Subsequently, the righteous alliance attacked the City of Gods and Demons five times, each time ending in failure and failing to shake the city in the slightest.
In early March, during the late spring season, on a warm and blossoming day, Yuan Ling, the head of the Yuan Dao Sect, sent his disciples to deliver messages to many righteous sects, saying that in order to deal with the situation of failing to conquer the Demon City through forceful attacks, he had specially invited the heads of these sects to come to the Yuan Dao Sect to discuss solutions.
A total of thirty leaders from both Buddhist and Taoist sects were invited to attend.
In the front hall of the Qingjing Hall, thirty grand master chairs were arranged in a row on both sides of the high platform. Yuan Ling placed his own chair below the platform, in the middle of the front of the thirty grand master chairs, in order to distinguish between the host and the guest.
After some pleasantries, the thirty-one sect leaders took their seats. Yuan Ling looked around at the thirty sect leaders, his face grave, and said in a deep voice, "We have launched several fierce attacks on the Demon City without success. It seems that the Demon Clan is about to gain a foothold in the Central Plains. In the future, they will definitely use the Demon City as their base to expand their power outwards. At that time, the people of the Central Plains will surely suffer greatly. I am very worried about this!"
The sect leader of Qing Shan Sect, Dao Yuan Zhenren, nodded with a worried expression, saying, "That's right. Therefore, we must not allow the demon race to develop its power. We must extinguish their arrogant arrogance!"
Sitting third to the right of Yuan Ling, Shi Ning shook his head and sighed, "But the defenses of the God and Demon City are too strong. We can't take it down by force."
The other sect leaders echoed their sentiments, and the hall became noisy. The sect leaders who were more familiar with each other sat together and talked, all of them with worried expressions.
Yuan Ling listened silently to the hushed conversation of the thirty sect leaders. After a long while, he covered his mouth and coughed lightly.
Upon hearing Yuan Ling's soft cough, the many sect leaders quieted down and turned their attention to him.
Yuan Ling cleared his throat and said loudly, "For now, a direct attack on the City of Gods and Demons is probably not feasible. Even if we were to conquer our Central Plains righteous path, we would inevitably suffer heavy casualties. Perhaps we can use some means to drive the demons out of the Central Plains."
The abbess of Pudu Temple was an elderly nun. She looked at Yuanling with suspicion and asked, "May I ask, Yuanling Zhenren, what methods did you use?"
Yuan Ling turned to look at Liang Yihan, who had been standing quietly behind him, then looked around at the thirty sect leaders and said in a clear voice, "Liang Yihan, a disciple of my Yuan Dao Sect, has been intelligent and resourceful since childhood. He told me that he had thought of a way to completely defeat the Demon Clan. I don't know if this method is feasible, so I sent a message to invite you all here to discuss it together."
All thirty sect leaders looked puzzled, staring intently at Yuan Ling, waiting for him to continue.
"Han'er." Yuan Ling turned to Liang Yihan and said in a deep voice, "You speak."
"Yes." Liang Yihan nodded in response, took a few steps forward and walked around from behind Yuan Ling, standing beside him and bowing to the thirty sect leaders.
Facing all the leaders of the righteous path in the Central Plains, Liang Yihan displayed an extraordinary demeanor, showing no fear whatsoever. He cleared his throat and said in a clear voice, "Junior Liang Yihan greets all the seniors."
He raised his head, his face calm and his voice clear, and said, "A few years ago, when I was traveling in the mortal world, I had the good fortune to enter the cave of a senior while competing for rare treasures, and saw the method of refining 'Thunderfire Tribulation'."
He paused for a moment, his expression hardening, and said, word by word, "Now, in order to completely drive the demons out of the Central Plains without causing too many casualties on our side, we have no choice but to use the Thunderfire Tribulation!"
As soon as Liang Yihan said this, the whole hall was in an uproar. All thirty sect leaders changed their expressions and began to discuss among themselves in twos and threes.
