Chapter 1186: Chapter 46: Wherever the Sun and Moon Shine, Wherever the Rivers Flow (Part 2)
And Qingyun Palace is located at the very center of Yumen Pass. It indeed takes some time for Lu Qingshan to get here from Hanguang Courtyard.
Xia Daoyun frowned slightly and nodded slightly, "Let’s go in."
Seeing this, Lu Qingshan’s heart sank involuntarily.
Although Xia Daoyun didn’t show it obviously, with his understanding of Xia Daoyun, he could already tell that Xia Daoyun was in a very gloomy mood at this moment.
It seems that something big indeed happened.
Xia Daoyun waved her hand, and the fog surrounding Qingyun Palace dissipated to both sides, revealing a path.
At the end of the path, two large doors were wide open.
Lu Qingshan followed Xia Daoyun inside, entering the conference hall of Qingyun Palace.
In the conference hall, there were eight mystical chairs made of ancient wood.
Lu Qingshan looked around and saw that five of the mystical chairs were already casually occupied by figures, each of them exuding an indescribable aura between their gaze exchanges.
These were the five Peak Masters of the Sword Sect.
At this time, the five were whispering to each other, and upon seeing Xia Daoyun enter, they nodded and signaled with their eyes.
Then they focused their attention on Lu Qingshan, scrutinizing him carefully.
Regarding this Young Sect Leader appointed by the Qingyun Sword Immortal, who has recently risen to fame and is even highly likely to become the next Sect Master of the Sword Sect, even these characters held some curiosity in their hearts.
"Daoyun, Qingshan, come take your seat when you arrive," the elegant man in green on the central mystical chair said.
In the Sword Sect, the only one who could address Xia Daoyun this way was the Sect Master, Qingyun Sword Immortal Xie Qingyun.
Xia Daoyun did not waste words and sat down in the second last position.
Lu Qingshan naturally chose the seat at the very end.
Now, out of the eight seats in the hall, seven were occupied, leaving only one seat empty.
Lu Qingshan glanced over and immediately understood that the empty seat should belong to the Peak Master of Vastness Peak.
"Gentlemen, the reason I have called you here today is that something big has happened, and even I, for a moment, cannot decide what to do. I need all of you to help figure out a plan,"
Xie Qingyun’s voice was magnificent yet gentle, and as soon as he spoke, the entire hall fell silent.
The Qingyun Sword Immortal waved his hand, and a mist rose, forming a miniature map of the Human Realm in the center of the hall.
Among them were seven massive landmasses of various shapes, separated by vast seas.
The eastern, southern, western, and northern continents surrounded the three central continents.
These were the Central Spirit, Central Heaven, and Central Martial Domains.
Xie Qingyun stared at the cloud map and finally pointed to the cloud representing the Central Spirit Domain, saying, "The Rinsing Spirit Sect was controlled by the Demon Race, cooperating inside and out, and seized Dragon City Pass last night.
They are also conducting dual-line operations at the same time, attacking all cross-domain teleportation arrays within the Central Spirit Domain, intending to isolate the Central Spirit Domain from the other Six Domains, and then devour it slowly."
"The Rinsing Spirit Sect controlled by the Demon Race? Dragon City Pass has already fallen?"
Everyone’s gaze swept over the cloud map and then sharply looked up with pupils contracting upon hearing the Qingyun Sword Immortal’s words.
Everyone’s face showed undisguised shock, and Lu Qingshan was no exception.
"The Central Spirit Domain confronts the Heart Demon Clan, whose methods are unknown.
Even after Qingshan went to the Abyss, the information obtained stated that even the War Demon of the same Holy Demon Clan was unaware of the Heart Demon Clan’s Bloodline Divine Ability."
"The Heart Demon Clan’s mysteriousness is imaginable."
"It is undoubtedly due to the Heart Demon Clan’s deeply hidden Bloodline Divine Ability that the Rinsing Spirit Sect fell under Demon control without us noticing for such a long time."
The elder Sect Master slowly stated, precisely judging the cause of the change in the Rinsing Spirit Sect.
"The Seven Domains of the Human Race share glory and shame; they are like lips and teeth."
In the Sword Sect, right below Xie Qingyun, Yu Canghai, the Peak Master of Canghai Peak, was already sitting upright and said solemnly, "If the Heart Demon Clan really takes the Central Spirit Domain, we Human Race will not only lose one-seventh of our territory, but it would also be like a nail stuck in our abdomen."
"At that time, we would have to worry about the enemy at the front and guard against the Demon Race from the Central Spirit Domain at the back, falling into a predicament of dealing with problems on both fronts."
Peak Master Ning Fengchen of Eternal Peak, third in the Sword Sect, also said seriously, "The Central Spirit Domain must be defended, and Dragon City Pass must be retaken."
Xie Qingyun gave no indication either way, squinting at the cloud map, silent.
"The Demon Race’s strength surpasses ours. Without Dragon City Pass, it means we have to confront them directly without any external support to rely on."
Xia Daoyun took a deep breath, forced down the shock in her heart, and said, "Therefore, to defend the Central Spirit Domain, the other Six Domains must send reinforcements quickly, and...."
She paused, gritting her teeth, "And at least one Town Domain Cultivator from the other six major passes must take action."
The so-called Town Domain Cultivators are the authorities of the six major passes.
At Yumen Pass, the Town Domain Cultivator is the Qingyun Sword Immortal.
These cultivators are only seven throughout the Human Realm, plus the Heavenly River Sword Immortal Chu Mushen from Heavenly River City, which makes it eight.
Of course, now there are only seven left.
Because the Town Domain Cultivator of Dragon City Pass in the Central Spirit Domain, the Azure Dragon Sovereign, has already been confirmed to be of the Demon Race.
"The existence of Town Domain Cultivators and the City-Guarding Divine Formation set by the Ancestral Taoist are the two major cards we rely on to suppress the Demon Race; neither of them can be absent."
"If any Town Domain Cultivator goes to the Central Spirit Domain for support, once the Demons of their domain find out, they would definitely seize the opportunity to invade, which results in robbing Peter to pay Paul."
