Chapter 272 Long time no see
As soon as Xie Wan received the news, she told her that the major sects had held an emergency meeting and asked her to attend as well.
The four ferocious beasts are in serious trouble.
None of the major sects dared to be careless.
Interestingly, the Wuya Sword Sect, which is ranked among the top, did not receive an invitation.
Are you isolating her?
Yun Fuzhao led Jiaoyu directly to the sect's council hall in a swaggering manner.
The gate was tightly shut, and the gatekeeper tried to stop her, but Yun Fuzhao said very kindly, "Are you sure you want to stop me?"
The disciple glanced at the menacing Jiaoyu and silently swallowed.
Let her in.
The door was pushed open with a "whoosh".
All the sect leaders inside looked at her simultaneously.
"I've come at an inopportune time. If I had known you wouldn't have called me, I wouldn't have come."
The sect leaders: "?"
Wen Yan frowned: "What are you doing here?"
“Weren’t we discussing the resurrection of Qiongqi?” Yun Fuzhao said matter-of-factly, “I am also a part of the Southern Continent, why can’t I come?”
She plopped down on the floor. "Besides, I'm also the sect leader. Why weren't I invited to discuss such important matters?"
Wen Yan remained unfazed. "The sects we invited this time all have patriarchs in charge. The Boundless Sword Sect is indeed doing well now, but can your sect really help against ancient ferocious beasts?"
"However, I have dragons."
Jiaoyu nodded in agreement.
Wen Yan was speechless.
"At times like these, having more strength is never a bad thing," the Sect Master of Xiaoyao said.
The others chimed in, "That's right. Moreover, Sect Master Yun has a good relationship with the demon and monster realms. If ferocious beasts really target our cultivation world in the future, we can ask them for help."
Upon hearing this, Wen Yan ultimately remained silent.
"Now that Qiongqi has obtained the beast bone, given time, it will return to its peak. We must kill it before it fully integrates with the beast."
"It's easier said than done. That's an ancient ferocious beast. Even the fierce Demon Realm was turned upside down by it. The Brahma Palace was almost completely destroyed. And that was before he obtained the beast bone."
Valley Master of Medicine King Valley: "That may be true, but no matter how strong they are, as long as the elders of the major sects come out of seclusion, and the Dragon Clan joins in, it is not impossible to fight them."
Yun Fuzhao raised his hand, "I have a question."
Wen Yan glanced at her. "What are you trying to say?"
"Now that Qiongqi has been resurrected, shouldn't we also take precautions against other ferocious beasts? If they combine, we're doomed."
"Sect Master Yun is absolutely right."
"The ferocious beast Taotie from the cultivation world is suppressed in the Rebirth Hall. They are heavily guarded and constantly reinforce the craftsmanship, so even if Taotie were to be resurrected, it would most likely not be able to escape."
Yun Fuzhao does know this.
The strength of the Hall of Rebirth should not be underestimated. It is said that they have several Nascent Soul stage cultivators. I'm afraid that as soon as the Taotie shows any signs of resurrection, it will be ruthlessly annihilated by them.
Yun Fuzhao was more worried about the ferocious beasts suppressed in the Ghost Realm.
After all, the fact that Qiongqi was able to obtain the beast bones was undoubtedly aided by the Ghost Realm.
"Sect Master Wen," Yun Fuzhao looked at Wen Yan and asked curiously, "Has the Ghost Realm told you about their plans? After all, I'm a little confused about why they're helping Qiongqi."
These words immediately put the Xuantian Sect in the spotlight.
Wen Yan's expression changed slightly. "I don't know why they would do this."
Ferocious beasts are the common enemy of all realms.
The Ghost Realm's open assistance to them is clearly an act of enmity against the Six Realms. As a partner of the Ghost Realm, the Xuantian Sect is inevitably affected as well.
“If things continue like this,” Yun Fuzhao sighed, “if the chaos suppressed by the Ghost Realm is resurrected, we won’t be able to defend against it.”
They can only hope that Chaos won't be resurrected so soon.
“Although the Hall of Rebirth doesn’t participate in the affairs of the cultivation world, if we have their help in suppressing Qiongqi, we will have more confidence.” The Sect Master of the Free and Unfettered Sect looked at Yun Fuzhao. “I heard that Sect Master Yun has a good relationship with the Holy Son of the Hall of Rebirth. If you can get their help for us, you will be a hero of the cultivation world.”
Yun Fuzhao understood the implication: the reason they initially agreed to let her join was because of this.
If they come, everyone's happy; if they don't, they won't lose anything. However, it confirms that Yun Fuzhao doesn't have a particularly good relationship with the Hall of Rebirth.
“Yes.” Wen Yan reacted quickly. “Then I’ll leave this matter to Sect Leader Yun.”
Everyone looked on with amusement, as if they were watching a good show.
Yun Fuzhao had originally planned to go to the Hall of Rebirth, but with the rebellious spirit rising, she didn't want them to get their way so easily.
"Sigh, this time in suppressing Qiongqi, I have to put in both effort and connections. You all know that our Wuyai Sword Sect is still a small sect. If we really take action, we will lose both our wife and our army."
The smiles on the faces of the various sect leaders vanished.
"What does Sect Master Yun mean?"
Yun Fuzhao leaned back and looked at Wen Yan: "If we really suppress him, how about Sect Master Wen gives me the Key of Destiny?"
"impossible!"
Wen Yan refused without even thinking.
Just kidding, that's the Key to Destiny. Something that can unlock ancient miracles.
“Fine,” Yun Fuzhao stood up, “then I won’t participate in this suppression operation. Anyway, I have the protection of the Dragon Clan, so you can die if you want.”
Wen Yan: "Do you really think we can't suppress Qiongqi without you?"
Yun Fuzhao shrugged. "Who knows?"
"..."
Just as Wen Yan was about to say something, he noticed that the other sect leaders were looking at him with complicated expressions.
That look in his eyes is exactly the same as when he morally blackmailed Yun Fuzhao just now.
"Sect Master Wen, even if the patriarchs of all the major sects come forward, it will still be a tough battle. They are half-step ascension cultivators. If they perish in this suppression of Qiongqi, it will be an extremely heavy loss for both them and for us."
Everyone chimed in with their own words of advice, one after another.
After all, the key to their destiny wasn't in their hands, so they felt no burden in speaking it out.
Yun Fuzhao saw through these people's true colors. Since she could reap the benefits without lifting a finger, she smiled as she watched Wen Yan's face turn pale and then red.
After an incense stick had burned, Wen Yan couldn't take it anymore and said, "Fine, I'll give it to you."
Even if you possess the Key of Destiny, you might not be able to unlock the ancient miracle. Just collecting ten Keys of Destiny is already a challenge.
He barely convinced himself.
Yun Fuzhao plopped back down. "It would have been so much better if this had been done earlier. I wouldn't have had to walk those few steps."
"..."
Wen Yan reluctantly handed over the key to his destiny to her.
Yun Fuzhao smiled and put the Key of Destiny into his storage bag. "Don't worry, everyone, I'll send a text message to the Holy Son right now."
Yun Fuzhao sent a text message to Gong Yuhe and quickly received his reply.
In less than an hour, he appeared at the entrance of the council hall.
Gong Yuhe sat in his wheelchair, his expression unusually relaxed. "Sect Leader Yun, it's been a long time."
Those sect leaders who wanted to watch the spectacle didn't expect him to arrive so quickly.
