Three days had passed, but they still couldn't contact Lin Yun, nor did they have any information about Lin Yun's whereabouts.
Some of them were already certain that Lin Yun had died in battle.
"Holy Island Lord! Do you have a better idea now? " Unlike the gentle and refined Zhong Shudao from before, Zhong Shudao's lips curled into a cold smile as he continued to look at the report in his hands.
"Previously, you said that you wanted the commoners to retreat in as well!"
"Now that the Darkness Sect hasn't launched an attack, it's the best opportunity!" Seijen suppressed his anger. He had a feeling that Zhong Shudao was going back on his words. After all, Zhong Shudao had said that he wanted to bring all the commoners of the East Sea to the headquarters.
Moreover, in these three days, they realized that Tu Shenzong's headquarters was very safe. If not for someone purposely leaking their location, the Darkness Sect might not have discovered this place.
"This is the current goal of the Darkness Sect. Do you think that they didn't do anything in these three days? "Zhong Shudao put down the report in his hands and stood up. He looked at Seijen and explained.
"On the first day, the three territories discovered ten Darkness Sect scout teams each."
"On the second day, the number of Darkness Sect scout teams discovered in the east has already reached thirty!"
"On the third day, all of the Darkness Sect's scout teams have gathered in the east."
"Today, in just half a day, we have already discovered no less than thirty scout teams." Zhong Shudao passed the report in his hands to Seijen and sighed. "Holy Island Lord, the headquarters is our only support."
"The Darkness Sect also understands that in order to uproot us, they have to destroy our headquarters."
"They purposely didn't fight because they wanted us to bring the commoners here, so that they could find out our location."
"If we bring the commoners here now, aren't we falling into their trap?"
Zhong Shudao explained patiently. Before Lin Yun left, he had entrusted the entire Tu Shenzong to him. He definitely wouldn't let Lin Yun down. He would definitely protect Tu Shenzong well.
"Even so, are we going to disregard the lives of these commoners?!" Seijen's eyes widened in anger.
He had lived in the East Sea since young, and was an elder with his fellow villagers.
Now that the East Sea had been invaded by the Darkness Sect, his fellow villagers had to leave their homes in search of a way out. Were they going to disregard them now?
"Holy Island Lord, I hope that you can look at the bigger picture. The only thing we can do now is to avoid battle and wait for Lord Lin Yun 'return." Regardless of how the rumors spread in the outside world, and regardless of how long it had been since they received any news from Lin Yun, everyone in the God Massacring Sect knew that Lin Yun wouldn't die so easily.
One day, Lin Yun would return triumphantly and defeat the strong enemies.
Before that, every single person in Tu Shenzong had the obligation to protect this territory for Lin Yun!
"How stubborn!" Seijen waved his sleeves and said coldly, "Although I respect Sect Leader Lin, it is a fact that he has died!"
"I can't bet the lives of the six million commoners of the East Sea on Sect Leader Lin!"
"A load of nonsense!"
"What are you talking about!"
"Our Sect Leader is not dead!"
In an instant, the people led by Shanghai Xiayan were enraged. Their faces turned red as they shouted angrily.
This included Lin Yun, who was like a god to them. They would not allow anyone to tarnish Lin Yun's reputation.
"What are you doing!"
"How dare you scold the Holy Island Lord?"
"Are you courting death?"
At the same time, the people of the East Sea also expressed their anger. Seijen had stood up for the East Sea many times in times of crisis. In their hearts, Seijen was like a god.
"All of you, shut up! Stop arguing! " Zhong Shudao walked down the stairs and shouted loudly. Instantly, the clamorous voices in the hall quietened down.
Everyone saw Zhong Shudao walk in front of Seijen. He bowed to Seijen and said seriously, "Sacred Island Lord, we cannot have internal strife now that we are facing a great enemy."
"I hope that you can look at the bigger picture. We can discuss this slowly."
Seijen snorted coldly and did not say anything else. After all, he knew that if they continued arguing like this, their morale would be completely shattered before the Dark Sect could defeat them.
At the same time, the huge army of the Dark Sect could be seen far away in the East Sea.
There was an endless sea of people and military flags fluttered in the wind.
Zhao Lifeng was currently occupying Saint Island with his army. In an hour, the upper echelons of the Dark Sect would head to Central Island for a meeting.
The purpose of this meeting was to discuss how to find the location of Tu Shenzong's headquarters.
In the main hall of Saint Island, Zhao Lifeng sat lazily on his throne. His subordinates were kneeling at the foot of the stairs. There were more than 10 powerhouses who had reached the level of Wu Huang.
At that moment, a soldier walked into the main hall and knelt on one knee. "Sir, there is a person outside who wishes to see you. He says that he is the son of an old friend of yours!"
"The son of an old friend?" Zhao Lifeng frowned and waved his hand casually, gesturing for the soldier to bring the person in.
A moment later, a man wearing a cat mask walked in slowly from outside the main hall.
Everyone stood to the side and looked at the man in the cat mask with puzzled expressions.
"Greetings, Sir Zhao!" The man walked to the foot of the stairs and prostrated himself on the ground. He was extremely sincere.
"You said that you are the son of an old friend of mine?" Zhao Lifeng looked at the man with interest. Even though the man was wearing a mask, it was not difficult for Zhao Lifeng to see his appearance under the mask given his cultivation level.
However, he was a little puzzled, as he did not know this person.
"Yes, Sir Zhao. My father's name is Ye Qin. When he was alive, he was a subordinate of Sir Zhao, "the man in the cat mask explained.
"Ye Qin …" Zhao Lifeng muttered the name. After a moment, he suddenly realized something and recalled some memories about the name.
Ye Qin was someone he had gotten to know when he had been training in the Northeast Region more than 100 years ago.
This person was rather talented and had a straightforward personality. However, he was ruthless when he did things, which suited Zhao Lifeng's taste.
When Zhao Lifeng became the Emperor of the Northeast Region, he had recruited this person to be his subordinate. However, due to certain reasons, Ye Qin had left the sect that Zhao Lifeng had established. After that, there had been no contact between them.
"Do you have any proof that you are Ye Qin's son?" Zhao Lifeng could not help but sigh as he recalled the past.
