Chapter 1609: Chapter 190: Gathering the Wise to Plot Against Bi Yu Sect

Blood Essence Sect, atop Hui Xian Platform, three elder of duty gathered in conversation, each appeared grave.

They have come here on urgent business to seek Baili Qingyin, yet after waiting for more than an hour, they have yet to be summoned inside.

An elder surnamed Yu, growing impatient, stepped towards the nearby deacon Daoist boy and said, "Please go and inform again."

The Daoist boy hurriedly said, "I dare not, master is entertaining a guest, True Master please do not make it difficult for the little boy."

Elder Yu frowned and asked, "Who is inside exactly? Why has it been so long?"

The Daoist boy repeatedly bowed, only claiming ignorance.

Elder Yu was left with no choice but to return.

After another moment, the cave door opened, the spirits of the three were invigorated, they lifted their heads to see a distinguished white-clothed Daoist emerge from within.

This person held a Green Jade Flute, his eyebrows reaching his temples, wearing a High Mountain Crown, his steps were commanding, when he reached the outside, he placed his hands behind his back, chin slightly raised, said, "Senior Brother Baili is now in seclusion, I shall make decisions regarding all matters within the gate."

He pointed at an old Daoist, saying, "Li Xiu, you speak first."

Li Xiu smiled, stepped forward and bowed, saying, "So Junior Feng has returned, no wonder Senior Brother Baili has no time to see us, was the trip to Nether Spring Sect smooth?"

Feng Daoist waved his hand, coldly saying, "Let us reminisce later, speak of business first."

His rudeness made Li Xiu somewhat embarrassed, he coughed lightly, chose his words carefully, then said, "In the past month, sects throughout the Northern lands have been active, they lay Dharma Platforms in places with spiritual mechanisms, set up forbidden arrays, and excavate waterways, seeming to have grand plans."

Feng Daoist raised an eyebrow, he glanced at the other elders, saying, "Are you all here for this?"

The elder surnamed Yu stepped forward, speaking deeply, "Indeed, I believe that this action is under Zhang Yan’s instruction, considering the goal seems to be investigating the Earth Vein Spirit Mechanism’s pathways, perhaps trying to find the gathering place of that Spirit Cave!"

Feng Daoist sneered, "Ridiculous, the Earth Vein Spirit Mechanism’s pathways are convoluted with no traceable pattern, how can the Spirit Cave be located by mere Dharma Platforms?"

Elder Yu solemnly replied, "Junior Feng, do not underestimate this matter, within this month, these small sects have constructed no fewer than twenty Dharma Platforms. Though few now, what of a year, ten years, twenty years, or thirty years? If not restrained, it will be highly disadvantageous to us."

Another elder stood in agreement and said, "Senior Brother Yu is correct, our sect is situated at the Northern Boundary, closest to the Mingcang Sect. If a Demon Cave appears in the North, with these Dharma Platforms present, they might detect the Spirit Cave’s location and we would lose the advantage."

Feng Daoist raised an eyebrow, saying, "Even so, it’s merely twenty Dharma Platforms, and you can’t handle it?" As he spoke, he glanced at the three with a sweep, coldly asking, "What’s the cause?"

Li Xiu hesitated briefly, then said, "These Dharma Platforms are mostly built beside rivers, lakes, and streams. We previously sent disciples to stop them but every river has Water Clan Great Demons lurking, every attempt was either blocked or warned early allowing them to prepare..."

Feng Daoist teased, "Beiming Demon Cultivators, wouldn’t it be the Yu Yuan Tribe?"

Li Xiu said vaguely, "Which tribe it is, still needs confirmation."

Feng Daoist scoffed, "If I recall correctly, attracting Beiming Demon Cultivators was your plan, Senior Brother Li, and now not only did it fail, but it also brought trouble back needing the Mountain Gate to clean up after you, how do you explain this?"

Li Xiu was criticized to his face, his expression turned somewhat unpleasant.

Elder Yu hurriedly smoothed things over, saying, "Junior Feng, now is not the time to pursue blame, we must discuss a strategy."

Feng Daoist said indifferently, "What do you all propose we do right now?"

Elder Yu earnestly said, "Only relying on Hua Dan disciples is inadequate, we must send Nascent Soul Realm elders from the sect to break this encirclement."

Feng Daoist coldly responded, "Have you considered, if this is Zhang Yan’s plot, it won’t be that simple."

Elder Yu seriously replied, "I’ve considered, Zhang Yan aims to force us into direct confrontation, weakening our Spirit Sect’s strength, but this open plan leaves us no choice, we must accept it regardless."

Feng Daoist looked over, saying, "Elder Yu, have you thought that guarding Dharma Platforms requires manpower, Zhang Yan uses those small sects for himself, how many disciples can they have, how many Dharma Platforms can they set up? As Elder Li mentioned, not ten years, they would reach their limit in three to five years."
