descend... everything changed.

Yu Xuzi looked at him silently, feeling somewhat speechless.

He had only asked casually; he hadn't expected this person to rattle on so much and become increasingly agitated.

Yet Venerable Yun Miao was still there, head bowed, muttering to himself, his voice carrying a hint of a sob.

A dignified Genius of the Cultivation World, the new Sect Master of the Yun Miao Sect, a Dao Foundation Cultivator!

He was actually crying.

“But there are too many Demons!”

“We can't stop them... we can't stop them...”
