Since the golden-robed man did not speak, Gao Yi did not dare to take the initiative to ask anything.
He could only lower his head and wait for the Exalted Lord's orders or punishment in the most respectful and humble manner.
Finally, the golden-robed man said in a strange voice, "Gao Yi, this Exalted Lord is very disappointed in you."
Hearing this, Gao Yi's body trembled. He was so scared that his face turned pale and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He prostrated himself on the ground and said in a hoarse voice, "This subordinate is incompetent. Please punish me, Exalted Lord!"
The Exalted Lord ignored him and said indifferently, "Among the nine regions of the Southern Continent, the other eight regions are ruled by overlords. Only the Tianchen Region does not have an overlord and is directly ruled by the Imperial Court.
"The Sky Pillar Sect is the leader of the eight great sects and controls the Ancient Star Realm. It is equivalent to the overlord of the Tianchen Region.
"In the past ten years, the Tian Jian Sect has developed so quickly, but you have repeatedly missed the opportunity to replace the Sky Pillar Sect and control the Tianchen Region for this Exalted Lord!"
Gao Yi hurriedly said respectfully, "Exalted Lord, the reason why our sect has such strength and foundation today is all because of your support and nurturing over the past ten years.
"This subordinate and everyone in the sect is willing to serve you, Exalted Lord, to repay your kindness in nurturing us.
"However, the Sky Pillar Sect is a great sect with a thousand years of inheritance. Its foundation is abnormally deep. This subordinate does not dare to make decisions on his own, nor does he dare to rashly start a war to avoid failing at the last step."
At this point, Gao Yi paused and looked up to see the Exalted Lord's reaction.
Seeing that the Exalted Lord had no intention of interrupting him, he carefully continued, "Half a month ago, this subordinate wanted to seize the opportunity and decisively declare war on the Sky Pillar Sect.
"However, the Emperor came to the Sky Pillar Sect with the Imperial Court's imperial edict. The Emperor intends to protect the Sky Pillar Sect, so this subordinate does not dare to act rashly!
"This subordinate also heard that the Emperor has quietly returned to the Imperial Court to mobilize an army to protect the Sky Pillar Sect …"
The golden-robed man frowned as contempt flashed in his eyes. He said coldly, "Long Yunxiao's forces are limited to the Central Continent. What does he have to protect the Sky Pillar Sect?
"As for mobilizing an army to protect the Sky Pillar Sect, that is even more nonsense. He is only the Imperial Court's heir and does not have the right to command an army... "
Hearing these words, Gao Yi's spirit suddenly shook, his eyes surging with light and joy.
"I see, I understand!"
The golden-robed man glanced at him indifferently and said in a dignified voice, "Now is the best time. If you continue to delay and delay my plan, you and the Tian Jian Sect will cease to exist!"
Gao Yi's body trembled again. Fear and dread flashed in his eyes. He quickly kowtowed and said, "Please calm down, my Lord. This subordinate understands what to do!"
"This subordinate will go make arrangements and prepare to wage war against the Sky Pillar Sect!"
The golden-robed man narrowed his eyes and shouted in a deep voice, "Fool!"
"How can the Heavenly Sword Sect replace the Sky Pillar Sect with just the strength of the Heavenly Sword Sect?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand. With a flash of light, a sandalwood scroll appeared in his palm.
The golden-robed man flicked his hand, and the scroll flew towards Gao Yi.
"This is my plan. You just need to execute it."
Gao Yi quickly received the sandalwood scroll with both hands and respectfully held it in his palm. He solemnly said, "This subordinate will follow your orders, my Lord. This subordinate will do his best and will not let you down!"
The golden-robed man looked up at the door of the secret chamber and said in a deep voice, "Tuoba Rui, come in!"
Following his order, the door of the secret chamber was opened from the outside.
A burly red-haired young man wearing black leather armor stepped into the secret chamber with a dignified appearance.
The burly young man's facial features were as sharp as a sculpture, and his eyes were red like two balls of flames.
Although he was only 15 or 16 years old, his body was abnormally tall and sturdy, exuding a violent and intrepid aura.
He was the Tuoba Rui that the golden-robed man spoke of. Whether it was his figure, appearance, or temperament, he did not look like a human.
Tuoba Rui walked into the secret chamber and came before the golden-robed man. He respectfully bowed and saluted.
"Tuoba Rui greets Adoptive Father. Please instruct me!"
The golden-robed man nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, "Tuoba Rui, follow Gao Yi and cooperate with him to carry out my plan."
"Understood!" Tuoba Rui cupped his hands and saluted.
Then, Tuoba Rui followed Gao Yi, who was holding the scroll with both hands, out of the secret chamber.
Only the golden-robed man was left in the secret chamber.
He looked coldly at the door of the secret chamber. His gaze seemed to penetrate millions of miles of space and see the distant Central State Imperial Court.
He murmured in a low voice, "After the Sky Pillar Sect is destroyed, there will be a good show to watch."
"Central State has been peaceful for a thousand years. It's time to create a big trouble for the old man. The Imperial Court should also be in chaos."
"I'd like to see how capable Long Yun Xiao, that immature brat, is to secure his position as the Crown Prince!"
Speaking of this, a cold smile filled with hatred flashed in the depths of his eyes.
…
Ji Tianxing cultivated in the secret chamber for another two days and temporarily stabilized his martial arts foundation.
Now that Chu Tiansheng had entered the Immortal Cave to recuperate, he temporarily took over the position of Sect Master and managed the affairs of the sect.
He couldn't continue cultivating and could only move to the Sky Pillar Hall on Crimson Firmament Peak. With the help of the Elders, he quickly familiarized himself with and dealt with the various affairs of the sect.
Early in the morning, Ji Tianxing held a routine meeting in the Sky Pillar Hall. He discussed the next plan with the Elders and issued a series of orders.
Two hours later, the meeting ended and the Elders left the hall one after another.
Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao were the last to leave. The two walked out of the hall side by side and discussed the next plan as they walked.
At this moment, a black-robed Deacon hurriedly crossed the square and quickly arrived in front of the two.
The black-robed Deacon cupped his hands and saluted Ji Tianxing. Then, he took out a sealed letter.
"Acting Sect Master, just now, an Elder of the Tian Jian Sect came to our sect and presented this letter of challenge. He specifically said that he wanted to give it to Yun Yao."
Ji Tianxing immediately frowned. A cold light flashed in his eyes. "The Tian Jian Sect actually dared to take the initiative to issue a letter of challenge?"
"Let me see." Yun Yao calmly took the letter. After opening the envelope, she took out a piece of Xuan paper from it.
There were hundreds of words written on the Xuan paper. The words were vigorous and forceful, containing a fierce and frightening sword intent. It was very arrogant and overbearing.
The contents of the letter of challenge were even more confident and arrogant.
After Yun Yao finished reading the letter of challenge, she put away the envelope. She calmly said to Ji Tianxing, "The Tian Jian Sect has a new chief disciple named Tuoba Rui."
