Similarly, in response, the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate also sent out five True Persons.
Both sides sent a considerable number of True Persons this ti, partly due to the display of power by the Taiping Dao.
But it was not without reason that both sides were wary of each other, distrustful of the gathering of so many True Persons, which was why they sent people over to monitor.
In any case, after ten thousand years of war, the Immortal Clans of the Changqing Domain that survived were extrely sensitive to the situation and danger.
Any disturbance would alert the various Immortal Sects.
At this ti, the gathering of the True Persons from various Immortal Sects in Mi Yun Mountain was already a pre-screened situation.
It had been confird by the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate that it was rely a celebration and nothing sinister.
Even from the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate’s side, if it wasn’t for the fear of the alliance between the Taiping Dao and Qing Immortal Sect, they wouldn’t dare to linger in enemy territory, and they would have stayed in Mi Yun Mountain for the Tao Discussion Conference.
This was a secure assembly. As long as Yi Dancheng didn’t act foolishly by moving so many True Persons toward the Western Domain, it wouldn’t provoke an excessive reaction from the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
Thus, the nurous True Persons gathered in Mi Yun Mountain now constituted a reasonable and mobile force.
As long as it was not directed against the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate, they could use this formidable power at will before the others reacted.
This power, whether used for subduing demons or for entering Yellow Springs to expel ghosts, would face no obstructions.
Lu Yuan had also proposed this suggestion to Yi Dancheng only after realizing this point.
Yang Jihua also realized this, which was why he agreed so readily.
It was rare to have an opportunity to freely use so many True Persons without causing a fierce reaction from the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate.
If they didn’t take the opportunity to clear so potential issues from their backyard and lay out their precautions, that would truly be foolish.
An opportunity lost is lost forever.
Before the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate could react, they had to seize this opportunity, otherwise it really would expire and beco invalid.
Beyond not wanting to waste the opportunity,
even for the sake of rescuing Li Ruoqing, both sides indeed had to act quickly.
On Lu Yuan’s side, it was out of admiration for Li Ruoqing as a person, and a desire to foster good relations with Dongyang Mountain behind him, that he was eager to rescue.
But this did not an that the Qing Immortal Sect lacked interest in the benefits of rescuing Li Ruoqing.
After all, this was a Heavenly Immortal true transmission, backed by a Great True Person. Dongyang Mountain was a rising regional overlord with strength far surpassing that of the fading Qing Immortal Sect.
Now, the true disciple of the other party had co to Chinese Qing Immortal Sect’s territory to travel, but an incident had occurred.
Tell , shouldn’t the Qing Immortal Sect, as the host, bear so responsibility?
Even if Dongyang Mountain was reasonable and wouldn’t bla them,
the Qing Immortal Sect could not pretend to be unaware and had to consider this powerful neighbor’s attitude.
Otherwise, if the neighbor beca angry, they wouldn’t need to act personally—just showing so hostility and giving a little support to the Jiuzhou Immortal Gate would be enough trouble for the Qing Immortal Sect.
When a person is down on their luck, any additional pressure can be deadly.
The Qing Immortal Sect had been unfortunate for nearly ten thousand years, and through this continuous decline, they had deeply experienced this truth.
So instinctively, there was a consciousness to avoid risks.
It was fine not knowing initially.
But now that they knew of Li Ruoqing’s identity, then this true disciple of Dongyang Mountain…
Must be saved!
And he must be saved quickly; they absolutely could not let him die at the hands of the Ghost Emperor.
Even if he were already dead, they would have to kill the Ghost Emperor before Dongyang Mountain could bla them, to provide an explanation.
For survival’s sake, even a strong clan like the Qing Immortal Sect sotis had to make compromises.
Once both sides reached a consensus, Yang Jihua and Yi Dancheng imdiately took action.
One went to seek the Immortal Sects of the Northern and Eastern Territory, and the other went to the Southern Domain Immortal Sect to prepare and facilitate the Ghost-Exorcising Ceremony.
But before mobilizing, Lu Yuan held a brief eting first.
"This Ghost-Exorcising Ceremony, with Qing Guanzi leading in the Southern Domain as the Taiping Dao’s representative,
and accompanied by Che Shidao.
After you head to Xiaye Country and finish the Ghost-Exorcising Ceremony, clearing out the ghosts of Yellow Springs Underworld, the local demons are likely to be cleared out as well.
Che Shidao will then stay in that country, establishing a new branch for the Taiping Dao."
Lu Yuan looked towards Che Shidao, giving the instructions.
The latter nodded, "No problem, I will handle it."
Establishing a branch was a minor issue; Che Shidao had built up such fraworks single-handedly in Mi Yun Mountain in Youxin Country.
Now going to Xiaye Country was rely repeating what he had previously done.
But establishing a new branch ant several more years of busy work, which made him sowhat troubled.
After arranging Che Shidao’s tasks, Lu Yuan then looked towards Qing Guanzi, saying, "This ti, you are representing the Taiping Dao and the Southern Domain Immortal Gate. You are also one of the two Earth Flower True n leading this Ghost-Exorcising Ceremony, so you have a great responsibility.
I have only two requests for you.
One, completely pacify the Yellow Springs Underworld and eradicate all the ghosts there, ensuring it does not beco a hidden threat to the Southern Domain.
Two, if there is an opportunity, catch the rabbits along with the scorching grass. Bring the many True Persons attending the ceremony and take care of the two flood dragons from the Jiuchuan Demon Nation as well."
