Chapter 362: Saint Martial Profound Sect Crisis

Inside the cave abode.

Lu Li slowly stood up.

That message spirit light just now was Yuan Cheng's summons.

As an elder of the Saint Martial Profound Sect, facing the summons of the Sect Master, it is not good to be negligent and must go over. It's just that I don't know what happened to make this master of a sect so anxious.

Taking a step,

Lu Li left the cave abode.

Outside the peaks.

There are countless halls connected together.

Before the core deliberation hall, Lu Li appeared.

The deliberation hall gate was open.

After sensing Lu Li's arrival, an aged voice came from inside.

"Elder Lu, come in."

Lu Li entered slowly.

Inside the hall.

Yuan Cheng, Li Shenxian, and many elders had already arrived.

"Elder Lu, you finally came." Yuan Cheng looked over, revealing a hint of a kind smile on his face.

"Is there any major event?"

Lu Li asked.

If there were no major events, these people wouldn't gather together.

"Elder Lu, you have been in seclusion, so you might not know. Not long ago, fierce beasts sneaked into the Supreme Saint Star, shaking the entire Saint Star Court." Beside him, Li Shenxian revealed a hint of solemnity.

"Fierce beasts sneaked into the Supreme Saint Star?"

Lu Li's face changed slightly.

Long before following Li Shenxian to the Saint Martial Profound Sect.

He had already inquired about a lot of news.

With the full outbreak of the fierce beast war, the Saint Star Court gathered all martial dao people in the nine realms of the Saint Star within the Di San Jie of the Saint Star. With the power gathered, the Saint Star Court has been fighting with all its might.

At this moment, the fierce beast army should not have broken through the dozens of key space channels in the Di San Jie of the Saint Star.

And even if they broke through!

With the power gathered by the Saint Star Court, the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Nest will only fall into a boundless starry sky war!

Wanting to destroy the Saint Star Court!

It is fundamentally impossible in a short time!

This war!

Is destined to take a long time to end!

And this Supreme Saint Star should still have a period of peace.

If the fierce beast army doesn't use the cross-realm teleportation array, it fundamentally can't reach here in a short time, not to mention that the aura of fierce beasts and humans is completely different and fundamentally cannot be hidden.

How can they sneak in across realms?

"Elder Lu, you are unaware..."

Following Li Shenxian's explanation, Lu Li quickly understood everything.

It turned out that within this Shenchuan Star River, Fierce Beasts were far more bizarre and profound than those on Lan Xing. The various races possessed all sorts of miraculous supernatural techniques, and the one that had infiltrated this Zhisheng Xing was a miraculous Fierce Beast called the Pifu Lingyi.

This beast was adept at concealing its aura and possessed the ability to shapeshift!

It could infiltrate the Human Race without a sound!

For thousands of years!

Zhisheng Xing had suffered deeply from them!

This time, the disturbance was likewise caused by these Pifu Lingyi.

As early as the beginning of the great war, they had taken advantage of the Shengxing Court's lack of preparation to infiltrate this place, and through careful arrangement, they had even infiltrated the key nodes guarded by those entering this Zhisheng Xing.

There was also a boundless starry sky between Zhisheng Xing and the Second Realm of the Shengxing.

Those that had been discovered!

There were only thirteen starry sky coordinates that could enter Zhisheng Xing!

These thirteen key nodes concerned the survival of Zhisheng Xing and were guarded by experts personally arranged by Beiyu Xianzun; the entire Shengxing Court dared not show any negligence.

Yet, who would have thought that the Pifu Lingyi, relying on their shapeshifting ability!

Had actually infiltrated one of them in advance.

If not for the vigilance of the guards who discovered it in time, once the Ten Thousand Beast Divine Nest attacked, they could have broken through that key node instantly from within and without, thereby invading Zhisheng Xing.

Precisely because of this!

This matter shook the entire Zhisheng Xing!

It demanded that the Saint Martial Profound Sect conduct a full investigation to find the location of the infiltrated Pifu Lingyi.

"This matter concerns the Saint Martial Profound Sect?"

Lu Li could not help but frown.

This matter should have been decided collectively by the high-level officials of the Shengxing Court, and then the Shengxing Court should have sent people to investigate; why was it specifically directed that the Shengwu Profound Sect go?

"Speaking of which, this also relates to my master, the Shengwu Dadi."

Not far away.

Yuan Cheng gave a bitter smile.

"For thousands of years, the Pifu Lingyi have always existed. After the Shengxing Court suffered several major losses, about a thousand years ago, the Shengwu Dadi, at the invitation of Beiyu Xianzun, spent nearly a hundred years refining a profound weapon."

"This profound weapon is called the Profound Treasure of Sword Spirits; it can illuminate all things, distinguish truth from falsehood, and see through all illusory changes."

Speaking to this point.

He could not help but glance at Lu Li.

Seeing that Lu Li had no reaction, he continued: "This profound weapon was specifically refined against the Pifu Lingyi. Only the origin of the Shengwu Dadi's lineage can activate it. Now that the Dadi has disappeared, only Li Shenxian and I can activate it."

"In other words, the Shengxing Court wants to use the power of the Profound Treasure of Sword Spirits to investigate the Skin-Covering Spirit Demons?"

Lu Li's gaze was calm.

As for the functions of the Profound Treasure of Sword Spirits!

He did not need to worry at all!

At this moment, he had changed his appearance and bone structure, which was fundamentally different from the false path of transformation. Not to mention that the Profound Treasure of Sword Spirits might not be able to see through it, even if it could, he could still retreat calmly.

Being strong oneself!

That is the source of one's confidence!

"Yes, and the Shengxing Court specifically named me to go." Yuan Cheng's gaze was heavy.

"Named the Sect Master to go, could it be..."

Lu Li's expression tightened slightly.

Although only Yuan Cheng and Li Shenxian could activate the Profound Treasure of Sword Spirits, Yuan Cheng, as a sect master, could not simply leave. The Shengxing Court naming him to go was clearly harboring ulterior motives.

It could not be helped!

It was likely that certain forces were secretly planning!

To transfer Yuan Cheng away from the Shengwu Profound Sect and start taking action.

"Yes, this is also my worry, which is why I gathered you all here to discuss it." Yuan Cheng said softly.

Lu Li looked around.

He made some unexpected discoveries.

Originally, he thought this was an ordinary discussion, but he did not expect it to be a major event involving the survival of the sect. For such a discussion, Yuan Cheng would certainly only dare to let the trusted core members remain.

And the fact that less than thirty of the nearly fifty elders of the Shengwu Profound Sect had come was proof of this.

It just made him feel a bit strange.

He had only joined the Shengwu Profound Sect for less than a month; how did he gain Yuan Cheng's trust?

Just as Lu Li was pondering, the other elders also began to discuss.

"Sect Master, these are troubled times; you must personally sit in the sect, otherwise, who knows what chaos might occur."

"Yes, the major forces have ulterior motives; we must be on guard."

"Why not just flatly refuse? In any case, the Shengxing Court's orders have been refused by major forces before."

Listening to everyone's discussion.

Yuan Cheng just smiled bitterly and shook his head.

Refusing a Shengxing Court order!

That requires being a top-tier force possessing an Emperor Realm expert!

The Shengwu Profound Sect of the past might have been able to!

But today is different from the past; it is impossible for the current Shengwu Profound Sect.

Moreover, this matter concerns the safety of the entire Zhisheng Xing. Even if he does not go, Li Shenxian must go. According to the news from the Shengxing Court, if Li Shenxian really goes, once he encounters the Great Saint Realm Pifu Lingyi, he will likely have no chance of survival.

"Elders, no need to say more. I invited everyone here to discuss this not to talk about how to refuse, but to discuss how to go."
