This is the highest council chamber of the Yuhua Sect, and only Daoist Level individuals have the privilege to step foot here.
At this moment, more than twenty Dao Lords are gathered here.
The reason is that the Unrivaled Daoist has exercised their privilege to convene a special Daoist Level council meeting.
Typically, only extremely significant matters would warrant the use of such privilege.
There are also limitations on the number of times it can be used.
Therefore, it is not used lightly.
Once used, unless one is in a state of closed-door meditation or involved in a special task that cannot be abandoned, they must immediately return to attend the special Daoist Level council meeting, no matter their location.
"Unrivaled Daoist, what matter compels you to initiate a special Daoist Level council meeting? I was in closed-door meditation, at a critical moment, and was suddenly summoned."
One of the Dao Lords said.
Being disturbed during closed-door meditation, especially at a crucial moment, undoubtedly causes some resentment.
"Alright, the Unrivaled Daoist must have an important matter; otherwise, this special Daoist Level council meeting would not be initiated lightly. Now that everyone is gathered, let’s listen to what the Unrivaled Daoist has to say."
The Sect Leader of Yuhua spoke up.
"There’s still one person missing."
The Unrivaled Daoist shook their head and said.
"Uh... except for those two who can’t come, isn’t everyone here?"
The Yuhua Sect Leader scanned the room, surprised.
At this moment, the sound of footsteps approached, followed by the entry of an elderly man in a purple robe.
The many Dao Lords present were quite surprised upon seeing this person.
"Yang Mansion Master, why have you come?"
The Yuhua Sect Leader did not expect the Unrivaled Daoist to also call for Yang Mansion Master of the Yuqing Array Mansion.
Though Yang Mansion Master of Yuqing Array Mansion is a Nineteen Basic Array Master, with a status comparable to a Dao Master... he rarely participates in high-level affairs of the Yuhua Sect, let alone such a special Daoist Level council meeting.
"The Unrivaled Daoist called for this old man to come, and indeed, I find it strange too."
The elderly man in the purple robe, Yang Mansion Master, found an empty seat and sat down.
"Since everyone is here, let’s begin."
The Unrivaled Daoist said.
As they spoke, they took out a Glazed Jade Bottle, completely transparent. With a wave of their hand, the Glazed Jade Bottle floated in the air, revealing inside a wisp of black qi slowly wriggling.
"What is this thing?"
"It seems to contain Demonic Qi?"
"It appears to be a living entity."
"This is definitely not a living entity; rather, it seems like some kind of energy spirit..."
The people present were very curious about the contents of the Glazed Jade Bottle.
Yang Mansion Master of Yuqing Array Mansion, after examining it carefully for a moment, his expression changed dramatically: "Unrivaled Daoist, where did you get this thing?"
"It was found in the array pearl of one of the solid array piles in my Unrivaled Dao Palace."
The Unrivaled Daoist looked at Yang Mansion Master and said calmly.
"This, this is impossible, how could this thing show up in my Yuhua Sect?"
Yang Mansion Master clearly recognized it, and his expression became extremely grim.
"Yang Mansion Master, what exactly is this?"
The Yuhua Sect Leader quickly asked.
He could tell from Yang Mansion Master’s reaction that the matter was serious.
"If I’m not mistaken, this should be Array Gu...."
Yang Mansion Master said solemnly.
"Array Gu? What is that?"
Another Dao Lord asked curiously.
Yang Mansion Master immediately explained the origin and use of Array Gu. The Dao Lords present were all shocked upon hearing it.
"Unrivaled Daoist, how did you discover this?"
Yang Mansion Master quickly asked.
"My Daoist couple, Qian Yuan, discovered it.... Yang Mansion Master should know that Qian Yuan has some experience in the Array Formation Technique, and while he was contemplating the array, he inadvertently discovered the existence of this Array Gu."
The Unrivaled Daoist said, "Moreover, the day before the discovery of the Array Gu, the Array Master sent by Yuqing Array Mansion had just performed maintenance on that particular solid array pile."
All eyes turned to Yang Mansion Master.
If the Array Gu indeed appeared after maintenance by an Array Master from Yuqing Array Mansion, then the problem must be related to Yuqing Array Mansion, which explains why the Unrivaled Daoist had also summoned Yang Mansion Master.
"Impossible, the maintenance of all major arrays in the sect is mostly periodic...unless it was the grand maintenance period, but the timing doesn’t coincide."
Yang Mansion Master shook his head.
As the Mansion Master of Yuqing Array Mansion, he is naturally well-versed in the maintenance schedule of the sect’s major arrays.
The maintenance period has not yet arrived.
The grand maintenance period hasn’t arrived either.
Unless it was an individual array’s inspection...but that requires multiple levels of reporting and ultimately his approval as the Mansion Master.
In any case, he had not received any approval request for the inspection of the Unrivaled Dao Palace’s major array recently.
"Therefore, I convened this special Daoist Level council meeting because the matter of the Array Gu is too significant, and we must conduct a comprehensive inspection of all the sect’s major arrays immediately to prevent a similar situation from occurring."
The Unrivaled Daoist said solemnly.
Everyone present knew that what the Unrivaled Daoist said made sense, the harm from the Array Gu was too great, and over time, it could completely damage the Mountain Protection Array.
For the entire Yuhua Sect, the Mountain Protection Array serves as a major protective barrier. Without the Mountain Protection Array, the risks to the sect would greatly increase.
Therefore, the Yuhua Sect Leader swiftly moved to deploy a full inspection of the sect’s major arrays, while also conducting a thorough investigation into the internal affairs of Yuqing Array Mansion...
On the ancient ship of the Primordial Demon Sect.
"My lord, bad news, we’ve just received word that the Array Gu has been discovered, and the Yuhua Sect is conducting a full inspection of the Mountain Protection Array."
In a dimly lit room on the ancient ship, a voice suddenly came from outside.
The Ancient Ship Leader said in a deep voice: "The Array Gu is a secret treasure of our sect, how could it have been discovered?"
"Hmph, what incompetence."
He continued to say: "It seems we can only choose to attack by force now."
