521: Section 521

After he said this, the expressions of General Yi Nanshan, Old Yao, and the others all changed.

"The Heaven-Sealing Array?"

"This... is it necessary?"

The other veteran generals present also fell into deep thought.

The Heaven-Sealing Array was a great formation jointly set up by the previous generation of Martial Gods and seven other Grandmasters.

Moreover, it could only be activated once.

It was equivalent to a one-time consumable.

Once the Heaven-Sealing Array is activated, those Yao Beasts in the forbidden area will be trapped inside.

Even those few great Yao Beasts in the Tongxin Realm will not be able to easily break through the formation.

However, this Heaven-Sealing Array has a time limit.

It can only be maintained for three months.

After three months, the formation will gradually lose its effect.

By that time, the Yao Beasts in the forbidden area will all rush out, and it will be impossible to stop them anymore.

The Martial God once said that unless it is a matter of life and death, one must never easily activate the formation.

This Heaven-Sealing Array can be considered the last glimmer of breathing room left for the Huawu General Alliance.

A mere three months might be enough to save many people.

"No, the Heaven-Sealing Array is our trump card and our final life-saving charm!"

"If we use it now, then when the time of life and death truly arrives in the future, what will we have left to use?"

"Now is not the time to activate the formation!"

Old Yao immediately shook his head and vetoed it.

General Yi Nanshan and the Old Celestial Master nodded in succession.

"I agree with Old Yao's statement. It is not yet a matter of life and death. Moreover, once the Heaven-Sealing Array is activated, it will be directly scrapped; it is too extravagant!"

"For hundreds of years, we have been maintaining the formation. Unless it is an absolute last resort, I do not recommend activating it!"

The other generals also nodded and expressed their views.

Basically, they were the same as what Old Yao and General Yi Nanshan had said.

Now is not the time to activate the Heaven-Sealing Array.

Unless it truly reaches the point where we cannot resist those Yao Beasts, we must absolutely not activate the Heaven-Sealing Array.

"What we need to do now is to keep a constant watch on the situation in the forbidden area!"

"Each war zone must summarize the situation daily and share it!"

"This will allow us to have a general understanding of each other's war zone situations!"

"With the crisis ahead, those Yao Beasts might launch a massive attack at any time!"

"Given this, we must stand united and avoid the depletion caused by infighting!"

After Old Yao finished speaking, everyone else nodded in agreement.

"By the way, Old Yi, we received news from Hua-Wu a few days ago!"

"Several Outer Alliances are coming here to conduct a Martial Arts Exchange!"

"They are inviting various universities to participate. Hua-Wu's intention is to send ten students each from Xingwu, the Martial Alliance, Lanshan University, and Longhu Mountain to participate in the exchange!"

After he finished speaking, Old Yao furtively observed the expression on General Yi Nanshan's face.

The Old Celestial Master sat there without saying a word.

Stroking his long beard, he fell into deep thought.

After a long while, General Yi Nanshan looked at Old Yao.

"Which Outer Alliances are they?"

"The Eagle Alliance, Sunset Alliance, Maple Leaf Alliance, Cherry Blossom Alliance, and Axi Alliance..."

"Heh, it really is them!"

After Old Yao finished speaking, General Yi Nanshan couldn't help but laugh.

However, he didn't show the slightest surprise.

Instead, he turned back and exchanged a glance with the Old Celestial Master.

"What? Judging by your attitude, you already knew?"

Old Yao hurriedly asked.

General Yi Nanshan shook his head: "Celestial Master Mu Ru and I are focused on the affairs of the forbidden area all day long; how would we have time to know about these things?"

"However, before this, we had already guessed some things!"

"The Men in Black in the inner city are likely related to those foreigners!"

"In other words, the foreigners are the real masterminds behind the scenes!"

"I didn't expect them to lose their patience so quickly, even bringing along a few lackeys to come here for some 'Martial Arts Exchange'?"

"I think this Martial Arts Exchange is fake, and playing tricks behind the scenes is what's real!"

General Yi Nanshan's words struck the nail on the head.

Old Yao also nodded: "That's right, they are indeed coming with a purpose this time!"

"However, we haven't grasped exactly what that purpose is!"

"In twenty-something days, the day of the exchange will be here!"

"Old Yi, why don't you and the Old Celestial Master go back to the inner city and preside over this Martial Arts Exchange, how about that?"

As soon as these words were spoken, General Yi Nanshan looked up at him.

"Celestial Master Mu Ru and I go back? Then who will guard this place?"

"If those great Yao Beasts attack the Restriction at this time, who can resist them?"

General Yi Nanshan threw out several questions in succession.

It immediately left Old Yao speechless.

Although Yi Xiaotian is the war zone general here, he is ultimately still too green.

It's fine to let him manage the troops and resist some minor skirmishes from Yao Beasts normally.

But this time, what they have to face are great Yao Beasts in the Tongxin Realm.

Even though General Yi Nanshan and the Old Celestial Master are here, they cannot resist that great Yao Beast.

However, it is still much better than Yi Xiaotian alone.

If they really left, who could truly rest easy?

Just when Old Yao was also in a dilemma, the Old Celestial Master smiled: "How about I recommend someone to you?"

"Oh? Please go ahead, Old Celestial Master!"

Old Yao raised an eyebrow, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

Chapter 347: Besides him, who else is qualified?

"Who?"

The several guardians all looked at the Old Celestial Master.

He smiled lightly: "Martial Suppression Bureau, He Jianguo!"

"Old He?"

When Old Yao and the others heard that the person recommended by the Old Celestial Master was actually He Jianguo, they were all a bit dumbfounded.

In fact, the Martial Alliance and the Martial Suppression Bureau have always had a feeling of having different Daos and not conspiring together.

Their positions are different, and their opinions often clash.

They have argued more than once or twice.

People from the Martial Suppression Bureau look down on the Martial Alliance.

And people from the Martial Alliance believe that the Martial Suppression Bureau relies on being directly under the Martial God and has an arrogant attitude of bullying others.

In short, the Martial Suppression Bureau and the Martial Alliance are at odds.

It hasn't been a matter of just one or two days.

Therefore, when the Old Celestial Master suggested having Old He preside over this Martial Arts Exchange, their expressions all darkened.

Only General Yi Nanshan had a slight smile on his face.

Among the people present, perhaps only he and Old He got along reasonably well.

"Old Yao, what are you still hesitating about?"

"For this Martial Arts Exchange, you yourself said earlier that those foreigners have impure intentions and are not coming with good intentions. If there isn't an elder in charge of suppression at home, who can hold them down?"

"Celestial Master Mu Ru and I cannot leave, and needless to say, neither can you!"

"Besides Old He, is there a more suitable candidate?"

"How about this: as long as you agree, I will personally call Old He and ask him to preside over the Martial Arts Exchange. If you don't agree, then you can find this candidate yourself!"
