Chapter 246 The Rock Antelope Sect's Choice
He took a few deep breaths to calm his still wildly beating heart, and immediately whispered to his trusted elder waiting outside the hall, "Quickly! Go to my study and fetch my scroll! Be fast!"

"Yes, Sect Master!" The elder dared not ask any more questions and hurriedly ran off.

Tuoba Xi stood there, his brows furrowed, his mind racing.

He had to handle this matter flawlessly, without any mistakes. The fact that Pavilion Master Linghan had entrusted him with such an "important" task was both a test and... perhaps an opportunity? If he succeeded, would he be able to secure his position within the Beast God Pavilion?
He dared not delay and quickly walked to his study. Soon, his trusted elder brought the scroll. This was the sect leader's scroll, capable of long-distance, relatively rapid information transmission, usually used only in emergencies.

Tuoba Xi unfurled the scroll, pondered briefly, and began to write. The letters he wrote to Kamis, the leader of the Rock Antelope Sect, and Tan Mengqi, the leader of the Sparrow Peak Sect, were largely similar in content, but the wording was extremely refined:
"To Sect Leader Camis (Tan Mengqi):"
"It has been a long time since I last inquired about your well-being, but the situation is urgent, concerning the very survival of our Holy Dragon, Rock Antelope (Sparrow Peak) sects. Therefore, I must take the liberty of extending this invitation. Recently, the envoys from the Spirit Hall have been exerting increasing pressure, attempting to force us into complete submission. Their conditions are harsh, like a persistent, vexing ailment, causing us sleepless nights. I have also heard rumors of movements from the Beast God Pavilion; the situation is extremely complex and unpredictable. A single misstep could lead to our demise."

"After much deliberation, I realized that our three sects are interdependent. In this critical situation, the only way to survive is to set aside past grievances and discuss countermeasures together, so as to find a way out for our sect's disciples."

"Therefore, I humbly invite you, fellow Daoist, to personally visit my Holy Dragon Sect at noon tomorrow to discuss a secret plan for mutual protection. This matter concerns the very lifeline of our sect, and I earnestly hope that you will come in person and not make it public for the time being, so as not to let the news leak out and cause any unforeseen complications."

After finishing writing, Tuoba Xi carefully checked it twice to make sure there were no loopholes that would arouse suspicion before carefully rolling up the scroll and injecting soul power to activate it.

He summoned the disciple outside and instructed him to send the message towards the Rock Antelope Sect and the Sparrow Peak Sect.

Having done all this, Tuoba Xi let out a long sigh of relief, but the weight on his heart remained. He knew this was only the first step.

The real test will be how to deal with the arrival of the two sect leaders and how to cooperate with Pavilion Master Linghan to complete the subjugation.

He turned and looked at the main hall, which now seemed to be inhabited by a prehistoric beast. His eyes were complicated, filled with fear, awe, and a hint of... a resolute determination to risk everything.

……

The Rock Antelope Sect is located in the towering mountains of the southwestern part of the Heaven Dou Empire.

The sect's architecture is not designed for extravagance, but rather built against steep cliffs and natural caves, blending seamlessly with the surrounding rugged rocks and resilient pine trees, exuding a rugged, tenacious, and secluded atmosphere. This strategically important location, easy to defend and difficult to attack, is the home of the Rock Antelope Sect.

The sect leader, Camis, was a woman who looked to be around forty years old, but was actually older.

She was agile and strong, with a healthy tan from years of living in the mountains. Her face wasn't stunningly beautiful, but it possessed a mountain-like calmness and fortitude. Her eyes were sharp as an eagle's, as if they could pierce through the mist and see the very essence of the mountains.

At this moment, she was standing on the edge of the cliff outside the main hall, looking down at the deep valley shrouded in clouds and mist, feeling the cold mountain wind brushing against her cheeks.

"Sect Master." A disciple, as agile as an antelope, strode over, holding a scroll that shimmered with a faint silver light in both hands, and respectfully handed it over. "An urgent communication from Sect Master Tuoba Xi of the Holy Dragon Sect."

"Tuoba Xi?" Camis raised a slight brow, a hint of surprise flashing in her eyes. Although the Holy Dragon Sect and the Rock Antelope Sect were both considerable forces in the Soul Master world and had some dealings, they were mostly casual acquaintances, and rarely used this tactic. Especially recently, with the turbulent situation on the continent, the Beast God Pavilion's sudden rise, and the Spirit Hall's frequent actions, sects caught in the middle were even more cautious, walking on thin ice.

She took the scroll, and could immediately feel the soul power imprint belonging to Tuoba Xi, carrying a hint of the weight of an earth dragon. Infusing it with a wisp of soul power, the seal automatically unfolded, revealing the clear writing on it.

As she read, Camille's usually composed face gradually became serious. Her brows furrowed more and more, and her fingers, gripping the edge of the rolled-up uranium, unconsciously tightened.

"The Spirit Hall is putting increasing pressure on us... The Beast God Pavilion's movements are unclear... This is a matter of vital importance to the survival of the three sects... The secret merchants are forming a united front for self-preservation..."

Each word was like a stone thrown into her once calm heart, stirring up ripples.

She wasn't entirely oblivious to what Tuoba Xixin had said. In fact, in recent months, the envoys sent by the Spirit Hall had indeed become more "enthusiastic" than before, offering seemingly generous terms, but the underlying desire for control made her wary.

Meanwhile, the Beast God Pavilion, that behemoth that rose like a comet, annihilating the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex and subduing the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School with thunderous force, casts a huge shadow over all the sects that have not yet clearly chosen sides.

Tuoba Xi's letter ignited the vague unease in her heart.

"Like lips and teeth... let's discuss countermeasures together..." Camis repeated the words from the letter in a low voice, her gaze once again turning to the distant sea of ​​clouds, her eyes flickering uncertainly.

She knew Tuoba Xi somewhat; he wasn't weak-willed, and was even a bit arrogant. The fact that he was forced to use phrases like "the calamity of overthrow" and "unable to eat or sleep peacefully" indicated that the situation had indeed reached a very serious point.

He specifically emphasized coming in person, discussing the matter discreetly, and keeping it quiet, which is in line with the current sensitive situation. If they made a big fuss, it would probably immediately attract the attention of the Spirit Hall or the Beast God Pavilion, which would be a real catastrophe.

go? Still not going?

Camis quickly weighed the options in her mind. Not going would temporarily avoid the risks, but if the Holy Dragon Sect and the Sparrow Peak Sect really reached some kind of alliance agreement, and the Rock Antelope Sect was excluded, it would probably be even more passive in the future, and might even be isolated and swallowed up.

Going there would mean venturing deep into the Holy Dragon Sect, which carries certain risks. Although she had no grudge against Tuoba Xi, and theoretically he wouldn't set a trap for her, in these extraordinary times, no one could say for sure.

After pondering for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, a resolute glint finally flashed in Camis's eyes. She turned abruptly and instructed the disciples waiting beside her, "Pass down the order: I will be going out secretly tomorrow, and the sect affairs will be temporarily handled by the Grand Elder."

"Without my order, no one shall act rashly. Strengthen the security at the mountain gate."

"Yes, Sect Master!" The disciple accepted the order and left.
