As soon as those words were spoken, everyone present sharpened their gaze.
If it had merely been an internal conflict, they might have been content to sit back and watch the tigers fight.
But if outside forces were involved, the nature of the matter changed completely.
This was a provocation against the Ten Great Dao Realms' rule over the entire Flowing Light Domain.
"Fellow Daoist Gantian is right." Fankong nodded slowly.
"If we do not investigate this matter thoroughly and allow it to continue, it may shake our very foundations."
"Investigate? How?" Xue Ku said irritably.
"The outskirts of the Flowing Light Domain are so vast, with worlds as numerous as oxen's hairs. Those people strike once and move elsewhere. Where are we supposed to find them?"
"That is precisely why I invited you all here today—to discuss this matter." Gantian's gaze swept across the crowd.
"Since they dare act this way, they must have something to rely on. Acting alone will only repeat Mo Chen's mistake."
"In my opinion, our Ten Great Dao Realms should join forces to deal with them."
"What do you mean?"
Gantian rose to his feet, his voice echoing through the grand hall.
"Form patrol squads. Each of our ten factions will send elites, with Hunyuan Wuji leading and Hunyuan Taiji assisting."
"Turn over every inch of the Flowing Light Domain's outskirts if we must, but drag these rats out!"
"Easy for you to say." Jiming, the Realm Lord of the Silent Light Dao Realm, sneered.
"The Flowing Light Domain is boundless. Even if we send more people, they will have fled long before we arrive. How is that any different from searching for a needle in the sea?"
"Ordinarily, that would be true." Gantian looked at everyone, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner
