230: Chapter 230 The Intercepting Sect Enters the Tribulation to Protect Small Clans

A hundred years had passed since the Wood Spirit Clan was exterminated.

The Old Ancestor of the Wood Spirit Clan had already been sent to Fire Cloud Cave by Hongyun, where he was recuperating and reshaping his Dao body with the help of the power of humanity.

Meanwhile, Immortal Pilu had finally rushed back to the East Sea, to Jinao Island.

As soon as he returned to Jinao Island, he hurried anxiously toward the central Biyou Palace.

"Disciple Immortal Pilu requests an audience with Revered Master!"

In front of the great gate of Biyou Palace, Immortal Pilu bowed with cupped hands, his voice resounding.

Inside Biyou Palace, Sect Leader Tongtian lay on his side on a cloud bed.

Looking at the hundreds of Disciples sitting below, he listened to the voice of Immortal Pilu coming from outside the hall.

He looked at Daoist Duobao and asked, "Duobao, which one is this?"

Duobao, who was standing solemnly to the side, heard this and immediately trotted to the spot directly below Tongtian, bowed, and replied, "Reporting to Revered Master, Junior Brother Immortal Pilu is the one hundred and twenty-third Disciple to request an audience."

Tongtian gave a soft hum and waved his hand casually, saying, "Binghuo, let him in!"

"Yes!" × 2

The Binghuo boys guarding the gate acknowledged the order.

Then, one on the left and one on the right, they pushed open the gate of Biyou Palace.

The Fire Boy looked at Immortal Pilu and said, "Go in, Senior Brother Immortal Pilu, Revered Master is waiting for you inside."

"Thank you, two Junior Brothers!"

Immortal Pilu thanked the Binghuo boys, then transformed into a stream of light and fled toward the depths of Biyou Palace.

"Disciple Immortal Pilu greets Revered Master."

Immortal Pilu bowed respectfully to the cloud bed once more.

Tongtian hummed softly, then raised his hand and waved it gently.

A wisp of Shangqing Qi formed another prayer mat below.

"Sit."

"Yes." Immortal Pilu took his seat.

He sat at the very back, looking at the hundreds of Disciples in front of him, already having a vague guess in his heart.

Immortal Pilu turned his head to look forward, toward Lv Yue, who was wearing a dark green Daoist robe, and asked via telepathy:

"Junior Brother Lv Yue, are all of you here for the same reason?"

Hearing the telepathic message, Lv Yue turned his head to look, then nodded slightly.

"We are all the same as you..."

Upon receiving this answer, Immortal Pilu's heart sank, but he still confirmed via telepathy:

"So many Senior and Junior Brothers? Are you all here because the clans you are on good terms with have been exterminated?"

Lv Yue replied:

"Most of them are, and some are from clans that haven't been completely exterminated yet, but they are close."

Isn't that no different from being exterminated?

Immortal Pilu muttered inwardly, then continued to ask via telepathy:

"So you are also here to seek Revered Master's help?"

"Yes," Lv Yue affirmed. "The Poison Dragon Clan of the South Sea was invaded by the Shark People Clan, and the Poison Dragon Clan has been almost wiped out. I want to ask the inner sect Senior Brothers and Senior Sisters to take action and help me rescue the surviving members of the Poison Dragon Clan."

As a Great Luo Cultivator who Cultivates the Dao of Poison, Lv Yue was on good terms with most of the poison-cultivating clans in the Primordial World, and the Poison Dragon Clan was one of them.

Immortal Pilu nodded slightly and asked again:

"Junior Brother, which clan's survivors are you trying to save?"

"The Wood Spirit Clan."

"The Wood Spirit Clan?! That clan in the Eastern Lands that possessed a Quasi-Saint?!"

Hearing this, Lv Yue was shocked, his telepathic voice even trembling:

"Yes... they have already been exterminated."

There was a hint of sadness in Immortal Pilu's voice.

Lv Yue's telepathic message clearly carried horror:

"A Quasi-Saint has fallen so quickly?!"

"This Tribulation... is it that terrifying?!"

Immortal Pilu gave a bitter smile and did not reply, only watching the many Senior and Junior Brothers sitting in front of him silently, his heart feeling incredibly heavy.

Sect Leader Tongtian lay on his side on the cloud bed, taking in all the telepathic conversations of his Disciples below. A cold glint flashed in his eyes, but he never spoke to interrupt them.

'Heavenly Dao... Hongjun...!!'

Time passed slowly, and a few more prayer mats appeared in the hall.

The atmosphere in the hall gradually became heavy.

Immortal Pilu took a deep breath, adjusted his mood, and waited for Revered Master's decision.

...

Another ten years passed.

Sect Leader Tongtian moved.

He looked at Duobao and nodded slowly: "Everyone is here. Begin."

"Yes, Revered Master!"

Daoist Duobao bowed respectfully, then walked to the center and began to read.

His voice was like a great bell, accompanied by the powerful magic power of a Quasi-Saint level and the Luck of the Jie Sect, clearly spreading throughout the entire Biyou Palace, and even piercing through the palace to echo in every corner of Jinao Island.

Every Jie Sect Disciple, whether they were listening to the lecture in the hall or Cultivating or in seclusion on the island, heard this announcement at the same time.

"Fellow Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, the Tribulation has erupted, and countless top-tier clans are taking the opportunity to ravage smaller clans. The Primordial World is suffering, and the people are living in misery."

"Our Jie Sect's doctrine is to intercept a glimmer of survival for all living beings! Today, with Revered Master's permission! The Jie Sect will gather and enter the Tribulation!!"

"Fellow Senior and Junior Brothers, in a few days, you may head to the clans you are on good terms with to garrison them, and in the capacity of Jie Sect Disciples, protect those clans!"

As his voice fell, crisp responses rang out simultaneously inside Biyou Palace and all over Jinao Island:

"We respectfully obey Revered Master's order!!!"

Whether it was the hundreds of Disciples in the hall or the tens of thousands of Jie Sect members on the island, all stood up at the same time and bowed respectfully.

Immortal Pilu sat back down, waiting for Duobao's next words.

Daoist Duobao scanned the audience, and his voice sounded again, but this time it carried a hint of heaviness:

"Fellow Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters, during the Tribulation, the Jie Sect can protect clans that have not yet met with disaster! But... the general trend cannot be changed! Regarding your requests for rescue, it must wait until the end of the Tribulation, when I and the three Junior Sisters can take action to help."

"I hope all Junior Brothers and Junior Sisters will not act rashly out of momentary indignation and add to the Tribulation in vain."

As soon as these words were spoken, the atmosphere in the hall instantly became even heavier.

Many Disciples showed expressions of disappointment, unwillingness, and sadness on their faces.

Immortal Pilu's expression was agitated, his Dao body trembling slightly.

Lv Yue sighed via telepathy: "Senior Brother... it seems we can only wait until after the Tribulation ends."

Immortal Pilu took a deep breath and replied via telepathy:

"Since Revered Master has made a decision, we shall obey."

Sect Leader Tongtian lay on his side on the cloud bed, taking in the emotions of the Disciples below, and said calmly:

"You may all disperse. Prepare yourselves; in the midst of the Tribulation, protect yourselves."

"Yes, Revered Master!"

The Disciples bowed again and left Biyou Palace one after another.

After the Disciples left, Tongtian looked at Duobao and warned: "Tell Jinling, Wudang, and Yunxiao. Tell them to stay in seclusion peacefully and not to leave Jinao Island."

"In this Tribulation, Quasi-Saints are the most likely to enter the Tribulation and die."

In this Tribulation, there are too many Quasi-Saints, and it is too chaotic.

If the Saint's Disciples who are Quasi-Saints enter the Tribulation, they will face those Quasi-Saints whose Tribulation Qi and Karma are both off the charts.

If they are not careful, the Tribulation Qi in the opponent's mind will explode, and the Saint's Disciples will be in a dilemma—fighting is not right, and not fighting is not right either.

Therefore, the most direct solution is to not let the Quasi-Saint Disciples enter the Tribulation. Great Luo is the limit.

"Duobao respectfully obeys Revered Master's order!"

As his voice fell, Duobao also transformed into a stream of light and left Biyou Palace.
