Tengchong City, Main Family Conference Hall.
The people who built this conference hall probably never would have imagined, even if beaten to death,
that a hundred years later, it would become the gathering place for a council that might change the Nine Provinces.
Liu Yun, the Female Emperor of Great Sui, entered first.
Next came the Demon Slayer Ye Liang.
The gravely wounded Demon Slayer Han Yu also arrived.
Zhong Ziyou, a Great Confucian of Huailu Academy.
Jing Yu, a disciple of Huailu Academy and the current Governor of Western Zhili in Great Sui.
Zhao Ling'er and Aliya, disciples of Huailu Academy.
The Great Confucian Zhang Tai.
Lin Xiao, Crown Prince of Great Xia, and his Eastern Palace Tutor, True Person Wushan.
Gu Xizhou, the world's first Ninth-Realm Martial Warrior.
Qingfeng, Run Tu, and the others from Shushan's Heaven-Reaching Peak.
Changqing, holy disciple of the Buddhist Sect.
Wang Yi of the Military School and his junior sister Ling'er.
The old Celestial Master of Dragon-Tiger Mountain and his sole disciple, Qin Shi.
Influential figures representing the various powers were all present.
Besides them, there were the two demons of Bear Rabbit Mountain, Xiong Da and Xiong Er, and the Mountain God Liu Kan.
Yan Shisan, Octopus Sword, Pang Jun and the master and disciple from Chaolong Temple, the Alchemist Lu Renjia from Pinggu, and others...
The Demon Slayer Han Yu sucked in a cold breath, partly from pain and partly from surprise.
When he woke, he had already prepared himself for the city to fall and everyone to perish.
Yet who could have known that, upon waking, he would see someone treating his wounds?
He also learned an astonishing piece of news: Tengchong City had held!!
Seeing reinforcements filling the streets, Han Yu thought for a moment that he was dreaming.
