This statement caused everyone to be shocked and all kinds of discussions.

But with Lan Xiao's decision, a tense atmosphere permeated the entire hall.

"Shadow Sect?"

An Luofeng looked at Lan Xiao with a puzzled expression, "Who are they?" ”

Lu Yuan's eyes flashed, recalling what had happened in Qingfeng Village before.

At that time, Cold Blood had mentioned the Phantom Shadow Sect, and it seemed to be a force hidden in the shadows.

"Lan Xiao, why did you return the badge to them?"

"Where are they?" Taishang Dao Ancestor took the lead in asking.

Lan Xiao was silent for a moment, and then slowly spoke: "I received a letter earlier, a messenger from the Phantom Shadow Sect. ”

"The letter tells me that the Red Lotus Sect is not really an enemy, but a larger force hidden in the shadows."

The hearts of the crowd jumped.

Mo Lie also leaned over, waiting for the details with anticipation.

"The messenger told me that the Red Lotus Cult is nothing more than a tool used by the Shadow Sect to attract attention and divide our attention."

"Their purpose is to get their hands on a legendary treasure." Lan Xiao's tone was heavy.

"Treasure?" The crowd was shocked.

Lan Xiao nodded: "This treasure is said to have infinite power and can change the entire immortal world. ”

Hearing this, everyone's faces showed solemnity.

They finally understood that the reason why the Lingxiao Temple was determined to destroy all those who might resist them was to obtain this treasure. In the Firmament Sanctuary, a tense atmosphere enveloped everyone.

Xia Lingyun felt that the chaotic scene needed to be re-stabilized and unified, and he hoped to de-escalate the situation and find a better solution.

The Heavenly Wind Swordsman stood in front of Cold Blood, his gaze firmly fixed on her.

He managed to suppress the cold blood, making it impossible for her to fight back.

"You're going to hand over the cold blood!"

"Otherwise, we will have to act as a last resort."

There was a steadfastness and majesty in his voice.

Xia Lingyun hesitated in his heart.

He knew that handing over the cold blood might be able to calm the current crisis, but at the same time, it would also cause harm to Lu Yuan and the others.

"Lord Heavenly Wind Swordsman, please give me a little time."

He tried to ease the tension, "I'll find a way to fix this." ”

The Heavenly Wind Swordsman was silent for a moment and nodded understandingly.

As a smart and responsible person, Xia Lingyun can always find the best solution.

But at the same time, he is also aware of the power he has and the meaning of his existence.

Xia Lingyun turned to everyone, "What should we do?" ”

"I don't want to see anyone hurt, but the crisis is real."

Lu Yuan clenched the Tiangang Thunder Fire Sword in his hand, his gaze firm.

"We cannot succumb to fear and threat!"

"We are fighting for justice."

Su Liyan stood beside Lu Yuan, she waved the ice crystal whip, her eyes were firm.

"We have the responsibility to protect the interests of the Phantom Sect, and we can't let the Red Lotus Sect succeed."

An Luofeng looked at everyone quietly, she knew in her heart that she had to make a choice, "It is impossible for us to let the Red Lotus Sect destroy the Firmament Sanctuary. ”

"Now it seems that I can only rely on myself." Everyone was silent for a moment, staring at Xia Lingyun's expression, waiting for his decision.

Xia Lingyun fell into thought, looking at everyone's nervous faces, he deeply felt the heavy responsibility and responsibility at this moment.

Just as the atmosphere was becoming more solemn, a brisk figure flashed.

Modi flew down from the sky and landed in front of the people, "Do not embarrass you. ”

He smiled.

Everyone turned their heads to look at him, amazed.

"I have a proposal that may solve the current dilemma."

Mo Di glanced around, and it was obvious that he had already considered this plan, "We can give the Phantom Fire to Qingyun Pavilion and the Heavenly Wind Swordsman as compensation. ”

"What?!"

Hearing this proposal, Lu Yuan and Su Liyan were stunned at the same time.

An Luofeng raised his head and looked at Mo Di, "This ...... Is it feasible? ”

"The Phantom Fire is a very important treasure to us."

Modi smiled, "Yes, the Phantom Fire is not an ordinary treasure. ”

"However, at this special moment, if you can use the phantom fire as compensation, it is undoubtedly the best choice."

"This can not only appease the emotions of Qingyun Pavilion and the Heavenly Wind Swordsman, but also avoid greater trouble."

Xia Lingyun frowned, he understood Mo Di's intentions, but he was still a little hesitant to hand over the phantom fire in his heart.

Phantom Fire is not only a precious treasure, but also a significant existence in the cultivation realm.

It possesses endless immortal power, and it is of immeasurable value to cultivators.

Lu Yuan glanced at Su Liyan, and he could also see hesitation and worry in her eyes.

"The Phantom Fire is so important to us that if it is handed over, it may have unpredictable consequences." Lu Yuan frowned, he realized that Mo Di's proposal was indeed somewhat feasible.

If they could hand over the Phantom Fire to Qingyun Pavilion and the Heavenly Wind Swordsman as compensation, they might be able to calm their anger and avoid even greater strife.

However, the cherishing of the Phantom Fire in his heart made it difficult for him to decide.

Su Liyan looked at Lu Yuan's expression and knew that he must be very conflicted in his heart.

She gently patted Lu Yuan's shoulder and signaled him not to be too entangled, "We need to consider the overall situation." ”

She whispered, "If we can protect the Firmament Sanctuary in this way, then it might be worth giving up the Phantom Fire. ”

Xia Lingyun watched everyone make a difficult choice, knowing that this proposal had become the only feasible way at this time.

"Since everyone thinks it's the best option, let's do as Modi says."

He sighed, "Think of the Phantom Fire as a sacrifice we have made for the protection of the Firmament Sanctuary. ”

Modi smiled and nodded, "Sometimes it's necessary to make sacrifices. ”

He turned to look at the meteor shower, "We will set a time limit for this, and if the Shadow Sect cannot provide a satisfactory answer within the allotted time, then the Qingyun Pavilion and its allies will jointly launch an attack. ”

The meteor shower took a deep breath, a hint of helplessness flashing across his face.

He tries to protect Cold Blood from being implicated, but reality tells him that he can only accept this outcome.

"I'll do my best to persuade the Phantom Sect." He said solemnly.

"Okay."

Xia Lingyun nodded, "Modi, please lead some of your companions to the Firmament Sanctuary." ”

"Monitor the Shadow Sect's movements and make sure they adhere to the stipulated time limits."

Mo Di smiled and saluted, "Thanks to the love of Prince Xia, Mo Di will definitely do his best." ”

Lu Yuan, Su Liyan and An Luofeng looked at Mo Di's departing figure with a heavy heart.

Although this choice made everyone feel unwilling, they knew that in the face of such a dangerous situation, only in this way could they protect the Firmament Sanctuary. Lu Yuan came to a secret room in the Apocalypse Valley alone, which was the place where he communicated with the Supreme Dao Ancestor. (End of chapter)
