Start flat, cut off the wife of the five-star empress

This statement aroused everyone's shock and various discussions.

But with Lan Xiao's decision, a tense atmosphere filled the entire hall.

"Shadow Sect?"

An Luofeng looked at Lan Xiao with a puzzled expression, "Who are they?"

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed and he recalled what happened in Qingfeng Village before.

At that time, Hanxue once mentioned the Shadow Sect, which seemed to be a force hiding in the dark.

"Lan Xiao, why do you want to return the badge to them?"

"Who are they?" Taishang Daozu asked first.

Lan Xiao was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I received a letter earlier, a messenger from the Shadow Sect."

"The letter told me that the Red Lotus Sect is not the real enemy, but a larger force hiding in the dark."

Everyone's heart skipped a beat when they heard this.

Mo Lie also came over, waiting expectantly for the details.

"The messenger told me that the Red Lotus Sect is just a tool used by the Shadow Sect to attract attention and divide our attention."

"Their purpose is to obtain a legendary treasure." Lan Xiao said in a heavy tone.

"Treasure?" Everyone was surprised and confused.

Lan Xiao nodded: "This treasure is said to have infinite power and can change the entire fairy world."

Hearing these words, everyone's faces showed solemn expressions.

They finally understood that the reason why Lingxiao Temple was determined to silence all those who might resist them was to obtain this treasure. In the Cangqiong Sanctuary, a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone.

Xia Lingyun felt that the chaotic scene needed to be re-stabilized and unified. He hoped to ease the situation and find a better solution.

The Tianfeng Swordsman stood in front of Hanxue, staring at her firmly.

He successfully suppressed Hanxue so that she could not fight back.

"You have to hand over cold blood!"

"Otherwise we will have to act out of necessity."

There was determination and majesty in his voice.

Xia Lingyun was hesitant.

He knew that handing over Han Xue might be able to calm down the current crisis, but it would also cause harm to Lu Yuan and others.

"Lord Tianfeng Swordsman, please give me some time."

He tried to ease the tense atmosphere, "I will find a way to solve this problem."

The Tianfeng Swordsman was silent for a moment and nodded in understanding.

As a smart and responsible person, Xia Lingyun always finds the best solution.

But at the same time, he also knows the power and meaning of his existence.

Xia Lingyun turned to everyone, "What should we do?"

"While I don't want to see anyone get hurt, the crisis is real."

Lu Yuan clenched the Tiangang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand with a firm gaze.

"We cannot give in to fear and threats!"

"We are fighting for justice."

Su Liyan stood next to Lu Yuan, waving her ice crystal whip with a firm gaze.

"We have the responsibility to protect the interests of the Shadow Sect and not let the Red Lotus Sect succeed."

An Luofeng looked at everyone quietly, knowing in her heart that she had to make a choice, "We can't let the Red Lotus Sect destroy the Cangqiong Sanctuary."

"Now it seems that I can only rely on myself." Everyone was silent for a moment, watching Xia Lingyun's expression, waiting for his decision. Xia Lingyun fell into thinking. Looking at the nervous faces of everyone, he deeply felt the weight of the heavy tasks and responsibilities at this moment.

Just when the atmosphere became tense, a brisk figure flashed over.

Mody flew down from the sky and landed in front of everyone, "Don't embarrass you."

He smiled and spoke.

Everyone turned to look at him, astonished.

"I have a proposal that might solve our current predicament."

Mody looked around, and it was obvious that he had already considered this plan, "We can give the phantom fire to Qingyun Pavilion and Tianfeng Swordsman as compensation."

"what?!"

Upon hearing this proposal, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were stunned at the same time.

An Luofeng raised his head and looked at Mody, "Is this... feasible?"

"The Phantom Fire is a very important treasure to us."

Mody smiled and said: "Yes, phantom fire is not an ordinary treasure."

"However, at this special moment, if you can use phantom fire as compensation, it is undoubtedly the best choice."

"This can not only appease the emotions of Qingyun Pavilion and Tianfeng Swordsman, but also avoid greater trouble."

Xia Lingyun frowned. He understood Mody's intention, but he still felt hesitant about handing over the phantom fire.

Phantom fire is not only a precious treasure, but also an existence of great significance in the world of cultivation.

It possesses endless immortal power and is of inestimable value to cultivators.

Lu Yuan glanced at Su Liyan, and he could see hesitation and worry in her eyes.

"The Phantom Fire is too important to us. If we hand it over, it may have unpredictable consequences." Lu Yuan frowned, realizing that Mody's proposal was indeed somewhat feasible.

If the phantom fire can be handed over to Qingyun Pavilion and Tianfeng Swordsman as compensation, it may be able to calm their anger and avoid greater disputes.

However, the cherishment of the phantom fire in his heart made it difficult for him to make a decision.

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan's expression and knew that he must be conflicted inside.

She patted Lu Yuan's shoulder lightly and signaled him not to get too entangled, "We need to consider the overall situation."

She whispered, "If we can protect the Holy Sky Realm in this way, then it may be worth giving up the Phantom Fire."

Xia Lingyun watched everyone make a difficult decision and knew that this proposal had become the only feasible way at this time.

"Since everyone thinks this is the best choice, let's do as Mody said."

He sighed, "Just think of the phantom fire as the sacrifice we make to protect the Holy Land of the Sky."

Mody smiled and nodded, "Sometimes sacrifices are necessary."

He turned to look at Meteor Rain, "We will set a time limit for this. If Shadow Sect cannot provide a satisfactory answer within the specified time, Qingyun Pavilion and its allies will launch a joint attack."

Meteor Rain took a deep breath, a look of helplessness flashed across his face.

He tried to protect Han Xue from being implicated, but reality told him that he could only accept this ending.

"I will try my best to persuade the Shadow Sect." He said solemnly.

"it is good."

Xia Lingyun nodded, "Modi, please lead some of your companions to the Holy Land of the Sky."

"Monitor the movements of the Shadow Sect and ensure they adhere to the prescribed time limits."

Mody smiled and bowed, "Thanks to Mr. Xia's love, Mody will do his best."

Lu Yuan, Su Liyan and An Luofeng looked at Modi's leaving figure with heavy hearts.

Although this choice made everyone feel unwilling, they knew that in the face of such a dangerous situation, this was the only way to protect the Cangqiong Sanctuary. Lu Yuan came alone to a secret room in Tianqi Valley, where he communicated with Taishang Daozu. (End of chapter)
