Chapter 187 The Situation Deteriorates

After Cen Zhu successfully entered the mid-stage of Core Formation, she spent several more years stabilizing her realm. By the time she truly left the

scroll, a day had passed in the mortal world.

Although she knew that Li Shuyi and the others wouldn't have time to bother her again anytime soon, she still hurriedly transformed back into Lin Xue's appearance and rushed to the Earth Fire Hall. 　　When she stepped into the hall, she saw many cultivators gathered there, as if something important had happened again. 　　She quietly asked a Foundation Establishment cultivator beside her, who respectfully replied, "Reporting to Martial Uncle, I heard yesterday that more than half of the disciples sent out have been killed or wounded. Therefore, elite disciples from various sects need to be dispatched to join the patrol and monster-hunting teams ." 　　Cen Zhu was shocked. In just one day, the situation had changed so drastically? When the Lingyin Sect hunted monsters , they usually sent out outer disciples and ordinary disciples first. Now, even elite disciples had to be dispatched, which showed how dire the situation was. 　　As Cen Zhu pondered, she secretly hoped to use this opportunity to go out and bring the three of them into the scroll. Being separated like this left her with a lingering sense of unease, making her uneasy. 　　Cen Zhu asked softly, "So today you're summoning all the disciples to prepare for support?" 　　The Foundation Establishment cultivator nodded, "Most likely. After all, all the peaks and halls have to send disciples to provide support, and I imagine the Earth Fire Hall will be no exception." 　　Cen Zhu thanked him softly and began to think. 　　Frankly speaking, with her top-ranking position in weapon crafting, if she didn't actively request it, the elders probably wouldn't have chosen her for support. But if she didn't seize this opportunity, how could she possibly get another chance? 　　As they pondered, Elder Chen, one of the three elders of the Earth Fire Hall, stepped forward. His expression was solemn, his gaze sharp. He surveyed the disciples below and proclaimed, "I believe most of you understand why I have summoned you here. Indeed, the recent rampage involving demonic beasts has claimed the lives of many disciples, including even Core Formation cultivators, demonstrating the devastating harm they cause." He paused deliberately, his shrewd eyes sweeping over , before continuing slowly, "The battle is fierce, needless to say. Now, I would like to ask: in such a perilous situation, who is willing to volunteer for the patrol?" 　　The hundreds of cultivators present exchanged glances, none daring to answer or make a move. 　　After all, in a rampage involving demonic beasts that had even claimed Core Formation cultivators, who would be so bold as to risk their lives to volunteer ? Cultivators pursue longevity, and therefore often cherish life more than mortals; the kind of camaraderie among mortals is rarely seen among cultivators. 　　Cen Zhu looked left and right, seeing that no one was willing to join, she gritted her teeth and said loudly, "Elder, I am willing to go." 　　To be honest, if it weren't for Xuan Yuanche and the others being outside the mountain gate today, and Cen Zhu needing to find an opportunity to meet the three of them, she would never have joined the patrol for the sake of sect honor. 　　Elder Chen was both surprised and delighted. Among the hundred people present, the only one who had signed up was a Core Formation female cultivator. He remembered this female cultivator; she was the first place winner in the sect's weapon-refining competition and also his master's newly accepted female disciple. If the situation hadn't been so urgent, he would certainly not have wanted to send someone with such exceptional weapon-refining talent to patrol the mountain gate, and the sect would definitely not have agreed either. 　　But the situation had been too critical. Not to mention himself, as an elder of the Earth Fire Hall, if the chaos of the demon beasts had worsened , even the three elders or Nascent Soul Dao Lords would probably have had to go out to fight. 　　He nodded and smiled with satisfaction, then continued, "Junior Sister Lin is truly wise and brave. Is there anyone else willing to go?" 　　After a long while, no one responded. 　　Elder Chen, his face showing displeasure, said in a deep voice, "Do you intend for the other halls to laugh at my Earth Fire Hall for having no one to send? Only a female cultivator to provide support?" 　　A tall, sturdy Foundation Establishment cultivator scanned the surroundings and shouted, "This disciple is willing to go." 　　Elder Chen stroked his beard and sighed softly, "Chen Ming, the battle this time is fierce. Disciples below the mid-Foundation Establishment stage need not go." 　　Chen Ming was Elder Chen's blood disciple, and for both public and private reasons, Elder Chen did not want Chen Ming to go and die. The demonic beasts that came to cause trouble this time were too powerful; even fifth and sixth-tier demonic beasts were not uncommon. 　　If a Foundation Establishment disciple encountered a fifth or sixth-tier demonic beast during patrol, they would only be destined to die. It would be better to leave more Foundation Establishment disciples for the sect. 　　Elder Chen said helplessly, "Since no more disciples have volunteered, I will have to assign disciples to go. Fang Er and Ding Long, you two will go with Junior Sister Lin." 　　Fang Er and Ding Long, whose names were called, felt a chill in their hearts and could only reply, "Yes." The two were in the late Foundation Establishment stage, naturally stronger than Chen Ming, who was in the early Foundation Establishment stage. However, they still harbored resentment. Why was Elder Chen blocking Chen Ming's volunteering? It was clearly out of reluctance to send his own blood-related descendants to their deaths. Why should they, cultivators without relatives or support in the Lingyin Sect, participate in this patrol where they could die at any moment? 　　Although they were angry, they dared not show it, after all, Elder Chen was the head disciple of Yan Chi Daojun of the Earth Fire Hall , and the highest-ranking of the three elders. 　　As for the other cultivators present who hadn't been called, they all felt a great sense of relief. 　　Elder Chen glanced at Fang Er and the others, thinking, "This time, the Earth Fire Hall has added three cultivators: one Core Formation cultivator and two Foundation Establishment cultivators. Hopefully, they won't be looked down upon by the other peaks and halls." 　　Elder Chen said to the disciples below the platform, "You may all disperse. Junior Sister Lin, Fang Er, and Ding Long, come ." 　　Elder Chen led the three to a cultivation room below the Earth Fire Hall, briefly explained their patrol duties and the time and and then let them leave. 　　Early the next morning, before the appointed time, Cen Zhu flew to the back gate on her sword. 　　When she disembarked, she found more than ten cultivators already gathered there. Two of them were in the early Core Formation stage, and the rest were in the Foundation Establishment stage. 　　She nodded slightly to the two Core Formation cultivators and calmly waited. 　　After only a short while, more than ten cultivators arrived, the highest-ranking among them being a late Core Formation cultivator dressed in blue. 　　As soon as he landed, he announced loudly, "Fellow disciples, I am Ye Tianyi, the person in charge of this patrol. This patrol is divided into two groups, one led by me and the other by Zhao Meng." 　　Cen Zhu saw a tall, thin cultivator in blue robes nod to the group upon hearing the name Zhao Meng. 　　The twenty-four cultivators efficiently divided into two groups of twelve each.

After quickly dividing into two groups, Ye Tianyi and Zhao Meng each led one group to patrol

eastward , while the other patrolled westward.

Zhao Meng bowed to Ye Tianyi and smiled, "I hope we can meet up smoothly."

Cen Zhu watched as the two skillfully divided the teams, assigned tasks, and left. She secretly admired them, thinking,

"These two seem to be seasoned veterans; they've probably patrolled the gate several times already." This situation brought Cen Zhu mixed feelings.

She was pleased that with such experienced cultivators leading the way, the chances of survival on this patrol would greatly increase. However, she

was also worried that if this was the case, wouldn't she be unable to find a good opportunity to sneak off to Qixian City to find Xuan Yuanche and the others?
