I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

The small, private teahouse was now filled with representatives of the most powerful forces in the Spirit Realm, and the atmosphere was so heavy it was almost palpable.

Sect Leader Ye nodded: "It's alright, take a look at this first."

He briefly explained the situation again and handed the jade slip to the three people to read.

After a moment, Mu Yaoyao spoke first, her voice clear yet solemn: "In that case, the danger of this Abyss of Corruption is even greater than the previous turmoil in the Demon Abyss. Its ability to infinitely split, devour, and grow, if left unchecked, could threaten the destruction of the Spirit Realm. Our Heaven-Mending Holy Sect is willing to do everything in its power to help us fight against this demon."

Chu Huai spoke succinctly and resolutely: "Xuantian Sect has an inescapable duty. As for what needs to be done, Sect Leader Ye and Sect Leader Su can give their instructions."

His eyes were sharp; he already regarded this matter as a scourge that had to be eliminated.

Lin Ruowei readily agreed, "This thing is deeply demonic and filled with malevolent energy. Our entire Zixiao Pure Courtyard will also do our utmost to help!"

Seeing the three major sects express their stance, Sect Master Ye felt somewhat relieved, and Su Hongzhen's tense expression also eased a little.

At least on the point that a formidable enemy is at hand, all parties quickly reached a consensus.

"Good!" Seeing that all parties had a clear attitude, Sect Master Ye's spirits lifted. "Since everyone is well aware of the advantages and disadvantages, we need to formulate a plan as soon as possible. Time waits for no one. The longer the Erosion Abyss stays in the barrier, the stronger it becomes."

He glanced at everyone present and said in a deep voice, "First of all, we must immediately reinforce the barrier of the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts! With only the Nine Heavens Demon Subduing Formation and the two sect-protecting magic treasures of my Qingfeng Feather Sect, I'm afraid it will be difficult to hold out for long. We need everyone's combined efforts."

Su Hongzhen readily agreed, saying, "Our Qingcheng Yufa Sect can dispatch more elite array masters with the Burning Heaven Array Diagram to integrate the power of pure Yang True Fire into the barrier, burning away the demonic energy that is eroding the barrier, which can at least slow down its corrosion rate."

Chu Huai nodded, his voice steady: "Xuantian Sect can send elders who are skilled in Xuan Yuan Heavy Water to use the most Yin and gentle water energy to penetrate the gaps in the barrier, fill the loopholes, and neutralize some of the activity of the demonic energy with its unique penetrating and purifying properties."

Mu Yaoyao parted her lips slightly: "My Heaven-Mending Holy Sect can have its disciples set up the Spirit Crane Soaring Formation, using the spirit of the crane to communicate with the pure energy of heaven and earth, enhance the purity and activity of the spiritual energy within the barrier, make it more resilient, and to a certain extent interfere with the condensation of demonic energy."

Lin Ruowei nodded slightly, her voice clear yet powerful: "My Zixiao Pure Courtyard is skilled in the art of metal and fire, and can immediately deploy the Gilded Demon-Binding Rope and the Crimson Flame Incinerating Array. Metal is associated with killing and can imprison and tear apart demons; fire is associated with destruction and can burn away evil and filth. The combination of the two can precisely target the splitting and devouring characteristics of the Erosion Abyss, strengthening the barrier's suppression and purification of demonic energy."

Her golden fire power possesses both sharpness and explosiveness, making it extremely effective against monsters.

Mingchuan tapped the table lightly with his knuckles, drawing everyone's attention: "Your plans are excellent, with complementary attributes. If you can coordinate your deployment, the barrier should be stable for a while. However, this is only a temporary solution, not a fundamental one."

He turned his gaze to Sect Master Ye and Su Hongzhen: "The most urgent task is to find a method, which may exist in ancient texts, to completely seal or destroy the Abyss during this period of stabilization of the barrier. I suggest that a joint task force be immediately established, with elders or core disciples from each sect who are proficient in ancient texts, runes, and formations, to concentrate all resources and work together to tackle this matter!"

At the same time, intelligence networks from all sides must operate at full capacity, searching for any clues that may be related to the Abyss and the Ancient Seal, no matter how small, none can be overlooked!

Sect Leader Ye immediately agreed: "Elder Cang is absolutely right! Searching for ancient texts and finding solutions is of paramount importance!"

Su Hongzhen nodded in agreement: "Alright. Our sect's library will also open relevant areas for the joint team to consult."

Chu Huai, Mu Yaoyao, and Lin Ruowei also expressed their full support for the establishment and operation of the joint group.

"Secondly," Mingchuan continued, his thoughts clear, "we need to immediately form a coalition army, composed of elite disciples from each sect, under the unified command of a reliable person. Its tasks are twofold: first, to eliminate any Eclipse Abyss offspring that may have escaped the barrier or are active outside the valley, preventing them from continuing to grow and wreak havoc; second, to be on standby at all times, ready to be deployed as the first wave of force to fight should a method be found or the barrier be threatened!"

A fighting spirit flashed in Chu Huai's eyes: "In this matter, the disciples of my Xuantian Sect can take the lead!"

Mu Yaoyao and Lin Ruowei also indicated that they would send their capable disciples to participate in the allied forces.

Sect Leader Ye looked at Su Hongzhen: "Sect Leader Su, the commander of the allied forces must be of high moral character and profound cultivation. What do you think..."

Su Hongzhen pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping over everyone present before finally settling on Mingchuan: "Zi'ang, you are meticulous and your cultivation is also extraordinary. You have previously been in charge of coordination within the sect. He will temporarily take command of the allied forces this time. What do you all think?"

Sect Leader Ye's heart stirred, realizing that this was Su Hongzhen's recognition of "Cang Zi'ang's" abilities, so he nodded and said, "Alright."

The representatives of the other three sects had no objections since the two sect leaders had agreed.

Mingchuan stood up, clasped his hands in a fist salute, and said in a deep voice, "Thank you for the trust of the sect leader and everyone. I, Cang, will do my utmost to coordinate all parties and jointly resist the demonic calamity!"

Thus, a preliminary response framework was quickly established.

Strengthen the barrier, conduct joint research, and form a coalition army.

In this small town of Wangyuan, all the various factions temporarily set aside their past grievances and united for survival.

The meeting lasted for about an hour, finalizing more details such as resource allocation, communication methods, and intelligence sharing mechanisms.

As night fell completely, each carrying their heavy mission and preliminary plans, they transformed into streaks of light and returned to their respective sects to make preparations.

After everyone left, only Sect Leader Ye remained in Qingxin Pavilion.

He stood by the window, gazing at the deep night outside and the few streaks of light that quickly disappeared on the distant horizon, and exhaled a long breath.

Although a preliminary alliance was formed, the heavy burden on their minds did not lessen in the slightest.

He rubbed his temples, his face revealing his exhaustion.

Just as he was about to pack up and leave, his gaze inadvertently swept across a corner outside the window.

As the group from the Qingcheng Yufa Sect was about to disappear into the night, the figure dressed in the robes of a core elder seemed to sense something. Before boarding the flying artifact, he paused almost imperceptibly and glanced back in the direction of Qingxin Pavilion.

Their eyes met briefly in the hazy night.

There were no words spoken, and not even any obvious changes in expression.

But Sect Leader Ye clearly saw the calm determination in Mingchuan's eyes, and a hint of unspoken certainty that said, "Leave it to me."

Mingchuan, too, understood from the deep and slightly weary eyes of Sect Leader Ye the heavy entrustment and the unreserved trust.

In just a moment, Mingchuan withdrew his gaze, casually stepped onto the magical artifact, and disappeared into the horizon along with Su Hongzhen and the others as they turned into streaks of light.

Sect Leader Ye stood there, stunned for a moment, before his tightly furrowed brows finally relaxed slightly.

With Mingchuan maneuvering behind the scenes and wielding power within the allied forces, he at least had more confidence in dealing with this overwhelming crisis.

Without lingering, he transformed into a streak of azure wind and sped towards Qingfeng Yumen. He had to return immediately to take charge and mobilize all resources.
