"Yeah." All of the Sect Leaders's eyes lit up. In the entire Divine Origin Realm, there was nothing that could be hidden from the investigation of the Underworld Sect. It was best if they were entrusted with this task.
"But ? the Underworld Sect has always been very expensive. Who would be willing to pay the entrustment fee?" The Southern Sword Sect's Sect Leader asked.
If a sect in the Divine Origin Realm were to encounter an extremely difficult situation, they would normally not be willing to look for the Underworld Sect. Now that the Southern Sword Sect's Sect Leader had mentioned it, all the Sect Leaders looked at each other and tried to force each other out, but none of them were willing to pay this entrustment fee.
"What's the point of being stingy when you become a big shot?" Zhang Yifan said, "It doesn't matter what kind of price the Underworld Sect wants. We have so many sects and schools gathering together is more than enough."
"Alright, this Penniless Priest agrees." The hollow valley was the first to express its stance, and following that, the other sects' Sect Leaders also saw this and no longer objected.
Lei Ao saw this scene. Although he really wanted to make a profit for the Underworld Sect, he thought about it and decided not to bother with it. After all, the Underworld Sect was a sect founded by the Sky Race.
Therefore, he said, "There's no need to go through so much trouble. I'm the one who proposed this, so of course I'll pay the entrustment fee. After all these years of wandering the Divine Origin Realm, I've also accumulated some good things.
Lei Ao didn't explain his relationship with the Underworld Sect. In front of all the Sect Leaders, he took out a communication bead and sent a message to Liu Yun.
"This is a little troublesome ?" After listening to what had happened, Liu Yun said with difficulty, "After all, I was not present at the scene, so I didn't know what that disciple looked like. Furthermore, the Divine Origin Realm is not small, and it wouldn't be easy to blindly find him.
He paused, then continued, "Since the dark clans colluded with the sects of the Divine Origin Realm, then there must be dark clans in these sects. The dark clans must have found out about what happened to you, and after they found out, they would use force to deal with you, and then force you to attack the Piao Gui Mountain. Even if the Underworld Sect found that Morning Sun Sect disciple, they wouldn't be able to make it in time."
"Even if you didn't say it, I wouldn't have thought of that. Wait a moment." Lei Ao was shocked. He turned around and said to the group of Sect Leaders, "I believe everyone has heard. If the Dark Group were to launch an attack now, although we have a large number of people, it would be impossible for us to fight against fifty Earth Stage powerhouses."
Zhang Yifan's face sank and asked, "Then, what does little brother mean?"
"The only way is for you to organize your own disciples to form your own defensive lines. At the same time, take good care of this old man and all of the disciples of the Chao Yang Sect. Don't let them attack while the situation is chaotic." As for me, I am bringing Qing Ling up the mountain, hoping to convince the Sky Clan warriors to take action. Right now, only they can deal with the Dark Clan. "
"Then this matter should not be delayed. Little brother, hurry up and make your move." The Emptiness Realm Expert said.
Then, just as Lei Ao was about to ask Old Wolf to imprison Sect Leader Chao Yang, the old man shouted loudly, "What are you guys planning to do? You treat me like this without any proof, and in the future, when I am free, you will not stop until you are dead. "
"Sect Leader Chao Yang, if you find out what happened afterwards, and if you are innocent, then I will personally come to the Chao Yang Sect to ask for your forgiveness. Please feel wronged for now."
Zhang Yifan swept the old man with his cold eyes, his attacks were so fast that only a few peak Earth Stage powerhouses could barely see his thirty-six acupoints. The rest of the people could only faintly feel the hand shadows.
Sword Pool Valley is indeed extraordinary ?
The forces of the first-rate sects were about the same, but this time, Zhang Yifan's strength had obviously exceeded the expectations of the other Sect Leaders, and they all recognized the trace of fear on their faces. In the entire arena, perhaps only the Divine Martial Sect Master who specialized in martial arts could fight against him.
Lei Ao didn't care about how strong the others were, as long as he didn't harm the Three Realms Six Paths and help the Dark Clan kill his compatriots.
Lei Ao asked the Sect Leaders to set up a defensive line, and left behind the help of Ancestor Ming as he led Qing Ling and Old Wolf up the mountain.
The floating peak was so high that the clouds tens of thousands of feet above could not reach its peak. Along the way, there were many invisible restrictions. Qing Ling was once a Heaven Clan member, so she was very familiar with these restrictions.
With her leading, Lei Ao effortlessly made his way through, and soon reached the halfway point of the mountain.
A few thatched cottages appeared in front of them. Qing Ling stopped and said, "This is the clan's first line of defense. Wait here. I'll go over first."
Lei Ao nodded and found a place to sit.
Although it was a cordon line, there was no one inside the thatched cottage. The door was wide open and there was nothing inside other than a bed.
Outside the door was a stone table and two stone chairs. On the stone table, there was a chessboard carved in a crisscrossing pattern. There were dozens of pieces scattered on the chessboard, all of them black and white.
Green Spirit first went to the left side of the stone chair, picked up the three white stones and pushed them along the line of chess to a certain position. Then she sat down on the right side of the chair and picked up the three black stones, placing them in the same order.
She thought it was a meaningless action. After Qing Ling left the stone chair, the thatched cottage's door closed with a "creak". The stone chair on the stone table suddenly collapsed, revealing a dark hole.
Old Wolf, who was not far away, mumbled, "Since when did the Sky Clan learn to use such a mechanism?"
Lei Ao disapproved and said, "The Heaven Clan is no longer the same. If we don't learn any skills from other sects, it will be very easy for our clan to be exterminated. Doing this is not wrong."
The cave entrance appeared. Just as Lei Ao and Old Wolf were about to enter, they saw that the green spirit had not entered the cave, but instead came back.
Not long after, a figure emerged from the hole. He was clad in heavy armor and held a long spear in his hand. He had a face full of caution as he jumped out of the hole.
When his gaze landed on the Green Spirit, he was stunned for a moment before asking, "Who activated the mechanism?"
Qing Ling took a step forward and said, "It's me, the 17th generation disciple Qing Ling. She has urgent matters to attend to and wants to see the elder."
"Qing Ling? You are the daughter of the old patriarch? " The man was shocked. He asked with doubt, "Didn't you follow the old patriarch to the tunnel to fight a war thousands of years ago?"
Qing Ling was a little anxious, "That's right, because something big happened at the last minute, father sent me back to discuss it with the elder."
"These two are ?" The man turned his gaze to Lei Ao and Old Wolf.
Qing Ling said, "He is Lei Ao, descendant of the Battle Tribe. This is the Chaotic Spirit Beast, the Howling Firmament Wolf. With their help, I will be able to safely arrive here. I want to bring them to see the elders."
"This ?" After hesitating for a while, he said, "Young master Qing Ling, it's not that I don't believe you, but you know the rules of the clan. This little one's job is, I really can't let you go."
"I will speak with the elders about this matter." Qing Ling frowned and said, "Moreover, this is a very important matter. Fifty Earth Realm warriors are at the bottom of the Floating Peak. "At a time like this, what are the rules?"
"Dark Group? Isn't it one of those sects in the Divine Origin Realm? " The Sky Race man was shocked. He received the information that they had found, the surrounding sects and factions were all in the Divine Origin Realm, the elders had already arranged everything, borrowing the floating peaks to prepare for a long time, but they did not receive any news about the Dark Tribe.
"There are some things that you can't ask, are you going to let them go or not?" Qing Ling was slightly angry as she glared at him in dissatisfaction.
The man replied, "This little one is indeed in a difficult position. How about this? This little one will first go and report this to the elders. The elders will decide whether to let me pass or not."
"You rigid fellow." Qing Ling scolded loudly, "Since ancient times, my clan's Holy Maiden had married the War Emperor. The Battle Tribe and my clan were originally allies, so why can't we make an exception? And at such an important moment? "
"Forget about Qingling." At this time, Lei Ao stepped out and said, "There's not much time left. You can go in and report to your tribesmen. I will follow Sirius to the foot of the mountain to provide support."
"This ?" Qing Ling said apologetically, "I'm really sorry. This is the only thing we can do now. Qing Ling will not disappoint us."
After that, Qing Ling and the man from the Sky Race entered the underground cave. This was the safe path to the top of the mountain.
Lei Ao glanced at the side of the mountain road and curiously asked, "Strange, where does that road lead to?"
Old Wolf squinted and said, "That road is a dead end. Although it can also lead to the top of the mountain, ten steps is not enough for a Heaven Stage expert to pass."
"Let's go down. I wonder if Qingling will be able to convince their clansmen." Lei Ao suddenly felt a bit depressed, as if things wouldn't go too smoothly.
On the mountainside, the group of Sect Leaders had long finished their arrangements and placed many obstacles in the narrow areas. The weaker disciples were all sent back, leaving behind only Martial Saint experts.
However, if he wanted to deal with fifty Earth Stage Dark Clans, that alone wouldn't be enough. Lei Ao had retreated from the mountain, and after seeing this situation, he was even more worried.
"Little brother, I wonder how things are going?" Zhang Yifan stepped forward and asked.
"I am not a member of the Heaven's Clan, so it is not convenient for me to go up. However, Qing Ling will try her best to convince her tribe members that we can only stick to it until she returns."
Lei Ao turned around and said to Old Wolf, "It's up to you. Take out the most powerful formation."
"If you say so, then go ahead. That requires a high level array foundation." The old wolf rolled his eyes and said, "I don't even have anything other than a pack of wolves, what are you going to use to set up a formation?"
"What high level array base do you want?" Is an Aurora Dao weapon okay? " Lei Ao took out the six legendary weapons without any hesitation. The Sect Leader of the original sect was here, and his face twitched when he saw them. He simply turned his face away and pretended that he couldn't see them.
It was impossible to steal it back, especially at such a sensitive time. Furthermore, he might not be able to win it back. It seemed like he would have to use the Spiritual Roots to exchange for it.
Old Wolf glanced at it and said, "Divine weapons are the main offense, so the killing array is the best foundation. However, six of them are obviously not enough."
"How many?" Lei Ao frowned.
"You need at least seven of them, but you can set them up into a Seven Ascension Formation. You still need one Formation Aperture Magic Treasure to replace it with your Blood Blade. On the other hand, the Nine Extreme Heaven Returning Formation requires ten Divine Weapons. "
"The Nine Extreme Soul Formation is your strongest formation?" Lei Ao wondered if he should rob some Divine Weapons from the other sect leaders.
"Of course not, my most adept formation is the one hundred and eight Formless Heaven Formation. If I use a Divine Vein Saint Weapon, it will be the most powerful, and ?"
"Stop, pretend I didn't ask." Lei Ao quickly called for them to stop and turned around to face the door. "You all heard it, ten Divine Weapons are needed to set up the Nine Extreme Primordial Formation. I have six of them, and my Divine Vein Saint Weapon can replace the eye of the formation, but we're still missing three."
Even though it was a first-rate sect, how many of them could it be?
Zhang Yifan saw the reluctant look on everyone's faces and sighed. He called for his senior disciple to hand over the divine weapon and left one for himself. After all, as the leader of the sect, he was also at the peak of Earth Stage.
Seeing that the others were still unmoved, Zhang Yifan suddenly said angrily, "Everyone, the retreat road down the mountain has already been blocked by the Dark Group. We are not working together yet, are we really going to destroy the entire sect?"
These words caused the Sect Leader's body to tremble. Previously, when Lei Ao went up the mountain, more than half of these Sect Leaders were not willing to fight with the Dark Group and wanted to take advantage of the Dark Clan's invasion to leave.
However, they didn't expect that just after they had left the foot of the mountain for less than half a mile, they were already met with the powerful attacks of the Dark Group.
Now, the Dark clan knew that their internal affairs had been exposed. Not only were they unable to use the sects of the Divine Origin Realm to force their way into the Misty Peak, but they also had to unite the enemy to fight against them.
Of course, most of this was due to Lei Ao. Coupled with the two peak Earth Stage powerhouses, the Hollow Gorge and the Divine Martial Sect Leader, at the same time exposed the ugly face of Sect Leader Chao Yang.
However, Zhang Yifan was probably the only one who could be counted as someone of importance in the Three Realms Six Paths. The rest of the people were scheming in their hearts, because they did not want to fight with the Dark Clans and also did not want their own sect's strength to be damaged.
Now, the Dark Group was no longer hiding their presence and had appeared at the foot of the mountain in a swagger. Fifty Earth Stage experts made everyone feel extremely oppressed, but for some reason, they did not attack the mountain.
Lei Ao saw that Zhang Yifan was the only one to respond to his attack, he immediately roared and said, "A group of selfish vile men, can you guys block the Dark Group's attack? You can preserve the divine weapons in your hands? "Even now, you're still thinking about your little gain? Fine, I'll let you guys fight the dark race yourselves."
And then he continued, "From now on, each of you fight on your own. I naturally have the means to leave. "If you guys really have guts, go and fight against the dark race yourself. You can beg for mercy if you're afraid of death, and maybe you can save your own life."
Lei Ao had the space array diagram while the Dark Group was far away at the foot of the mountain. No one could stop him from leaving, and with the Fire Ape Spear as well as the Void Valley standing on his side, even if all the sect leaders worked together to lay down the enchantment, it would still be easily broken.
Moreover, from Zhang Yifan's attitude just now, he had already made it clear that the Sword Pool Valley was in their side. Among all the sects, three of the strongest peak Earth Stage martial artists were on Lei Ao's side, and the remaining people simply couldn't bring themselves to fight back.
