Han Yun pondered for a moment and said, "The demon spirits are becoming more and more frequent in their actions, and their methods are becoming more and more ruthless. It seems that we can no longer respond passively. In addition to strengthening the protection of the seal bearers, we also need to take the initiative to find the demon spirits' weaknesses and solve the problem at its root."
Mo Zhenting nodded in agreement: "What the Alliance Leader said is absolutely right. We can't always wait for the demonic spirits to attack; that will only put us on the defensive. We must find the source of the demonic spirits and completely eliminate them."
Everyone knows this is the principle, but we still need to come up with a set of rules.
Mo Bai and Lin Xiaoman recuperated in the alliance, while Rong Jiaojiao and Jun Yuangui were also left at the alliance headquarters.
Three days later, representatives from the three sects, three gates, and three pavilions of the immortal mountain, as well as the five great mystical cultivation families and several smaller families of the mortal world, arrived.
Rong Jiaojiao finally understood what her master meant when he said that the cultivation resources in the mortal world were no worse than those in the immortal mountains, and that they also had unparalleled geniuses.
These cultivators from secular families all possessed powerful auras and were clearly not easy to deal with.
Their arrival made the atmosphere in the entire Xuanxiu Alliance even more solemn and serious.
The meeting was held in the Alliance's main hall, which was spacious and solemn. Representatives from various factions and heads of aristocratic families took their seats in turn, creating a tense and oppressive atmosphere.
Han Yunshen spoke first, his voice steady and powerful: "Gentlemen, the demonic spirits are rampant, and the wielders of the Nine Dragon Seal have been repeatedly attacked. The situation is urgent. The reason I have summoned you all here today is to discuss a foolproof plan."
The sect leader of Dan Pavilion stroked his beard and said, "Demon spirits are cunning and can possess cultivators, making them difficult to guard against. In my opinion, the most urgent task is to develop more magical artifacts that can detect demon spirits, identify those who carry demonic seeds in the mortal world, and prevent demon spirits from growing."
An elder from the Weapon Sect immediately chimed in: "Our sect may not be strong in combat, but we are willing to fully cooperate in creating the Demon Seed Detector."
“Not enough,” Mo Zhenting said in a deep voice. “The fact that the demon spirit can control a Celestial Master to self-destruct means that its power far exceeds our expectations. We must rebuild a dedicated demon-hunting team composed of elites from various factions.”
At this moment, a patriarch of a noble family dressed in purple sneered: "That sounds nice, but who will be the vanguard to die? I heard that even the young master of the Mo family almost perished in there."
After looking around, he asked, "Besides, the Blood Fiend Sect members must be hiding. They can just plant the demonic seeds in one family and then plant another batch in someone else's house. It won't hurt the root of the problem."
Han Yunshen's gaze darkened as he coldly looked at the purple-robed family head, his tone carrying an undeniable authority: "Family Head Zhao, your words are rather pessimistic. The threat of demonic spirits is a crisis for the entire cultivation world; we have no way out. As for the demon-hunting team, it is naturally composed of elites from various sects. This is our responsibility and our mission to protect the peace of the world."
The Zhao family head felt somewhat guilty under Han Yunshen's gaze, but still retorted defiantly, "Responsibility? Mission? Easier said than done. If our disciples suffer heavy casualties in the demon-hunting operation, who will take responsibility?"
Han Yunshen snorted coldly and said, "Patriarch Zhao, are you questioning the alliance's decision?"
"The energy of the Nine Dragons Demon Sealing Formation is getting weaker and weaker. If we don't cut off the supply of the demon's main soul in time, are we going to wait for the formation to collapse and the demon's main soul to break free?"
"When we get there, will you fight or not?"
He glanced at everyone and said, "As you all probably know, the Demon Suppression Stele is the core of the Nine Dragons Demon Sealing Formation. If we are fortunate enough to find all nine seals, we can restore the power of the Demon Suppression Stele, and only then can we hope to completely suppress the evil demon's main soul, eliminate it, and restore the glory of our cultivation world."
Hearing Han Yunshen's words, everyone present was looking forward to that scene.
The Miao elder said, "Our clan has always been committed to cultivating the Demon-Seeking Gu, and now it is quite large. We are willing to send our disciples into the world to fully assist in eliminating the demon seeds."
"But our clan currently only has two Celestial Master level experts, and we are willing to send one to join the Alliance Demon Hunter Team."
As everyone knows, the Demon Hunter Team was disbanded thousands of years ago. Back then, demon spirits would slumber for hundreds of years at a time. Gradually, the Demon Hunter Team was no longer valued. It wasn't until the last thousand years, when the main souls of evil spirits awakened more and more frequently, that the importance of the Demon Hunter Team was brought back to the forefront.
However, rebuilding the Demon Hunter team is no easy task and requires the full support of various factions and families.
When there was little hope in sight, everyone was reluctant.
Now that the Nine Dragon Seal has begun to appear in the world, the prosperous Taiqing era is expected to arrive, and everyone seems much more enthusiastic.
Han Yunshen nodded and said, "Thank you for your support, Fellow Daoist Miao!"
At this moment, Tian Shu stood up and said, "My Xuanji Sect is also willing to send two Celestial Master level elders and a group of disciples to join the Demon Hunting Team. Our disciples are skilled in divination, formations, and talismans, and can provide strong support for the team."
The sect leader of Dan Pavilion nodded and said, "Dan Pavilion is willing to provide alchemists and pharmacists to ensure that the team has enough pills to support them during the operation."
With that initial statement, everyone expressed their opinions, and the Blue Nether Sword Sect also stated that it would send two Celestial Master level elders and two teams of disciples.
Other leaders of various factions and heads of aristocratic families also expressed their support and willingness to send elite disciples to join the demon-hunting team.
Han Yunshen nodded in satisfaction and said, "Since everyone agrees, let's get started immediately. After each sect and family returns, they should select suitable disciples as soon as possible to form a demon-hunting team. At the same time, we will also arrange for someone to be in charge of developing a demon seed detector to prevent demon spirits from cultivating them into evil cultivators of the Blood Fiend Sect and demon seed breeding machines."
Finally, when it came to how to train those who hold the seal, the debate started again.
Some people believe that since the demon spirits can track down the seal bearers, they should use them as bait to lure the demon spirits and the Blood Fiend Sect members, set a trap, and then capture them all in one fell swoop.
Some people disagreed, but in the end Han Yunshen made the final decision: Mo Bai and the others would have to wait a while before they could move again due to their injuries, and the arrangement for the seal bearer would be temporarily put on hold until a safe solution was found.
After the meeting, various factions and aristocratic families sprang into action and began selecting members for the Demon Hunter Team.
Han Yunshen personally led a group of array masters and talisman masters to begin researching and improving the production of the demon seed detector.
Rong Jiaojiao and Jun Yuangui were left at the Alliance headquarters to cultivate, and each of them was given an independent courtyard.
Looking at the rich spiritual energy in Rong Jiaojiao's courtyard, Qing Xuanzi said to Rong Jiaojiao with relief, "If Master plans to join the Demon Hunting Team, he should go back to the sect first and see if he can get a spot from the sect leader."
Although Master's combat strength is not low, joining the Demon Hunter Team is too dangerous. He said worriedly, "Master, why don't you not go? Your disciple is here."
Qing Xuanzi patted her head and said, "Although we talisman cultivators are not the ceiling of combat power, our talismans can play a big role at critical moments."
