654 Qingzhou Exposed!
Zhang Youji took the letter and carefully unfolded it, absorbing each word as if it held a potent secret.
At that moment, Qin Huai’s blood music note responded. He removed it and they both exchanged puzzled glances as the contents of Zhang Youji’s letter mirrored that of the blood note. It read: “Attack the Qingzhou Alliance at Qingzhou.”
“This isn’t good,” Zhang Youji’s expression tightened. Before they could discuss further, the air around them thickened with several powerful auras.
Approaching were distinct auras, which revealed themselves as Fang Huo and the others. Seeing Zhang Youji, they formed a protective circle around him.
Qin Huai reassured them, “He’s one of us.”
A collective sigh of relief was heard, but the atmosphere remained charged. They were on borrowed time. “What’s our next step, Alliance Master?” they asked.
Qin Huai, ever the decisive leader, responded without hesitation, “Back to Qingzhou.” He recognized the risk of both the Sacred Heart Sect and the six royal clans attacking Qingzhou and discover its secrets.
Understanding the gravity of the situation, Zhang Youji chimed in, “I’ll go and negotiate with the leaders of the three sects.”
As the strategy was laid out, the assembly dispersed swiftly, each with their tasks clear.

At the Tianshan Ying clan, a daunting three-headed man rejoiced.
“At last, we have them cornered!” His booming voice echoed as he commanded, “King Sanjian will lead. From each clan, a peak visceral prefecture realm expert will command three throusand soldiers to march on Qingzhou!”
“Understood,” the assembly of powerful beings acknowledged.
Meanwhile, at the white tiger clan, news came of stolen spirit stones. A debate ensued.
“If not the three sects or the Sacred Heart Sect, then who?” After a pause, realization struck. “It must be the Qingzhou Alliance.”
The clan leader made the decision, “Send a king to Qingzhou.” He then added, “Contact the other five clans. All our kings will march together!”
Almost simultaneously, the leaders of the six royal clans gave the identical order. This ancient power, which had been a dominant force for millennia, was now mobilizing with impressive speed.
Comprising three kings, scores of elite warriors, and a massive army, they moved towards Qingzhou with an overwhelming presence. Their advance was like a fierce blade slicing the horizon, evoking both dread and awe among all who witnessed it.
…
At that moment, startling news swept across Great You, overshadowing even the quick mobilization of the six royal clans.
An elderly man, bearing a striking resemblance to a past emperor, carried the weight of the entire capital on his journey towards Qingzhou.
