Cang Xing's words had undoubtedly made up for all the loopholes in Xiao Chen's plan and had also maximized the benefits for Xiao Chen.
Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Cang Xing smiled, but he didn't have the slightest intention of taking credit.
In fact, there were some things that Cang Xing didn't say, but everyone present should be able to guess. Since He Ying had already escaped, it was obviously unrealistic to think that a single Sword Token could capture him. If it was really so simple, then He Ying wouldn't have been able to escape from Cang Xing, Nangong Guan, and the other three's encirclement.
Even though they knew that they couldn't capture He Ying, this Sword Token still had to be sent out. This was because although this Sword Token was used to inform He Ying, its true purpose wasn't He Ying, but rather the various major forces in Jian Province.
The Sword Sect had always been the overlord of Jian Province, but in recent years, with the rise of Blood Blade Valley, the Sword Sect's influence had declined, and the entire Jian Province had basically been divided into two. The Sword Sect and Blood Blade Valley each controlled half of Jian Province.
This originally made the Sword Sect very unhappy, but in recent years, some forces that had always been attached to the Sword Sect had begun to stir, which made the Sword Sect even more unbearable.
Therefore, this time, they could take advantage of He Ying's matter to take down a group of forces that had already become disloyal to the Sword Sect, and reorganize the families and Sects under them. In addition, they could also establish Xiao Chen's prestige.
Everyone understood the reason behind this, so there wasn't the slightest dispute and the matter was settled.
That night, everyone took action. First, the Elders of He Ying's faction in the Sword Sect didn't even have the time to react before they were directly captured by Yang Song, Zhao Yue, Qian Ling, and Li Sui and their people and imprisoned in the Sword Prison.
He did not harm their lives. He merely sealed their cultivation and imprisoned them.
Xiao Chen never thought of killing them. After all, these people were part of the Sword Sect. Killing them would be a huge loss to the Sword Sect.
Although he couldn't kill him, he couldn't leave him alone either. Therefore, he had to lock him up first and deal with He Ying later.
The elders were all locked up, and the deacons were all placed under house arrest. They were closely monitored 24 hours a day.
It was already late at night, but the Sword Sect was bustling with noise and excitement. However, everyone knew that it was the new Sect Leader who had made his move. Everyone could tell that the people who had been arrested this time were all from He Ying's faction.
No one dared to stop them because the ones who took the lead were Yang Song and the other three Sword Heads. Since the four Sword Heads had personally made their move, the people below them naturally couldn't resist.
The internal affairs of the Sword Sect were temporarily resolved by Xiao Chen in the most violent way. At the same time, in order to appease the people, Xiao Chen specially ordered Cang Xing to pass down an order. This time, the arrest was only targeted at He Ying's faction and no one else. Of course, the captured Elders weren't to be killed. As long as they were willing to turn over a new leaf, they could still be released.
As soon as the order came out, it did indeed calm the somewhat nervous hearts of many people, especially the many disciples. However, these young and aggressive disciples were still unconvinced by Xiao Chen. It was not important to block him, because sooner or later, Xiao Chen would convince them of his strength.
The internal reorganization of the Sword Sect was carried out with great fanfare. Early the next morning, a sword order was issued by the Sword Sect and quickly spread throughout the entire Jian Province.
In the region controlled by the Sword Sect, the arrest warrant for He Ying was issued in just one day. The major forces that received the sword order were all thinking about different things.
The Li Family was a major family under the Sword Sect. They weren't weak. However, at this moment, a group of Li Family's upper echelons were gathered in the Li Family's hall. The Li Family's Ancestor, who was sitting on the main seat, spoke with a serious expression.
"The new Sect Leader of the Sword Sect, Xiao Chen, actually forced He Ying to step down."
"Ancestor, do you know where Xiao Chen came from?" Hearing this, a Li Family expert asked.
Hearing this, the Li Family's Ancestor shook his head. He had never heard of Xiao Chen before. However, since he was able to force He Ying to flee, he couldn't be a simple person.
After a moment of silence, the Li Family's Ancestor said in a deep voice, "Notify everyone to track down He Ying's whereabouts. Once there's any news, report it immediately."
Although he didn't know who Xiao Chen was, Xiao Chen was now the Sect Leader of the Sword Sect. The Li Family's Ancestor decided to strictly carry out the order of the Sword Sect.
The Li Family's Ancestor was also a shrewd person. He knew that at this time, the new Sect Leader had just taken office. It was absolutely foolish to provoke Xiao Chen at this time.
Moreover, in such an unusual period, the Sword Sect's methods might change. However, the Li Family's Ancestor didn't know what kind of change it would be, because it all depended on the new Sect Leader's personality.
Perhaps he would become even weaker. In this way, it would be good news for the Li Family and the other Sects and Clans, but on the other hand, he might become even more unyielding. If this was the case, then if anyone dared to feign compliance or even openly refuse to carry out the order, they would undoubtedly be walking towards the muzzle of a spear.
The Li Family's Ancestor wasn't willing to take this risk, so he chose to strictly carry out the order.
It had to be said that the Li Family's Ancestor's decision was very correct. This was because the Sword Sect's Deacon who had come to pass down the order seemed to have left after passing down the order, but in reality, he hadn't.
At this moment, the Deacon was still in the city where the Li Family was located. He wanted to see the Li Family's reaction after receiving the order.
Of course, he wasn't the only one. All the experts of the Sword Sect who had gone to pass down the order did the same. They seemed to have left, but they had secretly stayed behind to monitor the actions of the large and small factions that were dependent on the Alliance.
This was also Xiao Chen's order. He wanted to see which of these factions had already become disloyal, and which of them were still loyal to the Sword Sect.
That day, the Li Family took action. According to the order, they carried out a strict investigation in the territory controlled by the Li Family.
Secretly observing all of this, the Sword Sect's Deacon smiled and said, "Old Li, you're finally smart for once. You didn't act foolishly."
This Deacon of the Sword Sect was actually a good friend of the Li Family's Ancestor. Previously, he had secretly warned the Li Family's Ancestor that the new Sect Leader's methods were very forceful, and it was best not to court death.
Now it seemed that the Li Family's Ancestor had listened to his advice. This way, the Li Family should be safe. Not only would they be fine, they might even be rewarded by the Sword Sect.
As a Deacon of the Sword Sect, this person naturally knew some insider information.
