Chapter 466: Chapter 220: One Call, a Hundred Responses! Chen Xuan at the Head

Alright.

Chen Xuan understood everything now.

’Looks like things aren’t going so well for Feng Wuji.’

"Where did you come from?"

Chen Xuan pressed for more information.

"From... from the Yanyun Mountain Range."

Tang Yuan said, aggrieved.

"The Yanyun Mountain Range?"

Chen Xuan frowned. "Weren’t all the spatial rifts there sealed? Or so I recall. Did you discover a new one?"

"...Yes. I was lucky to make it through at all. I was injured when I arrived, which is how the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect found me."

Tang Yuan said, humiliated.

"Alright, then."

Chen Xuan nodded and turned to Chu Shanhe. "Alliance Leader, it seems Elder Feng has run into some trouble. What’s our plan? Should we go?"

Chu Shanhe’s expression grew heavy. He walked right over and said, "Feng Wuji did send me a message not long ago. More than once, actually. He asked me to bring you to help him. I’m afraid he’s truly in trouble. If we can go, it would be best to check on him."

After all, he had received quite a few favors from the man.

Besides, Feng Wuji’s situation was tied to the future of the entire world of light.

’What will become of this world of light if Feng Wuji can’t hold on?’

Feng Wuji had told him that his enemies not only wanted to kill him but also planned to occupy this entire realm.

’Could he guarantee that once those people took over, they wouldn’t turn on him next?’

Considering it from that perspective, he desperately needed Feng Wuji to pull through.

"Excellent. That’s just what I was thinking."

A smile spread across Chen Xuan’s face.

’I was just wondering how to get more retribution points.’

’And now I have another excuse.’

Besides, he had promised Feng Wuji not long ago to call on him if he ever needed anything.

’Now that he’s already sent a message to the Alliance Leader, what excuse do I have to refuse?’

’As for why Feng Wuji didn’t contact me directly...’

’It must be because he never gave me a communication Jade Pendant.’

"So, we leave now?"

Chen Xuan smiled.

"The sooner, the better. But we should try to bring some reinforcements with us!"

Chu Shanhe continued, "According to Feng Wuji’s message, those beings from the darkness have allied with forces from all over. Through coercion and bribery, they’ve gathered a massive number of people. It’s a convergence of powerful experts. I’m afraid we can’t stop them on our own!"

At this, he turned to Lu Qilin, Gongsun Wuwo, Chai Hongyi, and Li Dao Yuan.

"Gentlemen, you all heard our conversation. As the saying goes, when the skin is gone, where can the hair attach? There are beings from the deep darkness attempting to meddle in the shallow darkness. Once they occupy the shallow darkness, they will inevitably extend their claws into our world of light.

Your Grotto Heavens are on the front lines of the world of light. You will undoubtedly be the first to be hit. Do you intend to wait until then to act? By that point, I fear it will be far too late for you to even think of resisting.

And don’t tell me this has nothing to do with you.

If it truly has nothing to do with you, then I’ll just call Feng Wuji back right now. We’ll hide in the world of light and see if those people from the shallow darkness, with no one to keep them in check, decide to come after you."

The hearts of Lu Qilin, Gongsun Wuwo, Chai Hongyi, and Li Dao Yuan all sank.

Did they really need Chu Shanhe to spell it out for them?

They had lived for countless years; none of them were fools.

If Feng Wuji were to die and the shallow darkness fell under enemy control, the Grotto Heaven worlds would undoubtedly be next to suffer.

’Surrender then?’

’Even if we wanted to surrender, they might not even accept it!’

They were living comfortable lives now as masters of their own domains. Why would they trade that to become someone else’s slaves in the future?

"Chu Shanhe, I understand what you’re saying," Lu Qilin said in a low voice. "But this isn’t a decision our few Grotto Heavens can make alone. How about this: give me half a day, and I will contact all the Grotto Heavens."

"I am also willing to step forward!"

Gongsun Wuwo added, his voice grave.

One of them was from Tiangang Mountain, the other from Celestial Leisure Mountain.

Both were masters of the Dharma Realm who had cultivated arduously for many years.

Throughout the Grotto Heaven world, if they weren’t universally revered, they were close to it.

With them taking the lead, the outcome would surely be better than if Chu Shanhe had tried to persuade everyone himself.

"In that case, I must thank you both, Elders."

Chu Shanhe smiled and cupped his hands in a salute.

"Alliance Leader Chu, our Celestial Treasure Mountain is also willing to help persuade the others!"

"As is Celestial Might Mountain!"

Chai Hongyi and Li Dao Yuan added.

"Good. I’ll leave it to you two, then."

Chu Shanhe continued to smile.

"Then we’ll be on our way!"

Lu Qilin responded.

SWOOSH!

In a flash, the group vanished without a trace.

"Alliance Leader Chu, should we call upon the Celestial Rankers from the outside world as well?"

Yin Jiuxuan, the Sect Leader of the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect, asked hesitantly.

"No. The outside world must be guarded. If we all leave and the Northern Barbarians make a move, we’ll be in trouble. They may have been beaten back last time, but their Primordial Qi is still intact. If they see an opportunity, there’s no guarantee they won’t march south again."

Chu Shanhe said in a mild tone, "So, let the Celestial Rankers remain in the outside world."

"That works!"

Yin Jiuxuan nodded. "In that case, the Ten Thousand Immortals Sect also has two Outer Saints. I will have them remain in the outside world as well."

At that moment, the horribly tortured Tang Yuan, whose condition was too gruesome to look at, seemed to have guessed his fate. Fear filled his face as he hastily pleaded, "Yama Chen, I’ve cooperated with you! Spare me! You can’t kill me! If you kill me, my companions will sense it! They won’t let you go! Please, spare my life! I can be your mole! A mole..."

"A mole?"
