Asking the Daoist to Flee Far Away_1 Chapter 568: 251: Danger to the Longevity Sect!
Asking the Daoist to Flee Far Away_1 Not long afterward, the six Golden Core Elders of the Longevity Sect, including Qiu Feng and two guest elders, had already arrived.
Sect Leader Xing Huiguang, on the other hand, arrived the last and rushed into the Longevity Hall, his face full of unmistakable fatigue and worry.
“Sect Leader!”
Chen Dengming and other disciples stood up to salute.
Seeing Xing Huiguang’s demeanor, they all became concerned and their mood became heavy.
As a Sect Leader, Xing Huiguang was always successful at concealing his emotions, his tenacity was stronger than others, and rarely showed fatigue and worry so blatantly on his face.
...
This indicated that the situation seemed genuinely grim.
“Everyone, be seated!”
Xing Huiguang waved his sleeve, drank a sip of tea, and seemed to realize he was slightly out of character.
His face relaxed a little as he let out a sigh, his gaze sweeping over the crowd as he spoke.

“Master Chen and Elder Ye are not near the Sect and unable to return at the moment, so I will inform them about the results of today’s meeting later using Jade Talisman for Message Transmission.
You all must have guessed why I have called you here for an emergency meeting today.”
Qiu Feng’s brows furrowed as he asked, “Has the Elder Council of the Four Regions approved Beiyin Holy Mother’s request for a duel?”
“Yep!”
Xing Huiguang sighed heavily and said, “We have no choice but to accept.
By accepting, we might delay the outbreak of a war in the Four Regions, or there may be a turnaround.
At the very least, we will have more time.
Our Ancestor will be out in two years.
It is understood that the Original Ancestor of Heavenly Dao, Master Qu of Qu Shenzong, is also on his way back from outside the Regions.
If we do not accept, the great war may start abruptly!”
Everyone was shocked, not expecting the situation to have reached such a critical stage.
Especially hearing that the Original Ancestor of Heavenly Dao, Master Qu of Qu Shenzong, was on his way back, it was evidently more significant that discussions at a higher level meeting had resulted in significant disagreement.
It had reached an unresolvable point, and posed a potential threat to the entire Four Regions, otherwise, Master Qu would not have had to return.
“The Original Ancestor of Heavenly Dao Sect, Master Qu of Qu Shenzong…”
Chen Dengming was struck with fear, feeling heavy-hearted.
This news from Sect Leader Xing was shocking; the situation was far beyond his imagination.
The Original Ancestor of Heavenly Dao Sect, Master Qu of Qu Shenzong, was a figure from more than two thousand years ago, and the only one with a Heavenly Spiritual Root among the present Four Regions.
More than two thousand years ago, he had already undergone a Divine Transformation.
He has always held the top spot in terms of combat power in the Four Regions.
At one point, he had suppressed the Heavenly Demon of Sky Demon Sect and the Lord of Mosha Country, forcing them to bow before him.
Without him, the Demon Cultivators may not have been banished to the Western Region.
Now, Master Qu of Qu Shenzong, who has disappeared from the public eye for thousands of years, is returning.
Is he preparing to take on the Demon Star, Dongfang Huayuan, to avenge the second ancestor of Heavenly Dao, Xuanchenniao?
At this point, the other elders began to express their confusion, questioning why the situation was so critical.
Xing Huiguang put down his teacup and said, “Actually, things have been moving towards a large scale war in the Four Regions ever since our predecessor, Brother Xuan, lost.
Everyone knows this.
The actual news has been blocked, and we are all in the dark, not to mention many of the disciples.
Keep in mind, the Four Regions have not experienced such a large-scale war for a long time.
Many years ago, following the establishment of the Nascent Soul Pact, the Sects of the Four Regions have remained peaceful for a long time.”
The Divine Transformation holders in every Sect either wandered outside the domains or remained in seclusion.
However, what goes around comes around.
The appearance of the Lord, Dongfang Huayuan, has disrupted this balance…
This person has not only made rapid progress but also possesses exceptional strength.
He has long become a pawn of the Heavenly Demon and Lord of Mosha Country, but at the same time, he also uses their resources to enhance his strength rapidly.
They are all in the same place, using each other…
Chen Dengming frowned.
Seeing Xing Huiguang pause, he timely inquired, “Sect Leader Elder Brother, to my knowledge, Dongfang Huayuan should have already ascended to Divine Transformation.
Given his character and strength, isn’t it dangerous for the Heavenly Demon and Lord of Mosha Country to let this man increase strength – akin to nourishing a tiger to cause trouble?”
Xing Huiguang deeply gazed at Chen Dengming and said, “That may be them trying to quench their thirst by consuming poison, or they may have other plans.
But this isn’t something we could guess.
In short, now the Heavenly Demon and Lord of Mosha Country indeed bought some time to breakthrough because of Dongfang Huayuan, and maybe this gave them the self-confidence to take on the preceding Dao Monarch, Master Qu.
The Demon Cults have secured many strategic opportunities.
The defeat of the second ancestor of Heavenly Dao, coupled with the yet-to-return ancestor of Qu Shenzong of the Heavenly Dao, is the best opportunity for them.
What we now can do is only to delay time until the Original Ancestor of our Longevity Sect wakes up or the preceding Dao Monarch, Master Qu, returns.
That’s precisely why we, the Southeast coalition, also agreed to the duel requested by Beiyin Holy Mother during the final meeting of the Four Regions boss…”
Qiu Feng nodded and said, “So, it seems that the Beiyin Holy Mother’s duel request, using the Taoist son as an excuse, isn’t merely an impulsive result of retaliation, but a method for the Demon Cults to strategically attack.
Even if the Taoist son did not kill the Beiling Saint, the Demon Cults would have found other sharp tools to tear up from other angles.”
Upon hearing this, the expression of the other Elders changed accordingly.
Chen Dengming sent a grateful look to Qiu Feng, realizing that Sect Leader Qiu was defending him, helping to avoid the disdain of others.
Xing Huiguang nodded and said, “That’s right.
What I am about to mention is this matter because not only has the Beiyin Holy Mother challenged our sect’s ancestors, but even the crown prince of Mosha has also proposed a duel.
The Elder Council of the Four Regions is likely to accept it.”
“What?”
“How can it be like this?
Don’t the elders of the Elder Council of the Four Regions know what teeth need lips to survive?
How can they agree on the duel with the third prince of Mosha at this time?”
All the Elders present were shocked.
