Chapter 778 - 90: The First Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Alliance Assembly!

Chapter 778: Chapter 90: The First Eastern Wilderness Cultivation Alliance Assembly!

Now in the Eastern Wilderness, there are still seventeen areas of Ghostly Mist that have not been dealt with,

and ghosts are continuously spreading from them, attacking the territories of human cultivators. Many regions have already turned into Ghost Realms.

Zhou Xun, though powerful, cannot fight on all fronts,

and it’s already commendable that he can protect the core regions under his command.

But to solve all problems, it requires the concentrated strength of the entire Eastern Wilderness.

"What the master says is true,"

"Right now, only the sect forces near those Ghostly Mist areas are making a full effort to resist, while other sects remain onlookers."

"If this keeps on, the territory occupied by the Ghostly Mist will grow larger and eventually everyone will be unable to escape!" Xu Shaoqing nodded and said.

"If the Island Master takes the lead, this Cultivator Alliance should not be a problem!" Weih Qiuxin said.

"In that case, you should send envoys to notify all the Core Formation sects in the Eastern Wilderness that a grand alliance meeting will be held a month and a half later in my Wangchuan Immortal City!" Zhou Xun decided with finality.

"Yes!"

The three of them cupped their hands in agreement, then left the Jingxin Pavilion.

Soon, over a hundred envoys carried True Monarch Zhou’s decree to deliver the message to various Core Formation sects across the Eastern Wilderness.

At the same time, Zhou Xun himself left Wangchuan Lake,

and during this interval of a month and a half, he intended to visit Dongqi City to see firsthand what the current state of the Ghostly Mist was.

...

In Dongqi City, at the Dongyang Sect’s station, four Core Formation cultivators gathered to discuss response strategies.

They knew about Master Dongye’s fall immediately after it happened.

Subsequently, the late-stage Core Formation Grand Elder, Master Dongping, personally went to investigate. Seeing the ghostly mist as dark as ink,

even he dared not rashly enter.

"Now that the ghost outbreak has occurred, its spread has accelerated rapidly, extending a thousand miles in a short time,"

"At this rate, in less than two months, it will reach the gates of Dongqi City!"

A middle-aged man with a high crown said worriedly.

"Yes, Dongqi City is where we spent a great price to successfully set up a Teleportation Array, and it was just beginning to develop,"

"Who would have thought that in just a few years, we would face the threat of the Ghostly Mist again? Is it really so difficult for us to rejuvenate our sect?" Another middle-aged man replied, frustration in his words.

"What if we join forces to strike and eliminate those ghosts?" At this, a calm-faced young man slowly spoke.

He was Master Dongyuan, the most gifted person in the Dongyang Sect in nearly a thousand years, with a Spirit Root Sensitivity of seventy-eight points for earth attributes.

At just over a hundred years old, he already had Core Formation cultivation.

The decision to take out the Void Profound Crystal from the sect’s Secret Vault and ask Zhou Xun to set up the Teleportation Array was also driven by him,

and he now served as the City Lord of Dongqi City.

"Impossible!" Master Dongping at the head shook his head,

"I personally investigated, and there are numerous ghosts inside. If we enter the mist range,"

"the ghosts would attack like moths to a flame, one after another,"

"And their ghost qi has a corrosive effect on our spiritual power. Therefore, once surrounded by them,"

"Even I would find it not so easy to escape,"

"This is also why Brother Dongye perished among them."

"Then what should we do, just watch the Ghostly Mist swallow the entire Dongqi City?" The young man expressed some unwillingness.

"What if we ask True Monarch Zhou to take action?"

"If he can solve many of the Ghostly Mist areas in the Eastern Wilderness, he’d certainly have a way for this one too."

"Or we could offer Dongqi City’s future profits as a price. What do you think?" The young man continued.

"Even if only one or two tenths of the profits remain, it’s better than a complete fall!"

"This... True Monarch Wangchuan is already the foremost in the Eastern Wilderness. If we give him an excuse to take charge of Dongqi City,"

"Will this Immortal City still belong to our Dongyang Sect in the future?" The middle-aged man in a high crown said.

"If we can really invite True Monarch Wangchuan to take action, what does it matter if we lose ninety percent of Dongqi City’s profits?"

"You must know, once True Monarch Zhou accepts, it means we become their ally,"

"Then, in the entire eastern region, who can compare with us?" Master Dongping slowly said.

Just at this moment, a notification came from outside the door.

"Reporting to the ancestor, an envoy from Wangchuan Lake has arrived!"

Hearing this, everyone was overjoyed,

"Please, invite them in quickly!"

A simple-looking, honest-faced young man slowly walked in,

"I am Zhou Ping, here on behalf of True Monarch Wangchuan, to deliver his decree!"

Upon hearing this, everyone stood up and came to the young man’s front,

"By decree of the True Monarch, this seat has decided to hold an Eastern Wilderness Alliance on September 15 of this year in Wangchuan Immortal City, to discuss how to deal with the Ghostly Mist together!"

Hearing this, Master Dongping stepped forward to receive the decree,

"Our Dongyang Sect will definitely attend on time!"

"Then thank you, elder, I shall take my leave!" Saying this, the young man was about to leave.

Master Dongping smiled and said warmly:

"I find your appearance very familiar, very similar to Alchemist Zhou, the great disciple of the True Monarch. Could it be..."

Hearing this, the young man nodded:

"The master has a keen eye, the Alchemist you speak of is indeed my father!"

"So you’re the True Monarch Zhou’s grand-disciple, my apologies, may I ask your full name?" Master Dongping asked courteously.

"I am Zhou Ping!"

"So, you are the second son of Alchemist Zhou. Please have a seat, Zhou Xiaoyou rarely visits here, we certainly must show our hospitality!"

Now, which major power in the Eastern Wilderness does not know,
