Zhao Qiansun was a mid-stage Golden Core cultivator and just an ordinary outer sect disciple in his sect. He was "fortunate" to be selected to join the large army attacking Jinxiu City. However, he was not responsible for fighting but for cooking. His selection was due to his excellent culinary skills, which were highly praised by important figures.

Logically speaking, these cultivators had already reached the stage where they did not need to eat daily. But with the army marching out and the need to drink heavily before battle, how could they go without dishes to accompany their wine? Thus, Zhao Qiansun was summoned.

Zhao Qiansun's name was quite interesting. It was said that his father's surname was Zhao, his mother's surname was Qian, and he had a godfather whose surname was Sun. Thus, not long after his birth when it was time to name him, his father, on a whim, decided on this name for him.

Zhao Qiansun's sect was called the "September Sect," a name that sounded a bit strange. It was said that the founder of the sect was named September.

In the past, the September Sect was a minor sect within the Spirit Realm. Until three hundred years ago, the September Sect was not very large in scale within the Spirit Realm, having only about two to three hundred thousand disciples. For the entire Spirit Realm, it was a mid-to-low-ranked sect.

But something dramatic happened over two hundred years ago!

First, the number of cultivators in the sect who breached into the Primordial Infant realm suddenly increased by several hundred times compared to before!

Following that, geniuses emerged continuously, and in just two hundred years, the sect grew from a virtually unknown small sect into a truly gigantic entity.

Today, the September Sect has over a million inner disciples and over two million outer disciples, a terrifying scale.

Zhao Qiansun was one of those over two million outer disciples, so initially, he was filled with pride and excitement at being selected as part of the army to attack the city.

The usually low-profile Zhao Qiansun, during the preparation period, walked with a bit of a strut, hoping others would look at him with envy.

In fact, everyone who knew him did look at him with eyes full of envy.

Such an opportunity was indeed rare!

A battle that was destined to be an overwhelming victory, with no chance of failure. Going along to cook for important figures, and upon returning, not only would he receive a generous reward from the sect, but he might also catch the eye of some of these VIPs. From then on, his prospects would be immeasurable!

This excellent opportunity was as if a pie had fallen from the sky.

When Zhao Qiansun first arrived at Jinxiu City, seeing the various armies of cultivators attacking Jinxiu City, his heart swelled with excitement. He felt extremely proud to be able to participate in this crucial battle!

As for the resistance from Jinxiu City... Zhao Qiansun had not even considered it!

What a joke! A city that barely made it into the third tier within the Spirit Realm, going up against such numerous powerful forces from the Allied Armies of Cultivators, even just the September Sect alone could easily flatten this city!

Now, almost all of the top sects from the entire Spirit Realm had gathered their forces!

This kind of power... could it fail to take down a small city?

Anyone who would dare to say such a thing would definitely be considered a madman or a fool.

Thus, during his initial days, Zhao Qiansun's heart was filled with inexplicable excitement. Although he never understood why they were attacking the city. Those above had not said, and those below did not dare to ask. And no one spread any rumors.

After arriving here and seeing so many set to attack Jinxiu City, Zhao Qiansun had automatically concocted a reason in his mind.

There must be a great demon threatening the entire Spirit Realm within Jinxiu City!

We were all coming here to subdue the demon!

Otherwise, how could it have stirred the anger of almost all the top sects and clans in the entire Spirit Realm?

Starting from his own sect, the September Sect, the Fire Sect, Dugu Mountain, Zhong Family, Ping Family, Hu Family... all these top sects and clans of the Spirit Realm, had almost all joined in.

These sects and families all had one notable characteristic that few noticed or those who noticed didn't take seriously.

That is, these sects and families had all experienced a significant surge in the last two or three hundred years!

Especially the September Sect, which was previously insignificant, suddenly rose and exploded in growth within the last two or three hundred years, becoming uncontrollably one of the top sects.

The Fire Sect and Dugu Mountain, although they had always stood at the pinnacle of the Spirit Realm throughout millions of years in history as top-tier sects, had also each had their new burst of growth within the last two or three hundred years.

In their own words, it was standing on a profound foundation that sparked a second vigorous vitality!

The Zhong Family, the Ping Family, the Hu Family, and other families were the same, all ancient and truly noble clans that had become more glorious and dazzling in the recent hundreds of years.

Actually, all these sects and families, without exception, had received great benefits from the Blood Demon Ancestor!

In their respective forbidden grounds, there stood statues of the Blood Demon Ancestor!

Under a single command from the Blood Demon Ancestor, they all emerged without fail. Because the Blood Demon Ancestor had promised them that upon the success of this mission, he would grant them even greater rewards!

Zhao Qiansun naturally did not know these things, but that did not prevent him from yearning for a beautiful future.

However, after arriving at Jinxiu City and experiencing three wars, the initial excitement gradually faded.

Seeing some important figures die around him made his heart tremble incessantly.

This was the war of cultivators!

An utterly brutal war!

Once the fighting started, at any moment someone could fall permanently. The lucky ones might have their Primordial Infant survive and flee back, the unlucky ones... were annihilated on the spot.

This left Zhao Qiansun somewhat dazed; he couldn't imagine how a mere Jinxiu City could have such formidable power. Was that terrifying pressure enveloping the whole city truly the legendary dragon's prestige?

And those two cultivators at the pinnacle of the Primordial Infant stage, where had they come from? With strength so formidable that they were almost stepping into the Spirit Refining stage, why did they insist on defending Jinxiu City?

And that giant rooster, what kind of monster was this? He had never heard of such a terrifying creature in the Spirit Realm.

A single rooster, amidst the assault of over a hundred Primordial Infant cultivators, darting left and right, was actually able to severely wound so many powerful cultivators…

All of this made Zhao Qiansun, a minor character, feel: This battle seemed not as easy to fight as he had imagined! Moreover, recently, more and more whisperings made him slightly grasp that this battle was not as righteous as he had thought!

It was indeed… a thorough invasion!

Without any reason or pretext, purely bullying!

How could this be?

Zhao Qiansun was a young man with a strong sense of justice in his heart; he always believed that whether ordinary people or cultivators, their hearts must be filled with the power of justice.

But reality seemed a bit different from what he had imagined. From engaging in righteous demon-slaying to pure bullying… the disparity was quite large.

"Zhao Qiansun!" Suddenly, someone yelled loudly, "The Sect Leader has ordered us to prepare wine and dishes immediately; tonight at midnight, we launch the fourth attack! This time, we must level the entire Jinxiu City!"

Zhao Qiansun responded, then stood there somewhat dazed, murmuring, "The fourth time, huh... to level it?"
