In less than ten minutes, the afterglow from the sky had become dimmer and the surrounding Spirit Qi had grown denser. It was as if someone had poured large amounts of Spirit Qi into the Upper Azure World. There were even faint wisps of Spirit Qi lingering in the horizon.

Could what the immortal said be true? Everyone felt a shiver of fear. That glow they saw earlier must have been the sign that the Heavenly Gate was open. Were those beams of light really… the immortals who were coming to annihilate the world?!

Why did the immortals from the upper realm want to attack those in the lower realm?

“Sect Master, what should we do now?” asked Yu Hong sombrely, trying to suppress her apprehension.

Shen Ying pondered for a while before replying, “Which sect has the most people now?”

For a moment, there was silence as everyone was baffled by her question. It was Yi Qing who stepped forward and answered, “Master, as the date for the recruitment of sect disciples has just passed, the various sects are now probably in the process of conducting the qualifying tests. The place with the most people should be… the three great aristocratic families!”

Nodding her head, Shen Ying was about to say something when a disciple carrying two pieces of jade tablets rushed in to report, “Sect Master, we’ve just received a message from the Yin and Xuan Yuan Families. They have met with strong adversaries and request our help.”

Everyone sucked in their breaths at the news. They now understood that if the immortals intended on annihilating the world, the first thing they would do was to head for the place with the most people.

Shen Ying hurriedly gave out orders to her sect members.

“Chef, go to the Vegetable Family. If you meet the immortals there don’t pit yourself against them, get away if you can. If that’s not possible, delay them, I’m going to the Yin Family, but I’ll join you as soon as I can.”

“OK, Master,” replied Yi Qing with a nod. As time was short, he summoned his sword and was about to leave when he suddenly turned around, having thought of something. “Master, bring Radish along with you.”

“… Got it.”

Reassured, Yi Qing flew off.

Shen Ying’s mouth twitched. Turning to Yu Hong, she continued, “Little Hong, take Father Niu and the other disciples to the Rabbit’s place immediately. Don’t leave the Demon Realm until I come back.”

“Yes, Sect Master,” Yu Hong paused in thought for a moment before adding. “What about the Yi Family?”

“The Director has the long worm to back him up, they should be all right for the moment.”

Long… worm. What the hell was that?

“Radish, let’s go!” Shen Ying called out.

“Ji!” Whirling his body, Radish immediately transformed back into a radish and held onto her leg.

Shen Ying pondered for a while, then she turned and stamped her leg on the lifeless body on the ground to check if he was truly dead. Only after that did she turn to leave. In a flash, she was gone.

This looks like it will be a big project. What a bother.

Five minutes later.

A girl and a radish looked in perplexity at the dense forest in front of them.

“Radish… I thought you said you knew the route?” Where the heck is this place?

“Ji…” He did know the route, but the afterglow in the sky had caused the surrounding scenery to change, what could he do? “Ji ji ji ji ji…”

“Speak the human language.”

“Maybe I should ask… the spirit herbs? They should know this place?” Radish immediately hopped down from her leg and jumped into the grass patch by the side. Before long he returned and reported, “They told me to get lost.” The spirit herbs outside are so unfriendly.

Shen Ying’s mouth twitched, feeling suddenly agitated. If she had known this radish was so unreliable, she would not have arranged for Chef and herself to go on separate missions. Now what to do? This was not like the other time where she had met with a kind little…

Huh?
