In the Qixing Sect, there stood an ancient bronze bell, a silent witness to the rise and fall of the Wanjian Sect. On ordinary days, the bell remained still, only ringing for significant events. Three chimes signified a meeting of the outer sect; a single chime called for the inner sect to gather; while Qi Xiang was a signal to summon the Grand Elder, indicating that the Wanjian Sect faced a momentous decision.
At this moment, under Leng Qiuyue's command, the ancient bronze bell rang out once more, its seven resonant and heavy tolls echoing through the skies above Qixing Sect. Each toll seemed to strike at the hearts of every disciple, instilling an unprecedented sense of tension and oppression.
The elders emerged from their secluded meditation, their faces etched with gravity and confusion, unsure of what could be so significant as to awaken the long-silent bell for Qi Xiang. After arranging matters in order, all disciples below the rank of elder quietly withdrew from the grand hall, leaving only Leng Qiuyue and Xia Qingyan within its vastness.
Meanwhile, Ye Tian and Ying Ziyi were led by several disciples into a quaint courtyard filled with an antique charm, where they could take a moment to rest. Back in the grand hall, the elders had gathered together, exchanging bewildered glances, all equally perplexed about what had transpired.
Just then, an elderly woman entered the hall slowly, her frail form appearing as if it could be toppled by a gust of wind at any moment. Yet despite her fragile appearance, an overwhelming aura of power emanated from her. Seeing her arrive, Leng Qiuyue and all the elders quickly rose to pay their respects, bowing deeply as they greeted her: "We greet you, Grand Elder."
The old woman waved her hand slightly, signaling them not to be overly formal. She then turned her gaze toward Leng Qiuyue and asked with genuine concern in her voice: "Little Yue, what has happened that you summoned me? Has some audacious scoundrel dared to offend our Qixing Sect? It seems many have forgotten how I Huang Feixiu once roamed the Northern Region with unmatched prowess."
As her words fell, an immense pressure surged forth from Huang Feixiu's body. Under this oppressive force, all the elders felt a heaviness in their chests and struggled to breathe. However, this aura was fleeting; Huang Feixiu quickly reined in her presence, restoring calm to the grand hall.
In that moment of silence, all eyes turned toward Leng Qiuyue as they awaited further explanation. Leng Qiuyue recounted the events that had just unfolded. Upon hearing her account, the elders' faces turned ashen, as if they could solidify the very air in the hall with their tension.
Huang Feixiu's eyes flashed with cold light as she spoke in a deep voice: "To dare bully the weak and ambush our sect's holy maiden—clearly they can no longer contain themselves." With a grave expression, Huang Feixiu issued a command: "Do not act rashly; we must wait for the right moment."
Leng Qiuyue initially showed a look of confusion, but after a moment's thought, she seemed to understand and slowly said, "Grand Elder, are you referring to the Heavenly Ladder?"
Huang Feixiu nodded slightly, his gaze profound. "Indeed, over a decade ago, I sensed the Chosen One's presence in this world. With eyes like torches, illuminating both ancient and modern times. The Heavenly Ladder reappears, the trials will begin, and the Imperial Path will follow suit."
"If we recklessly initiate the Holy War now, we will only fall into their trap."
Upon hearing this, the others exchanged glances, their expressions varied. They had not anticipated that so many secrets lay hidden behind this.
Seeing their reactions, Leng Qiuyue had already formulated a plan in her mind. She spoke in a low voice, "Let us proceed as the Grand Elder suggests. You must all act with caution. What we have seen and heard today must not be leaked; otherwise, there will be severe consequences."
The others listened intently, their expressions turning serious as they nodded in agreement.
