Three days later...
All the sect's representatives were already strolling inside the wind sect with Men Hui and two other male disciples greeting them as they entered the premises.
This alliance gathering obviously means a lot to the cultivating sect and the people in the country since it meant that they would actually be able to see people from the flame sect for the first time in sixteen years after the battle.
The sect leaders were mostly concerned with finding out how strong and capable the flame sect is now since they haven't been able to hear any news about them.
In the whole of the Tang Dynasty, the Wind sect is now regarded as the most powerful and influential sect so they all wanted to know if former leading sect still capable of taking back that title.
Everyone seemed expecting surprises and the chance to boast about their success when they see representatives of the flame sect in a pitiful state, except for the wind sect leader, he didn't even inform them about the alliance meeting so how can they attend the meeting especially since they have shut themselves from the outer world, while the other sects were bringing their most capable disciples and leaders to the meeting, the sect leader Lin just watched them knowing that they would be disappointed.
After a long while of exchanging greetings and bootlicking with a hypocritical smile on their faces even though they were only thinking of ways to surpass each other, the alliances meeting started.
"Alliance Leader!!" They greeted in unison with their hands cupped and raised above their chest, he raised his hand as a signal for them to take their set before seating on the large and well-carved set in front of the hall while Lin Bohai stood beside him.
After the last meeting, he tried to persuade his father to let go of the flame sect with every single excuse he could think of but his excuses didn't succeed in changing his father's mind about calling another alliance meeting to interrogate the flame sect but the only thing that changed is that he found out about his fathers plan to not inform the flame sect of the meeting which would lead to them being convicted and another reason to evict them from the cultivating sect would have been created, he even helped to make arrangement since he has no other option but he was worried about what would happen to Huo Lan the moment the flame sect is found to be guilty,if the matter gets to the emperor she might be executed according to his first verdict.
" I called for the first meeting to discuss the problems that each of the sects are having and to issue some changes but another case was opened regarding the infiltration of the vitality sect and the death of a governmental official," sect leader Lin explained then he looked around to register their expressions and listen to whatever they are whispering to each other, after seeing their satisfied expressions, he decides to continue.
"I have called this meeting to find out who is responsible for these crimes and I have invited every sect including the small sects and those that have been living in seclusion in order to make sure that the judging of this matter is fair and just"
They started whispering to each other as they normally would while he just scanned around see who is showing discontent in regards to what he had just said.
"Alliance leader, we respect your decisions and we know that whatever you do is for the safety and prosperity of all the sects and that is why we have obeyed your command to gather ourselves for the second alliance meeting but unfortunately, there are some people who have refused to obey your command" sect leader Wu said, after his statement, everyone looked around to see which sect he is referring to, it didn't take long before they discovered who he was referring to.
Murmurs, voices of discontent and annoyance began to fill the hall as they all had something to say about the absence of the sects which are regarded as demonic sects but they have been accepted into the circle of the righteous sects.
"Everyone calms down!" Sect leader Lin persuaded with a hint of authority in his voice. They all quit their discussion as soon as they heard him speak.
"I know you are all discontented by the indifference of the azure demon sect towards the sect alliance and the authority of the alliance leader, I am also greatly disheartened by the behaviours of sect leader Mo but we still have to give him a chance, although some of the cultivation techniques are derived from demonic cultivation techniques, they haven't committed any evil so we should give sect leader Mo a chance since he is young and inexperienced," sect leader Lin said to persuade the sect while he celebrated their reactions to both sects absence, the azure demon sect not arriving on time wasn't part of his plan but he was still happy that the other sects weren't happy with both sects, he intentionally left out the flame sect in his persuasion to increase their aggression towards the flame sect.
Sly old man, you are really tactful when it comes to using your words against your enemies….
Sect leader Zhou mumbled under his breath as he waves his hand fan back and forth.
"Alliance leader, you have been too lenient with these demonic sects, the flame sect ignored your command to gather for a sect meeting the first time and this time again, they haven't shown up," sect leader Meng complained.
" according to what I said in the last sect meeting, I have already sent many disciples to inform the flame sect of the second alliance meeting and my disciples came back with the news that they had already delivered the message, I also announced that their absence would mean that they are admitting the crime, if they don't send someone to represent them to today then we can only conclude that they are ready to take responsibility for the crimes they committed unless they are here to defend themselves today, they will be declared the perpetrators of the crimes and the emperor will be informed of this," he assures them with a firm and authoritative voice as his eyes scanned around the hall.
Seeing how smooth the meeting was going according to his plans, he was actually quite relieved that Mo Yuhan is not present at the meeting, he has always had an inkling that Mo Yuhan presence in the alliance meeting might lead to a failure in his plans for the meeting.
"I don't think there would be any need for that…." A powerful and feminine voice said as footstep approached the hall from outside, they all turned to the direction where they had heard the seemingly familiar voice that they hadn't heard in a long time.
Their eyes widened at the sight of the sect madam of the flame sect, Huo Jing yu, the most powerful female cultivator during their generation.
"Huo Jingyu!!!"
They all start chorusing her name as they watched her walk towards the hall, they were all flabbergasted at her presence and they were as fascinated as they had always been even during their youth, those of them who admired her when they were still young were all astonished by her beauty even though she was stroll far from them, they opened their mouths wide agape , this is of course not excluding sect leader Zhou, the smile on his face could be easily interpreted as he fanned himself slowly.
"Huo Jingyu!" Sect leader Lin pronounced, he had never expected to see her here since he didn't inform the flame sect of his arrangement, he turned to his side and cast a doubtful look at Lin Bohai who was also shocked but his facial expression showed relief which made his father's suspicion towards him grow.
The three elders of the flame sect were also following behind her but their attentions were all focused on her, in her stunning dress, she proved herself to be the queen of the alliance as soon as she arrived, her stunning red apparel which swept the floor behind her with every step she took and the black oversized coat with fur coating the lapel made her even more majestic, she stopped when she got to the front of the alliance leader's seat.
Her lips curved into a sweet smile with sinister intentions underneath, she cupped her hands together then she bowed her head slightly with the elders following after her steps in unison, after raising her head, she gently folded her hands on her navel and smiled gently.
"Sect Leader Lin....No....Alliance leader, I hope you have been well?" she greeted with a calm voice that has conquered and defeated the heart of many men during her days, many of which are seating in the hall, even he almost couldn't resist the temptation of her voice but his determination to bring down the flame sect held him in place.
"Since there is no evil going on in the Jianghu world after the ever night, I have been in good health but it seems like that wouldn't last for long" Sect Leader Lin answered tactfully with his hand clenched, Lin Bohai gaze drifted to his father's hand, he could see that he was trying very hard to keep his clam, after all, his plan to easily accuse the flame sect of another wrongdoing has been foiled by their presence.
She laughed gently with her hands coquettishly covering her mouth, while the elders were wondering why she was being too friendly but they decided to go with the act.
"Sect Leader Lin, you are really good at making jokes, although we haven't seen much of the world after the battle, we are very well aware that the blood moon sect has not been wreaking havoc in the world, so there is no way your health will be affected by trivial matters" the tone she spoke in immediately made all the men let their guard down towards her, but the women were very alert in fact, they were paying attention to all her movement.
No woman would ever forget Huo Jingyu!!
"Is that so? I hope you would be able to say the same thing after this meeting" Sect Leader Lin remarked with a serious expression on his face, the smile on her face immediately disappeared and her mouth tilted to form a sinister smirk.
"Junior martial sister, although we haven't gotten the chance to see you over the years, who would have thought that you are actually more beautiful than you were the last time we all saw you" Sect leader Zhou complimented with a mischievous smile hanging on his lips, she slowly turned back to see who had just spoken, her thick red lips formed a smile as she fixed her eyes on Sect leader Zhou who has just complimented her.
"Sect leader Zhou, seems like you have kept me on your mind all these years, I am surprised that you still remember how I looked even though we haven't seen each other for years" she drawled while maintaining her ever perfect smile on her red lips.
"You must be joking, Junior sister, who can actually forget you, in terms of skills, you were the best female cultivator during our time and most men found it hard to beat you although I am not sure if you are still as good as you were and it terms of beauty, your beauty exceeded the beauty of many women, thinking of those times, you were really a female champion" Sect leader Zhou stated to the agreement of many and the discontentment of many others including Sect Leader Lin who glared at him with anger blazing in his eyes, as soon as they saw her enter, it was almost as if they and forgotten her relationship with the flame sect and they have all lost their purpose, he knew that if he doesn't do something about it fast, they will all be bewitched by her.
"Sect leader Zhou, I am really glad that there is someone who still remembers me, you are indeed my senior martial brother, I…."
"hmmmm hmmm! Junior sister, you may take your seat" Sect leader Lin interjected with a deep frown on his face, judging by his tone, she could tell that he is extremely dissatisfied by sect leader Zhou's friendliness towards her…
she had already achieved her goal!
She looked around hoping to find an empty seat apart from the one close to the end of the hall, judging from how the seat at the end of the hall is positioned, she could tell that it was meant for Mo Yuhan.
"Sect leader Lin, it seems like you weren't expecting us to come today…" She drawled with a taunting look on her face.
He was taken aback by her sudden remark, although he didn't know how she got to know that the alliance meeting was taking place, he hadn't expected her to be aware of his plans, he balled his fist under the table anxiously while he tried his best to maintain a clam demeanour in front of them.
"Junior sister, I wonder what you meant by that?" he questioned
"Nothing, it is just that there is only one seat at the end of the hall and there are two sects' leaders who are yet to be seated, what else am I supposed to think?" she queried with a straight look on her face which bothered him, from his experience with her over the years, he could tell that she had a motive for attending the meeting and it can't be a simple one….
"My disciples must have made a mistake..." he gave Bohai a side glance with an obvious interpretation, while Bohai glanced at one of the disciples who immediately rushed out of the hall with two other disciples, in no time, they returned with chairs for her and the elders and placed them at the front.
She slowly took her seat on the chair and spread her apparel on the ground with her hands placed on her navel.
"Junior sister, all the sects leaders are here with their children or their disciples but you have only brought your sect elders with you, could it be that there is something you are hiding?" Sect Leader Meng hinted with her intention obviously clear, she had just asked the question that everyone in the hall wished to ask.

Junior sister, you may take your seat" Sect leader Lin interjected with a deep frown on his face, judging by his tone, she could tell that he is extremely dissatisfied by sect leader Zhou's friendliness towards her she had already achieved her goal! She looked around hoping to find an empty seat apart from the one close to the end of the hall, judging from how the seat at the end of the hall is positioned, she could tell that it was meant for Mo Yuhan. "Sect leader Lin, it seems like you weren't expecting us to come today" She drawled with a taunting look on her face. He was taken aback by her sudden remark, although he didn't know how she got to know that the alliance meeting was taking place, he hadn't expected her to be aware of his plans, he balled his fist under the table anxiously while he tried his best to maintain a clam demeanour in front of them. "Junior sister, I wonder what you meant by that?" he questioned "Nothing, it is just that there is only one seat at the end of the hall and there are two sects' leaders who are yet to be seated, what else am I supposed to think?" she queried with a straight look on her face which bothered him, from his experience with her over the years, he could tell that she had a motive for attending the meeting and it can't be a simple one. "My disciples must have made a mistake..." he gave Bohai a side glance with an obvious interpretation, while Bohai glanced at one of the disciples who immediately rushed out of the hall with two other disciples, in no time, they returned with chairs for her and the elders and placed them at the front. She slowly took her seat on the chair and spread her apparel on the ground with her hands placed on her navel. "Junior sister, all the sects leaders are here with their children or their disciples but you have only brought your sect elders with you, could it be that there is something you are hiding?" Sect Leader Meng hinted with her intention obviously clear, she had just asked the question that everyone in the hall wished to ask.
