Tianxuan Mountain, Inner Courtyard.

At this moment, all the Inner Sect Disciples and Core Disciples who were still at Tianxuan Mountain had gathered in the central square of the Inner Courtyard, buzzing with activity, clustering in groups of threes and twos, conversing in hushed tones.

Many disciples who had been out on experience or missions had also rushed back, eager to find out what major event had transpired at Tianxuan Mountain.

Han Li was among them, positioned in the middle of the crowd, not wishing to stand out and reveal his presence.

Around him were two or three acquaintances, friends he had made on Tianxuan Mountain in the past. Although they had advanced to the Pihai Realm before him, they were not as highly cultivated as he was, their cultivation only at the third or fourth tier of the Pihai Realm.

Han Li chatted casually with his three friends, the conversation also revolving around the happenings at Tianxuan Mountain. Everyone was curious, wondering what matter was important enough for Tianxuan Mountain to make such a grand move.

Soon after, a figure descended from the sky, landing on the high platform at the front of the square, standing with hands clasped behind his back, looking down at the people below.

“Silence!”

With a shout from Qiu Shuilin, a formidable aura burst forth, instantly enveloping everyone present, bringing all the disciples to silence, their attention fully focused on Qiu Shuilin.

A trace of satisfaction flickered in Qiu Shuilin’s eyes, then he spoke solemnly, “I won’t beat around the bush, I’ve called you back for an important matter.”

“Several years ago, the White Lotus Cult caused chaos in Huozhou, poisoning countless lives. Although they were annihilated, remnants fled and have been lurking in the lands of Qingzhou and Huozhou, with elusive whereabouts, thwarting complete eradication.”

Upon hearing the words “White Lotus Cult” , Han Li’s brows furrowed slightly and he quietly slipped to the back of the crowd.

As he had conjectured, this grand action of Tianxuan Mountain was related to Prince Wu’an. It wasn’t in Tianxuan Mountain’s nature to confront the White Lotus Cult without reason, nor would they be able to.

With the No-Life Mother being a Grandmaster Wanxiang, all of Tianxuan Mountain combined wouldn’t be a match, and he certainly did not wish to go to his death in vain.

It doesn’t matter, I will… back off!

“To utterly destroy the White Lotus Cult, the Daqian Empire has dispatched Prince Wu’an to guard Sanzhou. He has already mobilized troops and will soon launch the final strike against the No-Life Mother,” Qiu Shuilin continued.

“Should the No-Life Mother by chance escape, no matter which state she flees to, her whereabouts must be swiftly determined. You are to return and mobilize your family’s forces to track her down as much as possible. Once discovered, report immediately.”

The square immediately erupted into commotion, buzzing with discussions as the many disciples showed a range of expressions on their faces.

So this was to deal with the White Lotus Cult, no wonder the Sect mobilized to such an extent.

With Prince Wu’an, the Daqian war god on the scene, the No-Life Mother’s days are likely numbered.

If Prince Wu’an makes a move, even if the No-Life Mother is lucky enough to escape, she’ll surely be gravely injured. Could one then capitalize on the opportunity?

“Brother Han, should we…’

Where Han Li had been standing, a junior Brother Tu spoke excitedly, but before he could finish, he noticed something amiss and exclaimed in surprise, “Eh? Where’s Brother Han?”

The other two were slightly taken aback. Hadn’t Brother Han just been right beside them? When had he disappeared?

The disappearance of Han Li didn’t seem of much concern to the three, who continued their conversation, intending to inform him after the gathering dispersed.

From behind the crowd, Han Li silently watched the scene unfold, pondering Elder Qiu’s words, and came to a conclusion in his mind.

Tianxuan Mountain was planning to put on an act without exerting itself.

The speech was grandiose, sending everyone to track down the No-Life Mother should she by chance escape, clearly intending to mobilize these disciples’ family powers behind them.

The disciples of Tianxuan Mountain came from families across all the counties of Leizhou, and if roused, they would indeed form a considerable force. Coupled with other Sects which would surely execute similar orders, tracking down the No-Life Mother wouldn’t be difficult.

The No-Life Mother was an exceedingly dangerous person; tracking her down came with great risks, and carelessness could result in annihilation. Without substantial rewards, who would put in the effort?

After the disciples mobilize their family forces and put much effort into finding the No-Life Mother’s whereabouts, enduring great losses or even facing annihilation, yet without compensation, no one would be willing to take on that task.

Tianxuan Mountain’s decision exactly matched Han Li’s thoughts. Even if Tianxuan Mountain demanded a full investigation, Han Li would slack off; it was impossible for him to truly pursue the matter.

Capable of cultivating in the Pihai and Gang Yuan Realms, the disciples of Tianxuan Mountain were very astute. Initially, they felt excited, but they soon calmed down, savored the hints in Qiu Shuilin’s words, and understood what to do.

If by chance the Deathless Mother escaped to Leizhou, then naturally they would pursue the investigation, but without exerting effort, just going through the motions would suffice. Of course, if they were truly lucky enough to encounter her, they would certainly have to report it.

On another front, Tianxuan Peak.

Tianxuan Peak is the main peak of the Tianxuan Mountain Range, where the Sect Leader, his relatives, and his disciples reside. The Sect’s grand hall and other important buildings also stand tall on this peak.

Atop the peak, two figures stood firmly, overlooking the entire Tianxuan Mountain. One of them was the Sect Leader, Gongsun Yun, and the other was his daughter, Gongsun Yue.

Gongsun Yun was silent for a long time before finally speaking, “Yue’er, go to the Dao Domain.”

“I won’t go.”

Gongsun Yue refused without a second thought.

Gongsun Yun looked at his daughter and said in a deep voice, “Don’t be obstinate. You know you must go.”

“It’s too far,” Gongsun Yue said, still refusing while maintaining eye contact with him.

“The Daqian Empire is about to become a nexus of gathering storms, and amidst the swirling undercurrents, our Tianxuan Mountain is but a small boat, at any moment it could capsize and sink to the bottom of the sea without stirring a single wave.”

Gongsun Yun did not attempt to persuade her further but said with a bitter expression on his face.

Standing high allows for a more distant view, just like at this moment, he could overlook Tianxuan Mountain. As Tianxuan Mountain’s Sect Leader and a Hollow Realm Master, he keenly perceived the constantly changing situation.

In this tempest, Tianxuan Mountain’s strength was too weak to protect itself. Leaving aside Tianxuan Mountain, even the Daqian Empire with Emperor Wu of the True Martial Realm as its defender, could not dare to guarantee its own survival.

As the head of Tianxuan Mountain, he knew many secrets, such as the fact that the Founding Master of Tianxuan Mountain actually came from the Dao Domain and was a disciple of the Tai Xuan Sect there.

The Dao Domain also had eight major powers: Bai Yujing, Sky Sect, Earth Sect, Human Sect, Tai Xuan Sect, True Martial Sect, Chun Yang Palace, and Dragon Tiger Mountain.

Unlike the Xuan Domain, the Dao Domain is unified under the entire Dao Sect, with Bai Yujing as the orthodox and ancestral home of the Dao Sect.

The other seven Dao sects are nominally subordinate to Bai Yujing, but in reality, they are branches that separated from Bai Yujing, evolved over the vicissitudes of time.

The Tai Xuan Sect is very strong, even stronger than the Daqian Empire, and has high requirements for accepting disciples.

Watching his daughter’s figure descend the mountain, Gongsun Yun’s voice echoed in her ear, “Yue’er, think it over carefully once more.”

In any case, he wanted his daughter to leave this vortex as soon as possible; she would be safe once in the Dao Domain.

Gongsun Yue paused for a moment, then disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Gongsun Yun withdrew his gaze and spread his Spiritual Sense over the entire Tianxuan Mountain Range.

The nascent Spiritual Sense of the God Refining Realm could cover a hundred li at its early stage, a thousand li at its peak, and upon reaching the Hollow Void Stage, the Spiritual Sense would significantly enhance, easily covering ten thousand li, reaching its peak, it could cover an area of fifty thousand li.

With the situation changing daily, Gongsun Yun would scout the Sect every day to prevent any unexpected incidents.

As Gongsun Yun’s Spiritual Sense swept over the inner courtyard’s plaza, it coincided with witnessing Han Li frowning and stepping back, and he even perceived Han Li’s true cultivation level.
