After hearing what the sect master said, the spy kneeling in the center of the hall hesitated to speak.
"If you have anything to say, it's okay to say it. In such a life-and-death situation, what's the taboo?"
"Thank you, Sect Master. When the villain left, the young master from Tiangong personally led nearly a hundred Star Lords from Tiangong and 30,000 heavenly soldiers from various tribes to the central boundary line to take charge."
"And he threatened that anyone who dares to rescue Taixuan Zong will be equivalent to declaring war on Tiangong, and both sides will fight to the death!"
When Taixuan Sect Master heard this, he slumped down on his chair.
"And while the villain was on his way to return the letter, he also received a message."
"What's the news? Tell me quickly."
"After hearing this, the two major sects, Holy Sword Sect and Holy Sword Sect, also sent out all their elites to the middle boundary line to join the Tiangong, and other sects also expressed their response to Tiangong's call."
"They are all just on the outside. Now that Tiangong is powerful, they have all joined in. They have forgotten how they looked down on Tiangong in the first place."
Taixuan Sect Master looked at the spies kneeling on the ground with disgust. All the news they brought back was bad news, and none of them was exciting information.
"Sect Master, Tiangong is powerful and we are invincible. Now before they arrive, you have to make a decision early."
"The elder Taishang means..."
"Break it into pieces and leave the green hills behind, so you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. When we make a comeback in the future, we will definitely pay back the shame of today twice as much."
Although the Supreme Elder's words were high-sounding, everyone in the crowd who was not a "fox" for thousands of years understood the true meaning.
That is, before the Heavenly Palace arrives, everyone should seize the time and run.
Just when the Taixuan Sect Master was about to agree with the Supreme Elder's opinion and announce that everyone should run away, the spy who was kneeling on the ground spoke again.
"I'm afraid it's too late to evacuate now."
After hearing his words, countless murderous eyes in the hall focused on him, and then pressed his whole body to the ground.
In fact, the spy also complained that he was wronged, and he did not want to wipe out the "Ya Xing" of the elders' escape, but if he did not report truthfully, he would be the one who died when they discovered the truth.
"What's going on? It's better to tell the truth."
In the end, it was the Supreme Elder who realized something was wrong and hurriedly asked everyone to withdraw their pressure and let the spies, who were almost scared to death, explain their reasons.
He was now soaked to the skin. As the scout leader of Taixuan Sect, although he was also a Martial Emperor warrior, the lowest level among the elders in the hall was that of a Martial Saint warrior.
How could he withstand so much pressure? Fortunately, the Supreme Elder discovered it in time, otherwise he would be in mourning now.
"The Southern Territory has now been completely blocked, and other sects in the Southern Territory have also expressed their willingness to respond to Tiangong's call and jointly attack the sects."
"The Southern Territory is blocked? How is this possible?"
Taixuan Sect Master asked in disbelief.
"Tiangong has set up formations in all the outward passages of the Southern Territory in advance, so now the Southern Territory can enter but not exit."
After hearing what he said, the elders were like deflated rubber balls and became spiritless.
"besides······"
"besides?"
Before the spy could finish his words, he was interrupted by the Taixuan Sect Master. He found that the person in front of him was like a dead star, and the news he brought back was worse than the last.
But he never thought about the reason for this result.
"It's okay, don't be nervous, tell me all the information you know."
In the end, it was the Supreme Elder who came forward to smooth things over and signaled him to continue.
"Tiangong has arrested all the descendants of the elders who were sent to the Central Region and other places, saying that they will be condemned together with you in the future."
His words were like a hurricane blowing up in the hall. A grumpy elder failed to control his aura and was first knocked out. He was seriously injured and fell to the ground.
Although all the news he brought back was "bad news," no news was more impactful than this one.
But the spy felt very relieved.
"They clamor to live and die with the sect every day, but their families have been transferred away early. From their behavior just now, if Tiangong didn't accept surrender, I'm afraid these people would have knelt down and begged for mercy."
"If I had known that the top leaders of the sect had this kind of character, I shouldn't have risked my life to rush back to report the news. I might as well have hidden myself in the Eastern Region."
Although he was extremely regretful in his heart, there was no chance of regret now.
"There must be spies from Tiangong in the sect, otherwise how could Tiangong know the whereabouts of our family members."
"I think Hong Lie is very suspicious. Otherwise, why would he take his disciples to escape in advance?"
Although some wise elders knew that they were avenging private revenge, the descendants of each family were secretly sent away.
How do outsiders know whereabouts?
It's just that under the current situation, no one is willing to stand up for Hong Lie, let alone speak out for justice.
Seeing that everyone was going to change the subject again, the Supreme Elder hurriedly came to the spy's side, and a burst of true energy flowed through, stabilizing his injuries.
"Do you have any evidence for what you said? How can you be sure that Tiangong has arrested the family members of the elders?"
"Tiangong has released a list, which has spread throughout the Eastern and Central Regions."
"List? Do you have this list?"
The spy casually took out a scroll from his storage ring and handed it to the Supreme Elder.
Seeing the Supreme Elder opening the scroll, the others hurriedly came over. When they saw the names on it, their faces became increasingly ugly.
The elders who were still a little lucky now completely changed their colors.
The children they transferred were born from a secret lover. It was a secret matter in itself. Not many people knew about it. How did the Tiangong find it?
They never expected that even though they were illegitimate children, they would perfectly inherit their arrogant and domineering characters, and they were afraid that others would not know that they had a powerful father.
If these people can live a low-key life in the Central Territory, it will not be easy for Tiangong to find them.
However, these children all uphold the true character of the little bully and "shine" in a high-profile manner. It is difficult for the God Catcher to find them.
"As a hegemonic power, Tiangong arrests people's children, which is beneath their status."
"We all belong to the Righteous Alliance. If there is anything that cannot be resolved through discussion, why go to war?"
"If we choose to submit to Tiangong now, will we be able to reverse the unfavorable situation?"
The "spy", whose injuries had just been stabilized, almost went crazy due to the shocking remarks of the elders.
The image that was originally so tall in his mind collapsed one by one.
If he still doesn't understand what these elders are who shout "for the sect" every day, then his life has really been in vain.
The senior officials of Taixuanzong were also extremely aggrieved. Not only had the maximum profit they originally planned not been achieved, but now it was very likely that the entire army would be wiped out.
They didn't expect Tiangong to move so quickly and seal off the southern region so quickly, completely cutting off their escape route.
"Great Elder, is it possible that the Black Clothes Sect will start a decisive battle with Tiangong over this?"
Originally, everyone was frightened by the strength and scale of Tiangong and had no hope of rescue, but now the Black Sect has become their only life-saving straw.
Everyone had to rekindle their hopes for the Black Religion.
"The Holy Son will never abandon us."
Not sure whether it was to boost morale or to motivate himself, Su Chang almost patted his chest and assured everyone.
But the Holy Son, who he had high hopes for, was destined to disappoint him.
Naturally, Tiangong's big moves could not be hidden from the Black Clothes Sect, and the current elders no longer were as arrogant as before.
"How can Tiangong be so powerful?"
"I didn't expect that this was really a trap. Fortunately, Taixuanzong helped us verify it, otherwise we would have fallen into the other party's trick."
"Now that they have Chen Bing at the mid-boundary line, how should we respond?"
After saying this, all the elders' eyes were focused on Shi Zhixuan.
Now everyone is more and more admiring of this "uncanny" elder. This situation also makes Wu Yufei jealous, but there is nothing he can do.
"The Holy Cult should be quiet now and should not move. The more frequent Tiangong's actions are, the more they will be exposed. It also gives us the opportunity to observe, which is of great benefit to understanding our opponents."
The elders were originally shocked by Tiangong's powerful strength, but now they suddenly felt brighter after hearing Shi Zhixuan's analysis.
Even the grumpy fifth elder found the "slow and slow" elder to be so cute.
"If we don't take any action, won't we just sit back and watch Tiangong annex the Southern Territory and increase our own strength?"
Wu Yufei couldn't help but stand up and challenge Shi Zhixuan.
"First of all, the Southern Territory itself is not the sphere of influence of the Holy Religion. It has never been owned in the first place, so it cannot be said to be lost."
"Furthermore, Taixuanzong itself is the chess piece we throw to test Tiangong. Everything is according to the plan. They have completed the task very well. If they can weaken Tiangong, it is naturally good. If not, it doesn't matter."
"So I don't quite understand what the core meaning of the Holy Son is?"
Faced with Wu Yufei's repeated attacks, Shi Zhixuan no longer chose to tolerate it. He needed to show the majesty of the Great Elder.
"I really don't think I have a temper. If it weren't for the sake of your usefulness, I would take you to reunite with the previous Holy Son."
Wu Yufei didn't know what Shi Zhixuan was thinking, and he was caught off guard by the opponent's counterattack. He also didn't expect the great elder's words to be so sharp.
"Does the Holy Son still care about Taixuan Sect? You must know that you are no longer a direct disciple of the small sect in the Southern Region, but the Holy Son of the Black Clothes Sect, the dominant force in the mainland."
The fifth elder would never miss the opportunity to step on Wu Yufei at any time.
"Master, the Holy Cult is now wary of each other. They will not choose to attack proactively, and we will not enter the Wolong Mountains. The two have just formed a balance of power."
Shi Zhixuan no longer wanted to pay attention to Wu Yufei, but took the initiative to discuss the future situation with Yu Mao.
The leader in black naturally understood the meaning of his words.
