People from the three sects arrived first, but this time everyone was in sync, and most of those who came were disciples of their respective sects. Only the Demon Suppression Sect sent an elder, while the sect leaders of the major sects did not come.
Clearly, everyone felt it wasn't necessary for the sect leaders of all the major sects to personally come and help.
Just as Bai Hao and his group arrived at the palace hall, more people followed closely behind. Turning around, Bai Hao's eyes lit up with surprise upon seeing who it was—
This time, it was people from the Dan Sect who came, and they were all people Bai Hao knew: Duan Qiyun, Ouyang Yan, and Sun Rong.
Upon arriving at the port, Ouyang Yan also saw Bai Hao. Her pretty face froze for a moment, then excitement welled up, and her eyes sparkled with a captivating light.
However, because there were so many people around, Ouyang Yan suppressed her excitement, but her gaze still kept drifting towards Bai Hao.
Bai Hao responded with a slight smile.
"Welcome everyone." A loud voice rang out, and everyone immediately looked over—a middle-aged man in a dragon robe walked steadily towards them. Although he had a faint smile on his face, the domineering aura between his brows could not be concealed, and his mere presence inspired awe.
The visitor was none other than the Emperor of Chu!
This is the aura of a ruler of a country, regardless of the strength of one's cultivation level; even the leader of a sect does not possess such an aura.
"Greetings to the Emperor of Chu!"
Everyone quickly bowed with their hands clasped.
"The situation is urgent. I have invited you all here to help. The situation is urgent, so I won't waste any more words. Let's get straight to the point." The Chu Emperor waved his hand, and a huge scroll was displayed before everyone—
The scroll depicts a series of still images after battles between Chu soldiers and demons, each scene showcasing the demons' sharp claws, long fangs, and powerful bodies.
Extremely impressive.
"As you all know, the demonic beasts have broken through the seal, posing a great danger not only to our Chu Kingdom but also to the entire continent. Therefore, we must suppress them once again," said the Chu Emperor.
"Although the monsters are not as powerful as before, they are still stronger than us humans in terms of both cultivation and physical strength. We cannot be careless and must go all out."
Monsters are stronger than humans in many ways. If the various demon kings hadn't suddenly disappeared back then, the Divine Radiance Continent would probably be a world dominated by monsters now.
However, a thousand years have passed since the era when monsters dominated the land, and humanity's strength has greatly improved. If they were to fight against the monsters of that time now, they might not be unable to defeat them.
Moreover, the monsters of today are no longer as powerful as they once were; a defeated army has nothing to fear in a battle.
"Then what are Emperor Chu's plans now?" The speaker was an elder of the Demon Suppression Sect, the only sect elder among those who came. He was an old man in red robes, vigorous and with an extraordinary temperament. His strength had also reached the early stage of the Knowledge and Action Realm.
The Chu Emperor was only at the peak of the Knowledge and Action Realm. Now, while other sects were only sending some core disciples, the Demon Suppression Sect sent an elder at the Knowledge and Action Realm. This shows that the Demon Suppression Sect was very willing to help the Chu Kingdom.
"Elder Xuan Tong." Looking at the elder of the Demon Suppression Sect, Emperor Chu smiled slightly and said:
"We have now built a defensive line 300 miles outside the extreme cold region, blocking the main force of the monsters inside. The few that managed to escape have now been basically annihilated by us."
The problem now is that they can't break in, and we can't break in either. Therefore, we need everyone to find a way to penetrate deep into the monsters' territory, coordinate an attack from within and without, and defeat them in one fell swoop.
As soon as the Emperor of Chu said this, everyone present immediately started discussing it.
"Go inside the monster's lair? Isn't that sending us to our deaths?"
"If we can't even open it from the front, how are we supposed to get in?"
Are you sure this plan will work?
Immediately, various opinions emerged, expressing different views on the Chu Emperor's words. Some objected, some were puzzled, but no one agreed.
When they arrived, their sect leader sent them to help, not to die. So many heavy troops from Chu Kingdom couldn't break through the monsters' defenses, and now they're being sent to create an opening?
This is nothing short of suicide.
But some people are waiting for the Chu Emperor's explanation.
There wasn't much noise from the Luo Hai Sect side, because neither Bai Hao, the leader, nor the others spoke.
Bai Hao didn't really see anything wrong with the Chu Emperor's arrangement, and he didn't quite understand why so many people had so many opinions.
Perhaps it's because their cultivation levels are different. Anyway, Bai Hao's attitude towards those demonic beasts is just so-so now. He even killed the White Dragon Venerable, so why would he be afraid of some small fry?
So he didn't speak, but let others express their questions.
Seeing their discussion, the Chu Emperor was not angry, but continued to explain:
"I know that everyone may have objections to this plan, but this arrangement has not been made without careful consideration. First of all, although our Chu Kingdom has a large military force, we have already used all available forces to contain the demon beasts, and we do not have any spare forces. That is why we have asked for your help."
Secondly, you are all core disciples of the sect, and your strength is beyond doubt. Given time, you will surely become the backbone of the sect. Moreover, while you are entering, we will also send a large army to press in and put pressure on them, thus creating a relatively safe environment for you.
A loud and powerful voice rang out in the hall, carrying the aura of a monarch, exuding authority without anger, and the invisible pressure immediately silenced everyone.
"On behalf of the Demon Suppression Sect, I support Emperor Chu's actions." After a long silence, Elder Xuan Tong of the Demon Suppression Sect was the first to express his support.
While some others were still discussing the matter, representatives from the various sects also expressed their opinions.
"Cold Moon Palace agrees."
"Our Inviting Moon Sect also agrees."
"Dan Zong agrees."
"Luohai Sect agrees." Bai Hao said, but there was no further sound after he finished speaking. Only then did Bai Hao notice that only five sects were present, and neither the Great Cang Kingdom nor the Divine Sea Sect sent anyone.
Bai Hao wasn't too surprised that no one from the Divine Sea Sect came. After all, given the current state of the Divine Sea Sect, they were barely able to save themselves and had suffered so many losses. If they sent some core disciples this time, it would be a fatal blow if something went wrong, and the Divine Sea Sect might even face the danger of becoming a second-rate sect.
So this time they chose to rest and recuperate.
Bai Hao was surprised that the Great Cang Kingdom did not send anyone. When the White Dragon Venerable caused trouble, the Great Cang Kingdom did not suffer much loss and should have had spare capacity.
But they haven't come yet, and Bai Hao has no idea why.
