Chapter 227: Senior Brother, Don’t Be Foolish!

In the Great Hall of Yuanwu.

The Fuyiao Sword Sect, relying on their might, looked down upon the weak, believing they could flaunt their dominance as the strongest force in the North and disregard all rules—including those governing the Centennial Competition. They stubbornly refused to relinquish their throne as the number one sect in the North, nor would they retreat from the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

This left everyone stunned.

For endless ages, no sect had dared to challenge the rules of the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

And no sect had ever dared to disrupt the rules of the Centennial Competition.

Never had that happened.

Yet this time, the Fuyiao Sword Sect lost the Centennial Competition.

However, they were unwilling to accept reality.

This sent shockwaves throughout the entire North.

Things were about to get chaotic.

In the square, countless people were silent.

The Fuyiao Sword Sect, the top sect of the North.

Their strength was such that even all the sects in the North coming together couldn’t stand against them.

Li Canghai had a point: the cultivation world was a jungle; the weak were preyed upon by the strong. In this realm, whoever had the hardest punch called the shots.

Such was the harsh reality of the cultivation world.

The Fuyiao Sword Sect, boasting overwhelming strength, dared to ignore the Qingyun Sect, dismissed all other sects, and even questioned the will of the Immortal Path that resided over the Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

But everyone knew the Fuyiao Sword Sect had this power—they could disregard everything.

An overwhelming sense of oppression filled the air.

Storm clouds were gathering!

Moreover, at that moment above Yuanwu Mountain, the skies were changing color, and the sun and moon were dimmed.

The entire world seemed to be engulfed in darkness.

Countless people in the square looked up nervously at the sky.

At this time, inside the hall.

Xiao Yang looked indifferently at Li Canghai.

Li Canghai was about to face misfortune.

In his previous life, during this handover ceremony, the Fuyiao Sword Sect also refused to withdraw from the Yuanwu Immortal Domain, aiming to continue their control over it.

Due to their strength, no one could challenge them.

Next, Li Canghai would demand the Immortal Ascension Order from him.

They believed that as long as they held the Immortal Ascension Order, they could keep dominating the Yuanwu Immortal Domain and remain at the top of the North.

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

Li Canghai shot a cold glare at Xiao Yang.

Everyone’s gaze fell squarely on Xiao Yang.

“Li Canghai, how dare you!”

Jiang Qitian sprang up from his throne, hands gripping the Qingyang Sword at his waist, glaring fiercely at Li Canghai.

A severely sharp Sword Qi radiated from him.

All individuals in the hall turned silent, like frightened mice.

“Hmph!”

Li Fuyiao cast a glance at Jiang Qitian and grasped the hilt of the Fuyiao Sword.

The Qingyang Sword and the Fuyiao Sword were both among the three legendary swords of the North.

A powerful wave of Sword Qi also emanated from Li Fuyiao.

The two Sword Qi waves clashed above the hall.

Everyone was astounded.

Everyone felt as if an unparalleled divine sword was pressed against their throats.

If these two were to fight, the people in the hall would surely suffer.

Xiao Yang remained indifferent.

He knew these two wouldn’t actually come to blows.

What place was this?

Did the Fuyiao Sword Sect really think they were invincible?

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

With tensions high between Jiang Qitian and Li Fuyiao, everyone was scared out of their minds.

Just as people thought Jiang Qitian and Li Fuyiao would actually fight…

“What are you all waiting for? Let’s finish this without hesitation. Let’s kill off all these ants! The North still belongs to us!”

Li Canghai stepped forward and shouted.

Members of the Guiyuan Martial Sect, Dan Ding Sect, and Refining Sect all stood up.

“What…?”

The rest in the hall were stunned by this scene.

No one expected this handover ceremony to turn into a deadly banquet.

“This…”

Liu Qingyun, Hua Linglong, and Nie Ruyan, the newly appointed leaders of the top ten sects in the North, were dumbfounded.

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

Jiang Qitian and the others turned pale.

Even a single Fuyiao Sword Sect could crush all sects in the North; now with the addition of Guiyuan Martial Sect, Dan Ding Sect, and Refining Sect, these four sects together could truly reshuffle the entire North.

The entire North was on the brink of chaos.

Qin Fei, standing behind Jiang Qitian, felt his heart surge with excitement at this sight.

Wasn’t this precisely what he wanted?

The mayhem in the North was their Demon Sect’s chance to rise!

Xiao Yang remained calm.

Let them fight!

Qin Fei was eager for them to start fighting right away.

“Hahaha… What Immortal Path will? Nonsense! You all better submit to my Fuyiao Sword Sect, or you’ll end up dead!”

Li Canghai laughed wildly.

Everyone’s expression changed dramatically.

The people from the Fuyiao Sword Sect, Guiyuan Martial Sect, Dan Ding Sect, and Refining Sect had all gone mad.

They truly dared to disregard the Yuanwu Immortal Domain’s rules.

They genuinely dared to treat the Immortal Path will with disdain.

That will was the ruler of the entire Yuanwu Immortal Domain.

“Boom…”

Just as the battle was about to erupt, a thunderous clap roared from above the hall, shaking the very roof.

The next moment, a bolt of lightning fell from the sky, striking Li Canghai.

He was instantly reduced to ashes without even letting out a single cry of despair.

“…”

Everyone was dumbfounded.

A living person was just obliterated into dust before their eyes.

And that person was Elder Li Canghai from the Fuyiao Sword Sect.

That was a Half Saint!

The hall fell silent.

The people from the Fuyiao Sword Sect were completely bewildered.

“Li… Elder Li…”

Li Xingyao and the other disciples of the Fuyiao Sword Sect were terrified by this scene.

“Ha ha…”

A hearty laugh shattered the silence in the hall.

“That’s the consequence of disrespecting the Immortal Path will.”

Liu Qingyun said, laughing loudly.

“How is this possible…”

The disciples of the Fuyiao Sword Sect looked horrified.

At that moment, even Li Fuyiao found it hard to believe.

The Immortal Path will actually exists?

Xiao Yang smiled.

The Immortal Path will had finally made its move.

This battle was destined not to happen.

In his previous life, this had been the case.

At critical moments, the Immortal Path will intervened.

What could the strength of the Fuyiao Sword Sect do against that?

Just then, a figure appeared out of nowhere in the great hall.

Dressed in white with long hair, a veil covering her face, she floated in like a celestial being.

“The Immortal Path will?”

The leaders of the Fuyiao Sword Sect, Guiyuan Martial Sect, Refining Sect, and Dan Ding Sect gazed nervously at the figure.

“Hmph, you don’t even recognize me anymore?”

The newcomer said coldly.

“What… the Great Ancestor?”

Li Fuyiao stared in shock at the white-clad woman floating toward her.

Everyone marveled at the sudden appearance of this white-clad woman.

She was actually the Great Ancestor of the Fuyiao Sword Sect, the legendary Sword Saint?

Why had she appeared here all of a sudden?

At this moment, the white-clad woman floated in front of Li Fuyiao.

Li Fuyiao was about to pay her respects.

“Slap!”

A crisp sound echoed as the white-clad woman unexpectedly slapped her across the face.

“…”

Once again, everyone was dumbfounded.

The dignified leader of the Fuyiao Sword Sect had been publicly slapped, and she didn’t dare utter a word of complaint.

After all, the one who slapped her was her Great Ancestor.

A being at the Sacred Martial Realm, she stood on the brink of true power and had an incredibly long lifespan.

She had been in seclusion for years.

Even for Li Fuyiao, it would have been difficult to catch a glimpse of her.

Now, this elder of the Fuyiao Sword Sect had suddenly appeared.

She was the true invincible powerhouse of the North!

Her sole ambition was to break through to the legendary Land Immortal realm.

If Li Fuyiao hadn’t pulled such a stunt, she might never have come here.

“Greetings, Great Ancestor…”

Li Xingyao and the other disciples of the Fuyiao Sword Sect hurriedly knelt before the elder.

The Great Ancestor didn’t even glance at them.

“No one is allowed to disrupt the rules of the Centennial Competition.”

The Great Ancestor shot a cold glare at Li Fuyiao, then turned to scan the crowd.

“What…”

Everyone was shocked.

What did the Great Ancestor mean by this?

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

What was going on?

Everyone was astonished that the Great Ancestor wouldn’t support the Fuyiao Sword Sect—this was unexpected for Liu Qingyun and the others.

The Great Ancestor had appeared to uphold justice impartially?

Only Xiao Yang understood what was happening.

The Great Ancestor had no choice but to intervene.

Otherwise, many lives would be lost today.

The consequences of blaspheming the Immortal Path will were severe.

After all, Li Canghai had been obliterated into dust.

“What an imposing presence!”

At that moment, an ancient voice rang from outside the hall.

The next moment, a figure strode in through the grand entrance of the hall.

This person had white hair and a youthful face, his long sleeves billowing like an ordinary old man.

Because there wasn’t a trace of martial aura emanating from this elder.

Upon seeing this person, Xiao Yang’s pupils involuntarily constricted.

“Chu Wuyā?”

The Great Ancestor of the Fuyiao Sword Sect was taken aback.

“He’s Chu Wuyā?”

“The elder of the Guiyuan Martial Sect at the Sacred Martial Realm?”

Everyone in the hall was utterly astonished.

The Martial Saint of the Guiyuan Martial Sect had arrived.

With his appearance, the situation was filled with uncertainty.

Yet Xiao Yang knew, even with Chu Wuyā present, nothing would change.

The rules of the Centennial Competition couldn’t be broken, not by anyone, and certainly not by Chu Wuyā.

“Li, my friend, long time no see. Hope you’re doing well!”

Chu Wuyā cupped his hands toward the Great Ancestor.

“Chu Wuyā, do you also intend to break the rules of the Centennial Competition?”

The Great Ancestor looked at Chu Wuyā, frowning.

“Haha… I’m going to break the rules of the Centennial Competition; what of it?”

Chu Wuyā laughed arrogantly.

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

Chu Wuyā was a Martial Saint; had he simply stayed at the Guiyuan Martial Sect, nothing would have happened.

Instead, he came here looking for trouble—he was asking for it.

Xiao Yang recalled the events of his previous life.

The Guiyuan Martial Sect would surely decline this time around.

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