The Heavenly Dao Sect Master pondered for a moment!
She looked at the people of the Temple of Killing Gods in the sky and spoke!
"Then what do you propose we do? Since the matter has already happened, it has to be resolved."
The people of the Temple of Killing Gods looked at one another before finally turning their gazes to Chu Ling'er!
Seeing that no one from the Temple of Killing Gods spoke.
The Heavenly Dao Sect Master simply spoke up!
"Who made the decision without authorization? Step forward!"
Hearing the words of the Heavenly Dao Sect Master, the people from these various factions all furrowed their brows!
It looked like the Heavenly Dao Sect was about to shift the blame onto those elders!
The elder who had previously hunted down Chu Fan stepped forward!
His gaze revealed helplessness!
It seemed he too had become a mere chess piece!
Yet, thinking of his household, he had no choice but to play the part of this chess piece to the end!
This elder looked up at the people of the Temple of Killing Gods in the sky!
A smile appeared at the corners of his mouth!
Then, a muffled grunt!
A mouthful of fresh blood spewed out!
Mixed within it were shattered internal organs!
His body collapsed downward!
These people knew that as for this matter, the initiative now rested firmly in the hands of the Heavenly Dao Sect!
The Heavenly Dao Sect Master looked at Chu Ling and said!
"Saintess, the elder of our Heavenly Dao Sect has now taken his own life!"
"This matter was a decision he made on his own accord!"
"Guards!"
The Great Elder responded.
"Kill the entire family of this elder, numbering one and a half thousand people, and strike their names from the roster of our Heavenly Dao Sect!"
"Without the consent of the sect, he actually dared to make a private decision that violated the decrees of our Heavenly Dao Sect!"
"This incident shall also serve as a warning!"
"Do not presume that just because you are people of the Heavenly Dao Sect, you can commit acts detrimental to the sect!"
After witnessing the orders given by the Heavenly Dao Sect Master!
The people from these various factions all fell silent!
They could not help but marvel that the Heavenly Dao Sect Master truly possessed formidable resolve!
Even the Temple Master of Killing Gods did not know what to say anymore!
Chu Ling'er was also stunned for a moment, failing to react in time!
"Sect Master, all thirteen thousand six hundred members of Elder Zhao's clan have been fully executed!"
"Is the Saintess satisfied now?"
Although burning with lingering resentment, Chu Ling'er had no other recourse!
"Such a thing happened right within your Heavenly Dao Sect, whether you knew about it or not, you yourselves are well aware. By pushing out a scapegoat, who knows what kind of malicious intentions you truly harbor?"
"Do you think that by slaughtering some people, you can make amends for the wrongs committed by your Heavenly Dao Sect?"
"Is the Saintess still unsatisfied? Thirteen thousand six hundred people have paid with their lives to accompany your brother!"
"I would also like to ask, why did your brother manage to acquire that demonic saber?"
"Could it be that your brother and the elder of our Heavenly Dao Sect who perished here were in league with one another?"
"I have also investigated the matter. Your brother was previously considered nothing more than trash, so how was he able to cultivate and even possess the strength of the Late Stage Divine Ability Realm?"
"Should you not give me an explanation for all of this?!"
"Those who do wrong must take their beatings, and those who take beatings must stand straight; we have already made our stance clear."
"Now shouldn't you explain why your brother was able to cultivate and even absorb the essence blood of others!"
"What if your brother's mind was twisted by the hatred of his lineage's annihilation, causing him to join the Devil Race and collude with this elder of my Heavenly Dao Sect solely to frame my Heavenly Dao Sect for injustice?"
"Now that our stance has been made clear!"
"Shouldn't your Chu household also prove its own innocence?!"
Upon hearing the words spoken by the Heavenly Dao Sect Master.
The leaders of these various factions secretly thought to themselves.
As expected, this old fox of the Heavenly Dao Sect has seized the initiative.
No longer targeting the Saintess.
They were now targeting the Chu household.
At present, the Chu household consisted of only Chu Fan and Chu Ling'er.
Chu Fan was already dead.
Leaving only Chu Ling'er.
Thirteen thousand six hundred elders and dependents of the Heavenly Dao Sect had served as scapegoats for the Heavenly Dao Sect!
The people of the Heavenly Dao Sect also knew that Chu Fan's death alone could not resolve the issue!
Only by driving Chu Ling'er to a dead end could this matter truly be settled.
After all, Chu Ling'er was different from Chu Fan.
Chu Ling'er was the Saintess of the Temple of Killing Gods.
The Temple of Killing Gods was likewise a hegemon-level faction!
If she were to inherit the Temple of Killing Gods in the future.
It would pose a massive threat to their Heavenly Dao Sect.
Upon hearing the words of the Heavenly Dao Sect Master, Chu Ling'er felt a chill run through her heart.
She did not know what to say.
Meanwhile, the Temple Master of Killing Gods at her side looked at the Heavenly Dao Sect Master and spoke.
"What do you mean by this? A life for a life is an ancient and unchanging principle!"
"Regardless of whether Chu Fan was a devil or not, your Heavenly Dao Sect's shadow is implicated in all of this!"
"Now that the chief culprit has already bowed his head, this matter should be considered past."
Upon hearing this, the Heavenly Dao Sect Master burst into loud laughter.
"I never expected the Temple Master of Killing Gods to be so naive. A life for a life—do you truly believe the world works that way?"
"In the world of cultivation, a bigger fist is the ultimate truth."
"If not for the fact that your Temple of Killing Gods is also a hegemon-level faction!"
"And capable of bringing trouble to our Heavenly Dao Sect."
"Do you really think that just because we killed someone who might have been a devil,"
"Our Heavenly Dao Sect would have paid such a heavy price?"
"If not for the fact that your Temple of Killing Gods is also a hegemon-level power,"
"Even your Temple of Killing Gods would have been annihilated."
The Heavenly Dao Sect Master abruptly shed her usual demeanor.
And said with a murderous aura!
The Temple Master of Killing Gods fell silent.
What the Heavenly Dao Sect Master said was not wrong.
In the world of cultivation, a bigger fist was indeed the ultimate truth.
Who would bother reasoning with you?
A trace of regret flashed through the gaze of the Temple Master of Killing Gods.
If she had known better, she would have made thorough preparations before coming to the Heavenly Dao Sect!
Now, they had backed themselves into a corner where the Temple of Killing Gods could neither advance nor retreat.
Most importantly, the Heavenly Dao Sect Master was simply too ruthless.
She ordered the slaughter of over thirteen thousand people without a second thought.
Was she not afraid of chilling the hearts of the other members of the Heavenly Dao Sect?
The Temple Master of Killing Gods cast her gaze toward the people of the other factions; the Heavenly Dao Sect had treated all of them like fools, yet they had nothing to say about it?
As for the people of the other factions, they simply looked on with cold indifference.
As if this matter had nothing to do with them at all!
Chiefly, they were also terrified by the Heavenly Dao Sect Master's ruthless resolve in sacrificing thirteen thousand six hundred people!
Besides, when the time came, the Heavenly Dao Sect Master would surely give them a satisfactory explanation.
Seeing that the people of the other factions remained indifferent.
The Temple Master of Killing Gods sighed inwardly.
Could she truly abandon her own disciple?
Yet right at this moment.
She saw the void shatter like a sheet of glass.
Golden lotuses surged from the ground as a golden path paved the way.
Dragons formed entirely from Immortal Spiritual Energy continuously coiled and soared through the heavens!
As if they were cheering and rejoicing over something!
Immediately following this, six dragon horses manifested within the void!
Trailing an exquisite pavilion behind them.
And a voice drifted out from within the pavilion.
"Shouldn't the Heavenly Dao Sect first provide my Di Family with an explanation?"
The face of the Heavenly Dao Sect Master darkened.
Why had this Divine Son of the Di Family come again?
Why was he everywhere?
She looked toward Di Tian.
The Heavenly Dao Sect Master spoke up!
"What further account do we need to give your Di Family? Back when we were at the Di Family, the Great Elder's actions were unintentional, and he has already offered apologies and pleaded guilty!"
"A first-rate affiliated force of our Heavenly Dao Sect has already been annihilated by you."
At this very moment.
A Spirit Boat emerged once again from the void!
Inscribed with the character "Ye", the Spirit Boat radiated ten thousand paths of brilliance.
The face of the Heavenly Dao Sect Master darkened once more.
She had not expected the Ye Family to arrive as well.
Leading the vanguard was Ye Liuli!
Upon seeing Di Tian, a trace of delight flashed through her gaze.
Yet, noticing that the occasion was inappropriate.
She suppressed this joy.
And yet she still walked to Di Tian's side.
Di Tian addressed the Heavenly Dao Sect Master.
"There is no need for you to demand an explanation from the Temple of Killing Gods anymore."
"Furthermore, this matter has yet to be fully resolved!"
"Why don't we next listen to what these two individuals have to say?"
Immediately afterward, two figures were tossed out by Di Tian.
Upon laying eyes on these two figures, the Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect felt terror grip his soul, and beads of sweat began to drip down his forehead.
The rest of the people also narrowed their gazes as they looked at these two individuals; wearing the garments of the Heavenly Dao Sect, they were simply too conspicuous!
Di Tian looked toward the Great Elder of the Heavenly Dao Sect!
With a playful mockery in his voice, he said!
"It is not even hot today. I wonder what the Great Elder could possibly be so afraid of?"
