If Zhang Xuan was here, he would recognize Du Qingyuan to be the ‘deity’ whoh the ritual of the Otherworldly Den Chen Yong, Zhang Xuan requested Du Qingyuan to take Sovereign Chen Yong’s soul aith her Using soed to reconstruct a new body for Sovereign Chen Yong, and the latter was currently the very adolescent youth standing right behind her

“Our sect leader is an acquaintance of yours?” Han Jianqiu frowned

As unlikely that it sounded, he couldn’t help but recall how ada his decision to head to the Sea of Exiled Stars Not too long after, Du QingyuanXuan too… Could the two of them really be acquainted with one another?

Han Jianqiu hesitated for ahis wrist

A jade token appeared in his grasp He tapped on the jade token lightly, and Zhang Xuan’s portrait floated into the air “This is our sect leader, Zhang Xuan”

The Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion and the Starchaser Palace couldn’t be said to be on friendly teryuan could be rather difficult at ti the implications, it was unlikely that she would try to harm their sect leader

Not toeither Thus, it shouldn’t matter whether she knew of his appearance or not

“Indeed!” Upon seeing the portrait, Du Qingyuan’s eyes lit up

Behind her, the adolescent youth, Wu Chen, treitation

“Is our sect leader the acquaintance Palace Chief Du is looking to?” Han Jianqiu asked

“Indeed We have yuan nodded After which, she turned to the adolescent youth behind her and said, “Wu Chen, if you wish to stay here, I can talk to Elder Han on your behalf”

“Thank you, Palace Chief Du!” Wu Chen clasped his fist in gratitude

“Un!” Du Qingyuan nodded

Just as she was about to continue speaking, her eyebrows suddenly shot up At the sahtly as well A moment later, their faces paled at the sa to descend half a month from now?”

“That’s way too fast!” Han Jianqiu’s body stiffened

The Azure Bridge was the only path into the Hall of Gods, and it only descended once every century Once they missed the occasion, they would have to wait another hundred years

If the Azure Bridge were to descend on its usual tih tih Inificantly boost his chances of clinching the rights to challenge the Hall of Gods

With his superior swordsood position to snatch the other half of the ‘神 (God)’ character for the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion

But if the Azure Bridge were to descend in half a month from now, the other party wouldn’t be able to make it in time at all!

Not to mention, the other party had already embarked on his journey to the Sea of Exiled Stars They didn’t knohere the youngin touch with hi good at all

“Let’s enter the Ethereal Hall!”

Without any hesitation, Han Jianqiu took out an Ethereal Token and iyuan quickly did the same as well

This was the Ethereal Token which only the top experts of the Forsaken Continent were bestoith The purpose of it was to provide a convenient platforather and discuss uarantee that the Ethereal Hall would be a secure place to co under the control of their sect This was also why they would preferentiallymajor issues

However, since this was just a si a known issue, it shouldn’t pose too much probleures appeared one after another The other sect leaders had clearly received the same news as well, so they swiftly made their way into the Ethereal Hall as well

Once the leaders of all Six Sects were present, Han Jianqiu shot a sweeping glance across the crowd before asking, “What are your current plans regarding the Azure Bridge?”

“The descent of the Azure Bridge is an important affair, so we have to deal with it carefully Elder Han, hasn’t the new leader of your Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion comprehended the Gods’ Sword Intent? Why isn’t he here?” an elder glanced over and asked

Due to Han Jianqiu’s announcehout the Forsaken Continent that the new sect leader of the Ascendant Cloud Sword Pavilion, Zhang Xuan, had grasped the Gods’ Sword Intent That should be h to qualify hi

“He’s in seclusion at the moment, so I couldn’t disturb him,” Han Jianqiu replied

“What about your newly-appointed Hall Master Zheng Yang?” the elder turned his gaze to Elder Qin Yuan

“He… is also in seclusion as well!” Elder Qin replied grimly

“They are both in seclusion?” the elder frowned in displeasure “It’s only once in every century that the Azure Bridge would descend, granting us an opportunity to challenge the Hall of Gods Yet, the two of the most hopeful sect leaders are in seclusion at the reat deal of exciteuration of t sect leaders, but how could the two of the such a crucial et in touch with our sect leader and inform him of this matter Meanwhile, the rest of you should quickly pick out the strongest and most talented members in your sects as well Ten days fro Boulder in the Sea of Exiled Stars Before the Azure Bridge appears, we should verify the strength of each sect before deciding on the leader of the expedition,” Han Jianqiu said

“Sounds fine It’s settled then”

The crowd nodded

This was indeed the best they could do at the moment

The Hall of Gods was located above the Sea of Exiled Stars, so the Azure Bridge appeared here as well Thus, it was decided to be their gathering area as well

“It’d be easier for us to devise a strategy if we gather together in advance too…”

At this moment, a voice suddenly echoed froure appeared within the rooure, the crowd quickly rose to their feet and clasped their fists, “Hall Master Kong!”

The person who had just arrived was no other than the master of the Ethereal Hall!

“Un, there’s no need to stand on ceremony I have just heard the news as well Please dispatch the top experts of your sects to the Heaven Anchoring Boulder as soon as possible Once the leader of the expedition has been chosen, I’ll have a personal chat with hie and the Hall of Gods,” Hall Master Kong said

After which, he turned to Han Jianqiu and s your new sect leader, Zhang Xuan Please do introduceBoulder I as out of hi hiratitude to you for your help all along,” Han Jianqiu replied with a nod
