After Zheng Hai finished speaking, his indignant expression turned into helplessness.

As a member of the Xuandan Sect, he did have a sense of honor for the sect. However, with his strength, he wouldn’t even have the chance to join in, let alone interfere.

Meanwhile, Han Yi was deep in thought.

“From what you’re saying, it’s clear that the Blood God Sect is deliberately picking a fight.”

“But what I don’t understand is, why?”

Zheng Hai was puzzled, “What do you mean, why?”

“Why did the Blood God Sect not intentionally pick fights before, but suddenly started causing trouble more than a month ago?”

“There must be a special reason.”

Han Yi’s eyes moved continuously, thinking about the reason, but the information he has now is clearly not enough to figure out the truth.

He thought for a while, and gave up.

Such important matters should be considered by the sect itself.

Moreover, with his weak strength, what could he do even if he knew?

“Why don’t we ask Brother Guan?” Zheng Hai suddenly suggested.

Han Yi shook his head, “No need, going by your description, the friction between Xuandan Sect and Blood God Sect is indeed serious, and it’s already out in the open. I think the Inner Peak disciples, even if they know, may not know more than you, so there’s no need to go there.”

“Alright, then let’s forget it.”

After that, the two were silent for a moment before they left the Drunken Immortal Tower together.

Before parting, Zheng Hai asked, “Han Yi, do you think the friction between the Blood God Sect and the Xuandan Sect will escalate into a full-scale war? I mean a sect war.”

When asking this question, a trace of panic flashed across Zheng Hal’s face.

Han Yi’s expression was also stern.

In the Cultivation World, there is a term specifically used, sect war. It refers to full-scale wars between sects, with both sides investing all their resources and fighting each other to the death. In the end, only one sect can survive, and the other will be annihilated.

This is a sect war.

Han Yi has read related information before. The sect war is the most fierce war in the Cultivation World, second only to the war between immortals and demons.

Hearing Zheng Hal’s question, Han Yi shook his head.

He didn’t believe that after traveling to this world, he would encounter the two most fierce wars in the Cultivation World.

He could not be that unlucky.

Furthermore.

Most importantly, the battle between immortals and demons only ended a short time ago. The Daqian Immortal Country has not fully recovered yet and would not allow a sect war to occur within its territory.

Especially when both Xuandan Sect and Blood God Sect are Golden Core Level sects, their strength is second only to the top three sects in the Daqian Immortal Country.

In the Cultivation World, there are nine large states, and the Daqian Immortal Country only occupies two states, Qian Shu.

Apart from the Daqian, there is also a more powerful sect, Daqin Immortal Country, which occupies four states. Daqin has been eyeing Daqian with covetous desire. If signs of internal strife arise in Daqian, Daqin will definitely push them further down.

Based on this, Han Yi believed that even if the two sects fight again, it wouldn’t evolve into a sect war.

But he was also worried.

According to Zheng Hai’s description, although it is not a sect war, the Blood God Sect is coming aggressively this time, fully prepared to bite a piece of flesh from Xuandan Sect.

For Xuandan Sect, they either put up a desperate fight, landing one heavy punch to avoid a hundred small ones, even if they can’t win in the end, at least show their ferocity. If they let the Blood God Sect leave, another sect, like the Blood Demon Sect, might come eventually.

On the way back to Little Lingxu Peak, Han Yi suddenly thought of the situation on Earth in his previous life and couldn’t help but shake his head.

The current situation in the Cultivation World is strikingly similar to the confrontations between countries on Earth in his past life.

Of course, such worries were not his turn yet.

He shook his head and returned to his courtyard to continue his cultivation.

Now at least he understood what was going on, and although he had concerns, he wouldn’t go down the mountain himself. Moreover, according to the overall situation analysis, the Blood God Sect wouldn’t attack Xuandan Mountain Range.

For the time being, it was still considered safe.

So he continued his cultivation and kept working on his proficiency.

When the sky falls, there will always be someone taller to hold it up.

However.

Han Yi’s calculations ultimately failed.

Ten days later, the Peak Master Li Heng of the Little Lingxu Peak came to his door, bringing a compulsory mission for the sect.

“Station in Tianqing City as a team?”

Han Yi was stunned and immediately reacted, quickly asking, “Why me?”

There has to be a reason for everything.

Li Heng’s expression was emotionless, “The Inner Peak elder personally named you. There are more than a dozen people from Little Lingxu Peak, including you.”

“Do you remember the incident four years ago when the sect recruited disciples to go to the Demon Cave and you didn’t make it in the end?”

“I guess it might be related to that.”

Han Yi was dumbfounded.

He thought the matter was over, but he didn’t expect it to be brought up again, which caught him off guard.

“Brother Li, where is Tianqing City?” he quickly asked.

Li Heng replied, “Tianqing City is in Taibai County.”

“Taibai County? Could this task be related to the Blood God Sect?” Han Yi’s face changed slightly.

Li Heng looked surprised.

“Oh, since you know about it, there’s no need for me to say more.”

“In three days, gather at Fuhai Peak, follow the team, and just obey the arrangements.”

“Although this trip is dangerous, the sect also offers rich rewards. Moreover, protecting the sect is our duty as cultivators, so there’s no need for me to say more.”

As Han Yi’s face changed, he asked one final question.

“Elder Brother Li, it’s not a sect war this time, is it?”

Han Yi’s face was gloomy. If it were a sect war, he would have to consider even more.

Upon hearing this, Li Heng shook his head: “It hasn’t reached that level yet, it’s just our sect’s normal counterattack.”

“Don’t think too much about it. A full-scale sect war, I can assure you, is absolutely impossible.”

After Li Heng finished speaking, he turned around and left, leaving Han Yi standing at the door with an uncertain expression on his face.

Finally, he let out a long sigh, and followed by blurting out a word.

“Damn!!!”

Closing the courtyard door, he returned to his meditation room. He suddenly felt a little dizzy and shook his head vigorously.

Then, he took a deep breath, and slowly exhaled, clearing his mind in the process.

After that, he showed a bitter smile.

“Is it necessary? It’s been four years, and they’re still not letting me off the hook.”

After a bitter smile, he gritted his teeth: “When I advance to the Golden Core stage in the future, I’ll make sure the elder from Inner Peak who always targets me pays.”

“Anyway, there’s no avoiding the sect’s compulsory task. Unless I become a fugitive and fall to the status of a loose cultivator, and also be hunted by the Xuandan Sect.”

In the Xuandan Sect, there was the notion of compulsory tasks.

These compulsory tasks would usually be issued during emergencies, and everyone had to obey. If they disobeyed without a legitimate reason, they could face consequences ranging from the abolishment of their cultivation base and expulsion from the sect to being accused of treason and punished accordingly.

Han Yi never thought that one day he would receive such a task.

“For now, the only option is to follow the team.”

“Three days, only three days. Fortunately, I bought the Shadowless Sword earlier, otherwise, three days might not be enough for me to prepare.”

“Next, I need to buy some battle-type talismans.”

“Besides that, see if I can get a defensive robe.”

Han Yi planned his preparations for the upcoming task.

The night passed without incident.

On the second day, when he arrived at the Red Sun Fang, he was startled by the crowded marketplace.

He even doubted whether all the disciples from Inner Peak had gathered here.

Finally squeezing into the Nine Dragon Shop, he found the shopkeeper named He whom he had traded with three times before and raised his request, but the shopkeeper He looked helpless.

ii

It’s sold out, you’re too late.”

“Even the lowest grade robes in the sect have been bought up at a premium.”

“Currently, the Xuandan Sect is about to wage an all-out war with the Blood God Sect, and this news has spread. Numerous Inner Peak disciples are rushing to buy magical tools, talismans, pills, and so on.”

 

Oh right, fellow daoist, if you have pills you want to sell, 1 can buy them immediately. Moreover, I can pay a 20% premium above the market price. What do you think?”

The elder named He looked at Han Yi eagerly, hoping to get some pills from him and make a profit.

Han Yi shook his head.

He didn’t have any surplus pills on him right now, having left only enough for his own use.

A moment later.

He left Red Sun Fang and went to Little Pan Stone Peak to find Zheng Hai, informing him that he would be leaving with the team.

Never expecting Han Yi to be forcibly conscripted by the sect, Zheng Hai also had no choice but to send his blessings to his friend.

“Don’t worry, your luck has always been good; there’s no way anything will happen.”

“Years ago when you were sent down the mountain, you were able to evolve and soar. This time when you go down the mountain, you are bound to fly even higher. When you return to the sect, you will definitely be at the Qi Cultivation Stage 7 and enter the Inner Peak.”

Han Yi knew Zheng Hai’s intentions: “I accept your well-wishes.”

After bidding farewell to Zheng Hai, Han Yi returned to Little Lingxu Peak.

Two days later.

Fuhai Peak.

Han Yi arrived at the peak on time.

This time, the team was led by three Golden Core-stage cultivators, followed by twenty-six Foundation Establishment-stage cultivators and mid-to-late-stage Qi Cultivation disciples, mainly those who reached the fifth level or above of Outer and Inner Peak. There were as many as a thousand people, densely packed.

The scale was enormous and not weaker than the forces that went to the

Demon Cave.

A Golden Core stage cultivator waved his hand, and a giant ship appeared in the sky above Fuhai Peak. This was the sect’s large transport magical tool, the Flying Heaven Divine Ship.

Then, the three Golden Core cultivators flew onto the ship first, followed by the ship’s guidance to pick up the many Qi Cultivation disciples on the peak.

Han Yi only felt his body become lighter, and an invisible suction force acted on him. With a change in space, in the blink of an eye, he was on the Divine Ship.

The Divine Ship ascended into the sky, turning into a streak of light and disappearing in an instant..
