Chapter 1647: Chapter 124: Yi Situation

“The primitive Demonic Sect…”

Within the Pure Yang Palace, the group of Immortal Ascension cultivators hearing Zhao Feng’s words couldn’t help but have their expressions slightly darken.

Ji Ying slightly furrowed his brows and raised a critical question:

“Not mentioning the Youxian Temple, the Longevity Sect guards the north of the Jin capital, the east and south are defended by our Wanxiang Sect, and the primitive Demonic Sect is in the north. How can they bypass the two major sects and penetrate directly into the heart of Jin?”

“Even if they secretly deploy tactics to infiltrate the heart of Jin, isn’t the primitive Demonic Sect afraid of being encircled by our Three Sects?”

Ji Ying’s words received approval from most in the hall.

Hearing this, Zhao Feng pondered and said, “According to Elder Ji Ying’s opinion, we don’t support our intervention?”

Ji Ying hesitated for a moment, then shook his head and said:

“The Three Sects and One Clan are interconnected; since the Qin Family has spoken, we must respond regardless of the situation. However, without understanding the Demonic Sect’s condition, the extent of our support warrants discussion.”

Ling Weizi, standing to the side, also quietly said:

“Just now, in the Spirit Rhinoceros Stone, the Qin Family’s words were not detailed. If the primitive Demonic Sect really intends to act against the Qin Family, given Han Yanzi’s meticulous and cunning nature, how could the news have leaked?”

“If I were Han Yanzi, apart from the leader, I certainly wouldn’t let a third person know about this matter.”

“Moreover, it’s unreasonable for the primitive Demonic Sect to suddenly act against the Qin Family at this time. Decades ago, Han Yanzi suffered a severe setback at the hands of Grandmaster Hui; doesn’t he fear that Grandmaster Hui might take action again?”

“What drives the Demonic Sect to act against the Qin Family?”

“Or rather, what’s the Demonic Sect’s purpose in targeting the Qin Family?”

Hearing this, Ji Ying nodded in agreement:

“Exactly, if we are unaware of the Demonic Sect’s objective, it means they are in the dark while we are in the open. Before understanding their intentions, I think we should refrain from rash actions.”

Hearing this, Zhao Feng slightly relaxed his brows; he had the same thoughts in his mind.

Though he couldn’t articulate many reasons, his instinct perceived something was amiss.

However, he noticed that among the Immortal Ascension cultivators, the former Sect Master Qu Shentong looked worried, seemingly holding a different opinion.

His heart was stirred, and he politely asked:

“What are your thoughts, Elder Qu?”

Everyone immediately looked towards Qu Shentong.

Qu Shentong hesitated slightly and then asked the crowd a question:

“Do you all remember when Vice Sect Master Wang, after establishing the Taoist Field, prophesied the future for the Qin Family?”

This question made the cultivators in the hall suddenly recall something, and their expressions changed.

Ji Ying’s expression lost its previous calmness, now filled with seriousness:

“I remember Vice Sect Master Wang’s critique for the Qin Family mentioned ‘an unavoidable calamity.’ Could it be…”

“The Qin Family is now meeting their fate?”

Ling Weizi thought even deeper, his expression serious:

“Does this mean the celestial calamity begins with the Qin Family?”

Everyone couldn’t help but recall the scene where Wang Ba prophesied for the Qin Family and Liang Wuji of the Longevity Sect, and their moods grew heavier.

Cultivators don’t often believe in so-called fate, but if the one speaking is Vice Sect Master Wang, then everyone must take it into consideration to some degree.

“Is the Vice Sect Master still unreachable?”

In the midst of silence, Ling Weizi asked again.

Zhao Feng slightly shook his head:

“Decades ago, he said he would go into seclusion for a while, and there has been no news since then.”

Everyone couldn’t help but show a look of disappointment.

If Wang Ba were here, with his proficiency in divination, he should be able to confirm whether the celestial calamity has already begun.

But precisely because it’s difficult to confirm, they are now in a quandary.

Just then, a stream of light landed outside the hall.

“Wang Yi’an of Xinjian Peak seeks an audience with the Sect Master.”

Zhao Feng was slightly stunned, then said in a steady voice:

“Come in.”

As the words fell, a young figure walked in with vigorous strides.

Everyone looked and saw that this young man bore a sixty percent resemblance to Wang Ba, but his features were much more handsome.

His aura was now steadily at the Nascent Soul Late Stage, clearly having put in considerable hard work over time.

Many of those present were close relatives and couldn’t help but nod in approval upon seeing this.

Facing so many Immortal Ascension cultivators, the young man did not flinch, first saluting Zhao Feng, then bowing to everyone.

He then respectfully held up a Messaging Magical Device and presented it to Zhao Feng.

With some curiosity, Zhao Feng took it, and after activating it with mana, an indistinct voice came through.

The content of the voice, however, sent a jolt through Zhao Feng!

“Detailed personnel arrangement for the primitive Demonic Sect’s attack on Tianjing City?!”

He suddenly looked up at Wang Yi’an:

“He is…?”

Wang Yi’an nodded and said solemnly:

“His name cannot be disclosed, but he is very close with my father and should be trustworthy.”

Those around, wanting to speak, held back after hearing this last part.

Zhao Feng, however, seemed thoughtful, vaguely guessing the person’s identity.

Holding the Messaging Magical Device, he pondered deeply.

After careful consideration, he glanced around and asked again:

“The primitive Demonic Sect’s invasion of the Qin Family seems somewhat credible.”

“If it’s truly the beginning of a great calamity, should we heed the Qin Family’s request for aid or not?”

This time, neither Ji Ying nor Ling Weizi expressed any objections.

Whether to support or defend, the Wanxiang Sect has largely recovered from the previous upheaval, especially with Hui Yunzi Ancestor overseeing. Even if a few Immortal Ascension cultivators were dispatched to help, no major problems would arise within the sect, leaving considerable leeway for the Wanxiang Sect.
