Chapter 697 No One Can Stop Her from Going Home!_1
Misty World.
Atop a towering, cloud-piercing mountain, a woman clad in purple Cloud Attire stood at the edge of a cliff, gazing at the black mist that enveloped this world in the distance.
This mountaintop was one of the rare places in this world not shrouded by mist.
At that moment, the woman murmured to herself, "It seems that the restriction is about to be broken. I wonder if I will still be able to see those two disciples I took when I return to that world once more."
Although it looked like the restriction was ending, the process was rather lengthy, perhaps ten years, or maybe a hundred years.
For cultivators with long lifespans, a hundred years might not mean much, but for ordinary people, a hundred years was a lifetime.
There was a difference between immortals and mortals.
If her two disciples couldn't break through to the Heavenly Human Realm within their lifetimes, she feared that by the time the restriction disappeared, she would only find their graves upon her return to that Lower World.
Thinking this, the woman sighed slightly.
When she had first gone to that Lower World, she shouldn't have gotten involved in this cause and effect; she suddenly felt some regret about taking those two disciples as apprentices.
At this time, a man dressed in a white robe, looking like a Daoist immortal, appeared behind the woman.
The man glanced at the distant mist and then said with a smile, "Junior sister, it seems the restriction will soon be completely lifted. Once the prohibition is gone, our Misty Immortal Sect will rise again."
Hearing this, the woman's brows furrowed, and she responded, "Senior brother, have you forgotten how we ended up in this situation?"
Hearing this, the man said carelessly, "We were exiled to this place because we weren't strong enough. That's why we should strive to become stronger. One day, I will lead the Misty Immortal Sect back home and obliterate all those former enemies of ours!"
The woman tried to advise him, "Senior brother, some things you should let go of."
Upon hearing the woman's words, the man snorted coldly and then retorted, "Junior sister, you're still so tender-hearted!"
"Those ants from the Lower World are not worth your sympathy, nothing but trash. It's their honor to become nourishment for our Misty Immortal Sect."
The woman coldly stated, "Senior brother, you've changed. You weren't like this before."
Hearing this, the man chuckled, "People change. When I realized our master saw us merely as targets for Reincarnation, I changed."
"This world is cruel. If I remained as naïve as before, the Misty Immortal Sect would have been annihilated long ago."
"I believe that one day, junior sister, you will understand your senior brother."
At that, the man's figure vanished instantly from the spot.
Only the woman in the purple dress remained standing on the mountaintop.
...
The wild northwest.
On the boundless grasslands, a voluptuous woman stood on a hillside, overlooking the distant Barbarian Army.
The woman had a curvaceous figure and was scantily clad, with only a few pieces of silk covering her. Her fair and flat belly was exposed, and her pale body emitted a strong allure. Although her subordinates knew of her cruelty, they couldn't help but let their eyes wander over her.
Just then, a Barbarian General approached the woman, handing her a stack of white papers, "Goddess, here is intelligence on the recent situation of several major dynasties!"
The woman took the papers, murmuring to herself, "I didn't expect the people of this world to have crafted such fine paper so quickly."
As she flipped through, upon seeing the intelligence recorded on the paper, Mu Yunxi was mildly surprised.
"As expected, it's not far off from what I had anticipated; the North Country does present some difficulty."
"Mysterious weapons..."
"No matter how formidable the weapons, they shouldn't be able to withstand the battle formations."
Just then, the Barbarian General in front of Mu Yunxi spoke, "Goddess, the various tribes on the grasslands have finished assembling. Those who refused to submit have already been subdued by our forces."
"Now that the Barbarian Tribes are unified once more, and all the tribal leaders are willing to heed your word, with just one command from you, we will follow you southward and trample over the major dynasties!"
Hearing this, Mu Yunxi chuckled lightly and then said, "How is the practice of the Cultivation Techniques and battle formations coming along?"
This...
The Barbarian General hesitated for a moment, not continuing.
Mu Yunxi stated, "I would indeed love to lead the troops south immediately, but with your current strength, let alone moving south, you'd probably fail to defeat even the weakest Black Dragon Country."
"Have you forgotten the affair with the Tianqi King so quickly?"
The Barbarian General then said, "The Goddess is right; I was too hasty."
Mu Yunxi continued, "Hurry up with the practice of the battle formations. In five years, we will march south and annihilate Great Jue."
Upon receiving a clear timeline from the Goddess, the Barbarian General was instantly excited and quickly responded, "Yes, Goddess!"
At this, Mu Yunxi's gaze once again turned to the distant Barbarian Army practicing their battle formations, and she couldn't help but think to herself.n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om
She only hoped that the North Country wouldn't become an unpredictable factor.
With that thought, Mu Yunxi's eyes hardened with resolve.
No matter who it was, nothing could stop her from going home!
...
With the help of Xuanyuan Chen, Lu Yi quickly established a firm foothold in Heyang County, and not only that, he even raised a large force.
