Chapter 1863 Let's play dirty tricks!
Tianfeng Gorge!
Mingchuan's pupils contracted.
That was a famously dangerous place in the Holy Land, with a complex spatial structure and many ancient, unstable rifts that could lead to the lower realm.
Yueyao's choice of that location clearly indicates her intention to bypass conventional monitoring channels and infiltrate the Spirit Realm silently!
Who did she bring with her?
"The number of people is unknown, but it's highly likely that the three Palace Masters, Yue Wuhen, Yue Qingshuang, and Yue Hanying, are accompanying them. In addition... Dark Moon may also have elites secretly following them." Jin Man's tone was heavy.
Three Nascent Soul stage palace masters, plus the enigmatic Dark Moon assassins...
This is a force powerful enough to overthrow any single sect in the Spirit Realm!
"What is her goal? Is it to attack Wan Chuan Sect directly? Or does she have other plans?" Ran Qianqian clenched her fists and couldn't help but ask through gritted teeth.
“Anything is possible.” Mingchuan analyzed calmly, “A direct attack on Wanchuan Sect is the most straightforward retaliation and can also deal the greatest blow to the morale of the Spirit Domain.”
"But the risks are also great. We are prepared, and the sect's protective formation is not just for show. She is more likely to take important targets hostage and undermine us from within."
His gaze swept across the mirror, across the mountains and cities of the Spirit Realm, and finally landed on the familiar figures within the Wan Chuan Sect.
He knew all too well how ruthless and unscrupulous Yueyao was.
She's capable of anything to achieve her goals.
He absolutely cannot allow everyone to be in such a crisis.
Mingchuan's voice instantly turned cold and deep: "Pass down the order: within the Wanchuan Sect, all core members and important disciples are prohibited from acting alone from this moment on. They must be accompanied by at least two people when entering or leaving the sect, and must always carry emergency communication and location talismans."
"Initiate Project Shadow. Have Shi Guangyang utilize the full strength of the Enforcement Hall, in coordination with Jin Man's undercover agents, to conduct the highest level of counter-infiltration screening within the sect and several key nodes in the Spirit Realm."
"Any suspicious persons, abnormal energy fluctuations, or unexplained messages should be investigated even if they are wrong, rather than let go!"
"Yes!" Jinman accepted the order.
"Furthermore," Mingchuan looked at the four Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, "please return to your respective sects immediately to take charge. If Yueyao comes, it may not be targeting only the Wanchuan Sect. The mountain gate formations of each sect must be kept at the highest level of alert. At the same time, the Five Elements Linked Communication Formation of our five sects must be kept open at all times. If there is any unusual activity, we must immediately support each other!"
Ye Chuhan and the other three solemnly clasped their fists and said, "Understood! If the lips are gone, the teeth will be cold; we will stand with the Wan Chuan Sect through thick and thin!"
The four hurriedly left through the teleportation array.
The Observatory Platform fell silent for the time being, with only the faint light flowing across the mirror and the heavy breathing of the crowd remaining.
Mingchuan walked to the window and looked at the vast sea of clouds and starry sky outside the sect's protective formation.
In the distance, the myriad lights of the Spirit Realm twinkled peacefully in the night.
But this peace is about to be shattered.
"Yueyao..." he murmured the name, his eyes showing no fear, only boiling fighting spirit and icy killing intent.
"If you want to play dirty tricks, want to behead, want to destroy... then come on."
"This time, I will show you that the Spirit Realm is not a soft persimmon that you can easily bully. Nor is the Myriad Rivers Sect!"
He turned around, looking at Leng hope and the other two women beside him, and then at Ah Xiong, Ji Zhou, and the others who had rushed over. His voice was steady and powerful:
"Gentlemen, a powerful enemy is approaching; a battle to the death is imminent. Are you afraid?"
Ah Xiong grinned, revealing his white teeth: "What are you afraid of! We weren't afraid in Dragon Kingdom, so why would we back down in the cultivation world? Let's fucking get them!"
Ji Zhou nodded emphatically: "The entire Battle Hall is ready. As long as the sect exists, we will live!"
Leng hope grasped Ming Chuan's hand, her cool eyes filled with unwavering trust: "Wherever you are, that's where we are."
Ran Qianqian and Dong Chuyan also came closer, their eyes filled with determination.
A warm feeling welled up in Mingchuan's heart, and he nodded emphatically.
"Alright! Then let's show Yueyao, and those high and mighty guys in the Holy Domain—"
"The spirit of the Spirit Realm, the blade of the Myriad Rivers Sect—how sharp they are!"
The night grew deeper, and a storm was on its way.
Meanwhile, the Wan Chuan Sect has sharpened its claws and tightened its bowstring.
……
Within the valley, the Taiyin Resonance Array of the Spiritual Void Immortal had been set up.
Several spatial crystals were embedded in specific positions on the nodes of the stone platform remnant array, shimmering with a ghostly blue light.
The array flags were arranged in four directions, drawing upon the sparse, stable energy in the void.
The Void Concentration Dew transformed into wisps of pale silver mist, swirling around the core crescent moon symbol, continuously nourishing and stimulating its remaining Yin essence.
As Master Lingxu cast his final incantation, the simple resonance array trembled and subtly resonated with the ancient stone platform and its remaining array below.
In an instant, the crescent moon symbol at the core of the stone platform shone brightly!
A soft yet incredibly refined beam of silvery-white light shot straight up from the center of the crescent moon symbol, piercing the gray sky above the valley.
The beam of light was not thick, only about the thickness of a bowl, but in the chaotic and gray-toned Chaotic Sky Sea, this pure and cool silver-white beam of light stood out like a lighthouse in the night, almost conspicuously so!
Even more strangely, the beam of light did not cause violent energy disturbances. It seemed to exist in the form of a higher-order law. When the chaotic energy flow around it approached the beam of light, it was silently smoothed out and diverted, as if subjects had met their king!
This discovery greatly excited Master Lingxu.
The beam of light lasted for about ten breaths before slowly receding, eventually transforming into a faint, moonlit veil of light that enveloped the entire valley and lingered there for a long time.
This radiant light emitted a unique yin energy fluctuation. Although not strong, it was highly penetrating and recognizable, standing out as a clear and distinctive signal source amidst the chaotic energy spectrum and noise of the Chaotic Void Sea.
"Hopefully they'll notice..."
Master Lingxu's face turned even paler; maintaining this formation was quite taxing.
He dared not linger, quickly gathered the remaining materials, erased any trace of his presence, and with a flash, hid in a natural crevice at the edge of the valley. He concealed all his aura, silently regulated his breathing, and at the same time vigilantly sensed his surroundings.
While lighting the Taiyin beacon fire might guide companions, it could also attract unwanted attention.
Time passed slowly amidst tension and waiting.
About half an hour later, Master Lingxu suddenly opened his eyes and looked towards the entrance of the valley!
Several subtle yet swift auras are rapidly approaching the valley!
The aura carried a familiar yet repulsive mix of Buddhist and malevolent energy—the aura of the ascetics of the Silent Zen Monastery!
"They came so quickly..." Master Lingxu's heart sank.
How could it have been discovered so quickly?
He focused his senses and detected about five people. One of them had an exceptionally refined and obscure aura, likely indicating he was at the early Nascent Soul stage! The rest were mostly at the Nascent Soul stage.
If they join forces, they have absolutely no chance of winning in a direct confrontation.
He glanced at the stone platform area in the center of the valley, which still emitted a faint glow, and quickly made a decision in his mind.
The lingering Yin energy on the stone platform has a natural repulsion and even suppression effect on the techniques of the Silent Zen Temple; perhaps it can be utilized…
