The people in the room were all silent. Pretty much everyone was looking at Wujue with a weird expression. Some of them were filled with pity while others were gloating.
The two Soul Lamps that were extinguished were both Spirit Realm Experts.
The two of them were the pillars of Pushan Temple. Now that they were dead, Pushan Temple was probably in trouble too!
In the next moment, they all shifted their gazes away. Without the support of the sect, Wujue's power in the Vast Habitat would totally collapse.
Other than the fact that his cultivation was not bad, he was nothing else. He was not worthy of their attention!
Wujue panted like a wild beast, his eyes were red. In the next moment, he stared viciously at Wu Xu.
"The death of my Pushan Temple is all because of you, Wu Xu! You knew that Zong Shou was invincible in the Sword Path and that no one in our Taoist Faction could block his sharpness, but you didn't defend against him. That person wiped out 24 sects in 16 hours, dozens of Spirit Realm Experts in the Vast Habitat and did nothing. You, Wu Xu, still have the face to take up the position of Palace Head? "
Everyone in the room was startled and looked over with a lost expression.
The person in their memories shouldn't have such a personality …
Wu Xu frowned and continued to sit high up, his expression didn't change at all.
"I said that after this battle, I would ask for forgiveness from the Elders of the Vast Habitat …"
"Please forgive your granny's sins!"
Before he finished, he was interrupted. Wujue's body suddenly exploded out.
"This little punishment won't hurt you at all. Can it pay for the lives of those 60 thousand disciples? Can it cause the 24 sects to be rebuilt? I, Wujue, will help the sects wipe out today to seek justice! "
Brown talismans wrapped around his body and a seal formed in his palm. With a flash, he was in front of Wu Xu.
A palm pressed down like a giant mountain falling!
Wu Xu didn't even blink, casually flicking out with a finger.
The space between the two of them first swelled and then shrank.
In the end, it exploded out and Wujue's body flew hundreds of feet away.
Beside Wu Xu sat an old Daoist. At this moment, he opened his eyes and his eyes were filled with helplessness. He reached out and grabbed. Amidst the explosion of energy, a huge hand reached out and pinched Wujue's body, immobilizing him.
Wu Xu didn't pay any attention to him and flicked his sleeve. He suppressed the remnant energy of the astral winds, not allowing them to be suppressed. Then, he expressionlessly looked at the person who was paralyzed on the ground.
"Take him away!"
Immediately, a few disciples on duty walked in and carried Wujue away. However, Wujue was still cursing endlessly.
"Wu Xu you bastard, you aren't fit to be the head of our vast habitat! Why don't you just die? Your teacher misjudged you … "
However, everyone in the room looked at Wu Jue with admiration.
The assassination seemed reckless, but it could be explained later as a result of anger.
With the Sect being wiped out, if the Vast Habitat couldn't punish Wu Xu, then they could only let him off lightly.
Although the twenty-four sects had been destroyed, there were still quite a few surviving disciples and quite a few Spirit Realm and Immortal Realm seniors.
Wu Xu's palm strike could be said to have met his heart's desire. He still had a place in Daoling Vast Habitat.
Wujue's furious roar became further and further away. The room regained silence once more. A long while later, a voice rang out.
"The only thing we can do now is to ask the Shrines and Spiritual Houses to help …"
The Taoist who spoke just said that. He felt many blade-like gazes staring at him.
"We can't! Our Vast Habitat is ten times stronger than Gantian Mountain. If we still ask for help from those few Shrines and Spiritual Houses, wouldn't we be mocked? "
"That Tailing Sect and Daoling Sect have always been on the opposite side. If they want to take the chance to take over the Vast Habitat, then what should we do? "
"Why don't we have a truce with the Monster King?"
"If we talk about it now, where will the face of our Vast Habitat go? In the future, how will the Vast Habitat command the Taoist Faction? We will become sinners of the Taoist Faction! "
"Then, how should we defend against it?"
There was a lot of discussion. After that, everyone seemed to be deep in thought. Especially those who were in a similar situation as Wujue, whose sects were in the east of the Central Continent. They all felt a little worried.
"The only way is to follow what the Palace Head said. The sects will work together to defend one area … "
"Although it will be problematic after the matter, it is better than the sect being wiped out."
As their gazes intersected, everyone didn't speak. No one had any intentions to object.
With this plan decided, then next would be how to split the spoils.
The green-shirted Taoist at the door suddenly opened his mouth, "This is a defensive method and isn't perfect. Does the Palace Head have a plan to kill this Zong Shou?"
Wu Xu's brows rose up once more. Then, he calmly shook his head.
"Three months later, we will know. To be perfect and kill this person early, we have to have the Heaven Shifting Earth Moving Formation … "
The expressions of the many Taoists in the room changed once more.
No matter what kind of Heaven and Earth Shifting spell or treasure, it would take a lot of time. It was also tough to lock onto the exact location.
Only this formation was different. The two formations matched and as long as there were enough mind stones, one could teleport a few people or even dozens of people.
This Heaven Shifting Earth Moving Formation was the smallest out of all the teleportation formations. It only needed a Grade-7 Spirit Master to activate it. It also didn't consume much mind stones.
However, this wasn't what made things tough for them …

Pretty much at the same time, Imperial City, Fenghua Palace Political Affairs Hall.
At this moment, Yin Yu's eyes were filled with a weird expression as he looked at the document in his hand.
At noon, he traveled 2200 miles south and wiped out Dharma Mountain Sect. Three thousand disciples, none of them survived. Two Spirit Realm Experts fell …
At 5pm, he arrived at Xiuling Mountain and wiped out Shuiming Sect. His sword broke this mountain. In just a few moments, the Ten Thousand Water Essence Formation was forcefully broken …
At 5pm, he wiped out Taoshan Temple. At 5pm, he traveled 3,000 miles east and wiped out Huiyun Sect …
He had seen many pieces of news in the day but none of them were so detailed.
Each piece of news had a detailed death count and rough time. One could even deduce the rough process of each battle.
The more he read, the more shocking it was.
"This kid is actually so skilled? The ancient overlord was just so-so … "
Tossing the document in his hand down, Yin Yu's eyes were filled with an indiscernible intent.
Although he could only think about it, he knew about Zong Shou's top Sword Path …
"Speaking of which, there are already 23 sects?"
"24 sects! A few moments ago, around 5pm, Pushan Temple was wiped out! "
Gaoruo bowed slightly, his tone was calm, "This is a calamity for the Taoist Faction!"
"Taoist Faction calamity? It's only 60,000 disciples that have perished. How can it be considered a tribulation? "
Yin Yu laughed, his tone was filled with coldness. He then asked curiously, "Not mentioning the other sects, Xiuyun Sect and the other sects all have Celestial Realm Experts in the outer region. Within Daoling Vast Habitat, there are many Celestial Realm and God Realm Experts, so why didn't they interfere? The Taoist Faction has dozens of Saint Realm Experts, how can Ao Kun deal with them alone? Why does this Zong Shou have nothing to worry about? "
Gaoruo smiled bitterly, not knowing how to reply.
Luckily, Yinyu comprehended something right away.
"That's right! Since he dares to do that, then he definitely has a plan! Even if he doesn't, Cang Shengdao and Sky Demon Vast Habitat will help him … "
Not bothering about this matter, Yin Yu asked, "That Wu Xu's Palace Head position won't be stable anymore. Did he ask Tailing Sect and the other sects for help? "
"No!"
Gaoruo shook his head, "However, Daoling Vast Habitat has a plan. Like they want to gather the strength of the various sects to defend against them. The dozens of sects in the east have started to set up the Heaven Shifting Earth Moving Formation. "
Yin Yu smiled, he also expected that Daoling Vast Habitat wouldn't ask Tailing Sect for help.
That Taoist Faction sect was even more afraid of Tailing Sect.
"First they can't win and then wait for the enemy to win? This Wu Xu really knows the art of war! "
Gaoruo was filled with disdain, "If he knew the art of war, he would have done that long ago!"
"This isn't Wu Xu's fault. If he wasn't forced into such a corner, why would the Taoist Faction sects agree?"
As Yin Yu said this, his lips curled up with deep meaning, "Moreover, once this Heaven Shifting Earth Moving Formation is set up, it will be tough to remove it in the future. Sooner or later, the eastern sects will all fall into the control of Daoling Vast Habitat. This was something that all the past Vast Habitat Palace Heads wanted but were unable to do. Not only did the sects resist, but Tailing Daoling also interfered and failed every time. If this matter could succeed in his hands, just based on this merit, his Vast Habitat Palace Head position would be as stable as Mount Tai! “
Gaoruo was startled. Thinking about it carefully, that was actually the case. He couldn't help but take in a deep cold breath.
"Speaking of which, this Wu Xu did it on purpose …"
If he really did it on purpose, then Wu Xu's intelligence was really terrifying …
"That might not be the case! Before this battle, who would have thought that Zong Shou would have such an invincible sword path? Would he have such lightning quick methods? Using the situation to turn it into an advantage, he can be considered a wise person. "
Then, Yin Yu smiled without bothering, "Anyways, Zong Shou is most probably going to lose this battle! It is okay if he retreats, but if he doesn't, then he will die! My Taishang doesn't need to interfere in this matter, just let people watch … "
Hesitating slightly, he said seriously, "Try to let that thief return to Gantian alive."
The word 'thief' was filled with anger and hatred.
Gaoruo understood and bowed once more.
Be it Taoist Faction or Gantian, they were both enemies of Taishang.
Taoist Faction winning wasn't a good thing for Taishang.
It would be best if both sides suffered heavy losses in this battle.
※ ※ ※
The long sword was like blood. Zong Shou stood quietly in mid-air.
Sword Qi condensed beneath his feet and carved out sword marks that were a few feet deep on the ground.
Looking from above, it was actually two rows of numbers.
"Twenty-five, fifty-six thousand four hundred and twenty-two people …"
The words weren't purposely changed, but they were still like iron and silver hooks. Each stroke, each stroke was like a treasure sword, filled with an indescribable sharpness. There were also endless violent killing intents hidden within!
Looking around, there was blood everywhere. The ground was dyed red, corpses were strewn all over. If one looked closely, one could notice that without exception, they were all killed in one strike. There was no excess energy left in their bodies.
At this moment, Zong Shou was quietly looking at the sword in his hand. Threads of blood colored vital energy wrapped around his body. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to come to qidian.com to vote for me. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
