The talismans were thrown.
But Ji Heng had no hope at all. As he cast them, he shouted sharply, "Quick, charge with me and break through!"
Everyone hurriedly drew out their treasures. They were preparing for a final, desperate battle!
Suddenly, their eyes widened, and one by one, they froze in place.
This…
What is happening?
They saw the talisman land among the beast horde, suddenly erupting into sparks. These sparks spread like a plague, instantly creeping across the field.
In no time, all the attacking ferocious beasts had a small flame flickering on their bodies. Though it seems like a long process, it actually happened in an instant.
Once the flames spread to all the beasts, the next moment,
Boom!
A tremendous force erupted from the flames. The shockwave shook the entire grassland.
Ji Heng and the others could not help but tremble slightly.
The next moment, a spectacular scene unfolded.
The beasts were instantly reduced to a rain of blood under the explosion. Hundreds of ferocious beasts, almost all annihilated by this terrifying blast. A few that had opted for stronger defenses barely survived, but they wailed on the ground, completely incapable of fighting.
Ji Heng and the others rushed forward and exterminated the last few remaining beasts.
They looked at the torn limbs and scattered corpses around them, dazed.
All these beasts…
Were they really killed?
By a seemingly ordinary talisman?
This talisman had just destroyed at least a hundred Unity-stage beasts, along with many Divine Transformation and Nascent Soul-stage beasts!
The power of such a talisman could likely only be produced by a true talisman master. Moreover, the materials needed for its creation must be extremely rare.
Yun Jin, inheriting the millennium legacy of Wushuang Sect, possessing such talismans was not surprising. Having many such talismans was also not surprising.
Yet,
She had given it away without hesitation.
Ji Heng gripped the storage pouch, his emotions complicated. He had a premonition. Any team that went outside the city, Yun Jin probably gave each a talisman like this.
One talisman could mean life from the jaws of death.
This time, Yun Jin!
How many people had she really saved?
"How many talismans did Sect Master Yun give out?" someone asked.
He was one of the disciples trapped outside the city, who would have been killed by the beasts if Ji Heng and his companions had not arrived to save them.
Ji Heng briefly explained Yun Jin's actions. They had a sect, teachers, fellow disciples. Yet the one risking everything to save them was Yun Jin. These rescued disciples' hearts were already conflicted, and now even more so.
"Probably over a hundred," Ji Heng said quietly.
Over a hundred of such talismans?!
"Has Sect Master Yun spent all of Wushuang Sect's wealth just to save us?" someone asked, eyes red. He had always thought Yun Jin acted too flamboyantly, provoking jealousy.
Yet, her flamboyance was her own. What harm had it caused them?
Along the way, how many people had Yun Jin saved? Too many to count.
"I always thought Sect Master Yun disliked us," someone murmured, still in disbelief.
Before, Yun Jin had a stellar reputation among mortals and loose cultivators. Everyone knew she was a rare cultivator willing to stand up for them.
And they were all sect disciples.
They assumed
Yun Jin hated them.
But when they fell into desperation, the one who spared no resources to save them was still Yun Jin!
At this moment, they recalled the other Wushuang Sect disciples with immense envy. If she treated outsiders like this, how much more for her own disciples?
At the very least, Wushuang Sect's disciples never had to worry about being abandoned by Yun Jin or the sect. This sense of security was something no other sect could provide.
Ji Heng remained silent for a moment, then said, "There is another silver talisman page in the pouch."
This time, he did not hesitate and immediately used the page.
A formation appeared beneath everyone's feet, and under the talisman page's blessing, they instantly mastered this intricate formation naturally.
Everyone was astonished again.
To instantly allow people to grasp a formation—Wushuang Sect truly possessed treasures like this!
And Yun Jin, once more, selflessly gave them away!
What noble spirit!
"This formation can accommodate up to fifty people," Ji Heng said with a trace of joy on his face. "For now, no beasts will attack here. We will recover first, then go search for others."
"Yes,"
The others replied in unison.
Ji Heng's expression was firm as he said, "Sect Master Yun has sacrificed so much to save us. We must not betray her intention! This time, everyone, follow me. We must rescue all our fellows!"
"Rescue our fellows!"
"Rescue our fellows!"
Everyone roared with determination.
Scenes like this played out everywhere. All were shocked by Yun Jin's grand gesture. They could not help but wonder. If it were them, would they dare to spend such a huge cost to save people unrelated to them?
The answer was!
They would not!
Having cultivated for so long, many had only one thought left in their hearts: to grow stronger. As for saving the world or protecting a region, they had never even considered such things.
When Yun Jin had appeared in Canglan Kingdom, many ridiculed her for being foolish, for not knowing better. Although she eventually won, some still mocked her behind her back, saying her recklessness would one day get her killed.
Yet many who mocked her that day Were now saved by Yun Jin, directly or indirectly. Only at this moment did they truly understand How reassuring Yun Jin's "foolishness" was.
"Truly is Xiao Jin," Lin Ya smiled faintly, slowly drinking from his wine gourd.
In a world of geniuses, his cultivation talent was merely average.
Yet he had a disciple, Yun Jin. Every time he thought of this, Lin Ya felt immense pride.
His disciple's name was Yun Jin!
Such an honor, he would not exchange for even a Mahayana stage.
Outside the city, fierce battles raged on.
In the points battle zone only the top one hundred cultivators remained.
At this moment they were cornered by the beasts, yet still divided into two small groups. The twenty disciples not belonging to Wushuang Sect stood close together, casting cautious glances at Wushuang Sect's side.
Before arriving, they had orders from their sects. They had to unite and try to eliminate Wushuang Sect's disciples. They had succeeded a few times, but mostly failed.
Wushuang Sect's disciples knew of their targeting. Now faced with a crisis, would these schemed-against Wushuang disciples help them?
They dared not even imagine it!
