Chapter 223: Lingshan Crisis (Part 1)

"ah……"

Lingluan was also startled by her sudden change of expression, and murmured, "Mother...what's wrong?"

“No…nothing.

Ms. Jiang shook her head slightly and smiled. Her expression quickly returned to normal. She chuckled and said, "I know you are worried about his injury, but do you know what the seeds of Dieffenbachia mean?"

"I know...that's why I came to my mother to find a solution..."

Ling Luan murmured softly, while crawling into her arms, and whispered, "What must I do before grandpa is willing to give the seeds of Dieffenbachia to Wuchen? He saved me this time, if not If he says so, Ling'er will never see her mother again..."

Seeing her appearance at this time, Mrs. Jiang couldn't help but sigh in her heart. This time, it was all thanks to Wuchen that Ling'er was able to escape. If the other party really needed the seeds of Dieffenbachia to save his life, Ling'er would not be able to survive that day. Maybe it's not a humane thing, but the matter is so big that just the sect leader's words don't count.

Both mother and daughter gradually stopped talking. At the same time, in the Tianling Sect's main hall, the door was closed. There were five people sitting in the hall, four old men with white beards, and an old woman with silver hair.

The five people frowned tightly, especially the man at the head of the palace. He was wearing a sandalwood robe and had white hair and beard. He was Chu Tianqing, the master of Tianling Sect and Lingluan's grandfather.

The four people below are the four great elders of Tianling Sect. Chu Tianhe was also there during the day. These five people are now the five most powerful people in Tianling Sect.

At this moment, the five people were silent, and the atmosphere in the hall became extremely solid. On the table in front of Chu Tianqing, there were only seven withered leaves placed on it.

"Even the Dieffenbachia has begun to wither. How long does the sect leader think we can keep this matter a secret?"

At this moment, an old man in red robes on the left side of the hall suddenly spoke. He had sharp eyebrows and deep eyes. It was Chu Tianyun, the second elder of Tianling Sect.

Next to him is a white-haired old woman wearing a purple shirt who looks very stern. She is holding a red sandalwood stick in her hand. This old woman is the fourth elder of Tianling Sect, named Tian Qi. Outsiders call her Granny Tian Qi.

"If the old lady remembers correctly, last winter, four leaves of Dieffenbachia withered, and this winter, seven leaves suddenly withered."

Granny Tian Qi narrowed her eyes and spoke attentively. She paused for a while, then looked at the others, and continued, "What does this mean?"

The hall was silent again. After a long time, an old man in green shirt in the hall on the right said, "It means that the spiritual power of Lingshan... is about to be exhausted. Once the spiritual power of Lingshan and the spiritual power of the earth's spiritual veins are interrupted, Lingshan will not only lose its spiritual power instantly." Source, the spiritual power will return by then, and the spiritual power will be exhausted within half a month at most. "

This old man in green shirt is holding a green jade flute in his hand. He is the fifth elder of Tianling Sect, known as "Mr. Xiaoxiang". Although he is the last among the five elders, he is more knowledgeable about many things than others. See more clearly.

After pausing for a while, he continued, "Once the spiritual power is exhausted, the entire Lingshan defensive array and restrictions will be ineffective, and the Yinshan Sect will definitely attack... The casualties may be immeasurable."

The hall fell into silence again. The four elders all looked at the sect leader at the head of the hall. Chu Tianqing also remained silent. After a long time, he took a deep breath and said, "The ancestor chose this place to establish his sect. It has been more than 3,000 years ago. The Patriarch once swore that the spiritual power of this place is endless and will never be exhausted in ten thousand years. But now..."

When he said this, he couldn't help but frown deeply. The biggest crisis faced by Tianling Sect at the moment was that the spiritual power of Lingshan and the spiritual power of a branch of the earth's spiritual vein underground were about to be interrupted.

The reason why Lingshan has sufficient spiritual power and unfailing spiritual energy for thousands of years is precisely because the spiritual power of this mountain is locked to the branch of the earth's spiritual vein underground. Once the spiritual power of this branch of the spiritual vein is interrupted, then the entire mountain will be destroyed. The spiritual power of Lingshan will flow back, and the result will be the same as draining away all the water from a lake in the desert. Soon it will become a desert of death without any life.

So now, the Tianling Sect, which still looks strong on the surface, is actually in danger, and the disciples still don't know that the spiritual power is about to be interrupted, but even the Dieffenbachia has begun to wither, and the spiritual power is about to be interrupted. How long can we keep this matter secret for a long time?

The five people in the hall didn't speak. After a long time, the third elder Chu Tianhe said, "For thousands of years, the connection between Lingshan and the branches of the earth's spiritual veins has always been very stable. Why is the spiritual power suddenly interrupted now? Has the sect leader seen it? One or two?”

Chu Tianqing was silent for a while, and then looked at the four people below. At this moment, his face suddenly became extremely solemn, and he asked, "Do you still remember that one night more than twenty years ago? That streak of white light across the sky?"

"More than twenty years ago..."

The expressions on the faces of the four people were solemn. They naturally remembered clearly that that night more than 20 years ago, a white light seemed to come from outside the sky without any warning. But after the white light left, what did it look like? Nothing happened. This was the strangest omen in the ancient land of Xianyuan in the past ten thousand years.

Chu Tianqing said, "That white light should have fallen to the other side of the desert."

"On the other side of the desert... the sect master is talking about the five realms of Xianyuan?"

The faces of the four people below suddenly became serious. Chu Tianqing nodded slightly, "Yes, the five regions of Xianyuan are the places with the most spiritual energy in the entire Xianyuan ancient land. There was a natural phenomenon more than 20 years ago. Now... If I guess correctly, the spiritual power of the other ancient realms, including our Xianbei Ancient Realm, is being led to the five regions of Xianyuan without knowing it."

"This..."

The faces of the people below changed even more. Only the fifth elder, Mr. Xiaoxiang, remained calm and said slowly, "That is to say, each of the other four ancient realms has a spiritual vein of the earth, and this spiritual vein of the earth is being led to the five regions of Xianyuan without knowing it. It may be difficult to stop it with human power."

"So that's it..."

At this moment, the elders finally understood why the spiritual power of Lingshan was suddenly interrupted. It was because the spiritual vein of the earth in the Xianbei Ancient Realm was already being led to the five regions of Xianyuan. The spiritual power of Lingshan and the spiritual vein branch would naturally be interrupted, just like forcibly breaking two ropes tied together.

The shift of the earth's spiritual veins is beyond human control, but the interruption of the spiritual power of the spiritual mountain is not completely unstoppable.

Chu Tianqing frowned again, thinking for a long time, and then said, "There is at most one year left before the spiritual power is interrupted. For now, there are only two ways."
