Upon hearing the bell, Li Dazhi put aside the affairs at hand and hurried toward the main peak atop a cloud.
His cultivation being slightly lower, by the time he reached the main peak, all the elders and peak masters had already assembled in the grand hall, seated in four orderly rows on both sides, all turning their gaze to Li Dazhi.
Li Dazhi bowed left and right, quickly walking to take his seat on the left-hand side of the Sect Leader, amongst a few of the most senior inner-sect elders.
The Sect Leader sighed and handed a jade talisman to Li Dazhi.
The jade talisman was stained with a trace of fresh blood.
Li Dazhi was also startled, hurriedly cradling the jade talisman and glancing inside.
[Urgent aid for the sect!
Many demonic cultivators have suddenly appeared on the southwest border of the Immortal Dynasty, attacking villages and towns, and abducting souls.
We have started to engage them in battle, but unexpectedly among the demonic cultivators, a great demon was hiding and launched a surprise attack while we were unprepared.
Ouyang City’s Meng Qinghang and Li Yishui, three True Immortal enforcers, were killed by the great demon in an ambush, while a border encampment of one hundred thousand soldiers was wiped out in an instant; we had no choice but to retreat for the time being.
Moreover, underground formations have detected lingering demon aura, and it seems a great demon has infiltrated the Immortal Dynasty.
We ask for immediate reinforcement from the sect!]
Li Dazhi was immediately enraged,
“How dare the Demon Race harm mortals!”
“Don’t panic,” the Sect Leader said with a frown, “At the same time that the jade talisman was sent, several of our Heavenly Immortal elders have already rushed to the Immortal Dynasty.
There are many demonic cultivators and members of the Demon Race who are in collusion, and they often launch surprise attacks all over the place.”
An elder said, “There’s no time to lose, let’s go over now too.”
After contemplating for a few moments, the Sect Leader quickly said, “Several elders, you go first with ten Heavenly Immortals, sixty True Immortals, and three hundred Yuan Immortals for reinforcement, focusing on rescuing people and expelling demons.”
Several inner-sect elders stood up to take their orders, and the peak masters immediately began mobilizing their forces.
They moved rapidly, and in just a moment, hundreds of streaks of light shot out of the sect gate, and under the spellcasting of over ten Heavenly Immortal elders, they flew together toward the Southern Continent.
The Sect Leader seemed to hesitate, looking up at Li Dazhi and speaking in a low voice, “Junior Brother Dazhi, should we call for Ping’an to come over?”
Li Dazhi was taken aback for a moment but then remembered that there was a Great Power in the sect waiting for Ping’an’s trial trip.
But today’s incident was no ordinary trial; it was a war between the human Qi Cultivators and a horde of demons and monsters.
The Wanyun Sect had already lost three True Immortals, and one hundred thousand mortal soldiers had met a tragic end.
There was even a great demon infiltrated into the Immortal Dynasty…
“Sect Leader,” Li Dazhi said in a hushed tone, “Ping’an is but a junior disciple of our sect, how could he come here to discuss such matters?”
The Sect Leader spoke gravely,
“If these demonic cultivators and monsters were only looting the border, then all we would have to do afterward is pursue and kill them.
“But if this group of demonic cultivators and monsters continuously attacks inward, we will need to deploy not just the forces from various peaks but also disciples above the Void Refinement Realm from both the inner and outer sect.
They will either assist in the evacuation of major cities or maintain the formations at the Royal City.
“Ping’an is exceptionally intelligent and adept at commanding on the spot, presenting an invaluable opportunity to showcase his wisdom.”
The Sect Leader spoke telepathically,
“If Ping’an moves out, that predecessor would also make a move.
What are you afraid of?”
Li Dazhi nodded slowly upon hearing this.
Meanwhile, the Sect Leader had already ordered the attendants waiting outside the hall to go down to Daozang Hall and seek Li Ping’an.
Just then, two jade talismans arrived from the south.
Before entering the great formation, they were seized by the Immortals guarding the sect gate and hurriedly brought to Wanyun Hall.
The Sect Leader took the jade talismans and glanced at them; his expression changed several times.
The second jade talisman was still from the Immortal Dynasty, following up on the events previously reported.
Dozens of great demons suddenly appeared outside the mundane Royal City.
The good news was that the city’s Great Formation had been activated, which could momentarily hold off these great demons.
The bad news was that the Great Formation was precarious; even with the joint efforts of several Heavenly Immortals and dozens of True Immortals to stabilize the formation, it would not withstand the onslaught of the group of demons for more than an hour or two.
The third jade talisman came from the shores of the East Sea, information urgently gathered by several Wanyun Sect enforcers that a large number of demonic cultivators and monsters were heading towards the Immortal Dynasty, claiming that there was the appearance of both the Xuanyuan bloodline and secret treasures.
Sect Leader Yun Mo and all the elders and peak masters were stunned, facing a puzzle.
If the Immortal Dynasty possessed such things, how come their leading Immortal Sect was unaware?
the Sect Leader said solemnly,
“The reinforcements have just left, and they will reach their destination within two hours…
Masters of Rising Sun Peak, Ice Cloud Peak, Condensed Cloud Peak, Kaiyun Peak, and Master of Caiyun Peak, where are you?”
Five experienced Heavenly Immortal peak masters in Magical Combat stood up to take their orders:
“I must trouble you all!”
Sect Leader Yun Mo ordered firmly,
“With so many great demons, there must be a Demon Race power behind them.
They are directly targeting the Royal City, certainly with a plot in mind, and I’m afraid there might be an ambush awaiting our Wanyun Sect’s reinforcements on the way!
“You must quickly take the experts from each peak, and as the second wave of reinforcements, follow up from behind!
“Additionally, activate the Mountain Protection Array at full strength, and have the outer-sect elders intensify patrols near the sect gate!”
The five peak masters turned into arcs of rainbow light, shooting towards their respective peaks.
Floating in mid-air, they began summoning their fellow Daoists.
Dozens of beams of light flew out from the main peak, passing the Mountain Protection Array and patrolling back and forth within several hundred miles of the sect gate.
The Mountain Protection Array itself transitioned from its original thin and smooth ‘energy-saving state’ to radiate thick celestial light.
Sect Leader Yun Mo paced back and forth, considering if anything had been overlooked.
Li Dazhi suddenly stamped his foot and stood up shouting, “Sect Leader!
Send me over there too!
I have Great Fortune!
Perhaps I could turn the tide of misfortune over there!”
The Sect Leader said decisively, “The Ancestor has strict orders: you may not venture out until you become a Heavenly Immortal!”
Li Dazhi exclaimed in frustration,
