Chapter 82 The Three Factions Meeting

Once in trouble.

Li Qingshan immediately received five or six messages from the elders serving at the headquarters.

These people are well-informed.

He had barely made a commotion when the other elders found out.

The content of the messages varied.

But the core question is: how did Jiu San suddenly transform into the Abyss Bloodline?

It's not that Jiu San is anything special.

Instead, Jiu San is Shen Linyuan's apprentice.

Since the last elders' meeting, Shen Linyuan has not made any major moves, but he has not kept his intentions hidden.

Now that Jiu San has been infected, Shen Linyuan has not shown up.

They were worried that something might have gone wrong deep within the Ether Realm.

"These old foxes are relentless when it comes to food, but when danger strikes, their sense of smell is sharper than anyone else's..."

Li Qingshan sneered.

Let's first look at Shen Linyuan's current situation.

It would be best to contact them and get them to leave the country ahead of schedule.

That way, if the sky falls, there will be tall people to hold it up.

If we can't get in touch.

Li Qingshan didn't mind sending these elders as cannon fodder to test the wizards' specific plans.

Anyway, he's unlikely to become that tall guy.

Shen Linyuan's seclusion point is located at the deepest part of the main camp.

This area contains a refining array that has been reinforced within the gate for hundreds of years. It is connected to the array in the main camp, and if attacked, it will shake the entire camp within the gate.

It's probably the safest place.

Ordinary disciples only spend their contribution points to come here when they break through a cultivation level.

The elder is feeling more comfortable.

If they have a need, they can come here for a retreat free of charge.

"Suppress the spirit!"

After Li Qingshan arrived here, he immediately summoned Zhenling.

moment.

A serpentine phantom appeared before him: "Elder Li, are you going into seclusion?"

Li Qingshan shook his head: "I came to find my master, Shen Linyuan. I encountered an emergency, and my message couldn't reach here, so I had to come here to look for him."

Upon hearing this, the serpentine spirit shook its head: "Elder Shen is not in seclusion here!"

"Not here?"

Li Qingshan frowned.

Before Master went into seclusion, he clearly sent a message saying that he was right here.

He soared into the air, activated his Dimensional Eye, and scanned the mountains below.

From the perspective of Dimensional Eyes.

The area below was shrouded in layers of arrays, yet no trace of the shadow dimension could be seen.

"Before coming here, I asked Jiu San. Either Zhen Ling lied, or Master is just being cautious and no one has revealed the real location of the seclusion..."

With that thought, Li Qingshan transformed into a beam of azure light and fled towards the highest peak in the distance.

It's good to be cautious.

But given the current situation, and the fact that he can't be contacted, if a crisis breaks out prematurely, then it's no wonder that his apprentice ran away first.

Shen Linyuan is not here.

Li Qingshan inexplicably became the tallest person in the sect.

He doesn't like selfless dedication.

Reaching the highest peak.

Li Qingshan passed through a thick energy shield and arrived in front of a compass that was half the height of a person. He took out his elder jade pendant and pressed it onto the compass.

The range of communication via message tokens is still relatively limited.

More situations.

Long-distance communication within the gate is all done between arrays.

Telegrams were also available.

However, it requires notification at each level, which takes a lot of time.

What if we really encounter an emergency?

The elders can then come here, activate the compass, send out a forced message, and summon the other elders to return as quickly as possible.

Every elder has the right to do so.

However, this method of communication consumes a lot of magic stones each time, so under normal circumstances, no elder would act recklessly.

Even when Shen Linyuan convened the elders' meeting last time, it took him three days to notify each elder individually, unlike what Li Qingshan is doing now.

Li Qingshan was also at a loss.

He didn't have the intelligence-gathering methods of his master and Jiu San.

Those elders are all out there; who knows if they've gone off to enjoy themselves or are diligently guarding their respective posts?

Anyway, it's using the sect's resources.

Li Qingshan only pursues efficiency.

With the Elder Jade Token and Soul Fluctuation Certification completed.

The illusory figure that had previously been suppressing spirits reappeared: "Elder Li, this is an emergency message costing 18,000 magic stones. Activate it?"

Li Qingshan nodded: "Send a message for me, saying that those barbarian shamans are hiding a great secret, Elder Shen Linyuan has important matters to attend to and cannot leave, and now the sect is in imminent danger, requiring them to return to the sect immediately to convene a three-faction meeting to discuss countermeasures!"

The serpentine spirit nodded and disappeared again.

next moment.

Beams of light, visible to the naked eye, shot out in all directions.

Each beam of light flew in the direction of the elders in the Bitter Realm.

As long as the elders don't deliberately use methods to seal their elder jade pendants, even if the pendants are hidden in spatial rings, they will still forcibly receive the messages sent by Li Qingshan.

The message has been sent.

Li Qingshan took out his large spear, channeled his true energy into it, and slowly nurtured it using the essence of martial arts.

He had a premonition.

Bloodshed is about to begin again.

This trip is to explore the depths of the Etheric Realm.

Cooperation among the three factions is definitely necessary.

The three major sects were neighbors in Guixu, and when they arrived in the Bitter Realm, they were also living in a small world.

Resources.

If you get more, I'll get less.

Not to mention that the three factions have very different styles of doing things.

Iron Leg Gate is all about profit.

The Lingxu Sword Sect is arrogant.

The Blood Fiend Sect is ruthless and vicious.

Although the three factions are scattered in three different directions and cooperate to gradually devour the resources of this small world, they often clash with each other and even kill one another.

Now the three factions no longer have their respective leaders to suppress them.

A group of elders, like a small mountain, gathered together to discuss venturing into the depths of the Ether Realm, risking their lives to gather intelligence.

It's definitely not going to work out without a fight.

One day later.

One by one, figures gathered once again at the snow mountain base camp.

I wonder if it's some kind of tacit understanding.

Even the elders who were originally stationed at the main camp only came to the meeting place after the other elders returned.

Li Qingshan stood in the center.

Wait a moment.

Apart from Shen Linyuan, Jiu San, and the three elders stationed at Guixu, everyone else was present.

Li Qingshan said directly: "A few days ago, my senior brother Jiu San went to the depths of the Ether Domain to investigate the situation as usual. He found that the barbarian shamans were sacrificing their own kind on a large scale and deliberately polluting the environment deep in the Ether Domain."

As you all know, the territory and population deep within the Etheric Domain are the foundation of those barbarian sorcerers.

Now that they are destroying their own foundation, their ambitions must be quite significant.

My master is currently preoccupied with important matters and cannot intervene to resolve this issue. You elders are all senior figures, experienced and knowledgeable; perhaps we could discuss what those barbarian shamans intend to do.

He had already realized that his master hadn't shown up, and with Jiu San's accident, these elders, oblivious to their own mortality, had conspired together to cause trouble.

Therefore, these words were deliberately spoken in a way that revealed a clue.

It's just a matter of which idiot will walk right in.

In other words, Shen Linyuan was too rigid in his approach to things.

If it were him, he would have purged a group of old fogies at the last elders' meeting, and then used the remaining benefits to support a group of promising senior disciples.

He is not Shen Linyuan.

We won't show any mercy for the sake of the so-called big picture!

He said those words.

The scene fell into a deathly silence.

The elders looked at each other, then at Xue, and no one paid any attention to Li Qingshan.

Li Qingshan remained calm and stood there without any hurry.

He didn't react.

The middle-aged elder who had sold him the spear and looked like an old farmer chuckled and said, "Elder Li, is there something you forgot to tell me?"

Li Qingshan looked at him: "Elder Wang, what do you mean by that?"

Another elder chimed in, his attitude still somewhat polite: "Elder Li, I heard that your senior brother Jiu San was directly corrupted by the Abyss's methods and has now been thrown into the Demon Suppression Tower for suppression. It's not appropriate not to mention such a dangerous situation."

Before Li Qingshan could speak...

Another female elder smiled and said, "I heard that some martial artists born in the Bitter Realm of the three major sects have defected one by one. Now that this situation has occurred again, those barbarians probably have big ambitions. Elder Li, this kind of thing definitely requires the three major sects to step in together. If Elder Shen doesn't take the lead, our Iron Leg Sect is afraid we will suffer a great loss."

"Absolutely, absolutely."

"Elder Xi is right. Elder Li, why don't you contact Elder Shen again and see what his attitude is? That way we'll have a better understanding of the situation."

"Yes, even if Elder Shen doesn't show up, Elder Li, as Elder Shen's disciple and a prodigy of the sect, we still have the respect for you."

Seeing these elders, they all spoke up, playing both the good cop and the bad cop, wanting to know about Shen Linyuan's situation or to have him take the lead.

Li Qingshan understood.

This group of people has been living in comfort for too long. Now that there is no sect leader above them and no Shen Linyuan in the middle to keep them in check, only a junior like him is stepping forward. As a result, even though these elders know that this matter concerns everyone, they are still unwilling to take the lead and only want to cheer and shout.

Are they stupid?

They're not stupid, they're just too smart.

Even when facing death, they're still playing tricks, forgetting how they fought their way out of their weakness in their childhood.

Li Qingshan was too lazy to waste words with them.

He snorted twice: "It seems you already knew about my master's seclusion."

Alright, then I won't hide it from you all. My master has already entered the Spirit Transformation Realm and is currently consolidating his cultivation.

The depths of the Ether Realm are indeed dangerous now.

My senior brother possesses a Daoist body and minor supernatural powers, making him highly capable of protecting himself. Yet, his body was still silently corrupted, and he suffered a great loss.

Our branch has now paid the price.

I will not participate in what happens next.

I have summoned you here only because without the sect leader's order, we need most of the elders to be together to connect the communication arrays of the other two factions and hold a three-faction meeting.

The point has been made perfectly clear.

It’s up to you.

At worst, this little world will be destroyed, and I'll go with my master to another sect.

As for you, ha.

After saying that, Li Qingshan turned and left without any hesitation.

Seeing this, all the elders were dumbfounded.

They had already exchanged intelligence and information with each other, and were certain that Shen Linyuan would not be able to come out in a short time. That's why they thought of taking advantage of Li Qingshan's youth and arrogance to provoke him, and then praising him so that he would step forward and send people to explore the depths of the Ether Domain together with the other two factions.

It might not work, but it's worth a try.

If that doesn't work, there are other ways to deal with it first.

The other party simply didn't respond.

This is awkward.

"Elder Li, don't worry. I have a way to rebuild your senior brother's bloodline and restore his consciousness. However, it will replace his acquired Dao body. Why don't we save your senior brother first, and then discuss what to do next after he regains consciousness?"

The female elder from before blocked Li Qingshan's way.

Upon hearing this, Li Qingshan shook his head: "No need. It's true that Jiu San is my senior brother, but when it comes to things like bloodline conversion and body replacement, I can't make decisions for my senior brother. Let's wait until my master comes out of seclusion before discussing this. I won't get involved."

Regardless of whether what the other party is saying is true or false.

It was impossible for him to intervene in the other party's cause and effect while Jiu San was unconscious.

The female elder wanted to say something more, but seeing Li Qingshan's eyes turn cold, and remembering the information she had received earlier, she was so frightened that she quickly stepped aside and dared not say anything more.

Not only her, but the other elders who had spoken earlier also fell silent.

Seeing this, Li Qingshan was amused.

He opened his palm and took out a large spear: "I was just wondering why you all, who are clearly well-informed and know that I, Li Qingshan, have comprehended the essence of martial arts, still dare to play the good cop/bad cop in front of me. So you deliberately tested me, thinking that I am young and wanted to see if you could provoke me into taking the lead without provoking me."

They saw him take out a weapon.

The elders scattered in fear.

Li Qingshan didn't make a move, but instead pointed to the seven elders who had spoken earlier: "You like testing us, huh? Fine, after the three-faction meeting, you few are to be among the first batch of elders to explore the depths of the Ether Domain. If you don't go, I'll kill you right now!"

The person who had just spoken was dumbfounded.

Li Qingshan grew too fast, and after entering the sect, he didn't have much experience. The only person who knew him well, Xu Caiwei, ran away to become a succubus.

The elders' only impression of him was that he was incredibly talented and flamboyant.

That's why.

They then thought of using words to put a prodigy like Li Qingshan at the forefront.

I never expected the other party to be so much more ruthless than Shen Linyuan.

His first thought was to send the elders to be cannon fodder.

this...

If I had known, I would have kept a low profile.

error.

The seven elders who were pointed out looked gloomy and resentful.

Seeing the elders' embarrassing state, Li Qingshan shook his head: "Those who have objections, step forward."

Nobody wants to be the first to stick their neck out.

This includes the seven elders who were specifically mentioned.

They dared to jump only because Shen Linyuan's methods were gentle.

Now that Li Qingshan has this attitude of killing anyone who dares to talk back, no one dares to utter a word.

"Alright, since no one has any objections, let's contact the other two factions, arrange a time, and head together to the depths of the Ether Domain to investigate the situation. We also need to tighten our grip on resources across the board and prepare for an evacuation!"

Li Qingshan waved his hand.

Upon seeing this.

Apart from those seven unlucky guys, everyone else flew towards the highest peak.
