Chapter 615: Act Upon Hearing the News
The fact that the fiend would be released by himself was something Xiao Ming likely would not say out loud.
By having the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace gather reinforcements, it would not only help to slightly deter the fiend's advance, but it would also let the Dimension Fetus know that the local strong practitioners couldn't be relied upon to end the crisis and would have to obediently appear before him.
Of course, it was difficult to rely solely on the East Xuan Region Alliance to contact enough powerhouses, given their strength and the lack of Reincarnation Stage practitioners.
Therefore, Xiao Ming waved his hand and summoned a ray of light before the Palace Master.
Understanding his intention, she opened it curiously. Immediately, an intense fragrance of medicine filled her nostrils. Even the bottleneck that had trapped her for many years seemed to loosen a bit!
"Senior, is this for me?" The Palace Master was overjoyed.
"It is for you. This pill is called the Reincarnation Pill. It was created by me in the past two years. It can help someone break through to the Reincarnation Stage within half a month. It's up to you when to take it. Consider it a small benefit for doing this errand."
The Palace Master was delighted. She bowed deeply in gratitude without any hint of refusal.
"Thank you, Senior. I will immediately notify the various sects in the East Xuan Region and arrange for the gathering of the powerhouses."
After saying this and bowing once more, she left with Ling Qingzhu.
"This woman's attitude has changed quite quickly."
Lin Dong couldn't help but feel somewhat speechless when he saw the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace become so proactive after receiving the pill. Of course, he understood that even without any benefits, the Palace Master would still have gone to gather the powerhouses. It's just that such a pill was indeed too astonishing.
Lin Dong's muttering caught the attention of Xiao Ming, who was somewhat surprised.
"Why are you still here?"
Lin Dong's face darkened upon hearing this. He muttered in his heart, 'Uncle Xiao, if you don't let me go, how do I dare to leave? Who knows if that beloved disciple of yours will freeze me again? Being frozen for three days during your breakthrough might kill me!'
These thoughts, however, remained in his heart as he managed to put on a somewhat ingratiating smile on his face.
"Heh, heh, heh... it's been a long time since we've seen each other, so I thought I'd spend some more time with Uncle Xiao."
Xiao Ming could tell Lin Dong's words were not sincere and feigned a frown, "Want to spend more time with me? Don't tell me... you're swinging the other way?! Looks like I'll have to talk to Qing Tan and your parents. Your family line can't end with you."
"Ah?! No...!"
The moment these words were uttered, Lin Dong was completely dumbfounded and hurriedly tried to explain, but Mu Lingshan's astonished exclamation cut him off.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com
"No wonder you were so resistant to Ling Qingzhu before and didn't take advantage of her. Aha, so you've got a preference for the same team!"
Even Ying Huanhuan looked at him with some suspicion.
"Hm! I'll do as you say, Master," Ying Huanhuan readily agreed with a nod and a warm smile, her expression now resembling a bright blooming flower. She deeply cherished her Master's care.
As headstrong as she could be at times, she also understood that her Master was the one who had allowed her to be herself over the years, even granting her selfish wish to block her memories of the Ice Master.
Awakening as the Ice Master had been her destiny, something that could not be changed, nor could the weighty responsibility of saving the world.
Only her Master had been able to change that destiny.
She often played the zither for her Master. Besides him, the only other people she had played the zither for were her big sister and her father. Clearly, her fondness for her Master was profound.
What exactly was her Master's grand plan? She didn't know that much, she only knew the role she would play in it. As for the rest, she never bothered to ask him. After all, she had put all her faith and trust in him.
...
In the time that followed, everything went exactly as Xiao Ming had planned.
The Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace relayed his message to all the factions within the East Xuan Region Alliance. With Ying Huanhuan stepping forward to confirm the message, it immediately garnered serious attention.
Subsequently, the East Xuan Alliance immediately dispatched Samsara Stage elders to tear through space and head to the Four Xuan Regions, the Chaotic Demon Sea, and the various overlord tribes in the Demon Region.
Ying Huanhuan followed his instructions and used the Ice Master's Reincarnation power to communicate with the other Ancient Masters.
Mu Lingshan, this Little Grand Aunt, finally returned to the Immortal Sage Whale Clan. Her return brought a moment of joy to the clan, but the news she brought dampened their spirits.
The Immortal Sage Whale Clan was well aware of the Yimo's fearsome reputation. They quickly sought an alliance with other Sea Demon clans and notified the human factions within the Chaotic Demon Sea. Consequently, a significant portion of the Chaotic Demon Sea's top fighting force was mobilized and headed towards the Great Desert in the West Xuan Region.
However, there was no such large-scale mobilization in the Demon Region.
Only the Dragon Tribe, the Heavenly Demonic Marten Tribe, and their affiliated factions dispatched some strong practitioners.
The Heavenly Demonic Marten Tribe was still cautious after the recent incident with the Eternal Illusion Demon Flower and did not send many of their strong practitioners.
The large gathering of strong practitioners naturally attracted the attention of the Yimo organization lurking in the shadows, known as the Devil Prison.
...
In a realm of darkness where endless evil was slowly flowing, one could vaguely discern some shadows flickering within this darkness.
"Everyone is aware of the recent events, right?"
A hoarse voice emerged from the darkness and slowly spread out.
"Are you referring to those strong practitioners who suddenly converged on the West Xuan Region?" Another sinister voice replied.
"The reason has been determined..."
