"Is there something you need to specifically remind me of?"

Upon hearing Master Lei Xia's words, Ji Haoyuan's heart slightly tensed.

He knew that since Master Lei Xia had called him here alone and displayed such solemnity, what she was about to say must be extraordinary.

Indeed.

Master Lei Xia nodded and said, "That's right, currently the Demonstration Sect and the True Words Sect have already had multiple conflicts.

If it weren't for the ongoing war between the two races of humans and demons, it's very likely that a full-scale war would break out between our sect and the True Words Sect."

"What?"

Upon hearing this news, Ji Haoyuan was visibly surprised.

He didn't expect that such events would occur between the two major Nascent Soul sects, the Demonstration Sect and the True Words Sect.

Surely it couldn't be because of his past actions that led to such a situation between the sects?

Ji Haoyuan didn't believe that he, a mere Golden Core cultivator, could have such an impact in front of Nascent Soul sects.

And indeed, that was the case.

Master Lei Xia continued, "To be honest, the relationship between our sect and the True Words Sect has long been hostile.

Nascent Soul True Monarchs from both sides have clashed multiple times in the past.

If it weren't so, the True Monarch Bihai from the True Words Sect wouldn't have dared to take action against you, the Honored Guest Elder of our sect, when our True Monarch was absent."

Of course.

If the True Words Sect dares to strike first, our Demonstration Sect won't hesitate to retaliate.

In the past few years.

Both openly and in secret, four or five Golden Core cultivators have fallen under the schemes of our Demonstration Sect.

Including Master Bi Chenzi, who died at your hands.

Master Lei Xia's words once again made Ji Haoyuan startled.

Over the years, the True Words Sect had lost four or five Golden Core cultivators secretly; if Master Bi Chenzi and Huanzhen, the earliest ones, were included, wouldn't the number be...?

Thinking of this, Ji Haoyuan's expression became solemn.

He knew that at this point, dwelling on right or wrong was meaningless.

There would inevitably be a battle between the two sects in the future.

As if seeing through Ji Haoyuan's thoughts, Master Lei Xia nodded affirmatively:

"Junior Brother Ji, you've thought correctly; once this war between humans and demons ends, it likely won't be long before a full-scale war erupts between our sect and the True Words Sect.

So...

My advice is, after you leave East Mountain Pass this time, it's best not to return to your family's Heaven-Piercing Valley but head directly to our Demonstration Sect."

"Don't return to Heaven-Piercing Valley, go directly to the Demonstration Sect?"

Ji Haoyuan was stunned.

"That's right." Master Lei Xia nodded.

Her expression turned serious as she spoke again:

"You might not know, but the people from the True Words Sect, using your earlier words, always act without virtue.

They frequently take advantage of the weak."

The implication was that Ji Haoyuan could likely be attacked by Nascent Soul True Monarchs on his way home.

This was a thought Ji Haoyuan had not considered before.

Logically, whether in the Wu Country, Yue Country, Heaven-Piercing Valley, or even Hongduan Mountain Range, they all fall under the influence of the Demonstration Sect.

The Nascent Soul True Monarch from the True Words Sect should not be so reckless as to visit personally.

Moreover, for a prestigious Nascent Soul True Monarch to attack him, a mere Golden Core cultivator.

Isn't that overestimating him?

"Junior Brother Ji, don't underestimate yourself.

Master Lei Xia showed a bitter smile.

"Two years ago, your battle on the eastern defense line was known by many.

Plus, you killed Master Bi Chenzi in a direct confrontation.

This shows that your strength and courage in facing challenges are already top-notch.

To be blunt.

Your name is likely on the True Words Sect's list of targets."

Unless you one day advance to Nascent Soul, I personally estimate their intent to kill you will not vanish."

With these words, Ji Haoyuan's face turned gloomy.

No one would feel good being targeted by such a Nascent Soul sect as the True Words Sect.

And from a sect that acts without virtue.

That only made the danger more palpable.

Fortunately, he was backed by the Nascent Soul sect, the Demonstration Sect.

Otherwise, unless he decided to hide and not show up again.

Once the Nascent Soul True Monarch moved, crushing him would be like crushing a larger ant.

Suddenly, Ji Haoyuan seemed to think of something and asked Master Lei Xia:

"Senior Sister, since the True Words Sect acts without virtue, will their Nascent Soul True Monarch attack my family's Heaven-Piercing Valley?

Or will they directly target you here?"

"You don't need to worry about this right now."

Master Lei Xia shook her head.

"During this time of war between humans and demons, no one can strike the regions involved in the war.

Anyone who dares to violate this will become the enemy of all cultivators in the Southern Wilderness Realm.

Then, even if he is a Nascent Soul True Monarch, there won't be a place for him in the Southern Wilderness Realm.

Moreover..."

Pausing slightly, Master Lei Xia continued:

"Even after the war ends, you need not worry too much.

Though the True Words Sect acts without virtue.

Such actions against cultivators' families wouldn't be easy unless you die.

They wouldn't lightly resort to such methods.

After all, they aren't the only ones capable of such acts.

If they provoke us enough, retaliating in the same way against their families might be unbearable for them."

Master Lei Xia's words were true, but Ji Haoyuan still felt a sense of urgency and pressure.

He realized he needed to accelerate his cultivation and increase his strength.

Thinking about this, Ji Haoyuan promptly said to Master Lei Xia:

"Following your advice, Senior Sister, I won't return to Heaven-Piercing Valley but will go directly to the sect."

Ji Haoyuan, too, realized that returning to Heaven-Piercing Valley in the current situation was not a wise choice.

If the Nascent Soul True Monarch of the True Words Sect really intends to attack him on his return journey.

Going to Heaven-Piercing Valley might bring danger to his family.

Conversely, heading to the Demonstration Sect would be the safest and most prudent move.

As they say, life is unpredictable.

Nothing is absolute and unchanging.

Being flexible and adaptable is necessary when the situation calls for it.

With this in mind, Ji Haoyuan prepared to set off, making some arrangements.

But suddenly, Master Lei Xia stopped him.

"Junior Brother, wait a moment!"
