Chapter 247 A Way Out!

Camis watched the scroll in her hand gradually dissipate and took a deep breath of the crisp mountain air.

She knew that this trip would likely determine the future of the Rock Antelope Sect. She had to go, and she had to go herself to see what information Tuoba Xi actually possessed, and how feasible his so-called joint self-defense was.

........................

Meanwhile, a thousand miles away, at the Sparrow Peak Sect.

Unlike the rugged and precipitous terrain of the Rock Antelope Sect, the Sparrow Peak Sect's residence was... rather peculiar.

The sect was not built on a mountain, but rather in a vast forest filled with countless towering ancient trees.

The branches of these ancient trees have been cleverly modified and connected to build countless treehouses, aerial walkways, and observation platforms.

The entire sect resembled a floating city above the forest, brimming with vitality and life. The air was filled with the faint fragrance of flowers and the fresh scent of grass and trees, and disciples dressed in light clothing would occasionally nimbly move through the trees, making soft humming sounds.

The sect leader, Tan Mengqi, was a beautiful woman who looked to be no more than thirty years old, though her actual age was unknown. She wore a well-tailored emerald green dress, her figure graceful, her face beautiful, and her phoenix eyes sparkling with shrewdness and competence.

At this moment, she is in her spacious treehouse at the top of the tallest tree, handling the sect's daily affairs.

"Sect Master, urgent message from the Holy Dragon Sect." A female disciple with pale blue transparent wings flew into the treehouse as lightly as a sparrow and presented the scroll.

"Tuoba Xi?" Tan Mengqi put down her pen, a hint of surprise and amusement flashing in her phoenix eyes. "This guy is the kind of person who only shows up when he needs something. Why is he using emergency communication? Has the sun risen in the west?"

She took the scroll, leaned back lazily on the soft leather-covered chair, and activated it.

However, as she read on, the languidness and playfulness on her face gradually disappeared, replaced by an extreme focus and sharpness.

She read faster than Camis, and her eyes shifted more frequently. Sometimes she frowned, sometimes she pursed her lips, and her fingers tapped unconsciously on the back of the chair.

"The Spirit Hall... the Beast God Pavilion... a matter of vital importance to their survival..." she murmured, her phoenix eyes narrowing slightly, gleaming with the shrewdness of a shrewd businessman. "That old dragon Tuoba Xi certainly knows how to find excuses."

"However... what he said wasn't entirely alarmist."

Tan Mengqi, as the sect leader of Quefeng Sect, is known for her keen sense of smell and shrewd mind.

She had long sensed the strange atmosphere on the mainland. The Spirit Hall's recent attempts to win her over had become increasingly forceful, carrying an undercurrent of unequal acceptance.

The rise of the Beast God Pavilion has further disrupted the original balance. Its leader, Ling Han, is domineering and ruthless, and is by no means an easy opponent.

These mid-level sects have indeed reached a critical moment where they must make a choice or find a way out.

Tuoba Xi's proposed "three-sect alliance" seemed like a way out. Sticking together for warmth was better than being swallowed up by any single behemoth. But…

Tan Mengqi's fingertips lightly traced the words "must be present in person," "secret meeting," and "do not make a fuss," a hint of doubt flashing in her eyes.

"So eager? And demanding to go secretly..." She stood up, walked to the edge of the treehouse, and looked down at the green sea of ​​trees below and the disciples moving among them. "Is the situation really that urgent, or... do you, Tuoba Xi, have other plans?"

It wasn't that she didn't trust Tuoba Xi, but in the world of Soul Masters, especially at a time when interests were at stake, it was always better to be cautious. The Holy Dragon Sect was the strongest of the three sects, and Tuoba Xi himself was a peak Soul Douluo. What if he used the guise of alliance to actually annex them? Or perhaps this was a trap set by the Spirit Hall or the Beast God Pavilion?
Various possibilities flashed through her mind.

After a long while, a meaningful smile suddenly appeared on her lips.

"Fine, let's put it to the test and see what it's made of."

"Even if it's a den of dragons and tigers, I, Tan Mengqi, will still venture in and see what kind of medicine you, Tuoba Xi, are up to!"

She possesses a decisive and adventurous side to her personality; otherwise, she wouldn't have been able to develop the Quefeng Sect to its current scale.

She turned around and instructed the waiting female disciple, "Go and invite the two vice sect leaders over immediately."

"Yes, Sect Master."

Soon, two middle-aged men with powerful auras entered the treehouse. They were the two vice sect leaders of the Sparrow Peak Sect, both at the Soul Douluo level.

"Sect Master, what urgent matter is it?" one of the deputy sect masters asked with a calm expression.

Tan Mengqi briefly told the two of them the contents of Tuoba Xi's letter, without hiding her own guesses.

Upon hearing this, the expressions of the two vice sect leaders also turned solemn.

"Sect Master, this matter is quite risky. Should you go there yourself?" Another vice sect master, whose personality was rather impatient, looked worried.

Tan Mengqi waved her hand, interrupting him: "It is precisely because the risks are considerable that I must go in person. Tuoba Xi specifically requested that Camis and I go in person. If we do not go, it would appear cowardly, and we might miss important information."

"If a union is truly possible, it might not be a bad way out for my Quefeng Sect."

She paused, a glint of shrewdness flashing in her eyes: "However, we must remain vigilant. After I leave, the sect will enter a state of highest alert."

"You two, secretly mobilize a group of elite fighters," she said to the composed vice sect leader, "You lead them to secretly meet the Holy Dragon Sect on the outskirts. If I don't send a safety signal within a day, or if the Holy Dragon Sect makes any unusual moves... you know what to do."

Her arrangements were meticulous, demonstrating both her determination to go and her preparation for the worst.

The two vice sect leaders exchanged a glance, knowing that the sect leader had made up his mind, and replied in unison, "Yes! Rest assured, sect leader, we will protect the sect and meet you in time!"

Tan Mengqi nodded, then looked again in the direction of the vanished scroll. Her phoenix eyes were filled with caution about the unknown future and a hint of barely perceptible anticipation.

"Tuoba Xi, Camis... I hope this meeting can truly find a way out for our three sects..."

Thus, under the influence of Tuoba Xi's letter, which was half true and half false and full of warnings of crisis, Kamis, the sect leader of the Rock Antelope Sect, and Tan Mengqi, the sect leader of the Sparrow Peak Sect, each with their own heavy hearts and calculations, secretly left their sects with a few close confidants and sped off towards the Holy Dragon Sect.

Kamis and Tan Mengqi had no idea that what awaited them was not the expected joint meeting of the three sects, but a storm that would completely determine their fate and that of their sects.
