Grand Yu's National Preceptor: Ask Dao Sect Must Die

In the unclaimed cave, an old man with a wrinkled face heard the news from his subordinate and suddenly stood up, his terrifying aura sweeping through every inch of space.

"What?! Dawn has been captured?!"

Seeing the Grand Preceptor's anger, the subordinate forced a smile and said, "Yes, Venerable Dawn has been captured by Great Xia, and several brothers hiding in Dingxin City have lost contact and are very likely captured as well."

The Dawn Venerable was a vital force in the revival of the Great Yu Dynasty, a knife meant to cut open the Great Xia Dynasty. Unexpectedly, before he could even cut off a piece of the Great Xia, he was captured by the Great Xia instead.

Damn it!

"I've seen the rules of Dingxin City; they're unbreakable. Outsiders have no idea what happened in Dingxin City. It should be that Great Xia can't react in time. Tell me the details of what you've found out. How was Dawn discovered?"

The news came too suddenly, and the subordinates had little time to gather more information.

"The Dawn Venerable was discovered by the Silent Daoist, the Sect Master of the Ask Dao Sect."

"The Silent Daoist?"

As the head of one of the Five Great Immortal Sects, the Imperial Preceptor had taken notice of the Silent Daoist. This man's whereabouts were mysterious, and the Imperial Preceptor had never been able to figure out his intentions. He was a troublesome cultivator.

"Grand Preceptor?" The subordinate paused when he saw the Grand Preceptor muttering to himself.

"It's nothing, please continue."

"The Silent Daoist, using some unknown method, discovered the anomaly in Dingxin City and entered it alone. Since the Silent Daoist was only at the Body Integration Realm, Venerable Dawn didn't pay much attention to him. For several days in a row, the Silent Daoist simply told stories in the teahouse and did nothing else."

"But somehow, a paper crane flew into the rule-based canopy set up by Venerable Dawn, causing a loophole in the canopy, which gave Daoist Silent an opportunity to take advantage of it."

"The Silent Daoist unleashed his sword technique, splitting open the heavens and cleaving the sky, and engaged in battle with the Dawn Venerable. The two fought fiercely, but the Venerable was ultimately superior and defeated the Silent Daoist. Just as the Venerable was about to kill the Silent Daoist, the Nine Palaces of the Luo River Guard arrived and stopped the Venerable's actions."

"Originally, the Venerable One could have escaped, but unfortunately, there was more than one person who came. There was another Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator, more than thirty Body Integration Realm from the Five Great Immortal Sects, and about ten Body Integration Realm from the imperial court."

The Imperial Advisor sighed, raised his hand to indicate that there was no need to continue; the rest was self-evident.

With a massive number of cultivators attacking, there was no way for Po Xiao to escape; even suicide would be difficult.

The subordinate said indignantly, "If these people hadn't come, His Excellency would definitely have been able to escape!"

The Imperial Advisor shook his head. The matter was far more complex than he had imagined. He calmly analyzed the causes and consequences of the incident.

There are three suspicious points in this matter.

"First, why did the Silent Daoist enter Dingxin City? Was it really a coincidence?"

"Second, how did the paper crane get into the sky and create a hole? Who folded the paper crane, and what was their cultivation level?"

"Third, it just so happens that people from the imperial court and the immortal sects happened to appear in Jizhou. Was it a coincidence or a premeditated act?"

"Think about it carefully, these three points of doubt can be connected."

His subordinates were obsequious and couldn't hold their heads up in front of the Grand Preceptor, but in reality, he was a Body Integration old monster who was a powerful and influential figure in the early days of the Great Yu Dynasty. He was extremely shrewd and quick-witted. He was just shocked by the sudden news, but now, after being reminded by the Grand Preceptor, he has come to his senses.

Following the Imperial Advisor's line of thought, the subordinate analyzed. "Before entering Dingxin City, the Silent Daoist had already discovered the unusual situation there. He contacted the imperial court in advance, instructing them to lie in ambush in the surrounding area. He entered Dingxin City alone to investigate the situation. The two sides also made an agreement that if there was no news within a few days, the people outside the city would break through the sky with paper cranes."

"A few days later, the paper cranes soared into the sky, igniting a great battle!"

The Imperial Advisor nodded. His subordinates were quite clever; they had similar ideas to his. He added a few points.

"The paper crane technique doesn't seem to be something Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivator could use; it must be something a half-immortal could do."

The Imperial Advisor tapped his chair, a hint of relief in his expression. "Back then, there was definitely a half-immortal level person in Dingxin City. One half-immortal, two Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators, and over forty Body Integration Realm —was this lineup meant to capture Dawn? No, they were here to capture me!"

The Imperial Preceptor continued, "I have studied the Silent Daoist and found his behavior to be eccentric, strange, and unpredictable. As the Sect Master, why does he neglect the Ask Dao Sect and instead travel around telling stories? Is this something Integrated Body Realm Cultivator and sect leader would do?"

The subordinate nodded. He was also at the Body Integration Realm and the head of a sect; he would never do such a thing.

"Only after this incident did I understand his purpose!"

"He pretended to travel around telling stories, but actually he was looking for our whereabouts!"

After the Imperial Advisor's explanation, the subordinate suddenly understood; the Imperial Advisor's wisdom was truly beyond his reach.

"So that's how it is!"

"This Silent Daoist, no, not just the Silent Daoist, but the entire Ask Dao Sect, is an obstacle to the restoration of the Great Yu!"

"The Celestial Calamity Venerable was captured by members of the Ask Dao Sect during the grand ceremony in Qingzhou."

"Huang Ming, who was planted in the Corpse Driving Sect, had his identity exposed by the disciples of the Ask Dao Sect Inquiry Sect. His Majesty was forced to act prematurely, the plan failed, and the three of them have been unable to be contacted since!"

"Now the Silent Daoist is searching everywhere for our whereabouts."

"Every step of our plan has been thwarted by the Ask Dao Sect Seeking Sect. Once or twice could be considered a coincidence, but three times in a row indicates that the Ask Dao Sect's fortunes will block the rise of the Great Yu!"

"The Ask Dao Sect has a history of 120,000 years and was founded in my Great Yu Dynasty. Now it is constantly opposing my Great Yu. It truly doesn't know what's good for it!"

"Do you think that by submitting to the imperial court and establishing the so-called Five Great Immortal Sects, you can save your life?!"

The Imperial Advisor's eyes flashed with murderous intent, sending a chill down the spines of his subordinates.

The last time the Imperial Preceptor showed such an expression was 180,000 years ago. At that time, the Imperial Preceptor was in seclusion, and most of the Tribulation Transcendence cultivators were in a deep slumber, awaiting the arrival of a great era.

Six individuals at the Tribulation Transcendence stage seized the opportunity to join forces, harboring great ambitions and plotting treacherous schemes, attempting to overthrow the dynasty.

When six cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence stage joined forces, the heavens and earth trembled. Who could stand against them? They conquered city after city, and the rebel army advanced with unstoppable momentum, triumphantly marching forward until even the imperial city fell.

Just then, the Imperial Preceptor broke through his seclusion and fought against six opponents single-handedly, gaining the upper hand. In the end, he killed all six Tribulation Transcendence stage cultivators and massacred a million rebel soldiers. Blood clouds lingered over the Central Continent for three days.

Is the Imperial Preceptor going to take action against the Ask Dao Sect this time?

The subordinate clenched his fist in excitement; it was time to let the Ask Dao Sect witness the wrath of the Great Yu!

Even six cultivators at the Tribulation Transcendence stage were no match for the Imperial Preceptor. Could a mere Ask Dao Sect withstand the Imperial Preceptor's wrath?

The Imperial Advisor slowly rose, like a sleeping ancient beast awakening, roaring across the heavens and earth, shattering the void, and letting the world witness the beast's terror and grandeur.

His tone was decisive as he ordered his subordinates, "Gather everyone and prepare for action!"

The subordinate looked at the Grand Preceptor excitedly. "Are they going to make a move against the Ask Dao Sect?"

The Imperial Advisor looked at his subordinate as if he were an idiot. "With Dawn captured, the location of this grotto-heaven will definitely be known to the Great Xia, so we naturally need to relocate."

Subordinate. "..."
