    The little fellow was not picky and obediently epted this tacky name.


    However, Cheng Xu started to feel troubled about naming the flying sword.


    “Senior Brother, Senior Brother, I heard that you’re back.”


    Miao Changsheng’s loud voice came from outside the cave.


    Cheng Xu silently put away his flying sword and stood up to wee him.


    “Eh? Senior Brother Tang and Senior Sister Jian are back too?” He thought that Miao Changsheng was the only one here. He did not expect Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang to be here as well. “Judging from your expressions, you must have gotten a good harvest, right?”


    “Not bad, not bad. 1 only killed two Early-stage Foundation Establishment demonic cultivators.” Miao Changsheng showed off to Cheng Xu, “Senior Martial Brother Tang and Senior Martial Sister Jian are the real formidable ones. They have already made a name for themselves among the demonic cultivators. Many demonic cultivators run away as fast as rabbits when they see them.”


    “Don’t listen to Junior Brother Miao’s nonsense,” Tang Xuan said modestly. “Junior Sister Jian and 1 just got rid of the demons not long ago.”


    “I heard that Junior Brother went to the Endless Deste Domain with Yan Changfeng and the others? Did you find any useful information?” asked Jian Yuxiang curiously.


    Cheng Xu invited them to take a seat and then roughly told them about their experience.


    Knowing that they had met an old man who had walked out from the depths of Waste Realm, the three of them couldn’t help but look at each other.


    “Why? Is there a problem?”


    Cheng Xu saw that the three people’s reactions were a little strange and could not help but be a little puzzled.


    “This… You might not believe it,” Miao Changsheng said with a strange expression. “Two days ago, when we were exterminating demons in a demonic stronghold on Ho Mountain, we also encountered a mysterious old man. The moment that old man appeared, he turned the demonic stronghold on Ho Mountain upside down as if he was looking for something.”


    Cheng Xu was stunned. “No way. What a coincidence?”


    “At first, we thought it was some powerful senior wandering cultivator. Now it seems that it’s probably the old man you encountered.” Jian Yuxiang was secretly surprised. “That old man’s clothes are ragged, but hisbat strength is amazing. The hundreds of demonic cultivators of Ho Mountain are like chickens and dogs in front of him.”


    “Doesn’t he look too smart?”


    “Uh, he doesn’t look very clear-headed.”


    “Alright, then it should be a person. It looks like that old man is really a cultivator from our Little South Heaven.” Cheng Xu said in surprise.


    “At that time, there were also teams from other sects present. After the old man left, the entrance to an ancient ruin was revealed in Hu Lao Mountain. We rushed back in order to report the situation back to the sect.” Tang Xuan said. “Ho Mountain? Ancient Ruins Entrance?” Cheng Xu was secretly surprised.


    At least in the misceneous knowledge he had, there was no special record of Ho Mountain.


    “It’s a very sinister ancient ruin. Next, all the sects will probably organize people to go in and investigate. When the timees, Junior Brother will follow us in to take a look.”


    Cheng Xu nodded slightly, faintly looking forward to it.


    As they spoke, Little Red rolled out from the corner and passed by them.


    “D*mn, what is this?”


    Miao Changsheng looked at Xiao Hong in shock. Tang Xuan and Jian Yuxiang were also shocked.


    “This is the little guy I picked up from the Endless Deste Domain. I named it Little Red.” Cheng Xu introduced with a smile.


    The three of them couldn’t help but surround him and observe him carefully.


    “What a strange little thing. It’s clearly a living thing, but it doesn’t have any life energy fluctuations.” Jian Yuxiang’s eyes shed with curiosity and love.


    The few of them exchanged a few simple pleasantries before leaving.


    A momentter, Jian Yuxiang returned.


    “Senior Sister, is there anything else?” Cheng Xu was puzzled.


    Jian Yuxiang nodded, “That’s right. The Chamber of Commerce took Junior Brother’s Array Disk to the Great Southern Wastndst month, and the response was very good. The caravan just came back from the Great Southern Wastnd these two days, and they also brought back a batch of Array Disk orders. 1 wonder if Junior Brother is interested in taking this order?”


    “An order from the Great Southern Wastnd? How much?” Cheng Xu was secretly surprised.


    “loo sets, each set has 70,000 spirit stones.”


    Cheng Xu’s eyes could not help but be filled with light. Good heavens, this was a huge order worth seven million!


    “When will the goods be delivered?”


    “The caravan to the Great Southern Wastnd will set off at the end of the month, so there’s no hurry.”


    “Alright, i’ll hand the goods over to Senior Sister.”


    Jian Yuxiang smiled and nodded. Then, she said hesitantly, “There’s something else I don’t know if 1 should tell you or not.”


    “Why are you so conflicted?” Cheng Xu was puzzled.


    “Recently, the n has heard some news and has already begun to secretly prepare to withdraw from Mini Southern Heaven. I’ve mentioned it to Master and Sect Master, but they didn’t seem to take it to heart,” Jian Yuxiang said worriedly.


    Hearing this, Cheng Xu’s heart couldn’t help but beat wildly. “What do you mean? Could it be that there’s really a demonic army attacking?”


    “It should be. Moreover, the scale of the demonic army far exceeds our imagination.”


    “Hiss…” Cheng Xu inhaled a breath of cold air. “Senior Sister, do you mean that you want to leave with the family?”


    “This is also what I’m most conflicted about.” Jian Yuxiang sighed softly. “In my heart, I naturally want to live and die with the sect, but I can’t give up my family.”


    Cheng Xu was silent for a long time.”


    “Half a year at most.”


    “So fast?” Cheng Xu was shocked and had to start nning for the future. “Thank you for telling me, Senior Sister.”


    After sending Jian Yuxiang off, Cheng Xu’s mood was unprecedentedly solemn.


    After hesitating for a while, he decided to talk to Chi Yao Zhenren.


    However, what he didn’t expect was that Chi Yao Zhenren seemed to have heard the news about the arrival of the demonic army. “This matter is no longer a secret to the higher-ups of the various sects. The reason why 1 didn’t tell you was mainly to avoid unnecessary panic.”


    “Then what ns do the various sects have?” Cheng Xu frowned and asked.


    “The sects are basically nning on two things now. If possible, they want to protect the foundation left behind by the ancestor as much as possible.” Perfected Chi Yao had aplicated expression.


    “Can you hold on?”


    “It’s still possible.” Chi Yao Zhenren smiled. “The Demonic Path has mobilized such arge force this time. It’s obvious that they’re not here for the barrennd of Mini Southern Heaven. Therefore, there’s definitely room for maneuver. At most, it’ll be like the other cultivation ces, forming a situation where the Righteous Path and the Demonic Path stand side by side.”


    Cheng Xu pondered and nodded. The analysis of the upper echelons of each sect was not without reason.


    “If it really doesn’t work, 1 can only abandon the mountain gate and go north to find the ancestor’s orthodoxy.”


    “Ancestral Patriarch’s teachings?” Cheng Xu was shocked, “(Our Medicine Celestial Valley has other orthodoxies in other cultivation ces?)”


    “ording to the information left behind by the founder, there is indeed one. However, we don’t know if the orthodoxy is still around. And it’s not just our Medicine Celestial Valley,” Perfected Chi Yao said. “The other four sects also have ancestral orthodoxies in the Central Region. The Mystic Arts Sect and the Shenluo Hall even have intermittent connections with their orthodoxies.”


    Cheng Xu clicked his tongue in wonder.


    Good heavens, so these few major sects like Mini Southern Heaven all had backgrounds!


    After learning that the Medicine Celestial Valley still had such a path of retreat, Cheng Xu’s worries eased a lot.


    “Strange, why did the Devil Dao mobilize so many people toe to Mini Southern Heaven?”


    “This is also the focus of the various sects investigations at this stage. The only clue we have now is the great war ten thousand years ago,” Chi Yao Zhenren said with a frown. “But there are very few records about that war. We can’t find any clues at all.”


    Cheng Xu nodded and didn’t say anything else.


    After returning to the cave, he began to prepare to head to the ancient ruins on Ho Mountain.


    If that old man had really participated in the great war ten thousand years ago, then the ancient ruins of Ho Mountain were very likely to be rted to the great war ten thousand years ago..
