Tianyun Realm, Zhongsheng Continent, Qiantian Sect.
In the main hall, the sect leader Xiao Yan smashed a stone table in front of him with one palm.
Looking at the long-bearded old man in front of him, he said coldly: "What a bunch of trash. My son has been missing for so long and you haven't found him yet. What use do I have for you!"
"Sect Master, calm down."
In front of the stone table, Lu Minghui, the great elder of the outer sect, clasped his hands in his fists, half-bowed, cold sweat slipped from his forehead, and said hurriedly: "The demonic sea was extremely wide that day, and it was strange and unpredictable. The cross-sea flying boat had already been interrupted, and It is simply difficult for ordinary flying boats to cross it, and the three groups of troops sent before all had their soul cards shattered shortly after setting out to sea."
Having said this, he looked at a middle-aged man with a square face and black beard behind the sect leader, his eyes full of pleading.
Gu Chengtian, the elder of the inner sect, glanced at him and said calmly: "Sect Master, Elder Lu also told me about this matter. Today's Demonic Sea is indeed becoming more and more weird. Longhutang has tried to explore new routes, but they have failed. As a result, all cross-ocean routes are now disrupted."
"Since Elder Gu has testified for you, I will spare you for now."
Xiao Yan's face softened slightly after hearing this, he looked at Lu Minghui and said sternly: "Tomorrow I will activate the sect's teleportation array to help you go to Xilingzhou. You bring the three strongest people from the outer sect, and I will invite you again. There is a soul cultivator from the Ye family, please don’t let me down again.”
"Sect Master, no!"
Hearing this, Gu Chengtian hurriedly took a step forward, came to Xiao Yan's side, and said: "Every time one more person is teleported, a lot of spiritual stones will be spent. Those seniors in the ancient battlefield are all fighting for their lives and are unwilling to activate the execution method." The purpose of the killing formation is not to save some spiritual stones and cultivate more talents, but how can we squander it so much. Moreover, the abyss ghosts are getting stronger and stronger, and the sect is at a time when it is using people, so how can we let all the strong men from the outer sect come out."
"snort!"
Xiao Yan snorted coldly, glanced at him, and said angrily: "Gu Chengtian, as an elder, how can you say such a thing? Is my son's safety not worth these spiritual stones, and the abyss ghost?" It’s not my job to deal with the Tianzong family, other sects will have their own affairs to deal with.”
Lu Minghui rolled his eyes, raised his head slightly, and said, "Sect Master, if I personally take action this time, I will definitely bring back the young sect leader safely. It doesn't matter if a few people are missing."
Xiao Yan narrowed his eyes slightly, looked at Lu Minghui with a hint of warning, and said in a deep voice: "Just do your part. If you can't bring my son back safely this time, there is no need for you to come back. Yes.\"
Lu Minghui originally wanted to return Gu Chengtian's favor, but at this moment he could only answer helplessly: Yes! "\"
"Well, I will definitely uproot all the forces involved here. If I let anyone go, I will only ask you."
\"Please rest assured, Master, even if you risk your life, you will definitely fulfill your mission.\"
Hearing this, Gu Chengtian couldn't stand it any longer. He clasped his fists quickly and said: "Sect Master, wars are ongoing in various countries nowadays, and demons appear frequently in various places. Xiling Continent is no exception. If such a big war is launched, it will definitely happen in Xiling Continent." Cause chaos and give the demons an opportunity to take advantage."
"The Xiling Continent is just a barren land, and there are not a few spirit emperors. Even if they all disappear, it doesn't matter. The stability of the Skyfall Realm does not depend on them at all."
"Even so, will the hundreds of millions of people in Xilingzhou live in dire straits? And"
"The avenues are ruthless, but they are just untouchables, so why bother?"
"Why!"
Gu Chengtian sighed slightly, looked outside the hall, his eyes seemed to be through the void, looking at the far west land, and said: "Sect Master, please don't forget that Xiling Continent has been extremely mysterious since ancient times, and many forces dare not If you set foot here, the sect leader won’t be afraid of breaking any taboos.”
"Huh! It's just a rumor. Who has seen it? If they don't pay a heavy price this time, then where is the majesty of my Gantian Sect?"
Xiao Yan snorted coldly and glared at Gu Chengtian with great dissatisfaction.
Gu Chengtian wanted to say something more, but before he could speak, Xiao Yan flicked his sleeves, put one hand behind his back, and turned around.
In a voice that was extremely cold, he said: "I have made up my mind, Elder Gu doesn't need to say anything more."
Gu Chengtian shook his head, his face full of disappointment, and said secretly: "The sect has followed my path, and it is getting farther and farther. It is time to go its own way."
Thinking of this, he took a deep breath, slowly came to the entrance of the hall, and looked around the sect with a bit of reluctance in his eyes.
"Since the sect leader insists on having his own way, I have nothing to say. Wei'er has been in Nanhua Continent for some time. Now that trouble has arisen, I have to go out to find her.
Just when he was about to step out of the hall, he turned his face slightly and said, "I have been guarding the sect for thirty years. The kindness I owe you back then has long been repaid, and I will no longer participate in the sect's affairs in the future."
After saying that, he threw out the Elder Token, and before Xiao Yan could say anything, he stepped out and disappeared without a trace.
"you......"
Xiao Yan grabbed the token thrown at him and felt his teeth itch with hatred.
"Gu Chengtian, you think too highly of yourself."
He had nowhere to vent his anger, so he could only vent it towards Xilingzhou.
Looking at Lu Minghui aside, he said sternly: "Go and prepare now. We will set off in an hour."
...
Xilingzhou, Daliang Empire, Daliang City.
"Report, urgent military information."
"Quick pass!"
Inside the palace, a soldier trotted all the way to the main hall.
"Report, Emperor, the three cities in the northeast have been occupied by demons. The general requests the deployment of a hundred thousand troops."
In the main hall, the emperor looked solemnly, looking in the direction of the Sea of Demons, worried.
In the past few months, various ghosts and ghosts have appeared in Daliang territory one after another, which has never happened before.
In addition, all the major forces within the territory have experienced changes one after another.
Especially the demons in the Sea of Demons are constantly attacking the major cities along the coast.
Even neighboring countries that have never dared to go to war with Daliang have stationed troops on the border one after another, obviously ready for war.
At present, facing the sudden crisis in the three northeastern cities, it is obvious that there are no troops left to mobilize.
The emperor pondered for a while and then issued an order: "Deploy five thousand forbidden troops, and then recruit monks from all over the country to go to the three cities in the northeast to kill demons."
"Emperor, the imperial army must not leave the capital!"
An old man beside him hurriedly stopped him.
The emperor shook his head and said: "Daliang is now surrounded by enemies. The army cannot be mobilized at will. If we want to save our people from disaster, we can only mobilize the forbidden army."
At this moment, a sudden change occurred.
There was a loud noise that shook the ground.
"Huh? Such strong spiritual energy fluctuations..."
The emperor stood up hurriedly, came outside the hall, and looked in the direction of the sound.
In the Demonic Sea, dozens of miles offshore, a beam of light suddenly shot down from the sky.
The huge beam of light caused the sea several miles below to sink several feet.
The seawater suddenly rolled and surged in all directions, forming a circle of waves dozens of feet high.
Then, the space shook, five figures appeared out of thin air, and the light pillars dissipated.
