Chapter 152: Moral Coercion?

“Crack!”

The Celestial Conch shattered.

Two Celestial Conches were a pair; once one broke, the other followed suit.

“He actually made me wait for my death! He hasn’t even reached the Second Heaven, what right does he have? What right?!”

“Boom!”

An overwhelming aura erupted, instantly causing the Great Hall to collapse. A woman in a black dress with skin as white as snow and a mysterious symbol in the center of her brow burst forth from the hall.

“Tell the Eternal Order Sect that their forces in the First Heaven have been completely destroyed. The enemy is expected to reach the Second Heaven within three years; let them prepare for a full assault!”

“Yes!”

“Send my orders to summon all the ancestors of the Jiang Family to exit their seclusion and prepare for battle, anticipating powerful foes!”

“Yes!”

“Issue the Jiang Family’s Void Command, calling upon all cultivators in the world to gather and discuss the extermination of the demon!”

“Yes!”

…

One command after another was conveyed.

Jiang Die felt a bit chilly. Lu Ye was growing too fast, his cultivation skyrocketing.

He absolutely must not be allowed to commence his cultivation in the Second Heaven.

She needed to strangle him at the very moment he ascended.

For this, she didn’t mind using all her strength.

What feud did she have with Lu Ye?

That was something only Jiang Die knew. Anyway, Lu Ye was completely lost as to how he had offended her.

He and Jiang Die had only met in relation to the Second Heaven.

No conflict, no gain; Jiang Die was exceptionally talented, possessing the same physique as the ancestors of the Jiang Family.

Lu Ye assisted several of his beloved companions in ascending and entered the Third Heaven alongside Jiang Die. In the phantasm of the Third Heaven, she actively guided Lu Ye into the realm of illusion, thus becoming a member of Lu Ye’s harem.

Everything seemed entirely normal!

Lu Ye sat cross-legged, pondering the process of his acquaintance with Jiang Die. If one were to insist there was some feud between them…

Was it because Lu Ye had killed their ancestor?

No, the Jiang Family’s ancestor had already fallen into darkness and had no connection to Jiang Die; it wouldn’t lead to such a drastic reaction.

Whatever, Lu Ye didn’t want to dwell on it.

He could already imagine countless powerful existences in the Second Heaven waiting for his ascension.

It would be like a pack of starving wolves; as soon as he ascended, they would pounce and tear him apart.

With a wave of his hand.

The formations in the secret chamber, labored over for who knows how long, shattered.

Stepping out of the chamber.

With all the resources in hand, he had to figure out how to prevent himself from going up to the Second Heaven.

Resolve it now!

“Using the Sky Veil Technique as a foundation, deduce the Dao Veil Technique!”

Lu Ye issued the command to the System.

“Ding, deducing…”

The Sky Veil Technique could, under certain conditions, obscure the Heavenly Dao. Reaching a certain realm required ascending; this was a rule set by the Great Sage of the Nine Heavens.

So merely using the Sky Veil Technique wasn’t enough; he also had to conceal the path of the Great Sage.

The Eternal Order Sect was taken care of.

Lu Ye packed all the treasures he needed into his storage space.

“Thank you all for coming to assist; as for the remaining resources of the Eternal Order Sect, you may handle them as you see fit!”

“I have other matters, so I’ll take my leave now!”

“Lu Ye!”

Liu Changfeng called out.

“You’re leaving?”

“Oh, I still need to deal with the Yin-Yang Sect, as well as the Underworld and the Heavenly Pavilion. I’ll pay them a visit,” Lu Ye said with a smile.

“Mmm… be careful.”

Lu Ye cupped his hands in response, and Liu Changfeng spoke again.

“The Robber Sect also supported us during the last foreign invasion; do you think you could…”

“There’s no need to involve the Robber Sect; let them be at ease.”

Lu Ye was no longer the same Lu Ye from his past life; his thoughts were clear and insightful, understanding everything.

Right or wrong, knowing his mistakes and the scale of his actions, all weighed in his heart.

He absolutely wouldn’t allow for the same reckless behavior of his previous life to repeat.

“Alright, be cautious in everything.”

Lu Ye nodded and his figure vanished directly.

The Yin-Yang Sect wasn’t far from the Eternal Order Sect; just half an hour’s journey and he arrived.

Lu Ye was fully prepared for battle.

Who would have thought the Yin-Yang Sect’s protective formation wasn’t activated at all? Everyone from the sect stood neatly outside, waiting for Lu Ye’s arrival.

The moment Lu Ye appeared, the Sect Master, Qing Xue, eagerly approached him.

She was stunningly beautiful; although she was rather aged, her grace could enchant anyone.

A girl has her charm, and a woman has her allure.

The Sect Master had fully embodied the essence of a woman, yet she wore a cold expression, creating a strong contrast.

Similar to Bai Qiulan.

However, Bai Qiulan was more reserved, her contrast not nearly as striking or captivating as Qing Xue.

“We yield; everyone in the Yin-Yang Sect knows their mistakes and sincerely wishes to surrender. Please, Fellow Daoist Lu Ye, show mercy and grant the Yin-Yang Sect a chance for survival.”

“From now on, we will certainly speak cautiously and discern right from wrong. Every member of the Yin-Yang Sect has been waiting for this; none are absent. Please, Fellow Daoist Lu Ye, dispose of us at your convenience!”

“We are willing to serve you; all we seek is to survive and pursue the Dao.”

Everyone in the Yin-Yang Sect bowed in unison towards Lu Ye.

This display truly left Lu Ye a bit taken aback.

Surrendered?

Hold on, how could you all surrender like this?

What is going on here?

Lu Ye looked at the bowed heads, their necks presented as if they were just waiting for him to chop away at will.

The Yin-Yang Sect was dressed in black and white; white for males, black for females.

Regardless of gender, everyone was strikingly beautiful.

This sect had strict standards for appearances.

But in an instant, Lu Ye understood. They didn’t realize their mistakes; they knew they were about to die, so they assumed a posture of being butchered.

True people who realize their mistakes would have long since chosen to end their own lives rather than leave such a difficult choice for another.

To kill or not to kill? If you kill, you’re heartless; if you don’t, you’re a fool.

What a tough decision!

Lu Ye chuckled lightly.

With one sword strike, he aimed directly at the Sect Master, Qing Xue.

Qing Xue’s expression changed drastically, “Fellow Daoist Lu Ye, we truly recognize our wrongs.”

“You recognized your wrongs and still left such a difficult choice for me? Then you deserve to die!”

The saintly and the cold-hearted, whoever puts this difficult question before you, just kill that one.

Just go ahead and kill; there’s no wrong in that!

“Demon! You are nothing but a demon! Disciples, heed my command, exterminate the demon!”

Qing Xue sensed Lu Ye’s murderous intent. Her expression turned pale as she roared in anger.

The black and white colors rapidly shifted.

Clearly, they had rehearsed it countless times.

A sneer appeared on Lu Ye’s face; if Qing Xue hadn’t moved and let him attack, he would have respected her as a responsible sect master.

Perhaps, he could indeed spare the Yin-Yang Sect.

Indeed, not everyone is like Liu Changfeng.

If the Grand Dao Sect had reached such a state, Liu Changfeng would not let the legacy be extinguished and would certainly be willing to lay down his life to assert the Grand Dao Sect’s intentions of surrender.

Kill!
