Stop it, Taoist, Your Fight almost Ruins the DAO!

In the heart of He State in the East Continent, a towering Divine Mountain pierced the sky angrily, shrouded in steaming clouds and resplendent mist, as majestic Immortal Cranes circled around it, their pleasing cries echoing melodically.

At this moment, at the pinnacle of the Divine Mountain, within the Golden Summit Great Hall, the mood was grim and solemn.

Inside the Great Hall, two factions were divided on each side, with nine chairs on both sides. Leading the group on the left was a Taoist from Qian, a man with a pale face and no beard, remarkably handsome, but his eyes emitted a sense of vicissitudes of time, unmistakably the current Sect Leader of Heavenly Star Sect, Zhan Xingzi.

The right side was occupied by a youthful-looking old man with white hair, the expression on his face equally solemn. He was none other than the Sect Leader of Moon Concealing Sect, one of the two holy lands of the East Continent, Huan Guzi.

"Everyone has arrived. My fellow cultivators, you must have seen the intelligence by now. The Ghost Worship Sect and the True Blood Sect have gone mad. Despite our overt and covert efforts, the invasion forces of the Ghost Worship Sect and True Blood Sect have been dealt a heavy blow in our East Continent,"

"However, I had never anticipated that something would provoke the Ghost Worship Sect and True Blood Sect into such insanity. This matter is of great importance. Our Heavenly Star Sect dares not monopolize this decision. Fellow Taoists of the Moon Concealing Sect, let us discuss this matter together."

Zhan Xingzi's brows were tightly knitted, and he glanced apologetically at Huan Guzi before addressing everyone in the hall.

He had anticipated all possibilities, but never expected the Ghost Worship Sect and True Blood Sect to take such a reckless step. Now, upon detecting unusual movements over the Red Sea, he hurriedly gathered the cultivators of the Moon Concealing Sect for urgent talks.

Today, anyone who has a seat in this Great Hall, regardless of gender or age, possesses an extraordinary aura, a high-ranking person who has proved themselves on the Immortal Platform.

Those who have not reached the Immortal Platform have no right to participate in today's meeting.

The names of the Heavenly Star Eight Immortals and the Moon Concealing Eight Immortals resound throughout the world, wielding enormous influence over many powers of the East Continent. It can be said that today's decisions within this Great Hall will determine the direction of the East Continent's destiny.

For such a significant issue, even Zhan Xingzi, the number one cultivator of the East Continent, does not dare to act rashly and has instead gathered the cultivators of the Moon Concealing Sect to jointly devise a strategy.

All cultivators picked up the Jade Scrolls from the Golden Plate, their Divine Sense probing into it. When they saw the swarming formations of the Ghost Worship Sect and True Blood Sect cultivators on the Red Sea, even those who had cultivated for many years and had seen countless storms, couldn't help but their expressions suddenly shift.

Although they had received news of the joint invasion by the Ghost Worship Sect and True Blood Sect before their arrival, they had never imagined that the battle situation would evolve to such a grave extent.

"They've gone mad, truly mad. The Ghost Worship Sect and the True Blood Sect act so blatantly, utterly disregarding our two sects, how audacious!"

"Thousands of years ago, it was always our ancestors who fought against the Red Sea and the Western Lands, with the Ghost Worship Sect and True Blood Sect taking a defensive stance. While our descendants have been undeserving, we have managed to hold our ground, not losing a single inch.

"However, the more we tolerate, the more rampant the Ghost Worship Sect and True Blood Sect become. When those bastards encroached on the lands of Qian Country, I proposed to the Sect Master that we should chop off their overreaching claws. Yet, my proposal was rejected by the Sect Master.

"Now that the enemy is acting so wildly, we can no longer forbear. Sect Master, Senior Zhan Xingzi, in my opinion, this time we should rise up in full force, be willing to fight, and only by fighting can we stop the war!"

"Otherwise, how could we face our ancestors and "

Before Zhan Xingzi could finish, the first person below the chief seat of the Moon Concealing Sect, a bearded cultivator leaning on a crutch, suddenly stood up and loudly proposed a plan, his words filled with a fierce and unyielding iron-blooded intent, such that the sounds of warhorses and armor seemed to echo faintly within the Great Hall.

"Who would have thought, after not seeing Iron Crutch Zhang for hundreds of years, your cultivation has advanced so astonishingly swiftly that such a phenomenon could be stirred even within this Golden Hall. You must be close to breaking through to the Immortal Platform Ninth Layer Realm by now."

Hearing the unusual sound, seated fifth among the Heavenly Star Sect, a female cultivator holding an exotic lotus lamp with a smile emanating from her eyes stood up and said,

"Zhang Fellow Taoist, please calm your anger. Even if we fight, we need to discuss how we shall fight, to what extent we shall fight, whether to completely break off and engage in unrestrained combat across all realms or to retain some restraint. Aren't these matters still up for discussion?"

"Of course, my opinion is the same as Zhang Fellow Taoist's. Since the True Blood Sect and Ghost Worship Sect have come so aggressively, then let us join forces and fight them."

"Junior Sister makes sense. Sect Leader, let us have a battle with them. I also want to see how the old friends from the Ghost Worship Sect have progressed over the years, to dare to come knocking on our door. Could it be that they deem my Li Yan's Flying Sword to be ineffectual?"

With the sound of a clear sword cry, the first person under the heavenly seat of the Heavenly Star Sect, a handsome middle-aged Taoist man with a Flying Sword, spoke out.

Embedded upon his Sword Artifact were many peculiar Crystal Stones, totaling one hundred and eight, arranged in a mystical formation that matched the cycle of the heavens, aligned with the stars above and versed in the terrestrial below, as a strange energy surged in and out around the Taoist's body.

"Roaming Six Void Sword Intent, Li Yan Fellow Taoist truly is a Sword Dao prodigy, destined for Dao Fruit in the future. Zhan Xingzi, you are fortunate indeed."

Huan Guzi glanced at the phenomenon surrounding the middle-aged Taoist with surprise, showing a hint of admiration in her eyes.

In her view, among the Heavenly Star Eight Immortals and the Moon Concealing Eight Immortals, the one most likely to break through the boundaries of the Immortal Platform and condense a Dao Fruit was undoubtedly Li Yan. The Heavenly Star Sect truly was the focus of the Ancient Star Realm's Fortune Qi, blessed with such a brilliant talent, while her own Moon Concealing Sect was now a tad behind.
