After being reborn, the cannon fodder junior sister quickly left the sect.

Chapter 200 Battlefield of Gods and Demons

Tens of thousands of years ago, the world was divided into three factions: immortals, humans, and demons. Among them, the immortals and demons were the most powerful, while the human faction was the weakest and was never taken seriously by the other two. Driven by self-interest, the immortals and demons constantly clashed, eventually escalating into a massive war with countless deaths and injuries.

The war lasted for decades, with no clear victor, and both sides suffered heavy losses. The demon race's population plummeted by about 70%, while the immortal race suffered slightly fewer casualties, but many immortals' wounds were infected by demonic energy, directly causing a decline in their cultivation levels. The two forces were forced to temporarily cease hostilities, drawing a line across the sea as a boundary, each recuperating and rebuilding in their respective territories. As time passed, the immortal race vanished, leaving only cultivators yearning for ascension, while the demons were forever trapped in the Demon Realm.

As for the ancient battlefield that remained, it had become a completely deserted place. Because too many immortals and demons had died, the remnants of vengeful spirits could often be seen wandering back and forth on that ancient battlefield. Even after tens of thousands of years, at least tens of thousands of vengeful spirits still remained. If someone were to step into this place and accidentally offend a vengeful spirit, then congratulations, soon a vengeful spirit would control an army of skeletons hidden underground to rise up and hunt you down to the ends of the earth.

The land where Su Luo and the others are standing now is the ancient battlefield, and also the final trial of the Cloud Realm.

After hearing Feng Xiyue's explanation, everyone's expressions became more serious than ever before.

Su Luo sighed, "This is troublesome. According to the intelligence we've gathered, to get through this, we either have to fulfill the vengeful spirits' wishes or kill them all. But..."

There are vengeful spirits and an army of skeletons here, numbering in the tens of thousands, while they only have five people and one beast on their side. Even if they kill them, they still can't complete the mission!

Chu Wenqing wiped his face, feeling a pang of sadness. "This is the first time I've started to envy the large number of disciples in other sects."

Who would have thought the final challenge would involve dealing with vengeful spirits and an army of skeletons?!

If only their Lingxiao Sect had as many disciples as other sects! That way, they'd have a huge force on missions, at least a hundred people. What would they be afraid of then? They could take on ten at a time, wage a war of attrition, and crush them!

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs" in this world!

Upon hearing this, neither Feng Xiyue nor Song Qiao refuted it, and a hint of sadness appeared on their faces.

Yes, the Lingxiao Sect is clearly one of the four major sects, but it has far too few disciples! It's so desolate and bleak...

Seeing that the three of them looked dejected and the atmosphere was off, Su Luo quickly changed the subject, "Forget it, it's too late today, everyone, don't think too much about it. Let's find a place to rest first, there'll always be a way. Besides, I just got so many precious books, and I haven't even had a chance to look at them carefully. I want to sit down and take a look as soon as possible."

Upon hearing Su Luo mention the books, Chu Wenqing and the others were instantly distracted, their eyes crinkling with laughter.

"Yes! I just got a lot of really powerful sword manuals, I'll definitely have to take a good look at them later!"

"I also found several precious manuals, which contain alchemy formulas that I've never heard of before!"

"I... I also took some rare copies..."

Lin Ji thought of the book he had taken and smiled at Su Luo without saying a word.

Su Luo suggested, "In that case, let's quickly find a place to rest and read those books."

"Ok!"

The battlefield of gods and demons is filled with steep peaks and deserts. Under the moonlight, it appears extremely desolate. The desert stretches as far as the eye can see, and even the peaks are bare rocks, without a trace of green.

To avoid disturbing the vengeful spirits, the group used breath-holding talismans and moved silently on the ground. After searching for nearly half an hour, they finally found a cave to take shelter in at the foot of a mountain.

The cave was empty and dry, with nothing but rocks inside.

Feeling unsafe, Lin Ji immediately dragged Chu Wenqing to find a boulder to block the cave. Feng Xiyue, along with Song Qiao, carried a bright stone while quickly cleaning and inspecting the cave.

Su Luo then took the opportunity to release Zhu Zhu, who had been sleeping for several days.

As soon as the little guy woke up, he started to whine and cling to her leg. Su Luo chuckled and immediately took out the food that Zhu Zhu loved to eat and let it feast.

Before long, the cave entrance was blocked by a huge rock, the cave was cleaned up, and the cave ceiling became bright because of the scorching demon stones embedded in it.

Zhu Zhu had finished eating and was lazily lying in Song Qiao's arms. During this time, it also had to deal with the occasional disturbances from Chu Wenqing and Feng Xiyue.

As for her master's place, Zhu Zhu dared not approach it, after all, there were still some terrifying creatures guarding it. Sigh, life is tough.

After a quick bite to eat, everyone eagerly began studying the books they had just acquired that day.

Su Luo focused her gaze on the calligraphy brush in her hand, the words of the Book Spirit still echoing in her ears.

What does "she can draw anything she wants to draw" mean? It can't be some kind of magic paintbrush like in the story of Ma Liang, right? I'm not sure, I'll try again tomorrow…

Thinking this, Su Luo put away the brush, but when she turned around, she found that Lin Ji had somehow gotten further and further away from her, and he was clearly reading a book, so why was his face so red?

Su Luo frowned and reached out to touch his forehead. "Lin Ji, why is your face so red? Are you sick?"

Lin Ji's body trembled almost imperceptibly. He quickly put the book into his storage bag while letting Su Luo touch his forehead, replying, "I'm fine, I'm just a little hot..."

"It's good that you're alright. You scared me; I thought you suddenly got sick."

Seeing the blush on Lin Ji's face slowly fade, Su Luo finally relaxed and withdrew her hand. Thinking about Lin Ji's action of putting away the book just now, Su Luo suddenly felt a little curious.

"By the way, Lin Ji, what books did you choose? Are they good? I saw you watching them intently the whole time."

Lin Ji stared intently at Su Luo until she became a little embarrassed, then he smiled.

"It's quite pretty."

Since Su Luo found those blush-inducing, heart-pounding books appealing, he also found them enjoyable. Moreover, he discovered that he could actually learn quite a few good things from them…

Upon hearing this, Su Luo asked a question she would later regret without even thinking.

"Oh, I see. Can I take a look at your book then?"

At that moment, the boy's expression suddenly became strange, and a strange light flickered in his eyes as he looked at her.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Ji chuckled softly, then leaned close to Su Luo's ear and spoke. His hot breath brushed against her ear like a seductive spell from the abyss, low and lingering, yet it sent shivers down her spine.

He said, "I'm sorry, I can't show it to you right now. How about we watch it together another time?"

"it is good……"

Su Luo's ears went weak, and her mind went completely blank, so much so that she didn't even know how she had agreed. Anyway, by the time she came to her senses, Lin Ji had already gone off to read a book.

Su Luo cursed herself for not being able to resist the temptation, then looked away, thought for a moment, and took out her talisman-drawing tools.

To be honest, this secret realm has been incredibly resource-intensive with talismans. By now, she's almost used up all the talismans she drew. However, tomorrow will be another tough battle, and she'll need many, many more talismans!

So she wanted to draw more, and draw even more!

And so, Su Luo focused intently on drawing talismans, gradually drawing more and more, faster and faster, completely immersed in the process, her attention so focused that she didn't even notice that everyone had stopped reading.

Seeing that Su Luo was still drawing talismans, the others did not dare to disturb her. They simply sat to the side and watched her draw talismans quietly, secretly amazed.

Although they already knew that Su Luo was skilled at drawing talismans, what other talisman master could draw a talisman in just a few strokes like writing calligraphy? And one after another, without stopping, and most of these talismans were actually successful!

Such a speed of drawing talismans is truly unheard of and unseen!

What surprised them even more was that Su Luo didn't seem to expend much spiritual energy when drawing talismans.

Half an hour had passed, and Su Luo's spiritual energy was still not depleted; she was still drawing talismans non-stop! She was truly amazing!

Chu Wenqing and the other two were amazed, and their admiration for Su Luo reached an even higher level.

Of the four, only Lin Ji wasn't as dumbfounded as the others. After all, he had already witnessed how powerful Su Luo was at drawing talismans.

However, to be fair, compared to what I saw at Fanjingshan, Su Luo's speed in drawing talismans now seems to be much faster...

Su Luo stopped drawing when she ran out of energy. When she looked up, she was surprised to find that the four people weren't reading, but staring straight at her.

Why are you all staring at me?

Su Luo touched her face, utterly puzzled. "Do I have words on my face?"

"Yes, you really do have two big characters written on your face!"

Su Luo was just joking, but Chu Wenqing actually admitted it, and the others nodded in agreement.

"Huh? There really are words on it?" Su Luo was extremely surprised and subconsciously touched her face.

She doesn't remember having words written on her face. Besides, no one had the opportunity to write on her face!

The thought of walking around with words written on her face without her noticing made Su Luo feel terrible. She quickly covered her face with her hands and asked anxiously.

So... what words are actually written on my face?

The group exchanged glances and answered in unison.

"Brilliant!"

"Great!"

"admire!"

"like!"

After they finished speaking, Su Luo fell silent.

So these guys were just messing with her?!

Chu Wenqing and the other two fell silent, all looking at Lin Ji.

Young man, we all know you like Su Luo, but isn't it a bit unfriendly to single people to say it so directly?

Lin Ji remained silent, only smiling.
