Chapter 24 : Ancient Battlefield

After a brief period of silence, Tantai Yue spoke.

“The divine weapon is yours to wield, Qin Lu.”

“But you cannot harm people with this divine weapon. You must use it to uphold the righteous path and eliminate the demonic cultivators. Can you manage that?”

For a brief period, Qin Lu was silent. [Wouldn’t the protagonist be better off doing this? I’m not the protaganist. Vice Sect Master, Xiao Yichen should take responsibility!].

The Vice Sect Master’s words, however, caused Ye Qingcheng’s eyes to immediately light up.

Qin Lu was from the demonic sect. If he really follows the righteous path and exterminates the demonic cultivators. Then he will no longer be a member of the Demonic Sect. This is abandoning evil and doing good.

If that’s the case, then she doesn’t have to worry too much when she’s with Qin Lu. [Qin Lu, quickly agree, quickly agree!]. “I assure you, Vice Sect Master. I promise you that I won’t ever again use this divine weapon to do anything that goes against the righteous path.”

“But maintaining the righteous path is a serious matter. For a small character like me, it’s a little much to ask”.

“However, I have no problem killing those demonic cultivators.”

“You’re quite humble. Alright, as long as you don’t do things that go against righteousness.” A smile appeared on Tantai Yue’s face.

“If that’s the case, then thank you, Vice Sect Master.”

“Oh, I just remembered, you’re going to the Ancient Battlefield tomorrow. You are now a member of the Holy Maiden Sect. Go with Qingcheng so you both can reduce the casualties of the sect as much as possible.”

“Yes, Vice Sect Master. If there’s nothing else, I’ll go back first. I’ve just obtained this divine weapon, so I need to get used to it.”

“Sect Leader, I hope that the sect and the elders will keep the matter of me obtaining this divine weapon a secret.”“Once others know that I have such a divine weapon on me, I’m afraid that there would be people who would want to steal it.”

“Moreover, this divine weapon will also become one of my trump cards. If necessary, it might be able to turn unfavorable situations around.”

“You’re quite the scheming little fellow. Alright, we won’t reveal this matter to anyone.”

“Thank you Vice Sect Master. Thank you Elders.”

The ancient battlefield is the remains of the Great Divine-Demonic War.

Many experts had fallen on this battlefield.

Here, not only were there opportunities that cultivators could only dream of, there were also dangers.

The opening of this place would occur every five years.

The Holy Maiden Sect, Heavenly Sword Sect, Weapon Refining Sect, Thousand Puppet Sect, Alchemy Sect, and Buddhist Sect would worked together to open it.

Of course, some second-class sects and aristocratic families would also send their juniors in addition to the followers of the six great sects.

The members of the other sects had already arrived at the entrance to the former battleground when the Holy Maiden Sect showed up.

There had been visitors from the Buddhist Sect, the Sky Sword Sect, the Weapon Refining Sect, the Thousand Puppet Sect, and the Alchemy Sect.

The members of the Heaven’s Sword Sect all wore clothing of the same color and each carried a long sword on their back, giving them a dashing appearance.

All members of the Weapon Refining Sect were dressed in armor, which is very appropriate for their sect’s style.

Even though the members of the Thousand Puppet Sect were dressed normally, they exuded an unusual type of Yin Yang Ghost Qi.

There was nothing special about the people of the Alchemy Sect. They were just like ordinary people.

The Buddhists were dressed in monk robes. The most obvious thing was that each of them had a shiny egg on their heads. When the sun shone on it, it could reflect light, making it look like a mirror.

White robes of the Holy Maiden Sect members billowed in the breeze, casting a heavenly halo around them. Men and women were present, but women made up 70% of the group.

The Holy Maiden Sect’s white robes fluttered in the wind, giving off a celestial aura. Although there were both men and women, 70% of them were women.In particular, Ye Qingcheng, who was the leader, was even more dazzling.

As soon as she appeared, everyone’s gaze turned to her.

Even the Buddhist disciples showed some signs of instability in their Buddhist hearts.

Ye Qingcheng was positioned next to Qin Lu. Although he was attractive, nobody else knew who he was besides the members of the Holy Maiden Sect.

But a few girls looked at him with interest.

After arriving at the scene, Qin Lu quickly noticed another figure after scanning the area with his keen eyes.

Oh, Xiao Yichen!

After not seeing him for three days, Xiao Yichen’s strength seemed to have improved a lot. He was indeed the protagonist!

Together, they exchanged glances.

Xiao Yichen was defeated at the Holy Maiden Sect three days prior, but he was not convinced of his defeat.

This time, after entering the ancient battlefield, he had to find an opportunity to regain his face.

Xiao Yichen’s expression changed drastically as she noticed Qin Lu standing next to Ye Qingcheng.

Although the Xiao family did not belong to the other sects, the Xiao family was a big family.

This time, the Xiao family had also sent 60 young juniors to prepare to enter the ancient battlefield. This number was close to the number of the six big sects present.

The Sky Sword Sect, the Holy Maiden Sect, the Weapon Refining Sect, the Thousand Puppet Sect, the Alchemy Sect, and the Buddhist Sect each sent out a late-stage Nascent Soul Realm elder. The six of them worked together to open the gap in the boundary of the ancient battlefield.

Figures rushed inside one by one.

At the Holy Maiden Sect, Ye Qingcheng and Qin Lu looked at each other and then rushed in with the disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect.

At the same time as Qin Lu and the rest of the righteous sects entered the boundary, at another entrance of the ancient battlefield.

Ji Qing, the head of a branch of the Demonic Sect, also entered the ancient battlefield with 300 strong cultivators of the Demonic Sect.

A battle between the righteous and the demonic cultivators would start soon.

After entering the ancient battlefield, Qin Lu was surprised to find that Ye Qingcheng and the disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect were all missing. They must have been separated.

There were many people entering the ancient battlefield this time. He had promised the Vice Sect Master to bring the disciples of the Holy Maiden Sect back. He did not want anything to happen to them.

However, just as he was thinking about this, a piercing scream attracted his attention.
