She is Jianxiu

Chapter 1390, Section 22, North and South
However, Guo Xian misunderstood this time.

Although the Fuxing Palace does seem to favor Zhaoyan over the two great immortal sects, the Tu brothers' actions stem entirely from their impulsive and straightforward nature, and their aversion to such power struggles. According to them, most sects, large and small, are currently at the beck and call of the two great immortal sects, and even those within them often have no say. Moreover, the Fuxing Palace originates from a demonic sect; even if it distances itself from those evil cultivators, it will likely remain a source of resentment in the eyes of others.

Therefore, whether to go or not is no longer of great importance.

As for asking Zhao Chun to deliver the message, it was because Tu Yang had been defeated by her and was somewhat convinced of her superiority.

Since no one from Fuxing Hall has come, with the arrival of Zhao Chun and Yan Xiaoning, the council can be considered to have all the factions present today.

Guo Xian sat upright, and with a wave of his sleeve, the attendants on both sides understood his meaning and successively withdrew from the hall. After looking around for a moment, he spoke in a solemn tone: "I believe it is no longer necessary to explain why I have summoned you all here today. It is because that evil spirit is despicable and that strange person is treacherous. Even though we have tried our best to eliminate them, they have secretly gained power and have now become a serious threat to our hearts!"

The remaining cultivators all agreed, their brows furrowed and their expressions solemn.

Seeing this scene, Guo Xian couldn't help but secretly glance at Zhao Chun again. Unfortunately, he couldn't glean more information from her face. He wondered if her arrival would give her an opportunity to change the landscape of the Sword City. So, he suppressed his thoughts and spoke to the others, saying, "Therefore, our sect's intention is to keep these extraordinary individuals in the south, blocking their way north, so as to prevent them from going north to the Immortal Mountain, infiltrating various sects, and causing great disaster."

Upon hearing this, the cultivators from various sects nodded in agreement. Only Zhou E looked troubled and couldn't help but say, "Fellow Daoist Guo, it's not that Yunque Mountain is unwilling to shoulder this great responsibility, but the demons and monsters from beyond the realm have been repeatedly killed without being eradicated, and the strange man from the Divine Tree possesses the ability to possess bodies. In just these past few years, our sect's elders and disciples have suffered greatly. Even with the strong support of all of you fellow Daoists, it will be extremely difficult to hold on..."

With Yunque Mountain as its foundation, if any demons or supernatural beings from beyond the borders become powerful in this southern land, they will inevitably be the first to suffer. Judging from the Taiyuan Dao Sect's intentions, the eastern sea route has already been blocked by this sect. The barrier is built by an immeasurable number of sea monsters, who have sacrificed their lives one by one. With the combined strength of the Eastern Sea nations, this road has indeed been completely blocked.

Since the aliens cannot possess the demon race and the path to the East Sea is hopeless, they will eventually change direction and seek another way out. In this way, Yunque Mountain will inevitably face an even greater threat.

While the people of Taiyuan believed that as long as Zhou Shuo was still alive, Yunque Mountain could not be completely eradicated, Zhou E thought that if things continued like this, even if the upper-level cultivators of the sect could not be shaken, the lower-level disciples would be gradually devoured, resulting in a severe loss of vitality.

However, as Guo Xian said, nine of the ten righteous sects are located in the northern immortal mountains, while only Yunque Mountain is based in the south. Therefore, no matter what, preventing the aliens from going north will be more beneficial to the majority of people in this hall. Her opinion alone cannot shake Taiyuan's plan.

As expected, even though Zhou E's tone revealed some frustration and difficulty, Guo Xian remained unmoved. Looking at the others, Yue Cang and Hun De, who followed Tai Yuan's lead, naturally agreed with Guo Xian's words. No matter how difficult Yun Que Mountain's situation was, it had little to do with them. The cultivators from the Lan Chu Sect even secretly breathed a sigh of relief, fearing that if the strange man went north, their sect would be unable to withstand this calamity.

Zhou E gritted her teeth, her heart filled with coldness. She slightly turned her gaze to the head of the table. Xie Jing's expression was solemn; he rarely offered advice in the past, and this time he remained completely silent. As for Yan Xiaoning… he was a cold and unyielding person, in other words, difficult to persuade. In previous gatherings, he had only followed the sect's orders, making advance announcements to the various factions, and otherwise refusing to listen to anyone else. It was only because the practices of the two major immortal sects were often similar that, otherwise, the Sword City would have been divided into two distinct factions.

It's better to give up now than to rely on this person!
She turned her gaze and finally looked at the person sitting cross-legged beside Yan Xiaoning. She couldn't help but hold onto a sliver of hope, thinking that if Zhaoyan Sword Lord had even a hint of ambition to seize power, he wouldn't be able to let Guo Xian continue to preside over the situation in Zhongjian City. He would have to suppress the other party's momentum first before he could take advantage of the situation to rise up.

Unfortunately, after a short while, Zhao Chun remained silent, leaving Zhou E's words to fall to the ground. Guo Xian picked them up a moment later and said, "How could I not know Elder Zhou's concerns? If it weren't for your sect's encouragement and support, the strange man would have already gone north and shaken the foundation of our Taoist sect. You know that your sect has made many contributions, which is truly not easy. I have also specially requested permission from my sect to send another group of elders and disciples south. I will do my best to assist your sect and not let you be left to fend for yourself."

"Moreover, we also have fellow Daoists from various sects present. From today onwards, we will need your strong support."

After that, the Yuecang, Hunde and other factions stepped forward to respond, which made Zhou E's face flush red, and she could not say anything more.

While waiting to finalize the plan to continue blocking the northward advance of the supernatural beings, Guo Xiancai mentioned several newly emerging battlefields. These areas were either infested with demons and monsters, or had been inhabited by evil cultivators who had fled there. There were even powerful demons like the Old Snake Mother who had defected to the enemy. In short, conflicts were raging everywhere, causing panic among the people.

Then came the plea for help from Dingxian City.

Whether it was to exterminate demons and evil spirits or to eliminate wicked cultivators, as soon as Guo Xian spoke, people from the six clans of Taiyuan or various famous sects responded immediately. Even the Xuanjian Sect, which had a clear stance, did not return empty-handed this time.

Therefore, Dingxian City, which was left behind by everyone, suddenly became the target of everyone's criticism.

Xiao Pingyu bluntly stated, "These kinds of cultivators are a den of snakes and rats, constantly demanding resources from us, but always cowering in the face of trouble. What use are they if we keep them around?"

The Xiao family was powerful, and Guo Xian shook his head after hearing this, knowing that it was just an angry remark. He thought that Dingxian City was full of independent cultivators; individually, they were easily defeated, but when gathered together, they were a force not to be underestimated. Moreover, the city already had many cultivators entrenched within it, making it a crucial hub in the south. How could it be abandoned so easily?
For nearly a century, a force called the "Cult of Heaven and Man" has been submerged. It is composed entirely of human cultivators who have defected to the Heavenly Realm. They claim to be heavenly beings who have come to save the world.

Once Dingxian City falls, who knows how many Taoist cultivators will be captured!
