I was almost eaten at the beginning, luckily I was able to transfer the negative status

Seeing everyone sitting down.

As the host, Zhou Heng did not delay too much and immediately got straight to the point:

"In less than a month, our Bolan Territory's once-in-a-decade demon-slaying convention will be held.

Originally, this demon-killing conference should have been hosted by Qingsong Academy, but they are so evil that I have no choice but to enforce justice on their behalf. Therefore, I will temporarily be the host of this demon-killing conference.

To be honest with you fellow Taoists, I have always been kind-hearted and peace-loving, so I have often traveled around the continents and many large regions to do justice.

Therefore, I have not been in the Bolan Domain for a long time, and I don’t know much about the specific rules of the Bolan Domain’s previous demon-killing conference.

The reason why I have gathered all the fellow Taoists together today is that I hope they can speak freely and discuss in detail how to arrange this demon-eliminating conference.

Okay, that's all I have to say for now. Does anyone want to speak?"

As Zhou Heng's voice fell.

Everyone in the hall fell silent.

Except for Ji Lingdong, everyone looked at each other nervously in silence.

After all, Zhou Heng's notoriety was widespread, and four Super Eight warriors had died at his hands. The people present were only Super Sevens, and they really didn't dare to speak easily, for fear of causing his displeasure.

After a while.

Just as the atmosphere in the reception hall was becoming increasingly awkward.

Ji Lingdong suddenly coughed twice and spoke slowly:

"The Demon-Slaying Conference is of great importance to our coastal Bolan Region, and we absolutely cannot slack off.

My cultivation is shallow and my knowledge is limited, so I will speak first. If there is anything I have missed, I welcome your corrections."

"Okay, then let Fellow Daoist Ji speak first."

Zhou Heng nodded with a smile on his face.

See this.

Ji Lingdong continued without hesitation:

“In the past, our Bolang Territory’s demon-slaying conferences were always led by sects, gathering practitioners from mortal cities to jointly eliminate the many spirits and monsters in the coastal areas.

Under normal circumstances, in order to prevent sea monsters from causing riots, the demon-killing conference targets lower-level spirits and middle-level monsters.

As for those higher-level monsters, as long as they don't take the initiative to approach the offshore area of ​​our Bolan Domain, we higher-level practitioners will not go deep into the sea to hunt them.

However, the situation this time is somewhat special. According to reliable information we have received, in recent times, the aura of high-level monsters has frequently appeared in the offshore area near our Bolan Domain for some unknown reason.

Those high-level monsters that appeared for unknown reasons are likely to have a significant impact on our monster-killing conference.

If we engage in a battle with higher-level monsters and kill too many of them, it is very likely that a tide of sea monsters will gradually develop and invade the Wave Domain.

I wonder if you fellow Taoists have any solution to this problem?"

"This……"

Hearing Ji Lingdong say this.

Everyone present couldn't help but fall into silence for a long time.

Everyone present was aware of the news of the frequent appearance of high-level monsters in the offshore area, which was the main reason why they insisted on asking Zhou Heng to preside over this monster-eliminating conference.

Otherwise, in order to avoid being associated with the dangerous Zhou Heng, they could have held a demon-killing conference based on past experience, without having to inform Zhou Heng at all.

Even if Zhou Heng might get angry about this matter afterwards, they could easily use the excuse that they were not familiar with him and therefore did not dare to disturb his meditation.

After everyone pondered for dozens of breaths.

Yuanyue Zhenren, the person in charge of Luopu Valley who practices Gu Dao, slowly said:

“There are many powerful monsters in the sea, and if a beast tide forms, it will invade the Wave Region.

Although we, the higher-level practitioners, are safe and sound, our forces rooted in the Wave Domain are likely to suffer a huge blow.

Therefore, Yuan thinks that this demon-killing conference should either be held as usual, or we should spend more time resisting and expelling those higher-level demons during the conference, and try not to kill them. This way, we may not cause them to go crazy and launch a beast tide.

If this doesn't work, then for safety reasons, this demon-killing convention will be postponed for a while until those higher-level demons no longer frequently approach the offshore area."

"The demon-killing conference must not be postponed."

As soon as Yuanyue Zhenren finished speaking, Qi Bin, the head of Donglin Academy, immediately spoke out:

"The arrangement of holding a demon-killing convention every ten years wasn't just a random decision.

This time arrangement is the most reasonable time interval gradually calculated by countless of our ancestors over a long period of time.

If this time interval is too short, the number of sea monsters and demons will drop sharply, causing those powerful demons to lose their food source, and thus triggering a beast tide invasion.

If this time interval is too long, the number of sea monsters and demons will increase dramatically, causing excessive consumption of evil spirits in the sea.

Once the evil energy in the sea is consumed too much, those powerful monsters will definitely drive the excessive monsters and demons out to sea in order to ensure the concentration of the evil energy in the sea, which will then trigger a beast tide invasion.

Therefore, the time of the Demon-Exorcism Conference must not be changed, otherwise there will be endless troubles."

"Amitabha, what the great scholar Qi Bin said is absolutely right."

Miaokong Bodhisattva, the head of Jin'en Temple who practices Buddhism, nodded in agreement:

“The purpose of those high-level monsters that frequently approach offshore areas is unknown.

If I were to wait for them to leave on their own, I don't know how long I would have to wait.

Moreover, the holding of the Demon-Extermination Conference is not only related to the stability of our Bolan Domain.

If our Bolang Territory's demon-killing convention cannot be held as scheduled, causing an imbalance in the number of sea monsters, it may then affect other large sea-based territories."

"If that's the case, then don't we have any choice but to hold the demon-killing conference as scheduled and constantly be on the lookout for those higher-level demons?

But if this happens, we may not be able to resist it in the end.

After all, according to the information we have obtained so far, among the high-level monsters that have frequently approached the coastal area of ​​our Bolan Domain during this period, not to mention the monster kings above the eighth level, there are more than a hundred big monsters above the seventh level alone.

There are so many high-level monsters. If they happen to approach the sea during our demon-killing convention, we might not be able to resist them."

Ren Chuanxushen, the head of the Dark Night Temple that practices Shintoism, said with some concern.

Hear this.

Everyone present fell into deathly silence again. Hundreds of great demons at the super-seventh level were simply not something that a dozen or so of them could deal with.

Not to mention that there are traces of super eighth-level demon kings among the higher-level demons near the offshore area.
