Although he discovered that a Primordial realm expert had intruded on the territory of the Heavenly Moon Empire, the old general did not react at all, as this had exceeded the limits of his abilities.
Since a Primordial realm expert had intruded, there would naturally be experts of the same level in the empire to stop them. It was no longer his problem.
"I wonder why this Primordial realm expert has intruded on our Heavenly Moon Empire. But from the looks of it, he doesn't seem like he has come to visit on friendly terms." The old general looked in the direction that the Primordial realm expert had vanished in as he became worried.
In recent years, the Heavenly Moon Empire had not been as peaceful as it seemed on the surface. Ever since the Four Symbols Alliance kicked them out, the Heavenly Moon Empire had been completely isolated. The surrounding organisations eyed them with hostility, making the Heavenly Moon Empire feel like a candle in the wind that could be extinguished at any time.
"However, our Heavenly Moon Empire has already submitted to the Tianyuan family. We've become a subsidiary organisation of the Tianyuan family. Our Heavenly Moon Empire no longer fears any organisation in the southern region of the Cloud Plane," the old general murmured to himself as he became much more relieved.
It was as if the Tianyuan family had become the greatest source of reassurance for him.
At this moment, a streak of light shot through the air in the Heavenly Moon Empire with lightning speed, traversing ten thousand kilometres in a single instance. It was unbelievably fast.
Two blurry figures could be vaguely seen hidden within the streak of light, flying through the air as it was enveloped by resplendent light.
Naturally, the two of them were Jianchen and Hei Ya.
However, Jianchen grabbed Hei Ya by the arm as he flew with him.
"This should be the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds!"
A while later, Jianchen and Hei Ya stopped outside a lofty mountain range. The streak of light vanished, revealing the two of them.
The energy of the world was abundant in the lofty mountain range. Aoyama was lush with water and birds as companions. The peak of the mountain was partially hidden in the clouds, appearing from time to time. It seemed like a paradise.
Moreover, powerful pulses of energy pulsed from the depths of the mountain range. This was the activation of a formation, isolating the senses of the soul.
"It's truly an honor for the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan to visit our Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds. I would like to welcome the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan with all the elders of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds." At this moment, the protective formation of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds opened up in the depths of the lofty mountain range. An old man in blue robes flew out, and a large group of people followed behind him.
The blue-robed old man was the Primordial realm ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds. His name was Sheng Ping.
Sheng Ping led a group of people out to greet him. His attitude was very humble, even a little groveling. His expression was full of respect.
He had already guessed the purpose of Jianchen's visit. His heart was filled with fear and unease.
The entire Heavenly Moon Empire had already submitted to the Tianyuan family. The master of the Tianyuan family before him, whose words carried enormous weight, could end the life of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds with a single word. How could the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds dare to show any disrespect?
Behind Sheng Ping, the elders all lowered their proud heads. All of them felt extremely mixed. They were filled with all sorts of emotions.
This was because they could not help but think about how the patriarch of the Tian Yuan clan was only an Overgod in the past few decades. Yet now, he had completely changed, becoming a powerful figure that even their ancestors had to lower their heads to. Even the imperial family of the Heavenly Moon Empire had to lower their heads to him.
This caused them to hiss, but at the same time, they also felt very uncomfortable.
They had only reached the Divine King realm after cultivating for several tens of thousands of years or even longer. However, Jianchen had become a powerful Primordial realm expert in just a few decades. Some of them felt rather jealous, lamenting the unfairness of the heavens.
Jianchen was invited into the main hall politely by the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds. All the Divine King realm elders accompanied him silently, following behind with their heads lowered.
None of them dared to say anything.
The Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds was rooted in the Heavenly Moon Empire. Due to the great difference in strength between them and the imperial family, they would often have to listen to the arrangements of the imperial family. However, the imperial family had to listen to Jianchen now.
As a result, Jianchen was more like a master to the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds.
Jianchen sat down on the main seat without any hesitation in the main hall of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds. Hei Ya stood behind Jianchen silently like a loyal guard. He glanced past everyone in the hall with his indifferent and deep gaze.
"Sheng Ping, you seem to be very nervous. What? Are you so afraid of my arrival in the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds? And you elders, why are your faces so ugly? You're all Divine King realm experts, so why are your legs trembling? Could it be that an exalted Divine King can't even stand stably? " Jian Chen sat on the main seat very casually. He glanced past everyone present indifferently and seemed to smile, yet he was not smiling.
However, the ancestor of the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds and a few elders could clearly sense the sliver of coldness in Jianchen's smile.
"The patriarch's current status is great and authoritative. He can do whatever he wants. Our Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds is just a little too insignificant in the patriarch's eyes. The patriarch's personal visit to our tiny place naturally makes us fearful," Sheng Ping smiled apologetically. However, he was sweating inside. He understood very well that whether the Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds could continue to exist would all depend on the patriarch's mood.
"The ancestor is right. The patriarch's personal visit to our tiny place has made us fearful. How can we remain calm?" A few Divine King realm elders below chimed in hurriedly. They spoke politely.
Jianchen smiled helplessly when he heard that. He said, "I never thought that I, Jianchen, would actually scare you to such a state. Am I really that terrifying? Or are you saying that you have a guilty conscience? "
Sheng Ping's face changed. This matter directly affected the survival of their Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds, so he did not dare to lower his guard at all. Although he had tacitly approved of the attack on Jianchen in the past, he would never admit to it.
Sheng Ping opened his mouth. Just when he was about to explain, Jianchen waved his hand rather impatiently. He said, "Enough. I don't have that much time to waste here with you. Sheng Ping, don't tell me you don't know about what happened in the past. You and the elders' expressions have already betrayed you."
"I'll give you a choice right now. The first choice is for everyone who knows the inside story to sever an arm. You won't be able to recover it within a century. The second choice is for me to personally deal with your Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds like how I dealt with my enemies. You can decide for yourselves. "
Jianchen had already said something like that. Sheng Ping knew that no matter how he tried to deny or quibble, it would be pointless. Perhaps he would even make Jianchen resent him, which would lead to even more painful consequences.
He immediately made his decision. He gritted his teeth and said, "Thank you for sparing my life, patriarch. From today onwards, the entire Daoist Sect of Calm Clouds will follow the patriarch's orders!" With that, Sheng Ping picked up a sword and chopped off his left arm without any hesitation at all.
Spurt! Blood spurted out, and his left arm was separated from his body. He had severed an arm.
"Ancestor!" Sheng Ping's actions caused the expressions of a few Divine King realm elders in the main hall who had no idea what was going on to change drastically. They were filled with panic and confusion. They had no idea what had happened.
However, after Sheng Ping, a few more elders in the main hall took out their weapons and severed their arms without any hesitation. Blood sprayed everywhere, dyeing the ground red.
