Chapter 125

Huang Jingxuan's expression appeared calm, but deep inside she harbored a flicker of satisfaction from revenge.

However, she knew all this was due to Lu Chen's efforts.

"Master, what should we do next?"

She sent a voice transmission to Lu Chen.

"Just intimidate them a little; the meeting must proceed, and you must seize control of the Tianzhou's discourse in your hands."

"But before the meeting, we can first kill a chicken to scare the monkeys."

Lu Chen looked at Mo Tiancheng, his eyes carrying a hint of ruthlessness.

At this moment, Mo Tiancheng sensed a breath of death.

"Yes, Master."

Huang Jingxuan understood Lu Chen's meaning; after this period of communication with Mu Hanyu, she also learned that Xingya had been infiltrated.

In just an instant, before anyone could react, Mo Tiancheng felt his body suddenly become hollow.

Looking down, he saw that only half of his skull remained, suspended in midair.

He wanted to speak, but discovered his mouth had already vanished.

"Settled, Master."

Huang Jingxuan instantly crushed Mo Tiancheng's physical body and took his storage bag into her hands.

"Open the storage bag and tell them about the infiltration of Xingya."

Luo Tian, including the Sword Cloud Elder Ancestor and a few others, were still immersed in the shock of what had just suddenly occurred.

"How terrifying the power of rules is; without my noticing in the slightest, it killed Mo Tiancheng and gave him no chance to escape."

"I originally thought Huang Jingxuan might be unstable due to her recent breakthrough, but now it seems..."

The Sword Cloud Elder Ancestor had a drop of cold sweat trickle down his face.

He recalled how he had previously tried to devise a plan to annex the Zi Yu Palace.

The harsher the original method, the deeper his regret now.

Just as the shock of the few people began to fade, they suddenly saw Mo Tiancheng's storage bag being opened.

"What is this?"

In the next moment, everyone saw what was stored inside.

Murderous qi bottles, demonic techniques, soul banners, demonic pills, demonic artifacts......

"These are all demonic cultivator items; could the Mo Sect Master be a demonic cultivator?"

Everyone suddenly recalled the matter of the former Mo Xuan, Sect Master of Xingya.

"Could it be that Mo Xuan was truly wronged?"

Hearing the crowd's speculation, Lu Chen gave a faint smile.

He had said he would help Mo Xuan clear his injustice, and now he could consider it largely successful.

"Jingxuan, that's enough; let them prepare for the meeting."

"Yes, Master."

Huang Jingxuan put away the storage bag and then led Lu Chen unimpeded into the Tianyan Sect.

Luo Tian, seeing this, also hurriedly looked toward the Elder Ancestor seeking a decision.

"Alas, since she has already reached the mid-stage of Dao Comprehension, for now only she can decide."

"With the great war imminent, she surely will not hold past grievances against our Tianyan Sect."

"Understood, Elder Ancestor."

Upon hearing this, Luo Tian immediately bowed to the other two major sect masters and Elder Ancestors, then entered the sect together with them.

Soon, on the main hall of the Tianyan Sect, the four major sects had already gathered.

Huang Jingxuan sat in the main seat, her gaze always on Lu Chen.

"Sect Master Huang, regarding this demon-extermination conference, do you have any lofty opinions?"

Luo Tian sat in a side seat, and under the indication of the Sword Cloud Elder Ancestor, he spoke up to ask.

"Previously, I had already used the sect's deduction technique; for this demon-extermination war, the demonic cultivators will certainly take Tianzhou as their concentrated attack point."

"At that time, including Menzhou, the five major Dao Comprehension demonic cultivators will all appear."

"Relying solely on Tianzhou, we cannot match them, so I have already contacted two Dao Comprehension cultivators from Xuan Zhou on the way; they will arrive in Tianzhou within two days."

Because Lu Chen used a jade technique on Huang Jingxuan, her thoughts were unaffected, and all her decisions were also those she had observed over the years and deemed most correct.

Upon hearing her words, aside from the Sword Cloud Elder Ancestor, including Luo Tian and a few others, they involuntarily nodded in agreement.

"My Lingyun Sect has no opinion; this demon-extermination war will entirely follow Sect Master Huang's command."

This time, it was again the Lingyun Sect master who proactively spoke to express agreement with Sect Master Huang's suggestion.

Immediately after, the Lingxiao Sect also followed closely.

"My Lingxiao Sect also has no opinion! Everything follows Sect Master Huang's command!"

Luo Tian originally wanted to agree as well, but he glanced at the Elder Ancestor beside him.

The Sword Cloud Elder Ancestor had a complex expression; he was worried that with Huang Jingxuan's current strength, if she gained great power, she might not want to relinquish it, just as he had not.

"Sword Cloud? What is your opinion?" Huang Jingxuan's tone carried an unquestionable air.

This statement carried Lu Chen's indication.

The Sword Cloud Elder Ancestor slightly furrowed his brows, his expression showing some displeasure.

But after thinking for a moment, he still agreed.

"If so, the five major sects of Tianzhou shall temporarily be under my unified command."

"As for Xingya, I will select a new sect master."

After Huang Jingxuan finished speaking, someone from Lingyun Sect spoke up first.

"All will obey the arrangements of Sect Master Huang!"

"All will obey the arrangements of Sect Master Huang!"

As the meeting proceeded, Lu Chen conveyed his ideas through Huang Jingxuan's mouth to the other three major sects.

Besides the Tiānyán Sect, the other two major sects nodded throughout, raising no objections.

After all, they had already known their role in this matter before arriving.

And the Sword Cloud Elder of the Tiānyán Sect, though initially questioning a couple of sentences at the start, was ultimately refuted by Huang Jingxuan.

"After deduction, the demonic path will launch large-scale attacks on the Tianzhou border within a month. During this time, all senior members of the Five Great Sects must end their secluded cultivation and similar activities, and proceed to the border as soon as possible..."

Upon finishing the last sentence, Huang Jingxuan and Lu Chen immediately rose and left the hall.

Seeing them depart, the sect masters and elders of the three major sects still could not regain their composure.

"How exactly was this achieved? Is mid-stage Dao Enlightenment really this easy to break through?"

The Lingyun Sect Sect Master's eyes were filled with doubt.

He felt that his cultivation over these years had been nothing but an illusion.

"The man beside Sect Master Huang remained silent from beginning to end, yet she seemed to have been constantly observing his expression."

"It appears that when Mo Tiancheng saw that man earlier, his expression was also somewhat surprised."

"Could it be that he is also related to Mo Tiancheng?"

The crowd's doubts could not be resolved in a short time.

They were curious, but dared not investigate.

After all, Huang Jingxuan's strength stands as it is.

Upon reaching the Dao Enlightenment Realm, each minor realm is separated by a vast chasm; even if all members of the three major sects were bound together, they might still not match a single strike from her.

The Sword Cloud Elder gazed in the direction the two had departed, his fist in his sleeve clenching and relaxing several times.

Beside him, Luo Tian clasped his hands in salute and hastily asked for instructions:

"Elder, what should we do next?"

Finally, all of the Sword Cloud Elder's emotions condensed into a long sigh:

"Issue the orders—everything shall proceed exactly as Sect Master Huang said."
