Chapter 60: Yi Garden Arrives (Part 2)

  Master Fahuo of the Bodhi Academy said, "Now that we know the ins and outs of the matter, we should immediately come up with a corresponding countermeasure to deal with this disaster. Since this matter is of great importance and not just a matter for any one faction, our six academies must work together in unity and do our best to prevent the situation from deteriorating further. Let's discuss it quickly now and see how to respond to this first."

  Xuan Yu Zhenren said in a deep voice, "This matter originated within the boundaries of our Yi Garden. Naturally, we will do our best to deal with it, but due to its severity, we hope everyone will also lend their full support. Time is pressing now, so let's discuss how to suppress that exit and who should be sent to the Ghost Domain to search for the Soul Seal. If anyone has any good suggestions, please speak up."

  Lu Yun looked at everyone with a thoughtful gaze and said, "This time, the appearance of such a thing has a point that we need to consider seriously. That is why the powerful people in the demon domain want to seize the soul symbol. According to legend, the ghost domain and the demon domain should not have any connection, their cultivation methods and ways of life are different, so why did the powerful people in the demon domain steal the soul symbol this time? Is there some unknown conspiracy behind this?"

  Looking at Lu Yun, Xuan Yu Zhenren asked: "Lu Yun, if you have anything to say, just speak directly. We can all analyze it together. This matter is of great importance, and we must be cautious and careful to prevent unexpected events."

  After a moment of contemplation, Lu Yun's expression turned serious as he said: "I think that this time, the expert from the demon domain stole the Soul Seal only for one purpose - to destroy it in the ghost domain. This way, the demons from the demon domain can use this as an excuse to ask the ghosts from the ghost domain to help them destroy the seal that is blocking the exit of the demon domain. Similarly, it's highly likely that the magic domain also participated in this action. In order to enter the human world, they may join forces and try to break through the seal first, then each rely on their own abilities to divide up the entire human world. This time, we must focus on the ghost domain, but we also need to strengthen our defenses against the demon domain and magic domain, lest we face the severe consequences of all three domains appearing in the human world at the same time."

  With a look of surprise, Feng Huang Zhu Yu opened his mouth and said: "What Lu Yun said has some possibility. Since the soul seal symbol has no effect on the strong men in the demon domain, it is possible that the divine artifact that seals the demon domain and the magic domain also has no effect on the ghost fairy with a soul body. In that case, we must seriously consider this matter."

  "The exit of the Ghost Domain is near Fendu in Western Shu, and has always been guarded by Yi Garden. The exits of the Demon Domain and the Yao Domain have always been guarded by Bodhi College and Dao Garden. Now that something has happened in the Ghost Domain, to prevent similar incidents from happening in the Demon Domain and the Yao Domain, I think Bodhi College and Dao Garden should not get involved in this matter of the Ghost Domain. It would be better for our four colleges to join forces to resolve it together. What do you all think?" Li Changchun said, looking at everyone.

  Xuan Yu Zhen Ren nodded after a moment of contemplation, "Li Zhang Jiao's words are reasonable. Although the Demon Realm and the Yao Realm have not made any moves yet, I recall that Ye Hun from the Black Lotus had mentioned before that the three realms' demons, ghosts, and monsters have already begun to enter the mortal world. To be cautious, I think we should follow Li Zhang Jiao's suggestion. What do you think, Master and Zhen Ren?"

  He nodded slightly, and the Seventh Xuan True Person said solemnly: "This matter is of great importance, so I don't want to say much. In order to be cautious, our two courts will not participate in this matter, which also has a very significant meaning. Now, let's talk about your four courts, who will go to Yi Garden? After discussion, you can set off early."

  After some thought, Haoyun said: "This time I plan to go in person, and bring Bi Tian and Du Li with me. If the situation changes later, we can add more people."

  It's said that Haoyun will go in person, Yu Wushuang thought for a moment and looked at Xuan Yu Zhenren: "This time because the matter is not ordinary, so I also plan to visit Yi Garden. As for the people who follow, let Cangyue and Xu Jie accompany me when the time comes, what does Xuan Yu think?"

  "Thank you, Jade Palm Master, for your strong support. I represent the entire sect in welcoming everyone." After finishing speaking, Xuan Yu's gaze stopped on Yu Wu Shuang's beautiful face for a moment before moving to Li Chang Chun's face.

  Li Changchun fell into thought for a moment, seeing that the other two had spoken up, and could only say in a soft voice: "As for this time's selection, I've given it some careful consideration. Due to many unexpected events occurring during this Martial Arts Conference, I won't be attending personally. I plan on having my junior brother Liu Xinghun lead Wucheng and Leng Jiaohao there together. Can the Head of the Mystic Jade Sect agree with that?"

  He glanced at Liu Xinghun, and although the True Man of Xuanyu was somewhat unwilling in his heart, he calmly said: "Thank you for your great help. This time, there are too many things to deal with on Taixuan Mountain, and Li Zhangjiao can send three powerful people to go, which is already very supportive. I would like to thank Xuanyu first. Now that the personnel have been selected, let's prepare to set off immediately, what do you all think?" After finishing speaking, his gaze swept over everyone present.

  Since everyone had no objection, Xuan Yu Zhen Ren said: "Alright, let's meet here again in half a time. We will depart on time and head to Fengdu. Now, everyone can go back and make arrangements first, we'll see each other later." After finishing speaking, he led his followers to hastily leave the Tianxuandong.

  Half an hour later, Xuan Yu Zhenren brought all the people under his door, packed up their things, and waited on time at the entrance of Tianxuandong. Soon, Yu Wushuang arrived with Cangyue and Xu Jie, Hao Yunju brought Bi Tian and Du Li, Liu Xinghun brought Jian Wucheng and Leng Jiahao to the cave entrance.

  Seeing that everyone had arrived, Xuan Yu Zhenren's expression turned solemn as he said, "Now that everyone is here, let us set off immediately." After finishing speaking, he accompanied Yu Wu Shuang, Hao Yun Ju Shi, and Liu Xing Hun to turn around and head down the mountain.

  On this side, Lu Yun swept a glance at Jian Wucheng's pale face and revealed a hint of vigilance in his eyes. Although it was only a glance, the hatred in Jian Wucheng's eyes made Lu Yun's heart more vigilant. This time's trip to Fengdu, the journey to the Ghost Domain, what would happen between him and Jian Wucheng? Was it fate or destiny?

  He shifted his gaze to look at Ao Xue and Cang Yue, who were whispering to each other. A hint of a strange expression appeared in Lu Yun's eyes. Perhaps on the next trip, something unexpected would happen, but what could it be? At this moment, even Lu Yun was unclear.

  A gentle breeze, a line of people leaving. Laughter and sighs, all inadvertently drifting away with the wind. The journey to Taixuan Mountain ended in such a hurry, but what's next? What will happen in Lu Yun's life? What kind of ending will that imperfect life have?
