The Situation Shifts Suddenly
"Lord Bo Xuan, as the Hall Master of the Darkness Palace of the Northern Xuan Region, isn't it a bit inappropriate for you to interfere in the internal affairs of my Eastern Xuan Region?"
As expected, Tian Yuanzi launched an attack on Bo Xuan without hesitation.
As a top-tier Samsara Stage expert who wields the Darkness Ancestral Symbol, Bo Xuan Tian Yuanzi understands how terrifying Bo Xuan's combat power is. If he is not eliminated first, this guy might be able to hold off the Three Great Yuan Gate Giants by himself, then what's the point of fighting?
"Tian Yuanzi Sect Master Tianyuanzi is mistaken. In recent years, the Yuan Sect has been rampant and domineering in the Eastern Xuan Region. Countless Super Sect with slightly weaker strength have been destroyed by the Yuan Sect's powerful military force for some unfounded reasons."
"Today, he even intends to break the rules jointly established by the eight major sects and arbitrarily attack the champion of the Sect Competition, which has aroused the wrath of both gods and men. Even the Palace Hall Master, who is far away in the Northern Xuan Region, could not stand it and thus accepted the invitation of the Dao Sect Master Ying Xuanzi to come and help."
"We must sweep away this filth and restore a bright and clear world to the Eastern Xuan Region."
Bo Xuan calmly retorted.
The Hall Master of the Darkness Palace is quite the old fox. You, Tian Yuanzi, say I'm meddling in your Eastern Xuan Region affairs without permission. No, I didn't want to come in the first place.
It is your Yuan Sect is bullying the weak. I came here at the invitation of your insiders to punish evil and promote good. Otherwise, I would not have come. It is because your Yuan Sect has gone too far.
"Indeed, I have known Bo Xuan for many years. Today, the Yuan Sect is so wantonly trampling on the rules that the eight of us established together back then, and treating our fellow practitioners in the Eastern Xuan Region as nothing. This is intolerable."
"The Dao Sect is weak, and I Ying Xuanzi, have no choice but to ask Lord Bo Xuan to come and help us to eradicate this evil influence."
Ying Xuanzi listened without blinking and immediately spoke up to endorse Bo Xuan.
Although Ying Xuanzi didn't know why the Hall Master the Darkness Palace, who was far away in the Northern Xuan Region, would suddenly appear here and unexpectedly stand up for the Dao Sect, it didn't stop him from accepting this favor.
If an uninformed person saw Ying Xuanzi's earnest and sentimental expression, they would surely think that the two were old friends who had known each other for many years.
"I don't believe you for a second! You're a really bad old man!"
The same thought arose in the minds of the Three Great Yuan Gate Giants.
Seeing that Bo Xuan was impenetrable, Tian Yuanzi and the other two could only sigh and immediately turn their attention to the other of the two powerful reinforcements.
"Supreme Pure Palace Mistress, why do you meddle in the feud between my Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect? I remember there is no animosity between our two sects. I advise you not to interfere in today's affairs so as not to affect the relationship between our two sects."
Tian Yuanzi stared intently at the beautiful woman in white.
"In fact, Lord Bo Xuan and Sect Master Ying Xuanzi have already said everything I wanted to say. In the past hundred years, your Yuan Sect has become increasingly presumptuous and domineering. Today, the Yuan Sect can trample on the rules and start a war against the Dao Sect at will. Tomorrow, you will directly send troops to attack my Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace. This trend must not be allowed to continue."
"Once the Dao Sect falls, who will be next? Once all the comrades in the Eastern Xuan Region have fallen, who will come to save my Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace? Therefore, saving the Dao Sect is saving my Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace."
The Supreme Pure Palace Mistress glanced casually at a certain spot in the void, and said meaningfully.
In fact, as the head of a palace, the Supreme Pure Palace Mistress bears the fate of hundreds of thousands of disciples within the palace. She would never act on emotion easily. Her secret trip to the Demon City was because she had seen through the general trend of the Eastern Xuan Region and intended to intervene in the crisis.
The so-called invitation from Ling Qingzhu was merely a matter of going with the flow.
If the war between the Yuan Sect and Dao Sect does not endanger the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, even if Ling Qingzhu kneels down and begs her, it is uncertain whether the Supreme Pure Palace Mistress will lend a helping hand.
After all, as the head of a palace, her every word and action directly affects the fate of hundreds of thousands of disciples in the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, and she would never easily express her opinion.
Upon hearing the words of the Supreme Pure Palace Mistress, countless powerful figures in the world paled in shock. This woman, who had always appeared so gentle, had revealed a secret of heaven with a single sentence.
In that hidden space within the void, the five people who were still arguing suddenly fell into an eerie silence, as if silently savoring something.
The most vehement reactions undoubtedly came from the Three Great Sect Masters of Yuan Gate.
Because that's exactly what they intend to do, not now, but later.
In the original novel, after Lin Dong went to the Chaotic Demon Region, the Yuan Sect felt that the time was right. In order to deplete the Eastern Xuan Region's strength in resisting the Yi Mo, they did not hesitate to launch a war against the other Seven Great Sects powers.
In the early stages, in order to mislead other Super Sect, the Yuan Sect found some seemingly legitimate reasons to carry out their attacks one by one, such as: power struggles, past grudges, and current affections and hatreds.
Therefore, the other factions also adopted a "not my problem" attitude, watching one Super Sect after another collapse.
Later, the Yuan Sect, whose strength had expanded rapidly, simply stopped looking for reasons and launched a frenzied war against other Super Sect, destroying, destroying, and destroying again, turning the entire Eastern Xuan Region into a scorched wasteland.
By the time the remaining Super Sect realized what was happening, it was already too late to turn the tide.
Of the eight major sects, apart from the Yuan Sect, only Dao Sect and Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace are barely surviving. Sects such as Sword Sect, Primeval Desolation Hall, Myriad Puppet Sect, Divine Sect, Talisman Valley have all fallen to the Yuan Sect's powerful military might, some dead, some fleeing, and some surrendering.
Finally, if the protagonist hadn't led the Demon Domain army back to their aid in time, these two remaining Super Sect would have collapsed, and the entire Eastern Xuan Region would have been turned into a demonic land by the Yuan Sect.
This was a long-term plan devised by the Yuan Sect, so how could the Supreme Pure Palace Mistress know about it?
If the Three Great Yuan Gate Giants hadn't been so deep-seated, they probably would have already believed the plan had been leaked and then immediately launched the Scorched Earth Plan ahead of schedule.
"Supreme Pure Palace Mistress, you are overthinking this. Today's matter is entirely a private matter between my Yuan Sect and the Dao Sect. Please do not involve other sects."
The Three Great Yuan Gate Giants, their faces ashen, exchanged a glance without leaving a trace, and then gradually regained their composure.
"Only the three Sect Master themselves know the true nature of today's situation. I only have one thing to say: I request that both sides cease hostilities and let this matter end here."
The Supreme Pure Palace Mistress glanced at the three of them with her bright, beautiful eyes, smiled elegantly, but her tone left no room for argument.
This woman, who had always kept a low profile among the top ten Samsara Stage experts in the Eastern Xuan Region, finally revealed a hint of her brilliance today.
"Supreme Pure Palace Mistress, you..."
The three people, Tian Yuanzi and his companions, who had previously forced smiles, now had serious expressions.
In the past, how could the Nine Heavens Supreme Pure Palace, which had been the second strongest for ten thousand years, dare to speak to the Yuan Sect, whose strength was unparalleled among the eight major sects, like this? It was truly presumptuous!
"We urge both sides to cease hostilities and let this matter end here!"
Bo Xuan, a thousand-year-old monster, perfectly seized the opportunity and immediately waved his sleeves to support the Supreme Pure Palace Mistress.
"Please cease hostilities and let this matter end here!"
Ying Xuanzi and the Blue-Robed Elder exchanged a glance and shouted in unison.
The four renowned experts at the Samsara Stage joined forces to pressure the Three Great Yuan Gate Giants, forcing them to withdraw and protect Lin Dong.
However, the situation took a dramatic turn in an instant!
