"All in all!"
After saying that, Qi Zhongdao suddenly beamed with brutality. "If you want to make a name for yourself in the Great Qian Dynasty, we will certainly not stop you, Master Spiritual Vulture. But if you break the rules that everybody lives on, all the Cultivators in the world will beat you to death. Even the Purple Pole Sword Sect will not be able to protect you, and I will do everything in my power to nail you to death!
"You can take your time to consider whether or not to accept the 'rules', Master Spiritual Vulture!"
It was the first head-on confrontation between Li Yao and Qi Zhongdao.
The confrontation made Li Yao understand why Dan Fengzi, leader of the Purple Pole Sword Sect, had warned Yan Liren time and time again not to kill Qi Zhongdao.
He also understood why the leader of the Cultivators was still Qi Zhongdao instead of Yan Liren, even though Yan Liren's combat ability was slightly higher than Qi Zhongdao's.
After three months, Qi Zhongdao was darker and thinner than before. His face was emotionless the whole time. Rust seemed to have grown on his face that seemed to be embedded with an iron shell.
"The febrile typhoon is here."
After Li Yao and Yan Liren took their seats, Qi Zhongdao went straight to the point without greeting them.
Li Yao had naturally heard of the super natural disaster known as' febrile typhoon 'before.
The Ancient Sages Sector was different from the Tian Yuan Realm. This Sector had been locked for a hundred thousand years. The spiritual energy had nowhere to escape, and its density was much higher than that of the outside world.
The excessive spiritual energy had certain side effects other than the convenience of the Cultivators' training.
As far as Li Yao knew, there were at least two disadvantages.
Firstly, because the spiritual energy was too abundant and nurtured everything in the universe, the animals and plants in the Ancient Sages Sector were much larger in size than those in the regular worlds. It was also easier for them to mutate into spiritual beasts, demon beasts, and etherealized plants. Some of them were rather brutal and posed a serious threat to ordinary people and low-level Cultivators.
The famous mountains and rivers of the Ancient Sages Sector were mostly primitive forests that had been nurtured by spiritual energy. The forests that were dark all year round were teeming with all kinds of terrifying ferocious beasts that could never be exterminated.
Even the Yuanying Old Monsters wouldn't dare to venture into some of the infamous danger zones alone.
It was the root of the prosperity of the Cultivation sects, but it was also the objective reason why the sects could not truly unify the country because of their sects' encirclement.
This was because all the major prefectures and prefectures in the world were blocked by these dangerous places. The imperial court, which was in charge of the Divine Capital, could not do anything to the local prefectures!
Secondly, it was a natural disaster!
The more abundant the spiritual energy was, the more intense the circulation of spiritual energy would be, and the more unstable the magnetic field of the entire planet would be.
Within the atmosphere and above the crust, it was the increase and intensification of the extreme weather, as well as the super catastrophes that contained violent spiritual energy that even the Cultivators had to shrink back in fear.
In the Tian Yuan Realm, the natural disasters such as' thunderstorms' and 'sandstorms' that occasionally occurred on the Grand Desolate Plateau were everywhere in the Ancient Sages Sector. They were common weather phenomena.
Even the natural disasters such as landslides, earthquakes, tsunamis, tornadoes, and so on, which were relatively less intense, could escalate into super catastrophes instantly if they were mixed with tremendous violent spiritual energy and caused spiritual energy resonance!
Febrile typhoons were one of the most dreadful super catastrophes in the Ancient Sages Sector.
They were originally superstorms generated on the tropical ocean. However, on their way to the continent, they were attracted by nature and mixed with the 'tempests' that were wandering below the atmosphere and contained tremendous violent spiritual energy, turning into highly destructive febrile typhoons!
According to the nature of the mixed spiritual energy, the febrile typhoons would show different features, too.
Some of the extremely cold febrile typhoons would turn everything they reached into a world of ice and snow when they landed. All the creatures would be frozen and shattered.
Some of the febrile typhoons that contained the power of thunder would crawl on the ground like a bunch of lightning dragons. Whatever they grabbed, they would be electrocuted into charcoal!
However, most of the febrile typhoons were related to the spiritual energy of fire. Febrile typhoons were running flames. Wherever they went, they would leave a scorching hell. Even if the disaster victims were lucky enough to survive the disaster, the crops in the fields would certainly be killed.
'Febrile typhoon' meant 'wind that could burn everything' at the very beginning.
If that was all, the febrile typhoons were not exactly 'super catastrophes'.
The scariest thing about the febrile typhoons was that there was no telling what mysteries were hidden in the magnetic field of the febrile typhoons. The creatures that were killed miserably by the febrile typhoons, or even when their bodies were swept by the febrile typhoons after they died, might trigger mutations in their remaining souls and turn them into hideous ghosts!
Li Yao had learned a thing or two on his way to the east of the Sorcerers' River. Han Yuantai had blamed the rise of the White Lotus Cult on the 'Jade Crystal Pellet', but it had been an exaggeration.
Of course, the Jade Crystal Pellet was part of the reason. However, when the febrile typhoons passed by, a lot of dead people would be resurrected, and the remaining souls would turn into ghosts. It was also an important reason why the White Lotus Cult could never annihilate them.
It was often the case that every time the White Lotus Cult was about to run out of resources, a febrile typhoon would arrive and turn countless poor disaster victims into ghosts and become the White Lotus Cult's manpower.
"The febrile typhoons this year are particularly dangerous. Three days ago, a febrile typhoon landed in the southeast and caused a lot of damage. But ten days later, another febrile typhoon of an even larger scale will probably march north close to the southeast coast. If the febrile typhoons deviate from its course and land again, it will be another catastrophe!"
Qi Zhongdao explained the situation in the southeast to the Purple Pole Sword Sect. "What is even worse is that the two febrile typhoons landed at exactly the same time as the spring flood on the Sorcerers' River!
"The wind is strong, and the water is high. The scale of the spring flood on the Sorcerers' River this time is unparalleled in the past decades. If the dyke collapses and the Sorcerers' River changes its course, it is very likely that a large-scale flood area will be created!
"In the flood area, too many people will be displaced and killed. The remaining souls of those people will not disperse so quickly. When the febrile typhoons hit them again, it is very possible that they will turn into the most brutal ghosts. An army of a million ghosts will march forward and corrupt the prosperous land in the southeast of the Great Qian Dynasty!
"'Mother White Lotus' Wan Mingzhu will certainly not let go of such a great opportunity. The Grand Mystery Sect has received news that Wan Mingzhu's ghost has appeared near East Peace County. By then, it is very possible that she will lead an army of a million ghosts to attack East Peace County!"
The news cast everybody of the Purple Pole Sword Sect into silence.
Even Li Yao's lips were twitching uncontrollably.
East Peace County was a famous city in the southeast of the Great Qian Dynasty. Although it was not as large as the capital city, it was even more prosperous than the capital city. For thousands of years, it had always been an important town for Cultivation in the southeast. The headquarters of dozens of Cultivation sects were all established near East Peace County.
If East Peace County was besieged by the White Lotus ghoul army, even if it was just a bluff, it would still be a shocking event. The Heaven Battering Army in the northwest would certainly be revived, and the people of Ghost Qin in the Dark Cloud Prairies would be even more ambitious!
"The thirty-three sects in the southeast near East Peace County have asked for help from all the Cultivators in the world. They hope that fellow Cultivators everywhere can give them a hand and save East Peace County from the catastrophe!"
Qi Zhongdao continued. "Right now, Master Bitter Cicada of the Stupa Sect has gone to the southeast to appease the deceased. It is said that Fellow Cultivator Ba Xiaoyu the Beggar is among the refugees to pacify them and resist the natural disaster!"
Li Yao felt that his heart was warmed.
If he were to rank the top ten experts of the Ancient Sages Sector, Master Bitter Cicada of the Stupa Sect and Ba Xiaoyu, who called himself 'the Beggar', would be the two most deserving of his respect.
In all the three thousand Sectors, there were religions and schools whose ambition was to liberate all living creatures. In the Ancient Sages Sector, such heritages were known as' Stupa Sects'.
Master Bitter Cicada of the Stupa Sect was a Cultivator who truly boasted great wisdom and enlightenment. Although he was on par with the Three Saints and Four Rapscallions, he was never involved in the conflicts of interests in the world of Cultivators. His sole focus was on resisting the natural disasters.
Wherever there was a natural disaster, Master Bitter Cicada would be there. He would relieve the victims, appease the deceased, and pacify the people. He was highly respected among the ordinary people.
It was the same for Ba Xiaoyu the Beggar.
His focus was not on relieving the victims but on dealing with the nobles and Cultivation sects who had made a fortune in the natural disasters. He often made the shameless officials and Cultivators suffer in embarrassment through all kinds of hilarious approaches.
Even by the standards of the modern Cultivation civilization, the two seniors could be called real Cultivators.
Li Yao had been meaning to get in touch with the two of them for a long time, but he had never had a chance.
'Mother White Lotus' Wan Mingzhu was also an important person on Li Yao's observation list. Or rather, an 'important ghost', Li Yao would like to meet the 'mother of all ghosts' in person!
"The southeast produces one third of the training resources of the entire Great Qian Dynasty. Nobody will benefit if it is corrupted!"
Staring at Yan Liren and Li Yao, Qi Zhongdao said, "I believe that your sect is well aware of the stakes involved. You will certainly send a large batch of reinforcements!
"However, if we only focus on resisting the natural disasters and driving away the army of ghouls as we did in the past, we will be treating the symptoms but not the root of the problem!
"'Mother White Lotus' Wan Mingzhu is the root of the riot of the White Lotus family. As long as Wan Mingzhu is not eliminated, the army of ghouls will come back again!
"Therefore, I hope that we can work together to eliminate the White Lotus Cult and execute Wan Mingzhu this time!
"Killing Wan Mingzhu is certainly not an easy task."
Dan Fengzi, leader of the Purple Pole Sword Sect, said, "Wan Mingzhu is a top expert who is qualified to be ranked among the top ten experts in the world. She is also an unpredictable, unpredictable ghost who can possess a living person at will. She can take on all kinds of forms and take on all kinds of unpredictable forms!
"It will not be easy to catch her, much less execute her!"
It was not an excuse but a real concern.
For the Cultivators of Li Yao's, Yan Liren's, and Qi Zhongdao's level, it was one thing to 'defeat' them, and it was another thing to 'kill' them. The latter was ten times more difficult than the former!
Li Yao and Qi Zhongdao were no match for Yan Liren, but if the two of them were determined to escape with all kinds of life-saving methods, it would be difficult for Yan Liren to execute them easily, too.
They were living human beings with fleshly bodies after all, while Wan Mingzhu was an unpredictable ghost. Naturally, it would be even more difficult for her to be executed.

Thank you for your support. Yesterday, this book finally broke through the historical threshold of ten. I am truly grateful to the eleven leaders of the alliance, the grandmasters, and all the friends who have supported me in every way possible. Had it not been for all of you, the book wouldn't have made it to this day. It was almost four million and a half words, and it was only halfway done!
Hahahaha. However, there was nothing else that I could do in the past two days. I had just gone to the hospital with my wife for a checkup today, and it would be my son's first kindergarten the next day. I had to prepare all kinds of things and materials. I even had to hand in two sets of homework, such as handicrafts and drawings. I had to do it myself!
