Chapter 340 Communication and Cooperation
At dawn, Yun Yao and Chu Mochen were ready to go, shouldering the heavy trust of the sects, and embarked on a difficult journey to communicate and cooperate with various sects. They knew that the success or failure of this mission was related to the safety of the entire cultivation world, and it was by no means an easy task. Along the way, both of them looked solemn, thinking about the countermeasures in their hearts.
Yun Yao first came to Lingxiao Sect, which was famous for its water control skills. All the disciples were as agile as water and their magic was unfathomable. Lingxiao Sect's headquarters was located on the top of a high mountain surrounded by clouds and mist, with waterfalls cascading around and water vapor everywhere, like a fairyland. As soon as Yun Yao stepped into the sect, two disciples in light blue clothes came to greet her. They had cold eyes and aloof behavior.
"Who are you? This is an important area of Lingxiao Sect and you are not allowed to trespass without permission." One of the disciples asked in a stiff tone.
Yun Yao bowed slightly and said politely, "My two fellow Taoists, I am Yun Yao, a disciple of Qingxuan Sect. I came here to discuss an important matter with your sect leader. It is about a crisis in the cultivation world. I hope you can let me know."
The two disciples looked at each other, as if they were considering the truth of Yun Yao's words. After a moment, one of them turned around and went inside to report. Yun Yao waited there, looking up at the surrounding scenery, but her heart was not at peace. Not long after, the disciple returned, his expression still indifferent: "The master wants to see you."
Yun Yao followed him, passing through corridors, and came to the meeting hall of Lingxiao Sect. In the hall, the head of Lingxiao Sect, Shui Wuhen, sat on the main seat. He had a stern face and deep eyes. He was wearing a white robe embroidered with delicate water patterns, like a flowing river. Several elders stood on both sides, all staring at Yun Yao with burning eyes.
"I am Yun Yao, a disciple of Qingxuan Sect. Nice to meet Sect Leader Shui and all the elders." Yun Yao bowed respectfully.
Shui Wuhen nodded slightly: "Stand up, I heard you have something important to discuss, you can just speak directly."
Yun Yao took a deep breath and told the evil deeds of the mysterious organization, the clues they found, and the plan of joint confrontation. She spoke clearly and sincerely, trying to make everyone in Lingxiao Sect feel the urgency of the matter. However, as soon as she finished speaking, a questioning voice rang out in the hall.
"Hmph, how can you, Qingxuan Sect, be sure that this information is true? Are you trying to use our sect as cannon fodder and reap the benefits yourself?" An elder snorted coldly, his eyes full of suspicion.
Yun Yao's heart tightened, and she quickly explained: "Elder, you have misunderstood. One of my disciples had a direct confrontation with this mysterious organization and almost lost his life. If the situation was not critical, we would never come to disturb. Moreover, the clues we found are closely linked and point to a clear direction. We dare not deceive in the slightest."
Shui Wuhen raised his hand to signal everyone to be quiet. He locked his eyes with Yun Yao for a long time, then slowly spoke: "Even so, if my Lingxiao Sect participates in this battle, the sect's daily practice and resource allocation will be affected. How can we make up for this loss?"
Yun Yao was well prepared. She took out a carefully drawn map from her storage bag and unfolded it in the center of the hall. "Master, please take a look. This is the preliminary plan for the redistribution of resources in the cultivation world after the war. If we win this battle, our Qingxuan sect is willing to share the spiritual minerals, fairy herbs and other rare resources we obtain with everyone according to the contribution ratio of each sect. The Lingxiao sect has unique skills and has a great demand for water-attributed spiritual objects. These places where high-quality water spiritual power gathers will definitely give priority to your sect."
Everyone gathered around and looked at the detailed markings on the map, with a hint of excitement in their eyes. Shui Wuhen frowned slightly, tapped the armrest with his fingers, and said after thinking for a moment: "This matter is serious, I need to discuss it with the elders again, you wait for news in my guest room first."
Yun Yao felt helpless, but she knew she couldn't wait any longer, so she had to bow and leave. She was restless in the guest room, knowing that every second that passed could make the situation more critical. It wasn't until nightfall that a disciple came to summon her.
Yun Yao stepped into the meeting hall again. The atmosphere in the hall was still solemn. Shui Wuhen looked at her with a complicated expression: "Miss Yun Yao, although our sect recognizes the seriousness of what you said, there are too many variables in the joint action. Our Lingxiao Sect can only send some disciples to support, and we must retain the right to act independently, just in case."
Yun Yao was delighted and said hurriedly, "Thank you for your generosity, Master. Even if it is only a partial help, it is a timely help. With the participation of Lingxiao Sect, our chances of winning this battle will be much better."
After reaching a preliminary agreement with Lingxiao Sect with great difficulty, Yun Yao rushed to the next sect, Yanhuo Sect. Yanhuo Sect is located in the heart of a volcano, with hot magma surging in the cracks of the mountain, rolling heat waves blowing in the face, and the air is filled with the smell of sulfur.
The Yanhuo Sect disciples were hot-tempered. As soon as Yun Yao approached the sect, she was surrounded by a group of disciples holding flaming spears. "Where did you come from, girl? How dare you break into the Yanhuo Sect? You are tired of living!" The leading disciple shouted loudly, with flames jumping in his eyes.
Yun Yao remained calm and shouted loudly: "I am Yun Yao from Qingxuan Sect. I want to see the Sect Master of Yanhuo Sect for an important matter. It concerns the survival of the cultivation world. I hope you fellow Taoists will be accommodating."
Perhaps the words "life or death" worked. Although the disciples were still suspicious, they still took her to see the leader. Yan Lie, the leader of the Yanhuo Sect, was a burly man with red hair and red eyes, like a burning flame. He sat on a throne made of fire crystal, and the heat waves around him made it difficult for people to get close to him.
"Little girl, if you have to fart, do it now!" Yan Lie's voice was like a loud bell, causing Yun Yao's eardrums to hurt.
Yun Yao was not afraid at all and recounted the incident in detail. At the end, she emphasized: "The Flame Sect's skills are powerful. If the mysterious organization succeeds, the world's fire spiritual power will be controlled by it, and then the Flame Sect's path of cultivation will be blocked. Only by joining hands to fight the enemy can we protect all sects."
After hearing this, Yan Lie slapped the armrests fiercely, and the flames around the throne instantly rose several feet. "Hmph, those bastards dared to provoke me! However, my Yanhuo Sect has always been straightforward and does not like to be constrained. If we join the alliance, how will the command authority be calculated?"
Yun Yao had expected this question, and quickly said, "Each sect has its own strengths, and in battle, it is natural to give full play to their strengths. The Yanhuo Sect's ability to charge into battle is unmatched, and the key battle links will be led by your sect. My Qingxuan Sect is willing to fully cooperate, without any objections."
A hint of satisfaction flashed in Yan Lie's eyes, but then he frowned and said, "My disciples' cultivation consumes a lot of energy. This time, the supplies must keep up. If the war is delayed due to insufficient food, fodder and elixirs, don't blame me for turning my back on you."
Yun Yao nodded hurriedly: "Of course, my Qingxuan Sect has joined forces with several major immortal merchants to prepare sufficient supplies, and will give priority to ensuring the needs of the Yanhuo Sect. After the battle, there will be additional fire-attributed treasures to reward all Taoist friends for their heroic fighting."
After some bargaining, the Yanhuo Sect finally agreed to send troops. Yun Yao breathed a sigh of relief. She had been running around for several days and was exhausted both physically and mentally, but she knew that she couldn't stop.
On the other side, Chu Mochen went to Qingfeng Pavilion. Qingfeng Pavilion was hidden in a sea of bamboo. The breeze blew through, and the bamboo leaves rustled, as if playing a melodious movement. The disciples in the pavilion were good at controlling the wind, and their bodies were light and they came and went without a trace.
Chu Mochen stepped into Qingfeng Pavilion, and was greeted by a woman in green clothes, with a gentle face and a smile: "Sir, are you a visitor? I am Luluo, the steward of Qingfeng Pavilion. How can I help you?"
Chu Mochen bowed and saluted: "Miss Luluo, I am Chu Mochen from Qingxuan Sect. I have an urgent matter to discuss with your Pavilion Master. Please inform him."
Luluo nodded slightly and led Chu Mochen into the pavilion. The Qingfeng Pavilion was elegantly decorated, with a sense of tranquility everywhere. On a bamboo building, Chu Mochen saw Feng Yichen, the owner of Qingfeng Pavilion. He was dressed in a green shirt, holding a jade flute, and had an extraordinary temperament, like an immortal who was not in touch with the world.
Chu Mochen explained his purpose. Feng Yichen listened quietly and played a flute for a long time before speaking: "Mr. Chu, my Qingfeng Pavilion has always taken it as its responsibility to protect the peace of the world. I shouldn't shirk it. But most of my disciples are indifferent and don't like fighting. If they get involved in a war this time, it may go against the tradition of the sect."
Chu Mochen knew the temperament of Qingfeng Pavilion very well. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Pavilion Master, Qingfeng Pavilion's wind control technique is agile and elegant. If it is used for battlefield reconnaissance and information transmission, it can not only avoid excessive killings, but also play a key role. Moreover, once the mysterious organization succeeds, the world will fall into chaos. Where will there be a peaceful place for Qingfeng Pavilion to cultivate themselves?"
Feng Yichen's eyes flickered, as if he was persuaded, but he hesitated and said, "Even so, if we participate in this battle, casualties are inevitable. How can we ensure the safety of our disciples?"
Chu Mochen took out an ancient box from his bosom. After opening it, a light flashed inside. It turned out to be a set of top-level defensive magic weapons that could resist powerful attacks. "Pavilion Master, this is a magic weapon treasured by my Qingxuan Sect. If Qingfeng Pavilion is willing to help, this set of magic weapons will be given to your disciples for self-defense. In addition, during the battle, my Qingxuan Sect will definitely arrange elite forces to take care of your disciples to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
Feng Yichen took the box and examined it carefully, with a hint of surprise in his eyes: "Qingxuan Sect is so sincere, it seems that this matter cannot allow us to stay out of it. Well, Qingfeng Pavilion is willing to help."
Chu Mochen was delighted and discussed many details with Feng Yichen before saying goodbye and leaving.
When Yun Yao and Chu Mochen completed their respective tasks and returned to Qingxuan Sect, half a month had passed. Although they looked haggard, their eyes were firm. They brought back the initial responses from various sects, some were willing to fully support, and some had many conditions and restrictions, but it was the first step towards a union.
In the sect's main hall, the elders gathered together, and Yun Yao and Chu Mochen told them about their trip one by one. After listening, everyone felt that it was not easy, and they also knew that the subsequent preparations would be arduous.
"Next, we will arrange joint training. Each sect has different skills and habits, so how to coordinate them is a big problem." An elder said worriedly.
Yun Yao bowed and said, "Don't worry, Elder. During the communication, I have paid attention to the characteristics of each sect. The training plan can be carried out in stages. The early stage is mainly to familiarize each other with each other's skills and enhance understanding. In the later stage, actual combat drills will be carried out to hone tactical coordination. Senior Brother Chu and I are willing to participate in the whole process and coordinate all parties."
After a long discussion, the group finally finalized a detailed training plan. After that, the Qingxuan Sect was busy preparing to welcome the arrival of reinforcements from various sects and start a joint preparation journey that concerns the fate of the cultivation world. With the efforts of Yun Yao and Chu Mochen, the originally loose sects gradually came together. Although there were many difficulties, the dawn of hope had already appeared.
