Having many children brings many blessings; the struggle for power begins with marriage.

After seeing that the immortals from other realms had left, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao and the remaining few immortals looked at each other.

At this moment, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao said, "Don't worry about them. They are not from the Southern Region, so naturally they won't get involved in the affairs of the Southern Region."

"The most urgent task is to quickly spread the word about the movements in the Wildlands so that all the forces in the Southern Region can prepare."

"If the enemy is indeed heading towards the Southern Region, then war is inevitable."

At this moment, a Celestial Venerable said, "It's really strange. The barbarians should know that an evil Celestial Emperor has appeared in the Southern Region, yet they still dare to come to the Southern Region?"

Upon hearing this question, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao fell into deep thought. After a while, he said, "I'm afraid the other side is invading the Southern Region because the Blood Ancestor hasn't shown up yet, and there have been rumors in the Southern Region that the Blood Ancestor's time is coming to an end."

"Everyone, we must spread this news immediately. I will return to the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect first. Let those few people handle the patrol of the Sunset Mountains. They are not from the Southern Region, so even if they encounter the Barbarian army, the Barbarians should not do anything to them."

As soon as he finished speaking, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao left White Rainbow Immortal City and flew towards Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

Seeing that Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable had left, the other four Southern Region Immortal Venerables also quickly left Baihong Immortal City and returned to their respective forces.

Six months later, news of the impending invasion of the Southern Region by the barbarian army spread throughout all the major powers.

Upon hearing this news, the leaders of various forces initially doubted its veracity. After all, the Great Tribulation still existed, and if a war were to break out, especially a major war between realms, the consequences could be dire.

However, later, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao personally released the news that he had witnessed the matter with his own eyes. In addition, Xuanxiao Immortal Sect activated the Immortal Gate Formation, and more and more people believed the news.

Soon, some immortal sects sent scouts to the Sunset Mountains to investigate the movements of the barbarian army. The results were the same as those sent by Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao: a large number of barbarian warships were indeed rapidly heading towards the Southern Region.

Tianhua Palace also sent a Celestial Venerable to Sunset Mountain Range to inquire about the news of the barbarian army. After the Celestial Venerable of Tianhua Palace confirmed that this was true, Tianhua Palace was suddenly caught in a dilemma.

On a fairy ship that is thousands of kilometers long.

In the meeting hall.

The immortals in Tianhua Palace looked at the projected images sent back by their scouts, and their expressions were all very solemn.

Just as they were about to storm the Blood Eagle Palace, the forces of the Wilderness invaded the Southern Region.

If they were to fight the Blood Eagle Palace to the death now, regardless of whether they succeeded in sealing the Blood Ancestor, the strength of the Heavenly Flower Palace would be weakened, and they would be unable to contend with the various forces of the Wilderness.

It should be noted that the forces in the Northern Region have all gone to the Wilderness, and the Southern Region is not only facing the invasion of the Wilderness's native forces, but also the invasion of two realms.

The combined forces of the Northern Region and the local wildlands, and even all the forces in the Southern Region, might not be a match for them.

In this situation, joining forces with the Blood Eagle Palace is probably the best solution.

But they only recently had a life-or-death battle with the Blood Eagle Palace. Now, are they supposed to shake hands and make peace with the Blood Eagle Palace and then unite to fight against the invasion of the barbarian army? That doesn't seem very plausible at all.

Regardless of whether the Blood Eagle Palace would agree, even if they did, once they tied down the Barbarian Army, the Heavenly Flower Palace would ultimately become a subordinate force of the Blood Eagle Palace.

Immortal Venerable Taihua, seated on his celestial throne, spoke up, "What are your thoughts, everyone? Please speak them." Hearing this, the immortals looked at each other, but remained silent.

Ideas? What ideas could they possibly have?
They felt that no matter what choice they made, the final outcome for Tianhua Palace would not be good, and now they felt that Tianhua Palace's fate was sealed.

Seeing that none of the immortals in the hall spoke, Immortal Venerable Taihua's face grew even more gloomy. As the hall master, he too could not think of a suitable solution.

As a force in the Southern Region, they should logically join forces with the Blood Eagle Palace to fight against the invasion from the outer regions. However, they and the Blood Eagle Palace have already reached a point of no return. If he were to stop now, the elders and disciples of the Heavenly Flower Palace would probably not be willing.

The war was extremely brutal, and Tianhua Palace suffered heavy losses. Many of Tianhua Palace's Daoist partners, masters, and disciples died in the war. In addition, the evil immortals of Blood Eagle Palace were extremely cruel, and many immortals of Tianhua Palace deeply hated the evil immortals of Blood Eagle Palace.

If we choose to join forces with the Blood Eagle Palace to fight the enemy now, we will inevitably lose the support of the people. As a result, the fortune of the Heavenly Flower Palace will definitely decline significantly.

The fortunes of Tianhua Palace were already dwindling, and if it were to lose the hearts of the people, the dissolution of Tianhua Palace would be imminent.

Immortal Venerable Taihua felt extremely troubled. Why did those barbarian forces choose this particular time to invade the Southern Region? Now, Tianhua Palace was caught in a dilemma, unable to advance or retreat.

At this moment, Immortal Venerable Taihua suddenly realized that Lu Chen seemed to have created an immortal dynasty in the Wilderness, so he must know what the current situation in the Wilderness is.

His gaze then fell upon Lu Chen in the main hall, who seemed completely unaffected.

Immortal Venerable Taihua's face darkened. He suddenly remembered that since Lu Chen had an avatar in the Wilderness, he should have known about the Wilderness invasion long ago, but Lu Chen did not tell them.

Clearly, Lu Chen was also on the side of the Wilderness.

Immortal Venerable Taihua asked, "Lu Chen, you should have known all along that the Barbarians were going to invade the Southern Region, right?"

Lu Chen did not deny it, "I do know."

Taihua Immortal Venerable said coldly, "Then why don't you tell me?"

Lu Chen said, "Tianhua Palace is about to attack Blood Eagle Palace. If I tell you now, wouldn't that distract Tianhua Palace and make them hesitant and indecisive? How can they possibly defeat Blood Eagle Palace then?"

Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, a Celestial Venerable from Tianhua Palace couldn't help but step forward and say, "Given the current situation, even if we seal the Blood Ancestor of Blood Eagle Palace, what benefit would it bring us?"

"I think you clearly want to see us and the Blood Eagle Palace both suffer heavy losses, so that the Wilderness can reap the benefits."

Lu Chen calmly said, "You need to understand this: you paid immortal crystals to invite me here only to seal the Blood Ancestor. I'm not a member of your Tianhua Palace. Why should I tell you about the Barbarian invasion of the Southern Region?"

"Besides, attacking the Blood Eagle Palace was your Tianhua Palace's choice. Now that the situation has changed, you're in a dilemma. You can't blame me for that, can you?"

"You!" Upon hearing Lu Chen's words, the immortal venerable was speechless.

Indeed, they only sent Lu Chen to seal the Blood Ancestor; they couldn't ask him to do anything else.

However, the thought that Lu Chen knew about the barbarian invasion but kept it from them still infuriated the immortal venerables present. (End of Chapter)
