Night Chenchen sighed heavily, "Today, I have urgently summoned all you brothers here... for this matter. How should we proceed? We must reach a decision today; time is of the essence!"
"The reason I said time is of the essence is that I received a secret intelligence earlier. Under the decree of the Law Sovereign, all high-level forces from the Enforcers have already mobilized, even including the long-dormant Elder Council... They will arrive here by noon at the latest tomorrow."
Night Chenchen added, "I believe I don't need to explain further for everyone to understand that among these individuals, there are quite a few ninth rank supremes... Some of them have lived for over ten millennia and were contemporaries of Fengyue. Many have even crossed swords with him, having lost by only a slight margin. Even if their strength is not as good as Fengyue's, they are undoubtedly formidable opponents..."
"What exactly should we do... to respond? That's another issue we can't ignore," Night Chenchen said with a bitter smile, shaking his head in resignation.
Responding and making decisions...
Everyone fell silent for a moment.
The Enforcers' grand mobilization could be considered a true deployment of all their forces, clearly driven by the Law Sovereign's strong demands, even utilizing the "decree of the world". Why would the Law Sovereign make such demands? It goes without saying; none of the attendees are fools—they all understand the situation.
The Law Sovereign, or perhaps the heavenly demons, are in urgent need of a large number of powerful spirits. He is now using the Enforcers' name and strength to convene the Heavenly Cauldron Grand Assembly, gathering many experts in one place, while also gathering all his own top-tier experts. What could he be preparing? One can easily imagine.
Faced with such an unstoppable force, what should we do? Not to mention that Night Chenchen feels uncertain in his heart; even the others present are left in confusion.
Such reckless actions—who does the Law Sovereign truly wish to deal with? It is none other than the nine great families or the nine calamity sword master.
As for other loose cultivators, although there are some experts among them, they are simply not as numerous as those from the nine great families...
Everyone furrowed their brows, their faces serious and silent, not out of pretentiousness, but rather because they had nothing to say and were at a loss for how to respond.
Night Chenchen said, "Right now, we truly have no time to hesitate. Two extremely powerful enemies are already closing in on us, almost within reach. The heavenly demons and the Law Sovereign have shown through their reckless actions that they do not care about us at all; they only see us as targets, as their prey; as materials to nourish themselves. Just the other day, one of them appeared and devoured the Shi Family; then they slaughtered their way to the present..."
"Moreover, according to the signs, the nine calamity sword master has already obtained the eighth fragment of the Nine Calamity Sword. This means he is about to ascend to the upper stage of the Nine Heavens and fulfill the nine calamity sword master's destined path..."
"Originally, the nine calamity sword master and the heavenly demons were sworn enemies, but the legend of the nine calamities still primarily targets us. Even if the heavenly demons are destroyed, the nine calamity sword master will not spare us. Even if the nine calamity sword master dies, the heavenly demons will still not let us go. The nine great families are in imminent danger."
For a moment, Night Chenchen felt somewhat exhausted, trapped between a tiger in front and a wolf behind, truly caught in a perilous situation; it would not be an exaggeration to say it's a matter of life and death.
In just a few days, the situation had taken a sharp turn. Almost without having time to react, the once-mighty families of the Nine Heavens were now at a disadvantage, and it was an absolute disadvantage, even facing a deadlock.
