The Central Continent has five sacred places.
They are Qingyun Sect, Feiyun Pavilion, Tianshu Mountain, Qiling Valley, and Xiaoyao Palace.
Each of these sacred places has its strengths and is located in different areas of the Central Continent.
Usually, interactions between them are not frequent.
After all, given the current situation on the Central Continent, it is rare for two sacred places to need to act simultaneously.
But times have changed.
The four sacred places had surprisingly gathered at Qingyun Sect all at once.
This matter seemed quite significant.
However, what puzzled Ye Yu was that since the four sacred places had assembled, filled with talented individuals and powerful figures, why had they called him into the main hall?
Ye Yu scanned his surroundings.
Inside the main hall, the number of people was not large.
Across from him stood the leaders of the four sacred places.
On the Qingyun Sect's side, there were only five individuals present.
Sect leader Luo Ze, Master Hong Luan, Elder Li Nian'an, Saintess Yun Roumu, and himself.
In total, there were barely ten people.
And aside from him, everyone else had quite a renowned reputation.
This was clearly a high-level meeting of the Central Continent.
Ye Yu truly couldn’t understand why he had been called here.
He furrowed his brows slightly.
Then he felt a warmth in his palm.
Immediately afterward, he heard Yun Roumu's voice in his mind.
“Did I hurt you yesterday? I’m sorry; I was just a bit anxious.
In the future, stay away from your Master Sister; her actions were a bit excessive.
As a man out there, you must protect yourself.”
This made Ye Yu feel both amused and helpless.
Yun Roumu, oh Yun Roumu.
Are you allowed to set fire as an official while forbidding the common people from lighting lamps?
That’s a bit too much.
You won’t allow Tuoba Qiyue to hold hands, but you can keep acting this way?
Ye Yu slowly withdrew his hand.
He moved just a little.
He didn’t want Luo Ze, that old man, to notice.
However, Yun Roumu’s point was not without merit.
Why did Master Sister Tuoba Qiyue have to act that way?
Even if she was innocent and naive, indifferent to the differences between men and women, she should have only needed to hold hands.
Why the full ten fingers intertwined?
Tsk tsk tsk.
To be fair, when their fingers had been intertwined yesterday, it had instantly reminded Ye Yu of the sweet feeling he had experienced during his high school romance on Blue Star.
However, it seemed he had never seen Tuoba Qiyue’s full appearance.
She was always wearing a blindfold.
Was it because her eyes were injured, or was she inherently blind?
Just as Ye Yu pondered this, Sect leader Luo Ze slowly rose.
He walked to the center of the main hall.
With a casual wave of his hand, a three-dimensional phantom map of the Central Continent appeared before everyone.
With a gentle tap of his finger, a red light illuminated a mountain peak not far from Qingyun Sect, just a hundred miles away.
Luo Ze pointed to that spot and said, “I called everyone here for a reason; I’m sure you all understand.
So, I’ll get straight to the point!
The sealing power is gradually weakening.
The demon lord Lin Fengyuan's strength is growing stronger.
Many spirit beasts around Demon Suppression Mountain have been affected, becoming violent and bloodthirsty.
I believe that merely enhancing the sealing power is not a long-term solution.
We must find a way to eliminate Lin Fengyuan once and for all.”
Upon hearing this, Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.
He had never heard of the demon lord Lin Fengyuan before.
Hong Luan hadn’t gone into detail about him either.
This left Ye Yu quite curious.
Thus, he inquired about it through heart-to-heart communication with Yun Roumu.
She quickly provided an answer.
It was said that thirty thousand years ago, the demonic path ran rampant across the Central Continent.
Talents emerged in droves.
Lin Fengyuan was renowned at the time as the one with the highest potential.
In just a hundred years, he unified the entire demonic path on the Central Continent by himself.
Then he aimed to wipe out the righteous path in a bid to dominate the entire Central Continent.
At this critical moment, the leaders of the five sects—Qingyun Sect, Feiyun Pavilion, Tianshu Mountain, Qiling Valley, and Xiaoyao Palace—decided to step forward resolutely.
They sacrificed their lives to pierce through the coalition of the demonic path.
At the cost of their lives, they sealed the demon lord Lin Fengyuan beneath Demon Suppression Mountain.
The leaderless coalition of the demonic path collapsed.
It was this battle that brought great fame to the five sects, establishing them as the five sacred places of the Central Continent.
As time passed, the righteous path gradually gained the upper hand and completely suppressed the demonic path, dispelling the crisis.
But Lin Fengyuan did not die completely.
He was merely sealed away.
Thus, the descendants of Qingyun Sect and Feiyun Pavilion agreed that regardless of what changes occurred in the future, they would continue to keep Lin Fengyuan sealed.
Over the years, even though Lin Fengyuan had been suppressed and sealed, he had never given up on escaping from Demon Suppression Mountain.
Moreover, his strength had only grown.
Initially, he would consume the sealing power once every ten thousand years.
Now, it had only been three thousand years, and he had nearly drained the sealing power.
It was evident that if Lin Fengyuan was not eliminated, in a few more years, the effectiveness of the seal would continue to diminish.
The demon lord Lin Fengyuan would very likely break through this seal and return to the Central Continent.
When that time came, it would surely unleash a bloody storm.
After listening to Yun Roumu's account, Ye Yu frowned slightly.
He said in a deep voice, “If that’s the case, why not seize the opportunity to kill him directly?”
Yun Roumu explained, “From what I’ve read in ancient texts, the demon lord Lin Fengyuan is extremely powerful. In that era, no one could kill him.
And now, the gathering of the five sacred places is to discuss how to take him down.”
Ye Yu felt a surge of excitement in his heart.
It seemed this matter should have nothing to do with them.
Since the demon lord was so powerful, it must be the leaders of the five sacred places, emulating their predecessors, who would carry out the decapitation action.
Well, old Luo Ze, you’ve worked hard!
Ye Yu cast a caring glance toward Luo Ze at the center of the hall.
He wasn’t sure if Luo Ze sensed something.
Luo Ze turned his head and looked in Ye Yu’s direction.
His expression immediately darkened.
Ye Yu raised an eyebrow.
What’s going on? Could this old man have mind-reading abilities?
If not, why did his face turn dark?
Ye Yu suddenly felt a warmth behind him.
Turning his head, he saw that Yun Roumu had unknowingly gotten quite close to him.
Ye Yu immediately took a step forward to create some distance.
Luo Ze’s expression visibly relaxed at a rapid pace.
Indeed, this old man truly was always paying attention to them.
For this, Ye Yu felt quite speechless.
Some matters shouldn’t be governed by parental figures.
What’s more, Luo Ze was merely Yun Roumu's master.
Why was he meddling so much?
At that moment, Ye Yu suddenly noticed that Master Hong Luan was looking at him with a teasing expression.
She transmitted her voice, asking, “What’s wrong? You were so close just now; why take a step forward?
Are you afraid Luo Ze would disapprove?
If that’s the case, I can help you propose!”
“No, absolutely not!”
Ye Yu quickly refused.
He really didn’t have that kind of thought about Yun Roumu.

Otherwise, why would Ye Yu care about what Luo Ze thought?
He would have long since laid claim to Yun Roumu!
As the saying goes, the more you oppose me, the happier I become!
It’s all about that rebellious mentality.
So stimulating!
