Chapter 326 The Sages' Council at Mount Buzhou in the Western Regions!

Western Regions.

Although both are within the federal area.

However, the Western Regions were clearly quite different from the prosperity of the Jiangnan Province.

The sky here seems very low.

It felt as if you could reach out and touch the clouds.

This is why the sunlight can pour down without any obstruction.

The sunlight shone on the surrounding desert and Gobi, creating waves of heat that made the distant mountains appear distorted and deformed.

Even in this technologically advanced era, the Western Regions remain much like those of ancient times.

The atmosphere is strong with a wild and untamed feel.

That is indeed the case.

Western Regions.

It still retains its ancient style and appearance.

Once you step into this place, it truly feels like you've traveled through time.

The people here.

The local people are known for their fierce and unruly nature.

The warriors here.

They also revere power and pursue excellence.

This also made martial arts in the Western Regions more prosperous.

For example, even within a province, a Martial King-level expert who commands a region is practically everywhere in the Western Regions.

Even for Emperor-level or Venerable-level experts.

There are quite a few.

Western Regions.

That is the true holy land of martial arts.

It is the only place in the entire Federation that has not been ravaged by technology.

And in the far west of the Western Regions.

It is the boundless Taklamakan Desert, with yellow sand stretching for hundreds of miles around, where not a blade of grass grows.

Only one completely black mountain peak stands.

This is...

Buzhou Mountain.

at this time.

On Mount Buzhou, the fierce winds are like knives, and even the hardest rocks on the mountain are etched with the marks of time.

Some of the rock walls are hollowed out, like a honeycomb.

A fierce wind blew, accompanied by the wailing of ghosts and howls of wolves.

More often than not, it is a layered accumulation, incredibly resilient.

And in places beyond human reach on Buzhou Mountain, there were magnificent palaces built.

The palace was built against the mountain, layer upon layer, blending into the mountainside.

The main hall at the highest point is entirely black.

It is unknown what material it was made of.

Under the sunlight, it gleamed with a cold, eerie luster.

In the square in front of the main hall, there stand rows of huge stone pillars.

The stone pillars are covered with ancient runes, emanating a faint aura of power, which makes the entire palace complex appear silent and solemn.

It seems to have been here since time immemorial, overlooking this vast land beneath its feet.

Inside the palace.

Silence.

Only gusts of strong wind poured in from the palace gates, causing dust and sand to accumulate inside.

Suddenly, footsteps sounded.

A middle-aged man strode in.

He had a rugged face, walked with the stride of a dragon and the gait of a tiger, dressed in ancient attire, with his long hair tied up in a crown and a black cloak, his brows exuding the majesty of someone who had long held a high position.

However, as soon as the middle-aged man entered the hall, he opened his mouth and shouted,

"Old Luo, Old Luo, Luo Gucheng, where are you?"

"A major incident has occurred on the human side!"

"Did you hear that?"

The sound echoed in the empty hall.

No one responded.

The middle-aged man frowned, somewhat annoyed, and turned to leave.

Just then.

A voice came from behind.

"Why."

"Xiang Meng, you're practically a saint now, how come you still can't change this temper?"

Xiang Meng turned around.

Then a middle-aged man in white robes walked out from behind the hall.

The man was dressed in white, his long hair casually tied up with a wooden hairpin.

With his handsome face and ethereal demeanor, he seemed like a celestial being who had stepped out of a painting.

It was none other than the White-Clad Martial Saint: Luo Gucheng.

Xiang Meng strode forward,

"Old Luo, you're quite composed."

"I just came out of seclusion and heard that something big happened on the human side."

Luo Gucheng remained calm.

"What happened?"

"What could it be?"

"It's all because of those demons. We can let it go if they want to rebuild the Demon Court."

Xiang Meng's eyes were filled with anger.

"Those guys have become increasingly outrageous and demanding in the last hundred years."

"I've received information that they actually intend to destroy the entire southwestern region of the human race."

"You guys don't know yet, do you?"

Luo Gucheng fell silent instantly.

There was no response.

Upon seeing his expression, Xiang Meng's face immediately changed.

"What do you mean?"

"What kind of expression is that?"

"Old Luo, you guys didn't already know, did you?"

"Then why didn't you step in and stop it?"

"Are we just going to watch hundreds of millions of people die?"

In the end, Xiang Meng almost roared out of anger, his voice sharp and forceful.

The isolated city of Kolo remained silent.

Xiang Meng's anger intensified. He took a sudden step forward and stared intently at Luo Gucheng opposite him.

"Luo Gucheng, what exactly do you mean by this?"

"Don't forget what those guys told us when they left?"

"Is this how you see the human race?"

"Let the human race be slaughtered by the demon race?"

"I originally thought that since you could chase Xiao Jinhan for millions of miles, you at least had some guts."

"How come you've become just like those old guys?"

"Luo Gucheng, don't stay silent, answer me!"

Luo Gucheng finally sighed, his voice filled with helplessness.

"Why."

"You don't know, this involves a lot more than you think."

Xiang Meng stared intently at him, panting heavily.

"Then tell me."

Luo Gucheng fell silent again.

After a moment, he finally spoke slowly.

"We have already arranged for the federal government to make the necessary arrangements."

"Have the federal government cooperate as much as possible with the relocation of the two major provinces in the southwest region."

"The demon race, for reasons unknown, is determined to take over the southwest region."

"You were in seclusion a while ago, so you didn't know that six great demon saints from the demon race descended upon Buzhou Mountain at the same time."

"They fought with us."

Upon hearing this, Xiang Meng was completely stunned.

"What?"

"The demon race has actually attacked Buzhou Mountain?"

"They're incredibly audacious and arrogant!!!"

"When did this happen?"

"Just a while ago."

Luo Gucheng took a deep breath, his expression bitter.

"Their target is the southwest region."

"They warned us not to interfere."

"Since the demon race wants it, then give it to them."

"We just need to minimize casualties as much as possible."

"The demon race now... sigh..."

Hearing the music and understanding its meaning, Xiang Mengmeng's eyes widened suddenly.

"You lost?"

Luo Gucheng did not answer, but simply shook his head slightly.

I know it's hard for you to accept.

"I also found it hard to accept at the time."

"But that's the situation now."

"The ancient sages of humanity gradually left for that place, leaving behind only the old, weak, sick, and disabled."

"Only you and I are a little younger and can fight a bit."

"But the demon race's elite forces are all here."

"We must prioritize the overall situation now."

Xiang Meng was stunned again, somewhat incredulous.

"Prioritizing the overall situation?"

"What is the big picture?"

"Does the so-called 'greater good' mean sacrificing the lives of hundreds of millions of humans?"

Luo Gucheng looked at him,

"Otherwise what?"

"You want us to wage war against the demon race?"

"Will it cause widespread devastation, rivers of blood, and even more deaths?"

"not to mention……"

He paused.

Xiang Mengmeng pressed on with his questions.

"What's wrong?"

"What else are you hiding from me?"

Luo Gucheng closed his eyes and murmured to himself.

"I have a very strong feeling that I'm about to leave too."

"boom--"

For an instant.

Xiang Meng was struck dumb, frozen in place.

What?

Is Luo Gucheng leaving too?

Luo Gucheng and he are the youngest and most powerful among the remaining saints of the human race.

But now, Luo Gucheng is also leaving.

Then all that's left for the human race are themselves and those old fogies who are stuck in the past.

All he knows is how to fight.

They have no brains.

How will the human race face the demon race next?

What should the human race do next?

"Perhaps when you reach my level, you will have some understanding."
