Chapter 180: Let the Battle Start (1)
Lady Liu Xi and Lady Luo Zheng didn’t stay long in the Feng Shen Sea. They showed Luo Jianqing and Mo Qiu the way to join the major team of Fei Hua Sect and then left for the Ku Mountain immediately. The two ladies had lost their minds and would risk anything to grasp a glimmer of hope of getting Lady Feng Si back.
The saint pill of the Fei Hua Sect enabled Luo Jianqing to resume his power rapidly.
He wasn’t able to stop the collapse of the Ku Mountain. Even if he was anxious now, he clearly knew that he couldn’t save Xuan Lingzi with his own power. Therefore, Luo Jianqing went straight to the major team of cultivators outside the Northern Land of Arctic.
The collapse of the Ku Mountain; the encounter with demons.
These two accidents were extremely vital. If Lady Liu Xi and Lady Luo Zheng had retained even a little bit reasons, they wouldn’t have gone after Lady Feng Si. Instead, they would have led Luo Jianqing and Xuan Lingzi out of the Northern Land of Arctic and told others what happened.
However, there was no “if”. Luo Jianqing and Mo Qiu flew along the fringe of the Feng Shen Sea cautiously. They kept looking around and sped up, flying out of the Northern Land of Arctic.
Currently, Four Sects had gathered in the Sand Buried Forest outside the Northern Land of Arctic. Except Cang Family and Wei Family that were relatively far from the Northern Land of Arctic, other six clans had joined the major team.
The phantasm aroma of the Parting Sorrow Trees didn’t have much impact on those masters. They gathered here to discuss the world-shaking accident- the collapse of the Ku Mountain.
Given the warning of Lady Feng Si, no one dared to enter the Northern Land of Arctic rashly. They all exercised the highest vigilance.
All due to the falling of Lady Feng Si.
There were altogether ten late-stage Da Sheng Period cultivators, and now one of them had fallen.
Although Lady Feng Si was the weakest among them, she was still one of the most powerful cultivators. No one could imagine what a tremendous power could kill such an outstanding master and render her unable to escape.
Not knowing the answer, even the most powerful Sir Guang Lingzi and Supreme Master Gui Yan dared not act. They knew that, besides the falling of Lady Feng Si, even Xuan Lingzi had failed to prevent the collapse of the Ku Mountain, and his Life Lantern was much dimmer.
Therefore, they all fell into impa.s.se.
After three days’ anxiety, Sir Yu Qingzi ultimately came to Guang Lingzi and said, “Xuan Lingzi was just in the Northern Land of Arctic, hovering between life and death. Aren’t you worried about him?”
Although Sir Guang Lingzi was a rugged and earthy man, he also possessed sensitivity. He comforted with a doleful frown, “Worry doesn’t help at the moment. Even you and I together are not comparable with him. If he couldn’t handle that, what can we do? You are just throwing yourself into panic. Just wait for other news. The Fei Hua Sect has sent messenger to the Fiend Palace. The Fiend Exalt will definitely come unless he is insane.
The team of the Fiend Palace didn’t come until the next day.
The Chief Steward Qi Luo stepped forward and came to the point, “So what the h.e.l.l happened in the Northern Land of Arctic?”
Her att.i.tude offended some Dao Cultivators. However, Sir Yu Qingzi ignored that and said, “Ten days ago, the Ku Mountain of the Northern Land of Arctic collapsed. Lady Feng Si of the Fei Hua Sect informed us of this accident before her falling.” After a pause, Yu Qingzi asked straightly, “The Fiend Exalt doesn’t join us?”
When she heard about the accident, Qi Luo was extremely shocked. However, when asked about the Fiend Exalt, she pretended a calm face and said, “The Exalt is conducting close-door cultivation, so any bother is forbidden. That said, the Palace will not stand aside on this matter.”
Her answer extinguished the hope of Sir Yu Qingzi.
In the following days, the team began to discuss how to cope with the catastrophe. Many sects and clans had sent their cultivators to search for other trapped cultivators in the Northern Land of Arctic. Sir Huo Mingzi of Tai Hua Mountain even entered there himself, with a single purpose: searching for Xuan Lingzi and Luo Jianqing!
After the collapse, the vibe of the Northern Land of Arctic was disordered and thus, messages couldn’t be sent in or out. So, the team couldn’t contact others inside.
It was quite strange that besides Tai Hua Mountain, the Fiend Palace also sent cultivators into the Northern Land of Arctic. Of course, no one would ask about the affairs of the Palace, but they all noticed this unusual arrangement and had their own guesses.
Three days later, the team made the final decision.
Evacuate all the cultivators in Chong State and all the ordinary people in Chao State.
If the collapse of the Ku Mountain was inevitable, then they had to minimize the costs and casualties.
Some people might not understand why cultivators that didn’t belong to the ordinary world cared about these ordinary people. That was because cultivators originated from the ordinary world, and thus the ordinary people were the foundation of the cultivation world. For any cultivators, saving so many people was a great service to humans.
From the ancient times, there were some cultivators transforming to deities due to their boundless kindness. If they overlooked the death of hundreds of millions of ordinary people, they would suffer from backlash. Even if they survived, they would spend the rest of life in sorrows and guilts.
After the discussion, the Four Sects led by Tai Hua Mountain went deep into the Northern Land of Arctic in search for other survivors. Meanwhile, they needed to find out the truth of this collapse. The Fiend Palace and the Eight Clans were responsible for evacuating other cultivators and ordinary people in case of another collapse and further disasters.
Everything seemed to be arranged in good order, yet they were ridden with potential crisis, which no one wanted to touch.
