Chapter 558 - 250: What Does Li Qun’s Fame Have to Do with Me?
"Senior Brother Gong? What’s wrong?"
Seeing the strange expression on Gong Yuyuan’s face, Fu Lihong couldn’t help but ask anxiously.
Elder Luo also wore a concerned look.
"What did Chu Ning say? Could it be that the Netherworld Sect has seized the territory?"
Gong Yuyuan had already snapped out of his initial shock.
Upon hearing their questions, the peculiar expression vanished from his face, and he burst into laughter.
"The Netherworld Sect seized territory? Ha, you’ve got it wrong. It’s Chu Ning who led the sect’s disciples to seize the Netherworld Sect’s territory!!"
"What?"
"Senior Brother Gong, you didn’t mishear, did you?"
Not only were Elder Luo and Fu Lihong surprised, but even Elder He, Yi Wenliang, and the others were all astonished.
They were already aware of the purpose of this trip before they came.
It was to set up arrays outside the territory guarded by the Jiuhua Sect to prevent further ambushes from the Demon Alliance.
Furthermore, the information that Yi Wenliang and the others had received indicated that the Jiuhua Sect’s situation was not very good.
Youluo Sect’s strength was formidable, and once they attacked, Jiuhua Sect would face great pressure.
Because of this, they prepared briefly and rushed over overnight upon receiving the information.
But now, they suddenly heard that the Jiuhua Sect had not lost territory, but rather seized the territory of the Netherworld Sect. How could they not be shocked?
Before the crowd could recover from the shock, Gong Yuyuan continued to laugh heartily:
"I didn’t mishear. What Chu Ning said in the Sound Transmission Talisman was indeed like this.
They not only seized a little territory, but actually took over more than a hundred miles of territory that the Netherworld Sect was responsible for.
Not only that, but they seized nearly half of the Demon Spirit Sect’s territory as well."
"..."
The crowd, who were a bit surprised earlier, were now completely stunned upon hearing Gong Yuyuan’s words.
After a while, everyone seemed to realize that Gong Yuyuan’s words were not a joke.
Elder Luo’s face was filled with joy.
Fu Lihong murmured:
"How did they manage to do it?"
"How they managed to do it is not our concern for the time being." A smile spread across Gong Yuyuan’s authoritative face.
"The urgent task is, Nephew Yi, you should quickly take the Array Masters and go.
While the forces of the Demon Alliance haven’t arrived yet, quickly set up the array."
Upon hearing this, Yi Wenliang immediately responded:
"Yes, Master Gong!"
Immediately, more than ten people swiftly flew towards the location indicated by Chu Ning’s Sound Transmission Talisman.
After Yi Wenliang and others left, several Golden Core Elders still gazed in that direction.
Once the expression on Gong Yuyuan’s face subsided, a sharp glint flashed in his eyes.
"If what Chu Ning said in the Sound Transmission Talisman was true, then our Jiuhua Sect’s reputation will surely be greatly enhanced!"
"Indeed!" Elder Luo immediately responded:
"Among the three major alliances, our Cloud Peak Alliance occupies the least territory.
Now, our Jiuhua Sect has managed to expand by over a hundred and forty or fifty miles, providing significant support to the alliance.
This group of nephews, truly exceeded everyone’s expectations."
As they chatted casually, about an hour passed when they received another Sound Transmission Talisman.
It was a message from Chu Ning’s side, indicating that Yi Wenliang and the Array Masters had initially set up the Array Restriction.
This way, although the array still needed to be perfected, the first line of defense had been established.
Even if the Demon Alliance people wanted to seize this territory back now, it wouldn’t be that easy.
The Golden Core Cultivators exchanged smiles and breathed a sigh of relief.
Gong Yuyuan immediately said:
"In that case, I will immediately send a message to the sect about this news.
It seems that until the complete formation of the Spirit Realm and the appearance of the Spirit Seed, this territory will be our sect’s responsibility.
Now that the territory has expanded significantly, although there is array defense, we still need disciples stationed here. Let’s see how the Supreme Elder and the Sect Leader plan and consider it."
As Gong Yuyuan spoke, his eyes narrowed, and he reached out to catch a swiftly arriving Sound Transmission Talisman.
After opening and listening to it, he immediately turned to the other three Golden Core Cultivators and said:
"Let’s go, the alliance has urgently summoned all the sects to discuss something. Let’s head over to take a look."
Immediately, the several Golden Core Elders of Jiuhua Sect flew out from this unnamed small peak and then flew to the mountain where the Cloud Peak Alliance had set up camp.
The Cloud Peak Alliance is an alliance formed by various sects. Matters within the alliance are decided jointly by the Nascent Soul Cultivators of each sect, but there is also an Alliance Leader and five Vice Alliance Leaders.
The Alliance Leader is the one with the highest cultivation in the alliance, Nascent Soul Late Stage Cultivator Qin Changkong of the Guiyuan Sect.
The Guiyuan Sect is also the largest Major Sect within the Cloud Peak Alliance, boasting as many as five Nascent Soul Cultivators within the sect.
Now that the Nascent Soul Cultivators are not present, the person calling the congregation of everyone is a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator from the Guiyuan Sect, named Jiang Cheng.
When Gong Yuyuan and his companions entered the large stone chamber in a temporary Cave Mansion inside the peak, they saw Jiang Cheng standing in the center.
Jiang Cheng’s stature wasn’t particularly tall, wearing a white Magic Robe, his gaze clear as water, lacking the fierce aura of Gong Yuyuan.
But upon seeing Jiang Cheng, Gong Yuyuan’s heart was slightly tense.
"The cultivation of this Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator from the Guiyuan Sect seems to have improved; he certainly is, like the Sect Leader, considered one of the cultivators most likely to advance to the Nascent Soul Stage within the alliance.
We are originally cultivators of the same tier, yet now, he gives me a sense of being inscrutable.
It’s hard to know whether he or the Sect Leader will become a Nascent Soul Cultivator first."
