The next day…

“Stop, where do you think you’re going, disciple?”

Just as Wen Zhihao was lifting-off with the flying cart and his charges, an elderly-looking male cultivator pushed the cart back down with a heavy qi slap.

Wen Zhihao inwardly frowned, barely stopping the cart before it could slam into the ground. The children in the cart shivered in fear, doing their best to hide behind Wen Zhihao. yLsOA3

“Senior Elder, may I please understand what you mean?” Wen Zhihao asked politely.

The male cultivator, surnamed Luo, looked at him with a hint of mockery. “A peak-stage Golden Core disciple…running away?”

Wen Zhihao inwardly rolled his eyes. He wasn’t at peak stage! “If I may correct you—”

“You are a disciple of the Golden Sun Sect! We give you resources, and yet you want to run away? Or are you going to join the demonic cultivators?”

qsQ Ma

Wen Zhihao’s lips tightened. He pushed back against the domineering qi from the other cultivator. “Forgive this junior disciple, but I don’t know what’s happening.”

Senior Cultivator Luo’s eyes flashed with annoyance. “Tch, as expected of one of Elder Liu’s disciples! You don’t need to know! All you need to do is to listen to the orders of your elders.”

Wen Zhihao’s eyes flickered to the space behind the other cultivator. His heart lifted when he saw Sun Fuyu flying towards him.

The elderly-looking cultivator continued, “Leave those mortals in their buildings. All inner-sect disciples are to meet at the West Gate. Don’t make me drag you there in chains!” Kh17yr

“I will make my way there,” Wen Zhihao conceded.

“Hmmpf.” With a snort, Senior Cultivator Luo glared at Wen Zhihao, glared at the children and teenagers in the cart, and glared at Sun Fuyu.

“You, disciple Sun! You need to go to the West Gate too!” he ordered Sun Fuyu. “Pah, that disciple Lin should be doing this instead of dragging his feet!” The cultivator stomped away, continuing his rampage on unsuspected disciples.

Fuck, was this the infamous righteous-versus-demonic war that happened in xianxia dramas? Didn’t the protagonists, Lin Yijun and Zhou Sheng, already make up?

He turned to the scared children and gave them a reassuring smile. His qi spread over them, calming them down.

“It seems that you have a holiday,” he said to the young ones. “I’ll take you all to Grandma Liu. You get to have fun!”

The little ones nodded. The older teenagers weren’t so easily convinced, but Wen Zhihao gave them comforting head-pats.

Liu Jing was surprised to see her children and grandchildren return so soon. YNmAF9

“It seems I can’t take them to school today,” Wen Zhihao said apologetically.

While Wen Zhihao gave each child one last hug, Sun Fuyu went up to Aunty Liu.

In a little private corner, Sun Fuyu quietly told her about the upcoming war between the sects.

Aunty Liu Jing’s brows pinched with worry. “You’re both just children, they can’t let you fight—” BGQule

“We’re inner-sect disciples,” Sun Fuyu said somberly. “The sect should be safe, but just in case…” Sun Fuyu took out all the defensive talismans that Wen-ge had given him. “Keep these.”

“Xiao Fuyu…”

“I’ll be fine, and I’ll protect Wen-ge,” Sun Fuyu said firmly.

Aunty Liu sighed lightly. “Stay safe.” A5Ggzb

Liu Jing watched Xiao Wen and Xiao Fuyu leave the kitchens, flying on their swords over the buildings. She watched until she couldn’t see even a speck of them.

They were two inner sect cultivators, with rank and prestige and power far beyond Liu Jing’s own, but they were so young. If she could take their place, she’d do so in a heartbeat.

My children, come back alive.

Numerous golden robed inner-sect disciples gathered at the West Gate of the Golden Sun Sect, many with frowns on their faces. faBLxG

Hu Jingyan caught Sun Fuyu’s attention and waved them over into a group with the rest of Liu Zhongmin’s disciples, plus Zhang Wu.

Sun Fuyu and Wen Zhihao descended and stepped down from their flying swords.

“Good morning,” Wen Zhihao greeted everyone.

“Hu-shijie, Gao-shixiong, Zhang-shixiong…” Sun Fuyu greeted his seniors one-by-one. zDfJcV

Hu Jingyan looked at her young little Sun-shidi, feeling a pinch in her heart. “What happens next, let your shijie deal with it, okay? Stay away from the fighting.”

Sun Fuyu’s eyes lowered slightly, silent. It was clear that he didn’t want to agree.

Chrysanthemum Garden.

“—You’re here?” Lin Yijun hurried over to them, frowning when he saw Wen Zhihao. There was a tightness to his jaw, and his hair had a slight sense of disheveledness—on anyone else, his hair would be impeccable, but not on Lin Yijun. “Disciple Wen is a non-combatant, you should not be here.”

Wen Zhihao raised his eyebrows. “A senior cultivator told me to come here on no uncertain terms—” KHdaSx

“Senior Cultivator Luo,” Sun Fuyu said helpfully.

“Cultivator Luo?” Lin Yijun’s eyes flashed. He briefly closed his eyes, forcing down the annoyance and weariness.

Wen Zhihao’s eyes softened. “Here, Senior Lin.” He produced a fresh hot meat bun and a bamboo flask of spiritual water. “This will give you energy, don’t be polite.”

Lin Yijun stared at the food, his mind immediately returning to Zhou Sheng. “Thank you,” he said tersely. He accepted the food, but placed it in his spatial storage rather than eating it. “Disciple Wen—” vku4QZ

A sudden heavy, domineering aura pressed down on the entire area. The weakest inner sect disciples fell to their knees with painful thuds.

Elder Wang looked down on the junior disciples gathered, their heads tilted up to him as though he was a god from the heavens. “Satisfactory.” He pulled back his aura.

His eyes narrowed when he saw Lin Yijun standing with Liu Zhongmin’s bunch. “Cultivator Lin Yijun, lead the way.”

Hu Jingyan met Elder Wang’s gaze fearlessly. “Lead? Where is Elder Liu and the other Elders?” ZYuFrR

“Are you questioning me, Disciple Hu?” Elder Wang casually released enough of his aura to make Disciple Hu’s knees tremble. “Elder Liu is required to stay back and defend the sect.” Elder Wang flicked a sleeve and the gate opened. “Cultivator Lin, you may proceed.”

Elder Wang’s gaze was like a burning iron on the back of Lin Yijun’s neck.

Lin Yijun pulled himself together, a coldness settling in his eyes. “Disciples, mount your swords,” he commanded.

Wen Zhihao and Sun Fuyu’s gazes met. Silently, they mounted their swords, rising up, close enough to hold hands if they wished. But they didn’t, not with the sharp gazes behind them. ZHzIAb

The young inner sect disciples were trapped between Senior Cultivator Lin Yijun in the front and Elder Wang and a group of other senior cultivators at the back. They could only swallow their anxieties and follow Lin Yijun towards the battlefield.

  3. Oh heck! Things are getting serious. It would be nice if Wen Zhihao’s aura just could make all cultivators on the battlefield fall asleep but his cultivation level, just aint high enough

    But…going this train of thoughts, imagine high cultivation Wen Zhihao, known for his incredibly powerful aura that just makes every cultivator lose all will to fight or straight up fall asleep. Truly powerful!

  4. I’m anxious right now

    Cultivator Luo and Elder Wang Hope you have a very nice to death journey ( ‘-‘) 🔪

  6. “Elder Wang looked down on the junior disciples gathered, their heads tilted up to him as though he was a god from the heavens.”

    🤢

    I hope Wen Zihao’s aura puts him to sleep.

    Forever 🔪

    anyway egoistic posturing old men aside……

    I believe in Lin Yijun! And Zhou Sheng!

    Fighting!

  7. Mama Liu deserves all the protection in the universe!

    I hope Elder Wang shrivels up like the raisin ass he is and disappearios from the face of the earth but alas, stupid yucky elders must exist for a reason ah

    It’d be so nice if Haohao were to just… Jeff the killer this fight and “Go to SLEEEP!” the poopheads, ya know

  8. So elder luo is so incompetent, he cannot tell combatants from non combatants. Sick. Or he just gives zero fucks. Either way, shit way to lead a war. WHERE ARE YOUR TACTICS, SIR?!?! THERE ARE NONE! He is literally not listening to ANYONE ELSE and is just ruling through his aura. Through intimidation. With that “Who Dares Disobey By Questioning Me!??!” Sir. Have a kit kat. Auntie Liu is chef’s kiss as always. Those poor kiddos. ;-; Those stuffy old fools had better not be scheming against them as they oh ya know, charge headfirst into battle. Does best elder even know what’s going down. OOOOO SHE’S GONNA BE SO MAD ABOUT WZ. HOOOOOOOH. The stinky elder interrupted LY. How dare. THIS IS THE THIRD TIME HE’S BEEN INTERRUPTED WHEN HE’S ABOUT TO SAY SM IMPORTANT WHAT THE HECK 😂😂😂

    • I’ve got a feeling that the elder deliberately gathered a random group of the youngest young disciples (also notice! Most of them are students of the elders who is not in his ‘fraction’) and he chose a lot of non-combatants there deliberately. And the group they gathered doesn’t looks to be big enough. I suspect, this elders plan to use this students as cannon fodder, make them into ‘victims’ to use later in their pro-war rethorics

  9. What a bunch of old geezers to push the young first beside the war is completly pointless there’s nothing to gain but everything to lose

    Thank you for the hard work but don’t forget to rest well

  10. And on the battlefield WZ unleashed his aura and everyone fell asleep. The End.

    And wedding as an NSFW extra 😂

  11. Love the picture! So essentially, Elder Wang and his group are kind of like Mussolini and his blackshirts, wanting to dictate over the sect and win glory in war… I wonder if Elder Liu is even aware of what’s going on. Wouldn’t the talisman makers be asked to provide helpful talismans for the combatants? Wen-ge really needs to to figure out how to check his level. He keeps finding out in unexpected ways.

    • yeah, the talisman makers should be providing materials for the combatants, but at the same time, Elder Wang wants to leave ASAP and doesn’t want to waste time for unprepared people to prepare….

      and omg yess Wen Zhihao seriously needs to find a way 🤣 maybe the other transmigrator might make a magical device that checks for him and gives him a game panel 🤣🤣🤣

  13. it looks like they escort them to be shooted down, not to lead to war. Not information about their enemy, nor some tactics. Author-sama, it’s your bad, or it should be like that?~

    thanks for the chapter~

  18. Okay cultivator Luo is now on my shit list for nearly harming a cart full of kids 😠

    Thanks for the chapter!

  19. Elder Wang needs his face slapped to death. I just- he’s beyond redemption for me. Thank you so much for the update and story- I feel invested- that is why I also want Elder Wang to die a messy and brutal death in the background… because he and his accomplices are all monsters. 😀

  21. These kinds of adults irritates me to death. They say you mature when you get old yet look at them. If any favorite characters of mine get hurt, i’ll slice them up slowly.

  25. So typical of self righteous sect who spend all their time cultivating. I suspect the reason for cultivation is to have a reason to fight.

    Seriously why are they going to war? They do not even want to help protect, feed and care for the kidnap slave mortals but they want to go to war to prevent killing of mortals. Don’t the mortals who get kidnap and sold of die too? Why didn’t they lend a hand to help them then?
