The Immortal Realm Alliance is an alliance formed by the Eight Major Sects and many small sects.
Since the East Sea was occupied by the Endless Demon Domain, the Alliance sent people to seal off the entire East Sea territory, establishing several blockade lines to prevent demonic creatures from rampaging into human territory.
However, due to the vast area, completely sealing off the entire East Sea required a large number of disciples.
Therefore, most of the disciples guarding the blockade lines came from small sects, while the Eight Major Sects only needed to send a few high-end combatants to garrison.
Nowadays, frequent problems at the blockade lines had made the big shots of the Eight Major Sects realize that those small sects were not very reliable.
“No, inner sect disciples are our hope. If we send them all to guard the blockade lines, that will cut off our sect’s future. Besides, whether the problem lies with the blockade lines remains to be discussed.”
Shen Qingqing and Liu Fufeng sat cross-legged on meditation cushions, calmly watching the elders and sect leaders argue.
“Sister Qingqing, these old geezers are really noisy.” Liu Fufeng dug at her ear, her expression full of disgust.
Shen Qingqing smiled slightly and did not reply.
“Oh? It seems Elder Liu has an opinion on this matter. Why not speak up so we can all discuss?” The speaker was a female elder from Yihua Palace.
This Yihua elder was dressed in white, her hair white as snow, her cold and proud gaze fixed directly on Liu Fufeng. The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, showing a hint of disdain.
“Yu Linglong, are your skin itching again?”
Who was Liu Fufeng? She was a healer who believed fists could solve everything. Naturally, she would not give a good face to this sarcastic Yihua elder, and immediately glared back fiercely.
Not convinced? Not convinced, then let’s fight.
Once Liu Fufeng spoke, the entire hall fell silent.
Whether it was the Tianxiang Sect or Yihua Palace, both held high status in the Alliance, with the former being the most prominent.
Almost everyone in the Alliance knew that Yihua Palace had been unhappy with Tianxiang Sect for a long time. In various meetings of the Alliance, there would always be bickering, and they were used to it.
Every time they bickered, Yihua Palace lost.
But they just wouldn’t back down. They fought and lost repeatedly, and still had not won a single time.
“Hmph, big chest but no brain.” Yu Linglong in white did not argue with her much. Her real opponent was never Liu Fufeng, but the person beside her.
Shen Qingqing’s mind was not in the hall, nor on Yu Linglong. She gazed into the distance outside the hall, somewhat absent-minded. ‘At this time, that girl should have arrived at Tianxin Pavilion, right?’
When Yu Linglong saw that Shen Qingqing did not even deign to look at her, she instantly became furious.
But she did not dare to provoke her actively, so she could only hold in her anger and glare at Shen Qingqing with a killing look.
“Yu Linglong, I challenge you to a Dao discussion and sparring!!!”
In the hall, Liu Fufeng’s voice was deafening.
Qinghong Daoist slapped his forehead.
This girl Liu was at it again.
Dao discussion and sparring, in plain terms, meant a duel.
Duels among cultivators were very normal, but this Liu Fufeng would pull this trick almost every Alliance meeting, aiming her cannon directly at Yihua Palace, bombarding wildly.
She kept provoking them until they got angry and agreed.
He remembered a few years ago, it was still the Yihua Palace Sect Leader Xian Le who ended up fighting with her. If not for Yue Qifang stepping in to stop the duel…
“Ahem, alright. The Immortal Realm is fraught with danger these days. Elder Liu, do not act impulsively.”
“Oh.” Liu Fufeng replied with a single word and sat down.
—
Qinghong Daoist held great prestige among the Eight Major Sects. If she didn’t give him face, not only would Senior Sister Qifang cause trouble for her when she returned, but even Shen Qingqing beside her would lecture her. The loss would outweigh the gain.
Liu Fufeng grew angry just looking at Yu Linglong’s disdainful expression. ‘I just learned a new boxing technique. Can I take this kind of insult?’
‘Watch me punch that fox-faced face of hers to a pulp.’
Unfortunately, she was stopped by that old man Qinghong. Hmph!
Liu Fufeng’s voice also snapped Shen Qingqing’s attention back.
She revealed a kind and amiable smile, glanced at Liu Fufeng, and the latter immediately behaved much more obediently.
—
Then, Shen Qingqing looked over at Yu Linglong on the opposite side. She didn’t say much, just a scrutinizing gaze was enough to scare Yu Linglong from meeting her eyes. Right, what were we talking about just now?
Oh, the blockade line.
Shen Qingqing cupped one hand in the other toward Qinghong Daoist, the Shushan Sect Leader, and spoke: “Daoist Qinghong, this junior believes the issue of the blockade line can be set aside for now. We should first deal with the demonic creatures in the Immortal Realm and the Great Song territory to avoid casualties.”
“This seat believes that is wrong. If the problem of the blockade line is not resolved, these demonic creatures will continuously break through the blockade lines, and then the scourge of demonic creatures will become even more severe.”
Shen Qingqing glanced at the speaker, who was a Shaolin elder, and did not pay him any attention.
Besides, that bald donkey did have a point.
“Both of you make sense. Then we should proceed on both fronts simultaneously: one side handles the blockade line, wait—”
At that moment, Qinghong suddenly received a Thousand Li Transmission that made his expression change drastically.
Seeing his expression turn wrong, everyone hurriedly asked what had happened.
“How could this be!!!” Qinghong’s tone was filled with disbelief, along with some worry.
“Daoist Qinghong, what happened that has you so alarmed?” Shen Qingqing asked.
“Sigh.” Qinghong let out a sigh.
“Just now, I received a Thousand Li Transmission from a disciple. That boy said that the demonic creatures cannot be eliminated.”
Everyone was startled, then looked puzzled.
Cannot be eliminated?
What does that mean?
Seeing their confused expressions, Qinghong explained one by one: “After those demonic creatures are killed, they reappear after a period of time, and their aura is exactly the same. This seat’s disciple can confirm that they are the same demonic creature.”
As soon as these words were spoken, the entire hall fell into dead silence.
Everyone looked at each other in fear. Didn’t that mean the problem of the demonic creatures could never be solved?
Shen Qingqing’s face darkened. If this demonic creature problem was not solved, Xiao Yan would be in danger.
That reckless girl, she kept running outside the sect every day. It was hard to avoid an accident.
“What should be done?”
“Impossible. How is this possible? Such a thing has never been heard of.”
“Hearing Daoist Qinghong describe the characteristics of this demonic creature, it reminds me of something.”
Everyone quickly looked at this old senior from the Tang Clan.
“Don’t you think this demonic creature is somewhat similar to the new disciples? Of course, I’m not saying the new disciples have anything to do with the demon domain. But we could use the new disciples to campaign against these new demonic creatures. At least it avoids casualties.”
These words were like a stone falling into calm water, stirring up a huge wave in everyone’s hearts.
If they used inner sect disciples to fight these demonic creatures, there would definitely be casualties. But the outer sect new disciples…
The resurrection mechanism of players was no longer a secret in the Immortal Realm. It was a well-known fact that could not be concealed.
“This plan is excellent. It’s equivalent to training those little brats.”
“This seat was thinking of using seals to solve it, but with so many demonic creatures, that plan is also not suitable. Sect Master Tang’s plan is much better.”
