Chapter 567

"But Shushan..."

Jiang Yan sighed and said melancholically:

"The Evil Sword Immortal acts perversely; he wouldn't mind using the life and death of the entire world to force Shushan to reveal itself."

"If we don't fight, Shushan, relying on the blessings of our ancestors, can indeed remain hidden in the void, but Teyvat, the Tree and the Sea, will all be destroyed by him."

"And if we fight, even if I force him away with the Samadhi True Fire, even if I can break through to the late stage of Refining Void and Combining Dao at that time, just like him..."

"He can also use the concept of evil thoughts to penetrate Shushan and take away the three consciousnesses."

"At that time, when he recovers to his peak, no one in the heavens and worlds below the Immortal Realm will be able to stop him."

"The heavens and worlds, except for the Immortal Realm, will likely all be ravaged by him."

"This is the most troublesome thing."

"Shushan has to fight, and so do I, so... Shushan currently doesn't have that kind of capital."

"We can only accelerate our revival and become stronger; when we reach a certain level, perhaps we can get some gifts from our ancestors to temporarily solve this trouble."

After speaking, Jiang Yan flicked his long robe sleeve, covering the mark again.

"Try not to spread this matter; I'm worried that Shushan will be in a state of panic, delaying everyone's cultivation."

As soon as the words fell, the door of the sect hall was pushed open, and Furina walked in hurriedly with a group of people.

"Sect Master! Such an important matter! How can you let the Sect Master carry it alone?"

"It's not like Shushan has no one left!"

375. Venti: Can resisting the Evil Sword Immortal make one a hero who guards the heavens?

Looking at the crowd pouring into the sect hall with anxious faces, Jiang Yan was a little surprised.

"You... when did you arrive?"

"Probably from the time of Himeko's final lesson."

Neuvillette explained softly, and Jiang Yan was a little distressed.

"It seems I was negligent."

This couldn't be blamed on him.

He was already seriously injured, and coupled with the activation of the Samadhi True Fire and the An Tudi God Mantra, his true essence was basically exhausted.

Plus the battle with the Evil Sword Immortal, being affected by the Evil Sword Immortal's evil energy, his control over his surroundings was probably not even as good as a Refining Essence into Qi cultivator at this moment.

Naturally, he couldn't discover everyone.

"Sorry, Sect Master, it was I who asked everyone to come back."

Ningguang pursed her lips and looked at Jiang Yan with some worry.

"Previously, after the Evil Sword Immortal incident, everyone was very worried about you, Sect Master."

"Plus, your complexion, Sect Master, has always been not very good, looking like your injuries are not light... and you specifically kept Himeko from another world."

"We couldn't help but think more... you, Sect Master, have always liked to carry all the trouble on your own shoulders."

"We understand that our cultivation is shallow and we can't help you, Sect Master."

"But when we first joined Shushan, we swore to share honor and disgrace with Shushan, to live and die together."

"We also treat Shushan as our home."

"Now that Shushan is in trouble, how can we sit idly by and watch you work alone, Sect Master?"

"If there is any punishment, Ningguang is willing to bear it all."

Jiang Yan stared fixedly at Ningguang and the others, and after a moment, sighed.

"Forget it, it was also my own arrogance; the affairs of Shushan should naturally be known to everyone in Shushan."

Hearing this, everyone didn't have time to be happy, and Zhongli said in a deep voice:

"Sect Master, is that Heavenly Demon Finger Confusion Seal really unsolvable?"

Jiang Yan shook his head.

"It's useless; this is not a curse or a negative effect technique, but more like an amazing energy guidance technique installed on a person."

"The only way to solve it is to kill the Evil Sword Immortal, but how is that possible?"

"The ancestors of past generations also had countless peerless geniuses; they couldn't do it, so how could we solve it in a short time?"

Tartaglia said in a deep voice:

"So, the Evil Sword Immortal is destined to kill his way here?"

"Hmm..."

Jiang Yan nodded slightly, acknowledging Tartaglia's words.

"Then let him come!"

Xiao said decisively:

"Shushan disciples never fear strong enemies! As a person of Shushan, one should have an invincible will!"

"No matter how strong that Heavenly Demon Ridge is, we are not to be trifled with!"

Jiang Yan sighed.

"Faith is good, but the gap in strength is hard to make up."

"Even if you are all peerless in talent, in a thousand years, how many people can cultivate to Refining Spirit and Returning to Void?"

"Not to mention Refining Void and Combining Dao."

"The current Heavenly Demon Ridge, if I'm not mistaken, besides the Evil Sword Immortal, I'm afraid the Five Desires Demons have also become Refining Void and Combining Dao cultivators."

"The one hundred and eight demon generals under his command are at least at the early stage of Refining Spirit and Returning to Void."

"And there are countless Refining Essence into Spirit cultivators."

Venti said softly:

"But if we don't try, how can we know we can't beat them?"

"As you said, Sect Master, if we in Shushan retreat, the heavens and worlds will all fall into the clutches of the Evil Sword Immortal."

"Shushan is the leader of the righteous path; if only Shushan can carry this banner, then we must carry it."

"Fighting for the heavens and worlds, this concept is something we have never imagined; it's very shocking."

Hearing Venti's words, everyone nodded excitedly.

Facing the crisis of the Evil Sword Immortal, they were indeed terrified, but...

If it is said to be fighting for the heavens and worlds, then only excitement remains.

Not long ago, they were just in Teyvat, either running around for the livelihood of various countries, or working for business, at most...

Planning some retirement or Archon War matters.

Now, in the blink of an eye, they have become the last line of defense guarding the heavens and worlds?

A rich sense of mission welled up in their hearts.

No matter what their status was before, whether they were young ladies, big merchants, Tianshu, or Archons.

From now on, a more important identity is...

Heroes guarding the heavens and worlds, Shushan disciples.

Thinking this way, the panic about the Evil Sword Immortal also dissipated a lot.

Jiang Yan naturally knew what they were all thinking, but if thinking this way could make them calmly face the crisis of the Evil Sword Immortal.

Then that was fine.

However...

A reminder is still necessary; the Evil Sword Immortal is not some Archon.

Archons have weak strength and still hold the concept of loving people.

The Evil Sword Immortal...

Not only is his strength almost the strongest below the Immortal Realm, he is immortal.

And, in his eyes, humans?

All spirits of the heavens are his food for evil thoughts!

Comparing Archons to the Evil Sword Immortal not only insults the Evil Sword Immortal but also insults the cultivation predecessors who sacrificed themselves to fight him.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yan said slowly:

"Having this belief is a good thing, at least it can keep you courageous in the face of strong enemies."

"But don't underestimate the Evil Sword Immortal, and don't let this hot-bloodedness cloud your judgment; the Evil Sword Immortal's strength is very strong, stronger than you can imagine."

"Besides, being strong doesn't mean the Evil Sword Immortal won't play tricks."
