In fact, if they already went there, he’d love to get a few more reinforcements but he didn’t dare to bring this up. The Jian Chu Sect had already lost the most disciples in the fight just now. It would be insensitive if only their people came here to support them while everyone else stayed back. If they dared to ask for that, the relationship of the four great sects which had always been difficult would fracture and make any further resistance against the demonic faction only more difficult.

Unfortunately, he didn’t know how to contact the other sects, unless Luo Lin and Shen Lei traveled there as well but that would only cause other issues like exposing Luo Lin’s ability. And even if it didn’t … would he even be believed at this point in time? It was tough to say. So in the end, it seemed that getting more reinforcements was hopeless.

Luo Lin looked at his first senior martial brother’s solemn expression and nodded. “Of course, we can go there. Even though he had never gone to the part of the Jian Chu Sect where Blue Butterfly was, it shouldn’t be that difficult to find. In the worst case, they’d search for a while but they could move instantly so they should make it back before the demonic faction came to challenge them again. After all, they would likely only move out after they realized that the team that attacked just now hadn’t made it out of the underground palace alive. Of course, they could never be sure of that so time was of the essence.

“I’ll get Shen Lei and go over immediately. Is there anything else you need?” Leaving at this point wasn’t easy with so many people around so if there were other things to do, it would be best to take care of them now.

Zhi Guan hesitated. “Reinforcements would be good but … going to all the sects and being believed should be difficult unless we ask the Elders for help. If we do, your ability won’t be a secret anymore though.”

Luo Lin sighed. After knowing about what had happened to the four guardians, he really didn’t want to expose his ability unless absolutely necessary but … “It seems it’s necessary. Anyway, we can go to the Teng Yong Sect at the very least. I just don’t know if they’d make it in time.”

Zhi Guan shook his head. “It’s impossible to tell at this point in time. It all depends on when they attack next and whether our plan works. Still, I’d rather try. At the very least, even if all of us are gone, there’d be someone close to stop them if they move further to the east.”

Luo Lin nodded. “Then we’ll go and try. Maybe Senior Blue Butterfly has some additional ideas.” Even though he had met all the guardians and learned from them, they weren’t that familiar. Still, he was certain that all of them had good personalities or at least wouldn’t hold back when it came to saving the cultivation world and the mortal world behind it.

Zhi Guan hummed and looked around, spotting Shen Lei with a group of older disciples not far away. “I don’t have anything else to do so I’ll follow.” Maybe he could take over whatever Shen Lei had been supposed to do.

Luo Lin quietly followed him and blinked his eyes at his fiance.

Shen Lei had naturally noticed them approach. His gaze stayed on Luo Lin and he couldn’t help but smile. Glancing toward the side of the hall, it seemed that his little fairy had been successful in helping the younger disciples pull themselves together. This was good.

He took a step toward them and directly pulled Luo Lin into his arms, kissing his forehead. It had only been a few minutes but he wasn’t used to being apart any longer. In the past, he had often gone on missions without Luo Lin, telling him to wait for him. Even though he had also missed him at that time, it wasn’t the same as it was now. After the few weeks here in the border region, he seemed to have gotten used to being with his fiance every moment of the day. Being apart for even the shortest amount of time was torturous.

For a moment, he couldn’t help but wonder if this was also tied to Luo Lin’s ability. When his fiance arrived here, the first thing he did was to heal him, basically bringing him back from the brink of death. Had that simply added a halo to the person he already loved or … was the bond between them stronger due to that situation and the fact that Luo Lin’s ability only worked together with him? Either way, things seemed different now but not in a bad way. If he never left Luo Lin’s side in this life, he certainly wouldn’t complain.

Some of the other disciples Shen Lei had spoken to were from the Teng Yong Sect as well. Seeing the famous couple embracing and kissing again, they could only smile wryly. Many of the disciples in the sect didn’t have a significant other but even those who did were never this clingy. Still, at such a moment when life and death in the upcoming days were uncertain, such a direct and open love was also enviable.

Zhi Guan also glanced at the couple and then walked up to the others, taking up the spot Shen Lei had just left. “Let’s leave them some time with each other if possible. I can help out instead. What were you talking about just now?”

The disciples’ attention was successfully diverted from the couple and they hurriedly got Zhi Guan up to date.

Meanwhile, Luo Lin pulled his fiance away, telling him about Zhi Guan’s request before the two of them ducked into another room and then stepped into the dreamscape. Anyway, as usual these days, there was no time to lose.
