"Don't be afraid. If we are wrong, we are wrong. We will bear the consequences. But now, how to stabilize the Xihai Sect and maintain the operation of the entire sect, the market, and the mortal world is the top priority." As old friends for many years, Sect Leader Lu naturally understood Long Aotian, but... that was his wife, with whom he had a daughter. Regardless of her background or what she had done, he had to shoulder the responsibilities as a husband. Husband and wife are one body, and he should share the responsibility for any mistakes his wife makes. "You have a correct idea, but you are facing the survivors of the entire Xihai Sect and the old guys from the Xiuxian Alliance. They have the final say on how to deal with this matter. I don't want to interfere." Long Aotian shrugged slightly. It was obvious that Old Lu misunderstood and brought him to see Mrs. Lu to remind her who the guilty person was, so he was in a hurry to protect her. Hey…… "Master, there is a letter from the sect." The communication talisman in Zhou Ling's hand felt slightly warm. He took it out and saw that it was a call letter from the sect. In addition, seeing that the master looked unhappy and worried, he took the communication talisman and went forward to distract the master's attention. It’s not easy. The master brought them thousands of miles to rescue their old friend, but what happened during that time is hard to describe in words.
Especially looking at the current situation, even if we don't know the details yet, we can tell from the information revealed in their words that the tragedy that occurred in Xihai Sect is related to the current leader who is willing to cooperate with the Demon Lord in order to gain power. Not only that, from what they said, this matter is more or less related to Madam Lu. Master's old friend has been corroded by evil spirits to this point, and it's unknown how long he can live. He has to use the limited remaining life to clean up the mess of Xihai Sect, and by the way, he has to do everything he can to protect Madam Lu from punishment. Hey…… Not to mention the master, even she, an outsider who only had a general understanding of the matter, wanted to sigh. The master was wholeheartedly concerned about his old friend, but as a result, his old friend is no longer able to survive. Long Aotian, who was reading the message on the communication talisman, heard a slight sigh beside him. He turned his head and saw his little disciple looking at him with a slightly sad and sympathetic look. "Snap." The crisp sound of knuckles hitting the head slightly livened up the heavy atmosphere around. It didn’t hurt, but being hit in front of outsiders was extremely insulting!!! Zhou Ling pouted, covered her forehead, and looked at her master with resentment. "Don't sigh so much at such a young age, or you'll lose all your luck with sighs!" Long Aotian also came to his senses and realized that he had gotten used to knocking and forgot for a moment that there were outsiders present. This would embarrass his disciple in front of outsiders. But... I've already knocked, so I might as well just go down the slope. Zhou Ling still covered his forehead and remained silent, just looking at his master silently. Seeing this, Long Aotian took a deep breath, closed his eyes, and used his free left hand, which was not holding the communication talisman, to take out a small bag from the storage bag and stretched it in front of Zhou Ling. "Make up for the pocket money that has been missing recently." It was called pocket money, but in fact it was the share that Zhou Ling was supposed to receive as a disciple of the Wan Dao Sect. When she went out to practice, her master would naturally help her collect these spiritual stones. However, the share Zhou Ling could receive was never just the one distributed by the sect, but also the one distributed by her master. Moreover, the one distributed by her master was always much more than what the sect distributed. Zhou Ling, who was blinded by money, all the depressed look on her wrinkled face disappeared. She stretched out her little claws and tightly grasped the small bag handed to her by her master. She scanned it with her spiritual sense and found that the storage bag, which was about the size of a small room, was filled to the brim with spirit stones. Top-grade spirit stones were rare, so this bag basically contained a small amount of mid-grade spirit stones mixed with many low-grade spirit stones, and it was estimated that there were more than hundreds of thousands of them. Seeing that his disciple was happy, Long Aotian finally breathed a sigh of relief. Although these spirit stones were originally intended for her, giving them to her as pocket money now would also give her some face. After all, she could show off her glorious status as the only descendant of Zhijian Peak in front of outsiders. Zhou Ling happily turned around and left with the spirit stone in her arms. After she was away from the crowd, she began to count the money on the spot.
Finally, Long Aotian had the time to open the communication talisman in his hand and check the specific contents on it. The news of the abnormality in Xihai Sect was spread through the communication stone as soon as it showed signs of being out of control. The sect was most concerned about the three people from Zhijian Peak. Almost as soon as the news came back, they were ready to come to support them. Although the Wandao Sect is not as powerful as other sects, it has been supported by Long Aotian over the years and has trained a lot of elite disciples. It is not that there is no one available when support comes here, but there are some unexpected events. One of the twin secret realms in the hands of Guixu Sect. Ever since the Sunstone inside was destroyed, they have been thinking of a way to remedy it. Now they have some ideas, but they don't want to delay the 500-year cooling time for the secret realm to open. They actually want to interfere with the secret realm barrier again and force people in, in an attempt to repair the operation of the Sunstone in advance, so that these 500 years will not be wasted and the resources inside can grow smoothly on the next harvest day. The secret realm that can be entered twice is different from ordinary man-made secret realms. The last forced intervention in the opening time has made the overall state of the secret realm unstable. Now it is even more outrageous, the secret realm has just been opened once, and they are eager to open it for the second time. They don't care about people's lives and deaths, and want to send people to the unstable secret realm to repair the sunstone, just for the sect to gain more benefits. The reason why the secret realm is a secret realm is because it is a miracle place that is a small world of its own created by heaven and earth. When the secret realm is stable, everything is suitable, but when it is unstable, the secret realm is the most dangerous existence. Unstable space nodes can destroy everything. If someone enters them, they may become the lucky one chosen by the distorted space nodes at any time and be crushed into nothingness in the blink of an eye. This is only a relatively mild consequence. If it is serious, it will not only be a problem of instability in the internal space, but... it may turn into a space collapse in the entire secret area. The entire secret realm collapsed completely, and the real space would naturally be affected. It's just a space collapse in one area, and the immortal cultivation world still has some means to control it and prevent it from getting worse. But if the speed and power of the secret realm's collapse are too fast, then the scope of the real world affected will not be limited to just a certain area. By then... the consequences will be widespread and the entire world of immortal cultivation will suffer. "Let's go back to the city!" Long Aotian pinched out the communication talisman in his hand and waved to his disciple who was happily counting money not far away. "Go back to the city? What about this side?" Zhou Ling raised his head from the pile of spirit stones and looked between his master and Master Lu in confusion. "Hmph, everything is fine here. Reinforcements will arrive soon and will help with the aftermath. And I...will come when it's time to attend the funeral!" (End of this chapter)
