Chapter 615: Act Upon Hearing the News

The fact that the fiend would be released by himself was something Xiao Ming likely would not say out loud.

By having the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace gather reinforcements, it would not only help to slightly deter the fiend's advance, but it would also let the Dimension Fetus know that the local strong practitioners couldn't be relied upon to end the crisis and would have to obediently appear before him.

Of course, it was difficult to rely solely on the East Xuan Region Alliance to contact enough powerhouses, given their strength and the lack of Reincarnation Stage practitioners.

Therefore, Xiao Ming waved his hand and summoned a ray of light before the Palace Master.

Understanding his intention, she opened it curiously. Immediately, an intense fragrance of medicine filled her nostrils. Even the bottleneck that had trapped her for many years seemed to loosen a bit!

"Senior, is this for me?" The Palace Master was overjoyed.

"It is for you. This pill is called the Reincarnation Pill. It was created by me in the past two years. It can help someone break through to the Reincarnation Stage within half a month. It's up to you when to take it. Consider it a small benefit for doing this errand."

The Palace Master was delighted. She bowed deeply in gratitude without any hint of refusal.

"Thank you, Senior. I will immediately notify the various sects in the East Xuan Region and arrange for the gathering of the powerhouses."

After saying this and bowing once more, she left with Ling Qingzhu.

"This woman's attitude has changed quite quickly."

Lin Dong couldn't help but feel somewhat speechless when he saw the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace become so proactive after receiving the pill. Of course, he understood that even without any benefits, the Palace Master would still have gone to gather the powerhouses. It's just that such a pill was indeed too astonishing.

Lin Dong's muttering caught the attention of Xiao Ming, who was somewhat surprised.

"Why are you still here?"

Lin Dong's face darkened upon hearing this. He muttered in his heart, 'Uncle Xiao, if you don't let me go, how do I dare to leave? Who knows if that beloved disciple of yours will freeze me again? Being frozen for three days during your breakthrough might kill me!'

These thoughts, however, remained in his heart as he managed to put on a somewhat ingratiating smile on his face.

"Heh, heh, heh… it's been a long time since we've seen each other, so I thought I'd spend some more time with Uncle Xiao."

Xiao Ming could tell Lin Dong's words were not sincere and feigned a frown, "Want to spend more time with me? Don't tell me... you're swinging the other way?! Looks like I'll have to talk to Qing Tan and your parents. Your family line can't end with you."

"Ah?! No...!"

The moment these words were uttered, Lin Dong was completely dumbfounded and hurriedly tried to explain, but Mu Lingshan's astonished exclamation cut him off.

"No wonder you were so resistant to Ling Qingzhu before and didn't take advantage of her. Aha, so you've got a preference for the same team!"

Even Ying Huanhuan looked at him with some suspicion.

"I swear it's not like that!"

Lin Dong looked like he wanted to cry but had no tears. He hadn't expected Uncle Xiao to be so mischievous and tease him like this.

In fact, he had gained quite a few female admirers during his adventures over the past few years. However, he had yet to avenge his father, and there was still the danger of the Lin Langtian faction within the Lin Clan. So how could he have the time to think about becoming romantically involved with someone in such a situation?

After teasing Lin Dong a bit, Xiao Ming became too lazy to continue and casually handed Lin Dong a Qian Kun Bag.

"Alright, alright, this is for you. You can go now."

"Uncle Xiao, what is this?"

Lin Dong immediately forgot about the previous incident upon seeing the Qian Kun Bag, much to the disdain of Little Marten.

'This brat accuses others of quickly changing their faces, but isn't he doing the same thing?'

"This contains the remaining resources from Qing Tan's cultivation. She asked me to pass it on to you. It's enough for you to cultivate to the Perfect Profound Death Stage," Xiao Ming explained.

"Thank you, Uncle Xiao!"

Lin Dong tightened his grip on the bag and bowed deeply upon hearing this. He understood that Qing Tan's cultivation resources were essentially provided by Xiao Ming, so this gesture was no different from Xiao Ming providing him with the resources himself.

"No need to thank me. This little thing is nothing. I suggest you participate in some dangerous secret realms to temper yourself; it's easier to break through that way."

Xiao Ming waved his hand, not minding Lin Dong's thanks. With or without these resources, Lin Dong could advance quickly; it was just a matter of a few more secret realms. Even if his previous actions had some impact, the Tian Xuan Continent was rich in cultivation resources, and there was no shortage of secret realms. Any impact would not be too significant.

After Xiao Ming waved him off, Lin Dong departed.

He didn't inquire further about the matter of the fiend Xiao Ming mentioned. After all, that was not something he needed to concern himself with at his current stage.

Xiao Ming turned his gaze to Mu Lingshan and Ying Huanhuan after Lin Dong left.

"In the next two months, Huanhuan, you'll go find the Ancient Masters. Lingshan, return to the Chaotic Demon Sea and have your First Grandpa gather the factions there."

"Ugh, do we really have to go find people too?!" Mu Lingshan sounded somewhat dispirited upon hearing this. She was enjoying her time outside and didn't want to go back home.

Ying Huanhuan shared a similar sentiment. Being referred to as "Little Junior Sister" by the Ancient Masters always made her feel like she was merely a substitute.

"Of course, it's necessary. It's challenging for the factions of the East Xuan Region to reach the Sea Demon Race of the Chaotic Demon Sea and the Ancient Master. Once you return, it's not like you can't leave again," Xiao Ming said as he gently ruffled Mu Lingshan's hair.

Mu Lingshan reluctantly accepted Xiao Ming's reasoning. She could only look up at him with her big eyes and ask, "Where will everyone gather?"

"The Great Desert in the West Xuan Region. It's sparsely populated there," Xiao Ming replied before suddenly recalling that he had forgotten to inform the Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace about the location.

Then, noticing Ying Huanhuan's expression, he softened his tone. "Huanhuan, there's no need for you to approach them directly. Why don't you first return to the Dao Sect to see your father? Inform him of the location and, while you're at it, offer him a Reincarnation Pill to aid in his breakthrough. As for the Ancient Masters, you can just communicate with them using your Ice Master's power."

"Hm! I'll do as you say, Master," Ying Huanhuan readily agreed with a nod and a warm smile, her expression now resembling a bright blooming flower. She deeply cherished her Master's care.

As headstrong as she could be at times, she also understood that her Master was the one who had allowed her to be herself over the years, even granting her selfish wish to block her memories of the Ice Master.

Awakening as the Ice Master had been her destiny, something that could not be changed, nor could the weighty responsibility of saving the world.

Only her Master had been able to change that destiny.

She often played the zither for her Master. Besides him, the only other people she had played the zither for were her big sister and her father. Clearly, her fondness for her Master was profound.

What exactly was her Master's grand plan? She didn't know that much, she only knew the role she would play in it. As for the rest, she never bothered to ask him. After all, she had put all her faith and trust in him.

...

In the time that followed, everything went exactly as Xiao Ming had planned.

The Palace Master of the Nine Heavens Supreme Purity Palace relayed his message to all the factions within the East Xuan Region Alliance. With Ying Huanhuan stepping forward to confirm the message, it immediately garnered serious attention.

Subsequently, the East Xuan Alliance immediately dispatched Samsara Stage elders to tear through space and head to the Four Xuan Regions, the Chaotic Demon Sea, and the various overlord tribes in the Demon Region.

Ying Huanhuan followed his instructions and used the Ice Master's Reincarnation power to communicate with the other Ancient Masters.

Mu Lingshan, this Little Grand Aunt, finally returned to the Immortal Sage Whale Clan. Her return brought a moment of joy to the clan, but the news she brought dampened their spirits.

The Immortal Sage Whale Clan was well aware of the Yimo's fearsome reputation. They quickly sought an alliance with other Sea Demon clans and notified the human factions within the Chaotic Demon Sea. Consequently, a significant portion of the Chaotic Demon Sea's top fighting force was mobilized and headed towards the Great Desert in the West Xuan Region.

However, there was no such large-scale mobilization in the Demon Region.

Only the Dragon Tribe, the Heavenly Demonic Marten Tribe, and their affiliated factions dispatched some strong practitioners.

The Heavenly Demonic Marten Tribe was still cautious after the recent incident with the Eternal Illusion Demon Flower and did not send many of their strong practitioners.

The large gathering of strong practitioners naturally attracted the attention of the Yimo organization lurking in the shadows, known as the Devil Prison.

...

In a realm of darkness where endless evil was slowly flowing, one could vaguely discern some shadows flickering within this darkness.

"Everyone is aware of the recent events, right?"

A hoarse voice emerged from the darkness and slowly spread out.

"Are you referring to those strong practitioners who suddenly converged on the West Xuan Region?" Another sinister voice replied.

"The reason has been determined..."
