Chapter 476: The Tianlan Upheaval (Part II)

In the memories of the Illusion Night Demon Emperor, this detachment of the Outer Realm Evil Clan was not cut off from communication with their main base, but rather conducted a transmission every hundred years.

The most recent information exchange was ten years ago, and this is what made Xiao Han feel it was troublesome.

In the latest transmission, the Outer Realm Evil Clan was clearly unable to endure their army being blocked outside a defensive line constructed by mere natives of a lower plane, and they planned to dispatch a Mysterious Demon Emperor to forcibly break open the outer seal of Tianlan Continent after the Great Hunt.

Now, the Great Hunt has already ended for about two years, even if the Outer Realm Evil Clan needs to reorganize various affairs after the Great Hunt.

Calculating the time, the other party should be free to act now; the Mysterious Demon Emperor is about to strike.

Moreover, what made Xiao Han even more nervous was that although the cultivation system of Tianlan Continent was slightly peculiar, it was still just a mere lower plane; under normal circumstances, how could it attract the continuous attention of the Outer Realm Evil Clan's main base, to the extent that they would not hesitate to dispatch a powerhouse at the level of a Mysterious Demon Emperor for it?

This gave Xiao Han some bad guesses in his heart.

After all, although the location where Tianlan Continent was tucked away was remote, the distance to the Great Thousand World was neither far nor near; the Outer Realm Evil Clan's determination to occupy this plane was perhaps too firm, and the other party's plan to sneak into the lower plane might already be in execution, and it was only by coincidence that Xiao Han bumped into it.

Sorting out his thoughts, cold light shone in Xiao Han's eyes, and with a wave of his sleeve, the transparent barrier shrouding the surrounding space quietly dissipated.

"Who are you?!"

At this moment, a white-robed figure with an unpleasant expression suddenly appeared in the line of sight of the Outer Realm Evil Clan powerhouses who had been patrolling the surroundings, and they instinctively shouted loudly, after which more and more Outer Realm Evil Clan powerhouses surrounded him.

Seeing the wall of people that blocked all passage, Xiao Han, having learned the explosive news, had no intention of paying them any mind and pinched a seal with one hand.

"Boom!"

"Boom!"

In the fearful gaze of the Outer Realm Evil Clan, thousands of deep purple lightning bolts as thick as giant pythons smashed into the crowd.

Without even letting out a single wail, the gathered Outer Realm Evil Clan powerhouses were all reduced to ashes.

At the same time, countless Outer Realm Evil Clan powerhouses scattered on the periphery of Tianlan Continent were one by one named and attacked by an unknown force, dying on the spot.

The sudden fall of a large number of Outer Realm Evil Clan powerhouses led to a lack of leadership, and this mysterious hand of death plunged the Outer Realm Evil Clan army into long-lasting panic and chaos; in the end, the remaining dozens of Demon Generals among the Evil Clan exhausted their efforts and struck forcefully to stabilize the morale.

Knowing their strength was insufficient, they decisively requested reinforcements from their clan.

On the other side.

After parting ways with Xiao Han, a relaxed Liu Qingyang returned to Tianlan Hall; inside Qiantian Hall, the eight Elders felt the joyful atmosphere overflowing from Liu Qingyang and likewise felt their hearts lighten.

Elder Qin Hai asked expectantly:

"Hall Master, that mysterious powerhouse..."

"Eh!" Liu Qingyang uncharacteristically took the initiative to interrupt Qin Hai's words, and under the curious gazes of everyone, he slowly curled the corners of his mouth.

"First, that place..." Liu Qingyang looked upward and gestured slightly, "will cease to exist before long, and the problem that has plagued us is about to be solved."

"Is the Hall Master serious?"

Another Elder with a slightly impatient temper stood up abruptly, his face slightly flushed as he spoke.

The others did not have such an intense reaction, but their surprised and expectant gazes also exposed their emotions, even fearing that this was nothing more than a mirage.

The vast majority of them were not from Tianlan Hall, but were rogue cultivators and powerhouses from other sects, top geniuses of their generation, who had been personally recruited by Liu Qingyang to join Tianlan Hall after inadvertently learning the truth above the firmament of Tianlan Continent.

Being able to convince these proud and arrogant people did not rely solely on Liu Qingyang's strength, but even more on the original intention of Tianlan Hall; the philosophy of "Save Tianlan, expel the evil demons" was just right for these former geniuses and current powerhouses.

They had thought this would be a long tug-of-war lasting thousands or tens of thousands of years that they might not live to see the end of; they never expected the surprise to come so suddenly.

However, the accumulation of time had made their minds steady, and they soon calmed their thoughts, waiting for the content that followed.

"Second..."

Without keeping them in suspense, Liu Qingyang continued:

"That powerhouse promised that after this matter ends, he can guide the people of Tianlan Continent to the Great Thousand World to pursue higher realms and see a broader world."

"The Great Thousand World?"

With just one glance, Liu Qingyang understood the Elders' doubts, and then he introduced what he had heard about the Great Thousand World.

This news did not bring surprise to the group, but instead caused a round of frowning.

"Hall Master, why would that senior do this?"

"What does he need our Tianlan Continent to pay?"

An Elder took the initiative to ask.

This was also the thought of everyone present; if dealing with those monsters and ghosts on the periphery of Tianlan Continent was just a matter of helping out, it could still be understood.

Guiding the living beings of Tianlan Continent to the Great Thousand World was clearly not an easy task; did the other party really have such good intentions?

What's more, everyone present was a former genius and was extremely confident in their own talent.

Once limited by the heavens, they were unable to advance further; once that layer of restriction was lifted, they could break through on their own and roam the star seas, so why trust the promise of a strange powerhouse so lightly?

"I also understand everyone's concerns." Liu Qingyang had no other indication; this was also his confusion, which perhaps required further explanation from that powerhouse.

"According to what that powerhouse said, after this matter ends, he will personally communicate with the various forces of Tianlan Continent to answer questions and resolve doubts."

With the matter stated thus far, the others naturally had no objections and said no more.

However, on the whole, Xiao Han still left a good impression in the hearts of the Tianlan Hall powerhouses; at the very least, the fact that the other party could help solve Tianlan's predicament was solid.

Liu Qingyang's favor for Xiao Han in his heart even grew a step further.

After all, the other party had actually stated the significance of the Formation he deduced without any concealment, rather than being secretive or even embezzling it; this uprightness was convincing.

In the subsequent meeting, Liu Qingyang laid out his arrangements with Xiao Han.

Upon hearing that Liu Qingyang was preparing to organize the Tianlan Allied Forces to fight the Outer Realm Evil Clan to the death, even the group of Elders could not help but change their expressions.

But after thinking about it, no one refuted it; Tianlan had been silent for too long and really should wake up.

Finally, Liu Qingyang made a summary.

"Everyone, the task now is very clear: send invitations to all first-rate and above forces in Tianlan Continent to hold an alliance meeting, and the location is set at Mingwang City."

Mingwang City was a major city in the center of Tianlan Continent; nominally it belonged to the Ming God Palace, but in reality, it was a recognized neutral city where major forces dispatched powerhouses to maintain order, while 50% of the city's revenue was handed over to the first-rate force Ming God Palace as rent, with other forces dividing the rest.

The reason why Ming God Palace took the lion's share was simply because the legend of Mingwang City originated from the Ming God Palace Ancestor, Mingyu Zhanzun.

Thousands of years ago, when Tianlan suffered an invasion, the peak powerhouse of that time, Mingyu Zhanzun, held an alliance meeting with the various forces of Tianlan Continent in this city, formed an allied army, and fought the Outer Realm evil demons endlessly, eventually winning peace for Tianlan that lasted for thousands of years.

Now that Liu Qingyang has set the location for the alliance meeting at Mingwang City, the significance is self-evident.

"Tell them, those who do not attend the alliance meeting, this Hall will personally go and pay them a visit!"

For the first time in a long while, the Elders heard an undisguised murderous intent in Liu Qingyang's tone.

Thinking about it, peace on the Tianlan Continent is right before their eyes; if anyone dares to sing a different tune...

Hmm, this old man is also prepared to go and have some tea.

"Meeting adjourned!"

As Liu Qingyang's words fell, this small meeting, capable of shaking the landscape of Tianlan, came to an end.

Immediately following, squads of Tianlan elites, led by the Tianlan Elders, scattered and rushed toward the headquarters of various first-rate factions.

In just a few days, the news that Tianlan Hall was making a grand display of sending invitations to various first-rate factions for an alliance meeting in Mingwang City spread throughout the entire Tianlan Continent.
