Everyone: Summoners are weak? One gold entry at level 1

Chapter 726 Yuqing's Secret Plot
He described the last vague message he received through gritted teeth:

The Lord of Time was instantly assassinated and eliminated by an assassin whose presence was extremely well concealed. Even though the Holy Maiden was trying to hold them back, anyone who could instantly kill the Lord of Time could instantly kill them as well.

Immediately afterwards, the two companion spirits under Shen Fei's seat descended onto the battlefield without regard to distance.

Xuanmingzi was killed by Chiyou with a single blow, his body and soul scattered.

Yuheng Zhenren was trapped in Xiaopu's spatial rift cage, while the other True Immortals, under the crushing force of Shengji's torrent of petals and the two monsters, instantly disintegrated like clay chickens and earthenware dogs.

"Instantaneous arrival? Ignoring distance?" Xuanjizi gasped, his expression changing drastically.

"This is no ordinary spatial teleportation. This person's spatial control has probably reached an inconceivable level. Ordinary spatial blockades are useless against her."

An elder in charge of intelligence added in a dry voice, "Reporting to all elders, the latest secret report is that the results from the front lines of the Corruption Abyss are also in."

"Chi You, in Jiuli City, apparently received spatial support from Xiao Pu. He used thunderous means to kill the Eye of Corruption and Poison, severely injured the Shadow Harvester, and after absorbing its essence, his aura surged. Then he disappeared along with Xiao Pu."

The timing perfectly matches when they appeared in the Void Battlefield.

A deathly silence fell over the hall. A thick layer of ice seemed to settle over everyone's hearts.

The abilities displayed by Shen Fei's companion creatures completely overturned their understanding.

The most crucial aspect is spatial transfer.

They can deploy their core combat forces to any battlefield at any time.

The spatial blockade set up with the power of a true immortal is like child's play under this kind of spatial manipulation.

what does this mean?
This means they will never be able to concentrate their forces to lock onto and kill any one of them.

Shen Fei's companion spirits have become an unkillable, uncaptureable, and ever-present ghost army capable of stabbing you in the back at any time.

"Shen Fei, Shen Fei!" Chong He Xuanxian roared, his eyes flashing with a crazed killing intent. "If this boy is not eliminated, he will become a major threat to our Yuqing Dao lineage. No, a catastrophic disaster."

His companion spirit is growing too fast, and its coordination is too unstoppable. If left unchecked, the consequences will be unimaginable once Shen Fei himself breaks through. We must nip it in the bud before it's fully grown, at all costs.

"At all costs?" Jade Spirit Immortal stared sharply at Chong He. "How to nip it in the bud? Like you did before, send another True Immortal to their death?"

Or should we, the immortals, personally take action?

Don't forget, a Xuanxian can't appear silently on the void battlefield. At that time, will we be the ones to ambush and kill Shen Fei's companion spirit, or will we be caught red-handed by the Human Emperor's Palace, triggering a war between the Dao lineages? Who can bear this responsibility?

"Are we just going to sit here and wait to die?" Another hawkish elder from Guangcheng slammed his fist on the table. "Are we just going to watch Shen Fei use the power of the Human Emperor's Palace and the remnants of Lishan? We've already offended them."

If Shen Fei continues to grow, the problem will become difficult to solve.

The debate erupted instantly. The council chamber was like a boiling cauldron of oil:
Some people advocate eliminating Shen Fei at all costs.

They believed that conventional methods were ineffective and that it was necessary to seek "unconventional" forces.

This implies a "limited" collaboration with certain entities in the abyss, using the power of the abyss to set up a deadly trap from which Shen Fei and his companion spirit cannot escape.

Shen Fei's threat has crossed the line of the struggle for the orthodox line; he is an enemy of life and death. The Abyss may be wicked, but it can be used to fight off other threats; the enemy can be eliminated later.

History is written by the victors.

Xuanjizi strongly opposed colluding with the Abyss, denouncing it as a crazy act that would destroy the Great Wall and tarnish the reputation of the Daoist tradition.

They believe that if this move is exposed, the Yuqing lineage will become a laughing stock in the heavens, and may even face joint sanctions from other supreme lineages.

It seems they should continue to blockade and suppress Shen Fei, look for his weaknesses, or sow discord within the imperial palace.

Some people were also worried, fearing Shen Fei's rapid growth and the unsolvable abilities of his companion spirit, and were extremely resistant to cooperating with the Abyss.

They believed that the most urgent task was to strengthen their own defenses, especially the protection of their blessed lands, and to unite with other Daoist lineages of Haotian that had grudges against Shen Fei to exert pressure.

The debate lasted for several hours, with both sides quoting scriptures and engaging in heated arguments, even causing the light in the hall to flicker.

Chong and Xuanxian's eyes were bloodshot, almost as if they wanted to devour someone: "Reputation? Can reputation be eaten?"

"Once Shen Fei gains power and leads his monstrous companions to attack your various sects, then you can go and cry to your reputation. Extraordinary times call for extraordinary measures. Cooperating with the Abyss is not my wish, but a last resort. As long as our goals are aligned and the process is kept secret, the result is what matters most."

As Master Yuling listened to the heated debate, his expression changed constantly.

As the elder in charge, he must weigh the pros and cons and make the final decision.

The chilling image of Xuanmingzi and the others' soul lamps going out replayed repeatedly in his mind, along with the terrifying information about Xiaopu ignoring the spatial blockade and Chiyou devouring Xuanxian to grow stronger.

Ultimately, the deep-seated fear of the foundation of the moral tradition being shaken and their own power being overthrown overwhelmed the inherent moral shackles and the instinctive aversion to the abyss.

He slowly raised his hand, and a heavy, mystical pressure spread out, forcibly quelling the argument in the hall.

All eyes were on him.

Master Yuling closed his eyes for a moment, and when he opened them again, his eyes were filled with a cold and resolute light. His voice was low and slow, yet carried an undeniable will:
“Shen Fei is a strange creature with an eerie spirit that is growing rapidly. Its threat is beyond what can be dealt with by ordinary means.”

His gaze swept over the crowd with their varied expressions, finally settling on Chonghe Xuanxian. He said, word by word, "What Junior Brother Chonghe said may involve a risky move, but in times of life and death, one must act decisively. This is to protect the eternal foundation of our Yuqing Dao lineage."

"Permission granted to conduct limited, single-target contact with Abyss Yellow Lord."

"There is only one objective—to lay a trap of certain death at all costs and completely annihilate Shen Fei and his core companion spirit. All contact must be conducted in the most secretive manner, and those involved must swear the 'Jade Purity Blood Soul Oath.' If there is even the slightest leak, they will be annihilated, body and soul."

"Senior Brother Yu Ling." Xuan Ji Zi and the others' expressions changed drastically, and they still wanted to dissuade him.

"No need to discuss it further." Master Yuling waved his hand decisively, his eyes flashing even colder. "Junior Brother Chonghe will be fully responsible for this matter, with Junior Sister Xuanji assisting him. Please be cautious and thorough."

Remember, we are merely using the power of the Abyss to achieve our goal; we must not become involved with it further. We can discuss the threat of the Abyss after this is done.

A mixture of wild joy and ruthlessness flashed in Chonghe Xuanxian's eyes. He abruptly stood up, bowed, and accepted the order: "I will obey your command. Junior brother will not fail you. I will make sure that Shen Fei is reduced to ashes."

A faint, yet pure and authentic Daoist chant, encrypted with the secret language of the abyss, was sent via "Blood Soul Message."

It flew out from the Guangcheng Dao lineage and disappeared into space and time.

They pierced through layers of abyssal barriers and arrived before the throne of the Yellow King.

The message was concise yet enticing:
"Yuqing Taiyi, Chonghe. To Lord Huang of the Abyss: Shen Fei has grown rapidly and has become a threat to both of us. To eliminate him, we must work together to set up the 'Time-Space Anchor' formation."

Yuqing can use the 'Space-Fixing Disc' to lock its spatial jumps, while the Abyss needs to use the 'Time-Abyss Sand' to disrupt its time perception, and use the Abyss's will as a lure to trap it. Is this acceptable?

……

At the bottom of the abyss, on the throne of the Yellow King.

Now only the lowest level of the seven abysses remains.

A forbidden land where even time and space are eternally distorted.

On the enormous throne, forged from the bones of countless worlds and the essence of the abyss, two dark golden vertical pupils, larger and colder than the Blood Abyss, burning with world-destroying rage, pierce through the barriers of endless time and space.

Huang Jun's dark golden vertical pupils narrowed slightly, and his terrifying will swept over the message, instantly discerning the intentions and fears of the Yuqing lineage.

It remained silent for a few breaths, as if weighing its options.

Cooperating with these sanctimonious "righteous" people is tantamount to asking a tiger for its skin.

But Shen Fei's threat, especially Chi You who devoured its clone, has become the priority over everything else.

Huang Jun's true form emitted a low, malicious laugh, a laugh that sounded like the wails of millions of wronged souls, shaking the entire Abyss Plane.

The devastating defeat of the Abyss, the fall of the Eye of Septicism, the severe injury to the Shadow Abyss Reaper, and most importantly, the humiliation of its clone containing primordial power being devoured by Chi You—all the hatred points to the same target: Shen Fei!

"Ridiculous." Huang Jun's thoughts flowed through the abyss.

Finally, a thought rose from the throne, transforming into a response also encrypted with abyssal secrets, shooting towards the central Haotian against the trajectory of the transmission:

"can."
