Ding Ye's bravery inspires the soldiers of the Great Yan Kingdom to fight back against the Ghost Servant Sect's threat. As the Qingyuan City Patrol Bureau Chief Miao Yun Lake pulls Lin Xuankong away, Lin Xuankong observes Ding Ye's courage and considers taking him as a disciple. Meanwhile, leaders from the Blood Cloud Sect and Ancestral Soul Sect arrive, joined by elites from other Immortal Sects, all gathering to witness the confrontation.

At this moment, Liang Butong had already sent people to push all the Great Yan Kingdom officers and soldiers gathered in the central area of the camp back several hundred meters.

Those Great Yan Kingdom officers and soldiers who had been wildly firing into the sky saw that so many of their own Great Yan Kingdom Immortal Venerables had now appeared, ready to stand in for them and confront the Ai Race’s Ghost Servant Sect Demons, and naturally grew incomparably excited. Though these Great Yan Kingdom officers and soldiers had withdrawn to the distance, not a single one of them left! Very obviously, the earlier legend of the "Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable" sweeping across the Immortal Venerables of several nations had given these Great Yan Kingdom officers and soldiers immense courage, and also tremendous confidence in their own Great Yan Kingdom Immortal Venerables!

Ding Ye, Liang Yucheng, Wei Hong, Hong Futian, Huang Jiu and the others had withdrawn to the area under the jurisdiction of the Qingyuan City Inspection Bureau, overseen by Miao Yun Lake.

Seeing Miao Yun Lake, Liang Yucheng—who had always harbored some feelings for the Miao Family’s Third Miss, Miao Wan’er—naturally came over first to greet her.

Ding Ye first stared excitedly for a while at the Cultivators of the Blood Cloud Sect and the Ancestral Soul Sect, then turned back to glance at Lin Xuankong, and next spoke with some confusion:

"Brother Lin, you still look so calm and unruffled, truly a fine Heart Nature—you’re actually neither enraged by the arrival of the Ai Race Demons, nor stirred up by the appearance of so many of our Great Yan Kingdom Immortal Venerables! I wonder, Brother Lin, how do you see this battle between our Great Yan Kingdom’s many Immortal Venerables and the Ai Race Demons?"

Although the many officers had considerable confidence in the Great Yan Kingdom’s Immortal Venerables, that legendary Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable whose name shook the world had yet to appear; as for this battle between the Great Yan Kingdom’s many Immortal Venerables and the Ai Race Demons, who would eventually win and who would lose was still unknown! Hearing Ding Ye question Lin Xuankong like this, all the officers, including Huang Jiu and Miao Yun Lake, turned their heads to look at Lin Xuankong.

Before Lin Xuankong could speak, Miao Yun Lake was already waving her hands repeatedly, saying in a low voice: "Those are all our Great Yan Kingdom’s Immortals; we wouldn’t dare openly discuss them over here! Besides, Lin Qiang is just a young man who doesn’t even count as a proper soldier—Director Ding asking him to judge the situation, how could he possibly make any judgment!"

At the side, Huang Jiu also slightly shook his head and spoke in a low voice:

"By rights, for these Ai Race Demons to dare come make trouble deep in the heartland of our Great Yan Kingdom, randomly seizing our Great Yan Kingdom’s people, they must have made some preparations and all possess extremely astonishing Immortal Techniques! And since our Great Yan Kingdom’s many Immortal Venerables have shown themselves, they must each have their own powerful Immortal Techniques, and will certainly not let these Ai Race Demons act so wildly and arrogantly. So, as for who will win or lose in the end, it’s really hard to say! Still, since we are all subjects of the Great Yan Kingdom, of course we hope our Great Yan Kingdom’s many Immortal Venerables can give these Ai Race Demons a fierce lesson!

It’s just a pity that the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable, who swept the Immortal Venerables of various nations some days ago, has not appeared. If that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable were here, he would surely be like adding wings to a tiger for our Great Yan Kingdom’s Immortal Venerables!"

Hearing this, Ding Ye nodded and sighed: "Yes, it’s a pity that the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable who likes to dress in black and wear a Ghost Face Mask doesn’t seem to be here! If that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable were here and joined forces with our Great Yan Kingdom’s many Immortal Venerables, I fear these Ai Race Demons might not even dare act so arrogant! The problem is that the Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable isn’t here, and since the Ai Race Demons came prepared and still dare come swaggering in like this, they might have some earth-shattering methods! Moreover, the Immortal Venerables of the other few nations all seem to be eyeing the situation like tigers watching their prey; things are rather complicated... Brother Lin, what do you think?"

Huang Jiu and Ding Ye kept lamenting here that it would be wonderful if that Profound Void Great Immortal Venerable were present...

Hearing the two of them talk like this, Lin Xuankong couldn’t help feeling speechless... You two praising me to my face like this—does that really seem appropriate?

After a few seconds of silence, seeing that the many Ai Race Demons in the sky were about to descend to the ground, he spoke in a low voice:

"Director Ding, if you ask for my judgment, no matter how arrogant and powerful these Ai Race Demons may be, in the end they are still Demon Dao beasts that slaughter living beings and disregard human ethics! As the saying goes, evil does not triumph over good; if the Demon grows a foot, the Dao grows a yard. Since these Ai Race Demons are this brutal, and after arriving in the Great Yan Kingdom immediately seized so many of our people, how could they possibly have their way!"

After listening to Lin Xuankong’s words, the many officers present all slightly nodded, indicating their agreement.

Huang Jiu, however, couldn’t help letting out a sigh and said in a low voice: "Evil does not triumph over good? Brother Lin, you’re still thinking of this world as far too simple. The rules by which this world operates are that whoever has the bigger fist, whoever has more guns, that person is reason, that person is the so-called ’righteous path’! Brother Lin, if you stay longer in Kyoto and other prosperous places, and see more of the things in this world, you’ll come to understand this truth!

So, whether it’s the Ai Race Demons who ultimately win this time, or our Great Yan Kingdom Immortal Venerables who prevail, what it will ultimately come down to is whose Immortal Techniques are stronger! Although I also fervently hope that our Great Yan Kingdom’s many Immortal Venerables will win, yet... to make such a conclusion before things are clear is a bit too idealistic and far too sentimental!"

Seeing Huang Jiu speak this way, everyone—whose excitement and expectations had just been stirred by Lin Xuankong’s words—instantly felt somewhat dampened!

Even if these Great Yan Kingdom officers were unwilling to admit what Huang Jiu said, they all understood that this was indeed how the world worked: in the end, it still all depended on who was stronger, on whose fist was bigger and whose fist was harder! As the saying goes, the winner is crowned king and the loser is called a bandit; it has always been so since ancient times!
