Isn't this another existence like Spirit Crane Peak?
Though Spirit Crane Peak was wiped out overnight back then, it was because its actions were excessively outrageous.
As long as it remains low-key, using it as a deterrent and not deploying it lightly, the chances of repeating the fate of Spirit Crane Peak will be greatly reduced, to an almost negligible level.
Just as everyone was indulging in beautiful fantasies, Master Guanghuai spoke up, pulling everyone's thoughts back: "Therefore, this ti we absolutely must not let the treasure escape, and especially not fall into those foreigners' hands!"
The crowd, their faces flushed with unfulfilled desire, nodded, but their hearts began to guard against one another.
Master Guanghuai knew this was an unavoidable situation, and continued: "Let's first discuss how to seize the treasure under the watchful eyes of those foreigners."
After speaking, a determined glint flashed in Master Guanghuai's eyes as he added, "As long as outsiders don't get their hands on it, everyone present here can fully rely on their own abilities!"
As his words concluded, the crowd started a serious discussion of the details, striving for fairness, with every sect sending manpower equally.
This scene was currently being reenacted among all forces, even within the third-party forces that were on the verge of breaking apart, tense discussions were underway.
——
At the top of Kunlun Mountain, within a Daoist Temple, a man was fiddling with an instrunt in his hands, his face flushed with excitent, stepping on the thick fallen leaves beneath his feet, creating a creaking sound.
Not far from him, a woman of stunning beauty sat beside a stone table holding a cup of fragrant tea, her pretty face showing a trace of worry, wondering how he was faring.
"Found it, found it!" The man, his face glowing with excitent, said, "This is definitely the energy fluctuation of the Five Elents Crystal, no doubt about it!"
Upon hearing the news about the Five Elents Crystal, the worry on the woman's face instantly disappeared, replaced by an expression of surprise and joy: "Really?"
Before the man could answer, his attention was caught by a rapidly moving figure, and his excitent subdued sowhat.
"Ghost Face?!"
Ghost Face was not surprised to be called by na. Looking at his old friend holding a duster with a face full of surprise, he inquired, "How have you been, Daoist Tianxing?"
This Daoist, referred to as an old friend by Ghost Face, was the Sect Leader of Kunlun Daoism, known as Daoist Tianxing.
Just as Daoist Tianxing was about to reply, he noticed so disciples outside the wall peeking through the door cracks. Following their gaze, he was suddenly stunned.
He saw a woman of rare beauty, wearing a black and white checkered coat, her long legs wrapped in light blue jeans, every smile and frown intoxicating to the soul.
Noticing this, Ghost Face introduced, "This is a friend of mine, Lin Bingxuan."
Lin Bingxuan gave Daoist Tianxing a polite smile: "Hello!"
Then Ghost Face said to Lin Bingxuan, "This is an old friend of mine from earlier years, also the Sect Leader of the Kunlun Sect, Daoist Tianxing."
Daoist Tianxing returned a smile, then gently waved the duster in his hand, and the heavy courtyard door closed instantly, causing the disciples outside who were peeping to grimace but not daring to make a sound.
They knew very well that Daoist Tianxing, who looked kind and benevolent like a friendly old man, would impose severe consequences if angered.
Furthermore, this Sect Leader detested eavesdropping and spying the most. Once, a disciple, without permission, secretly viewed the secrets in Wenyuan Pavilion, only to be punished with a year of hard labor, making the whole sect shudder with fear!
Once the disciples outside had moved away, Daoist Tianxing looked at the mist-shrouded depths of Kunlun, sensing the intense energy fluctuations, his expression becoming extrely serious.
Though Daoist Tianxing didn't have divine sight, it was obvious even with simple thinking how many experts would be drawn to such powerful energy fluctuations.
And so many experts and forces rushing into his territory clearly wasn't sothing that would make Daoist Tianxing happy.
"I sensed abnormal fluctuations from the depths of Kunlun, so I ca out early. You're here for the sa reason, right?" Daoist Tianxing, snapping back to reality after a while, apologized with a smile and inquired.
"Exactly!" Ghost Face nodded with a serious expression, "And I know the source of those energy fluctuations, so I wanted to ask an old friend to lend a hand!"
Daoist Tianxing's grey eyebrows raised slightly in surprise: "Oh? You know the source of those energy fluctuations?"
"I'm more than eighty percent sure that the treasure is the Five Elents Crystal," Ghost Face explained. "The Five Elents Crystal has imnse value for my research!"
Then, glancing at Lin Bingxuan beside him: "Moreover, my friend here urgently needs it to help her boyfriend, so please don't refuse an old friend's request!"
Daoist Tianxing, after hearing Ghost Face's request, couldn't help but frown even more deeply. After a long silence, he finally said, "This matter needs to be discussed with the higher-ups. I can't agree to it directly."
"As you know, even as Sect Leader," Daoist Tianxing explained helplessly, "if a large-scale mobilization of forces is required, it has to be reviewed and unanimously agreed upon by the higher-ups."
Ghost Face's face changed, knowing the insincerity in Daoist Tianxing's words was too high. If a Sect Leader didn't have such authority, what kind of developnt would be possible?
If every matter required a eting by the higher-ups, and unanimous agreent, wasn't it as if by just persuading one elder to oppose everything, no matter the agenda or its benefit to the sect, the sect would be rendered incapable of doing anything?
Seeing the change in Ghost Face's expression, Daoist Tianxing sighed: "This matter involves multiple aspects. Right now, those eyeing the Five Elents Crystal aren't limited to just you two, so..."
"Alright!" Understanding Daoist Tianxing's predicant, Ghost Face interrupted: "Then please convene the eting promptly; after all, this is better done sooner rather than later!"
Daoist Tianxing imdiately breathed a sigh of relief and headed towards the courtyard door, inviting the two behind him, "Follow !"

linda slowly opened her beautiful eyes, a slight frown, feeling weakness in her limbs. Trying to get up caused a pull on her nerves, sending a sharp pain through her chest, and she inhaled sharply, falling back to the ground.
Looking at the bandaged wound on her chest, and turning to Xiao Tian, who was lying on the ground in a curled position, a rumbling sound suddenly echoed in linda's mind.
This, what is going on?
Could it be...
She glanced at her injured area, then at Xiao Tian, who was still on the ground. linda couldn't help but imagine a heart-wrenching scene.
Wait, wait!
Holding her slightly dizzy head, linda forced herself to calm down and carefully recalled the events of last night.
