The lights of tens of thousands of flying swords poured in from the top of the city wall, and the sounds of fighting and the explosion of spells made the world tremble.

A Fire Phoenix spread its wings thousands of feet high in the sky above Brilliance City. After circling the city twice, it jumped straight to the deck of an immortal boat outside the city and landed on Li Longling\'s raised right arm.

Since Matriarch Red Moon ordered the massacre of the city, the disciples of various sects in the Western Region followed their Elders and poured into Brilliance City to clear out the Ghost Spirit Sect cultivators.

After Kong Xiangmo died, three Elders in the Deification stage remained. Two of them were surrounded and killed by the Elders and masters of various sects led by Lei Wanjun and died. The remaining one also lost all his magic weapons and half of his spirit and fled away.

The rest of the demonic cultivators in the city were now like candles in the wind, not worth mentioning.

The guard beside her looked at the smoke in the city and nodded. "Miss, it should be cleaned up in two days." 

"Uhm..." Li Longling nodded in response, but a helpless look appeared on her face. 

She felt it was a little unreal. It took them only five days to capture a city with four Deification-stage cultivators. Moreover...

"What about the casualties?"

"About seven Nascent Soul-stage cultivators were slightly injured, and twelve Core Formation-stage cultivators died."

"And the demonic cultivators?"

"So far, a total of two Ghost Spirit Sect Elders in the Deification stage, twenty-seven Nascent Soul cultivators, and more than one thousand and four hundred Core Formation-stage disciples have been killed. If we count what Mr. Ye did before we came, I think there should be two to three thousand more people."

Li Longling breathed a sigh of relief. "As expected of him, he conquered an entire city by himself."

"It is indeed thanks to Master Ye, otherwise, I don\'t know how many disciples would have been killed or injured when we attacked the city..."

"I would really like to see him holding a sword and commanding tens of thousands of immortals."

Li Longling said with a slight smile as if she was joking, "I had specially modified the armor left by my father into something that he could wear, but Anping is nowhere to be found. Sigh... Really."

As she spoke, Li Longling walked to the bird cage hanging on the side and took out a black eagle with sharp eyes. She also took a jade slip from the storage bag, engraved the good news with spiritual power, and then tied it to the black eagle\'s leg.

She sent the black eagle outside the railing and shook her hand slightly. "Southern Region, Seven Star Pass."

Listening to the delicate voice, the black eagle spread its wings and leaped into the air, letting out an eagle cry that spread a hundred miles before quickly disappearing to the southeast.

The black eagle flew over the thousands of miles of yellow sand in the east of the Central Region, passing through the snow-covered plateau and the wasteland that had been abandoned for a thousand years, and going south all the way. After seven days of travel, it arrived above another immortal city.

This city, called Seven Star Pass, was located at the junction of the Southern Region and the Eastern Region. Due to its particular geographical location, the demonic cultivators set up a large number of formations and spiritual weapons here. Also, many demonic cultivators in the Nascent Soul and Deification stage were stationed here all year round to prevent the Southern Region immortal sects from breaking through the border and attacking the East.

However, when the black eagle arrived above the city, there were already countless flying boats of the immortal sects parked inside the pass, and there was a palace built on a huge floating stone above.

In a pavilion in the corner of the palace, Yun Yiyi, wearing the uniform of the Young Miss of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect, looked at the jade slips sent by the disciples, and a hint of depression appeared on her face.

Unlike Brilliance City, the Southern Region\'s capture of Seven Star Pass came at a heavy price.

In her Sword Sect alone, seven Nascent Soul-stage cultivators were injured, and many disciples were killed or injured. Even Yun Tianchong was stabbed in the waist in a fight with the leader of the Eastern Region Blood Flame Sect and was now lying in bed to recuperate.

"Ah... It\'s like this just to take down the Seven Star Pass. If we enter the Eastern Region, who knows how many people will die." Yun Yiyi lamented.

At this time, the door of her room was kicked open with a "Bang!".

Yun Jiujiu, with a bandage on her forehead, walked in with a resentful look on her face, looked around, and her eyes went to Yun Xi, who was wrapped in bandages on the bed.

"..."

After staring at Yun Xi for a while, Yun Jiujiu walked to Yun Yiyi with a look of disdain before jumping up to sit on her desk. "Sister, what the hell are you thinking?! Why did you agree to let Yun Xi come along?!"

"To attract their firepower..." Yun Yiyi shrugged slightly. "Didn\'t you notice that when we broke through the barrier, those demonic cultivators directed their spells at her? But it relieved a lot of pressure for the Elders of Bright Star Sect."

Hearing this, Yun Xi, who was lying on the bed, rolled her eyes at her elder sister.

Zhang Yihe, who was accompanying Yun Xi by the bedside, helping her to beat the wooden fish drum to calm her mind, quickly comforted her. "Third Miss, you are a great contributor!"

"..."

Yun Yiyi pouted somewhat bitterly. She was just joking. When the various sects in the Southern Region attacked the city, she deliberately arranged for Yun Xi to stay on the Sword Sect flying boat behind the flying boats of other sects.

The Bright Star Sect was at the front, and upon seeing them, the demonic cultivators in the Seven Star Pass immediately gathered tens of thousands of people and condensed a combined demonic technique to meet the attack.

Under normal circumstances, this first technique was like the first arrow, which basically had a deterrent effect. It would not be deliberately aimed at and basically could not hit.

However, this first combined demonic technique at the start of the attack directly picked out the flying boat Yun Xi was riding out of the nearly one thousand flying boats in the sky at that time.

Fortunately, Yun Yiyi had made preparations just in case. She asked other disciples of the Moon Shadow Sword Sect to come with her and Yun Jiujiu, following in another flying boat. On that particular boat, there were only Yun Xi and Yun Tianchong. Otherwise, they would have suffered a heavy loss. 

"Zhang Yihe, wait for Yun Xi to recover from her injuries, and then you take her back to Moon Shadow Sword Sect. Later, we must go to the Eastern Region. Who knows what kind of trouble she will encounter."

As soon as she finished speaking, a sound like birds pecking at wood came from the direction of the window.

Ta-ta-ta-ta-ta...

Yun Jiujiu jumped off the table and went to the window to open the latch.

Li Longling\'s black eagle used its hooked beak to push the window, looked inside, and then spread its wings and flew to Yun Yiyi\'s table, grabbing the jade slip and lifting it up.

"The news sent by Miss Li... It should be about the situation in the Brilliance City."

Yun Yiyi took down the jade slip and looked it up with her spiritual sense.

Yun Jiujiu also hurried over and raised her eyebrows curiously. "...How are they doing?"

"They took over the Brilliance City in five days, and there were almost no casualties..."

"Eh?!"

"The Ghost Spirit Sect lost three late-stage Deification cultivators, including the Great Elder… On the immortals\' side, only a few Nascent Soul cultivators were slightly injured, and twelve Core Formation cultivators died."

Yun Jiujiu was stunned. "Is it true?"

"Most likely." Yun Yiyi shrugged as if she was not surprised, then sighed. "After all, Anping is over there. With him, conquering Brilliance City must be a piece of cake."

"..."

Yun Yiyi expressed her admiration. "It\'s a pity that Anping is too busy to do anything else. Otherwise, the Southern Region wouldn\'t have suffered such heavy casualties. Even the Northern Region\'s Cold Country suffered less than us."

This time, the immortals\' eastern expedition was a joint effort of the immortal sects in the Western, Southern, and Northern Regions. The first step was to recapture the three immortal cities that were connected to the Eastern Region, namely, Brilliance City, Seven Stars Pass, and Frost City.

The immortals now knew very little about the situation in the Eastern Region. Even the map they had was an old map left over from the last war between the immortal and demonic cultivators.

But after thousands of years had passed, no one could tell what the Eastern Region looked like.

Therefore, what the immortal sects needed to do now was to use these three cities as bases, send their disciples in from three directions to explore, and step by step, find out about the situation in the Eastern Region as much as possible.

In other words, it required a lot of immortal cannon fodder to enter the Eastern Region as scouts.

Before finding out the situation in the Eastern Region, Matriarch Red Moon, Sun Juehu, and Grandmaster Zhiming would never dare to step into it directly. Otherwise, if one of the three fell into an ambush or a trap, the Immortal Family was doomed to be defeated.

Yun Yiyi did not experience the last war, but she read all the books in the Sword Sect\'s library a while ago.

In the last war, it took the Immortal Family nearly sixty years to find out the situation of the demonic cultivators.

No one could say how long it would take this time.

But there was no doubt that the next step would be a test of patience against the demonic cultivators.

When Yun Yiyi thought of this, she suddenly felt a pressure in her heart. 

After all, she was now the Young Miss of the Sword Sect. When her father would go to the Eastern Region to kill demonic cultivators, she would need to lead the disciples of the Sword Sect in Seven Stars Pass.

She wanted to release the pressure, but unfortunately, Ye Anping was not here...

"Ah..."

Yun Yiyi let out a small sigh, then asked, "Jiujiu, I must stay in Seven Stars Pass at that time, why don\'t you..."

"Don\'t worry~" Yun Jiujiu waved her hand. "I am not the kind of person who sits in the back and makes plans. Besides, I am a cultivator in the Nascent Soul stage after all. I will definitely lead the disciples of the Sword Sect to the Eastern Region later."

Yun Yiyi frowned slightly when she saw her like this.

However, seeing her elder sister\'s worried face, Yun Jiujiu smiled crookedly and added, "What\'s the matter? Are you worried about me?"

"I only have two sisters. One of them violated the immortal rules in the previous life and has to go through eighty-one tribulations. The other one is carefree and only knows how to drink all day. How can I not worry?"

"Heh!" Yun Jiujiu smiled happily as she patted Yun Yiyi on the shoulder. "Sister, didn\'t you wish for me to die before?"

"..."

"Don\'t worry! I will definitely come back alive. Didn\'t I come back alive last time when I was at the Eastern Wall?"

Yun Jiujiu grabbed her wine gourd and took a sip. "Besides, heroes emerge in troubled times! Didn\'t our grandfather become famous in the war between the immortal and the demonic cultivators? Who knows, I might be able to make a name for myself. I\'ve even thought of a title! I\'ll be the Drunken Sword Immortal!"

"You\'d better be careful, sigh…"

"Alright, alright, why are you sighing…" Yun Jiujiu pursed her lips and handed her the wine gourd. "Drink some?"

Normally, Yun Yiyi didn\'t drink much, but seeing Yun Jiujiu handing it over, she simply took it and raised her head to drink a sip.

Gulp...

"Ha..." Yun Yiyi wiped her mouth with her sleeve and warned her. "Be careful, take it one step at a time, don\'t be careless as usual."

"I know, don\'t be so fussy! You said before that one Nascent Soul cultivator will lead five Core Formation cultivators, right?"

"Yeah, six people in a team, the best ones. The teams will split up to explore the Eastern Region."

"Okay! Then, I\'ll go gather people..."

"What people?!" Yun Yiyi was stunned for a moment, then interrupted with a frown. "You should heal your head injury first!!"

"It\'s okay! It\'s just a minor injury..."

Yun Jiujiu pouted and took back her wine gourd before running out quickly.

Yun Yiyi stood up and chased her out while shouting, "Hey! Jiujiu! Come back!!"

"..."

Unfortunately, when Yun Yiyi chased out, Yun Jiujiu had already disappeared.

She looked at the several Sword Sect disciples standing guard in the corridor, sighed slightly, and returned to the desk to look at a map in the center of the pavilion.

Yun Yiyi thought that if Ye Anping knew the situation in the Eastern Region, he should tell her what he knew, but until now, Ye Anping had not said anything to her...

She didn\'t think Ye Anping was unwilling to share what he knew with her. So, Yun Yiyi guessed that the reason why Ye Anping didn\'t tell her was that he didn\'t want her to become a target in the eyes of the demonic cultivators\' spies.

In other words, there were probably still many demonic cultivators\' spies in the Immortal Family.

"In short, except for Yun Xi, Jiujiu, and Dad, I should be wary of everyone else..."

Yun Yiyi murmured, unconsciously looking at Zhang Yihe who was knocking the wooden fish beside the bed.

Ta-ta-ta...

"Blessings, blessings~ May Third Miss exchange her losses for gains!! Blessings!!"

Yun Xi\'s eyes were a little hopeless at this moment, and she said in a weak voice, "Zhang... shut up."

"Oh~~"

Tap...tap...tap...

Yun Yiyi sighed. Although she felt that Zhang Yihe was extraordinary, he 

didn\'t look like a spy of the demonic cultivators.

If Zhang Yihe was really a bad guy, Ye Anping would definitely warn her.

Yun Yiyi shook her head slightly, then returned to the table and sat down, continuing to deal with the affairs of the Sword Sect.
