Shangqing Sect.
Conference Hall.
At this moment, there were more than a hundred people gathered. To be exact, there were more than a hundred Immortals. These Immortals were the leaders of the major sects and clans of the divine continent.
There was the Sect Master of the Mahayana Sect.
There was also the Sect Master of the Pure Sun Sect.
The Clan Master of the Cloud Dragon Clan.
The Clan Master of the Flowing Light Clan.
These sects and clans were all giants of the divine continent. Eight of the top ten sects of the divine continent came. As many as eighteen of the twenty-four Immortal Clans came. There were also quite a few other sects and clans.
It was no exaggeration to say that more than half of the major forces of the divine continent came.
The reason they came this time was very simple. One was to welcome the Female Sect Master out of seclusion.
The Female Sect Master Ye Tianlan's identity was not as simple as the Sect Master of the Shangqing Sect. At the same time, she was also the Palace Master of the Sengoku Earth Palace. She was also the only female Sect Master in this world. Her identity was noble and could be said to be the highest in the world. Almost no one could compare to her.
Therefore.
How could the major sects and clans not come to welcome her?
Of course.
This time, in addition to welcoming the Female Sect Master, they also came to the Shangqing Sect for King Chixiao.
The news of King Chixiao's return had already spread throughout the world. Hearing that the Female Sect Master was coming out of seclusion, all the major sects and clans came as soon as possible. They all wanted to know whether this King Chixiao was real or fake.
In the hall, there were also many elders of the Shangqing Sect.
However, the person in charge was a woman who didn't look very old.
This woman was dressed in white. Her beauty was so beautiful that it was cold and elegant to the extreme. She was like a rose carved from ice at the peak of the Heavenly Mountain, noble and holy, dignified and imposing. She sat upright with a solemn expression.
This woman's name was Yun Wan.
She was not only the elder of the Shangqing Sect, but also the Sect Master's disciple. She was also the Female Sect Master's personal disciple. When the Female Sect Master was in seclusion, she was appointed the Vice Sect Master of the Shangqing Sect to act as the Sect Master.
Yun Wan was fully deserving of the title of Fairy of the Nine Heavens.
Because according to the rumors, she was an Immortal from the moment she was born. She was a Connate Immortal and Fairy of the Nine Heavens.
Yun Wan was fully deserving of the Heavens' pride.
Because it was rumored that she had a unique Heavenly Dao.
Heavenly Dao.
This was the leader of the 3,000 Great Daos, a Great Dao that ruled over the world. It was an existence that not even Immortals dared to touch.
One could imagine how sacred and noble the Heavenly Dao Edict was.
In the beginning, when the female sect empress appointed Yun Wan as the vice sect master to manage the affairs of the Shang Qing Sect, many of the elders and even the elders of the inner sect were very against it. In their minds, although Yun Wan was a fairy from the nine heavens and also had the heavenly decree, she was still too young and didn't have much experience. She wasn't suitable to manage the Shang Qing Sect.
However.
After the ancient times, following Yun Wan's bold reforms again and again, the Shangqing Sect grew rapidly. Whether it was fame, power, or influence, it had reached an unprecedented height. Sometimes, it could even influence Sengoku's decisions. Because of this, no one in the Shangqing Sect objected to Yun Wan anymore. They all admired her. At least, this was the case for the younger generation. Even if some of the older elders were not satisfied, they did not dare to say it out loud.
"Regarding King Chixiao, I'm sure everyone knows what Sengoku's intentions are."
Yun Wan's voice was as cold as her appearance.
However, it was only cold. There was no arrogance, no coldness, and no decisiveness.
The representatives of the various sects and families looked at each other. They indeed knew what Sengoku's intentions were, and they also knew that it was a decree from Yun Duan that forbade any conflict between Sengoku and King Chixiao.
As for why Yun Duan would send such a decree, they didn't know. This was also one of the reasons why they came. Besides, they also wanted to know what the Shang Qing Sect's attitude was.
Yun Wan seemed to know the purpose of the various sects and families this time. She said, "The Shang Qing Sect will follow Sengoku's wishes."
Upon hearing this, the expressions of the representatives of the various sects and families became somewhat complicated. This was because they came this time to find out whether this King Chixiao was real or not. At the same time, if it was the real King Chixiao, they all wanted to take this opportunity to take revenge.
In ancient times, almost all the major sects and families in this world, except for the Shang Qing Sect, had been slaughtered by King Chixiao. They had suffered annihilation. Some had died, some had been injured, and some had died. If it weren't for the revival of all living things in ancient times, these sects and families would probably have ceased to exist long ago.
If King Chixiao had died 300 years ago, everything would have ended.
However, now that King Chixiao was not dead, they all wanted to take revenge, wash away the humiliation of those years, and get rid of evil for the world.
Originally, with Sengoku in charge, they were not afraid of anything. However, Yun Duan had sent down a decree that Sengoku was not to have any conflict with King Chixiao. This shocked them, and they really couldn't accept it. They were also unwilling to accept it.
Fortunately.
With the Shang Qing Sect around.
As long as the Shang Qing Sect was willing to take the lead, even if they didn't rely on Sengoku, they were not afraid.
However, what they didn't expect was that the Shang Qing Sect would actually follow Sengoku's wishes.
What should they do now?
After all, this was King Chixiao, the all-powerful overlord of ancient times.
If neither Sengoku nor the Shang Qing Sect stepped in, the other sects and families would not dare to take the lead.
Were they just going to let it go?
The various sects and families were unwilling to accept it.
At this moment, an elder stood up and said, "Deputy Suzerain Yunwan, regarding the sinner of the Immortal Path, Gu Tianlang, shouldn't the Shang Qing Sect discuss it again?"
The person who spoke was the elder of the Shang Qing Sect, named Lei Ze. He said, "In the ancient times, Gu Tianlang relied on his heaven-defying creation to run amok in the world. He went on a killing spree, causing the major sects to be destroyed. Countless sects were destroyed because of this. After that, he even overthrew Sengoku for his own selfish desires, causing demons to wreak havoc in the world. Countless cultivators died tragically."
"Elder Lei Ze is right. Gu Tianlang's crimes are unforgivable. He has brought disaster to the world. His crimes are heinous and unforgivable. Heaven and earth will not tolerate it!"
Immediately after, another old woman stood up. She was also the elder of the Shang Qing Sect, named Elder Furong. She looked a little agitated and said, "Deputy Suzerain Yunwan, although I don't know why Yunduan issued such a strange decree, things have come to this. Since Sengoku doesn't want to make decisions for the world, the Shang Qing Sect, as the number one sect in the world, must stand up this time and seek justice for those who died tragically at the hands of Gu Tianlang in the ancient times. More importantly, we must get rid of the scourge that is Gu Tianlang in the modern times!"
