Chapter 181 - 181 The Turmoil In Changping

181 The Turmoil In Changping

After the people of the Tai Qing Sect left, Ye Xuan went to the crystal coffin more and more frequently, but sometimes he would bump into other people, so it was not convenient to take out the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram.

He only dared to take it out when there was no one around. He also released the Penglai Immortal Beasts to scout the surroundings for him in case someone suddenly came close.

Although these people were very respectful to Ye Xuan, he didn’t dare to take the risk. It was the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram after all, and there was the secret behind the crystal coffin as well. Who wouldn’t be tempted?

A few Penglai Immortal Beasts were also curiously sizing up the crystal coffin. They circled around it, but they couldn’t get close.

“Have you guys seen this material before?”

The Penglai Immortal Beasts had existed for thousands of years, so they might have seen them before. However, to Ye Xuan’s disappointment, they also shook their heads.

“This material is very magical. Even the island doesn’t have it, we also haven’t seen it before.”

However, the oldest Penglai Immortal Beast squinted his eyes as if he had thought of something. He said, “I once read a book on the island. This is kind of like the extraterrestrial object described in the book.”

Ye Xuan frowned slightly, “An extraterrestrial object?”

Thinking of the crystal coffin and the meteorite falling together, he quickly asked, “Are there any more detailed records in the book?”

The oldest Penglai Immortal Beast shook his head and replied, “That’s just a random record. It’s mostly about random things, so I didn’t read it carefully.”

Just as Ye Xuan was about to ask more questions, he saw the Penglai Immortal Beasts flying over from not far away. This meant that there were outsiders here. All the Immortal Beasts entered the spiritual beast space.

“Elder Ye, so you’re here.”

Ye Xuan nodded and asked, “What’s up?”

“Elder Mo would like to see you.”

Previously, all the major sects in Jingdu had extended an olive branch to Ye Xuan and offered good conditions. As long as Ye Xuan was willing to join a sect, even the entire Tai Qing Sect could be incorporated.

However, they were all rejected by Ye Xuan. After all, he had too many secrets. If he joined these big sects, he would attract attention instead. In the Tai Qing Sect, there would not be too many restrictions.

In the end, he chose to stay with the Sword Sect temporarily. After all, Mo Jianming was in charge here, and the two of them had known each other for a long time. Mo Jianming not only knew that he had the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram, but he had also helped Ye Xuan many times. It could be seen that Mo Jianming had a good character and would make a good friend.

When Mo Jianming returned to the Sword Sect, he realized it wasn’t just him. The people from the Yaochi Holy Land, the Heaven Sect, and the Dao Seeking Sect were all here.

It was rare for the Seven Great Sects to gather together, with the exception of the Misty Illusory Manor.

Because of the secret realm incident last time, everyone had joined forces to attack, so there was a lot less hostility for a while. However, it was only temporary, and no one knew how long this harmony would last.

“Why have you gathered us here?”

Mo Jianming was also the initiator of this operation, so he didn’t keep them in suspense. He said, “I received news that something has happened in Changping.”

Everyone’s expression changed slightly. Someone asked, “What happened over there?”

Looking at the others’ expressions, Ye Xuan was a little confused. Shen Changling explained in a low voice as if he had seen through Ye Xuan’s puzzlement.

“Changping is very far from Jingdu, but there are large amounts of spirit stone mines nearby. All the major sects have disciples stationed there, so it can be said that most of the spirit stones are mined from there.”

“Furthermore, because of the special geography there, the spiritual energy is rich, so it’s very suitable for the growth of medicine.”

Hearing this, Ye Xuan finally understood why they had such expressions. Whether it was spirit stones or medicine, they were all extremely precious resources and were related to the sects’ interests.

The people of the Dao Seeking Sect couldn’t help but say, “Even if something happened in Changping, it shouldn’t be so serious. Why did you ask all of us to come? And why didn’t we receive any news from there?”

“This was what I wanted to talk about. The demonic beasts have attacked in large numbers. The people we sent to defend Changping have suffered countless casualties. if it wasn’t for the Sword Sect’s unique methods, this news wouldn’t have been able to reach us.”

Mo Jianming said heavily, “If the demonic beasts really attack the city, I’m afraid that the spirit stone resources and medicine will be destroyed, and it will cause countless casualties.”

Although Changping was far away, because of these resources, many people settled there, and the population base was relatively large.

Seeing Mo Jianming’s expression, everyone fell silent. They didn’t doubt the truth of his words. After all, he didn’t need to lie and could even completely cover up the news.

“Then what do you want to do?”

“I think that all the sects should send their disciples to go together so that they can look out for each other. After all, it’s not easy for our sect to solve the problem in Changping alone.”

There were several famous demonic beasts’ forests near Changping. Usually, there would also be incidents of demonic beasts attacking people, but it was not as serious as it was now. Thus, Mo Jianming did not dare to let his guard down, and instead gathered everyone.

It wasn’t that no one had thought of exterminating these demonic beasts to avoid future trouble.

However, the demonic beasts’ forest was too big, and it was not something they could solve at all. It would also cost a lot of manpower and resources, so it was not worth it. Therefore, everyone gave up.

The others looked at each other. Someone said, “Then we will do as Elder Mo had said. All the sects will send their disciples to help Changping.”

Everyone quickly agreed that each sect would send some people. Ye Xuan didn’t want to go. After all, the secret of the crystal coffin had not been solved yet.

After everyone had left, he was about to tell Mo Jianming his plan, but he didn’t expect Mo Jianming to speak first.

“I heard that someone saw traces of your sect leader in Changping.”

This was also the reason why Mo Jianming had called Ye Xuan over.

How could Han Yue be in Changping?

The distance from here to Changping was far, and a person could not simply rush over there in such a short time.
