Siheng could sense the fervent, pleading gazes of the two. He said, "Shang Jue has countless forces working behind the scenes. Now that the Immortal World has suffered such a heavy blow, both for the sake of justice and for personal reasons, I do not wish to see the Seven Peaks Sect fall into decline."
The Demon Clan is highly likely to make a coback, yet there is only one immortal left, and his status is rather awkward. He also needs to make plans. Should any unexpected events occur, it would be necessary for righteous cultivators to step forward.
The Master of Crimson Glow Peak was excited and overjoyed, his voice suddenly rising in pitch: "So, the Celestial Sovereign is agreeing?!"
"There’s a first ti for everything, and if I make an exception for the Seven Peaks Sect, other sects will follow suit, which could lead to chaos," Siheng pondered for a mont. "Once A’Li has rested well, I will discuss a strategy with her."
"Indeed," Yun Yubai nodded in agreent. Although Siheng did not agree on the spot, it was certain that the Seven Peaks Sect would not simply disband.
"However—" Siheng paused, turning to look at the Master of Crimson Glow Peak, "I am inclined to have you take on the role of the Sect Master."
The Master of Crimson Glow Peak was taken aback and instinctively replied, "No! How could I be worthy of such a position!"
Although among the Peak Masters, her cultivation was the strongest, the Seven Peaks Sect had always been renowned for its sword techniques. She, however, was a Talisman Cultivator and had only an average grasp of the Cloud Glow Sword Skill.
"I trust you and no one else," Siheng said with a serious and resolute expression. "If you refuse, there is no need for to discuss anything with A’Li."
He was unaware of how many corrupt individuals were within the Seven Peaks Sect and needed a trustworthy and upright person to manage it. Choosing anyone else would pose a significant risk.
Yun Yubai quickly urged, "Senior sister, you must believe in yourself and accept the position!"
The Master of Crimson Glow Peak, thinking of the future of the entire Seven Peaks Sect, hesitated for a mont before finally nodding, "Alright!"
But gaining the support of her fellow Peak Masters would likely be challenging. Nevertheless, in order to ensure the survival of the Seven Peaks Sect, she had to beco the Sect Master!
At that mont, in the Seven Peaks Sect, on the Center Peak, the grand main hall with its twelve dragon-carved pillars, exquisite carvings, and the placent of ten-thousand-year-old mystic wood, all displayed the grandeur and status of the Seven Peaks Sect.
However, this major sect of the Immortal World, ever since the withering of the Spirit Tree and the depletion of spiritual energy, had seen many disciples seeking other paths.
Now, several disciples who had stolen items were bound and kneeling in the center of the hall. In front of them were the remaining three Peak Masters. On both sides were the inner and outer disciples from each peak, totaling over three hundred people.
The Misty Peak Master spoke first, "Although the Seven Peaks Sect has undergone a great upheaval, the rules of our sect still stand, and we will not tolerate those with ill intentions to act recklessly!"
The Snowy Peak Master added, "Indeed! You may choose not to share the hardships with the Seven Peaks Sect, but before you leave, you must have your cultivation nullified and your mories erased!"
The Jade Wall Peak Master declared, "As for those who dared to steal, they shall pay with their lives!"
They had gathered all the disciples to make an example of these few.
Imdiately, the Misty Peak Master drew her sword. The kneeling disciples turned pale, each one shouting for rcy.
"Too late!" The Misty Peak Master was about to strike down.
But at the sa ti, the territory of the Seven Peaks Sect began to tremble!
Boom! Boom!
They looked at each other in increasing panic, asking what had happened.
The three Peak Masters imdiately left the hall, with the disciples closely following behind.
Seeing the scene before them, they were all agape and could hardly believe their eyes.
The three Peak Masters had used heavenly materials and expended a significant amount of spiritual energy to repair the formation barrier, which now had cracks appearing!
Could it be that Nanli had co again?!
Before they could react, they saw a figure in a black robe holding an axe, gathering a strange power.
The sky suddenly darkened.
A cold wind blew.
And the sound of crows cawing filled the air, eerie and chilling.
The axe was raised, surrounded by a dark misty aura.
The crowd voiced their doubts: "What is that? Is this person a devil cultivator?!"
The Snowy Peak Master’s feet trembled slightly: "It seems like a Demon Cultivator!"
"What?" The Jade Wall Peak Master was furious, "A Demon Cultivator dares to co to the Seven Peaks Sect and make trouble? This is sheer madness!"
He imdiately swung his two large hamrs.
The Misty Peak Master, with a grave expression, stared at the dark misty aura, and suddenly his expression changed dramatically, "No! It’s not just a Demon Cultivator!"
As soon as he finished speaking, the black-robed figure swung the axe down.
Another loud boom.
The sound was deafening.
The mountain shook.
The formation barrier was directly shattered, creating a large hole and collapsing outward.
The Center Peak also trembled violently, as if it were about to collapse.
The three Misty Peak Masters were not without skills. At this mont, they imdiately flew up with their swords, taking out their magical treasures.
"Disciples, follow us into battle!"
The enemy had co to their doorstep. Even if the disciples had second thoughts, they had to unite and fight together at this mont.
However, as soon as they revealed their magical weapons, the black-robed figure had already arrived at the platform square of the Center Peak.
It was a woman!?
Her movents were nimble, and the seemingly cumberso axe in her hands was like a feather.
She swung it down with force once more!
Bang!!!
The three Peak Masters in the front were the first to be hit.
They were thrown several ters away, landing on the ground and spitting out blood continuously.
They were clearly severely injured.
Even the disciples behind, who did not receive such a strong impact, fell in a heap, their Dantians damaged.
Shang Jue straightened her body and sneered, "After ten thousand years, you cultivators have really beco more and more pathetic."
She took off her hood.
An extrely beautiful face was revealed.
The Asura totem on her forehead and her pair of red eyes indicated her origin.
The Misty Peak Master was utterly shocked, his face pale as paper: "You... you are... the Demon Clan Asura!"
The two other Peak Masters gasped in shock.
So of the more knowledgeable disciples knew what the Demon Clan Asura was. The more timid ones had already fainted from fear, while the majority were trembling with fear.
Most of them had little concept of the Demon Clan Asura, but Shang Jue’s brief display of power had already shown them that she alone could easily wipe out the entire Seven Peaks Sect.
Shang Jue, however, was not in a hurry to strike. She smiled and said, "Yes, I am."
The Misty Peak Master could no longer get up. He could only sit cross-legged and ditate, hoping to find an opportunity to fight back.
He stared at Shang Jue, "I didn’t expect that after the Demon Domain was sealed for ten thousand years, there would still be a Demon Clan Asura outside. What do you want to do?! Are you planning to exterminate our Seven Peaks Sect?!"
Now, perhaps only the Celestial Sovereign could save them!
They still had contact with the Master of Crimson Glow Peak. He gave a signal, asking the Snowy Peak Master to find an opportunity to inform the Master of Crimson Glow Peak.
The Snowy Peak Master understood his intention, but with Shang Jue closely watching, it was extrely difficult to find an opening.
Shang Jue did not respond.
Another figure flew over on a sword.
It seed... it seed to be the junior brother!
They were about to shout out, but they saw that the junior brother had the sa totem mark and a pair of red eyes as Shang Jue!
They were stunned!
What was going on?!
Yun Yubai landed gracefully, his chin raised slightly, looking down upon everyone with an air of supre arrogance: "You once wronged and hurt . She is here to pave the way for , so that I can co and settle accounts with you all."
