I can gather experience beads

In Hongzhou, the Demon-Slaying Alliance headquarters, the atmosphere was solemn and tense.

Although the arrival of the Black Wind Valley brought a little comfort to the Hongzhou front, Lingxiao Sword Master and Cao Rui both knew clearly that this force was too weak and far from enough to change the current situation of the war.

New decisions must be made to change the current situation.

Lingxiao Sword Master was hesitant, but Cao Rui had already made up his mind.

The next day, the sun was shining and the breeze was gentle.

Cao Rui decided to hold a meeting and, in his capacity as the Pure World Heavenly Venerable, made Ling Xiao Sword Master make up his mind once and for all.

Otherwise, the Demon-Slaying Alliance would suffer a crushing defeat, which would be of no benefit to him!

After a long time, Cao Rui once again started the second gathering to purify the world.

All the members holding the Purification Tokens received reminders of the gathering.

They were either practicing or handling affairs, but at this moment they all stopped what they were doing, looked for a suitable position, and waited for the gathering to begin.

After everyone confirmed that they could attend the meeting, Cao Rui took a deep breath and officially opened the channel for his spiritual consciousness to enter.

......

Ningzhou.

Shang Yueling was lazily lying on her flower chair, playing with the Pure World Token she had just obtained in her hand.

Below, the Dark Moon Demon Sect's elder Ye Wusong secretly looked at Shang Yue Ling, who was unconsciously revealing a hint of charm, and swallowed his saliva from time to time.

His eyes suddenly fell on the transparent jade pendant in Shang Yueling's hand.

"Hmm? I've never seen this jade pendant in the hands of the sect master before."

"What is this? Could it be the man from the day before yesterday..." Ye Wusong felt extremely jealous. The middle-aged man was indeed extraordinary in appearance and his temperament was also extremely outstanding.

Grand Elder, could it be that you were reminded of your past by the sight of the object?

Ye Wusong's thoughts were in a mess.

Shang Yue Ling, who was holding the Pure World Token, was suddenly shocked. She felt the gathering information transmitted from the token, "Is it starting now..."

"It's really great to be able to cross the barriers and bring together monks from all states!"

Shang Yueling's figure flashed and she entered the secret training room like a ghost.

Leaving Ye Wusong in the distance feeling lost...

She took a deep breath, looked determined, and concentrated her magic power to click to confirm her participation in the meeting.

Almost instantly, a mysterious entrance that allowed divine consciousness to enter appeared on the Purification Token, like a passage leading to an unknown world.

This entrance exudes a faint sucking force, as if summoning Shang Yueling's consciousness.

A look of excitement appeared on Shang Yueling's face, and she did not hesitate to separate a wisp of her spiritual consciousness, allowing it to quickly leave along with the sucking force.

Her consciousness followed this divine consciousness closely, as if traveling through an endless tunnel of time and space.

After a strange feeling, Shang Yueling was surprised to find herself in a chaos.

She looked down at her current body, which looked exactly like her original self, but was made entirely of energy.

She moved her fingers slightly, which immediately caused fluctuations in the surrounding energy. This wonderful experience made her feel extremely novel.

Shang Yueling glanced around and saw jade pillars emitting an ancient aura standing in the chaotic space.

These jade pillars tower into the clouds, as if connecting heaven and earth, giving people a sense of solemnity.

Below the jade pillar, rows of jade cushions are placed symmetrically on both sides in an orderly manner.

She was currently sitting in the third position on the left side of the bed, quietly observing everything around her.

And right above all the jade cushions, a towering fairy chair stands tall.

Sitting on the fairy chair was a middle-aged man, who exuded an otherworldly aura, as if he was a fairy who had descended to earth.

Shang Yueling recognized at a glance that this person was the incarnation monk whom she had met before - Jingshi Tianzun.

Just as Shang Yueling was about to speak, a buzzing sound suddenly came from all around.

Then, multiple energy figures appeared on the jade mat one after another. Their figures flickered and gradually solidified, showing their unique temperament and image.

On the first seat on the left sat a Taoist priest with a fierce aura. He was wearing a Taoist robe, holding a sword with awe-inspiring intent and eyes as sharp as lightning, making people dare not look directly at him.

Sitting on the second jade cushion was a skinny old man. He looked sickly, but his eyes were extremely bright.

On the opposite jade mat, there were also two monks sitting. One of them was wearing a black robe, and had an elegant temperament, quite like a scholar; the other looked very young, with a handsome face and a calm expression, and his every move showed his erudition and confidence.

The young man met Shang Yueling's gaze and nodded to her slightly. Shang Yueling smiled sweetly in return.

The Pure World Heavenly Venerable clapped his hands lightly, and the crisp applause echoed in the hall, successfully attracting everyone's attention to him. He smiled and looked at everyone.

"I convened the Purification Assembly today for two purposes."

"The first purpose, as everyone has seen, is that we have a new person in this gathering, Shang Yueling. Please introduce yourself to everyone." His eyes fell on Shang Yueling.

Upon hearing this, Shang Yueling slowly stood up. Her figure was graceful, like a blooming flower.

She bowed slightly to everyone, then said softly: "Everyone, my name is Shang Yue Ling, and I am the supreme elder of the Dark Moon Demon Sect in Ningzhou, and a cultivator in the late Nascent Soul stage." Her voice was soft and gentle, like the sound of nature, which made people intoxicated.

However, when she said the word "Demon Sect", the whole scene fell into silence.

Everyone's eyes were focused on Shang Yueling. Wan Changchun's face showed obvious disgust, while Cao Rui looked incredulous.

Orthodox monks all have deep prejudice and hostility towards the word "Demonic Sect".

At this time, Cao Rui, the leader of the Spirit Beast Sect, could no longer hold back and asked directly, "Tianzun, why do you want to attract demon cultivators to join our organization?"

The Pure World Heavenly Master smiled and replied calmly, "Shang Yue Ling has not yet officially joined our organization. This gathering is for everyone to vote on whether she is qualified to become a member of the Pure World."

Shang Yueling chuckled, took the initiative, and said in a delicate voice: "My dear brother, what is your name?"

Cao Rui frowned slightly, but still politely bowed and said, "I am Cao Rui." He muttered to himself, "Forget it, this is all just for show, it doesn't matter if you call me your brother."

Shang Yueling continued with a smile and said, "Brother Cao, why do you have to be prejudiced against demon cultivators? The demons are now powerful, and the cultivators of the Qingqiong Realm should unite and fight against the demons together. Tianzun is willing to invite me to join the Pure World because he has seen my hatred and murderous intent towards the demons and thinks that I am also someone who can cooperate with him."

She paused, looked at everyone, and promised solemnly: "Everyone, please believe me, I will never use any magic cultivation methods in front of you before the demons are destroyed."

Hearing this, Wan Changchun and Black Mountain Patriarch looked at each other and frowned slightly. After all, their impression of the demon cultivators was too bad.

But at this moment, Lingxiao Sword Master, who had just experienced the events of the four sects of Xiazhou, felt a sense of emotion in his heart.

He stood up and said, "I think what the fairy said is very right. At this critical moment in the Qingqiong Realm, anyone who can jointly resist the demons is our ally."

After saying this, he turned to look at Shang Yueling and asked directly: "Fairy Shang, how many people are you willing to send to the front line?"

Shang Yueling was slightly stunned when she heard this, obviously not expecting Lingxiao Sword Master to ask this question so directly.

She looked at Ling Xiao Jian Zu in surprise, then bowed and said, "What should I call this fellow Taoist?"

Ling Xiao Sword Ancestor answered frankly: "I am Ling Xiao Sword Ancestor."

Upon hearing this name, Shang Yueling's eyes suddenly lit up, because she had learned from Jingshi Tianzun about Lingxiao Sword Ancestor's powerful combat ability and his current position in the demon-slaying front.

She couldn't help but sigh: "So he is the current demon-killing commander of the Qingqiong Realm!"

Shang Yueling thought for a moment and said, "On a chosen day, I will personally lead two Nascent Soul cultivators to the front lines to provide support for a period of time. Alliance leader, what do you think?"

Ling Xiao Jian Zu nodded slightly to show his approval and said, "That's great. Fairy Shang is willing to join the Pure World Alliance. This is a great help to us."

Cao Rui then stated: "Since Sword Ancestor has agreed, I naturally have no objection." His firm attitude showed his respect for Sword Ancestor Lingxiao.

Wan Changchun and Black Mountain Patriarch also expressed their support, and they were willing to follow Lingxiao Sword Patriarch's decision.

Shang Yueling covered her mouth slightly and let out a silver bell-like laugh: "In that case, thank you all fellow Taoists and my younger brother." Her gaze finally fell on Cao Rui, as if she wanted to compete with him intentionally.

Cao Rui had no expression on his face and did not respond.

The Pure World Celestial Master sitting on the jade chair at the head of the group finally made the decision and said, "Shang Yue Ling, since everyone agrees, from today on, you will officially be a member of the Pure World."

His voice was calm and firm, as if he had already decided everything. Shang Yueling bowed slightly, her eyes flashing with excitement and anticipation.

"There are no special rules for the Pure World, but we don't want anyone to break the principle of mutual assistance and mutual benefit."

Tianzun continued to speak, and when he finished speaking, his spiritual cultivation level shook slightly, making people feel an invisible pressure.

Shang Yueling's heart tightened. She knew what this meant and understood that she must abide by this principle.

Shang Yueling replied solemnly: "I understand."

"Okay, then, let's talk about the second topic."

Everyone looked towards the Pure World Heavenly Master, their eyes revealing anticipation and speculation.

The Pure World Heavenly Venerable slowly stood up, his eyes swept across the entire place, and finally landed on Ling Xiao Jian Zu, and said lightly: "Ling Xiao, next you need to lead the Demon Slayer Alliance to abandon Hongzhou and move the defense line to Huazhou."

Hearing this, Lingxiao Jianzu was slightly startled, with a hint of surprise and hesitation in his eyes.

But he soon regained his composure and did not refute.

Because he actually knew very well that the current situation was serious. The continuous attacks of the demons after the third teleportation made it difficult for the Demon-Slaying Alliance to resist.

If this continues, the main force of the Demon-Slaying Alliance will be completely consumed sooner or later.

Deep down in his heart, Lingxiao Sword Ancestor understood that Jingshi Tianzun's proposal was a wise move.

By retreating to Huazhou, they can use the new natural barrier to delay the demons' attack and buy precious breathing time for the Demon-Slaying Alliance.

During this period, the monks can cultivate a new generation of forces and improve their overall strength.

At the same time, Lord Jingshi continued to use his own means to seek help from other states, which could also enhance the resistance of the entire Qingqiong Realm.

Although this decision was difficult, Lingxiao Sword Master knew that this was the only feasible option at the moment.

He secretly felt fortunate that the Pure World Heavenly Master helped him make this difficult decision and broke through this window paper.

If he were to make the decision himself, it would be difficult for him to make such a decision given his position.

So he took a deep breath and nodded to show his acceptance.

Although the others present were somewhat surprised, after careful consideration, they all understood the necessity of this decision.

They also expressed their support. Shang Yueling's eyes flickered. She had just entered the Pure World and didn't know much about the things on the front line, so she didn't express any opinions and just listened.

"Your Majesty, I will start arranging this matter as soon as I return." Lingxiao Sword Master bowed and said.

The Pure World Heavenly Venerable nodded slightly, and said with a cold look in his eyes: "All teleportation arrays must be destroyed, just in case. All things that are beneficial to the demons must be destroyed! There must be no hidden dangers left."

Then he continued, "In addition, the group of cultivators in Xiazhou want to live alone in the world and watch from the sidelines. This selfish behavior that disregards the overall situation has seriously damaged the morale of the cultivators in the Qingqiong Realm. This kind of trend must be severely cracked down on and must not be tolerated." His tone became increasingly cold.

After a pause, he looked at Ling Xiao, a faint smile flashed in his eyes: "Ling Xiao, when you retreat, you can quietly leak to the Blue Hole Demon Clan the fact that the Xiazhou cultivators and the Demon-Slaying Alliance are not allies, and even have some conflicts. In this way, when the Demon Clan chooses the three states near Hongzhou as the next target of their attack, they will definitely choose the isolated Xiazhou."

"Xiahou is just standing by and watching today. If he is surrounded someday, the Alliance will definitely not come to his rescue."

"This way, with Xiazhou's delay, our alliance will have more time to rest and prepare."

After hearing this, the monks present couldn't help but feel a little scared in their hearts.

Xindao Jingshi Tianzun is not only powerful and unparalleled in combat power, but also has a deep mind and ruthless methods.

However, this kind of performance of the Pure World God is more in line with everyone's expectations of him.

After all, only those with a ruthless mind and swift means can survive in the world of immortal cultivation and become a truly strong person.

Otherwise, if one is just a simple-minded person, how can he be promoted to the realm of transformation?
