491 Establishing an Alliance

In the large hall, the sea of blood was extremely thick and the nauseating smell of blood filled every corner of the hall, causing everyone’s expression to change.

“This is…”

Zhan Wushuang’s eyes were wide open, and his voice was filled with bewilderment.

“This is something I encountered by chance after leaving Lanjiang city. It’s located in an unremarkable mountain village in the desolate north. An entire village of people was slaughtered, and these… It’s their blood!”

Gu Xi waved his hand again, and the light screen changed again. Five figures covered in blood-red robes appeared in everyone’s sight, “The people who can do such a tragic thing… I don’t think I need to say more, right?”

The entire meeting hall was silent.

Everyone’s eyes were fixed on the few figures on the light screen. Although it was only an image, it made everyone present feel a sense of fear.

Cold, bloody, brutal, and many other negative emotions came from the blood-red figure.

“This is… The outer realm demonic race…”

After an unknown period of time, a faint voice rang out from the crowd.

A short sentence pulled everyone back to reality.

“That’s right. They’ve secretly infiltrated the Eastern Continent a long time ago. Now that we’ve discovered their true identities, they have no choice but to start their plan in advance. As for the blood of our human race… It’s the tool they use to set up their spirit arrays.”

Gu Xi’s expression was solemn as he slowly swept her gaze across everyone present. He continued in a deep voice, “Their plan is very clear now. They are going to set up a teleportation array to connect with the demonic race’s lair. Then, they will continue to send the demonic race to invade our Eastern Continent until the Eastern Continent falls into their hands.”

“The image I’m showing you is only one of the many hidden teleportation arrays. I’m sure there are more hidden teleportation circles in every corner of the Eastern Continent!”

“The day when all the teleportation arrays are ready will be the day of disaster for the human race. It will be the day of life and death for the Eastern Continent!”

“Based on their current progress, I believe that day is not far away. It might be tomorrow or even today! In order to deal with this catastrophe, the only thing we can do is abandon the estrangement and grudges between us, join hands to form an Alliance, and resist the invasion of the demonic race together. Only then can we find a chance of survival!”

Gu Xi’s voice was calm, but every word he said was like thunder in everyone’s ears, deeply shocking everyone.

The hall once again fell into a deathly silence.

“There’s no benefit to us in forming an Alliance. However, this is the last chance for the Eastern Continent. If this matter continues to drag on, it’ll only be a matter of time before the outer realm demonic race descends in the future,” Yun Zhiyi said indifferently.

At this moment, Song Qingluan suddenly stood up and looked at the crowd with red eyes. She choked and said, “Everyone, my family has died in the hands of the demonic race, and no one in the entire mansion has been spared except for me. If you don’t want to end up like me one day, perhaps the best result would be for everyone to join forces.”

After saying that, Song Qingluan turned around and left the hall. Gu Xi quickly gestured to Little Nine, and she immediately understood and quickly followed Song Qingluan.

“I’m willing!” As the two of them left, Zhan Wushuang suddenly spoke loudly. He stared straight at Gu Xi and continued with a serious expression, “Although we had conflicts before, in this life and death situation of the Eastern Continent, my Zhan Clan is willing to cast aside our hatred and form an Alliance!”

“Good, as expected of the Zhan Clan’s Master. What spirit!” Gu Xi grinned and gave Zhan Wushuang a big thumbs-up.

“My Qiankun Sect is also willing to join the Alliance!”

“My Ancient Sect will also join!”

“The Heavenly Secret Sect is willing to protect the Eastern Continent with all our might!”

“And my Flowing Cloud Palace!”

“The Golden Blade Sect will join!”

…

With Zhan Wushuang taking the lead, loud voices rang out in the hall one after another. When they thought of what the outer realm demonic race had done, everyone could not help but feel indignant.

“Since the Alliance has already been established, the position of the Alliance Leader…” After everyone had made their decision, Zhan Wushuang asked with a dry smile.

Hearing this, Gu Xi smiled and turned her eyes to Yun Zhiyi, who was standing at the side, and said, “The position of the Alliance Leader will naturally be taken up by the most experienced and powerful person. I believe that no one has any objections to Elder Yun taking this position.”

Hearing this, everyone nodded in agreement. After all, Elder Yun was an Emperor-to-be, and as the most powerful person, he was indeed qualified to do so.

Elder Yun did not refuse. He stood up, nodded, and said in a deep voice, “Since no one has any objections, this old man will temporarily take on the position of Alliance Leader. It will not be too late to change it in the future if there is a more suitable candidate.”

“Then may I ask Alliance Leader, now that the Alliance has been formed, what should we do next?” a middle-aged man stood up and asked with a worried expression.

Elder Yun pondered for a moment and said with a serious expression, “Now that the outer realm demonic race has secretly set up a teleportation array in the Eastern Continent, the only thing we can do now is to find out where they are hiding and destroy all the teleportation arrays they have set up. Although we don’t know if this can stop their invasion, at least it can buy us some time so that we can be more prepared to deal with their arrival.”

“Time is of the essence, so we have to make arrangements as soon as possible. From now on, this place will be the Alliance headquarters. After you leave, send all the disciples to search the area and try to find and destroy the teleportation arrays. Each sect will be equipped with a jade pendant for communication, so that they can send a message in time if they encounter the extraterritorial race so that they can go to help.”

“This is all we can do now. As for how long we can delay, it will depend on everyone’s performance. I will also try my best to contact the people of the other three continents and ask them to send as many cultivators as possible to support us.”

As Elder Yun’s voice fell, everyone present stood up and said their goodbyes. Soon after, they all left in a hurry and returned to their own sects.

They knew that they must win this battle!

Before the outer realm demonic race descended, their only opponent was time!
