Chapter 206: Chapter 158: Guarding the Blood Sea_3
Translator: 549690339
There must be some earth-shaking secret hidden within this, Han Yi thought in his heart.
However, no matter what the secret was, he had no interest in it.
Now that the crisis that had been looming over the Xuandan Sect for so many years had been lifted, Han Yi was finally able to calm down and quietly focus on his cultivation, and spend time improving his skills.
That was what he wanted the most.
The mist silently parted, and everyone landed and entered Xuandan Hall. There was no Supreme Elder in the front hall, so they all headed forward.
This wasn’t Han Yi’s first time in the Xuandan Hall. When Yuan Shun had previously invited him to attend the Mountain and Sea Gathering of Immortals, he had met him in Xuandan Hall. However, at that time, Han Yi was only a Qi Cultivating Cultivator at the ninth level and had entered a side hall after passing through the front hall.
But this time, he held the position of an elder. After passing through the front hall, he went straight to the back hall, which was the elder’s chamber and was reserved for all the sect elders.
Whenever major matters concerning the sect occurred, an elder’s conference would be held here to decide on important matters.
After entering the chamber, Shen Ping took a seat at the front, while Gu Yu sat closer to the back and Han Yi sat with Gu Yu.
A moment later, the other Inner Peak elders arrived one after the other and took their seats. Han Yi observed that Foundation Establishment late stage cultivators sat closer to the front, Foundation Establishment middle stage cultivators sat in the middle, and Foundation Establishment early stage cultivators sat toward the back.
The seating arrangement was also an indicator of their strength.
A moment later.
The leaders of all the eight Inner Peaks, as well as the numerous Outer Peaks arrived.
Although Gu Yu had previously mentioned that only forty-seven Foundation Establishment stage cultivators had survived, upon seeing all the cultivators present, Han Yi’s heart still sank slightly.
Many familiar faces he had met before were not present here, which implied the obvious.
After that.
A few figures walked into the chamber from outside.
In addition to Yuan Shun, this group included the few remaining Supreme Elders of the sect.
Zhuge Wu You, Qin Wuxian and Huo Ming.
Qin Wuxian was injured but only suffered minor wounds and was in no serious condition.
Everyone took their seats, and Yuan Shun spoke.
“Elder Si Hong has sustained severe injuries and is not suitable to leave his seclusion. Apart from him, all the Foundation Establishment cultivators of Xuandan Sect are here.”
Yuan Shun was referring to Si Hongxue, the only female Supreme Elder.
Before this, Si Hongxue had suffered a serious injury while being attacked by Golden Core cultivators from Heavenly Soul Sect and Blood God Sect and had returned to the sect while fleeing.
Now, hearing the severity of her injuries from Yuan Shun’s mouth, it seemed that her condition must be far beyond what everyone had guessed. Her injuries were only slightly lighter than those suffered by Mu Jianxu back when he had committed self-impalement.
“There are two main items on the agenda for today’s elder conference.”
“First, regarding the reconstruction of the sect, please suggest strategies.”
“Second, we’ll need everyone’s assistance with the follow-up matters concerning the Blood God Sect.”
As soon as his words ended.
Qin Wuxian was the first to speak, “The sect has lost many Supreme Elders and Foundation Establishment cultivators. The cultivation resources allocated to them need to be redistributed.”
“The primary purpose of allocating cultivation resources is to ensure that you all can acquire more resources, accelerate your cultivation speed, and take full advantage of any breakthroughs in reaching the Golden Core stage.”
“In addition, the sect is preparing to open its treasure vault once again to distribute Foundation Establishment Pills to Qi Cultivating cultivators based on their Earth Ranking in a short period, in order to produce more Foundation Establishment stage cultivators for the sect.”
“Of course, the issue of how to strike a proper balance needs your input and advice.”
Han Yi understood the situation in his heart.
The Xuandan Sect still had a sense of crisis, they could not afford to be completely at ease after repelling the Blood God Sect and Heavenly Soul Sect this time. In the Cultivation World, only when one was strong in all aspects could they form a positive cycle.
Han Yi naturally strongly supported the sect’s idea.
He looked at Qin Wuxian, his heart moved. Before this, Han Yi always thought that there must be a high-level expert within the sect, able to continuously create many policies. Could that expert be Qin Wuxian?
He didn’t have much contact with this elder; the only time was when he received the inheritance of the Ninefold Soul Tower.
And the inheritance of the Ninefold Soul Tower gave him a First-Class Immortal Foundation, and even allowed Yuan Shun to glimpse a chance for forming the Nascent Soul. In the end, it saved the Xuandan Sect.
The cause and effect in this were thought-provoking.
In the discussion hall, after Qin Wuxian took the lead, more cultivators started to offer ideas and suggestions, their enthusiasm soaring.
Sitting in the last row, Han Yi didn’t want to get involved, because he knew that he couldn’t manage the sect from a managerial role. He had a clear understanding of himself.
A moment later.
Everyone settled on the basic tone for the rebuilding policy, which was straightforwardly called “Rebuilding Policy”. It had nine points, involving inner and outer peaks, Foundation Establishment, Golden Core cultivators, and encompassing wealth, relationships, law, and land.
The first topic was completed, and Yuan Shun continued, “Next, it’s the second topic for today.”
At this point, Yuan Shun paused unusually, and everyone in the discussion hall looked at him, knowing that something important must be happening for him to pause.
However, Yuan Shun did not directly talk about the Blood God Sect’s affairs, but instead, mentioned yesterday’s events.
“Before discussing the follow-up matters of the Blood God Sect, I need to inform you all of something.”
Yuan Shun’s face was filled with seriousness and helplessness.
“Yesterday, I chased down the invaders, all the way to Zhenbei City. Outside Immortal City, I killed the Deputy Sect Master of the Blood God Sect.”
“After that, the Duke of Zhenbei appeared in Immortal City. He asked me about the details of yesterday’s battle with his divine consciousness.”
“I told him truthfully. He was silent for a moment before telling me something.”
“According to the requirements of Daqian Immortal Country, the Blood God Sect is responsible for guarding the Blood Sea. This is the Blood God Sect’s duty, as stipulated by Daqian. Even if the Blood God Sect wants to move away, it’s impossible without the permission of the Daqian Emperor.”
“If another sect destroys the Blood God Sect, then that sect needs to take over the responsibility of guarding the Blood Sea.”
At this point, Yuan Shun’s tone was somewhat helpless.
The other Supreme Elders’ expressions didn’t change, as they knew about this beforehand.
However, the Foundation Establishment Stage Cultivators sitting below were already dumbfounded.
Sitting in the last row, Han Yi’s heart trembled, and a sudden sense of foreboding emerged.
“That’s right, Blood God Sect Master Jiang Yichuan died in the Xuandan Sect, and all their Golden Core cultivators perished. The Foundation Establishment cultivators who could escape were few, and this sect is essentially dead in name.”
“If there are no accidents, the Blood God Sect at the edge of the Blood Sea would have been chaotic since yesterday. The cultivators there should have scattered and fled by now,”
“There are many demonic beings in the Blood Sea. If left unattended for a long time, it’s easy to cause a catastrophe. The Xuandan Sect urgently needs to send people to guard it.”
Yuan Shun added a few more words. Yesterday, when he returned, Han Yi saw that something was wrong with him, and this was the reason.
“But, but the Blood God Sect attacked the Xuandan Sect first, and it must be destroyed. How could defending the Blood Sea be related?”
“Daqian is getting too involved in this.”
The one who spoke was an elder in the Foundation Building late stage from Zhu Rong Peak, named Li Wenbin. His eyes were filled with suppressed anger, clearly a hot-tempered person.
Yuan Shun shook his head.
“This matter has been announced to me by the Duke of Zhenbei, and there is no room for negotiation.”
“Our Xuandan Sect, whether we like it or not, must take responsibility.”
“Just now, our first topic of discussion was that the sect urgently needs more Foundation Establishment cultivators to emerge, and that’s because they are needed for the second topic.”
“The Blood Sea cannot wait, and neither can we..”
