Chapter 364 The Flute and the Old Qin: Lingering Echoes (8)
After exchanging a few words in a very short time, Wei Wuxian and Nie Huaisang then looked away as if nothing had happened.
Just then, everyone had composed themselves, and without Wei Wuxian needing to say anything more, they were all well aware of the situation they were facing.
Since the Great Calamity of Resentment descended, the entire world, except for the surviving area of "Liqi," has become a paradise for resentment and evil spirits.
Although three years ago, thanks to the brave and fearless efforts of batches of cultivators who were willing to sacrifice themselves and went one after another, and the successful activation of the "All Things Grow" magic array that spanned the nine major ley lines of the world, the resentment, fierce corpses and evil spirits in the occupied areas (except for the Yiling Burial Mound) were all swept away.
However, the purified fallen areas are also desolate, barren, and off-limits to strangers.
The entire world of the Demonic Path is like an ancient and desolate desert, where "birds have vanished from a thousand mountains and human tracks have disappeared from ten thousand paths," a line from an ancient poem that truly captures its appearance.
The existence of "Liqi" is a unique oasis of life in the vast yellow sand!
Although the reality was not good, the threat of resentment and evil spirits disappeared. Under the guidance of Wei Wuxian and others, the surviving people could slowly develop and steadily restore the world's vitality.
However, a potential problem has arisen.
That is, the extremely tragic battle three years ago did not completely resolve the source of the world's initial turmoil—the mass grave at Yiling!
The purification and suppression power of "All Things Grow" ultimately stopped at the hill where the original Demon-Subduing Cave was located, and it never ventured into the area beyond that point!
It wasn't that Wei Wuxian and the others who controlled the formation didn't want to push deeper, but rather that the actual situation at the time didn't allow them to continue!
Firstly, after a series of intense battles, Wei Wuxian's side had only Lan Qiren, the seventeenth elder of the Lan Clan's outer sect, the third and fifth elders of the Nie Clan, and the transmission elders of four or five second-rate families, as well as a few old rogue cultivators.
There were few survivors from Wei Wuxian's generation, barely over a hundred, and the next generation suffered even greater losses.
To put it bluntly, there are not many people left who are top-tier experts capable of handling any situation.
On the other hand, they need to face those ancient corpses and ghosts that have never appeared and are slumbering deep in the mass graves!
Before them stood ancient powerful beings of the Xuanmen sect, who, after their fall, were nourished by the aura of the mass grave for hundreds or thousands of years. Coupled with the extreme amplification from the influx of resentment from all over the world after the great eruption of resentment, their strength was unpredictable, but it was unlikely to be weak.
At the same time, its quantity is also unknown.
Therefore... Wei Wuxian and his group have little chance of winning this battle!
Although they were in dire straits and their impending doom was in sight, none of Wei Wuxian and the others, who were used to fighting and never giving up, were willing to surrender and wait for death.
They were all willing to launch another fierce and desperate resistance under the leadership of Wei Wuxian and others!
That way, even if the world is destroyed in the end, at least they were heroic and selfless, sacrificing themselves to save the world, instead of crying and cowardly waiting for death to come!
Seeing that everyone shared the same belief, Wei Wuxian stopped hesitating and decisively followed his long-held idea, assigning each person the most suitable task according to their individual circumstances.
Although there were some details that the people assigned to the task did not understand, no one questioned them. They carefully and meticulously memorized their tasks, trying to remember everything clearly and not miss any details!
After everyone had memorized the information and confirmed that there were no mistakes, they took the initiative to divide into several groups according to their tasks. They then followed Lan Xichen, Nie Huaisang, and the others back to the camp to collect supplies and equipment before heading to their respective front lines!
The scene abruptly shifts to five days later, the time when Wei Wuxian and the others' second incarnations perished one after another!
