Chapter 1861 Preparing for War!
A smug smile played on Yueyao's lips as she lightly tapped the white jade armrest with her fingertips, muttering to herself.
"Silent Zen Monastery, what you've been hiding can't be kept secret any longer, can it?"
"And Ling Xuzi, Ming Chuan... you guys threw this bombshell at just the right time. It saved me a lot of trouble."
She got up, walked to the window, and gazed at the vast sky of the Holy Land with a deep look in her eyes.
"However, the heat is still a bit lacking... Let's make the fire burn even brighter."
She summoned Yue Hanying and whispered, "Have our people add a little more substance. Subtly leave traces of the third phase of the Eclipse Moon Plan at several conflict sites, especially in areas related to the Nanli Family and the Tianji Pavilion."
Remember, make it seem as if you were accidentally caught in the crossfire and exposed.
Yue Hanying's figure trembled slightly as she understood Yue Yao's meaning.
This is an attempt to completely shift the blame to the Jimie Zen Temple, while simultaneously confirming their crimes of capturing geniuses from various factions and exacerbating the conflict!
"Furthermore," Yueyao added, "we should have our friends within the Holy Domain Alliance propose, when appropriate, the formation of a joint investigation team to enter the Chaotic Sky Sea and uncover the truth behind the evil entities and disappearances. The reasons should be respectable: maintaining the stability of the Holy Domain and eliminating potential threats."
Yue Hanying accepted the order and left.
Yueyao stood alone in the hall, her smile deepening.
"Joint investigation team... Hmph, once they're in, they won't come out easily. The Chaotic Sky Sea is a perfect place for you to wear each other down."
“And I…” Her gaze turned toward the Spirit Realm, her eyes suddenly becoming sharp as knives.
"It's time to head to the Spirit Realm and collect some interest. Mingchuan, I wonder if you can still protect your brothers, friends, and sect this time?"
Her figure flickered and disappeared into the Lan Yue Palace.
……
Meanwhile, at the Wanchuan Sect, the Observation Mirror Platform.
Mingchuan stared at the chaotic energy pattern on the mirror, which represented the Chaotic Sky Sea region and was fluctuating violently and spreading continuously, with a livid face.
Although the specific details were unclear, the energy burst and spatial disorder of that scale were far from ordinary!
“Senior Lingxu… Crimson Flame Fox… Master… Green-Faced Fox…” He clenched his fists so tightly that his knuckles turned white.
Communication was completely cut off, and their fate remains unknown.
Almost simultaneously, Jinman rushed over, his face grave, and handed over an urgent intelligence jade slip that he had just received from a secret channel of the Holy Domain.
Mingchuan scanned the area with his divine sense, and his pupils suddenly contracted!
The intelligence revealed the dramatic changes in the Chaotic Sky Sea, the movements of various forces, and the fact that Yueyao had seemingly left the Dragon Roar Temple, her whereabouts and direction unknown, but there was a high probability that she was heading towards the Spirit Realm!
“Yueyao…” Mingchuan’s eyes flashed with a cold light, and his killing intent almost solidified.
Internal and external troubles suddenly reached their peak!
He abruptly looked up at the landscape of the spiritual realm reflected in the Mirror of Heaven, his voice cold and resolute, echoing throughout the entire platform:
"Issue my order—the Wanchuan Sect and the four allied sects, immediately enter a state of highest combat readiness!"
"All disciples and patrol teams stationed outside the area are to be recalled!"
"Sect Protection Formation, full power activated!"
"All research at the Hall of Talents is suspended, and battle drills will be transitioned to live-fire defense rehearsals!"
"Announcement to the entire Spirit Realm—The Demonic Invasion is imminent! Prepare for War!!!"
……
Master Lingxu sat cross-legged in the simple cave, regulating his breathing. The power of the elixir spread, nourishing his damaged meridians and depleted dantian.
The power of the moonlight flowed slowly, repairing the subtle cracks in the soul.
About two hours later, he slowly opened his eyes, his weariness lessened, and his eyes gleamed with inner strength.
His injuries had healed by about 30%, and his spiritual power had also accumulated somewhat. Although he was far from being at his peak, he already had the basic ability to protect himself and move around.
He tried to contact Ye Yan and the other two again, cautiously probing the cave entrance with his divine sense like tentacles, but still found nothing.
The environment of the Chaotic Sky Sea severely suppresses divine sense; a hundred miles away feels like being separated by thousands of mountains and rivers.
"It seems we have no choice but to try to leave this area first, and then reunite."
Master Lingxu got up, walked to the cave entrance, removed the simple array, and carefully observed the outside world.
The fog remained thick, and visibility was extremely low.
In the distance, the light from the turbulent energy zones occasionally pierced the darkness, outlining the grotesque contours of the broken landmasses.
The surroundings were eerily silent, with only the faint, low hum of spatial friction coming from the far distance.
He took out the Moonlight Guiding Token, which was still slightly warm.
The token's direction remained unchanged, still firmly pointing towards the rock wall deep within the cave, marked with ancient silver patterns.
"The remaining moonlight imprints here may not be limited to this one... If we can find other nodes, or even a relatively complete remnant of an ancient teleportation array..."
Lingxu Zhenren pondered in his heart.
This might be a potential clue for the four of them to reunite after they went their separate ways, or even an unexpected way out.
He decided to follow the guidance of the Moonlight Guiding Token and conduct an initial exploration of this area.
There are risks, but sitting idly by is equally dangerous.
Concealing his aura and merging into the gray mist, Master Lingxu left the cave like a ghost.
He dared not fly, lest he cause energy disturbances, and instead relied on his keen perception of energy flow and his judgment of the terrain to carefully navigate among the jagged rocks and broken crevices in the ground.
The Moonlight Guiding Token's influence fluctuated, guiding him deeper into this landmass, into an area with more complex terrain and seemingly stronger energy inertia.
Some human traces were also found along the way.
Looking at the palm-sized, silvery fragment in his hand, neither gold nor jade, and warm to the touch, Master Lingxu couldn't help but sigh.
The fragment contained an extremely faint, cool energy that resonated subtly with the power of the moon.
"Indeed, it is an ancient relic... Its age is unimaginable, but its material and residual Daoist charm are extraordinary." Master Lingxu put away the fragments, his doubts deepening.
What was the Chaotic Sky Sea like before it became a forbidden zone?
Why are there ancient relics related to the moon?
What is the connection between this and the activities of the Jijie Zen Monastery here?
Just as he stopped to carefully sense whether an energy vortex ahead was safe, a special soul tablet in his arms suddenly emitted an extremely slight tremor.
It's Mingchuan!
Lingxu Zhenren immediately tried to gently tap the soul tablet with his own divine sense, and the response indicated that he was still alive. However, he could not convey his location or situation.
After doing all this, he felt a little relieved.
At least they are not isolated and helpless.
He continued to explore, and the sensation of the Moonlight Guiding Token became clearer and clearer.
After passing through a stone forest composed of twisted, metallic rocks, the scenery suddenly changed.
This is a natural valley located in the heart of a landmass, surrounded on three sides by towering cliffs that shimmer with an unusual metallic sheen.
The bottom of the valley is relatively flat, and a dilapidated stone platform stands prominently in the center.
The stone platform was circular, about three zhang in diameter, and made of warm, silvery stone, but it was now covered with cracks and most of it had collapsed.
On the surface of the stone platform, there is an engraved silver magic circle that is countless times more complex and precise than the broken ring inside the cave!
