Eternal Life: My Talents Can Refresh

It seems that the injury is quite serious.

And with Wu Lingwei appearing alongside the people from Changkong Hall, it confirmed most people’s prior speculation about Frost Moon Pavilion’s background.

Just as Chu Ning was pondering this, the elder in the Changkong Hall magic robe, with white brows and beard, spoke:

"I am Shang Song of Changkong Hall, and this is my junior brother Shen Yu. We both serve as Protectors in the hall."

As he spoke, the elder’s gaze scanned the crowd below.

"I know many fellow Daoists are very concerned about the matter of Snow Mist Valley, and so are we. However, my nephew Wu Lingwei from Frost Moon Pavilion was seriously injured before and only woke up today.

We could only gather everyone today to inform you."

Then Shang Song turned to Wu Lingwei and said, "Nephew Wu, why don’t you start by telling the fellow Daoists?"

Wu Lingwei took a step forward, her face somewhat pale, and her eyes showing a hint of lingering fear.

"Actually, many fellow Daoists present have experienced the events in the valley. Now we can basically determine that the rumor of the Spiritual Clarity Fruit was a deliberately released fake message by the Demon Race.

The purpose was to lure many Golden Core Late Stage cultivators in so that they could then unite with the demon beasts of the Snow Peak Mountain Range to attack us."

As she spoke, Wu Lingwei briefly recounted her experience in the valley.

Initially searching for treasures in the valley until finally encountering those Tier Seven and Tier Eight demon beasts.

"Despite receiving help from two Nascent Soul seniors of the Illusion Spirit Sect during the fierce battle, there were as many as four Tier Eight great demons.

Initially, only two Tier Eight great demons fought against the two seniors, while we held off two.

But later, as several fellow Daoists fell, the Tier Seven demon beasts held us off, and the four Tier Eight great demons began to besiege the two Nascent Soul seniors of the Illusion Spirit Sect."

As Wu Lingwei spoke these words, many people’s eyes turned to Tantai Song, the young sect leader of the Illusion Spirit Sect.

As Wu Lingwei continued her account, his face turned quite grim.

"The two Nascent Soul seniors fought against four great demons, and although they injured two of them, they both ended up severely wounded.

By the time the two seniors from the hall arrived, both had been destroyed in body, and only their Nascent Souls managed to escape.

Among us Golden Core Late Stage cultivators, only five eventually escaped.

This was after the two seniors from the hall arrived, and upon discovering that the Demon Race had alerted external cultivators, they withdrew.

If not for that..."

Wu Lingwei didn’t continue, but everyone understood.

The result would naturally have been complete annihilation.

Although Chu Ning saw the start of the fierce battle that day, it was only now that he learned the outcome.

He couldn’t help but feel a chill down his spine.

He was thankful that hiding and leaving was indeed a wise decision that day.

Otherwise, with the two Nascent Soul cultivators having their bodies destroyed and only their Nascent Souls escaping, had he stayed there himself...

No matter how many means he had, the chances of falling were extremely high.

At this moment, Shang Song continued, "Thanks to more than ten fellow Daoists rushing out of Snow Mist Valley and coming to the city to report."

This is roughly how it happened. After returning, please remind all disciples in your sects.

Recently, the Demon Race has been extremely hostile to us cultivators, and we have to be on guard. It seems we may need all cultivators to unite to deal with this."

"Is this matter going to end just like this?" At this moment, Black Death Demon Situ Yan suddenly spoke.

"At that time in Snow Mist Valley, if Wu Lingwei hadn’t shouted about the Spiritual Clarity Fruit, I would have already left the valley.

I wouldn’t have been so heavily injured. Shouldn’t your Changkong Hall also give some explanation for this?"

As Situ Yan’s words fell, Tantai Song immediately picked up the conversation and said:

"Indeed, if not for this, my two martial uncles would not have rushed over.

If it weren’t for this, even encountering one or two Tier Eight demon beasts, we could still handle it.

This time, we at the Illusion Spirit Sect wouldn’t have suffered such great losses."

Over at the Divine Sound Valley’s side, the female cultivator surnamed Jing looked equally displeased but, after a slight flash in her eyes, eventually didn’t say anything.

As for the others in the hall, they were all from various Northern Cold forces who came to hear the news.

They didn’t know if any of their sect members were involved when Wu Lingwei shouted at the time.

So at this moment, they didn’t criticize but instead turned to Wu Lingwei to inquire.

"Fellow Daoist Wu, was my sect’s senior brother also deceived by you to join the battle?"

Even though Wu Lingwei had seen much of the world.

At this moment, facing so many questions, she fell silent for a while, unsure of how to respond.

At this time, another Nascent Soul cultivator who had been silent, Shen Yu, let out a cold snort.

"It’s true that the information about the Spiritual Clarity Fruit mentioned by Nephew Wu was not authentic, but before that, she only intended to call some fellow Daoists to deal with those Tier Seven demon beasts together.

How could she have known about the existence of Tier Eight demon beasts."

As he spoke, his gaze fell on Tantai Song.

"The Illusion Spirit Sect sent Nascent Soul cultivators without anyone knowing, didn’t they?

We Northern Cold’s Nascent Soul cultivators had an agreement long ago: Nascent Soul cultivators from the three lands should not enter other lands unless necessary.

If they do, they need to give notice.

What does the Illusion Spirit Sect have to say about this?"

Tantai Song and a few other Illusion Spirit Sect cultivators’ faces changed slightly upon hearing this, but they didn’t dare to retort further.

At this moment, Shen Yu’s gaze swept over to Situ Yan.

"And also, do you really think that if Nephew Wu hadn’t called for everyone to gather, you would have safely left the valley?

If these demon beasts guarded the exit, who among you could truly escape?

If that were the case, even the earlier ten or so Middle Stage, Early Stage Golden Core cultivators wouldn’t have escaped."

As Shen Yu’s words came out, all the cultivators fell silent.

Because everyone realized that he had some valid points.

At this moment, Shang Song took over the conversation, sighed, and said:

"In this case, all sect forces have suffered losses. The losses among our Ice Island Immortal City’s fellow Daoists were particularly severe.

The only good news is that many Tier Six and Tier Seven demon beasts of the Demon Race were likewise killed or injured. If the Demon Race wants to attack human cultivators again, they will have to think twice."

The two Nascent Soul cultivators from Changkong Hall played good cop-bad cop.

At this point, it was hard for everyone to continue arguing.

Moreover, with both being Nascent Soul cultivators, they already held a conversational edge.

Shang Song took the opportunity to say:

"Fellow Daoists from the Immortal City, please stay, while those from the other two lands, please return.

Discussing how to handle the Demon Race is more important than entangling with us at Changkong Hall."

As these words came out, many cultivators left one after another.

In the blink of an eye, only some Golden Core independent cultivators from Ice Island Immortal City remained in the hall.

Among them, besides Chu Ning and four others, the rest were cultivators who had resided in the Immortal City but hadn’t entered Snow Mist Valley.

There was one more—Black Death Demon Situ Yan.

Shen Yu slightly furrowed his brows at this moment and said:

"Situ Yan, do you have any dissatisfaction?"

Situ Yan raised his head now, his blurred eyes passing over Chu Ning and Chang Lingshan.

Then, he looked back at the two Nascent Soul cultivators from Changkong Hall.

"I can accept this loss, but I have one more request."
