277: Chapter 277: Qi Jingchun will return to the mortal world!

The conflict between the Wilderness World and the Great Wall of Sword Qi has lasted for ten thousand years; it cannot be eliminated overnight.

Thinking of this, Yang Simu couldn't help but look toward A Liang and Great Sword Immortal Zuo You.

A Liang waved his hand and grinned. "Yang Simu, I know what you're thinking."

"The Sword Cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi have already launched a full-scale counter-offensive against the Wilderness World. It's impossible for them to stop in the short term."

"You also know that over the past ten thousand years, countless Sword Cultivators from the Great Wall of Sword Qi have died at the hands of the Wilderness Demon Clan."

"Without ten days or half a month, it's fundamentally impossible for both sides to reach a ceasefire."

Yang Simu pondered for a moment and said, "Senior A Liang, I also understand that a short-term ceasefire is impossible."

"However, not all of the Wilderness Demon Clan participated in the great siege."

"I believe that every member of the Wilderness Demon Clan who has been on the battlefield and killed a Sword Cultivator from the Great Wall of Sword Qi must be recorded in the archives of the Summer Palace."

"I'll have to trouble you to head back, A Liang, and send word to the Sword Cultivators of the Great Wall of Sword Qi not to kill the innocent indiscriminately."

"I will also send Liu Cha over to order the Wilderness Demon Clan's army to withdraw."

"Those who resist shall be killed!"

As he spoke the final word, Yang Simu's pupils constricted, filled with killing intent.

He was not a soft-hearted monk. Even the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain and Zhou Mi of the Sea of Literature were dead, so he naturally wouldn't care too much about the lives of those Wilderness demons.

However, as the new Co-Lord of the Wilderness, Yang Simu would naturally do his best to preserve the strength of the Wilderness World.

Perhaps this barbarian land would have a different fate in his hands compared to the past ten thousand years.

A Liang took a wine gourd from his waist, tilted his head back for a gulp of strong liquor, and then flew rapidly toward the north.

The man had originally thought that Yang Simu would encounter considerable trouble here at Tuoyue Mountain.

But now it seemed he could handle it on his own.

The Bearded Ranger Liu Cha, one of the original fourteen thrones of the Wilderness, bowed slightly to Yang Simu before flying off in the direction A Liang had gone.

He knew very well that for every quarter-hour he was delayed, thousands or even tens of thousands of demon Cultivators might die.

This time, Tuoyue Mountain had originally intended to launch a general offensive against the Great Wall of Sword Qi.

Therefore, most of the demon Cultivators in the Wilderness World's army were going to the Great Wall of Sword Qi for the first time and had never participated in a siege battle before.

This included Liu Cha's eldest Disciple, Muji, the leader of the Jiazi Tent.

There were also many Hundred Sword Immortal seeds from Tuoyue Mountain.

Originally, Shou Chen was also supposed to leave Tuoyue Mountain soon to preside over the actual siege in the north.

However, no one expected that at this most critical moment, the foundation of Tuoyue Mountain in the heart of the Wilderness World would be completely undercut!

Throne-level Great Demons in the Ascension Realm, such as the Great Ancestor of Tuoyue Mountain, Zhou Mi of the Sea of Literature, the Burly Giant, Shou Chen, and Chong Guang, had all perished.

Before this, the great demons Yang Zhi and Yuan Shou were already dead, and the Mistress of Lotus Nunnery had been severely injured by Xiao Mo, causing her realm to drop.

He just didn't know how the other battlefields were faring.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but look at Great Sword Immortal Zuo You and ask, "Senior Zuo You, how is the battle on your side?"

Great Sword Immortal Zuo You said calmly, "Before I came here, the great demons Huang Luan and Yao Jia had already been slain."

"Bai Ying's skeletal body was shattered, and she has dropped to the Immortal Realm. Niu Dao also fled ahead of time."

"Xiao Ying betrayed the Great Wall of Sword Qi and is currently being hunted along with Dragon Lord by Dong Sangeng, Great Sword Immortal Chen Xi, and Great Sword Immortal Qi Tingji."

Upon hearing this, Yang Simu's expression remained relatively calm, but the demon Cultivators of Tuoyue Mountain all had slight changes in their expressions.

Although the betrayal of the Hidden Official of the Great Wall of Sword Qi was shocking, it seemed less important compared to what had happened today.

However, Yang Simu's expression grew solemn as he said deeply, "Bai Ying's true identity is Zhou Mi of the Sea of Literature's Yang Spirit external avatar."

"As long as Bai Ying is not dead, this matter is not truly over."

"I'll have to trouble Senior Zuo You to make a trip and completely slay her!"

Hearing this, everyone—from the Old Blind Man, Great Sword Immortal Zuo You, Lu Chen, and the Sage of Rites, to The Mastermind, Fei Fei, and Guan Xiang of Tuoyue Mountain—was stunned.

Before this, none of them knew that Bai Ying was actually Zhou Mi of the Sea of Literature's Yang Spirit external avatar!

The Old Blind Man sneered, "No wonder a person as protective of his life as Wenhai didn't struggle more at the end. It turns out he had a backup plan."

"It seems he intended to hide in the shadows and continue his schemes."

"But how did you find out about this, kid?"

Yang Simu scratched his head. "Master, it's a bit complicated to explain. I'll tell you later."

The Old Blind Man saw his Disciple's awkward expression and stopped pressing the matter.

Great Sword Immortal Zuo You nodded and said calmly, "No problem."

He did not question Yang Simu and simply agreed.

Just as Great Sword Immortal Zuo You was about to leave, Yang Simu suddenly thought of something and quickly sent a voice transmission:

"Senior Zuo You, can I temporarily borrow that jing character seal I gave you before?"

"The Haoran World governed by the Confucian Temple cannot tolerate Mr. Qi, but the Wilderness World under my control can!"

Hearing this, Great Sword Immortal Zuo You turned his head abruptly and stared intently at Yang Simu.

"You have a way?" the Great Sword Immortal asked with burning eyes.

To be honest, Yang Simu had never seen Great Sword Immortal Zuo You like this; he hadn't even been this excited when mentioning the slaying of a Throne-level Great Demon!

Yang Simu nodded heavily and said with absolute certainty, "Please believe me, Senior."

"My desire to see Mr. Qi again is no less than yours."

Great Sword Immortal Zuo You gave Yang Simu one last deep look, then took out the jing character seal from his Spatial artifact and gently placed it in Yang Simu's hand.

Immediately after, the Great Sword Immortal turned and left.

Yang Simu solemnly accepted the jing character seal, his expression becoming resolute.

From the moment he first arrived at the Lizhu Blessed Land, a firm thought had been in his mind.

Mr. Qi from the Village School should not have died like that!

However, Qi Jingchun had still insisted on shattering the other spring seal back then.

But at that time, a wisp of essence had merged into the jing character seal in his hand.

Yang Simu had been thinking about how to make that middle-aged scholar with slightly graying hair reappear in the world.

After recovering part of his memories as the Lord of the Heavenly Court on the wall of the Great Wall of Sword Qi, he had finally found a way.

However, at that time, Yang Simu didn't have the strength or the right environment.

But now, he had not only broken through to the Upper Five Realms but had also gained the recognition of the Great Dao of the entire Wilderness World.

Yang Simu thought for a moment; in another month, it would be spring in the Wilderness World.

At that time, he could formally ascend the throne as the Co-Lord of the Wilderness, and Qi Jingchun would return to the world of men!

At that moment, the Sage of Rites frowned and asked in a deep voice, "Yang Simu, do you know what you are doing?"

"Have you thought about the consequences of doing that?"

Hearing this, Yang Simu simply replied calmly, "Senior Sage of Rites, this is a matter of the Wilderness World, and it doesn't violate the rules established by the Confucian Temple, does it?"

Although he and Great Sword Immortal Zuo You had communicated via voice transmission, the other party was the Sage of Rites, so he wasn't surprised that he had heard it.
