Supreme Star Card Master

Chapter 1428: Chapter 1181: Signs of Danger

Master Yunhua looked at Xun Yue and asked, "We have been fleeing under the pursuit of demons all along the way, holding out at the Red Sun Cliff until now, and remain unaware of the situation outside.

Since Daoist Xun dared to come alone to the territory of our True Yang Sect, Yixian Dao must have more or less a grasp of the current situation in the Southern Continent."

"Although our Upper Emperor is also cut off, some arrangements were made before the disappearance..." Xun Yue nodded, raised his hand to summon a starlit Bronze Round Plate, and cast a Seal Technique, "Manifest!"

Runes appeared on the Bronze Round Plate, bursting into a blue radiance, spreading in mid-air to form a chessboard.

On it, streams of black and white gradually flowed, eventually condensing into black and white pieces on the chessboard.

But upon closer inspection, rather than a chessboard, it seemed more like a specially crafted map!

"Is this...the situation of the Southern Continent manifested?" The True Yang Sect people quickly noticed, "And these black and white pieces, could they represent the distribution of demon forces?"

"Exactly!"

Xun Yue stroked his black beard and began to explain to everyone.

"Based on the earlier arrangements left by our Upper Emperor, under the leadership of the Sect Leader, our sect set up the ’Yixing Grand Array’ using the Holy Artifact ’Yixing Disc’ as the Array Eye, covering the entire Southern Continent.

This array can divine celestial secrets and intercept the dual energies, using the continent as the board and us and the enemy as pieces, evolving into this Yixing Map, which almost allows real-time control over the entire continent’s situation changes!"

"Covering the entire continent? Such an effect, this array is truly astonishing!"

Everyone in the room looked at the chessboard projected by the Bronze Round Plate, all exclaiming in amazement.

Xun Yue smiled with a bit of pride, then used the Yixing Map to explain to everyone:

"At the beginning of the calamity, Otherworldly Demons were divided into four parts and launched a surprise attack, respectively targeting Taishang Sect, Demon Sky Palace, Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, and the remaining sect forces.

Up to now, the Ten Thousand Sword Divine Sect, with the help of the East Continent, has repelled one of the demon parts;

The Demon Sky Palace promptly gathered experts from the Blood Evil Sect and Limitless Demon Sect at Cangming Island, using the power of the Three Sects to resist one part of the demons, stabilizing the situation.

As for Taishang Sect, being the leader of our Daoist Sect, although the response was hasty, it still held out until now, not falling too far behind.

According to the Upper Emperor’s instructions, this Beast Tribulation has a duration of two months, so persisting on should not be difficult."

Xu Hong asked, "So it seems, these demons only have an advantage from their surprise attack, and although the current situation is critical, it hasn’t reached a life-or-death point?"

Xun Yue nodded and said, "Correct!"

Hearing Xun Yue’s answer, everyone collectively breathed a sigh of relief, and their originally uneasy mood eased a bit.

Beside them, Liu Zhenyan sighed slightly, "The Three Major Sects deserve to be the Three Major Sects, their millennia of heritage far exceeds ours."

Even when combining the efforts of all other sects, they could hardly resist one part of the demons, whereas the Three Major Sects can independently contend with one part, a disparity that speaks for itself.

Even if the new generation of disciples in various sects can rival the Three Major Sects with super talents, they still fall far short of countless years of foundation.

This foundation reflects not just in the number of powerhouses but is embodied in aspects such as cultivation techniques, arrays, elixirs, and treasures.

Xun Yue looked at the True Yang Sect members and smiled, "Moreover, there’s good news. Our sect earlier found your Right Protector Master Huang Long and fellow members through the Yixing Grand Array, and invited many fellow Daoists from the Five Directions Temple and Qiankun Sect to provide support.

Now Master Huang Long and the others are safe and sound, having returned to a secure place with many Daoist comrades."

Yunhua’s eyes widened with joy, "Huang Long is still alive? Great!"

The entire True Yang Sect was overwhelmed with surprise and delight, their expressions exhilarated!

Originally thinking that after this calamity, with the mountain gate collapsed and the Sect Leader fallen, it was a near-death experience.

Yet beyond their own party, Master Huang Long also led many True Yang Sect cultivators to survive, preserving much strength.

Master Yunhua asked, "Since Yixian Dao is so prepared, with insight into the Southern Continent’s situation and demon distribution, is there any further plan going forward?"

Xun Yue’s expression turned serious, nodding, "The calamity came suddenly, plunging the whole continent into turmoil, involving the safety of countless lives. No sect or cultivator can stand apart from this.

To coordinate in response and fight back against the demons, our sect has established the ’Star Luo Array Network’ using the Yixing Grand Array over the past month, which can utilize celestial phenomena and the Earth’s Star Vein orientations for rapid teleportation between multiple locations in the Southern Continent. Please take a look."

Xun Yue raised a finger, and over a dozen Star Luo Array Points lit up on the Yixing Map, connecting to almost cover half of the Southern Continent.

"As long as one is at an array point, they can rapidly move between locations harnessing the Starlight Power summoned by the array, allowing quick deployment of available forces.

Fellow Daoists, having experienced battle, may follow me to the nearest Star Luo Array Point for regrouping. After that, our sects can use the teleportation ability of the Yixing Array to collectively fight against the demons!"

"Good!"

Everyone’s eyes lit up; they hadn’t expected Yixian Dao to have prepared so much in advance.

"Can even King-level be teleported?" Su Yuan, listening quietly, asked.

Xun Yue nodded, "Although the cost of teleporting King-level powerhouses is about a hundred times that of Burning Sun, in this calamity, such considerations are unnecessary."

Hearing this, Su Yuan couldn’t help but nod silently.

Even the Demon Capturing Mirror could only vaguely detect demonic presence on the Southern Continent, yet Yixian Dao could, through an array covering the entire continent, capture demonic and spiritual energies to transform into black and white pieces, clearly revealing the current situation.
