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

Under the pressure from the Blood Demon Immortal, all the forces in the Southern Region finally promised to obey the orders of the Blood Eagle Palace and do their utmost to resist the invasion of the barbaric forces.

Although these leaders still had some doubts about what the Blood Demon Immortal Venerable said, they dared not gamble.

What if what the Blood Demon Immortal Venerable said is true? What if the Blood Ancestor hasn't made a move because he's breaking through to a higher level?

It's not impossible.

The limitations of their Immortal Venerable realm have been lifted, and the limitations of their Immortal Emperor realm may also be lifted. Perhaps there are even higher realms above Immortal Emperor.

If they continue to just shout slogans without taking any action, like they did when they dealt with Tianhua Palace last time, their forces will probably really disband when Blood Ancestor comes out of seclusion.

After the Blood Demon Immortal Venerable finished exposing the various forces in the Southern Region, he immediately formed an alliance and divided the various forces in the Southern Region into three armies.

In the eyes of the Blood Demon Immortal Venerable, the invasion from the Wildlands would not be a full-scale attack from the outset. The Immortal Venerable probably wouldn't take action; they would definitely first deplete the strength of the various forces in the Southern Region and weaken their fortunes.

A full-scale invasion will only be launched after the fortunes of various forces in the Southern Region decline; this has always been the process of the Immortal Sect War.

The three armies from the Southern Region were mainly heading to Jade Unicorn Palace, Overlord Sea Immortal Sect, and Purple Phoenix Immortal Sect to help these three sects resist the barbarian army.

Originally, the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect was the first to engage in battle with the barbaric forces before these three immortal sects. However, because the Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable did not obey the Blood Demon Immortal Venerable's order to go to the Blood Eagle Palace, the Blood Eagle Palace simply abandoned the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

Since the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect is so powerful that it doesn't even obey the Blood Eagle Palace's immortal decree, let them fight against the first wave of invasion from the Wilderness on their own. This can be seen as making an example of them.

In fact, it wasn't that Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao was unwilling to go to the Blood Eagle Palace, but rather that he was simply too busy to leave at the moment.

Before the large-scale invasion by the barbarian forces, many barbarian spies had already entered the immortal city controlled by the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, and they had already captured many of them.

These spies came from various forces in the wilderness, but they all had only one goal: to cause as much damage as possible to the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, weaken its fortune, and thus reduce the strength of the Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable.

With the barbaric forces constantly causing destruction, Xuanxiao Immortal Venerable had no intention of attending any meetings at the Blood Eagle Palace. If he didn't concentrate on dealing with those invading forces, his Xuanxiao Immortal Sect might be gone by the time he returned from the meeting.

Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

Inside the council hall, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao was discussing with the elders of the Immortal Sect how to guard against spies from the barbarian forces.

Just then, a Celestial King entered the main hall. "Sect Master, the Blood Eagle Palace talks have yielded results."

Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao immediately asked, "What was the result?"

The Immortal King immediately said, "The various forces in the Southern Region will form three armies, which will be stationed at the Jade Unicorn Palace, the Purple Phoenix Immortal Gate, and the Overlord Sea Immortal Gate respectively, to resist the invasion of the barbaric forces."

Upon hearing this, the elders present immediately erupted in uproar.

"What? They're stationed at these three immortal sects? Does that mean we've been abandoned?"

"Could it be because our sect leader didn't go to the Blood Eagle Hall, and the Blood Eagle Hall is planning to make an example of him?"

"What should we do now? Relying solely on the strength of our Xuanxiao Immortal Sect, we simply cannot withstand the first wave of invasion from the Wilderness."

...For a moment, the elders in the hall were discussing among themselves, and their eyes showed worry. In recent times, the number of spies from the wilderness has been increasing, and these spies have caused great damage to the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect. The fortune of the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect has dropped by 30%.

They had a premonition that a formal invasion from the barbarians would soon follow.

Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao sat on his throne above, saying nothing. He didn't know what to do. The Blood Eagle Palace was clearly making an example of them, so even if they went to the Blood Eagle Palace now, it was unlikely that the Blood Eagle Palace would allow other forces in the Southern Region to help them.

Just then, another Celestial King entered the hall. This Celestial King looked flustered, as if he had encountered some momentous event.

"Sect Master, something is wrong!"

Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao frowned, a bad premonition instantly rising in his heart. "What has happened?"

The Immortal King immediately said, "Our scouts have reported that the Azure Dragon Palace's warships have arrived at White Rainbow Immortal City, and the Azure Dragon Palace's Immortal Venerable has also come."

Upon hearing this, the hall fell into a deathly silence. No one spoke, and even the sound of people breathing became very distinct.

Just then, the Immortal King continued, "Originally, the Azure Dragon Palace planned to occupy the White Rainbow Immortal City, but Lu Chen stepped forward and said that the White Rainbow Immortal City was the best place to monitor the Sunset Mountains. So the Azure Dragon Palace gave the White Rainbow Immortal City to Lu Chen, and then they went straight to the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect."

Upon hearing this, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao immediately grasped the key point and asked, "Are you saying that the Azure Dragon Palace did not compete with Lu Chen for the White Rainbow Immortal City?"

Baihong Immortal City was originally the immortal city of Tianhua Palace. It was rich in immortal energy and was considered one of the more prosperous immortal cities in Tianhua Palace. It is surprising that Canglong Palace was willing to give up Baihong Immortal City.

The Immortal King said, "No, according to our spies, Lu Chen only said a few words, and the Azure Dragon Palace abandoned the White Rainbow Immortal City."

Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao fell silent again, pondering in his heart that if he remembered correctly, Lu Chen had created an immortal dynasty in the wilderness.

Lu Chen is also considered a barbaric force, and given his importance to the Heavenly Evolution Immortal Realm, the barbaric forces are bound to worry that the Southern Region forces might resort to desperate measures and attempt to break the seal on the Sunset Mountains.

If the forces of the Southern Region really go to break the seal of the Sunset Mountains, then Lu Chen's role will become apparent.

It is probably for this reason that the Azure Dragon Palace did not compete with Lu Chen for the White Rainbow Immortal City.

Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao suddenly thought of a good idea. Judging from the current situation, their Xuanxiao Immortal Sect has been abandoned by various forces in the Southern Region. The Xuanxiao Immortal Sect will inevitably become a battlefield, resulting in widespread suffering and the destruction of the entire Xuanxiao Immortal Sect.

The best way to avoid war is to seek refuge with the barbarian forces. However, the barbarian forces came to the Southern Region to plunder its fortune. Even if they sought refuge with the barbarian forces, those forces would most likely not allow the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect to continue to exist.

However, Lu Chen might be different. Lu Chen founded a Celestial Dynasty, which has always been tolerant of immortal sects. Many Celestial Dynasties contain immortal sects.

If the Xuanxiao Immortal Sect could join the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty, they would essentially become a barbaric force. When they display the Great Qin Immortal Dynasty's banner, the Azure Dragon Palace might be tempted to avoid them.

Thinking of this, Xuanxiao Immortal Sect did not hesitate and said directly to the elders in the hall, "I am going to see Lu Chen."

"From this day forward, the entire Xuanxiao Immortal Sect shall be on high alert. The sect's grand formation shall be fully activated, and all immortal cities shall be open for exit only, with no entry allowed!"

After giving his instructions, Immortal Venerable Xuanxiao rose from his throne and headed straight for White Rainbow Immortal City. (End of Chapter)
