To everyone's astonishment, Lu Qing walked off the stage and came in front of Li Rulan.
Seeing Lu Qing showing such a serious expression for the first time, Li Rulan couldn't help but become serious.
"Old Li, someone is invading the sect. I need to go back."
"How is the visitor?" Li Rulan asked with a frown.
"Zheshu said that the other party came prepared. If he was in peak condition, he would not be his opponent in a single round."
"Senior Jieshu, are you injured?"
Lu Qing nodded.
"Who could possibly have caused Senior Jieshu to be injured..." Li Rulan pondered for a moment and concluded, "Could it be that it was the will of Heaven? ...I see."
Lu Qing's expression remained unchanged as he patted Li Rulan's arm and said, "Mr. Li, I'll leave this to you."
"Master, you can go without worry." Li Rulan said seriously, "I'm here."
Lu Qing's mouth twitched, and he took out another jade token and handed it to Li Rulan, saying, "There is a teleportation array sealed in this jade token. Release the teleportation array after the meeting. I won't have to travel long distances when I'm done with my work."
After finishing his explanation, Lu Qing immediately activated his supernatural powers and disappeared from the spot.
All that was left were a few wisps of smoke emanating from the rosy robes.
The leader of Cangxia Sect has disappeared!!!
Even with such a high-level ceremony, an unexpected event occurred!!!
In Zhongfu Province, where formalism is rampant, this accident was like a bolt from the blue, causing all the cultivators to become agitated.
"Be patient." Tianjizi clapped his hands, and circles of special spiritual energy surged out, instantly shocking the noisy monks.
In just a moment, the nine members of the council had a vague feeling that they had guessed what had happened.
Tianjizi glanced around and saw that all the major council members remained calm, only some lower-level council members who had just been elected lost their composure and looked panicked or surprised.
Under the Jade Platform, the leaders of the viewing groups from the major sects were also very calm, but there was something unusual over at Chiyan Mountain.
Jin Liuxian was a little absent-minded, but Fang Tianhua, who was wearing a cloak, was uncontrollably excited.
Tianjizi understood it all at once.
Then he realized that it was time for him to make a choice.
Chiyan Mountain, seemingly still intent on the Jianmu tree robbers, took advantage of the Cangxia Sect's absence during the alliance ceremony to march north towards Yunzhou and attack the Cangxia Sect. This time, their reclusive ancestors may have emerged from seclusion!
Regardless of the outcome, Chiyan Mountain and Cangxia Sect have directly torn their relations apart.
Although the seal has been affixed and spiritual energy has been injected into the spirit-suppressing stone, the ceremony has not been completed, and the Cangxia Sect cannot be fully considered to have joined the Immortal Alliance.
Whether the Immortal Alliance intervenes or not, it is reasonable.
It’s time for Tianjizi to make a choice.
"During this grand ceremony, the leader of the Cangxia Sect left without saying goodbye. Where does this put our Immortal Alliance?! Does the Cangxia Sect take our Immortal Alliance seriously?!" Han Huohuo stood up, filled with righteous indignation.
As soon as these words were spoken, the monks watching the ceremony began to make a commotion again.
They all knew that this was a large sect, and the fight was laid out openly.
These young cultivators are more than happy to witness the changes in Zhongfu Prefecture up close!
"Mr. Han, the covenant has been sealed. This Spirit-Suppressing Immortal Stone also contains the spiritual energy of the Cangxia Sect. Logically speaking, the Cangxia Sect is already a member of our Immortal Alliance." Wei Erzhu said, "Sect Master Lu also greeted Fellow Daoist Tianjizi before leaving, so it can't be considered rude."
"Humph, the ceremony lasts for seven days."
"When the Immortal Alliance was first established, the only official ceremony was to sacrifice spiritual energy to the Spirit Stone. These seven days are nothing more than the red tape accumulated over the years."
"You call the wisdom of generations of ancestors red tape? Eunuch Wei, that's unacceptable!"
"If it is considered the crystallization of our ancestors' wisdom, then why do you abandon the Fire Bath Day that takes place every ten years on Chiyan Mountain?"
"The fire bath method is outdated, but I, Chiyan Mountain, have a new method!"
"Well said! I agree with the idea of innovation!"
Han Huohuo and Wei Erzhu were at loggerheads.
The Fire Bath Days of Scarlet Flame Mountain are a cruel training method that sends disciples into a fiery hell. For Foundation Establishment cultivators, entering the hell is tantamount to committing suicide. Only one out of a hundred disciples can emerge as a fire spirit. The rest will either die or, like Fang Tianhua, become a half-human, half-ghost.
In an era of scarce spiritual energy and resources, doing so, although cruel, can ensure that the disciples trained are all top talents.
But in today's era, if Chiyan Mountain does this again, it would be considered as evil and would be spurned by the cultivators in Zhongfu Province.
"Okay." Tianjizi had to interrupt.
In name, the Immortal Alliance should maintain a distance from the original sect when conducting affairs.
Although this rule is now almost universally accepted, it still doesn't look good to openly state one's position.
"If the real master is not here, then there is no need to continue this ceremony."
Fang Tianhua spoke in a sinister tone.
"My fellow Daoist, in the Cangxia Sect, only Sect Master Lu is away temporarily due to some matters. The rest of the disciples are all here."
"Oh, then, is there anyone in the Cangxia Sect who can take over the position of Sect Master?"
“…”
When it comes to the power of the sect, it is not appropriate for outsiders to interfere.
The players at this time were extremely excited.
It really was an accident!!!
Although I don’t know what the accident was!!!
But Sect Master Lu is missing! Furthermore, there are hostile people on this mountain!
A fight is about to break out!!
Ye Aoteng immediately prepared to go up and take charge of the situation.
This is an opportunity!!!
In situations like this, the protagonist usually steps forward, turning the tide and becoming famous, handling the crisis perfectly. Then, they're recognized by the sect and soar to fame, becoming a powerful figure!
