Chapter 628

"But Shushan..."

Jiang Yan sighed and said melancholically:

"The Evil Sword Immortal acts recklessly; he wouldn't mind forcing Shushan to appear and fight by threatening the life and death of the entire world."

"If we don't accept the challenge, 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 accept the challenge, 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, like him..."

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

"At that time, he will return to his peak period, and no one under the Immortal Realm will be able to stop him."

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

"This is the most troublesome thing."

"Shushan has to accept the challenge, and so do I, so... Shushan right now 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 obtain some gifts from our ancestors to temporarily solve this trouble."

Having said that, Jiang Yan flicked his long robe sleeve, covering the mark again.

"Try not to spread this matter; I'm worried that Shushan will be filled with panic, delaying everyone's cultivation."

As soon as the words fell, the doors of the sect's main hall were 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 our 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's main hall with anxious faces, Jiang Yan was somewhat surprised.

"You... when did you arrive?"

"Probably since Himeko's final lesson."

Neuvillette explained softly, and Jiang Yan was somewhat distressed.

"It seems I was negligent."

This couldn't be blamed on him either.

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

Plus, fighting the Evil Sword Immortal and 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 time.

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.

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

"Plus, the Sect Master's complexion has always been not very good, looking like the injury is not light... and, you specifically kept Himeko from another world."

"We couldn't help but think more... the Sect Master has always liked to carry all the trouble on his own shoulders."

"We understand that our cultivation is shallow and we can't help the Sect Master with anything."

"But when we first joined Shushan, we vowed to share honor and disgrace with Shushan, and 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 the Sect Master work alone?"

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

Jiang Yan looked steadily at Ningguang and the others, and after a moment, sighed.

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

Upon hearing this, the crowd didn't have time to be happy, and Zhongli said in a deep voice:

"Sect Master, can that Heavenly Demon Finger Confusion Seal really not be solved?"

Jiang Yan shook his head.

"It's useless; this is not a curse or a negative effect technique, it's more like a strange breath-guiding technique installed on a person."

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

"Past ancestors also had countless peerless geniuses, and they couldn't do anything about it; how can we solve it in a short time?"

Tartaglia said in a deep voice:

"So, the Evil Sword Immortal is destined to come and kill us?"

"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 the will to be invincible!"

"No matter how strong that Heavenly Demon Ridge is, we aren't pushovers!"

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 Qi."

Venti said softly:

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

"As the Sect Master said, if we in Shushan retreat, the heavens and myriad 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 myriad worlds, this concept is something we have never imagined; it's very shocking."

Hearing Venti's words, the crowd also nodded excitedly.

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

If it was said to be fighting for the heavens and myriad worlds, then only excitement remained.

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 the Archon War.

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

A rich sense of mission surged into 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 myriad worlds, Shushan disciples.

Thinking of this, 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...

Reminders still needed to be given; the Evil Sword Immortal was not some Archon.

Archons were weak in strength and still held the concept of loving people.

The Evil Sword Immortal...

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

And, in his eyes, humans?

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

Comparing Archons to the Evil Sword Immortal not only insulted the Evil Sword Immortal, but also insulted the predecessors of cultivators who sacrificed themselves to fight him.

After thinking for a while, Jiang Yan said softly:

"Having this faith 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 blood go to your head; the Evil Sword Immortal's strength is very strong, stronger than you can imagine."

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