Chapter 868 Our Sect Isn’t To Be Underestimated (1/2)

Meanwhile at the Luotian Sect Hall, Sect Leader Duan Mu Rui sat on the main seat uneasily. There were 24 human immortals sitting in both rows next to him, all of them exuding a majestically powerful aura.

The bunch of human immortals was discussing how should they handle the arrested Dynasty members. As Sect Leader, Duan Mu Riu had been listening quietly. He sat with his back straight, not daring to interrupt from the beginning until the end.

Although he was the Luotian Sect Leader, among the 24 people who were present, his grandmaster ranked the last in seniority. Most of them were even great-grandmasters.

As the people were in the zone of discussion, a messenger burst into the hall all of a sudden.

”Sect Leader, all patriarchs… There's an emergency coming from the city!”

”We'll talk about it when the meeting is over!” Duan Mu Rui frowned and waved him away.

”Wait.” The old, white-bearded Taoist devotee sitting on Duan Mu Rui's left lifted his head to look at the messenger and turned to Duan Mu Rui. ”Sect Leader, let him speak since it's an emergency. We won't have any results for our discussion anytime soon anyway.”

”You're right, Patriarch.” Duan Mu Rui nodded immediately.

The white-bearded Taoist devotee holding a horsetail whisk was the most senior among the patriarchs. He was the old Sect Leader who had decided to seal the door tens of thousands year ago. Including the time he sealed himself, he was close to 13,000 years old.

Duan Mu Rui knew that the old Taoist devotee had no right to bypa.s.s him to command the messenger just like that. Instead, he was showing his respect to Duan Mu Rui as the Sect Leader.

”What's the emergency? Please, speak.”

”A piece of news has come from the government residence. Gigantic gullies have appeared in several locations early in the morning. They've found eight gullies so far which have spread across the entire continent.” The messenger disciple provided a summary of the news. ”Also, there's a ma.s.sive amount of demons crawling out of the gullies. Looking at the current situation, they're all mortal transformation-level demons.”

The entire hall fell into dead silence as soon as the messenger reported that.

Besides Duan Mu Rui, even all of the patriarchs, including the old, white-bearded Taoist devotee were stunned.

”Have you confirmed the authenticity of the news?” The old Taoist devotee was the first to snap out of his shock and asked immediately while frowning.

”I've confirmed it. More than one government residence has found out about this. Moreover, the Wuchen Sect, the Xiaoyao Sect, and the other sects heard about this before we did. There are rumors saying that they're opening their doors,” said the messenger respectfully.

The hall fell into a dead stillness once again.

The old Taoist devotee could no longer consider Duan Mu Rui's position and he said to the messenger directly, ”Contact the government residence now. We want to know more about it.”

The messenger stepped forward immediately and contacted the government residence after bringing out a communication crystal stone.

After talking to the government residence, the people from the Luotian Sect looked horrified. The old, white-bearded Taoist devotee looked at Duan Mu Rui after asking the messenger to leave. He seemed to be hesitating if he should ask him to leave too.

Noticing his great-grandmaster's hesitation, Duan Mu Rui stood up on his own and said with cupped hands, ”I'll make a move.”

”No need. Stay. You need to know about this sooner or later,” sighed the white-bearded old Taoist devotee softly and he signaled Duan Mu Rui to stay in the end.
