Xiang Chen nodded at the words and directly led Shen Wuque and Liang Sheng to the other side before the banquet finally began.

Everyone was prepared to let go of a decade’s worth of hardships today, and for a short while, they seemed surprisingly unrestrained.

Jin Quanxiu did not stop them at this time, after all, it was good to let them relax. However, when the banquet was about to end, Jin Quanxiu suddenly spoke up.

“Chen’er, since you have formed your Core today, I can now rest assured in leaving Green Cloud Peak to you.”

“All? Master, what do you mean by that?”

As soon as Jin Quanxiu uttered these words, everyone sobered up from their drunken state, and Xiang Chen looked completely astonished, even somewhat terrified, for he was utterly unprepared for this.

Jin Quanxiu did not beat around the bush and his face was also not looking good. “I am not here to dampen everyone’s spirits, but the situation at the beast tide front lines is not right, and the other Sects have already requested our participation in the war.”

“All? How could this be?”

This news was akin to a thunderbolt from a clear sky, and no one had expected that the situation in the beast tide battlefield had deteriorated to such an extent.

However, Jin Quanxiu did not stop there but continued, “I was hesitant before, whether our Green Cloud Peak could hold out for a few more years.

But now that Xiang Chen has achieved the Golden Core, I can rest assured in handing Green Cloud Peak over to him. So today, I am telling you that I will be taking one-third of the Foundation Establishment Disciples to reinforce the beast tide battlefield.”

Then Jin Quanxiu directly read out the names of the disciples he would take with him, and for a short while, the entire Cave Mansion was completely silent.

The Foundation Establishment Disciples whose names were called turned pale, but even those whose names were not called felt as if they were in the same boat.

For if the beast tide situation continued to worsen, they would not be able to escape it either; it was just a matter of time, and everyone was now in the same boat.

“Those of you who will be participating in the war should not be too troubled; 1 have actually arranged everything based on your ages and Cultivation levels.

Since you have all lived for so long, you must naturally understand this principle. Those with abundant blessings can stay behind for the time being, while those with lesser blessings cannot blame anyone else.”

Upon hearing these words, everyone fell silent for a while, and the disciples who were named to deploy at the beast tide battlefield stood up, their faces already back to normal.

“We will obey the Peak Master’s command.”

Seeing this, Jin Quanxiu couldn’t help but nod; these disciples of his did not disappoint him.

“Alright, now that you have accepted the news, it’s time for you to prepare yourselves.

In a few days, 1 will lead you out. Remember to prepare more elixirs, and if you still have points, you can exchange talismans and magical weapons with the Internal Affairs Office.”

At this point, Jin Quanxiu paused before adding in a low voice, “No matter what, I hope to bring all of you back safely.”

For a short while, the joy of Xiang Chen’s breakthrough into the Golden Core Realm vanished, leaving behind only a lingering sense of parting.

“Take care!”

“We’ll see you when I return in triumph!”

“Don’t worry, it’ll be alright.”

For a short while, the sounds of farewells filled the air. Shen Wuque and Liang Sheng were not on the list to be sent out, but they had no mood left to talk and laugh with Xiang Chen.

After those disciples left, they said goodbye to Xiang Chen and returned to their own Cave Mansions.

On the way back, Liang Sheng still hadn’t settled his emotions of helplessness, so he pondered for a moment, picked up the Communication Jade Slip and sent a message before directly changing direction. In no time, he arrived at Xiao Qin’s Cave Mansion.

At this moment, Pei Tianshi was also present. Both of them looked at Liang Sheng with some doubt. “Junior brother, you asked us to wait here in your message. Is there anything important?”

Liang Sheng entered the Cave Mansion and without saying a second word, directly took out several hundred attack and defense talismans and a hundred bottles of elixirs from his Storage Bag.

“Senior Brothers, there isn’t much else 1 can do to help you this time. These are the only protective items 1 have on me; I hope they can be of help to you, and I hope you won’t disdain them.”

“Junior brother.”

Seeing the items filling the floor, Xiao Qin and Pei Tianshi were stunned for a while before it finally sunk in and their eyes reddened.

It turned out that their junior brother had always remembered them. Those words he had said in front of Chen Xiang all those years ago were never forgotten and had been kept in his heart ever since.

At this realization, Xiao Qin and Pei Tianshi did not decline, but directly put the items away into their Storage Bags and finally smiled.

“Thank you, junior brother, for your generous gifts. We won’t refuse them. We will definitely return alive and have a good drink with you then.”

“Indeed.”

As the words fell, the three looked at each other, a strong sense of parting filling the air. Liang Sheng did not know what else to say, for everything was left unspoken.

Afterward, Liang Sheng felt that lingering in this atmosphere was not good, so he did not stay long and directly bade his farewell to leave. All he could do now was hope that they would return safely.

Three days later, Xiao Qin and other Foundation Establishment Disciples followed Jin Quanxiu to leave. The main peaks also naturally set out with them to support the beast tide battlefield.

From then on, Green Cloud Peak was temporarily managed by True Person Xiang Chen, and Liang Sheng’s life became peaceful again, but he already felt an increasing sense of urgency in his heart.

A year later, on Green Cloud Peak, Xiang Chen received several ashes jars from the hands of the Disciples of the Internal Affairs Office with a sorrowful expression.

During this time, the Internal Affairs Office had checked that the Life Tokens of sixty-three Foundation Establishment Disciples had shattered. These were the disciples who had previously set out to participate in the beast tide battlefield, including those from Green Cloud Peak..
