The attendees were all from minor sects; the major ones would arrive later.
After the Baihe Alliance and Chiyun Alliance, along with their subordinate minor sects, had all arrived, they waited in silence. After all, their leaders had not yet arrived.
They waited for a while longer, and then their leaders finally arrived.
"Baihe Sect has arrived!"
"Chiyun Palace has arrived!"
The minor sect hosting this gathering was from the Baihe Alliance, so they announced Baihe Sect first.
The Sect Leader of Baihe Sect and the Sect Leader of Chiyun Palace entered through the main gate simultaneously. Behind them, elders from both sects followed.
The leaders of the other minor sects stood up and bowed to the two major sects.
After the two sects returned the greetings, they took their seats at the two main chairs.
"Sect Leader Baihe, it's been a long time."
"Sect Leader Chiyun, we last met six years ago. Time flies in cultivation. Have you reached the Nascent Soul stage yet?"
"Ahahaha, Sect Leader Baihe, you jest. The Nascent Soul stage is not so easily attained."
After some pleasantries, it was ultimately the Sect Leader of Chiyun Palace who spoke.
"Today, the demonic path has had a very difficult day. That Xuanmen sect has destroyed many demonic cultivators."
At this point, the Sect Leader of Baihe Sect said with an indifferent expression, "Isn't it good that the demonic path is being eliminated? You know those demonic cultivators are the ones who wreak havoc."
The Sect Leader of Chiyun Palace also chuckled, "Hahaha, alright, let's not talk about these pointless matters. After Xuanmen eliminates all the demonic sects, what will they do?"
At this moment, a leader from a minor sect behind Chiyun Alliance shouted, "Does that even need to be asked? Xuanmen's killing intent is so strong. They will surely turn their attention to our righteous sects."
After these words were spoken, the expression on the Sect Leader of Baihe Sect's face soured. This was precisely the situation he had also suspected.
The Sect Leader of Baihe Sect fell into a grim silence.
The Sect Leader of Chiyun Palace said, "What do you think, Sect Leader Baihe? In this situation, there is only one option. It is time for us to unite and deal with Xuanmen."
The Sect Leader of Baihe Sect nodded and said, "Yes, you are right. In this situation, we can only unite to deal with Xuanmen. Xuanmen's immense killing intent means they have fallen into the demonic path. For the sake of all living beings, we must eliminate Xuanmen. Do you have a strategy, Sect Leader Chiyun?"
The Sect Leader of Chiyun Palace said, "I have indeed thought of a method. I have a plan on how to deal with Xuanmen. We now know Xuanmen's location. We will take advantage of Xuanmen being away to eliminate the demonic sects and destroy their headquarters."
The Sect Leader of Baihe Sect said, "Then let us proceed with our agenda and hold a vote. After all, we need to vote within these two alliances."
The Sect Leader of Chiyun Palace said, "In that case, let us proceed with the vote in this manner. Someone will tally the votes."
A leader of a minor sect stepped forward and said, "I will tally the votes."
This leader was from the sect responsible for hosting the event.
He immediately began the preparations.
The minor sect leader said, "Those who agree, please raise your right hand."
The Sect Leader of Chiyun Palace and the Sect Leader of Baihe Sect both raised their right hands.
The minor sect leader directly announced, "Sect Leader Chiyun agrees, Sect Leader Baihe agrees."
The minor sect leader then looked at the other sect leaders and said, "Next, everyone else please vote, one by one."
Since the two leading sects had agreed, the other sects naturally would not object. In this situation, raising an objection would be very unwise. Although it was said that they could vote according to their own will, this agenda was entirely designed by the two major sects to see if anyone dared to oppose them.
"Huifeng Sect agrees."
"Mafeng Sect agrees."
"..."
The voting was completed in a short amount of time. The result of this vote was that all sects agreed to take action against Xuanmen.
The Sect Leader of Baihe Sect and the Sect Leader of Chiyun Palace both showed smiles; this result was within their expectations. After all, it was just an ordinary sect they were dealing with, or so they thought.
The Sect Leader of Baihe Sect said, "The righteous path shall eternally prevail in this world. Xuanmen, this demonic sect, is a threat to the cultivation world of the Southern Region."
The Chiyun Palace also applauded and said, "Indeed, Xuanmen, this demonic sect, is a threat to cultivators. Then we shall act on a chosen date and bring Xuanmen down."
At this moment, the host sect leader also stepped forward and said, "Esteemed sirs, I have also prepared a banquet. Please enjoy good food and drink later."
This minor sect leader clapped his hands, and chefs from behind the main hall brought out dishes one after another.
Just as these sect leaders were expecting a good meal, a voice rang out.
"Xuanmen has arrived!"
The expressions of the sect leaders present instantly froze. While they were here discussing how to deal with Xuanmen, Xuanmen had arrived uninvited.
Everyone's gaze turned towards the main hall's entrance.
Six figures walked in.
Leading the way was Su Han, followed by Chu Shi behind him. Behind Chu Shi were Ye Fan and the others.
Lin Dong and Xiao Yan were pursuing the escapees from the demonic sects.
As soon as Su Han entered, he said with a smile, "Hahaha, why wasn't Xuanmen invited to the Southern Region Righteous Path Conference? You know Xuanmen is also a part of the righteous path."
In the main hall, there were two rows of chairs. The Sect Leaders of Baihe Sect and Chiyun Palace sat on either side.
Su Han walked directly to the uppermost seat and scanned the surroundings.
A powerful pressure emanated from him throughout the hall.
The Sect Leaders of Baihe Sect and Chiyun Palace immediately unleashed their spiritual senses to perceive the newcomers.
Upon sensing them, they were greatly surprised. Among the six people who had entered, four had reached the Golden Core stage, and two of them had undetectable cultivation levels. These two must be at the Nascent Soul stage.
At this moment, the Sect Leaders of Baihe Sect and Chiyun Palace felt a great sense of unease. Xuanmen actually had Nascent Soul cultivators, and not just one, but two. If they had known this earlier, the Southern Region Righteous Path Conference would not have been held.
There was no chair for Su Han in the hall.
Su Han directly took out a chair from his storage space and placed it in the center of the hall, then sat down in it.
Chu Shi and the other five stood behind Su Han's chair.
This arrangement meant Su Han was sitting in the center, essentially the main seat. The Sect Leaders of Chiyun Palace and Baihe Sect on either side were merely his escorts.
The subordinates standing behind the Sect Leaders of Chiyun Palace and Baihe Sect immediately shouted, "How dare you sit in the most central seat!"
