252: Purple Beast Clan's Scheme
"Master, can you hear me? Master?"
Li Haotian was sitting cross-legged on the ground, resting and preparing to enter a state of Cultivation, when he suddenly heard a voice that felt very familiar, yet he couldn't recall whose it was.
If the other party called him Master, it should be someone he had known before.
After thinking rapidly for a long while, Li Haotian finally remembered Ta Ze, whom he had met in the Secret Realm.
"What's wrong?"
Li Haotian established a mental channel with the other party, allowing them to communicate remotely, and asked.
"It's bad, Master. You told us to report immediately if there was any movement from our race, and what I must tell you now is that the Purple Beast Clan intends to attack the Heavenly Domain!"
Ta Ze's tone was very sincere. Although he was very unwilling to betray his own race, he was helpless because of the Restriction on his body; if he violated it, he would die immediately.
So much time had passed, and he hadn't provided any effective information. This time, he only hurriedly provided it because he suddenly remembered; this matter had been decided long ago.
If it weren't for the fact that he suddenly remembered he had a Master in the Heavenly Domain, he might have even forgotten about this. If he had truly forgotten, he would have instantly died the moment the Purple Beast Clan attacked the Heavenly Domain.
To save his own life and avoid being killed, he immediately revealed everything he knew and contacted Li Haotian as quickly as possible.
Upon hearing the other party's words, a look of disdain immediately appeared on Li Haotian's face, and he let out a cold snort.
"Are you joking with me? You have already lost all your advantages at the Fissure. You can't even cross the Human Race city walls now, let alone attack us here."
"Besides, I recall that your Purple Beast Clan has already withdrawn from the contested area of the Fissure. You don't even have a foothold at the Fissure, so how can you attack the Heavenly Domain?"
Li Haotian curled his lip, thinking this guy was trying to fool him and might have some ulterior motive. He intended to cut off the connection and continue his Cultivation, but then he heard Ta Ze reveal a shocking secret.
"Please don't be impatient. Listen to me: there are still insiders on your Human Race side. This time, they aren't these factions of yours, but a group of Mortals!"
Li Haotian was stunned upon hearing this, and a giant question mark appeared in his mind: a group of Mortals??
A group of Mortals had no way to open a wormhole, possessed no Cultivation, and certainly couldn't threaten the major Sects. Even if they wanted to help foreign races invade the Heavenly Domain, they likely lacked the means to do so.
"Can you say everything clearly at once and explain to me exactly what is happening? Don't keep making me guess."
Li Haotian's patience was gradually fading. This guy only said half of what he meant every time, leaving one feeling endlessly frustrated.
"It is like this, Master. These Human Race members intend to sacrifice themselves to tear open a wormhole, and the object of the sacrifice is naturally us."
"They are also a kingdom of Mortals, brainwashed by an evil cult. That evil cult's Legacy is the ideology of our Purple Beast Clan."
"The formation they are using to sacrifice is a massive teleportation formation. If they can draw such formations in every household and then commit suicide upon them, their Physical Body and Soul will be transmitted to us through the wormhole, serving as a sacrifice to us."
"Once this wormhole is large enough and stable enough, our Purple Beast Clan will invade the Human Race through this wormhole, striking from your rear and catching you off guard!"
Upon hearing this, Li Haotian's expression changed slightly. He had never expected such a thing to happen.
Logically speaking, Mortals of the Human Race shouldn't have the courage to commit suicide directly; after all, they pray to gods and Buddhas only for a better life.
Yet now they were willing to dedicate themselves and sacrifice their lives for an illusory religion. Such claims felt strange to Li Haotian.
"Can you be certain that this information is true and reliable? Why do I always feel like something is strange?"
There was a hint of a threat in Li Haotian's tone.
Ta Ze understood that the other party could not fully trust him, so he immediately swore an oath to the Heavenly Dao in front of him, which finally made him completely believe every word he said.
After receiving the news, Li Haotian immediately began sending his Disciples to travel throughout the Mortal world to check which Human Race members were worshipping certain cults.
Especially those Sects that required self-sacrifice to receive divine blessings or gain wealth.
He sought to carefully track their movements, attempting to nip the bud before these people could begin their sacrifices.
The entire Heavenly Domain was vast, and the region under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Profound Sect was merely a corner of it.
After some thought, Li Haotian decided to utilize the authority of being the number one power in the world to convene a World Assembly, allowing all factions in the Heavenly Domain to attend this grand event and discuss with him how to deal with this matter. Relying solely on his own strength was absolutely insufficient; he had to unite everyone to search together.
At first, he thought the wormhole opened by a few people's sacrifices wouldn't be particularly large, but after asking, he learned that the country actually had tens of billions of people. If they all committed suicide for the sacrifice, it would likely instantly form an extremely stable wormhole. By then, it wouldn't just be the Purple Beast Clan that could pass through; other races could do the same.
If it truly reached that point, the entire Heavenly Domain would likely fall instantly. It would be unrealistic for them to try to locate and destroy the wormhole.
Before this, Li Haotian had already dispatched his Disciples and Great Emperor Powerhouses to search everywhere, just to find where those Mortals were.
Crimson Gold and the others sat in the conference room. Having received the news, they had rushed over immediately. Within three days, everyone had arrived, and the leaders of the 100 strongest factions in the Heavenly Domain were all gathered here.
"Sect Master Li, for what reason did you call us here for a meeting? You are serving as the Sect Head of the number one Sect in the world for the first time, so you might not be familiar with the rules. Calling us here requires discussing major matters; otherwise, you will lose this right."
"If you call us here casually without any particularly serious matter, merely just to hold a meeting, your right to summon everyone will be lost forever."
The Sect Head of the Divine Mirror Sect spoke loudly, still feeling somewhat dissatisfied about being summoned.
He had been in the critical stage of seclusion when he was suddenly summoned. He had been on the verge of a Breakthrough to Great Emperor, but now everything had vanished into bubbles, so naturally, he was extremely annoyed.
