Having said this, the disciple looked depressed.

If he hadn't held them back, the two senior brothers wouldn't have died saving him, and they felt very guilty about it.

In the past few days, I have been unable to sleep at night, have difficulty eating and sleeping, and feel very exhausted.

After listening to his explanation, everyone present fell silent.

"Is it finally here?"

Qi Wuhui said solemnly that they had started discussing this topic a few months ago.

At that time, Ye Qiu told them that there was a crack deep in the no-man's land, which was a crack connecting to the other side of the strange world.

Some of the previous unrest was caused by this strange source.

Because of Gongsun Li's cruelty, the Eastern Wilderness is now in danger.

Once the source of weirdness erupts completely, the entire Eastern Wilderness may be swallowed by weirdness. At that time... a great purge may be about to come.

Now it seems that this Eastern Wilderness is more like a prison where people inside cannot escape and people outside cannot get in.

Everyone fell silent and looked at Meng Tianzheng silently.

He just said, "Yesterday, I went to check it out myself, and the void crack is indeed showing signs of collapse."

"The relic species in the no-man's land, the great beast, has been devoured by the weirdness and has gone completely berserk."

"Everyone, a great disaster may be about to happen."

Having said that, Meng Tianzheng glanced at the people around him. Everyone was silent and solemn.

"Now, this strange turmoil only occurs in the uninhabited area and has not yet affected us."

"However, this is only temporary. Once more great beasts are devoured, the situation will get out of control and gradually spread to the entire Eastern Wasteland."

"By then, it will be a devastating disaster, and no one in the entire Eastern Wasteland will be able to avoid it."

Hearing this, Lin Qingzhu's heart trembled, realizing the seriousness of the matter.

After thinking for a while, he thought that if the weirdness swallowed up the entire no-man's land, the ferocious beasts inside would run out and wreak havoc on the entire Eastern Wilderness.

By then, the world will be a purgatory, a purgatory of death.

And these holy places of the immortals cannot escape the danger of being attacked by ferocious beasts.

Once the beast tide breaks out, the entire Qinchuan may be surrounded, and at that time... the Butian Sect will also become the target of attack.

Because Qinchuan is located relatively close to Guangling City, it is also easy to become a target of attack.

Lin Qingzhu is very panicked now. She doesn’t know about other mountains, but she is very clear about the situation of Zixia Peak.

Now that the master is not here, there is no one in charge except the three of them.

Once attacked, with only the three of them, Zixia Peak might be the first to be breached.

After thinking quickly in his mind, Lin Qingzhu seemed to have made up his mind.

Hold on till the end!

I thought about it for a while and urgently sought a solution.

After thinking about it, Lin Qingzhu breathed a sigh of relief, and finally figured it out...

According to the headmaster, it will take some time before the situation gets out of control.

It just so happened that she was now within reach of ninth-grade perfection and had also achieved that state of mind.

As long as you take advantage of this period of time to retreat, you can break through to the Shenzang realm. By then, your chances of holding on should be greater.

What's more, she has an ace up her sleeve.

Compared to Lin Qingzhu, Liu Ruyan's face suddenly turned pale.

Compared with Zixia Peak, Tianshui Peak seems to be more vulnerable.

Because of the geographical location of Zixia Peak, it is relatively high and easy to defend but difficult to attack.

There is also the magic circle set up by Taoist Xuantian back then, which was later improved by Ye Qiu, making it relatively easier to defend.

As for Tianshui Peak, it might be more difficult.

Without Mingyue, it would be impossible for them to defend the city with only a few elders and a group of disciples...

If a monster greater than the leader were to strike, it would be a devastating blow.

Meng Tianzheng's words made the whole audience quiet.

Seeing their solemn expressions, Meng Tianzheng glanced around and continued, "In order to prevent any disasters, from today on, I have decided to... activate the mountain protection formation."

"All disciples are not allowed to leave the mountain unless there is something special."

"All disciples who are training outside are recalled and are not allowed to stay outside."

"In addition to this mountain protection formation, you also need to activate the formations of your various clans to provide a double layer of defense."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone responded quickly.

"Follow the Master's instructions..."

After a moment of silence, Qi Wuhui asked again, "Brother, what about the disciple-recruiting ceremony next spring?"

At present, they are waiting for this grand ceremony to replenish fresh blood.

No one expected that something like this would happen suddenly, and it really caught them off guard.

Fortunately, it was discovered early. If it was discovered when the disaster was about to happen, it might be too late to deploy.

What the leaders are more concerned about is whether the most grand disciple-recruiting ceremony of the Butian Sect can be held in the early spring of next year?

If it cannot be held, then this trip to Genting Mountain will be in vain.

I have made a name for myself, but in the end I can't even get a single disciple. What a shame.

Meng Tianzheng also pondered for a while, then said: "Well... there should still be enough time, let's hold it as scheduled."

"I have just sent several elders to the uninhabited area to investigate the situation. It is still in a stable period."

"It's a good opportunity for you to make good arrangements during this period of time. Whether or not we can preserve this lineage of inheritance depends on how you do it..."

"good!"

Everyone responded in unison and returned to their respective mountains with solemn expressions.

This meeting of the seven clan leaders has come to an end.

Lin Qingzhu was completely dazed at this moment, and only came to his senses after returning to Zixia Peak.

Hurrying back to Zixia Peak, Lin Qingzhu went straight into the Qianqing Palace, and Zhao Wan'er soon brought Xiao Linglong in.

Seeing her frown, he quickly asked, "Sister, what happened?"

She had never seen Lin Qingzhu with such an expression, and Zhao Wan'er immediately had bad thoughts in her mind.

Lin Qingzhu did not hide anything and explained to her what had just happened in Yuqing Palace.

Zhao Wan'er's face suddenly turned pale. She knew very well what the scene would be like in the entire Eastern Wilderness once this disaster broke out.

"Senior Sister, what should we do now? Our Master hasn't come out of seclusion yet. Can we hold on with just the three of us?"

Lin Qingzhu also had a headache. He looked back at the tablets of ancestors behind him and hardened his heart.

"Defend it, even if you can't defend it..."

She said in a firm tone: "No matter what, this is our home. This is the Taoist tradition that our master has entrusted to us. No matter what, we cannot abandon it..."

"We must defend this even at the cost of our lives. We cannot lose an inch of land before our master comes out of seclusion."

Hearing her firm words, Zhao Wan'er immediately gained confidence and said, "Okay, Senior Sister, just give me your orders. Linglong and I will definitely cooperate with you to defend Zixia Peak..."

"Yes, Senior Sister, if you have something to say, just tell me. Linglong will be obedient."

Xiao Linglong didn't realize what was happening, but she vaguely guessed that there might be a fight, and she became very excited.

She has been holding it in for months and has never had a fight, so she can't wait.

Looking at her excited expression, Lin Qingzhu smiled inwardly. She almost forgot.

There is also a bug-level character in Zixia Peak.

At that time, if we really can’t hold on, we can just start the show.

Thinking of this, I felt a sense of guilt inside, as if I was addicted to acting.

This girl is really not in vain. She really comes to help when there is something going on.

Eh... isn't this a bit too much?

If they do this once or twice too often, Xiao Linglong might not believe them anymore.

But fortunately, she is still young and can be deceived for the time being. When she gets older, it will probably be harder to deceive her.

"Um……"

After pondering for a moment, Lin Qingzhu finally decided: "Okay, I think I know what to do."

Standing up, Lin Qingzhu walked to the tablets of the ancestors and respectfully lit three incense sticks.

After offering sacrifices, he turned around and said, "Wan'er, come... follow me to activate the mountain protection formation."

"good……"

Zhao Wan'er knew about the mountain protection formation, but this formation would not be activated under normal circumstances.

It will only be opened by the chief monk himself when the mountain is in danger. No one else has the right or ability to open it.

As the first heir, Lin Qingzhu is qualified, and Ye Qiu has already taught her how to open it.

The three of them left the Qianqing Palace and came to a stone tablet on the top of the mountain.

Lin Qingzhu walked over with a serious expression, slowly took out the Zixia Sword from his hand, and inserted it on top of the stone tablet.

The spiritual power of the whole body was instantly promoted, and a powerful force was injected into the stone tablet.

"Wow……"

I saw a purple light rising into the sky, so bright that Xiao Linglong's eyes sparkled and she couldn't help shouting.

"So beautiful..."

As a powerful force spread out, in an instant... a purple screen covered the entire Zixia Peak.

When this light curtain fell, the mountain protection formation was officially activated.

The terrifying sword intent hovering in the sky rolled up dark clouds. All the people in the Butian Sect were shocked by this sudden change.

They all sighed.

"Is this the mountain protection formation of Zixia Peak? It is indeed terrifying..."

"That formation actually contains a sword power of Uncle Ye. Such a terrifying sword power would be hard to break even for a leader-level beast, right?"

After witnessing such amazing sword intent, everyone felt envious.

If they also had this kind of mountain protection formation, the subsequent defense would be relatively much simpler.

Unfortunately, they didn't...

As Meng Tianzheng's decree came down, disciples from all branchs began to get busy, preparing in advance for the upcoming tough battle.

No one knows what will be discovered in the future, so we can only make the best preparations as possible. Only in this way can we survive.

In Zixia Peak, after Lin Qingzhu inserted the Zixia Sword into the stone tablet, he looked up at the raging sword intent in the sky and was very surprised.

"I didn't expect that the mountain protection formation of my Zixia Peak would be so terrifying..."

"It seems that the trump card that Master left behind will not be of any use."

She thought excitedly in her heart, but in order to prevent any trouble, she decided to go into seclusion for a period of time and strive for the Shenzang realm.

Otherwise, if something unexpected happens, it will be troublesome...
