Kneeling

When his disciples told Cui Yan that various sects from the Southern Frontier were about to arrive at the sect, he was completely distraught.

What's going on?

When Yi Xuan was in power, the Azure Cloud Sect did indeed act rather ostentatiously in dealing with the Mystic Snow Pavilion.

But that's all there is to it.

It's not worth so many sects coming together to demand an explanation.

Moreover, it's unknown who wants to use someone else to do the dirty work.

He actually managed to get all the sects in the Southern Frontier to obey Yi Xuan's orders.

Isn't this putting the Azure Cloud Sect in a very difficult position?

The person who sent the message was truly ruthless, destroying the spirit in the process.

Cui Yan really wanted to know who was planning to attack the Azure Cloud Sect.

But there's no time to investigate now.

With all the major sects of Southern Frontier coming to his door at the same time, Cui Yan couldn't think of any other possibility besides demanding an explanation.

Not long after Cui Yan received the news, the three elders of the Azure Cloud Sect also arrived at the same time.

"Sect Leader! What's going on?"

As soon as the three entered, Supreme Elder Li couldn't help but ask.

"The situation may not be very optimistic for the three elders!"

Upon hearing Cui Yan's words, the three elders felt a tremor in their hearts.

Given the current strength of the Azure Cloud Sect, the fact that Cui Yan spoke of a less than optimistic situation suggests that the threat facing the sect is more serious than imagined.

"All the top-tier and first-rate sects from the Southern Frontier have arrived! Second-rate sects are also gradually making their way here!"

When the three elders heard the telepathic message earlier, they already knew the seriousness of the matter.

Their thoughts were the same as Cui Yan's; they believed that someone wanted to target the Azure Cloud Sect and make it the target of the Azure Cloud Sect's attacks.

They had already prepared for the worst.

After hearing Cui Yan's words, the three realized that what they thought was the worst-case scenario wasn't actually that bad.

The reality was far worse than they imagined.

The Azure Cloud Sect was practically on the opposite side of the entire Southern Frontier.

And right now, they don't have any solutions.

Finally, with a helpless sigh, Cui Yan looked at the old matriarch and asked, "Grandma, the contingency plan that Junior Brother Yi left for me is ready. You should also activate your puppet army! I hope my Azure Cloud Sect can turn misfortune into good fortune this time... alas..."

Xiao Anhe also looked grim at this moment, although he still hoped that Yi Xuan could step forward at the critical moment as he had done last time and save Azure Cloud Sect from its predicament.

But this time the situation is completely different from the last time.

This time, we're facing the entire Southern Frontier!

Although he knew in his heart that Cui Yan was definitely trying to contact Yi Xuan.

But in Xiao Anhe's heart, he actually hoped that Yi Xuan would not respond at all.

After all, the situation was far too dangerous; even if Yi Xuan returned, he would probably just be throwing his life away.

"Sect Leader! A message from an outer disciple says that several sects are about to arrive at the mountain gate! They are unsure how to handle the situation, so they request your guidance!"

Cui Yan's face was grim at that moment.

But he understood that what is meant to be a blessing in disguise will inevitably come to pass.

If Heaven intends to destroy the Azure Cloud Sect today, then it would be better to let the sect depart in glory.

"Issue the order: dispatch disciples to welcome these sects! They are guests, so disciples must not be disrespectful, nor should they tarnish the reputation of our Azure Cloud Sect! Make proper arrangements for all the sect visitors in the city at the foot of the mountain! Report any problems to the sect immediately!"

In Cui Yan's view, it doesn't matter what these sects are here for.

There has to be some logic to it!

He sent his disciples to greet them and treated them to good food and drink.

Even if you're here to wipe out your entire family, you wouldn't have to rush things, would you?

Moreover, the disciples they sent were all low-level cultivators from their respective sects. Even if these sects came to demand an explanation, they wouldn't dare to take their anger out on these novice cultivators.

Thus, under the sect leader's command, all the outer disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect began their reception duties with trepidation.

Seeing the powerful cultivators standing in front of them, the Azure Cloud Sect disciples were almost scared to death.

They were afraid that if they didn't serve the big shots well, they would displease them.

If you casually give yourself a blow, you might lose your life.

But the reality was completely different from what they had imagined.

The people who came were indeed big shots from various sects, but they were very kind and approachable when they were receiving the Azure Cloud Sect disciples.

Some disciples even felt that these big shots were too approachable.

Not only did they not make any requests throughout the entire process, but they also completely followed our arrangements.

Even after arranging accommodations for them and preparing to leave, they gave the disciples who had received them some gifts as a token of their welcome.

The most outrageous thing is that one of the disciples actually received a Supreme-Grade Law Artifact.

This is Supreme-Grade Law Artifact!

There are only a handful of these in the entire Azure Cloud Sect!

That disciple never imagined that he, a low-ranking member of the Azure Cloud Sect, would one day obtain such a treasure.

The disciple who went to receive them then reported the situation to Cui Yan.

Cui Yan and the three elders were at a loss for what to do.

Wasn't this supposed to be an opportunity to demand an explanation?

Something feels off!

This attitude doesn't seem like an accusation, but rather like an apology!

Moreover, more and more outrageous news continued to come from the disciples who were receiving them.

What kind of Tribulation Transcendence, powerful figure is this?

What top-tier power treats the Azure Cloud Sect with such courtesy?

And then there were the representatives from various factions who were very generous!

In any case, news of the reception quickly spread throughout the entire Azure Cloud Sect.

Many disciples who hadn't gone before out of fear were now filled with regret.

He was extremely envious of the things his fellow apprentices were carrying when they returned.

Cui Yan and the other three were also somewhat confused for a while.

They even began to doubt the true purpose of these people from the sects.

Judging from the messages coming from his disciples, at least these people don't seem to have any ill intentions.

And almost all the messages from the disciples brought up the same question.

When would be a convenient time to visit the Azure Cloud Sect?

Look at the word used here, it's like a visit!

How could we be so polite when the enemy comes knocking?

Feeling that the crisis was over, Cui Yan immediately sent a message instructing his disciples to bring the guests from various sects up the mountain before noon the next day.

Then we'll know the real reason these sects came.

After the disciples informed the guests of the time, they did not disturb them further.

That night, not only the Azure Cloud Sect, but also the guests from other sects all suffered from insomnia.

This led to the situation where, when the disciples went to lead the guests from various sects the next day, they found that these guests were already well-prepared and just waiting to go up the mountain.

The numerous disciples were also led in batches according to their status among the various sects in the Southern Frontier.

The first to head up the mountain were naturally the top forces in Southern Frontier.

The thought of the upcoming arrival of representatives from top powers left Cui Yan, who was standing in front of the main hall preparing to receive them, somewhat at a loss.

After all, in the past, a power of this caliber probably wouldn't even have bothered to glance at the Azure Cloud Sect.

But when Cui Yan met these representatives, he was completely dumbfounded.

A dozen or so representatives from top powers actually knelt down the moment they saw Cui Yan.
