The sudden commotion caused the several Grand Immortals inside the hall to frown, but when they looked outside, the sheer number of people surging about made them uneasy.
Leading the group were the two Immortal Venerables, Black and White, and Flame Demon, who had been extorted for spirit stones and reprimanded by Ye Feng.
But those who responded were thousands upon thousands of cultivators from various sects.
There are various levels, including Integration, Mahayana, and even Immortal Venerable!
Several powerful immortals frowned, not to mention Ye Feng's mood.
If I get kicked out, won't I miss the bus? How am I supposed to improve my cultivation then?
Just then, the Supreme Immortal Venerable Taiyi of the Supreme Sect arrived.
Upon seeing the scene before him, he let out a loud shout.
"This is a key meeting place for the Alliance. Why are you making such a commotion?"
The Immortal Venerable Taiyi, dressed in white robes, with white hair and a white beard, unleashed his power, stunning everyone present.
With the Great Immortal Venerable in front of them, how could the crowd dare to act as recklessly as before?
But the two most aggrieved immortals, Black and White, and Flame Demon, did not remain silent. They stepped forward, bowed, and said...
"Reporting to Immortal Venerable Taiyi, the pursuit of the strange beast is a major event in the cultivation world. Everyone has contributed their time and effort without complaint. However... that brat from the Five Elements Sect is merely a Void Returning cultivator, yet he sits high above everyone else, disregarding cultivation level and turning the world upside down. We... are not satisfied!"
After the Black and White Immortals finished speaking, the crowd began to jeer.
"That's right! Let him out!"
"How can someone who has only reached the Void Returning stage be qualified to surpass those who have reached the Great Ascension stage of the Integration stage? Doesn't that mean there are no rules left in the cultivation world?!"
...
Taiyi Immortal Venerable waved his hand to silence them, and Yanmo Immortal Venerable stepped forward again.
“Master Taiyi, we acknowledge that the Five Elements Sect is a top sect, but look around. Apart from that kid sitting in the Nine Venerable Hall, where can we find a single member of the Five Elements Sect who has contributed anything here? He hasn’t done a single thing, yet he wants to be above all the Venerables. What gives him the right?”
"Exactly! That's so unfair!"
"Get him out!"
"What right does a sect that's on the verge of bankruptcy have to be ranked among the Nine Venerables!"
...
This time, the outcry was even louder, and even Taiyi Immortal Venerable was finding it hard to suppress.
Just as the situation was about to spiral out of control, the Nine Venerable Hall in front finally stirred.
The scene is blurred, revealing the five people sitting inside.
The young man who was being spurned out by everyone sat calmly next to Immortal Venerable Ning Shuang, his face somewhat gloomy, but without the fear that everyone wanted to see.
The Great Evolution Immortal Venerable rose to his feet and emerged directly.
"Please be patient, everyone!"
As the controller of the Thousand Evolutions Array, his voice alone was enough to drown out all other voices.
The entire audience fell silent, watching the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable.
"Your demands are reasonable, but the Five Elements Sect is not as you say, having made no contributions whatsoever!"
"This Zhang Wuji of the Five Elements Sect possesses an important immortal artifact of the Five Elements Sect... What this immortal artifact is cannot be revealed, but all you need to know is that this immortal artifact is the key to capturing the strange beast!"
The name Zhang Wuji from the Five Elements Sect was requested by Ye Feng himself.
Although he is currently strong enough to barely protect himself, he has too many enemies. Even the members of the Five Elements Sect are being cautious. If his connection to Tiannan is discovered, things will be terrible.
As the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable spoke, the other Immortal Venerables also received the news and arrived one after another.
Several powerful immortals stood together, staring at the crowd. The oppressive aura they exuded was not easy to resist.
Most Immortal Venerable experts are concentrated in a few top sects. Other sects are considered powerful if they have even one First Tribulation Loose Immortal, like the Black and White Flame Demon.
To put it bluntly, even if all the other sects were combined, they still couldn't defeat the eight top sects!
However, this is a gathering of the alliance, with half of the cultivation world present. Even the eight top sects cannot blame everyone for this.
The words of the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable did not convince the crowd, and some people still spoke up in the crowd.
“We naturally believe the words of the great immortals… but now we haven’t captured a single beast, and the destruction of the city has still occurred. What should we do if this continues!”
As soon as this person spoke, a murmur arose from the crowd below.
"Yes, yes! Several sects have been attacked in the past few days... We've diverted half our forces to defend this place, but we've accomplished nothing. What should we do if this continues?"
"Maybe we should just give up... It's a waste of time anyway. These beasts can't eat that many. Dozens of cities have already disappeared. If they eat them all at once, it will take them decades to digest them..."
"Yeah! We haven't found a single beast... And even if we did, we don't know if we could defeat them. It might result in heavy casualties again. It's better for everyone to go home and see how things go."
...
The voices grew louder and louder, and it looked like they were about to become uncontrollable again.
The seven beings almost simultaneously frowned and looked at Da Yan.
But Da Yan shook his head.
The expressions on their faces immediately turned serious.
The resentment of the crowd had been suppressed, but those few hidden voices stirred things up again, leading to the current situation.
It was clearly intentional.
But none of them expected that this person's voice could be kept secret from the host, the Great Evolution Immortal Venerable.
Several powerful immortals were cornered again; given the current situation, they couldn't complete their mission without revealing some information.
The Great Evolution Immortal Venerable waved his hand again, and the array diagram glowed slightly, silencing the crowd.
"To tell you the truth, we have now found a way to deal with the alien beasts. In at most six months, the problem of alien beasts will definitely be solved! And none of you will be killed or injured. We eight are willing to guarantee that if the problem is not solved in six months, we will absolutely not stop you!"
Half a year is a long time; in fact, it should be finished in three or four months at most.
His earlier conversation with Ye Feng had taken up valuable time. The initial period is actually the most precious; if they acted swiftly, catching five on the first day wouldn't be impossible.
Moreover, even if it takes half a year to resolve, the remaining one or two will be a minor threat. Based on their approximate location, a few great immortals can deduce it without the assistance of others.
The exact time has already been given, so theoretically, everyone should have no worries.
When the time came, everyone departed. The fact that several powerful immortals could make such a guarantee suggests they had sufficient confidence.
But at that moment, the voice that had kept them from finding their way rang out again.
"Great Immortal Venerable speaks so lightly. We have followed the array diagram several times, but we have not encountered a single strange beast. In the end, we will have wasted half a year of our efforts and the result will still be the same. We may still have our city and sect destroyed by the strange beast!"
The location of the strange beast was deduced by everyone present, and we also need to know its movements! We have the right to know! Everyone has close relatives and friends; if we know the beast's whereabouts, it would be good to let a few of them take precautions in advance!
These words immediately ignited indignation in the eyes of the few "lonely cultivators" who had lost their sects.
Yes! I contributed during the simulation, but in the end, we ended up all alone.
How could they treat us like this...
"We also need to know the whereabouts of the alien beasts! We have the right to know!"
"That's right!"
...
