Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

Although the Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable did not explicitly state it, all the immortals present knew what the solution he was referring to was.

If they want to survive, their only way out is to leave the Southern Region. However, they certainly cannot leave the Southern Region on their own. They will probably be attacked by the Blood Ancestor's blood hand before they even get close to the Boundary Sea.

If they want to leave the Southern Region, they must find a powerful backer, either the Immortal Emperor Xiyue of the Eastern Region or the Hidden Moon Cult Leader of the Wildlands.

However, it was difficult for them to find the Immortal Emperor Xiyue. Although the Immortal Emperor Xiyue seemed to have joined forces with the Wilderness, at most she only sent people to guard the Sunset Mountains and did not directly order her Immortal Venerables to attack the Southern Region.

Clearly, Immortal Emperor Xiyue did not want to get involved in this mess.

Then they have no choice but to seek refuge in the Wildlands and let the Hidden Moon Cult Leader take action.

However, the biggest concern for everyone now is that the Hidden Moon Cult Leader is not a true Immortal Emperor, and the divine corpse he controls may not actually possess the same strength as an Immortal Emperor.

We mustn't let them join the barbarians only to be suppressed by the Blood Ancestor with lightning the next moment; that would be a huge loss.

But they don't seem to have any other good options right now.

In any case, if they continue fighting, they will only face certain death. Blood Ancestor is clearly using these righteous immortals as nourishment for evil immortals.

Surrender offers a glimmer of hope.

After the Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable finished speaking, another Immortal Venerable said, "Alas, taking that path isn't easy. There are gods watching from above!"

Upon hearing the words of this immortal venerable, the immortal venerables present once again fell into a long silence.

Everyone knows that seeking refuge in the Wildlands might be their only chance of survival, but to do so, they must first be able to reach the Wildlands. Their every move is likely under the Blood Ancestor's divine perception. They would probably be dealt with by the Blood Ancestor before they even entered the Wildlands, or even before they entered the Southern Region controlled by the Wildlands, let alone seek refuge in the Wildlands.

Just then, a celestial being dressed in white immortal robes, with jet-black hair, and looking like a middle-aged man, spoke up from inside the cave: "Actually, it's not entirely without a solution."

Upon hearing this, everyone was stunned for a moment, and all eyes turned to the speaker.

The speaker was the Brocade Immortal Venerable. The Brocade Sect was not very famous in the Southern Region. The entire Brocade Sect only had one Immortal Venerable, the Brocade Immortal Venerable, and could only be considered a mid-level immortal sect.

Everyone looked at him with suspicion, wondering what he could possibly do.

Jinxiu Immortal Venerable was weak, the weakest among all the immortal venerables present. Even though Zifeng Immortal Venerable's strength was reduced to less than one-tenth, he was still stronger than Jinxiu Immortal Venerable.

Seeing that people didn't seem to believe her, the Magnificent Immortal coughed and said, "I wonder if any of you are aware of the disappearance of the Heavenly Splendor Palace?"

Hearing this, everyone was puzzled as to why the Magnificent Immortal Venerable was bringing this up, and why she suddenly mentioned the Heavenly Flower Palace again.

But at that moment, Immortal Venerable Zifeng was the first to react, immediately asking, "Do you know how the Tianhua Palace disappeared?"

The Magnificent Immortal said, "The Heavenly Splendor Palace did not disappear; it was directly teleported to the Eastern Region."

Upon hearing this, the immortals in the cave fell silent once again.

Were we teleported directly to the Eastern Region?

How did you do that?

If they could also teleport away directly, wouldn't they be able to avoid both relying on the Wildlands and worrying about being purged by the Blood Ancestor?

The problem is that they don't know how to teleport across realms.

Seeing the excited looks on the faces of the immortals present, the Brocade Immortal Venerable knew they were all tempted, so she continued, "I know a way to survive: a decisive battle against the barbarians!"

The faces of all the immortals darkened instantly. They had been looking forward to it for so long, only to find that the beautiful immortal had only mentioned some utter nonsense.

Fight to the death against the barbarians?

If they could have defeated the barbarians, they wouldn't be in their current predicament.

Ignoring the reactions of the crowd, the Magnificent Immortal continued, "It all depends on whether you are willing to believe me."

"This is the only way. We must show the Blood Ancestor our determination to serve the Blood Eagle Palace. Only then will the Blood Ancestor be willing to take action personally."

Upon hearing these words, the faces of the immortals revealed a hint of anger. What kind of nonsense was this? This dog, the Brocade Immortal Venerable, was actually thinking of waiting for the Blood Ancestor to make a move. How could the Blood Ancestor possibly make a move?

If he wanted to make a move, he would have done so long ago. He wouldn't have waited until now. All the forces in the Southern Region had already been sold out by the Blood Ancestor. They were all just nourishment for the Blood Ancestor's cultivation.

Just as Jinxiu Immortal Venerable was about to say something, Zifeng Immortal Venerable suddenly spoke up: "I think what Jinxiu Immortal Venerable said makes sense. Blood Ancestor is definitely testing us. Only when we pass the test will he take action personally."

"After all, when we were dealing with the Tianhua Palace, we remained inactive, which eventually led to the Tianhua Palace fleeing to the Southern Region. This must have displeased the Blood Ancestor, so he wanted to use this opportunity to teach us a lesson."

Seeing that even the Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable said this, the other immortals were momentarily stunned. The Purple Phoenix Immortal Sect had been destroyed, yet the Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable was still speaking up for the Blood Ancestor.

Is this for real?

Logically speaking, the Purple Phoenix Immortal Venerable should be the one who hates the Blood Ancestor the most among this group. Now, the Purple Phoenix Immortal Sect doesn't have many people left. If the fighting continues, the only remaining spark of the Purple Phoenix Immortal Sect will probably be extinguished.

Just then, another Immortal Venerable reacted, saying with sudden realization, "So that's how it is! I think Immortal Venerable Jinxiu and Immortal Venerable Zifeng are right. We didn't show Blood Ancestor our sincerity, so naturally he's unwilling to take action. After I return, I will gather everyone in the Immortal Sect for a decisive battle against the Barbarians!"

When the third Immortal Venerable stood up to speak for the Blood Ancestor, even the most foolish Immortal Venerables present realized what was going on. They had gathered together today to discuss a way out, not to discuss how to die.

When the Immortal Venerable Jinxiu mentioned the Tianhua Palace, he was reminding them that he knew how to teleport away from the Southern Region.

However, their every move was under the Blood Ancestor's divine sense, so any slightly unusual action would arouse the Blood Ancestor's suspicion, and then they would be unable to teleport out of the Southern Region.

However, if they raise the slogan of fighting the barbarians to the death, they will mobilize all the immortal sects present. Once they gather together, they can be teleported away from the Southern Region.

At this moment, Immortal Venerable Purple Phoenix looked at Immortal Venerable Brocade and asked, "Immortal Venerable Brocade, are you sure the Blood Ancestor will really make a move?"

The Magnificent Immortal said confidently, "Of course. As long as you can show the Blood Ancestor your loyalty, the Blood Ancestor will definitely take action."

"As long as the Blood Ancestor takes action, the war in the Southern Region will be none of our business."

A Celestial Venerable stepped forward and said, "Very well, I will return immediately to gather all the disciples of the Celestial Sect. Two years from now, we will fight a decisive battle against the Barbarian Wilderness!"

The immortals within the cave responded enthusiastically, and then returned to their respective immortal sects to gather all their disciples and elders. (End of Chapter)
