Chapter 378 Young Elder
Li Weiyi said, "I issued the Order to Hide the Gods, but I never thought that I would summon the elders as well. The enemy is extremely powerful. Many people will die in what we are about to do in Lingxiao City. Maybe most of them will die, or maybe the whole army will be wiped out. I cannot guarantee everyone's safety."
“We can’t let all of the Hidden Sect die in Yuntian Fairyland, so those of you who have important missions, family members, or are not ready to die in Lingxiao City, please withdraw now. I only want half of them.”
"The half that left, don't feel ashamed. You have to continue to support the Hidden Gate and shoulder your responsibilities."
"I'll give you a quarter of an hour to think about it."
Including my elder and the forty-five supreme elders, no one knew the specific situation, and they were all moved when they heard Li Weiyi speak so seriously.
A masked Hermit elder said: "To become a Hermit, one has already put life and death aside, but we must first know who the enemy is, why we are fighting, and whether it is worth dying for."
"That's exactly the reason. Please let the hidden man tell us all this first." said another hidden elder.
Li Weiyi's eyes were sharp, and he said decisively: "Sorry, I can't tell you. Only those who stay can know."
Then, there was a long silence.
Seeing that no one left, Li Weiyi looked at the 45th Grand Elder and said, "Grand Elder, you know them better. Please send half of them."
The forty-fifth Grand Elder laughed hoarsely and said, "The hidden people who really can't leave didn't come to Lingxiao City. If those present don't want to leave, let them stay. The Hidden Gate has seeds, and it can be rebuilt even if it is broken."
"The order to hide the gods is not issued casually. We have made all preparations before coming." said the old gatekeeper.
He is one of the twelve elders.
Li Weiyi understood their determination, so he stopped talking and got straight to business: "You all have reached the Dao Seed Realm, so you should all be aware of the dangers of the current situation in the world."
"After Qilin Zang returned, the Far West Ashes, Longmen, Dongyi, and Xirong were connected together, and all the demon forces such as Tianya Ridge, Yinshan, and Shanjun Huihuo were taken under his command."
"The major human forces in Lingxiao Biota have been fighting for more than ten years. The conflicts and hatreds are difficult to reconcile. There is no leader and each of them is acting on their own. The final result is that they will be defeated one by one."
"Two years ago, the Transcendental War took a heavy toll on both sides."
"Now that Chaoran's injuries have gradually healed, Qilin Zang has realized that relying on pure strength, we cannot crush the humans in Lingxiao Habitat, which will only make us more united than ever. For him, uniting allies and tactics becomes particularly important."
Li Weiyi then told everyone all the information he had obtained.
Suddenly, the entire meeting hall was in an uproar. Everyone was shocked and felt as if dark clouds were covering the sky and the earth was collapsing.
Li Weiyi continued, "It was because of this incident that Lord Yin was robbed. I was lucky enough to survive, so I must take responsibility."
"Let me be frank. I trust every one of you, so I'm only telling you this secret. If anyone leaks it, whether it's voluntary or forced, God won't give it any face."
The old man said: "Before leaving the door, everyone should come to me and plant the Death Spirit Fire."
The forty-fifth Grand Elder asked, "Is the Rice Cult really that powerful? Once the Yin Corpse Rice Planting is activated, the entire habitat will instantly turn into a ghost realm."
Yin Wu said: "The high-ranking officials of the demon race can fight back and forth with the high-ranking officials of the human race. Now, they have invited the ghost realm of the dead and the evil cult to help them. Lingxiao City will definitely not be able to stop them. Once Lingxiao City falls, the rest of the forces in the world will be scattered. How can we stop them? They will surely collapse."
A young masked hermit said, "It's not that simple! I've been lurking in the Li tribe and have recently discovered some strange phenomena. Combined with the appearance of the demon boy, I suspect that the transcendent from the Li tribe has secretly returned from the Demon Kingdom."
An elder of the hidden people said: "I am responsible for patrolling the border of the southern border. I found that some ghost towns and skeleton palaces in the netherworld of the dead are gathering the army of the undead recently, but the direction is the western border."
An elder who was hiding in the imperial court said in a pleasant voice: "The imperial court has also received this information. Many immortal giants in Lingxiao City have secretly rushed to the western border. It is estimated that Chaoran will also leave in a few days. If this is a tactic of the enemy to make a feint to the east and attack in the west, Lingxiao City is in great danger!"
Another hermit elder said, "The imperial court has been troubled by the ghost baby incident, the Nine-Layered Dao Image, the Liangzhou Chaoran attack, and the East China Sea bandits. The court has been thrown into disarray. How can it stop the evil cult's thousand-year plan?"
"I am more worried about Suizong. Suizong is now omnipresent in the imperial court. If they start a war at a critical moment, the consequences will be unimaginable."
"The demon tribe has only lurked in thirty powerful undeads, which is enough for us to search. The thousand-year layout of the Rice Sect, how terrifying is the destructive power?"
…
Everyone discussed it heatedly, sharing the information they had, expressing their own opinions, and looking for ways to break the deadlock.
In the past hundred years, the Jiuli tribe has gradually declined, and the Jiuli Hidden Sect has also adopted a defensive stance.
The hidden people mainly lurk in the major forces in the southern border and the imperial court.
The more important a force is to the survival of the Jiuli tribe, the more talented the hidden people lurking inside will be, seeking to rise to a high position and obtain key intelligence.
For example, the one who went to the Dao Sect was Yao Qingxuan, the one who went to the Earth Wolf King Army was Yin Wu, and the one who went to the Sui Sect was Yin Yi.
There are also Night City, Coffin Mountain, Zuoqiu Gate, Jiang Family, and Lingxiao City, which are all the focus of Hidden Sect's operations.
The hidden elder lurking in the court looked at Li Weiyi and said, "Once Lingxiao City falls, all humans will be affected. No one can be spared. This matter is not something we can solve. I have a way to contact a transcendent person in the court. We need a transcendent person to stand on our side."
Li Weiyi said: "Are you so sure that there must be no problem with the Chao Ran behind you?"
"If there is something wrong with her, no matter how much we do, Lingxiao City will definitely fall. Shenyinren, can we talk alone?"
Li Weiyi nodded slightly. He was very interested in the hermit elder hiding in the court. He thought he would be of great use in the future.
"Study this list first and write it all down. In the next month, you must first find as many of the thirty powerful dead spirits lurking within the imperial court as possible."
The two of them came outside the palace.
The hidden elder who was lurking in the imperial court took off his mask, revealing a beautiful face with a pure immortal body. He looked to be in his early twenties, extremely young, with a faint silver-white star-moon mark on his forehead.
She said, "Third Palace Master's disciple, Xingyue Nu, has met the Hidden God."
"Such a young elder?"
Li Weiyi was slightly surprised. He had heard of her name. She had fought with Xie Chucai and was defeated in seven moves.
Xingyue Nu put on the mask again and said: "I was ranked sixtieth in the last sixty years. This year I am already forty-two. I entered the sect one year earlier than Yinyi. People in Yinmen call me the young elder."
"I know what the Hidden God is worried about! Lingxiao City and the four major passes, half of the defense formations are in the hands of the Third Palace Master. If there was a problem with her, Yuntian Fairyland would have fallen long ago."
Li Weiyi said, "Then have you ever thought about this question? If the demon race and the Dao Cult didn't master the defensive formation left by the Emperor of Breaking the Mist, how could they dare to attack Yuntian Xianyuan?"
"The Taishi family and the Lintai governed by the Third Palace Master must be the places they want to infiltrate most."
"Recently, the capital of Liangzhou was attacked by the demon tribe, and Taishi Gong was pinned down there. The deputy general in charge of the city defense and defense formations at Nanyan Pass was killed, and Taishi Qingcang was forced to come out to take charge of the situation. The ghost baby incident occurred in Taichang Temple, and Taishi Qingshi was extremely worried."
"The three great masters of the Taishi family are now all restrained. Why is Lintai so peaceful?"
Xingyue Nu was moved: "Do you think Lintai is in greater danger? But perhaps the Third Palace Master's cultivation is too high and impeccable, so they dare not act rashly."
Li Weiyi shook his head: "This is a life-and-death battle that is upside down. No one can afford to lose. I don't think the Third Palace Master is invincible. What do you think is her weakness?"
Xingyue Nu pondered for a moment, thought of something, and hesitated to speak.
Li Weiyi asked, "How many concubines does the Third Palace Master have?"
A very embarrassing question.
Xingyue Nu glanced at him and looked at the snowflakes in the night mist: "I don't know about this! But in the past three hundred years, it is said that there will be one every sixty years. Do you think the Third Palace Master will make a mistake about this? Impossible, she is the driver, not the controlled."
Li Weiyi said: "I am only thinking from the perspective of a Dao Cult strongman! If I were Dao Zu, from what angle would I try to get the defensive formation layout diagram from the Third Palace Master."
"The Third Palace Master's cultivation is too high, and this is his only weakness. Then I will do everything I can to take control of this weakness."
"This afternoon, I went to the West Sea Palace and learned something from Song Lin. Song Yulou's parents both died in the battle of Cangyuan."
Xingyue Nu opened her beautiful eyes wide, shocked: "You suspect the head of the Song family?"
"I have no doubt that the head of the Song family is a very charismatic person, extremely talented, humble, and flawless."
Li Weiyi changed the subject: "All the top talents I met were arrogant... I didn't say there was anything wrong with being the third palace master's concubine. In fact, countless people dream of it."
"It's just that Song Yulou has the support of the King of West Sea and a distinguished family background, which makes him different from Yao Qian and his ilk. What the Third Palace Master can give him, the West Sea Palace can also give him."
"He doesn't look like someone who is obsessed with beauty. Well, if the Third Palace Master was just a widower, instead of changing spouses every sixty years, I can accept it, not to mention him. But, it's not like that. This sixty years is fine, but what about the next sixty years? Will she serve the Third Palace Master with another man?"
"Does the West Sea Palace really think this is an honorable thing? What is he asking for? True love?"
Xingyue Nu was shaken by what Li Weiyi said: "But... he is the number one of the fourth generation of the Xihai Palace. Is he just hating Xihai Nu Cangyuan for his defeat?"
"Hatred may just be a gap that the Rice Cult uses to break through him."
Li Weiyi smiled and said, "Of course, all of this is just my unfounded speculation. Maybe the direction is completely wrong."
"No... I think you might be getting close to the truth."
Xingyue Nu looked solemn, "Today, Song Yulou has become the Junior Minister of the Lintai. After reaching the realm of immortality, the Third Palace Master will definitely give him more things to handle, and the trust he has in him is not comparable to that of us disciples. Some things make me more frightened the more I think about them."
"If it is really him... maybe Qingli's appearance in Tanyuefang in the form of a ghost mother was also his doing."
"The Hidden God, I am a little shaken. Perhaps the Third Palace Master cannot be easily informed."
"Check first, let's check together. You should also keep an eye on other situations in Lintai." Li Weiyi turned and entered the hall, as there were more important things to arrange.
…
Asking for monthly ticket...
In addition, I wish all the students taking the college entrance examination to achieve good results. I hope you have not read any novels during the period before the exam, haha!
