Chapter 248 Discussion
Inside the main hall of the Holy Dragon Sect.

Time passed quietly in the seemingly peaceful atmosphere. Ling Han remained seated in the main seat, his fingers occasionally tapping lightly on the armrest, his eyes closed as if he were resting, seemingly oblivious to everything around him.

After eating a few pastries, Wang Dong'er leaned back in the chair next to Ling Han, her pink and blue butterfly wings folded, her beautiful eyes looking around curiously. Occasionally, she would whisper a few words in Ling Han's ear, which would elicit a barely perceptible nod or shake of his head from him.

Wang Qiu'er and Ye Guyi stood motionless like two perfect sculptures, but their very presence cast a huge shadow over the entire Holy Dragon Sect, making all the disciples standing outside the hall feel breathless and as if they were being pricked by needles.

Tuoba Xi had already arranged for a messenger and was now pacing back and forth in the side hall, looking uneasy.

He both eagerly awaited the arrival of Camis and Tan Mengqi to hand over this hot potato and secretly feared its coming—he couldn't predict how the two sect leaders, with their contrasting personalities, would react upon seeing Ling Han and feeling the oppressive aura of the three Super Douluo. If negotiations broke down… his Holy Dragon Sect would likely be the first to suffer.

"Report—!" A disciple rushed to the side hall door, his voice tense. "Sect Master, news from the gate guards is that Sect Master Camis of the Rock Antelope Sect has arrived! She only brought two close attendant elders!"

Tuoba Xi perked up, quickly straightened his robes, suppressed his unease, put on a solemn expression tinged with indignation, and strode out to greet them.

Upon arriving at the mountain gate, they saw Camis, who looked travel-worn. She was still dressed in the same practical clothes suitable for mountain movement, and her expression was calm, but her brows showed the fatigue of a long journey and a hint of unyielding solemnity.

Behind her were two equally composed and sharp-eyed old men, both at the Soul Saint level.

"Sect Leader Kamis, you've finally arrived!" Tuoba Xi stepped forward, his tone carrying just the right amount of urgency and gravity.

Kamis's sharp gaze swept quickly over Tuoba Xi, then glanced at the battle marks and cracks on the ground beside him that had not yet been completely cleaned up. Her heart sank slightly, but her face remained calm: "Sect Leader Tuoba, what exactly is the situation described in the letter? Why the urgency?"

Tuoba Xi sighed, gestured for them to follow, and led Camis towards the main hall while lowering his voice and saying, "Alas, it's a long story!"

"The Spirit Hall is pressing us hard, and their conditions are becoming increasingly harsh, practically demanding that my Holy Dragon Sect become their vassal, with no autonomy whatsoever."

“What’s more troublesome is that I’ve received some vague information that the Beast God Pavilion seems to be interested in our area as well. This is a very important matter, and I dare not make a decision on my own. That’s why I’m in a hurry to invite you two over to discuss it.”

He completely positioned himself as a "victim" and "seeker," and his words were half true and half false, making them sound reasonable.

Camis listened silently, her eyes constantly scanning her surroundings. She noticed that the disciples of the Holy Dragon Sect seemed more silent than usual, their eyes filled with an indescribable fear, which deepened her suspicions. However, she didn't say anything, but simply followed Tuoba Xi to the plaza outside the main hall.

Just as they were about to step onto the main hall steps, another disciple rushed over. "Sect Master, Sect Master Tan Mengqi of the Sparrow Peak Sect has also arrived! She's already at the mountain gate!"

Tuoba Xi and Kamis stopped in their tracks. Soon, Tan Mengqi, dressed in a long emerald green dress and with a graceful figure, walked over, guided by a disciple.

Her face wore her usual shrewd smile, but deep within her phoenix eyes lay scrutiny and vigilance. She had also brought only two trusted confidants, two vice sect leaders at the Soul Douluo level, clearly having taken necessary precautions.

"Sect Leader Tuoba, Sister Camis, it seems I'm still a step too late." Tan Mengqi greeted them with a smile, but her gaze quickly swept across Tuoba Xi and Camis's faces, and she also did not miss the unusual signs in the square.

"Sect Leader Tan has arrived at just the right time." Tuoba Xi thought to himself, "He's here," but forced a bitter smile. "The situation is urgent, let's go inside and talk in detail."

The three sect leaders, each with their own agendas, entered the main hall of the Holy Dragon Sect under the guidance of Tuoba Xi.

The palace doors slowly closed behind them.

The moment they stepped into the main hall, Camis and Tan Mengqi, along with their trusted confidants, all froze!
An invisible and intangible yet vast and chilling pressure instantly engulfed them like a tidal wave!
This oppressive aura wasn't directed at any one person, but rather permeated every corner of the entire hall, making the air seem to freeze!
Camis felt as if her heart was being gripped by a cold, large hand, and her breathing suddenly became difficult. Her proud, mountain-like, and steady soul power was like a stream meeting the ocean in the face of this pressure, unable to muster the slightest thought of resistance!
She suddenly looked up, her gaze instantly locking onto the young man in black robes sitting at the far end of the hall!
It was him! Although he was excessively young, his icy eyes and the indifferent and majestic aura that seemed to be innate and superior to all living beings made her instantly realize the identity of the newcomer—Ling Han, the Pavilion Master of the Beast God Pavilion!
When his gaze swept over the three stunningly beautiful women beside Ling Han, his heart trembled violently!

The girl with long, light blue hair seemed delicate and pretty, but her aura was as deep as the starry sea; the woman with golden hair and golden eyes, with just one glance, made her feel as if she were seeing a ferocious beast from the primordial era, ready to devour anyone, and her soul trembled; especially the woman in white dress standing solemnly behind Ling Han, with the phantom of eight holy wings faintly visible, the holiness and vastness she exuded made her feel like an ant looking up at a god!

Super Douluo! Absolutely Super Douluo! And there's more than one!
The so-called "movements of the Beast God Pavilion" mentioned by Tuoba Xixin were actually the arrival of the Beast God Pavilion Master himself! He was also accompanied by three unimaginably terrifying beings!
Tan Mengqi's reaction was even worse than Camis's. The shrewd smile on her face froze instantly, replaced by extreme shock and fear!
The two Soul Douluo vice sect leaders she brought with them were even more pale-faced, their bodies trembling uncontrollably. Under that terrifying pressure, they even had difficulty standing still.

A trap! This is a complete trap!
That bastard Tuoba Xi actually sided with the Beast God Pavilion and even tricked them into coming here!

"Tuoba Xi! You...!" Camis was both shocked and furious. She turned sharply to look at Tuoba Xi beside her, her eyes almost spitting fire. She had a strong personality and hated being deceived and used.

Tan Mengqi's phoenix eyes were also filled with murderous intent as she stared intently at Tuoba Xi. Her voice was slightly sharp due to anger and fear: "Sect Leader Tuoba, what impressive methods you have!"

"This is what you call 'a matter of vital importance to the survival of the three sects'? This is what you call 'a secret alliance for self-preservation'?!"

Under the murderous gazes of the two sect leaders, Tuoba Xi's forehead was drenched in cold sweat. He opened his mouth, wanting to explain, but found himself speechless. The facts spoke louder than words; he had indeed lied to them.
