"Exalted Goddess, you mean to say that those things came from the lower realm?!"

"Such things actually exist in the lower realm. Even we were almost defeated by their technique. Then other realms..."

One by one, their faces turned pale as they thought about how serious the problem was.

"Exalted Goddess is right. We should seal up that small world," they agreed after awhile. "If Exalted Goddess do not mind, we can offer some help."

"That's right. If we combine our powers, we can give it a shot and seal up that small realm for good. We'll make sure that it will never again see the light of day!"

"We cannot let that thing invade the Three Realms again."

"If we could not fend for ourselves against them, the living creatures in other mortal realms would be wiped out by them for sure!"

"We cannot delay dealing with this matter anymore. Let's take the chance now while we're slightly better to act!"

They got to their feet one by one, their expressions somber. Yet, Lonemoon could not take them seriously. If their faces had not been so swollen, perhaps they would have sounded more persuasive.

Lonemoon scanned the group of people whose faces and noses looked just as swollen and bluish as his. He was shocked that the Celestial Emperors and Skyfiends, who normally minded their own business, would band together like this. What's more, they were offering to help even before Shen Ying made any requests.

Wait! An unbelievable thought slipped into his mind. He took a closer look at the group. Shen Ying was right – she had used a special technique when she beat them up earlier. That was why the invaders of their consciousness left their bodies. It took them a full hour before they regained their consciousness, and that was because Yi Qing had tried his best to drag them back to reality. At the same time, however, their wounds could not be healed using sorcery. Instead, all they could do was wait as they recovered naturally.

Could it be that they were so excited because... they did not want to go back to their respective territories with their faces looking this swollen? Was that the reason they were offering to help?

They were afraid of being embarrassed – that must be it!

"..." Lonemoon pursed his lips, causing a sharp pain to spread across his face once again. He rubbed his face. Why did he suddenly empathize with them? Why did Shen Ying specifically target all of their faces?

He turned to glance at Shen Ying. "What do you think?"

Shen Ying lowered her gaze as something flashed across her eyes. A moment later, she nodded. "Alright, go ahead!"

"Thank you all." Lonemoon nodded at the group.

One by one, the people in the group cupped their fists and moved to conjure seals.

"Wait," Lonemoon suddenly called out. He turned to face Yu Hong. Perhaps it was because she was a body cultivator. Her wounds looked the lightest out of them all. There were only a few patches of blue-green on her face, which did not even look swollen. "Yu Hong, bring everyone to Lan Hua to retrieve a few pills. We cannot help with their superficial wounds, but we can at least help with their internal injuries."

"Yes, Elder!" Yu Hong turned and led the group out.

They did not stand on ceremony. Afterall, the battle had caused them to deplete most of the pills they had on hand. It was true that they did not have many left. Therefore, they followed behind Yu Hong. One by one, they set up isolation arrays around themselves, so that the cultivators they met on the way would not be able to recognize them for who they were. However, their sorcery could only work on those lower-level cultivators. As for whether Lan Hua would poke fun at them upon seeing their faces, Lonemoon could not be sure. He guessed that Lan Hua would be laughing for at least a year.
