661: Chapter 661: Couldn't it have been a little more direct?

After the three Holy Lords sat down, the atmosphere at the stone table became heavy.

They looked at one another, each wanting to say something, but in the end, no one spoke.

"Everyone, if there's something on your minds... just say it directly!"

Su Yun's lips twitched. They clearly had something to say, yet they remained silent?

What were these three Holy Lords thinking? Couldn't they just be a bit more direct?

"Then... I'll go first!" The Holy Lord of Dao Yi sighed slightly, putting down his walking stick and resting it against the armrest of his stone chair.

He hesitated for a moment longer, as if weighing his words, and only spoke slowly after a few breaths.

"Taixuan Holy Master, what is your view on the recent situation in the Central Domain?"

As soon as the Holy Lord of Dao Yi finished speaking, the expressions of the other two Holy Lords also turned serious. They all looked toward Su Yun, seemingly waiting for his answer.

"My view?" Su Yun leaned back in his chair, his gaze deep as he looked into the distance. "To be honest, I believe the situation in the Central Domain is precarious!"

Hearing this, the expressions of the three Holy Lords instantly became solemn.

If it were anyone else, they might not have believed it.

But coming from Su Yun, they respected his opinion immensely!

"Is the situation in the Central Domain... really that severe?" The Holy Lord of Dao Yi frowned slightly.

At that moment, Su Yun turned his head to look at the Holy Lord of Dao Yi, a sharp light flashing in his eyes. "What you truly want to talk about isn't the general situation of the Central Domain, is it? It's about the attack on your Dao Yi Disciples!"

"How did you know!" The Holy Lord of Dao Yi's eyes widened, a look of surprise crossing his face.

He hadn't even said it yet!

He hadn't expected the Taixuan Holy Master to be so wise despite his young age, on top of being incredibly powerful!

"Just a guess. That's the only major event that has happened to the Dao Yi Holy Land recently!"

Su Yun waved his hand, his expression calm.

As he spoke, he reached out and lightly tapped the armrest of the stone chair.

An invisible spatial ripple enveloped the surroundings, transforming into a Spatial Restriction to block any outside prying.

Su Yun's movements were very discreet and finished in an instant; the three Holy Lords didn't notice the change in their surroundings at all.

"So... your Dao Yi Holy Land encountered such a thing as well!"

A look of surprise flashed across Holy Lord Tianyang's face. He slapped the armrest and spoke loudly.

He had been in secluded cultivation recently and hadn't been paying attention to the state of the Central Domain.

He had only come out to investigate because the Tianyang Holy Land had been affected by the Spiritual Vein riots in the Eastern Central Domain.

When he had come over to talk just now, he actually wanted to ask Su Yun about the progress of the Taixuan Holy Land's investigation into the attacks on Disciples.

Which mysterious force was plotting against their four Holy Lands behind the scenes?

He hadn't expected the Dao Yi Holy Land to have encountered something similar!

"Sigh, isn't that the case? Regarding this attack on our Dao Yi Disciples, I've always felt something was off!"

The Holy Lord of Dao Yi nodded slightly, speaking with some helplessness.

"So, hearing that the Taixuan Holy Land also encountered this, I came to ask about the situation!"

"You've asked the right person. The Taixuan Holy Master was the one who discovered the conspiracy before!" Holy Lord Tianyang said hurriedly.

The Holy Lord of Dao Yi gripped his walking stick again, his expression turning grim as he said in a heavy voice:

"A conspiracy? What's going on? Taixuan Holy Master, what did you discover? If you don't mind, could you tell me?"

Hearing this, Su Yun gave a brief explanation. "I discovered..."

"This infuriates me! To think... such a thing was happening? I was wondering why things were like this! So there's a mysterious force secretly sowing discord between our Holy Lands!"

The Holy Lord of Dao Yi's face grew even grimmer as he spoke in anger.

"But looking at it this way, this mysterious force is not simple! I wonder what they are trying to achieve?"

"I'm not entirely sure about that, but from the overall perspective, they intend to incite chaos in the Central Domain, seemingly for some ulterior motive!"

"Recently, many small Sects in various cities of the Central Domain have been fighting; perhaps that was also triggered by them!"

Su Yun picked up a cup of spiritual liquid, took a light sip, and then spoke in a gentle tone.

As for the matter of the Jiyuan Palace Immortals...

He naturally couldn't say it directly!

After all, the fact that a force from the Immortal Realm was acting against the Haomiao Realm was far too shocking.

"So there is such a force! To think they are secretly eyeing our Great Holy Lands!"

After listening, Holy Lord Yaochi's expression also became somewhat uncertain.

"Currently, only our Jade Pool Holy Land hasn't been attacked. Could it be that this mysterious force is plotting another plan to deal with us?"

The Holy Lord of Dao Yi also said with some distress:

"Then what should we do now? This mysterious force is hidden so deeply that we have no way to investigate!"

"It's simple, just do as we have!" A smile curled at the corner of Su Yun's mouth.

"Furthermore, I propose that while our Great Holy Lands appear to have a falling out on the surface, we secretly work together to maintain order in the various cities of the Central Domain!"

Rather than having the Cultivators of the Great Holy Lands face the Jiyuan Palace Immortals, it was better to have them help maintain order in the Central Domain's cities.

Setting aside the Jiyuan Palace Immortals, even the Linyuan Sect, formed by the Immortal Slaves they brought to the Lower Realm, was not something the Holy Land Cultivators could handle!

As for why he made this proposal?

It was because the cities of the Central Domain had always been partly under the management of Families and partly under the management of the Great Holy Lands and Sects.

The Family Alliance led by the Xie Family had already begun maintaining order in many cities; now, only the cities under the jurisdiction of those Holy Lands and Sects remained!

If the Great Holy Lands and Sects could also maintain order in those cities, they could secretly sabotage Jiyuan Palace's plans.

Even if they couldn't completely destroy them, they could delay the progress of Jiyuan Palace's plans!

"This is a good idea! We can't let that mysterious force have its way!"

"Once we secretly sabotage their plans, they will surely show themselves! Then we can follow the clues and catch that mysterious force!"

The Holy Lord of Dao Yi's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

Then, he gripped his walking stick and said solemnly:

"After returning, our Dao Yi Holy Land will properly manage all the cultivation cities within the Dao Yi Domain!"

"Our Tianyang Holy Land will do the same!"

"The Jade Pool Holy Land as well!"

The other two Holy Lords expressed their agreement one after another.

"I believe that as long as we work hard, we can certainly restore stability to the situation in the Central Domain!" Su Yun said with a faint smile.

The three Holy Lords were also full of smiles and replied directly:

"The Taixuan Holy Master is right! If our Great Holy Lands work together, we can definitely restore peace to the Central Domain!"

"But what about the other Holy Lands?"

"We'll find an opportunity to talk to them later!"
