Chapter 506: Chapter 236 There’s a Demon Coming from the East_2
“Not at all, not at all.”
Xia Xuanran smiled, casually fanning himself twice: “Chief Luo has finally arrived. Today’s Tianqu Sword event is quite the spectacle, even attracting the attention of the Demon Sect.
“Now, with matters undecided, we indeed need Chief Luo to come and stabilize the situation.”
Luo Changsheng cursed inwardly.
Although the Seven Great Sects always present a united front when dealing with the Demon Sect,
there are some minor internal contentions among them.
Xiaoyao Pavilion, though named ’leisurely’, actually enjoys stirring up these internal disputes.
Especially this Xia Xuanran, although a scholar, his skill with incisive and ambiguous words, rarely falls short.
Compared to him, Zhuo Dongming doesn’t seem so hateful.
The Second Palace Master of Lengyue Palace is straightforward and fiery, easy to deal with.
Wei Chimeng of Zhenwu Hall seems a brute but is cleverly insightful.
Xuanyuan Xiaoshan and the little monk Xuanzhen from Jingchan Temple, however, seem somewhat naive.
Xuanyuan Xiaoshan is the Holy Daughter of Tianxin Sect, the next candidate for Sect Master.
Her coming to Tianqu City is also for gaining experience, making the Tianqu Sword event timely.
As for Xuanzhen… the origins of this little monk have not been clarified by Jingchan Temple.
But despite his young age, being of the ’Xuan’ generation, he must not be underestimated.
Thoughts arose in his mind, then calmed down again.
Luo Changsheng gave a mild smile:
“Although Tianqu City is currently managed by Yuan Shan Sword Sect, it only involves handling minor and miscellaneous matters.
“If the Demon Sect’s Evil People really attacked, not to mention myself, Luo Changsheng,
“Even Yuan Shan Sword Sect would not dare to monopolize the response.
“Brother Xia, you flatter me too much.”
Xia Xuanran just smiled, snapped his fan shut, and did not speak further.
Luo Changsheng casually inquired: “What’s the situation now? Since you all arrived earlier than me, do you have any new findings?”
“The situation seems quite dire.”
Zhuo Dongming stroked his goat beard, looking outside Tianqu City:
“Although the people from Jile Heavenly Palace haven’t arrived, there are quite a few from Youquan Sect and Eternal Night Valley.
“However, mainly people from Eternal Night Valley…
“After all, Rain Cold Valley is already in our control, even if someone from Youquan Sect managed to cross Rain Cold Valley and Qingxiu Mountain to reach Tianqu City.
“The numbers wouldn’t be large.”
Luo Changsheng nodded, but his brow furrowed deeply.
Since Youquan Sect lost ground in the Southwest, with Qingxiu Mountain and Rain Cold Valley taken by the Dongcheng Sects.
People from the Seven Great Sects have always been stationed in these two places.
However, since then, Youquan Sect has merely withdrawn to Chimei Forest to recuperate and has not attempted to retake these areas.
Even when Night Lord previously led an attack on Tianqu City, the Righteous Path experts stationed in Qingxiu Mountain and Rain Cold Valley also moved to block the retreat route through Eternal Night Valley.
Thus weakening the defense of Rain Cold Valley and Qingxiu Mountain.
The final decision was to gather the remaining defense forces in Rain Cold Valley to fend off any feint attacks from Dongcheng Demon Sect.
But… Youquan Sect still made no movement.
Leaving the Dongcheng Sects guarding in vain.
After this, Dongcheng Sects relaxed their guard over both Qingxiu Mountain and Rain Cold Valley.
Started considering whether to take over Chimei Forest.
However, on this point, the Seven Great Sects have differing opinions.
It’s not that they worry about provoking counterattacks from the Three Great Demon Sects.
The territories of the three sects differ and are disconnected by natural barriers.
This also means that after seizing Qingxiu Mountain and Rain Cold Valley, neither Eternal Night Valley nor Jile Heavenly Palace could aid Youquan Sect.
If they really could take over Chimei Forest, using the geographical advantage, they would still only need to confront Youquan Sect.
However, every attempt has been thwarted by the Three Flag Order in Chimei Forest.
And any attempts to penetrate deeper into Chimei Forest were fraught with difficulties.
Chimei Forest, having been cultivated by Youquan Sect over many years, was perilously defended.
After several attempts, many from the Seven Great Sects began to retreat.
Each intrusion resulted in loss of lives.
Such a burden is hard to bear.
Ultimately, they could only stay put in Rain Cold Valley, observing Chimei Forest, waiting for the right moment to figure out the details before deciding whether to move.
At this key point, Youquan Sect experts, who had been entrenched in Chimei Forest, surprisingly also crossed Rain Cold Valley and Qingxiu Mountain.
Arriving at Tianqu City…
This gave Luo Changsheng a bad premonition.
Just then, as Luo Changsheng glanced outside the city, his expression suddenly changed:
“Youquan Sect master!?”
Luo Changsheng is not Duan Song, and this is clearly not the time for jokes.
As soon as he spoke, indeed, everyone saw a White Jade Chariot approaching from afar.
In moments, it reached the base of Tianqu City.
Black scarves encircled the chariot, and amidst them, a figure in Blood Clothes, sitting cross-legged, was indistinctly visible.
Luo Changsheng and the others immediately became alert.
Even Xia Xuanran couldn’t afford to make sarcastic remarks now, his brow furrowed deeply with seriousness.
At this moment, the Youquan Sect master suddenly spoke, and his words were even more alarming:
“Hmm? We’ve arrived? Where is Night Lord?”
Night Lord is coming too!?
Everyone present couldn’t help but gasp.
It was just the Tianqu Sword, why would it come to this?
