Lu Xin sensed movement again with his divine sense. It was a Demon Lord in the late stage of the Great Vehicle realm. He quickly transmitted a message, "Another Demon Lord is coming! Everyone, quickly conceal your aura and hide!"
"Another one?"
Everyone was startled. Daoist Xuanji and a few others understood his meaning and quickly transmitted instructions to do as he said.
Having some reaction time, everyone understood his intention. He was planning an ambush. They all restrained their auras and scattered.
While transmitting the message, Lu Xin flashed next to the demonic body, used the Senluo Ghost Seal to collect it, and then hid.
The scene immediately became silent.
Before long, a Demon Lord in the late stage of the Great Vehicle realm crossed thousands of miles and appeared at the entrance of the passage.
"It's actually a spatial passage! Such rich spiritual energy! Could the other side be the Spirit Realm?"
Unexpectedly, the Demon Lord in the late stage of the Great Vehicle realm didn't come over immediately but constantly released his divine sense to probe.
"Not good, there's an ambush!" Then, his expression suddenly changed drastically, and he transformed into a遁光 and fled.
At that moment, more than a dozen attacks suddenly passed through the passage and converged towards him.
However, it was still a step too late. Only a miserable scream was left behind, allowing the other party to escape successfully.
However, he was probably seriously injured.
"Who leaked their aura?" Daoist Xuanji walked out with a grim expression.
Everyone looked at each other, none thinking it was themselves.
Realist Mingshan shook his head, "He said there was an ambush, and he discovered more than one person."
Realist Xuanji sighed and looked at the spatial passage, "This crack has widened a lot. It's impossible to repair it in a short time, and now it's been exposed. Discuss and come up with an idea."
Realist Mingshan said, "Since that's the case, I think the most urgent task is to spread the news and prepare for a great battle."
"Indeed."
Everyone nodded in agreement. Lu Xin didn't express his opinion. Seeing that everyone thought so, Daoist Xuanji sent Tian Zijing back to notify the various forces in Zhongzhou.
Afterward, he led everyone to set up many killing formations and sealing formations on the Spirit Realm side to block the Demon Realm's advance.
After setting up the formations, Realist Lingxu suddenly said, "I think the Demon Realm is about the same size as our Spirit Realm. If they want to launch a great battle like last time, they will need a long time to prepare."
"So, I estimate that the ones who come over first will definitely be a group of powerful individuals very close to this place, and it's even debatable whether they will attack us."
Everyone thought about it and realized that this was indeed the case. Realist Mingshan retorted, "No matter what, it's always right for us to prepare first."
Realist Lingxu smiled, "I'm just comforting everyone, aren't we still have plenty of time?"
Everyone smiled slightly upon hearing this. Daoist Xuanji stroked his beard, looked at Lu Xin, and nodded repeatedly, asking, "Little friend Lu, do you have any thoughts?"
Everyone looked at him upon hearing this. After the battle just now, although Lu Xin didn't reveal much strength, they clearly felt that he was strong, at least comparable to them.
So, these old monsters in the Tribulation Transcending realm already regarded him as being on the same level.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, feel free to speak your mind."
Lu Xin thought for a moment, "I just have a doubt. When we go to the Demon Realm, we won't have spiritual energy to support us, and our strength will be greatly reduced. Moreover, relying solely on the mana in our bodies, we won't be able to fight for long."
"Similarly, the demons will face the same problem when they come to our Spirit Realm."
"Fellow Daoist Lu is asking, why would the demons attack us if there is this problem?"
Lu Xin nodded.
Realist Lingxu replied with a smile, "It's very simple, because they have a mysterious demonic artifact that can demonize the territory of our Spirit Realm."
Lu Xin suddenly understood, "Then, don't we have spiritual artifacts to spiritualize their Demon Realm?"
Everyone shook their heads. Daoist Xuanji said, "Our predecessors once suspected that the demonic artifact was not something the demons could possess. It was likely passed down from the Upper Realm."
"However, according to records, when the demons came last time, our predecessors joined forces to destroy that demonic artifact. Although they didn't succeed, they greatly reduced its effectiveness."
An old man in the Tribulation Transcending realm suddenly said, "If that's the case, then the possibility of the Demon Realm launching another invasion is very small?"
"That's right!" Everyone also reacted and looked at Daoist Xuanji.
Daoist Xuanji shook his head, "It's unclear. So many years have passed, and we don't know if they have repaired that demonic artifact, and they may have obtained the same thing again."
After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Xin, "Little friend Lu, did you suddenly ask this because you have some ideas?"
Lu Xin didn't hide anything, "I still think that it's not reliable to hope that the Demon Realm won't take the initiative to attack us. We should strike first and take the initiative to attack to deter them."
Everyone was stunned upon hearing this. Realist Lingxu asked in confusion, "Fellow Daoist Lu, why do you always want to attack?"
Lu Xin first told the story of the demon race invading the Donghua Region before, and then said, "When you have the advantage, you must strike decisively. It's not too late to retreat and conserve your strength after the advantage is gone."
Everyone thought about it carefully, and it seemed to make sense.
The old man in the Tribulation Transcending realm said, "But if the demons have no intention of attacking us at all, wouldn't doing so provoke a great war?"
"Moreover, going over is too risky. I don't agree." He shook his head.
Lu Xin glanced at him and then scanned the expressions of the others, finding that most people had the same thought.
Thinking about it, they didn't have his strong physical body. After going over, their combat power would be greatly weakened, so this suggestion was indeed a bit unstable, so he gave up.
Seeing that he didn't insist, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Only Daoist Xuanji stroked his beard, his eyes deep, not knowing what he was thinking.
"Are you very disappointed?"
After arranging the guarding matters, Daoist Xuanji invited Lu Xin to check for loopholes in the formation.
Lu Xin shook his head, "Their thoughts are not wrong either."
Daoist Xuanji smiled and said, "It's good that you can think like this. Actually, according to this old Taoist's temper back then, I would have rushed over to kill them, but I can't do it now. My own life is not important, but there is still a bunch of little guys behind me to protect."
Lu Xin understood. This was a bond. Many of the old guys here were probably the only support of the major forces, so it was normal for them to be afraid to take risks.
However, he was very interested in the old Taoist's fiery temper, "Was Daoist Master's temper like fire before?"
"About the same." Daoist Xuanji smiled and told some stories from the past.
In the blink of an eye, several days passed. The Spirit Realm received news that powerful individuals were constantly coming over, and there was also movement in the Demon Realm. According to people observing in the formation, a large number of people had gathered on the other side, but how many powerful individuals there were was unclear because the divine sense was blocked.
Inside a newly built hall, a group of Great Vehicle and Tribulation Transcending cultivators gathered to discuss how to deal with this matter.
"Everyone, what are your thoughts?" Daoist Xuanji sat in the first seat and asked.
A Tribulation Transcending cultivator said helplessly, "We don't have a spiritual artifact that can spiritualize demonic energy, so we can only see what the demons on the other side are thinking. If they want to attack, we can only fight back. If they want to confront us, we can only accompany them."
Daoist Xuanji pondered for a moment and looked at Realist Mingshan, "Has there been a response to the letter sent over for negotiation?"
Realist Mingshan shook his head. Just then, a Tribulation Transcending cultivator came in and said, "There's news! The other party invites us to meet."
