Hearing the old man’s words, Kong Junyu frowned deeply, knitting his brows together.
Soon, his eyes revealed a cold glint as he snorted, "So what if the Eternal Peak’s backer is possibly beyond the Nascent Soul Realm? Have I ever been afraid of anyone? Put down this matter for now and stop investigating about the Eternal Peak, investigate about the other Void Refinement Realm powers, and destroy them if you have to.
The East Coast has not sent any reply, which means the forces behind it do not wish to cooperate with us. We’ll have to face the wrath of both the righteous path and the demonic path along with the Demon Race together in time to come. No matter what, my plan to unify the Qingyun Region and then the State of Fengzhou must not be interrupted by any means!"
An extremely terrifying force swept over all direction from Kong Junyu’s voice as he declared boldly.
Wind swept up like a raging storm and blew away the piles of bones like grains of sand.
In front of this huge pressure, the old man felt his heart palpitate.
This old man was a demonic cultivator called Gong Yuanzhi, and he was an Alchemist at the Sixth Stage of Void Refinement Realm.
Despite being over 3 minor realms above Kong Junyu, he felt that the latter could kill him with a wave of his hand.
He hastily nodded and bowed solemnly before dissipating into a green mist.
"The Eternal Peak..."
Kong Junyu looked into the distance and muttered, his tone cold and eyes filled with a sharp killing intent.
...
2 years later.
News of more and more Golden Core Realm factions being attacked by demonic cultivators appeared, causing all the cultivators of the Qingyun Region to be extremely anxious.
During this time, the Qingyun Sword Sect and all the other Void Refinement Realm factions had been supporting the weaker powers by sending their forces over, including a large number of Golden Core Realm cultivators and even Void Refinement Realm cultivators.
Not every Void Refinement Realm power had hundreds of Void Refinement Realm cultivators unlike the Qingyun Sword Sect, some powers only had a single Void Refinement Realm existence such as the Turquoise Lake Sword Manor.
Such factions could not send out Void Refinement Realm experts to support weaker forces, and thus could only do their best by sending Golden Core Realm cultivators.

In the past years, after the news of the Luminous Jade Chamber becoming a subordinate forces of the Eternal Peak spread, more and more Acquired Realm, Innate Realm, and even the Foundation Establishment Realm small factions came to surrender to the Eternal Peak and sent quite a lot of their geniuses and top experts to cultivate there.
Many factions who were already subsidiary powers of factions that had submitted to the Eternal Peak also naturally came under them.
Nearly all the forces below the Golden Core Realm in a distance of a hundred thousand miles from all directions had become subsidiary forces of the Eternal Peak so they could obtain its protection.
The number of these factions was simply uncountable, and the Eternal Peak also obtained a huge amount of powerful personnel.
A Teleportation Array Formation was built in every single one of the subordinate forces that directly connected to the Teleportation Array Formation of the Eternal Peak, and they could also contact the Eternal Peak in times of crisis through Communication Jades.
For some reason, the demonic cultivators were only targeting Golden Core Realm and above factions, possibly because they thought it would be easier to deal with the rest after they dealt with the upper echelons of the Qingyun Region.
In response, even Golden Core Realm powers were considering swearing allegiance to the Eternal Peak.
Same things had been happening all around the Qingyun Region, and most factions had bowed down their heads to their nearest Void Refinement Realm power which represented the peak of the Qingyun Region to protect themselves.
Unknowingly, the Eternal Peak had already been recognized as a Void Refinement Realm power at the very least in the eyes of the Qingyun Region.
Even though the overall strength of the Eternal Peak without its top figures was far inferior to even the Golden Core Realm factions, everyone knew that it had only risen for less than 500 years and it was already impressive enough to build such a great power in this short period of time.
Just seeing that the eldest disciple of the Eternal Peak and the first disciple of the Master of Eternal Peak at the Golden Core Realm was already enough to give them hope that the Master of Eternal Peak may very well be a great figure of the Void Refinement Realm.
Moreover, after hearing that the First Supreme of the Eternal Peak was in seclusion and about to breakthrough to the Void Refinement Realm, they were even more certain and felt that they made the right decision.
Yes, Tian Yunchen was also about to enter the Void Refinement Realm.
On the other side, the Qingyun Sword Sect had yet to face a public attack, yet their members had also been attacked in private when they went out, but this had not been revealed to the outside world so as to prevent disarray and chaos.
At this moment, at the Qingyun Sword Sect.
In the Sect Master’s Palace, Mo Qingxuan was standing below the main platform and Mo Wenxiong sat on the main seat of the sect master.
Aside from them, there was no one else in the hall.
Mo Qingxuan looked up and spoke in a humble manner, "Father, recently, more and more Golden Core Realm powers of the Qingyun Region have been targeted by the demonic cultivators. Even some weaker Void Refinement Realm forces have begun to be attacked. If this goes on, I’m afraid that no powerful force will remain in the Qingyun Region by the time of the Dao Conference."
His tone of voice was filled with unwillingness and reluctance, eyes full of dignity as the ruler of a faction who had been at the top for more than ten thousand years.
It was only right now he could call Mo Wenxiong as his father as there was no one else around, not to mention the Spiritual Energy barrier that blocked their conversation. Otherwise, he mostly called him as the Supreme Elder.
Silent ensued in the grand hall as lamps flickered with the fire produced by Spiritual Energy inside of them, brightening the entire hall.
After some time, Mo Wenxiong finally spoke up, "Make an announcement to the outside world that I have come out of seclusion. It will intimidate those demonic cultivators for the time being. If it doesn’t work, then send out the Peak Masters and Sword Guardians, do we have a shortage of Void Refinement Realm personnel?
The Dao Conference will go on for 10 years, and multiple Nascent Soul Realm experts of the State of Fengzhou will preach the Dao, including me. We have to hold on till then, and other things can only be discussed after the conference ends. We cannot rush things. If I take action directly, then the demonic path will get on guard." His voice was calm, and he exuded an unfathomable area as he said this.
"Moreover, many weaker factions have already submitted to other powerful Void Refinement Realm forces. The power balance in the Qingyun Region has been shaken deeply this time, but there’s nothing we can do except for letting nature take its course." He continued.
Mo Qingxuan did not refute him, but just stood in silence for a long time.
There was nothing they could do. It was the truth.
In the end, he was too weak to meddle in this. He could only blame himself for his lack of strength.
After some time, Mo Wenxiong asked him some questions, and he answered all of them sincerely.
"How is the preparation for the Dao Conference going?" Mo Wenxiong asked calmly.
"It has been going well so far, and is mostly done by now. Many influential figures from within the Qingyun Region will also come with their disciples and subordinates. Even if they do not know the real purpose of this Dao Conference, no one would miss the chance to listen to the preaching of a Nascent Soul Realm expert such as yourself." Mo Qingxuan replied and explained the situation roughly.
"Has that person also been invited?"
"Who..." Just as Mo Qingxuan was about to ask, he suddenly remembered something.
Nodding slightly, he said, "Yes, I told Xin’er to invite him quite a while ago."
"Good, good, good!" Mo Wenxiong revealed a mysterious smile.
Mo Qingxuan was secretly curious as to how talented one must be to pique his father’s interest. The last time he smiled like this was when he found out that Mo Yuxin possessed a Heavenly Spiritual Root, but his smile was even more deeper this time.
He already had a guess in his mind, but he did not say it.
