Li Yunjing engaged in a fierce mental battle with the banner spirit of the Netherworld Blood River Flag, eventually defeating Yu Mozi by using the Celestial Thunder Emperor Seal. Realizing the formidable power and cunning of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, the group decided to cut their losses at the Demon Control Sect and return to Shenxiao Island to report their findings.

Li Yunjing exchanged a glance with the Peak Master Alchemy Tripod, and both of them flew towards the "Shenxiao Battleship".

Along the way, the four people remained silent, vigilantly observing their surroundings.

Li Yunjing gazed down at the vast ocean below, his mind filled with countless thoughts.

This time coming to the East Sea, it seems things aren’t going smoothly.

Perhaps it won’t be as smooth as the first time the "East Sea Alliance" was formed.

As Li Yunjing and the others were returning to "Shenxiao Island", a thousand miles away, Yu Mozi suddenly spat out a mouthful of fresh blood, his face turning ashen.

"Sect Leader, what’s wrong?"

The two Supreme Elders beside him were taken aback, quickly asking.

Yu Mozi wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, his withered fingers deeply pressing into his palm, beads of blood seeping from his nails dripping onto the deck.

"Li Yunjing..."

He gritted his teeth as he uttered the name, hatred almost materializing in his eyes, "Daring to destroy my strand of Spiritual Sense, if this enmity is not avenged, I swear I won’t be called human!"

"Sect Leader, calm down!"

The Supreme Elder Xuan Yinzi hurriedly offered a blood-colored pill, "First take this ’Blood Essence Life Extension Pill’ to stabilize your injury. That ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ is powerful; we need to plan strategically."

Yu Mozi swept the pill away with a wave of his hand, causing it to crash against the stone wall and explode, the splattered blood mist forming a hideous ghost face in the air.

"Plan strategically? My ’Nether Blood River Banner’ was destroyed, and the place of inheritance has collapsed. If we delay any longer, the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’ will uproot us completely!"

He suddenly turned his head, looking at the Supreme Elder Chi Yan to his right, "Chi Yan, how is your relationship with the Blood Asura of the Blood Saber Sect?"

"We once participated in the ’Ten Thousand Demons Conference’ together and have met a few times."

Chi Yan hesitated for a moment, then said cautiously, "However, Blood Asura is known to repay every slight; if we want him to act..."

"I certainly won’t let him work for free."

Yu Mozi raised his hand and summoned a jade box, within which lay half a token engraved with runes, "This is a fragment of the ’Netherworld Order’. Collecting three pieces can open the secret realm of the Nether Bloodsea, where ancient Demon Lord’s legacy is hidden."

Pain flashed in his eyes, swiftly replaced by hatred, "Give him this fragment and promise him that after the matter is done, we will divide the resources of the East Sea equally."

"Sect Leader, ’Blood Saber Sect’ is ambitious, I fear it will be easy to invite God but hard to send away."

Xuan Yinzi furrowed his brow, "Moreover, the ’Netherworld Order’ is of immense importance..."

"At this point, do we care about such matters?"

Yu Mozi suddenly coughed violently, the blood froth he spat out even contained strands of black flesh, "Send someone to contact the ’Corpse Demon Sect’ and ’Yin Luo Sect’, telling them I’m willing to offer the ’Three Yin Soul Gathering Array’ diagram as a reward, inviting them to join forces against the ’Shenxiao Dao Sect’!"

Chi Yan and Xuan Yinzi exchanged worried glances but, seeing the murderous look in Yu Mozi’s eyes, they dared not speak more, bowing and taking their leave.

After they left the "Skull Ship", Yu Mozi staggered to the depths of the secret chamber, where a pitch-black coffin hovered, inside of which rested a young corpse bearing a seven-fold resemblance to him.

"Dear brother, back then, to preserve your flesh body, I exhausted most of my cultivation. Now..."

He caressed the coffin, a hint of madness flickered in his eyes, "It’s your turn to lend me your strength."

He bit his fingertip, letting drops of blood fall onto the coffin, the corpse’s skin inside turning blood-colored at a rate visible to the naked eye...

Apart from the maneuvers of the Demonic Dao, the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" issued invitations for the coalition conference, and forces across the East Sea began responding and sending representatives to "Shenxiao Island" to discuss important matters.

The "Shenxiao Battleship" broke through the clouds, slowly descending onto the gigantic dock of Shenxiao Island.

As soon as Li Yunjing and the others disembarked, they felt the intense gazes from all directions.

On the island, waves of spiritual power fluctuated, rising and falling like an undercurrent, announcing the gathering of strong forces from all over the East Sea.

"More people came to this conference than expected."

Master Lei Ze furrowed his brow slightly, thunder light around him flickered unconsciously, as if on alert for something.

He looked at the distant figures of strong men, either standing or roaming, a faint unease rising in his heart.

The Peak Master Alchemy Tripod stroked the Nine-Orifice Pill Furnace, speaking in a deep voice, "The forces of the East Sea have always both revered and feared the Shenxiao Dao Sect. This conference will surely not be without open and hidden conflicts."

Li Yunjing also noticed the unusual atmosphere around him.

The gazes on them were filled with curiosity, speculation, and even greed.

At this moment, a disciple of the "Shenxiao Dao Sect" in white robes walked briskly towards them, respectfully saluting, "Honored Elders, Vice Sect Leader, Five Elements Master requests your presence in the Council Hall to discuss important matters."

The four exchanged a glance and proceeded to the Council Hall.

Along the way, other forces’ strong individuals constantly observed them, whispering among themselves.

Within the Council Hall, Five Elements Master maintained a calm demeanor.

Below, representatives of various forces from the East Sea either sat or stood, the atmosphere somewhat oppressive.

"You’ve finally returned."

His gaze swept over the four of them, nodding slightly, "How was the situation at ’Ghostfiend Hall’ and ’Demon Control Sect’?"

Upon hearing Five Elements Master’s words, high-level Golden Core Realm and Nascent Soul Realm cultivators from the East Sea turned their eyes toward the newly arrived four.

Everyone pricked their ears, extremely curious as to why the people of "Shenxiao Dao Sect" went to "Ghostfiend Hall" and "Demon Control Sect."

Could it be that this alliance has also invited Demonic Cultivators?

Unlikely, right?

"Shenxiao Dao Sect" has always claimed to be the leader of the Righteous Dao. If they collaborate with the Demonic Dao, wouldn’t that be self-contradictory?

This made everyone more curious, wanting to hear what significant actions "Shenxiao Dao Sect" has taken.

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder!"

Master Lei Ze, Nine Netherworld Master, and the Peak Master Alchemy Tripod returned to their positions, while Li Yunjing stood at the center of the hall, preparing to recount the experiences of the two battles.
