Nonsense! Master is not my wife.

Over the years, his presence has been indispensable in the Thirteen Hidden Clans' actions against Xuelingxu. Once Ao Qingyue arrives in person, he will definitely be involved.

do not care!

After this Northern Territory meeting is over, I will flee to the depths of the Star-Moon Sea and find a deserted island to hide for ten or eight years!

Yin Jiuxuan nodded secretly and made the decision.

Just when they were worried and had their own agenda, Cang Rumo had already finished talking about the approximate distribution of the demon armies in various parts of the Northern Territory, and turned to talk about the current situation of the major sects and dynasties:

"Now the demon army is divided into many groups. While they are attacking separately, they also take care of each other. They are extremely difficult to deal with..."

"For example, Jixiang Sect has been attacked by several demon armies in the past few years. It is not easy for them to survive until today."

Cang Rumo raised his head and looked in one direction, where sat the Jixiang Sect monks who came to attend the Northern Region Conference.

A few days ago, the supreme elder of Jixiang Sect, the Tenth Realm cultivator Liao Gong, was seriously injured in a battle with a demon general and is now recuperating in Jixiang Sect.

The leader of Jixiang Sect, Liao Xinyi, still needs to stay in the sect to take charge of the overall situation, so the one who came this time is the deputy leader Gu Shengxin, a middle-aged cultivator with a calm demeanor.

Cang Rumo soon saw Gu Shengxin, nodded slightly at him, and then continued: "For example, the Three Kings Alliance in the west is also the place where the demon army focuses on attacking..."

The Three Kings Alliance refers to an alliance formed by the Bailun, Ziye and Lanfan dynasties. The "War Realm", a heavenly secret realm famous in the Northern Territory, is located in the Three Kings City, the border between the three dynasties.

As the most powerful united force besides Tongbei Sect and Daomeng in the western part of the Northern Territory, the Three Kings Alliance naturally became a thorn in their eyes and a thorn in their flesh after the demon army occupied Yongsheng Mountain and drove away Tongbei Sect.

Although the Three Kings Alliance was powerful more than 20 years ago, it only had a few ninth-level cultivators. They had no power to resist the vast army of demons and should have ended up with the city destroyed and people killed.

It wasn't until a legendary powerful man appeared out of nowhere that the army of demons was repelled.

It was also because of this battle that the Northern Territory's cultivator community once again remembered the deeds of this legendary great man.

The Hundred-generation Empress, a peerless strongman from the Northern Territory thousands of years ago, once led the Bailun Dynasty to its peak. She cultivated the law of time to an extremely high level and was able to cross the long river of time to see the future. It is said that she had already ascended to the upper realm, but no one knows why she has stayed there until now.

This legendary figure seemed to have anticipated this situation and had set up a unique formation in the Bailun Dynasty in advance to fight against the demons.

And the Hundred Ages Empress also came to this Northern Territory meeting.

In the center of the seats for the monks of the Three Kings Alliance sat a hunchbacked old man who was so old that he could hardly open his eyes.

Cang Rumo looked at the hunchbacked old man with respect in his eyes. Even though he had practiced Taoism for hundreds of years and was the leader of the Cang Lei Holy Sect, he was still just a junior in front of this Hundred-Year Empress.

After paying respects to the Hundred Ages Empress, Cang Rumo spoke of other forces, all of which were sects and dynasties that were now suffering from the invasion of demons. The intelligence network of the Cang Lei Holy Sect was extremely developed, so everything Cang Rumo said was almost exactly the same as what happened in reality.

After he finished speaking, Cang Rumo finally got to the point: "The Northern Territory is vast, and the teleportation platform has been destroyed. It is more difficult than before to provide effective support. It is impossible to do so with just spirit ships and spirit boats."

"Only if we rebuild the teleportation array and shorten the support time as much as possible can we be qualified to fight against the demons."

Many monks nodded repeatedly after hearing this.

Over the years, the demons have not only attacked human forces, but have also set up many teleportation arrays along the way, which has greatly enhanced the mobility of the demon army.

Seeing that everyone looked thoughtful, Cang Rumo kept saying, "Building a teleportation array requires a lot of manpower and resources. It is impossible for a single sect to do it. Many Taoist friends present have participated in the construction of the super teleportation system initiated by the Taoist Alliance a hundred years ago. I believe they have some understanding of this."

The super transmission system was jointly funded by the Five Domains Taoist Alliance and established in major cities above the prefecture level in the five domains. It covers the vast five domains!

Almost all the major sects and dynasties in the Northern Territory are involved in it, so they are naturally aware of the terrifying amount of resources consumed.

However, in the more than 20 years since the outbreak of the demon rebellion, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth has changed abnormally, and the demonic energy has proliferated. Many rare treasures of heaven and earth have been polluted and turned into mortal objects. In addition, spiritual practice requires a vast amount of resources. It can be said that the resources of the major sects and dynasties are now extremely scarce.

Now they were asked to use up resources to build a teleportation array, which made many cultivators present look embarrassed.

"Everyone..."

The reactions of these people were all within Cang Rumo's expectations. Just as he was about to explain, he suddenly heard a voice filled with anger and panic:

"What!?"

The voice was so loud that it attracted the attention of all the monks present.

Yin Jiuxuan, the leader of the Huangquan Hidden Clan, was seen standing there in a daze, his originally cold and stiff face filled with an expression of disbelief.

Chapter 261: How do you explain these?

"Chief Yin, what's wrong with you?" Cang Rumo asked.

He was secretly surprised that Yin Jiuxuan, such a cold-hearted person, would show such an expression.

Cang Rumo glanced at the jade token of voice transmission in Yin Jiuxuan's hand. Who gave Yin Jiuxuan some news that made him lose his composure like this?

No one noticed that among the people sitting in the seats of Xuelingxu, Zhu Yingqiu's eyes, which had been as calm as water, lit up slightly.

"...I'm fine."

Yin Jiuxuan's expression returned to normal after a while, but his face was still so gloomy as if water was about to drip.

He first put away the sound transmission jade token, then stood up and cast his gaze towards Cang Rumo, forcing a smile on his face: "Sect Master Cang, there are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with. Please excuse me for leaving you for a moment."

After saying that, he asked the other hidden clan monks to stand up immediately and leave with him.

"Chief Yin, what news has come from the clan?"

"The meeting is halfway through. You guys go ahead and I'll stay here and listen."

Not only the other cultivators, but even the nine Hidden Clan cultivators were bewildered, not knowing what news Yin Jiuxuan had received.

"Shut up!"

Yin Jiuxuan shouted coldly, interrupting these people's nonsense: "Everyone follow me!"

Hear this.

The nine Hidden Clan monks were confused at first, wondering if they had heard it wrong, and then a feeling of shame and anger rose in their hearts.

This Yin Jiuxuan actually scolded himself in front of the cultivators from all the major sects and dynasties in the Northern Territory?

Although Yin Jiuxuan is a powerful person in the tenth realm and the patriarch of the Huangquan Hidden Clan, the nine Hidden Clan cultivators present are all the patriarchs and supreme elders of their respective Hidden Clan, and they are all senior masters with great reputations in the cultivator world of the Northern Territory.

And they were actually scolded?

"Yin Jiuxuan, what the hell did you say to me!?"

One monk immediately slammed the table and stood up, looking angry.

This man has a pale face and no beard, and is thin in stature. He is Lian Xingchen, the supreme elder of the Lianxing Hidden Clan and a ninth-level alchemist.

Those who knew him well knew that although Lian Xingchen was the supreme elder of the Lianxing Hidden Clan and a nine-turn alchemist with superb alchemy skills, he had an extremely hot temper and would curse at people at the slightest sign of dissatisfaction. He was extremely famous in the alchemist world of the Northern Territory.

As an extremely rare ninth-level alchemist, Lian Xingchen holds a very high status among the Thirteen Hidden Clans. Naturally, he dares to confront Yin Jiuxuan, a tenth-level powerhouse, in front of all the major sects and dynasties in the Northern Territory.

"Chief Yin, do you think too highly of yourself?"

"Yin Jiuxuan..."

With Lian Xingchen taking the lead, other Hidden Clan cultivators also spoke up and put pressure on Yin Jiuxuan. If they didn't speak up at this time, they would really lose face!

"Cough cough..."

Seeing that the situation was getting worse and worse, Cang Rumo had no choice but to persuade them: "Fellow Daoists, calm down, calm down."

"call……"

Yin Jiuxuan took a deep breath and adjusted his mentality. He turned around and saluted to the few people: "I was not good at speaking and offended you fellow Taoists. Please forgive me."

Seeing that Yin Jiuxuan's apology was sincere, and Cang Rumo also came forward, the dissatisfaction on the faces of several Hidden Clan cultivators faded a little.

After Yin Jiuxuan apologized, he said stiffly, "Please follow me and leave as soon as possible. This is what Elder Luan wanted."

Elder Luan!

Several monks from the Hidden Clan were shocked.

Cang Rumo and others on the side felt confused.

Luan Jingtian.

One of the five supreme beings in the Northern Territory, the supreme elder of the Xuanyin clan among the thirteen hidden clans, and a cultivator of the tenth realm who practices the way of life.

Logically speaking, except for the missing Ao Qingyue, the other four supreme beings would come in person to this Northern Territory meeting.

Master Yu Sheng of Tong Bei Sect, Kong Yuanzi of Chi Lian Academy, as well as himself and Cang Rumo of Cang Lei Holy Sect were all present at the scene, but Luan Jingtian of the Thirteen Hidden Clans was the only one missing.

When the Thirteen Hidden Clans came to the Cang Lei Holy Sect, the explanation they gave was that Luan Jingtian had important matters to attend to and would come as soon as they were resolved. However, until the meeting began, Cang Rumo still could not see him.

The meeting reached the most critical moment, and even the cultivators from the Thirteen Hidden Clans wanted to get up and leave, which could not help but make Cang Rumo feel unhappy.

Isn't this a blatant dismantling of his reputation?!

It was the self-cultivation over the years that changed Cang Rumo's temperament a lot. If it were decades ago, he would have raised his hand and chopped these people.

Cang Rumo suppressed his displeasure and smiled: "Do you need me to send someone to help you?"

Yin Jiuxuan shook his head and clasped his fists towards Cang Rumo: "Thank you for your kindness, Sect Master Cang. We are enough for you."

After saying that, he walked towards the door.

When the Hidden Clan cultivators heard that this was Luan Jingtian's order, they no longer resisted and stood up and followed Yin Jiuxuan.

"and many more."

At this moment, an indifferent voice suddenly sounded.

Yin Jiuxuan stopped in his tracks.

It was not that he wanted to stop, but a fierce aura had locked onto him, forcing him to stop.

Yin Jiuxuan turned around and looked.

In the seat of Xuelingxu, a woman in black was looking in his direction with indifferent eyes.

The acting lord of Xueling Ruins, Zhu Yingqiu, is a ninth-level swordsman, known as the "Little Supreme".

Yin Jiuxuan was very familiar with the information about this person, because it was this person who had repelled the Thirteen Hidden Clans' monk teams that attacked the north several times and crushed their ambitions.

"Master Zhuxu, what do you mean by this?"

Yin Jiuxuan asked in a deep voice.

If it were any other time, he would definitely not give this junior a good face and would have taught him a lesson long ago, but now the situation is urgent and the Hidden Clan is in urgent need of support, so he doesn't want to waste time here.

At this time, the other monks also noticed something strange. Their eyes moved back and forth between the two of them, with curiosity showing on their faces.

What's going on?

"Hmm? What is Xiao Yingqiu doing?"

Among the cultivators in Xuelingxu, Mu Shiyan, Gong Yiya and others were all stunned, not knowing what Zhu Yingqiu was going to do.

Only Liu Ningxiang knew the inside story. The corners of her mouth slightly raised, and she thought to herself: "It seems that Xiao You'er is doing well."

"Yin Jiuxuan,"

Under everyone's gaze, Zhu Yingqiu stood up, and the sword energy on his body slowly gathered: "Twelve years ago, a team of ten people composed of ninth-level cultivators set out from the Star-Moon Sea and went deep into the north for tens of thousands of miles. During the journey, seven cities were destroyed and many lives were lost..."

When Yin Jiuxuan heard these words coming from Zhu Yingqiu's mouth, his expression changed slightly.

"...I killed all these monks and found things on them that were symbols of the Thirteen Hidden Clan's identity."

As Zhu Yingqiu spoke, he took out a bunch of things from his storage ring and threw them on the ground.

Tokens, clothing, spiritual weapons...

These things are all different, but they have one thing in common, that is, they all carry the family emblem of the Thirteen Hidden Clans.

Yin Jiuxuan's expression was stiff.

These things looked very familiar to him, and he could even remember the appearance of some of them, because he was the one who sent these monks there, and among them were some of his family descendants.

Zhu Yingqiu's eyes were sharp, like a blade: "How do you explain this?"

Chapter 262 Tit for tat

As soon as Zhu Yingqiu said this, the situation suddenly became tense.

All the cultivators looked at Yin Jiuxuan with strange eyes.

Since the outbreak of the demon rebellion, there have been frictions between the major sects and dynasties, either overtly or covertly. In particular, some sects and dynasties that were already enemies were bound by the Taoist Alliance and unable to take revenge in the past. Over the years, several conflicts have occurred under the guise of demons.

There were conflicts between many of the sects and dynasties present, but because they were in the Cang Lei Holy Sect, they suppressed the urge to take action.

Such things can be said to be countless, and the cultivators of various sects and schools are no longer surprised by this, but Zhu Yingqiu is the first cultivator to speak out about this shameful matter, and he said it in front of all the sects and dynasties in the Northern Territory.
