"Respected Uncle Master, my disciple Uncle Master Chen has been practicing in the meditation room for two and a half months. During this period, Junior Sister Song and I have always stayed outside the meditation room, but Uncle Master Chen has not come out."

"Well, regarding Junior Brother Chen's retreat, he did inform me in advance. He wants to be fully prepared for the upcoming battle, so he begs us to try not to disturb his retreat during this period of time."

"However, the Mulan Kingdom seems to have gathered enough manpower to invade our country. The top leaders of our cultivation world have held several meetings, and many cultivators have expressed their hope that Junior Brother Chen from your sect will attend these meetings, but I have refused for various reasons. Now, including myself, three cultivators with the cultivation base of the middle stage of the Nascent Soul will hold a meeting in Tianyi Town, and have sent a special letter to invite Junior Brother Chen from your sect to participate."

"This meeting is only open to those in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul stage, which shows how much your sect values ​​Junior Brother Chen. Therefore, I think I can no longer refuse and must attend the meeting. At the same time, I speculate that this meeting is likely to be an important decision-making place on how to deal with this war. If someone from our Luoyun Sect can attend such a meeting, it will gain many benefits."

Lu Luo sighed and whispered to himself.

Hearing Uncle Lu's words, the other cultivators in the hall also smiled bitterly.

"However, Master Chen must be in a critical stage of retreat at this moment. If we disturb him rashly, will it lead to the failure of his practice?"

After a brief pause, the female monk surnamed Song asked worriedly.

"It is precisely because of this consideration that I have been delaying until now. However, if Junior Brother Chen still fails to show up at tomorrow's meeting, I am afraid that other cultivators will be dissatisfied with this."

A middle-aged male monk with a small moustache said hesitantly.

"How will the other monks react?"

At this moment, a soft and clear voice suddenly came from outside the hall. Although the volume was not loud, it could be accurately heard by every monk present.

Hearing this, Lu Luo immediately showed a look of joy.

Along with the sudden sound of conversation, Chen Yun's figure appeared at the door of the hall and walked into the room with a calm expression.

"Junior Brother Chen, congratulations on finally finishing your training and coming out of seclusion!"

As many monks around him saluted and greeted Chen Yun, Lu Luo stood up with a smile on his face to greet him.

"In fact, I haven't completely completed my training. I originally planned to continue my retreat, but because I was worried about the situation of the Mulan people, I decided to come out of retreat early to observe. It seems that this time I came out of retreat is indeed at the right time."

Chen Yun smiled slightly and replied.

"Haha! It seems that Junior Brother has learned about the content of the conversation between Junior Brothers just now. However, there are too many people who want to see Junior Brother recently. As for other things, it's fine. But Junior Brother Chen must attend the high-level meeting hosted by the three cultivators tomorrow. After all, our Luoyun Sect is almost out in full force this time, and I don't want our disciples to suffer too much loss. Junior Brother can listen to the opinions of the leaders and understand their specific deployment for this war, so that Senior Brother can have some confidence in his mind."

Lu Luo said with a serious expression.

"Well, now that I know about this, I will definitely go and watch tomorrow. I have heard of the three monks for a long time and I am looking forward to tomorrow's gathering."

Chen Yun agreed without hesitation.

Lu Luo was very pleased with Chen Yun's reply, so the two continued to talk about some things that had happened in the past two months.

"The mages have already started sending personnel to attack several large defense formations at the border!"

When Lu Luo mentioned the news, Chen Yun frowned and asked.

"Yes, in fact, this happened only three or four days ago. Although there have been no casualties yet, it is undoubtedly a signal that the Mulan people are about to launch a full-scale attack."

Lu Luo's smile disappeared and he responded in a heavy tone.

"The Mulan people seem to have made sufficient preparations. So are our personnel deployments ready? It should be almost there!" Chen Yun's eyes flickered as he slowly asked the question.

"We are different from the Mulan people. Although the Mulan Fashi are composed of multiple tribes and seem to be quite chaotic, in comparison, our Tiannan region has many large and small sects. The personnel are organized according to the characteristics of the skills, the power of the magic weapons, and the level of cultivation. It is obviously more complicated than that of the Mulan people. In addition, the Mulan people have been preparing for this invasion for a long time. We are just starting to prepare now, which is indeed a little behind. But fortunately, this time the four major forces have maintained a high degree of unity, and the preparations have basically been completed. Even if we start fighting immediately, we may not be without a chance of winning."

Lu Luo explained in detail.

"From this point of view, it seems that the war is imminent."

Chen Yun gently stroked the bridge of his nose and said with a slightly gloomy expression.

"I'm afraid that's the case. Otherwise, the three cultivators wouldn't have gathered so quickly and hastily announced a gathering tomorrow. A cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul is the top powerhouse in our Tiannan region."

Lu Luo sighed and said helplessly.

Listening to the in-depth discussion and discussion between Chen Yun and Lu Luo, two Luoyun Sect elders, all the people present could not help but show serious and cautious expressions. However, after that, Chen Yun immediately changed the topic and asked about the latest information on the recent deployment of Luoyun Sect disciples. Lu Luo and other relevant personnel reported to Chen Yun in detail.

When he learned that most of the Luoyun Sect's disciples had been reorganized and assigned to multiple teams of cultivators, and were training in teamwork and combat skills every day, Chen Yun simply nodded slightly in approval.

This adjustment is undoubtedly very reasonable and necessary.

After all, in the world of cultivating immortals, personal strength is important, but teamwork is more crucial.

Even a monk with powerful supernatural powers will face the fate of defeat if faced with a collective attack by thousands of well-trained monks.

Of course, normally these high-level cultivators would not take the initiative to put themselves in such a dangerous situation.

As long as they can avoid being besieged by numerous cultivators, they can unleash their magical powers on a large scale and cause extensive damage to low-level cultivators.

Therefore, being able to effectively restrain the power of the enemy's high-level cultivators is also of great importance.

The situation of the current war between monks and mages is roughly the same.

In the battle between the high-level monks and Grand Master Mulan, no matter which side is unable to effectively restrain the opponent, the balance of victory and defeat will have already tilted before the battle even begins.

Therefore, although Chen Yun was apparently asking about the affairs of the Luoyun Sect, deep down in his heart he had already begun to think about the real intentions of the three great cultivators of Tiannan in summoning the cultivators in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul.

Perhaps this meeting, in addition to discussing the action plan of the army of monks, is more about formulating specific tactical strategies against Grand Master Mulan.

Chen Yun speculated secretly in his heart, and a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth.

In the past two months, he not only successfully cleared all the green flames on the Qingzhu Fengyun Sword, but also used the evil-repelling divine thunder to refine seven or eight thunder beads containing Qingyuan sword energy.

As for the rest that failed to be successfully refined, they dissipated on their own. This result made Chen Yun feel helpless, but it also provided him with a unique method to eliminate these blue flames.

After chatting with several colleagues for a while, Chen Yun said goodbye and returned to the attic specially prepared for him to rest and recuperate.

In the past two months, he had been working day and night to expel the green flame of the flying sword, and then he devoted himself to the work of refining the thunder beads. He was really exhausted.

……

The next morning, Chen Yun set out from his base and leisurely headed towards the central area. Not long after, he vaguely saw a huge stone palace.

Since the entire Tianyi City was built temporarily, even the hall where the top leaders of the four major forces gathered for discussions appeared plain and a little rough.

And apart from the fact that it is slightly higher than the meeting hall of the Tiandao League, there is basically no big difference.

However, the monks responsible for guarding the gate were composed of several Jindan stage masters. When they saw Chen Yun coming, they released their spiritual senses to investigate, and then quickly stepped forward to greet him.

As a disciple in the Jindan stage, this person bowed respectfully and asked cautiously:

"Respected senior, at today's meeting, only those who are at or above the middle stage of the Nascent Soul are allowed to attend. May I ask what realm you are in..."

However, before he could finish his words, Chen Yun casually raised his right hand and threw a flawless white jade slip to him.

That was the invitation letter sent by someone yesterday.

"It turns out to be Senior Chen. I apologize for any offense I have just caused. Please come in!"

The monk guarding the gate scanned the jade slip with his spiritual sense, and a look of deep apology immediately appeared on his face, and he said respectfully.

Then he slightly turned his body to make way for Chen Yun to lead to the main hall.

Chen Yun smiled slightly and was about to step into the hall when his expression suddenly changed. He paused and turned to look in a certain direction.

I saw two people walking slowly on a nearby street. The one in front was a young man, and the one behind was a beautiful woman.

The man was about twenty years old, wearing a gorgeous brocade robe, with fair and smooth skin and an extraordinarily handsome appearance. His every move exuded an elegant temperament and he looked very cool.

But if you look closely, you can find that the young man's eyes flicker, and occasionally reveal a deep sense of vicissitudes.

There are some crow's feet faintly visible in the corners of his eyes, which is inconsistent with his appearance and makes him look much older than his actual age.

What is surprising is that when people first meet this man, they often feel that he exudes an indescribable feminine aura, as if he is a woman dressed as a man. This feeling is extremely strange.

The moment Chen Yun saw this man, his heart was shocked and a serious expression appeared on his face.

This person is obviously a cultivator in the middle stage of the Nascent Soul, and he should also be attending this meeting. Judging from his unique temperament, he is likely a cultivator from the Demonic Path. I just don't know which sect he belongs to?

Chen Yun thought quickly in his mind, and his eyes moved slightly to fall on the woman half a step behind the man.

"Huh?" Chen Yun muttered softly in surprise.

The woman was young and beautiful, wearing a bright red dress. Every light step she took showed off her graceful figure. She looked charming and full of endless charm.

But when Chen Yun saw the woman's face clearly, he first showed a strange expression, and then after the strange color disappeared, he showed a faint bitter smile.

Dong Xuaner! It was her.

There was no need to guess at this moment, Chen Yun already understood. The old man in front of her who looked like a young man must be a cultivator from the Hehuan Sect, the first sect of the Demonic Path.

After not seeing each other for so many years, Dong Xuaner has actually reached the middle stage of Jindan. This is indeed somewhat unexpected considering her not-so-outstanding spiritual root aptitude.

Chen Yun stood at the entrance of the hall, staring at them motionlessly. This naturally attracted the attention of the Jindan stage cultivators guarding the gate, and they all turned their eyes to the two men.

When they saw this man, most of them turned pale. One of them even whispered nervously:

“I didn’t expect that the ancient demon from the Hehuan Sect would come in person.”

"Ancient demon?" Hearing this, Chen Yun immediately thought of someone.

It is said that in addition to the old demon Hehuan who is in the late Nascent Soul stage, there is another old monster named Gu who is equally famous.

This person is gifted with extraordinary talents, with yin and yang in one body, and he practices the most advanced magic technique of the Hehuan Sect. He is good at the way of collecting and replenishing, and calls himself "Master Yunlu". Others respectfully call him "Old Demon Yunlu".

Due to the reason of his cultivation method, or because he is lustful by nature, this old demon often kidnaps others for sexual intercourse.

No matter whether it is a man with outstanding appearance or a woman with beautiful appearance, anyone who is coveted by this person will often not escape bad luck.

This naturally made many sects and factions feel dissatisfied. However, this person's strength was indeed unfathomable, his whereabouts were mysterious, he rarely showed up, and he had the solid backing of the Hehuan Sect, so others could do nothing about him.

In addition, this person is not a bloodthirsty person. Once he has taken advantage of the captured people, he will release them and leave.

Faced with this situation, the victim's sect and senior teachers could only try their best to cover up the truth and accept this reality in silence.

However, this person is notorious in the Tiannan cultivation world and is feared by everyone.

When those young cultivators heard his name, they all avoided him. Some of them even didn't have time to escape, and turned pale and trembled with fear.

They are afraid of being noticed by this person and suffering misfortune.

Could this young man be the legendary old monster?

Although Chen Yun was not afraid of this man, he couldn't help but feel confused and uncomfortable.

Coincidentally, the handsome young man seemed to have noticed Chen Yun standing at the entrance of the palace. He narrowed his eyes slightly, examined Chen Yun from a distance for a moment, and then suddenly smiled at him, revealing a hint of charm. (End of this chapter)
