At dawn, at the headquarters of the Tian Yun Sect.
Chu Sheng followed Nameless through the long corridor, the sound of their footsteps echoing in the empty hall like an ancient clarinet solo. The fierce battle from last night lingered vividly in his mind—the eerie glow of the Demon God Pearl and the menacing faces of the Heishan sect members were etched deeply in his memory. Yet, he felt an unusual calm within, like the surface of the sea after a storm, with only faint ripples remaining. The Merit Book on his chest vibrated gently, like a restless heart, seemingly foretelling an important decision that was about to come.
The council hall was ancient and solemn, with sandalwood smoke drifting through the air like silk, creating a solemn atmosphere. Tian Yun Sect Elder Wu Ji and the Saintess Ling Er had been waiting for some time. Wu Ji, dressed in a blue robe, sat upright in a grand chair, his expression steady as if he were an ancient statue. Ling Er stood beside him in white attire, exuding an ethereal grace, resembling a blooming snow lotus.
"Chu Sheng, it’s great to see you unharmed!" Wu Ji rose to greet him, his deep voice tinged with relief. "If it weren't for Shang Ye sect's timely intervention last night, the consequences would have been unimaginable!"
Chu Sheng nodded slightly, his tone calm. "Thank you for your concern, Elder."
"Let’s skip the formalities." Wang Wang strode into the hall with purpose, followed by several core members of Shang Ye sect, each radiating an aura that warned others to keep their distance. "The situation is urgent; we should get straight to business." His gruff voice shattered the tranquility of the hall like a bomb.
The atmosphere grew tense instantly, charged with an undercurrent of conflict. Wu Ji frowned, clearly displeased by Wang Wang's rudeness. Ling Er remained composed but a flicker of subtle vigilance flashed in her eyes, akin to an elegant cheetah poised to strike.
Nameless raised a hand gently to signal Wang Wang to calm down. His gaze swept over everyone present as he spoke in a steady yet authoritative tone: "The actions of Heishan sect are becoming increasingly audacious; they even dared to use the Demon God Pearl within our school this time—utterly lawless! If we do not unite against them, the consequences could be catastrophic; we might end up losing everything."
"Hmph," Wang Wang scoffed derisively, his tone dripping with disdain. "Tian Yun Sect only believes in that so-called Zheng Shen and turns a blind eye to the threat posed by Evil God. Now you’re scared? It’s too late!"
"Enough!" Chu Sheng suddenly interjected. His voice was not loud but struck everyone like a heavy hammer on their hearts. All eyes turned toward him as if he were the spotlight on stage.
"This is not the time for infighting," Chu Sheng declared firmly, his gaze unwavering and voice steady. " Heishan sect and Evil God are our common enemies. Last night's battle has proven that their power far exceeds our expectations. If we continue to blame each other here, we will only give our enemies an opportunity; by then, it will be too late for regrets!"
A hint of approval flashed in Nameless's eyes as he nodded gently. "Brother Chu Sheng is right."
"Wu Ji sighed, a trace of helplessness in his tone. "I admit that the Tian Yun Sect is indeed somewhat blind in its faith towards Zheng Shen. But the most pressing matter now is how to deal with the threat posed by Heishan sect."
Wang Wang snorted coldly, though somewhat unconvinced, he no longer pressed the issue. He took out a piece of intelligence from his pocket, his tone grave. "According to our investigation, Heishan sect has already established bases across the country. They are not only collecting Demon God Pearls but are also secretly planning a large-scale operation that is likely to make headlines."
"What kind of operation?" Ling Er asked anxiously.
"The specific details are still under investigation," Wang Wang shook his head. "But it is certain that this is related to the arrival of the Evil God, and things are probably more complicated than we imagine."
Chu Sheng felt a chill run down his spine, a cold shiver shooting from his feet to the top of his head. The Merit Book in his chest suddenly vibrated violently, as if confirming this terrifying speculation.
"So," Nameless scanned the crowd with a firm tone, "I propose we establish a temporary alliance. Shang Ye sect will be responsible for intelligence gathering and analysis, Tian Yun Sect will provide cultivation resources and venue support, and Chu Sheng..." He cast a meaningful glance at Chu Sheng, "your unique abilities will be key to this alliance."
Chu Sheng's heart stirred. Could it be that Nameless has seen the existence of the Merit Book? This old fellow truly has some insight!
"I agree with this proposal," Wu Ji said solemnly. "In order to combat evil, Tian Yun Sect is willing to set aside its prejudices and cooperate with Shang Ye sect. But I have one condition—you must respect our beliefs."
"Agreed," Nameless nodded. "As long as it doesn't interfere with the actions of the alliance, everything else can be negotiated."
"Then..." Chu Sheng looked around at everyone, "what should we do next?"
"There has been unusual fluctuations in a secret realm recently," Wang Wang unfolded a map and pointed to a marked location. "We suspect that important clues may be hidden there; we need to check it out quickly."
"Tomorrow we will set out to explore," Nameless decisively announced. "Chu Sheng, you will go with Lin Yue. Each of the Tian Yun Sect and Shang Ye sect will send three elite members along. The more people we have, the stronger we will be, and it will also provide some support."
By the time the meeting concluded, the morning light had spread across the land, golden rays streaming through the windows and illuminating the entire conference hall. As Chu Sheng stepped out of the hall, he gazed at the rising sun, yet felt no sense of relief. He understood that this tripartite discussion was merely a beginning; a greater storm was brewing, and the real challenges lay ahead.
The Merit Book at his chest pulsed gently, as if reminding him of the trials he was about to face. Chu Sheng took a deep breath, his gaze resolute.
No matter what lay ahead, he had to grow stronger. Not just to survive, but to protect this world and those around him.
In the distance, a shadow quietly slipped away, vanishing into the morning light like a ghost, leaving no trace behind. The curtain on their secret realm exploration was about to rise...
