96: Let my two disciples come out to see me!

Upon hearing this, everyone's faces lit up with joy.

Chen Qingxuan was the first to step forward, smiling, “Then we shall trouble Lord Li. Your Royal Highness, Prince Yan, perhaps we should discuss this at Lord Li’s place!”

If there was more precise information about the Giant Spirit Hall, dealing with it would certainly be much better than a head-on assault.

Everyone wanted themselves and the disciples of their respective sects to survive, or at least suffer fewer injuries, so losing a little face for Prince Yan was irrelevant.

Mu Yunxiao merely smiled calmly, displaying a broad mind, and raised his hand to the crowd, “Since Lord Li has intelligence, that is naturally for the best. Please, everyone!”

A group of powerful sect experts and rogue cultivator representatives followed Li Shengyuan to the giant ship. Those who could come here to discuss important matters were at least of the Fourth-Rank cultivation, and could be considered well-traveled.

Even so, upon boarding the ship, everyone looked around with curiosity and envy.

They secretly thought to themselves, if only they had a ship like this…

Everyone followed Li Shengyuan and arrived at a huge meeting hall on the ship.

Along the way, they got to know each other a bit.

Li Shengyuan unceremoniously took the main seat, while Wang Zhen and others stood by, assisting.

Then, with a wave of Ye Hangzhou’s hand, a holographic projection of the Giant Spirit Hall appeared before everyone, a scaled-down version of the Giant Spirit Hall’s mountain gate.

Li Shengyuan then pointed his hand, and several red dots appeared on the holographic projection, then he said with a solemn expression:

“Chief Ye and I have already gone to investigate. The Giant Spirit Hall’s sect-protecting array is quite extraordinary; a direct assault is certainly not feasible. And these points are the weak spots of the sect-protecting array…”

Li Shengyuan explained the findings one by one. Chen Qingxuan and many other high-ranking officials from various major sects listened with equally serious expressions, almost ready to pull out small notebooks to jot things down.

Of course, with a Fourth-Rank’s memory, that was certainly unnecessary…

There were questions, and Li Shengyuan answered them one by one, but no one voiced any doubts.

Everyone also knew that for this demon-extermination assembly, besides Prince Yan, another main leader was the Imperial Envoy Li Shengyuan!

Although Li Shengyuan was very young, even overly young, much younger than many disciples under his command, no one dared to underestimate him, nor would they treat him as a greenhorn!

The Fourth-Rank Perfected pressure emanating from him alone was stronger than ninety-nine percent of the people present. In terms of cultivation, no one dared to disobey him!

Not to mention he was also the demon-extermination minister personally appointed by the current Emperor. Who would dare to defy him?

Unless they wanted to become the next Giant Spirit Hall!

Moreover, the Chief Ye he mentioned also attracted everyone’s attention.

Everyone looked at Ye Hangzhou, who stood shoulder to shoulder with him, with fervent gazes. This person was a hot commodity!

Not to mention his powerful Third-Rank strength, just his identity as the second Chief of the Imperial Observatory made him an object of flattery and favoritism for everyone.

If they could establish business connections with the Imperial Observatory, their future lives would be much more comfortable!

And if they could even establish a good relationship with Ye Hangzhou himself, the benefits would be unimaginable!

A Third-Rank Artificer!

He had so many skills at his disposal!

Just casually refining a pill or a magical artifact would be enough for them to fight over!

Unfortunately, Ye Hangzhou remained silent throughout, and never even gave them a direct look. His demeanor as a master was too strong; there was no chance to flatter him or get close…

They could only wholeheartedly listen to Li Shengyuan’s arrangements and action plan.

Mu Yunxiao kept a faint smile on his face throughout, but his heart grew heavier and heavier.

These two fellows secretly slipped away beforehand, and it was indeed premeditated!

In just a short while, the Giant Spirit Hall’s defensive measures had been largely deciphered…

The Giant Spirit Hall, already at a disadvantage, would surely be finished if it had no other tricks up its sleeve!

And… was this truly everything Li Shengyuan knew?

Mu Yunxiao’s heart sank slightly as he looked at Li Shengyuan, who wore a confident smile.

After finishing all the information and roughly arranging the battle plan, Li Shengyuan looked at the silent Mu Yunxiao and asked with a smile:

“Your Royal Highness, Prince Yan, do you see anything that needs to be added to my plan?”

Mu Yunxiao stood up and began to applaud, smiling, “Lord Li’s plan is very comprehensive. This prince finds no problems with it.”

“I never imagined that Lord Li and Chief Ye could investigate the Giant Spirit Hall’s situation so clearly and quickly. This prince is truly astonished!”

“You’ve worked hard, both of you!”

Li Shengyuan smiled and waved his hand, “Thanks to Chief Ye’s assistance!”

“As the saying goes: know yourself and your enemy, and you will never be defeated! To reduce everyone’s casualties, this is essential!”

Then, he solemnly cupped his fists towards the powerful sect experts present, saying:

“Shengyuan thanks everyone in advance here. The upcoming great battle will trouble everyone!”

“Rest assured, Lord Li, exterminating demons and defending the righteous path is our undeniable duty!”

Chen Qingxuan returned the bow to Li Shengyuan with a smile, saying, “Lord Li has prepared so thoroughly. We have nearly thirty Fourth-Rank experts, and also Your Highness, Palace Master Yue, Chief Ye, General Zhou, and other Third-Rank experts. A mere Giant Spirit Hall is but a paper tiger!”

“Sect Leader Chen is right; taking down the Giant Spirit Hall is just around the corner.”

Everyone echoed, their faces full of confidence.

If nothing unexpected happened, there would indeed be no problem, but unfortunately… Li Shengyuan sighed inwardly.

On his face, however, he smiled and said, “It’s good that everyone is confident, but you must not be careless. The experts of the Demonic Cult will certainly not stand idly by, to prevent any unforeseen circumstances!”

“That is natural!” Everyone nodded.

After some more discussion, the many sect experts successively rose and departed.

Li Shengyuan had handled the overall coordination generously; the details and the deployment of each sect’s experts would require their own careful consideration.

This was a battle where people would die; there was no room for even a little carelessness!

It was a pity that they couldn't speak with Chief Ye or build a good relationship with him.

This Chief Ye was truly too aloof; no matter what they said to him, he maintained a calm expression and didn't even reply, making him too difficult to deal with… This was the collective impression of Ye Hangzhou among many sect experts.

However, he was a Third-Rank Artificer, so he had the capital to be aloof and look down on them!

They just didn’t know what this Chief Ye liked; it would be great if they could cater to his preferences.

Ask Lord Li, he should know.

This was the thought in many people’s minds. If they could connect with Ye Hangzhou, the benefits would be far greater than splitting the spoils of the Giant Spirit Hall!

When most of the people had left, a few remained seated.

Li Shengyuan looked at the frosty-faced Yue Xiyan and the elders of Yuehua Palace, feeling a bit of a headache.

Mengmeng’s master had an excessively cold demeanor, looking as if she wanted no one to approach.

Her veiled appearance, for Li Shengyuan who had seen her full face, gave him a unique sense of charm.

However, Li Shengyuan always felt a little guilty when facing her.

Not long ago, he had inexplicably taken her disciple’s primordial yin, and now he had to face her guardian…

And he always felt that from the moment they met until now, Palace Master Yue’s gaze towards him carried a hint of annoyance!

Before the smiling Li Shengyuan could speak first.

Yue Xiyan, with a cold face, said coolly:

“Lord Li, may I ask you to let my two disciples come out to see me!”
