"I don't know where the Demon Domain is, but I already know that there's a passageway between it and the continent, and it's about two kilometers away from the Devil Nest!" Ye Xiu explained.
Since he mentioned the Demon Domain, then Ye Xiu naturally did not plan to hide it anymore. After all, the reason he called them over was to discuss the matter of this passage.
"The passage?"
Zhao Zixiong and the rest of the seven frowned, but they did not understand what Ye Xiu meant.
Could it be that this Demon Domain is not in this continent, but in some other place, and there is a passage to this continent?
"Patriarchs, that tunnel is a quagmire. I have already seen it, the mud in that quagmire is now dry and cracked, and when that mud becomes moist, it means that the passageway to Demon Domain has opened." Ye Xiu replied.
"Ye Xiu, just tell us what this is all about." Luo Lie suggested.
Luo Lie knew that Ye Xiu wanted to explain this matter more clearly, but regardless of whether the mud was dry or wet, the only thing they wanted to know was why Ye Xiu had brought them here, and when the demons would appear at the mouth of the tunnel.
"Alright, then I'll briefly explain. I want you seven clans to send some people over there to observe the situation of the soil. Once the soil is discovered to be moist, we'll be able to prepare as soon as possible." Ye Xiu said truthfully.
"Set up camp?"
When the seven clan leaders heard the request, they all frowned, because Ye Xiu meant for them to send some people to guard the place.
It had to be known that that place was a very dark place. Adding to the fact that there were a lot of Profound Beast, if they sent a few people there, they might not be able to come back.
Moreover, if the demons really did appear, then the people stationed there would definitely be in danger at the first possible moment, and who would be willing to go on such a dangerous mission?
Although they were the patriarchs, they had the authority to order their own guards to station themselves, but if they used a forceful method, it could easily cause the loss of manpower.
Most of the guards in each clan were recruited from the outside world. They became the guards of each clan, and these clans paid them according to what they needed.
However, if they promised Ye Xiu, then the only way would be to raise their pay. As long as the price was reasonable, no matter how dangerous the place was, there would definitely be people who would be willing to take the risk.
However, if they really did agree, then how long would it take for them to camp? If the mud in the mud was always dry, then would they have to send people there?
Of course, if the soil is moist, that means that the passageway will open and the demons will appear. Thus, if they have a choice, they naturally don't want the soil to turn from dry to wet.
"Ye Xiu, if you camp aimlessly, it will only waste your manpower and financial resources. You might not know this, but the majority of the guards in the family are all outsiders, so it would be very costly to get them to station at dangerous places." Luo Lie said.
Ye Xiu did not say when the passage would open, maybe he did not know, but because of this, if it was opened more than ten or twenty years ago, would they send people to camp there for more than twenty years?
"Sect Master Luo, are you worried that those devils won't come?" Ye Xiu asked.
Luo Lie was worried that their encampment was meaningless. If the demons did not come, then they would have wasted a lot of their lives.
Ah!
Regarding Ye Xiu's question, Luo Lie was momentarily at a loss as to how to answer. Could it be that he wanted to summon the devil over?
This was absolutely impossible. Although they had never experienced any kind of demonic energy before, even the demonic energy that they felt in the Devil's Cave already allowed him to have a certain level of understanding towards demonic energy.
If the demons really did come, it would have a huge impact on them, and even the entire continent.
"Ye Xiu, look at what you're saying, why would I wish for the devils to come, is this news of yours accurate? That quagmire you mentioned is actually a passageway to which Demon Domain? " Luo Lie explained.
Firstly, Luo Lie and the other patriarchs were all curious how Ye Xiu knew about this news. Did he know about it from the demons?
But, as a demon, would it honestly say this passage?
Even if they said it out loud, who could guarantee that the passage was real? If it was fake and there was something else in the passage, then not only would their efforts be in vain, but they would also be caught unprepared by the demons.
"Don't worry, this news is absolutely true. There is no need to doubt it. Of course, I am only discussing it with the various clan leaders. If you do not agree, then I have no other choice. Just pretend that I did not agree to it." Ye Xiu said.
When Ye Xiu said this, he observed the expressions of the seven clan leaders, which were a little unwilling.
"So it's like that, it's fine if you don't want to send people to camp, since I've already set up two Profound Array s around the mud pit, although they are not very strong, but if the demons really were to come, then we can definitely give them a warning, and that will cause them to not dare to do anything." Ye Xiu said.
"Ye Xiu, that's not what we meant, what's more, you're doing this for our own good, if the mud you're talking about really has something to do with that Demon Domain, when the devil really comes over, the first thing he'll be facing will definitely be our Tiantang City." Zhao Zixiong explained.
Before, Zhao Zixiong had promised that as long as Ye Xiu said something, he would do it. But now, he was hesitating, and this matter was not because of him, but for them.
"Actually, I understand you. There are a lot of Profound Beast in that place, and all of them have some demonic energy, so normal guards would simply be throwing their lives away. So if you go and camp there, the price is indeed not small." Ye Xiu thought for a while and said.
Standing guard wasn't a solution, but if they didn't, they would at least send some people to observe from time to time.
Although the entire quagmire was surrounded by the Profound Array, if the Profound Array was in a hibernating state, it would not reveal itself. Thus, it would not be a problem to observe the situation of the quagmire from the side.
"Ye Xiu, then you mean that we will not be stationed here, what if the demons really come?" Ke Yunhai frowned.
They had already experienced the power of a demon. Although that demon was a rarely seen powerful demon, even if it was an ordinary demon who launched a sneak attack, it would still be enough to catch them off guard and cause them great losses.
It couldn't be helped, since their city was so close to the demon's lair. The other seven families were actually guarding a group of Killing Demon Seven Stars Knife, which obviously meant that the seven families had interacted with demons in the past.
I can understand that. How about this, you seven families will form a team to exterminate the demon, and this team will go to the quagmire at regular intervals to take a look at the situation of the mud in the quagmire. Ye Xiu suggested again.
However, if they were to circle around, they would not be too far away. Even if they met a Profound Beast, it would only be considered an experiential learning.
As for the members of the exorcism squad, Ye Xiu had already decided long ago that besides the fact that every clan would send one or two strong guards, he would also send the rest of the six.
When Ye Xiu's suggestion was said, the seven clan leaders immediately continued to think about it, and this was what Ye Xiu had said of his plan in his heart.
Of course, when Ye Xiu said out the six of them, only Ma Zeyu's expression became ugly, because his son was gone.
Although this was what Ma Zeyu did not want to see the most, at this point, no matter how angry he was, what was the use of it?
"Ye Xiu, although exorcism is everyone's affair, my Ma family has already paid the price, so these six families can set up some exorcism squad, and my Ma family won't participate, I hope the six clan leaders can understand me." Ma Zeyu said.
After Ma Zeyu finished speaking, he walked out of the hall without hesitation. The other Clan Chiefs naturally understood what he was feeling.
After all, Zhao Tianyi's life and death was still uncertain, so he understood Ma Zeyu's feelings the best.
Of course, even without the Ma family's participation, with the strength of the remaining six clans, it was more than enough to form a team to exterminate the Demons.
This way, because Ye Xiu's suggestion was not bad, not only could it prevent demons from coming to the continent ahead of time, it could also let the younger generations of the six families to train, killing two birds with one stone.
Thus, the six clan leaders unanimously agreed.
"Thank you, clan leaders. In that case, I've already said what I should say. If you have anything else to say, then please disperse." Ye Xiu said.
Although it was slightly different from what he had expected, but overall, it was still considered to be satisfactory. Ye Xiu was already very satisfied.
"Ye Xiu, can I go take a look at the Wings of the Heaven?" When Luo Lie and the others left the Zhao Family Main Hall at the same time, Zhao Zixiong asked Ye Xiu.
"This ?"
With regards to Zhao Zixiong's request, Ye Xiu revealed a look of hesitation.
"Ye Xiu, could it be that something really happened to my son? How about this, tell me the truth, and I will be able to bear everything." Looking at Ye Xiu's troubled expression, Zhao Zixiong took a deep breath and replied.
"Sect Master Zhao, things are a bit different than what you think, but if you really want to go take a look, then you have to agree to one of my requests. No matter what you see or what you hear, you cannot interfere, or else, I will not take responsibility for whatever happened to your son." Ye Xiu said.
Ye Xiu could naturally understand Zhao Zixiong's feelings. As a parent, who wasn't worried about their child?2
But because of that, Ye Xiu was worried that Zhao Tianyi would panic when he saw Zhao Tianyi's current state, and then uncontrollably wanted to help Zhao Tianyi.
However, with Zhao Tianyi's current situation, if Zhao Zixiong really were to help him, it would instead be harming him.
Thus, while he could see through it in the past, he could not interfere in the slightest.
