Dong Li quickly followed someone into the Grand Hall of Discussions. Although he was the head elder of Zixia Valley, this was his first time speaking directly with the leader of the Alliance of Daoist Masters.
"Dong Lishang greets the leader of the Kettle Alliance and the leaders of all sects. He greets from Zixia Valley."
Hu Wu Xin waved his hand:
"Master Dong, please do not withhold the situation in Zixia Valley. Speak plainly."
"Yes."
Dong Lishang bowed again, then said with a mix of sorrow and anger:
"Our Zixia Valley fell because of the mischief caused by Ding Huan brought back by Liu Yinzhū."
He may be an ordinary person, but his nature is incredibly malevolent. First, he conspired with the Jiu Yin Gate to poison everyone in Zixia Valley.
When both Jiu Yin Gate and Zixia Valley engaged in a fierce battle, causing heavy casualties on both sides, he again released poisonous mist, causing both sects to suffer heavy losses.
"Afterwards, he sealed the gate of Zixia Valley with Liu Yinzhū, appropriating the valley for himself. Moreover, they secretly entered and exited the sealed gate while pretending to seal it."
Ding Huan indeed entered and exited the sealed mountain gate, and it's obvious that he would not allow Dong Lishang to know about it.
Dong Lishang was completely lying and deliberately framing Ding Huan. However, he didn't expect that his wild guess actually hit the mark.
Hu Wu Xin was also shocked by Dong Lishang's words. That's a bit beyond the realm of common sense, isn't it?
An middle-aged man volunteered to say:
"I do believe what Master Dong has to say, as this Ding Huan seemed to have gone to a mundane city two years ago, a city still under the jurisdiction of our Great Swords Dao."
An ordinary mundane managed to control the city, and it's said that he even killed a foundation-building cultivator from the Wanhu Gate."
The speaker is one of the top-ranked patriarchs of the Daoist world, the master of the Great Swords Dao, Zongcan Zhong.
In fact, Zongcan had heard about this matter long ago but didn't take it seriously.
If it hadn't been for Hu Wu Xin mentioning it, he wouldn't have remembered it either.
Although Xifeng City is located within the jurisdiction of the Great Swords Dao, it holds no significance for them.
"Yes, it was Cui Huer from our Wanhu Gate who was killed in Xifeng City, and it was a man named Ding Huan who did it." Hong Tiao from the Wanhu Gate stood up and said immediately.
"Master Yi, I've heard that your would-be daughter-in-law, Guanyu, has been deceived by this Ding Huan and is now with him. Is this true?"
"Master Tán, it seems like this matter isn't big enough yet. Let me add a little more fuel to the fire."
Master Yi's face was very unpleasant, as he had known about this matter long ago.
Ding Huan and Guanyu appeared in Xifeng City, but after that, they vanished without a trace.
This was originally a shame for the Yanue Sect. The master has been secretly searching for Ding Huan and Guanyu, the lowborn woman, for a long time.
If it hadn't been for today's conference, he would never have known that Ding Huan was hiding in Zixia Valley.
"Our Yanue Sect will handle our own matters." Master Yi's tone was cold.
"Master Tán, it seems like you don't want to mention this matter. Let me add another piece of gossip."
"Ding Huan and Liu Yinzhū from Zixia Valley have caused great outrage, so the sealed gate of Zixia Valley should naturally be opened. If Master Yi doesn't care about Zixia Valley, then I won't mention it."
Master Yi said coldly:
"If Ding Huan is truly in Zixia Valley, our Yanue Sect will not let it go unpunished."
With Zixia Valley's destruction, Master Yi's statement that he will not let it go is essentially an attempt to lay claim to some of the benefits of the valley.
Zixia Valley has a Purple Garden Heavy Mountain. Although the profits from the place have nothing to do with Zixia Valley these days, they basically end up in the Purple Garden City.
But that's because Zixia Valley is weak. If it had the ability to control the Purple Garden Heavy Mountain, who would dare to steal the resources of the Purple Garden?
Hu Wu Xin was well aware of these people's intentions and spoke up:
"Since that's the case, Master Qín, Master Yi, and Master Hong, you should go with Elder Dong to Zixia Valley to handle this matter."
Please remember that our Daoist cultivators' rules are strict. Even if you capture Ding Huan, you should not use any harsh methods.
Our Daoist world always speaks openly about everything. We must make it clear to him the exact reasons, even if he is just an ordinary person."
"Yes, thank you, Master." The three sect masters immediately stood up, along with Elder Dong Lishang, to thank Master Hu.
"Master Tán is mentioning this matter today to gain the approval of Master Hu, the leader of the Alliance of the Sects."
With Master Hu's approval, she would not be in violation when she smashes the sealed gate of Zixia Valley. In the future, it wouldn't serve as an excuse for other sects to attack them.
The Double Soul Sect has done too many despicable things, and Master Tán really worries about being found with an excuse to be attacked by others.
Master Hu also stood up and spoke loudly:
"That's all for today's deliberation. In a nutshell, the entire Daoist world's sects are maintained by all our sects together. I hope everyone will get along better in the future and progress together."
Following a thunderous round of applause, the conference came to an end.
The heads of all the sects had become accustomed to this type of thunderous conference with little actual progress.
This meeting took nearly half a month in total, primarily due to the notification process, and then waiting for all major sects to gather.
And during the actual conference, the total time spent in meetings was less than an hour. It's like something out of a fantasy.
"Master Hu, if Zixia Valley really gets wiped out, this place would be perfect for our Daoist world's sect alliance."
After the heads of all the participating sects left, the leader of the Daoist world's sect alliance, Xin Cán, couldn't help but say.
Hu Wu Xin coldly laughed:
"Zixia Valley's destruction should indeed be a fact. Do you really think that as long as the mountain gate is smashed and Ding Huan is killed, it will be enough to take control of Zixia Valley?"
"Isn't that the case?" Xin Cán was puzzled.
Hu Wu Xin spoke calmly:
"I can assure you that the Zixia Valley of today will not be weaker than the Zixia Valley that wasn't destroyed, and might even be stronger."
"Why?" Xin Cán was even more confused.
Hu Wu Xin said indifferently:
"Because to control Zixia Valley, you have to kill Qiqiang He. This person should have already stepped into the semi-sacred realm."
His talent is extremely high, and his combat power is also incredibly strong. He's dedicated to cultivating and would probably not emerge even if the sect was destroyed.
Think about it, if that Ding Huan really took over Zixia Valley, how strong is his power or his abilities? To say he's an ordinary person, do you believe it?"
Xin Cán was shocked and only spoke after a while: "So, Master Tán will definitely have to bear some consequences?"
Hu Wu Xin nodded:
"If that Ding Huan can really kill Qiqiang He, I wouldn't even want to cross him. Tell me, what advantage can Master Tán gain? These despicable deeds? I know all about them, ha, so clever of you."
Xin Cán's heart skipped a beat. He even had a feeling that the grand conference of the Daoist world's sect alliance was actually a pit dug by Master Hu for several people like Master Tán, Master Yi, and Master Hong.
Just as he thought of this, he heard Hu Wu Xin sigh again:
"Too bad, Master Zhongcan of the Great Swords Dao didn't volunteer to go. Otherwise, I would have really liked to see how Ding Huan would deal with him."
Xin Cán bitterly laughed:
"Are you overestimating that Ding Huan?"
Hu Wu Xin said solemnly, "I'm not overestimating him. I've investigated him. When he first came to the Daoist world, he really could have been an ordinary person, but he rose to prominence in the shortest time possible."
"From now on, you should avoid going against him. As long as you don't kill him, the potential problems will be endless."
"If the Double Soul Sect, Yanue Sect, and Wanhu Gate really teamed up to wipe out that Ding Huan and capture Zixia Valley, what would happen?"
Xin Cán hesitated for a moment before voicing his inner concern.
Even if Ding Huan is as strong as they say, can he really withstand the combined power of three sects? Furthermore, both Elder Yi and Master Tán are all-powerful cultivators in the Yuan Soul realm."
Hu Wu Xin laughed loudly:
"Don't overthink it. If they really can achieve that, then it will be the time for our sect alliance to speak up."
Xin Cán immediately understood, if these three sects occupy Zixia Valley, how can other sects just let it go as a piece of fatty meat?"
Therefore, at this time, the Daoist world's sect alliance must step in as a mediator. All they need to do is for someone to suggest that Zixia Valley be designated as the headquarters of the sect alliance, and all issues will be resolved."
Xin Cán felt regretful and commented, "Still, Master Hu's thinking is far-sighted."
...
In the Zixi Peak, Ding Huan had just solidified his sixth Star Mountain when he heard a thunderous boom erupt outside the sect.
Is someone attacking the sect's protective array?
At this moment, all those cultivating in Zixia Valley were awakened.
When Liu Yinzhū and others rushed out of Zixi Peak, they found that Ding Huan had already left the peak.
Ding Huan's divine sense had already seen the attackers on Zixia Valley, surprising him were two Yuan Soul realm initial-stage cultivators and one Zhen Dan Yuan realm.
As for ordinary Zhen Dan cultivators, there were over a dozen in total, and nearly forty to fifty Foundation Establishment cultivators had arrived.
This should not be a sect. If it is a sect, then the strength of this sect is very strong.
"Master, someone is attacking our defense array?" Liu Yinzhū hurried over to Ding Huan's side.
Her cultivation has reached the later stage ofStar Accumulation, still higher than Ding Huan's.
After undergoing the cultivation of Little Universe Star Array, her cultivation improved at a rapid pace.
If she were still following the cultivation methods of Zixia Valley, she might still be lingering at the initial stage of Zhen Dan realm now.
Sang Yuhuo has also reached the mid-stage of Star Accumulation.
Qin Qinghan, star cloud perfect.
Yan Mei had successfully condensed the Star Cloud, as did Mò Háo, Sēn Jiàn Kǎi, and four cultivators whose names Ding Huan could not recall. They had all successfully condensed the Star Cloud.
That means there are currently seven Foundation Establishment cultivators and three Zhen Dan realm cultivators in the Blue Star Sect.
This strength would be considered a small sect in the Daoist world.
"Let them attack. Their attack capabilities won't be able to break through my Blue Star Sect in the short term."
While speaking, Ding Huan rapidly conjured up the array flag to begin upgrading the Great Restraining and Killing Array.
It's not necessary to upgrade the defensive array permanently. Ding Huan originally had no intention of always guarding it.
The time has come for the Blue Star Sect to step out into the world. There is no need to continue sealing the mountain gate.
Once these people break through the protective array, they will see the Blue Star Sect make its appearance.
He is not Gu Mo. Ding Huan has never had any intention of sparing anyone who dares to attack his sect's Sealing Mountain Array.
Unless the person can show something that truly moves him to trade their life for it.
...
"Master Tán, this sect's Sealing Mountain Array doesn't seem to be a Level 5 early stage protective array."
After attacking for a while without breaking the protective array, the leader of Wanhu Gate, Hong Tiao, couldn't help but speak up.
The leader of the Yanue Sect, Yi Wan Dao, affirmed,
"This is not only not a Level 5 early stage protective array, but the protective array is almost at Level 5 late stage."
"If we can't break through this mountain gate within a short time, more people will come." Hong Tiao was somewhat uneasy.
He had obtained the approval of the alliance leader to gain benefits from Zixia Valley, but once more people arrived, his own strength would be insufficient.
Qí Yanxi coldly said:
"They are already here."
