Upon receiving the news, the sect leader immediately convened an emergency meeting of all the cultivation sects.
The Grand Elder's side was unable to repel the demons; instead, their men suffered countless casualties and continued to retreat. They were about to reach the border town of the human world. If this continued, the demons would conquer one town after another.
Everyone was arguing fiercely.
Some people want to escape, some want to be suppressed, and most want to hide.
Some people also want to use the White Dragon as a sacrifice again.
The situation is so dire that some of the smaller sects have been captured by demons.
The black mist went on a killing spree within that sect, directly slapping the faces of the cultivators and proclaiming to the world: even if you have cultivators, you are helpless against us.
Inside the main hall.
"We can't delay any longer. If we're surrounded by demons in the cultivation world, we'll all perish here!"
"We must set up a magic array across the three realms to separate those demons. If we can't protect the mortal world, we must at least protect our cultivation world. If no one covers the retreat, then there will be no way to survive in the future."
"How can you say such a thing? The Three Realms are inseparable. If we abandon the mortal world today, how will we ascend to heaven in the future?"
"Then what do you suggest we do?"
“I think we can sacrifice the white dragon and continue to suppress it using the old formation. If the white dragon is born once, there will definitely be a second time.”
"But we have no idea how to activate the formation! Those formations were lost to our predecessors long ago!"
"Those powerful figures who have secluded themselves from the world are either dead or nowhere to be found."
The sect leader's face was extremely ugly. Among them were his sect's disciples, as well as the elders and disciples who were risking their lives on the front lines, but none of them took them seriously.
They abandon things as they please, they sacrifice themselves for their own survival.
That's their little white dragon, what business is it of these people's!
These people are really too selfish.
"Enough!" he roared. "When it came to allocating resources and spiritual energy, you were all rushing to help the children. Now that we need you to make sacrifices and save people, all you're thinking about are crooked ways and hiding away to live your own lives."
Are you still just people who enjoy leisure? What about righteousness? Do you even deserve it?
Everyone shut up, and no one dared to refute.
They knew that the sect leader of the Heavenly Mystery Sect was angry, and he was the one with the highest cultivation among them.
"And what do you mean? You want us to sacrifice the White Dragon? Heh, you're the one who wanted to eat flesh and blood, and now that you can't have it, you want to destroy it." Red Star, the Lord of Guixu, slammed his fist on the table and cursed loudly in dissatisfaction.
The sect leader also made a harsh statement: "I'm telling you right now, anyone who wants to sacrifice the White Dragon will have to step over my dead body first."
Xiao Bai is a disciple of my Heavenly Mystery Sect. She is under the sect's protection every day. Anyone who dares to harm her will have to get past me first. A bunch of useless trash.”
The sect leader of the Xuanwu Sect also stood by his side: "In this critical moment, instead of thinking about solving the problem properly, he shirks responsibility and fantasizes about making the younger generation sacrifice themselves to bring peace to the world."
"You have the nerve to say that?"
Everyone looked unhappy, but they were all seething with anger inside.
The sect leader, however, was too lazy to pay attention to their little schemes and continued, "If any sects are unwilling to face the demons, just speak up. Other sects, if you can send people, then send people; if you can't, then provide support from the rear, whether it's supplies or rescuing people."
Whether we can survive this great calamity depends on whether we can unite; otherwise, we can only wait to die.
"The situation is now very clear: the demon army has reached the vicinity of the border towns and is continuing to spread and invade the Central Plains."
I'm not afraid to tell you, if we don't resolve this quickly, we'll all be waiting to die. Don't blame us for being ruthless and giving you a way out. Once the monsters wipe us all out, we'll all die together.
After saying that, he turned and left, leaving the others looking at each other in bewilderment.
Who would have thought that simply suggesting a method of sacrificing the white dragon would anger the sect leader of the Heavenly Mystery Sect, who treated it like some precious treasure? Tch.
"What righteousness? It's nothing but cowardice. You could have just sacrificed a pretty boy to settle things, but you insisted on risking your life and putting yourself in danger. Only a fool would do that. I, the sect leader, will not allow it. Do whatever you want."
Anyway, their sect isn't on the border, it's far away. If they just set up a barrier to isolate them, what are they afraid of demons invading?
What business is it of his?
Whether they live or die, it's best to kill all the monsters and be happy, then you won't need to come looking for them!
The person who first proposed the solution also quit and left in a huff.
Everyone else could see that this person had failed to get a share of the White Dragon's cup and had even been pointed at and scolded, so he left in anger.
The remaining people looked at each other, and eventually left.
This incident caused quite a stir, and everyone was unhappy about it, but with disaster looming, who cared about being unhappy or not?
It's better than dying a miserable and painful death, isn't it?
However, these sect leaders were all old guys who had been around for thousands of years and understood the efforts and sacrifices made by the Tianji Sect during this period. They all tacitly agreed not to bring up the matter of sacrificing the white dragon again.
They were genuinely doing this for their own good and for the good of the Three Realms, yet they not only didn't appreciate it, but instead made veiled accusations and sarcastic remarks, and even wanted to sacrifice their disciples. That's truly inhuman.
But the situation at the front is dire. The Grand Elder and all the supporting cultivators, numbering over ten thousand, have suffered heavy casualties...
There are fewer than three thousand cultivators left.
At this moment, Xiyin is protecting her junior brothers and sisters and saving people. She is one of the few pillars of the sect and a sword cultivator, and also the one who has advanced the fastest.
She emerged from seclusion early this time, just in time for the sect to send people to provide support, allowing her, as the eldest disciple, to go and protect her junior brothers and sisters.
But once I got here, I realized what a living hell was, a true ordeal.
Everywhere was a scene of carnage and inferno. Her deceased junior sister lay in her arms, her body reduced to a skeleton—a horrifying sight. Even the once-powerful elders could not escape this fate, enduring attacks from demons far exceeding their own strength for the sake of their disciples.
Xi Yin gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with intense hostility.
Clinging to her last glimmer of hope, she went to the nearest Grand Elder, the once-renowned Forbidden City Immortal Elder. Their situation had improved somewhat, but not by much.
It can be said that the people who came to support us here were saved from total annihilation only because the Grand Elder held them up.
Cultivators are nothing but a joke in the face of these demonic creatures!
After decades or even centuries of painstaking repair, they have become nothing more than fertilizer for the black mist. Former mortal enemies who fought over resources have now become close friends who fight each other back to back.
They have no way out; if they don't try their best to deal with it, they're just waiting to die.
"Why haven't the reinforcements arrived yet? It's been almost ten days since the message was sent back. If this continues, I'm afraid we won't be able to hold out." Xiyin sat on the ground to rest. The bloodstains and demonic aura all over her body made her feel very uncomfortable and exhausted.
