BXBX NOVEL Chapter 102: All Ten Sect Masters Are Here, Perfect!_i
The hall was filled with a heavy atmosphere, the elders looked at each other, sensing the seriousness of the situation amidst their confusion.
Since they couldn’t use the Message Jade Slip, they had no choice but to make the trip in person.
They were all familiar with the strongholds of the various major sects, even though they were scattered across different cities, it wouldn’t take much time.
But for the Tenth Elder and his people, it was a headache—tracking down over a thousand disciples who had gone shopping was not going to be easy!
After the departure of the seventeen elders, Mu Xingzhi’s grave expression didn’t ease at all as he mobilized his cultivation technique to absorb the medicinal power, “1 must recover as quickly as possible!”
Just then, several Loose Immortals swept into the hall, lead by Bai Tieyi.
Bai Tieyi looked at the pale-faced Mu Xingzhi, frowning as he said, “What happened here? All the elders are in a rush, and you look like this.”
A Seven Tribulations Loose Immortal expressed his doubts, “Sect Leader, did you suffer a backlash from using the Heaven Secret Technique?”
“Predecessors, let me recover first!”
Mu Xingzhi spoke with some difficulty, then closed his eyes and continued to refine the pill.
The Loose Immortals looked at each other, all understanding that Mu Xingzhi’s current condition was caused by a backlash from casting the Heaven Secret Technique.
Trying to peer into the secrets of heaven with the Heaven Secret Technique, could it ever be easy?
“All the elders are in action, and whatever it is, the Sect Leader must have arranged everything properly. 1’11 stay behind to protect the Sect Leader. Predecessors, please remain vigilant,” Bai Tieyi said.
They didn’t know what had happened, but the current situation naturally required heightened vigilance.
The Loose Immortals nodded and departed, leaving only Bai Tieyi and Mu Xingzhi in the hall.
Bai Tieyi glanced at the cross-legged, eyes-closed Mu Xingzhi, then casually took a seat to wait.
Mu Xingzhi’s True Yuan surged around him, continuously refining the medicinal power, yet his mind was pondering strategies.
Earlier, he had a premonition and cast the Heaven Secret Technique to spy into the secrets of heaven, only to discover that the secrets of this region had been obscured by someone!
Mu Xingzhi strained to break through the obscuration and finally caught a glimpse of just the tip of the iceberg—a scene of rivers of blood!
But after only a moment’s view, he was repelled by the force of the obscuration and pulled out of the spying state.
That obscuring power, the moment he broke through it, bore a familiar aura to him!
It was the Heaven Secret Immortal Scroll!
A full four hours passed before Mu Xingzhi awoke, his eyes flashing with a fierce light that quickly returned to calm, “Uncle Tieyi, thank you for your time!”
Bai Tieyi gave a slight nod, “What’s going on?”
Mu Xingzhi stood up, “Uncle Tieyi, could you accompany me outside the city?”
Bai Tieyi found it strange but still nodded.
The Heaven Secret Courtyard was buzzing with activity; most of the disciples had already returned, excitedly sharing what they had seen in the city or their own finds.
Mu Xingzhi and Bai Tieyi left the hall, just as they ran into Seventeenth Elder Shu Youlu, who was about to enter. With a puzzled expression, he hurriedly approached, “Sect Leader, Uncle Tieyi, what in the world happened?”
Mu Xingzhi replied, “The secrets of heaven must not be revealed. You wait here. After the guests from the various sects arrive, please have them wait.”
Without waiting for Shu Youlu to ask further, Mu Xingzhi and Bai Tieyi had already soared into the sky and left.
After flying a thousand li out from Li City, Mu Xingzhi finally stopped, took out a Message Jade Slip, entered some information into it, and sent it off.
Bai Tieyi watched the scene with puzzlement, “Your Sect Leader lineage is always so secretive.”
Sensing that the message was successfully transmitted, Mu Xingzhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and smiled, “Uncle Tieyi, are you trying to say that our lineage is always nervously secretive?”
Without confirming or denying, Bai Tieyi shrugged his shoulders, just about to continue questioning when Mu Xingzhi preempted, “Let’s go, back we go.”
Bai Tieyi was stunned, “We came all this way just to send a message? Wouldn’t it be the same to send it from anywhere?”
Mu Xingzhi did not respond to him and hurried back to Li City at the fastest speed.
Bai Tieyi followed with a speechless expression.
Night fell, and the elders returned one after another. The Sect Masters from the Taoist Mysterious Sect, Artifact Sect, Sword Sect, and so on, also arrived.
In the hall, there was an inevitable round of pleasantries.
After a while, the Sect Masters of the ten major sects finally gathered!
“Sect Leader Mu, it’s rare for all the Sect Masters to be present. What about your Eighteenth Elder from the Heavenly Mechanism Sect? Why not introduce us?”
The speaker was the Sect Master of the Ten Thousand Talisman Sect, Fu You.
“Yes, Sect Leader Mu,” Jian Nantian, the Sect Master of Sword Sect, laughed. “To tell the truth, if it wasn’t for the chance to meet your esteemed Sect’s Eighteenth Elder, most of the people here would probably be reluctant to come!”
“My colleagues, Sect Leader Mu must have gathered us here for something important. Please be patient and stay calm,” said Xuan Yifeng, the Sect Master of the Taoist Mysterious Sect.
He knew that Li Cheng, the Eighteenth Elder, was still inside the Universe Mystery Tower at this moment.
These days, even as the Sect Master of the Taoist Mysterious Sect, he had not had the opportunity to meet Li Cheng yet!
Mu Xingzhi gave Xuan Yifeng a slight nod before saying, “There are some things 1 cannot say directly, only hint at.”
Upon hearing this, everyone realized that Mu Xingzhi must have divined the heavenly secrets.
The Heavenly Mechanism Sect was most famous for divining heavenly secrets, wasn’t it?
But since heavenly secrets must not be revealed, and Mu Xingzhi said it was inconvenient to speak directly, there was no doubt that something had happened, which was why he had gathered everyone.
Moreover, the method of summoning was personal invitations by the various Elders, not by sending messages.
For a moment, a bad feeling rose in the hearts of everyone present.
Seeing the grave expressions on everyone’s faces, Mu Xingzhi added, “Perhaps some of you have guessed it, so 1 have gathered you to ask for your assistance. We need to evacuate the Cultivators from the Eight Cities in the name of the ten major sects!”
“Impossible!” Zhuo Bu’er, the Sect Master of the Artifact Sect, stood up. “If we do that, where will our ten major sects’ prestige be?”
Mu Xingzhi glanced at Zhuo Bu’er, “Does your Artifact Sect still have any prestige left?”
Zhuo Bu’er was at a loss for words. After Li Cheng had caused mayhem in the Artifact Sect last time, resulting in a thousand-year treaty being signed, the Artifact Sect had lost all face.
“Sect Leader Mu, what exactly did you see? Without you saying anything, how can we cooperate?” Fu You asked.
“We understand that heavenly secrets must not be disclosed, but there are countless Cultivators in the Eight Cities. How can we say to evacuate just like that? Could you at least give us a hint?” Yue Shuang from Bliss Palace also said.
Everyone had a premonition that the call to evacuate the Eight Cities must be due to an impending disaster looming over them!
In fact, Mu Xingzhi had already given them an obvious hint.
But they wanted to know more.
Mu Xingzhi pondered, “Isn’t my hint clear enough? Fine, we evacuate before dawn, and the Hundred Sect Conference will be postponed. How about that?”
Xuan Yifeng furrowed his brows tightly. The moment Mu Xingzhi mentioned evacuating the Eight Cities, he understood the seriousness of the situation.
Hearing Mu Xingzhi suggest postponing the event solidified his fears that the Eight Cities might be in grave danger!
Zhuo Bu’er scoffed, “Really? After all, what your Heavenly Mechanism Sect’s Heaven Secret Technique has seen is yet to happen, and it may not necessarily come to pass. Now that we are all forewarned, I believe it will not occur!”
“Don’t you believe it? Why don’t you divine the heavenly secrets again now?” Zhuo Bu’er added.
Xuan Yifeng waved his hand, as if he had made up his mind, and slowly stood up. “The Eight Cities are under my Taoist Mysterious Sect’s control. This matter…”
“Heh heh… All the ten major Sect Masters are here. Perfect!”
Suddenly, a low and cold sneer resounded..
