Chapter 226

“Chapter 226: The Will of the Immortal Path Cannot Be Insulted!”

In the Yuanwu Great Hall.

The Fuyiao Sword Sect, relying on their overwhelming power as the strongest force in the Northern Lands, brazenly decided to break the rules of the century-long competition, refusing to relinquish the throne of the number one sect in the Northern Lands or step back from the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

This left everyone dumbfounded.

For countless years, no sect had dared to challenge the rules of the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

Nor had any sect ever dared to disrupt the competition’s rules.

Never.

And this time, during the century-long competition, the Fuyiao Sword Sect lost.

Yet, they stubbornly refused to accept reality.

This caused a huge uproar throughout the Northern cultivation world.

Chaos was on the horizon for the entire Northern region.

In the square, countless people fell silent.

The Fuyiao Sword Sect, the number one sect in the Northern Lands.

With a strength so formidable that even all the sects in the Northern Lands combined couldn’t compete.

Li Canghai had a point; in the cultivation world, it was survival of the fittest – the strong were revered, and whoever had the stronger fist called the shots.

This was the harsh reality of the cultivation world.

The Fuyiao Sword Sect flaunted their crushing strength, daring to disregard Qingyun Sect, daring to dismiss all other sects, even questioning the will of the Immortal Path that governed the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

But everyone knew that the Fuyiao Sword Sect had the power to do so.

Everyone felt an immense pressure.

A storm was brewing!

Moreover, at this moment, the skies above Yuanwu Mountain darkened, clouds swirling, and the sun and moon were blotted out.

The entire world had fallen into darkness.

Countless terrified eyes turned skyward.

Inside the great hall.

Xiao Yang looked indifferently at Li Canghai.

Li Canghai was about to hit rock bottom.

Because in the previous lifetime, during this handover ceremony, the Fuyiao Sword Sect also refused to withdraw from the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, intent on continuing their occupation.

Because of the strength of the Fuyiao Sword Sect, no one could touch them.

Next, Li Canghai was about to demand the Immortal Ascension Order.

They thought that as long as they held the Immortal Ascension Order, they could continue to dominate the Yuanwu Immortal Domain and maintain their position as the number one sect in the Northern Lands.

“Xiao Yang, hand over the Immortal Ascension Order!”

Li Canghai shot a cold glare at Xiao Yang.

Everyone’s eyes focused on Xiao Yang.

“Li Canghai, how dare you!”

Jiang Qitian suddenly sprang up from his throne, gripping the Qingyang Sword at his waist, his gaze locked onto Li Canghai.

A wave of terrifying sword qi radiated from him.

Everyone in the great hall fell silent.

“Hmph!”

Li Fuyiao glanced at Jiang Qitian and also gripped the hilt of the Fuyiao Sword.

The Qingyang Sword and the Fuyiao Sword were both among the top three divine swords of the Northern Lands.

A powerful wave of sword qi surged from Li Fuyiao as well.

The two sword qi forces clashed in the great hall.

Everyone was horrified.

It felt as though an unparalleled divine sword was pressed against their throats.

If these two were to battle, those in the hall would suffer.

Xiao Yang remained unfazed.

Because he knew these two wouldn’t actually fight.

Where were they?

Did the Fuyiao Sword Sect really think they were invincible?

Xiao Yang couldn’t help but shake his head in his heart.

Jiang Qitian and Li Fuyiao were on the edge.

Everyone was on edge, expecting a fight between Jiang Qitian and Li Fuyiao to erupt.

“What are you waiting for? Enough is enough! Let’s just eliminate these ants; the Northern Lands still belong to us!”

Li Canghai stepped forward, speaking loudly.

People from the Guiyuan Martial Sect, Dan Ding Sect, and Refining Sect all stood up.

“What…”

The others in the hall were utterly shocked by this scene.

No one expected that this handover ceremony was, in fact, a trap.

“This…”

Liu Qingyun, Hua Linglong, and Nie Ruyan, the three new leaders of the top ten sects in the Northern Lands, stood agog.

They could never have imagined that the Fuyiao Sword Sect and Guiyuan Martial Sect, along with the Dan Ding Sect and Refining Sect, would dare to act this way.

Jiang Qitian and the others changed expressions drastically.

Just the Fuyiao Sword Sect could crush all the sects in the Northern Lands; now, with the Guiyuan Martial Sect, Dan Ding Sect, and Refining Sect joining forces, they could indeed reshuffle the entire Northern Lands.

The Northern Lands were truly about to descend into chaos.

Qin Fei, standing behind Jiang Qitian, felt a surge of excitement.

This was exactly what he wanted!

In the chaos of the Northern Lands, the Demon Sect could rise again!

Xiao Yang remained calm.

Let them fight, let them fight!

Qin Fei couldn’t wait for these people to start fighting right away.

“Hahaha… What will the will of the Immortal Path do? Bullshit! You all better submit to the Fuyiao Sword Sect, or you’ll die!”

Li Canghai laughed maniacally.

Everyone’s faces shifted dramatically.

The Fuyiao Sword Sect, Guiyuan Martial Sect, Dan Ding Sect, and Refining Sect—they had all gone mad.

They actually dared to disregard the rules of the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

They actually dared to ignore the will of the Immortal Path.

That will is the ruler of the entire Yuanwu Immortal Domain!

“Boom…”

Just as a battle seemed imminent, a deafening thunderclap mysteriously echoed above the great hall, shaking the very roof.

The next moment, a lightning bolt struck down without warning, slamming directly into Li Canghai.

Li Canghai was instantly reduced to ashes, not even having the chance to scream as he was obliterated.

“…”

Everyone was left dumbfounded.

A living person was vaporized right before their eyes.

And that person was Li Canghai, an elder of the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

He was a Half Saint!

The great hall fell silent.

The Fuyiao Sword Sect members were even more dazed.

“Li… Elder Li…”

Li Xingyao and the other disciples of the Fuyiao Sword Sect were terrified at the sight.

“Hahaha…”

A loud laugh broke the silence in the great hall.

“This is the consequence of insulting the will of the Immortal Path.”

Liu Qingyun laughed heartily.

“How could this be…”

The disciples of the Fuyiao Sword Sect were all horrified.

At this point, even Li Fuyiao found it hard to believe.

Could the will of the Immortal Path really exist?

Xiao Yang chuckled.

The will of the Immortal Path had finally made a move.

This battle was destined not to happen.

In the previous life, it was under such circumstances that the will made its appearance.

No matter how strong the Fuyiao Sword Sect was, what did it matter?

Just then, an unfamiliar figure appeared suddenly in the great hall without warning.

Dressed in white, with long hair like silk, and a veil covering her face, she floated in like an immortal.

“The will of the Immortal Path?”

The leaders of the Fuyiao Sword Sect, Guiyuan Martial Sect, Refining Sect, and Dan Ding Sect were all nervously staring at her silhouette.

“Hmph, don’t tell me you don’t recognize me?”

The newcomer said coldly.

“What… Great Ancestor?”

Li Fuyiao looked in shock at the white-clad woman approaching her.

Everyone was stunned at the sight of the suddenly appearing woman.

She was the great ancestor of the Fuyiao Sword Sect, the legendary Sword Saint!

Why on earth was she here?

The white-clad woman floated to stand before Li Fuyiao.

As Li Fuyiao prepared to pay her respects,

Smack!

A crisp slap rang out, the white-clad woman striking her across the face.

“…”

Everyone was once again left stunned.

The mighty Sword Master of the Fuyiao Sword Sect had just been slapped in public!

And she didn’t dare to complain!

After all, the one who slapped her was her great ancestor.

A presence at the Sacred Martial Realm, who had touched the powers of the Great Dao, with a long life span.

She remained in seclusion for extended periods.

Even Li Fuyiao could seldom see her.

Yet, at this moment, the founder of the Fuyiao Sword Sect had suddenly appeared.

She was a true legend, nearly invincible in the Northern Lands.

She had devoted herself to breaking through to the mythical land of the Immortal Ascendance.

If Li Fuyiao hadn’t done something so outrageous, she wouldn’t have made this appearance.

“Greetings, Ancestor…”

Li Xingyao and the other disciples of the Fuyiao Sword Sect hastily knelt before the ancestral figure.

The great ancestor didn’t even glance at them.

“No one can break the rules of the century-long competition.”

The great ancestor shot Li Fuyiao a cold glance, then turned to survey the entire hall.

“This…”

Everyone was left shocked.

What did the great ancestor mean by this?

Wasn’t she supposed to support the Fuyiao Sword Sect?

What was going on?

The great ancestor not lending support to the Fuyiao Sword Sect surprised Liu Qingyun and the others.

The great ancestor came forth to uphold justice, completely impartial?

Only Xiao Yang understood what was happening.

The great ancestor had no choice but to intervene.

Otherwise, there would have been more casualties today.

The consequences of insulting the will of the Immortal Path were severe.

Li Canghai had just been reduced to ashes!

“What an imposing aura!”

At that moment, an old voice echoed from outside the hall.

In the next instant, an imposing figure strode in through the main doors.

This person had white hair and a youthful face, flowing sleeves like a common elder.

He gave off no aura of martial cultivation.

When Xiao Yang caught sight of this person, his pupils involuntarily contracted.

“Chu Wuya?”

Seeing this elder, the great ancestor of the Fuyiao Sword Sect was taken aback.

“He is indeed Chu Wuya?”

The elder of the Guiyuan Martial Sect?

Everyone in the great hall was stunned.

The Martial Saint of the Guiyuan Martial Sect had arrived.

With Chu Wuya’s appearance, everything was thrown into flux.

However, Xiao Yang knew that even with Chu Wuya here, nothing would change.

No one could disregard the rules of the century-long competition; even he can’t.

“Li Daoist, long time no see, hope you’re well!”

Chu Wuya cupped his hands in greeting to the great ancestor.

“Chu Wuya, are you planning to break the rules of the century-long competition too?”

The great ancestor narrowed her eyes at Chu Wuya.

“Hahaha… I’m going to break the rules of the century-long competition; what’s it to you?”

Chu Wuya laughed arrogantly.

Xiao Yang, witnessing this scene, couldn’t help but shake his head and sigh.

Chu Wuya was a Martial Saint; if he had just stayed at the Guiyuan Martial Sect, there wouldn’t have been any trouble.

But he chose to come here and bring doom upon himself; he deserved it!

Xiao Yang recalled what had happened in the previous life.

The Guiyuan Martial Sect would inevitably face ruin this time!

These people from the Guiyuan Martial Sect were simply courting death!
