Chapter 81: People from the Hehuan Sect!

However, looking at the current situation, the establishment of the Heavenly Dao Alliance seems unlikely.

Because the original plot line was a loose alliance formed by the remaining neutral countries' cultivation worlds only after countries like Cheqi Kingdom, Jiang Kingdom, and Yue Country had fallen and been occupied by the Heavenly Luo Country Six Demon Sects and the Righteous Alliance of Fengdu Kingdom.

Therefore, just based on the current situation, it is almost impossible.

The various neutral parties in the Tiannan Cultivation World have always followed the principle of sweeping the snow from their own doorsteps and ignoring the frost on others' roofs.

"It is indeed possible. However, you don't need to worry about anything. This matter has little to do with you; the most important thing for you right now is cultivation, striving to..."

"Wait, you have advanced to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage?"

Before she could finish speaking, Nishang Xianzi's beautiful eyes shone with a sharp light as she sized up Yan Taibai, only then discovering that Yan Taibai was already at the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage.

"Hehe, I had a small stroke of luck and broke through."

Seeing this, Yan Taibai nodded and gave a chuckle, acknowledging it.

"It seems your talent is truly formidable; how long has it been and you have already advanced to the peak of the Foundation Establishment Mid-stage. With this cultivation speed, looking across the entire Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom, I estimate there are few who can be mentioned in the same breath as you."

"Presumably, it won't be long before you can break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage. I believe that within a hundred years, you should be able to condense a Golden Core and become a Golden Core Stage Cultivator. In time, there is also hope to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage."

"It is just a pity that the Heavenly Luo Country Six Demon Sects may invade at any time, so wanting to cultivate in peace is likely impossible. You should also break through to the Foundation Establishment Late Stage as soon as possible. Relying on Uncle-Master Qiong's 'Invisible Evasion Technique', even if you encounter a Golden Core Stage Cultivator, you will have a great chance of retreating unscathed."

Nishang Xianzi sighed lightly again, saying with quite a bit of regret.

After all, in the current situation, wanting to cultivate in peace is indeed somewhat difficult.

"No matter, it shouldn't be that fast for the Heavenly Luo Country Six Demon Sects to do so much. They are also unprepared, which is why they are making these small moves to keep us from having peace. Regarding these, we will defend where we can, and if we can't, we will ignore them. The most important thing is the defensive lines across Yue Country; they must be well-arranged. Only in this way can we resist the invasion of the Six Demon Sects to the greatest extent."

Yan Taibai said with a smile.

"By the way, Senior Sister, have the countries mentioned the matter of an alliance? After all, no single country's cultivation world can resist both the Righteous and Demonic Paths; if there were an alliance, it would certainly be possible."

Yan Taibai asked tentatively again.

After all, regarding such matters, given Nishang Xianzi's status and position, she should know at least something.

"What you said is not wrong, so the various sects have already gone to Cheqi Kingdom, Jiang Kingdom, Yuanwu Country, and Zijin Country to seek aid, attempting to form an alliance to jointly resist the Six Demon Sects. After all, we are the few countries closest to Heavenly Luo Country, especially Cheqi Kingdom and Jiang Kingdom; these two countries have been allied from the start and are the closest to Heavenly Luo Country, having already resisted for a thousand years. They do have quite a bit of experience that can be referenced."

Nishang Xianzi nodded her head slightly.

"Jiang Kingdom, Cheqi Kingdom?"

Hearing these two countries, Yan Taibai's expression changed slightly as he blurted out.

These two countries have already become sieves; it could almost be said they were taken by the Heavenly Luo Country Six Demon Sects easily and without a drop of blood shed.

The speed was so fast it was shocking, and following closely behind them were the Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom.

In the end, they only held out for a few years before, because Spirit Beast Mountain tore through the defensive line, they completely fell, forced to flee to other countries, leaving their homes behind.

"Why, is there a problem with those two countries?"

Seeing this, Nishang Xianzi frowned slightly and asked in pursuit.

"Does Senior Sister think that with the strength of those two countries, it is truly possible to resist the Heavenly Luo Country Six Demon Sects for a thousand years?"

"Even if the Heavenly Luo Country Six Demon Sects are not united, dealing with the cultivation worlds of two small countries shouldn't be a difficult task, right!"

Yan Taibai said with a solemn expression.

"Although they are only small countries, the strength of their cultivation worlds is not much worse than that of Yue Country."

Nishang Xianzi shook her head slightly and explained.

"But Heavenly Luo Country is one of the two great countries in Tiannan. Any one of the Six Demon Sects is even enough to challenge the entire Yue Kingdom Cultivation World. Moreover, within Heavenly Luo Country, there are not only the Six Demon Sects; other demonic sects are also countless. There are twenty or thirty sects with strength comparable to the Seven Sects, and the number of demonic cultivation families slightly inferior to the Seven Sects is endless. In this situation, what can Jiang Kingdom and Cheqi Kingdom use to resist the Heavenly Luo Country demonic path?"

Yan Taibai smiled bitterly.

"If you have something to say, just say it directly! There are no outsiders here."

After hearing Yan Taibai's words, Nishang Xianzi's beautiful face also became much uglier.

"This junior suspects that these two countries have long since been controlled by the Heavenly Luo Country Six Demon Sects. It's just that they probably haven't been completely controlled. After all, I believe there are still cultivation sects within the two countries that are unwilling to defect to the Heavenly Luo Country Six Demon Sects."

Yan Taibai truthfully answered with the intelligence he knew.

"What you say is indeed possible, but we have no idea to what extent the cultivation sects of the two countries have been controlled. Furthermore, if you say it like that, wouldn't it mean that among our Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom, there are also sects controlled by the Six Demon Sects?"

Nishang Xianzi said with a headache.

"It should be, and this junior feels that nine times out of ten, it is Spirit Beast Mountain."

"Spirit Beast Mountain? How do you know?"

Once these words were spoken, Nishang Xianzi's expression changed slightly, and she exclaimed.

"You must not make wild guesses, especially at a time like this."

Nishang Xianzi warned again.

"This junior understands, but I saw in an ancient book from my family that Spirit Beast Mountain came from the Yuling Sect of Heavenly Luo Country a thousand years ago, and only managed to gain a foothold in Yue Country by taking advantage of the internal chaos in the Yue Kingdom Cultivation World. As such, perhaps it was originally a force planted in Yue Country by the Yuling Sect. It was all for this moment."

Yan Taibai said again.

"Then do you know where our sect originated from?"

Hearing this, Nishang Xianzi let out a sigh of relief and asked in return.

"Ah!"

Seeing this, Yan Taibai was startled, and before he could speak, Nishang Xianzi continued.

"Our sect originated from the Hehuan Sect of Heavenly Luo Country, and the fact that Spirit Beast Mountain originated from the Yuling Sect is something all the sects know; it doesn't count as a secret. Moreover, if that were the case, wouldn't our sect be the same? So, you must not make reckless guesses, lest it affect the relations between the Seven Sects. When the time comes, it might bring about great trouble."

"Thank you, Senior Sister, this junior understands."

Hearing this, Yan Taibai smiled helplessly in his heart; good words cannot persuade a ghost destined to die. He had already risked telling her this matter.

Unfortunately, Nishang Xianzi didn't care at all. At most, he would tell Nangong Wan to let her take precautions. If that still didn't work, then he would stop caring.

He would focus on finding the Ancient Teleportation Array and the Great Teleportation Token, and as for the Seven Sects of Yue Kingdom...

No, it should be that the Six Sects of Yue Country cannot be saved, and he can only pray for his own luck.

As for the rest, he would not bother with it anymore.

"This junior takes his leave."

With matters having reached this point, Yan Taibai sighed softly in his heart, then rose to bid farewell and leave, without any lingering attachment.

Seeing this, Nishang Xianzi's willow-leaf brows furrowed; she vaguely felt that what Yan Taibai said might indeed be true.

After all, Yan Taibai's origin was the Yan Family Fortress.

After leaving Nishang Xianzi's cave dwelling, Yan Taibai returned to Nangong Wan's cave dwelling.

Yan Ruyan was still in closed-door cultivation, but Nangong Wan had come out.

"Foundation Establishment Mid-stage peak; with your talent, you will surely break through to Foundation Establishment Late Stage in a year or a year and a half. You are only in your teens, right? A Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator in their teens is rare even across the entire Tiannan Cultivation World. You will surely succeed in forming a Golden Core before the age of one hundred. You also have no small hope of condensing a Nascent Soul and advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage in the future. It is truly enviable."

In the hall of the cave dwelling, Nangong Wan smiled sweetly, her tone revealing a rare sense of envy.

"Senior Sister is joking; it is far too early to speak of condensing a Nascent Soul and advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage now. With Senior Sister's aptitude, advancing to the Nascent Soul Stage is only a matter of time."

Yan Taibai sipped his tea, shook his head, and smiled modestly.

"Do not belittle yourself; my Spirit Root aptitude is far inferior to yours. However, you must not leave the sect again in these coming years. Too many things have happened in the cultivation worlds of various countries during this period; the disciples of the medicine gardens of Huangfeng Valley, Qingxu Sect, and Tianque Castle have all perished, with not a single one spared."

"You are bound to be a person of key interest to the Heavenly Luo Kingdom Six Demon Sects; it is not necessarily safe even walking within the sect, let alone going outside."

Nangong Wan said with a grave expression, offering a warning.

"Junior Brother understands; I will absolutely not go out recently."

Yan Taibai nodded and agreed.

"You!"

Hearing this, Nangong Wan did not believe a single word, yet being helpless, she could only roll her eyes at Yan Taibai and say nothing more.

"Master will come out of closed-door cultivation in these few days. When that time comes, follow me to pay a visit; perhaps you might receive some pointers, which should be of no small benefit for your future Golden Core formation."

Nangong Wan said again.

"Senior Uncle is coming out of closed-door cultivation so soon!"

Hearing this, Yan Taibai said in surprise.

"With such a major event having occurred, how could Master still have the heart to cultivate divine abilities in seclusion? Naturally, she must come out to preside over the overall situation and stabilize morale. Furthermore, she must discuss with the Nascent Soul Stage seniors of the other sects how to deal with this matter."

"Wu Shishu will also be back soon."

Nangong Wan parted her red lips slightly and explained unhurriedly.

"Mm!"

Yan Taibai nodded with a slightly grave expression, opened his mouth, and in the end, only uttered an "Mm."

"Is there anything else you wish to say? Feel free to speak."

Seeing Yan Taibai acting this way, Nangong Wan's brows furrowed.

Seeing this, Yan Taibai then repeated what he had said to Nishang Xianzi, this time in more detail and with an appropriate reason added.

And after hearing Yan Taibai's words, Nangong Wan's brows furrowed even more severely.

"Do you know how serious the consequences would be if this matter were true?"

"Junior Brother is naturally aware, so as my words carry little weight, I can only ask Senior Sister to step forward. Regardless of anything else, at least we must make preparations early to avoid any accidents."

Yan Taibai nodded and said in a deep voice.

"Very well, I will tell Master about this matter. Do not meddle or ask too much; just act as if nothing has happened and cultivate in peace in your cave dwelling."

Nangong Wan agreed.

"Junior Brother knows the gravity of the situation; Senior Sister may rest assured."

Yan Taibai naturally would not refuse Nangong Wan's good intentions.

However, he would certainly still go out.

Now, as long as it was not a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator of the Demon Dao Six Sects or multiple Golden Core Stage cultivators, it was almost impossible for anyone to deal with him.

"Mm, as long as you know, go and keep Ruyan company!"

Seeing this, Nangong Wan did not say anything more.

"Very well, Junior Brother takes his leave." Yan Taibai rose and bowed with cupped hands.

Having said that, he left the hall and headed toward the stone room where Yan Ruyan was cultivating.

Ten days later, the Great Elder of the Yanyue Sect came out of closed-door cultivation and summoned the Golden Core Stage cultivators, managers, and other core important figures of the Yanyue Sect to the Sunset Hall.

Yan Taibai was naturally among them, and he stood behind Nangong Wan without taking a seat.

The two seats at the head on the left and right of the Great Elder of the Yanyue Sect were occupied by the two Nascent Soul cultivators of the Yanyue Sect; Yan Taibai had met Wu Shishu, but it was his first time seeing the other Nascent Soul cultivator.

This was a woman with beautiful features, currently closing her eyes and resting on a chair; her skin was snow-white and cold, and she appeared to be in her twenties, with an aura of yin coldness faintly radiating from her body.

After the Great Elder of the Yanyue Sect passed away, this woman became the Great Elder of the Yanyue Sect, and she was fond of power.

She attempted to force Nangong Wan to marry Wei Lichen, a descendant of the Great Cultivator of Nascent Soul Late Stage, Wei Wuya, of the Nine Nations Alliance.

This person's character was not very good, so Nangong Wan naturally could not agree.

Yan Taibai was also seeing this woman for the first time, but he did not look too much, so as not to be noticed.

However, the other party did not take him, a Foundation Establishment Late Stage cultivator who had come to join the excitement, seriously either.

After all, no matter how high one's Spirit Root aptitude was or how fast one's cultivation speed was, one was still just a Foundation Establishment Stage cultivator; in the eyes of a Nascent Soul cultivator, they were still ants.

They would not be taken seriously at all.

Regarding this, Yan Taibai did not care, but instead marveled at the strength of the Yanyue Sect.

Just the Golden Core Stage cultivators who had come numbered over twenty, which was equivalent to the number of Golden Core cultivators in three Huangfeng Valleys.

And this was only those who were free and in the Yanyue Sect; there were also several who were busy or in closed-door cultivation, such as Qiong Laoguai.

In other words, the Yanyue Sect had at least thirty Golden Core Stage cultivators, which also explained why there were three Nascent Soul cultivators.

With such a foundation, there was naturally no need to worry about a lack of successors.

At this moment, there was no sound at all in the entire hall.

After waiting for another half day, the great doors of the Sunset Hall slowly closed shut.

When they were completely closed, layers of five-colored rosy light shrouded the entire hall.

"You should all be clear about the matter of the Heavenly Luo Kingdom Six Demon Sects and the Righteous Alliance of Fengdu Kingdom about to invade the cultivation worlds of various countries. What are your thoughts and countermeasures? Speak up."

The Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect parted her lips slightly; her voice was not loud but clearly audible, echoing in everyone's ears for quite a while.

"Great Elder, what else can we do? Naturally, we must meet soldiers with soldiers and water with earth. Of course, we must also find ways to seek aid from the cultivation sects of many countries such as Xuanwu Country, Cheqi Kingdom, Jiang Kingdom, and Zijin Country. Only in this way can we resist the invasion of the Six Demon Sects."

"After all, once Cheqi Kingdom and Jiang Kingdom fall, the next one will be our Yue Kingdom Cultivation World."

A Golden Core Late Stage cultivator was the first to speak, unable to hold back.

"The cultivation worlds of Cheqi Kingdom and Jiang Kingdom are not much weaker than Yue Country in strength, and they have been opposing the Heavenly Luo Kingdom Demonic Path for many years. If we add the assistance of our various countries, presumably they can hold out for quite some time; there is no need to worry too much."

"No need? The strength of any single sect among the Heavenly Luo Kingdom Six Demon Sects far surpasses our sects. If they truly put their full strength into invading the two countries, how long could they hold out? We must make plans early."

Before the voice had faded, a ball of fire appeared out of thin air in front of the Great Elder of the Masked Moon Sect, and then a coquettish laugh rang out from within it.

"This humble one, Yun Cha of the Hehuan Sect, has come to visit your sect. I wonder if you have time, sister!"

Someone from the Hehuan Sect has come!
