No wonder the Primordial Mighty Ones present were so utterly shocked.
One had to know.
Ever since Dao Ancestor Hongjun had lectured in Zixiao Palace and preached to all living beings of the Primordial World, the Profound Sect had become the orthodox representative of the Primordial World.
Countless trillions of Primordial World living beings had all regarded entering Dao Ancestor's Profound Sect as their lifelong pursuit.
Setting everything else aside.
Among the Primordial Mighty Ones present, aside from the Dragon, Phoenix, and Qilin ancient clans, basically everyone had some connection of incense affinity with the Profound Sect.
Back then, when the Three Pure Ones and Two Sages under Dao Ancestor's Profound Sect established the four great sects in the Primordial World, all living beings had eagerly followed.
But now.
They had heard Lin Xuan say that he had decided to make the Interception Sect withdraw from the Profound Sect.
No longer the Profound Sect's Interception Sect, but the Primordial World's Interception Sect!
This.
This was practically the same as abolishing the Profound Sect outright!
In the current Primordial World, the Western Sect, Chanjiao, and Human Sect—the three great Profound Sect branches—had all been destroyed by Lin Xuan.
Only the Interception Sect remained.
And now, the Interception Sect was also withdrawing from the Profound Sect.
Then the Profound Sect would no longer possess the fortune of any sect.
Wouldn't that be the same as being directly abolished?
Besides, this was such an important matter.
Shouldn't Lin Xuan have built an altar, conducted a formal ceremony of worshipping Heaven, and reported it to the Heavenly Dao before making this decision?
How could he simply summon them here and announce it so casually?
This was too—
Far too informal.
Yet the Interception Sect disciples present felt little surprise after hearing Lin Xuan's words.
