Upon hearing this news, Zhao Huai, who was sitting upright, suddenly thought of Elder Bai’s words from a few days ago.

The main seal of the Illusory Southern Sea was already loose, and the other seals between Heaven and Earth were shaking and on the verge of breaking.

If you compare the Immortal World to a house, even if you only weld the door shut, the windows are at risk of letting thieves in at any time.

Could it be that the seals in the Three States have already broken?

When the news of the disciples’ missing traces was released, it immediately caused a heated discussion among the young elites present.

“The Northern State Netherworld is an extremely dangerous place, and I heard that it’s infested with demons. When the sect decided to send the disciples in groups to go there, I already felt that something was wrong. What do they want even the sect to do?”

“Not only is it the Northern State Netherworld, but also the Western State Bewitched Countries and the Southern State Desolate Extreme Cold. Which one is a good place? It is definitely a hard task without a return. I’m glad I didn’t

“It shouldn’t be the work of the Devil Sect. Since the Sword-wielder used his entire cultivation and heavenly sword qi to protect the Spiritual Mountain Formation, the Devil Sect shouldn’t be attacking for a while. So, I guess a

Demon Lord has appeared.”

“If a powerful demon has appeared, it is better to stay in Spiritual Mountain for the time being.”

Hearing the surrounding discussions, Zhao Huai’s brow furrowed slightly, and he wanted to say something but remained silent.

The mission of these sect disciples was to cultivate and maintain the peace of the Mortal World. Although they had excellent talents, they were extremely cautious about their life.

But after some thinking, he realized he had no right to judge them.

Valuing one’s life, who wouldn’t?

In the path of cultivation, to achieve longevity, happiness and freedom, life naturally comes first.

Moreover,

Now he had a loving wife, a son, and a daughter. He had to be more cautious in his actions.

Among these disciples, there are those who have great ambitions and want to uphold the righteous path of the world. At the same time, there are those who yearn for an easygoing life free from worldly conflicts.

After all, not everyone can be like the senior Sword-wielder, sacrificing their lives for righteousness and facing death bravely.

Treating others as you would want to be treated, is the principle here. “Elder Ye, do you know what happened in the Three States?”

Li Pianran, the elegant young master from the Taihao Sword Sect, asked.

Elder Ye waved his hand, allowing the reporting disciple to step back, and sighed slowly before explaining: “The truth won’t remain hidden for long. I estimate that the Great Sects will soon receive news.”

“This happened recently. The entrance of the Illusory Southern Sea that connects with this world has loosened its seal, and news of demons is spreading through the Three States. That’s why your sects have sent disciples to investigate.”

“Younger Master, are you talking about the seal Ancestor Yan Zu sealed 500 years ago?”

Cai Yuxiang asked.

“Exactly. Back then, Yan Zu used his Great Immortal Skill to seal many

entrances, which restored peace to the Immortal World. The entrance guarded by the Limitless Immortal Sect is one of them. But after only 100 years, the seal is already loose. It’s all the Devil Sect’s fault. If it weren’t for their invasion, this calamity wouldn’t be worth fearing.”

Elder Ye stroked his beard, his old eyes squinting as if he personally witnessed those turbulent times.

Upon hearing this bad news, the atmosphere at the scene suddenly became quiet, no longer as lively as before.

“Madam, do you think that Spiritual Mountain can handle this disaster?” Zhao Huai asked Yu Qinghan curiously.

Yu Qinghan pondered for a while and analyzed: “It’s hard to say. If the elders of the Great Sects directly take action, perhaps the trouble can be solved before it becomes severe. However, the Immortal Sects will most likely not do so, as their power compared to before has undoubtedly weakened. If they rashly dispatch a large number of cultivators, they will inevitably be ambushed by the

Heavenly Devil Palace.”

“As far as I know, there are spies from the Devil Sect within the Immortal Sects. The speed and accuracy with which they invaded this time, nearly breaking the ten gates, is proof of that.”

Zhao Huai nodded, then quietly took out a copper coin to divine guidance for his actions.

[Misfortune and fortune are interdependent, so let’s see]

[Hexagram One: There are no living people on the three-life stone, and the soul may be broken in the Netherworld Hell. The sign you get for going to the Netherworld is ‘Misfortune’.]

[Hexagram Two: The Yellow Sand Demon Sect brings disaster to countries and people. The sign you get for going to the Western State Bewitched Countries is ‘Misfortune’.]

[Hexagram Three: Desolate and extremely cold, you can communicate with the

Netherworld. The sign you get for going to the uninhabited Southern State is “Misfortune”.]

[Hexagram Four: Blessed land in the Spiritual Mountain, Land of Outstanding People. The sign you get for staying in Spiritual Mountain is “Fortune”.] Upon seeing this, Zhao Huai’s eyelids jumped.

From these signs, the Three States were indeed terrifying and fraught with indescribable unknown dangers.

Even if he went, there would be three major catastrophes waiting for him, let alone those sect disciples who would surely be sent to their deaths.

“What’s wrong?”

Seeing Zhao Huai’s expression change, Yu Qinghan placed her jade hand on his hand and looked at him reassuringly.

“The Immortal Dao has stood tall for thousands of years, and there are countless reclusive figures like Hierarch Hai, Eternal Taoist Temple Master, and master of the Exquisite Palace. They are always watching over the world. My husband, don’t worry. These matters are not for us to worry about.” Zhao Huai nodded gently, feeling slightly more at ease.

At this moment, the middle-aged scholar in the blue robe who was playing the zither broke the silence and said softly, “I have heard that the Royal Crown Prince’s swordsmanship is unparalleled. I have recently studied a sword technique that combines sword skill and the art of the zither.. Why not have a taste?”
