The atmosphere in the room was a little tense.
The attitude of the Heavenly Sword Sect Master and the other sect masters was truly overbearing.
Ji Tianxing stepped forward in righteous indignation and spoke up for Yun Yao.
Unfortunately, his words carried little weight, and the Sect Masters didn't take his words to heart.
Seeing this, Grandma Shui Yue hurriedly stood up and tried to smooth things over with a kind expression.
"Sect Masters, please listen to this old woman."
"This news is very sudden for Yun Yao. She definitely isn't ready yet. Sect Master Chu isn't here and can't help her make a decision. It's useless for you to persuade her. "
She tapped the jade walking stick in her hand and said with a serious expression, "This matter will end here for the time being. It won't be too late to make a decision after Yun Yao goes back and discusses it with Sect Master Chu."
"I believe that with Yun Yao and Sect Master Chu's wisdom, they will definitely make a wise decision."
"Yes, that's right." The Sect Master of the Six Harmonies Sect nodded slightly in agreement.
The Tian Jian Sect Master and the other Sect Masters didn't say anything else. Everyone tacitly agreed with Grandma Shui Yue's opinion.
Next, everyone discussed some matters related to the situation in the Ancient Realm of the Stars.
Four hours later, everyone had finished what they needed to say and what they needed to discuss.
The Tian Jian Sect Master loudly announced that this session of the meeting would end here.
It was late at night. The night sky was filled with bright stars, and the bright moon shone down a thousand feet of silver light.
After the meeting ended, several sect leaders led their disciples to bid farewell to the crowd and left the Star Platform.
However, a few Sect Masters stayed behind. They either admired the stars in the sky on the Star Platform, or gathered together to discuss something in low voices.
Yun Yao and Ji Tianxing naturally wouldn't stay. They weren't in the mood to admire the stars, moon, and scenery.
The two of them bowed to Grandma Shui Yue, Sect Master Yan, and Sect Master Qi before leaving the Star Platform on their spirit cranes.
The spirit cranes sped through the night sky, heading straight back to the Sky Pillar Sect.
Yun Yao and Ji Tianxing stood side by side on the back of the spirit crane. Their expressions were cold and solemn.
Both of them were silent as they stared at the night sky in front of them, both lost in their own thoughts.
After a long while, Yun Yao turned to look at Ji Tianxing and said with a somewhat complicated tone, "Junior Brother Tianxing, you are usually calm and reserved. Why did you suddenly stand out tonight and scold those Sect Leaders furiously? Aren't you worried that those Sect Masters will vent their anger on you because of this? "
In fact, when Ji Tianxing stood up for her and spoke up for her, denouncing the Tian Jian Sect Master and the other Sect Leaders, she was touched and worried for Ji Tianxing.
Ji Tianxing shook his head and said with a calm expression, "The Tian Jian Sect Master and those Sect Leaders are pretending to be benevolent and righteous. It's disgusting!"
"They are so aggressive and forced Eldest Senior Sister to do something you don't want to do. Of course I can't sit idly by and do nothing. I only want to scold them in my righteous anger. Why would I care so much?"
Yun Yao's clear eyes stared at him. Her tone was calm, but her expression was serious. She asked, "You don't want me to be a Heavenly Consort either, right?"
"Of course!" Ji Tianxing nodded without hesitation.
After he finished speaking, he came back to his senses. He faintly felt that Yun Yao's words had a deeper meaning.
He saw that Yun Yao's clear eyes seemed to contain a strange color. His heart suddenly skipped a beat.
He hurriedly turned his head away and stopped looking at her deep eyes. He pretended to be calm as he looked forward and explained.
"Eldest Senior Sister, you are obsessed with martial arts. This is something everyone knows. You have your own choices and your own path to walk. Of course you won't be at the mercy of others. "
"The Tian Jian Sect Master and those Sect Leaders are all selfish hypocrites. They actually want you to sacrifice yourself for the benefit of their respective Sects. How hateful!"
"En." Yun Yao only responded and nodded. She didn't say anything else.
After that, the two of them fell silent and stopped talking about this matter.
Twelve hours later, it was noon the next day. The spirit crane finally returned to the Sky Pillar Sect.
Yun Yao and Ji Tianxing rushed straight to Chi Xiao Peak. They landed outside the Sky Pillar Palace and entered the main hall together.
The guards guarding the entrance of the main hall hurriedly came forward and greeted the two of them.
Yun Yao said that she wanted to see the Sect Leader and that she had something important to report. The guard turned around and entered the hall to report the news.
The two of them entered the Sky Pillar Palace and waited in the main hall for a while before Chu Tiansheng walked in and sat on the Sect Leader's throne.
"Disciple greets Sect Leader Master!"
Yun Yao and Ji Tianxing hurriedly bowed to Chu Tiansheng.
Chu Tiansheng nodded slightly and asked with a dignified expression, "The meeting ended so quickly? What did the eight Sects discuss when they gathered? "
Yun Yao hurriedly reported the plan to eliminate the remaining demons to Chu Tiansheng in detail.
After Chu Tiansheng finished listening, he nodded and said, "That's good too. The remaining demons have been entrenched in the ancient realm for too long. It's time to eliminate them as soon as possible."
"The Tian Jian Sect and those other Sects all have dirty thoughts and are unwilling to participate in the operation. This is something that I have long expected."
"Since the Heart Moon Sect, Six He Sect, and Pill Cauldron Sect all want to participate, then according to what they said, Yun Yao, you will be in charge of the operation this time. You must make thorough arrangements."
Yun Yao bowed and said calmly, "Disciple understands!"
Chu Tiansheng was silent for a moment. He stared at Yun Yao and Ji Tianxing and asked in a deep voice, "Other than the operation to eliminate the demons, that matter … you already know about it, right?"
Yun Yao and Ji Tianxing both nodded.
Chu Tiansheng asked Yun Yao, "Yun Yao, what do you plan to do with this matter?"
Yun Yao cupped her hands and said firmly, "Disciple only wants to pursue the peak of martial arts. I have no intention to talk about marriage."
Chu Tiansheng nodded and revealed an expression that said, "As expected."
He was Yun Yao's Master. Of course, he understood Yun Yao's nature and had already guessed that Yun Yao would not agree.
He frowned and said in a serious tone, "Yun Yao, regarding the matter of the Emperor choosing a wife, Master will not make a decision for you, nor will I force you. This matter is entirely up to you."
"However, Master needs to tell you about the situation between the Tian Xuan Continent and the Central State."
At this point, Chu Tiansheng's tone became serious and deep. He said slowly, "There are five major regions in the Tian Xuan Continent. They are the East, West, North, South, and the Central State."
"The Central State is the core of the continent and the most prosperous place. It is controlled by the Four Great Imperial Courts. The Four Great Imperial Emperors are the strongest and leaders of each race. "
"The Four Great Imperial Emperors are the Southern Human Emperor, the Eastern Water Emperor, the Northern Demon Emperor, and the Western Goblin Emperor."
"The South of the continent is the territory of the Human Clan. There are nine major regions, hundreds of kingdoms, tens of thousands of sects and forces, and hundreds of millions of people."
