In the following time, more than ten cultivators from the Southern Barbarian factions arrived one after another. The entire hall was suddenly filled with more than thirty Jin Dan elders of the Southern Barbarian factions. Each of them wore a solemn expression on their faces.
Liu Ming took a panoramic view of this and raised his eyebrows. His originally disapproving heart suddenly faded a lot.
"Well, those who should be here are all here. As the convener of this meeting, I won't waste any more words. The reason I've gathered everyone here is to deal with the giant insects that suddenly broke through the boundary." Elder Feng said with a solemn expression.
"Elder Feng, a large number of unknown insects suddenly appeared in the Southern Wasteland. Everyone here knows about this. We have no objections to expelling these insects and protecting the Southern Wasteland. However, regarding these insects, do you have any specific information? " A tall and sturdy man with red hair and blue eyes suddenly stood up and cupped his hands towards Elder Feng.
As soon as he said this, everyone present turned their heads to look. The red-haired man's expression didn't change in the slightest. He only looked straight at Elder Feng.
Liu Ming's gaze swept past the red-haired man and his eyes slightly moved.
This person's spiritual power was deep and profound. He was a cultivator at the peak of the late Jin Dan stage. Moreover, the muscles on his body were abnormally bulging. It seemed that he had cultivated some kind of body-refining secret technique.
"So it's a fellow cultivator from Brown Dragon Mountain. If you don't ask, I will naturally explain the information about these insects to you." Elder Feng faintly smiled.
After a pause, his expression became a bit more dignified. He continued to speak:
"According to the feedback of a large number of scouts sent out a few days ago, these insects came out from the Southern Wasteland Desert's spatial rift not long ago. Most of them have very low intelligence and only know how to kill. However, there are also some high-level giant insects that have gained intelligence. They call themselves the Stemborer Race. They should indeed be a foreign race from another world. Due to the lack of time, this old man didn't investigate which world these stemborers came from. However, the most powerful of these insects has reached the Celestial Phenomenon Realm. "
"Stemborer Race … Celestial Phenomenon Realm …"
When everyone present heard this, they couldn't help but suck in a breath of cold air.
When Liu Ming heard the words "Borer Tribe", his eyes flashed.
Although he had a few guesses in his heart, he was still shocked to hear it from the Earth Piercing Sect's Grand Elder.
At the end of the last Tianmen Gathering, one of the alien races he met claimed to be a member of the "Borer Race", and his cultivation had reached the Tongxuan realm!
Could these stemborers be of the same race as the Profound Stemborer Tribe?
If that was the case, then the most powerful cultivator in the Stemborer Tribe would not be the Celestial Phenomenon Realm that Elder Feng mentioned, but the Profound Enlightenment Realm!
Thinking of this, Liu Ming could not help but feel shocked.
"Some of you may not know about this Stemborer Clan, but as early as the ancient times, the Stemborer Clan had once invaded our Middle Sky Continent. However, they were repelled by the powerful figures of our Middle Sky Continent. Since then, they have never appeared again." Shi Hou of Sky Monster Valley said faintly.
As soon as this was said, the expressions of everyone present changed again.
"According to Senior Shi Hou, could it be that the invasion of the Stemborer Clan was premeditated, and their target should be the entire Middle Sky Continent?" A quick-witted cultivator asked in shock.
"After some discussion, we feel that this is a possibility. However, there are very few records about the Stemborer Clan, so we don't know much. "The lion-faced man of Sky Monster Valley exchanged a glance with the other two Celestial Phenomenon cultivators before speaking slowly.
After hearing this, the expressions of all the cultivators present became extremely unsightly.
There were no idiots here. If the Stemborer Clan really had such ambitions, then they would definitely have more than just the current scale. There would definitely be hundreds or even thousands of giant insects breaking through the realm. It was not something that the cultivators gathered here could withstand.
Even if they gathered all the forces of the entire Southern Desolate Region, their chances of victory would not be high.
In the history of the Middle Sky Continent, there have been many instances of foreign invasions. The most powerful one was the invasion of the Devil Clan, which caused the entire human world to lose an entire continent. Although none of the people present had personally experienced it, they could still imagine the carnage at that time from various unofficial histories.
"Everyone, there is no need to worry too much. The possibility of a realm war is very low. What we just said is only our speculation. There is no concrete evidence. Perhaps the Stemborer Clan broke through the realm and arrived here by chance." Elder Feng of the Earth Penetrating Sect saw the expressions of everyone present and coughed lightly in a reassuring manner.
Elder Feng's words eased the expressions of some of the cultivators present, but most of them still wore grave expressions.
"Dare I ask Senior Feng, what do you plan to do next?" The red-haired man remained calm and asked in a low voice.
"I have already sent people to the four ancient sects in the hinterland of the Central Plains to ask for reinforcements. Presumably, there will be reinforcements coming soon. On the other hand, after discussing with several fellow cultivators, I feel that we should have the awareness of a protracted war and integrate all the forces of the Southern Desolate Region to form a true alliance. At the same time, we should take advantage of the terrain advantage of Mount Che Di to repel and delay the invasion of the Stemborer Clan to buy time for the arrival of reinforcements. What do you think? "Elder Feng looked around. When his gaze swept past Liu Ming, he paused slightly and said in a deep voice.
As soon as this statement came out, there was a lot of discussion!
Now that the cultivators gathered in Mount Che Di, although the cultivators were mainly from the Earth Penetrating Sect, Sand Transformation Sect, Sky Beastkin Valley, and Golden Barbarian Tribe, the Jin Dan cultivators present represented many small and medium-sized forces. When these forces were gathered together, they were not inferior to the combined forces of the four ancient sects.
At this time, Elder Feng and the other three Celestial State cultivators did not say anything, they just waited quietly.
After a long while, the sounds of discussion gradually came to a stop. After a series of votes, basically everyone present agreed to Elder Feng's suggestion.
After all, the Southern Desolate Region had been ravaged by the Stemborer Clan. There was no place to hide. Instead of fleeing in all directions and eventually being defeated by the Stemborer Clan, it was better to unite with the Earth Penetrating Sect and the other ten thousand year old sects.
A few people did not agree on the spot, but after getting their doubts answered by the three Celestial State Supreme Elders, they finally agreed one by one.
"Good, then I, Feng, thank you all for your great support!" Elder Feng said with great joy.
This time, the Earth Penetrating Sect would be the host. Whether it was reputation or benefits, it would certainly be greatly improved.
"As for the details of the alliance, since everyone is here, we will discuss it first …" Elder Feng cleared his throat and continued.
Liu Ming's face showed a dull expression. It was obvious that he was not interested in the discussion.
He rubbed his chin and silently recalled some of the characteristics of the Stemborer Clan monster he saw at the Heavenly Gate Conference.
Several hours later, after a heated discussion, apart from the Earth Penetrating Sect's Elder Feng as the alliance leader and the three Celestial State Supreme Elders as the deputy alliance leaders, the discussion did not produce much result.
However, Liu Ming was unexpectedly recommended by Elder Feng to be the temporary contact of the Taiqing Gate. This caused Liu Ming to not know whether to laugh or cry.
Only when night fell did the crowd disperse.
The Earth Penetrating Sect could be considered a large sect. They had arranged independent residences for every Jin Dan cultivator that came, and Liu Ming's residence was quite comfortable.
He went to his residence and closed his door to cultivate. He did not participate in the next few days of meetings.
Several days later.
In a cave residence in the Earth Penetrating Mountain.
At the moment, Liu Ming was sitting cross-legged on a stone bed, motionless. His whole body was wrapped in a pitch-black mist.
As the black mist constantly changed shape, Liu Ming's breathing was also slow and rapid.
Suddenly, his expression changed. His hands quickly made a few hand signs. The black gas instantly rushed into the top of his head like a whale sucking in water. Then, he quickly opened his eyes. A shadow floated past, and arrived outside the cave residence's door.
"Liu, sorry to disturb you." A man, wearing a brownish-gray robe, whose cultivation was around the Crystal Level, saw Liu Ming suddenly appear in front of him like a ghost. He was shocked and hurriedly apologized.
"You are a disciple of the Earth Penetrating Mountain, right? What are you here for?" Liu Ming looked at the other person's clothing and asked with a frown.
"Senior, disciple was ordered by the Supreme Elder to invite Senior Liu to the main hall to discuss important matters." The brownish-gray robe man hurriedly said.
"I see, you can leave first!" Liu Ming nodded slightly and said thoughtfully.
Seeing this, the disciple of the Earth Penetrating Mountain cupped his fist at Liu Ming and left respectfully.
Liu Ming looked up at the sky. After a moment of hesitation, he left the cave house and flew toward the main hall in a stream of light.
Not long after, he came to the door of the stone hall.
At this time, in the main hall, four Celestial State cultivators were sitting on the main seats of the hall. Their lips were moving slightly as if they were arguing about something.
In addition, there were more than twenty Jin Dan State cultivators standing on both sides, listening to the words of the Celestial State cultivators.
"Greetings, seniors." After entering the hall, Liu Ming cupped his hands and bowed forward.
"I didn't expect Liu to come so soon. No need to be so polite, let's talk in front!" Elder Feng smiled lightly when he saw Liu Ming.
Xiang Sha Sect's old man and Sky Beastkin Valley's Shi Hou nodded slightly to Liu Ming.
Only the great ancestor of the Golden Savage Tribe stared at Liu Ming, but he didn't make any abnormal movements.
"May I know why seniors called me here?" Seeing this, Liu Ming walked slowly to the front of the cultivators and asked calmly.
"I just got an important intelligence from the spy. After discussing with the deputy leaders, we felt that it was of great importance, so we urgently summoned everyone here to discuss the big plan. Since Fellow Liu is here, most of the people are here. Why don't we begin? "Elder Feng spoke without hesitation.
