"Origin Elixir King, what do you think we should do? There are only a few hours left before the deadline set by that witch. Are we just going to sit around and wait for our deaths? Are we going to die along with the True Dipper Sect, the Yaoguang Empire, and the Ling family? "
Hundreds of people sat in front of the main hall of the Star Official Palace on the Heaven Reaching Peak of the Heavenly Dipper Continent. They were all gathered in groups and discussing something. What was slightly unusual was that each of the hundreds of cultivators gathered here was deeply worried and frowning.
Even the highly respected Elixir King Yuan Chen, the number one alchemist in the entire Heavenly Dipper Continent, had a grave expression on his face. At this moment, dozens of prominent figures of the Heavenly Dipper Continent were gathered around the Origin Elixir King, who was currently unparalleled in the Heavenly Dipper Continent.
If Ling Dong were here at this moment, he would realize that the cultivators gathered in front of the Star Official Palace on the Heaven Reaching Peak were actually the most influential figures of the entire Heavenly Dipper Continent. More than half of them were old acquaintances of Ling Dong.
Upon hearing the words of the other new Elixir King from the Xuanji Empire, Zhu Chengye, who was standing beside him, Yuan Chen's worried eyes suddenly turned cold. His head did not move, but his pitch-black eyes turned and shot a cold glance at the new Elixir King Zhu Chengye.
"Elixir King Zhu, if you have a solution or know something, why don't you go find that witch and tell her? In my opinion, even if that witch doesn't search your soul and destroy your spirit, I believe that you, Elixir King Zhu, or rather your family, will become the common enemy of the entire continent in the future! "
At this point, Yuan Chen's eyes darkened, and he said faintly, "Think twice before you act. If you take this step, no matter where you go, there will be rivers of blood. Unless any of you can withstand the retaliation of the True Dipper Sect, the Yaoguang Empire, and the Ling family, of course, including my retaliation!
In this old master's opinion, the number of masters who owe this old master their lives, or the number of cultivators who want to sell their lives to this old master, is not just one or two! "
Yuan Chen's words sounded like both advice and a warning. However, in the ears of the dozens of cultivators around Yuan Chen, it was a threat, a blatant threat.
It was a threat to those who dared to destroy the current unity and stab them in the back.
"I … I didn't mean it that way. I'm just worried about the people of the world …" The new pill king, Zhu Chengye, who had been warned by Yuan Chen, had an awkward expression on his face. He tried to defend himself feebly. "That witch's methods are bloody, but she's a woman of her word."
Yuan Chen didn't even look at Zhu Chengye when he saw his reaction. He only said calmly, "Just wait quietly and look for changes in the quiet. How should he deal with this? At the very least, he had to figure out why the demoness had created such a huge formation to search for Star Official You.
What was her relationship with Star Official You? Was she here to seek revenge, repay a favor, or something else? Where did Star Official You go? Did something happen to him? Wait a minute! If we don't figure this out and act rashly, we'll be inviting disaster! "
After saying that, Yuan Chen glanced at the people from the True Gang Sect and the Ling family who were gathered nearby. He then lowered his eyes and fell into deep thought.
Under the influence of Yuan Chen's might, the people around him suddenly fell silent. They glanced at the sky from time to time, their eyes filled with anxiety.
"Sect Master Tu, Elder Chu, for the past decade or so, Star Official You's orders have always been conveyed to the entire continent. Where did Star Official You go? Why didn't you tell that witch directly? Are you going to drag the billions of lives on the continent down with you?" The Bright Sword Sect's sect master, Qiao Yundong, asked aggressively.
Tu Bai, who was already middle-aged, exchanged glances with his master, Chu Fangyue. They could see the shock in each other's eyes. Under that witch's terrifying might, the thing they were most worried about had finally happened.
"Sect Master Qiao, what do you mean by this? At this critical juncture, we should be united and overcome this difficulty together. How can we blame each other? If Sect Master Tu and Elder Chu knew about Star Official You's whereabouts, why didn't they tell that witch? "Emperor Pengcheng of the Alkaid Empire, who had become more dignified in recent years, was also here.
When he heard the Bright Sword Sect's sect master, Qiao Yundong's questioning, his face darkened. He shouted at the Bright Sword Sect's sect master, Qiao Yundong, who had already become the sect master of the Alkaid Empire.
"Sigh, I'm afraid that even if Sect Master Tu and Elder Chu knew about Star Official You's whereabouts, it would be hard to predict whether it would be a blessing or a curse if that witch knew about it. Who knows why that witch is looking for Star Official You. It's fine if she's looking for him, but if she's looking for revenge, will you, Sect Master Qiao, bear the consequences of Star Official's actions? "Bai Lianxing, who was also standing by the side, said.
The previous Stalwart Star Pavilion's sect master, Bai Jun, had already ascended to the Wood Puppet Realm several years ago. The position of Stalwart Star Pavilion's sect master had been taken over by the previous Young Stalwart Star Pavilion's sect master, Bai Lianxing.
The current Tian Gang Continent was somewhat different from when Ling Dong had first left. The original empires, with the support of a few major sects, had completed their own annexations after years of war. Gradually, a situation of three empires was formed.
In any case, as long as the other two empires were present, it was impossible for one to dominate the continent. Furthermore, the martial arts sects of the three empires had a tacit understanding that they would no longer go to war. Instead, it was an extremely stable situation.
Right now, the only powers that could influence the situation on the Tian Gang Continent were one sect, one family, one pavilion, two sects, and three empires.
Among them, the three empires were the Xuanji Empire, the Kaiyang Empire, and the Alkaid Empire. One of them was the True Gang Sect. At the same time, the True Gang Sect was also the martial arts sect of the Kaiyang Empire. At the same time, they had a very deep relationship with the royal family of the Alkaid Empire.
One of them was the Ling family, who was currently at the peak of power in the Alkaid Empire. Currently, the Ling family controlled almost a third of the military and political power in the Alkaid Empire. It wasn't an exaggeration to call them the martial arts sect of the Alkaid Empire. At the same time, the Alkaid Empire also had the martial arts sect of the Bright Sword Sect.
The Bright Sword Sect, the Ling family, and the True Gang Sect had a very deep relationship with each other. With the support of these three powerful sects, it was almost impossible for the Alkaid Empire to go to war with the Kaiyang Empire.
The other empire, the Xuanji Empire, was in a bit of a predicament. They had supported a martial arts sect of their own called the Jade Pedestal Sect. It was a new sect and was quite powerful. However, compared to the power of the Bright Sword Sect, the True Gang Sect, and the Ling family, it was a little lacking.
As a result, the Xuanji Empire, one of the three empires, was at a disadvantage. However, the other top power in the Tian Gang Continent, the Kuixing Pavilion, was secretly supporting the Xuanji Empire even though they claimed to be completely public and didn't lean towards any of the empires.
As a result, the three empires were evenly matched and in a delicate state of balance, which brought a rare peace to the Tian Gang Continent.
It was also because of this delicate balance that the Tian Gang Continent was so united when the blood-robed demoness suddenly attacked the Tian Gang Continent half a month ago.
Of course, the one who contributed the most was the highly respected Elixir King, Yuan Chen. Over the years, Yuan Chen had made friends with people all over the world. Half of the top experts in the entire Heavenly Dipper Continent owed Yuan Chen a favor or had received favors from him.
Therefore, when the blood-robed demoness attacked the Tian Gang Continent, Yuan Chen only said four words to maintain the current stable situation.
"Let's wait and see!"
Of course, this wasn't all due to Yuan Chen. This had a lot to do with the fact that the True Gang Sect was able to deter the Ling family with their strength, as well as the Emperor of the Yaoguang Empire, Bi Pengcheng's unwavering support for the Ling family. He protected the Ling family and the True Gang Sect.
After all, the current number one expert in the Tian Gang Continent, Chu Fangyue's strength was unfathomable. Even though the blood-robed demoness had caused a lot of bloodshed and caused the people of the Tian Gang Continent to waver, there hadn't been any major chaos yet.
About half a month ago, a somewhat crazy blood-robed demoness suddenly barged into the Xuanji Empire of the Tian Gang Continent. She asked everyone she met about the whereabouts of a martial artist named 'You Qianjun'.
Poor ordinary people in the Tian Gang Continent. Who knew the whereabouts of Celestial Official You Qianjun? It was even their first time hearing his name. If the answer was fast enough, the blood-robed demoness would throw the person who was being questioned away.
However, the force of the throw was extremely terrifying. Even a Tian Gang Realm martial artist would be severely injured if not killed by the force of the throw. Those who answered slowly or hesitated slightly would have their soul searched and their spirit destroyed. It was extremely terrifying.
For this reason, the Xuanji Empire sent out dozens of Tian Gang Realm martial artists and even tens of thousands of soldiers to deal with the demoness. However, they were all destroyed by the demoness with a raise of her hand.
In the end, it was the Zither Saint of the Xuanji Empire who gave the opportunity for the blood-robed demoness to have a peaceful conversation with him. Perhaps it was because of the Zither Saint's zither music that the blood-robed demoness seemed to have calmed down.
After that, the blood-robed demoness used her great power to condense a blood order on the Heaven Reaching Peak. The content of the blood order was: "Before April 18th, if there is no news of Celestial Official You Qianjun, a bloodbath will take place in the Tian Gang Continent!"
Of course, during this process, the blood-robed demoness went around the three empires to spread her martial prowess. She searched for Celestial Official You Qianjun's whereabouts everywhere. At the same time, she also went to the Celestial Official Palace on the Heaven Reaching Peak.
However, what surprised the world was that the True Dipper Sect's martial artists who had been stationed in the Heavenly Star Official Palace for a long time had all been searched by the Blood-robed Siren. However, when the Blood-robed Siren attacked the True Dipper Sect, the True Dipper Sect remained unscathed.
It was also this situation that surprised everyone on the Tian Gang Continent. They were hesitant and did not know what to do. After all, the True Gang Sect was the spokesperson of Celestial Official You Qianjun. This was something that everyone on the Tian Gang Continent knew.
It was also this strange situation that suppressed the situation on the Tian Gang Continent, resulting in the gathering of heroes today. However, even though the situation was suppressed, as the deadline approached, the thoughts of the various forces became more and more intense. Undercurrents were surging.
"Pavilion Master Bai, it's easy to say, but this matter concerns the lives of the world. How can this old man …"
Qiao Yundong's words were only halfway through when the former Bai Shaokui, now Bai Lianxing's expression changed. He pointed to a red light that suddenly floated over and said with a solemn expression, "The blood-robed demoness is here!"
