Chen Xiao's words were not without basis. The Mystic Eagle Sect was indeed a bandit sect that wantonly intercepted and slaughtered passing cultivators, even immortals. Many surrounding cultivator cities had been ravaged by them.
However, the Mystic Eagle Sect was, after all, a stronghold of the Nangong Clan, and they operated with extreme secrecy. Although many surrounding forces knew of a vicious band of robbers operating there, no one knew that this band of robbers belonged to the Mystic Eagle Sect.
Within a radius of ten thousand miles, Daiyue City is the only immortal city and the most powerful force. With the Daiyue City turning a blind eye, who would bother pursuing such things?
Chen Xiao knew the reason for this: in his past life, when his cultivation had reached a minor level and he returned to the Xuhe Realm, he was robbed by this group of bandits. He escaped only thanks to the Flowing Light Flying Moon Talisman. However, Chen Xiao had always been someone who sought revenge. After escaping, he followed the bandits to Mystic Eagle Mountain, set a huge fire within the Mystic Eagle Sect, and then leisurely left.
Now Chen Xiao finally understood why Daiyue City hadn't pursued the bandits—it turned out the two groups were actually in cahoots.
As for why a subordinate of the prestigious Nangong Clan would resort to banditry, Chen Xiao had no idea.
...?
"Brother Chen Xiao, isn't this a bit too much of an abuse of power?"
Wu Wo coughed and said, somewhat dumbfounded.
"Hehe, Brother Wu Wo worry, this is absolutely not an abuse of power. I, Chen Xiao, can guarantee with my life that the Mystic Eagle Sect is definitely a notorious bandit group that plagues the region."
Chen Xiao chuckled and continued, "However, we must consider this matter carefully. After all, words are fine, but we not only need to involve the Loose Immortal from various major forces, but also mobilize all cultivators or immortal forces within a radius of ten thousand miles."
"Brother Chen Xiao, this matter is of utmost importance," Wu Wo said very seriously. "Although the power of the Glazed Heaven Palace is great, it cannot be abused. Otherwise, I, a mere Loose Immortal immortal, cannot bear the punishment from the Glazed Heaven Palace."
"Is it unacceptable to abuse it?"
Chen Xiao shook his head. "Isn't the Nangong Clan abusing their power? What we lack is simply the strength to break the rules. But Brother Wu Wo, you can rest assured, I will plan this matter thoroughly."
"Um."?
Wu Wo nodded solemnly.
...?
A few days later, the various powerful forces in Daiyue City, who had already turned their backs on the government, knew the whereabouts of the Nangong Clan.
The locations of Fallen Leaf City, Yuluo Valley, and Mystic Eagle Mountain have already been discovered by various powerful forces.
However, the current situation is clearly a result of the Nangong Clan's own actions. If they choose to attack these three locations at this time, they will be directly confronting the Nangong Clan.
Those who could get here were all seasoned veterans, their every eyelash gleaned from experience. Therefore, at this moment, they all chose silence, refraining from making any rash moves.
At this time, the Blue Family was also making every effort to reorganize Daiyue City, even carrying out a major purge of the entire city. Almost all the spies planted by the Situ Family were pulled out by the combined efforts of numerous other Lineage.
In the past few days, Daiyue City has been awash in blood.
With Wu Wo and Liang Shang's words, the Blue Family and others spared no expense, completely offending the Nangong Clan and siding with the Chen Clan.
For them, stabbing once was offending, stabbing twice was also offending; either way, they were doomed. So they might as well go all the way and demonstrate their loyalty to the Mo and Wang families.
Of course, at this time, all the teleportation arrays in Daiyue City were closed, the pretext being that they had been damaged by the Situ Family and needed to be repaired. Chen Xiao, Chen Tiannan, and the others also used this excuse to stay in Daiyue City.
On the seventh day, the seventh day after the Situ Family was driven out of Daiyue City, a dozen heavily injured cultivators rushed in from outside the city and stormed the Blue Family's gate.
At this time, the entire City Lord's Mansion in Daiyue City had been completely destroyed, and the Blue Family had not immediately assumed the position of city lord, clearly waiting for Chen Xiao to speak.
"My lord! The lords of the Blue Family, please do us justice!"
Those dozen or so cultivators were clearly from the same cultivation sect. At this moment, they were all severely injured, some even with their Nascent Soul shattered, and they were on the verge of death.
They arrived at the Lan residence, wailing and crying for their parents.
"So they're from the Limitless Sect? What happened? How did they end up like this?"
Upon hearing the shouts, Lan Fengxue, the resident of the Blue Family, arrived at the scene immediately. He instantly used his High Immortal power to personally heal the injuries of these cultivators in full view of everyone.
This is a great opportunity to win over the people, after all, he is the designated next city lord of Daiyue City.
"My lord, you must avenge us! Those bandits roaming around Daiyue City have begun to run rampant again, harming cultivators who come and go!"
A slightly overweight middle-aged man, tears and snot streaming down his face, cried out loudly, "This time, our Limitless Sect heard that the Blue Family had driven the scourge Situ Family out of Waiting Daiyue City, doing a great service to the cultivators under our Daiyue City's rule. So we brought our disciples and gifts to pay our respects, but we never expected to encounter that band of bandits! Our elite disciples have all been killed or wounded!"
The middle-aged man's voice, like that of a pig being slaughtered, instantly echoed throughout a large part of Daiyue City. Upon hearing it, some cultivators in Daiyue City perked up their ears.
The bandits near Daiyue City have long been a major threat to the area, causing great harm to cultivators traveling to Daiyue City. However, these bandits have always been powerful and elusive, making it impossible for others to track them down.
The Situ Family of Daiyue City, occasionally dispatched a few law enforcement immortals to investigate, but to no avail. Everyone could see that the Situ Family was clearly turning a blind eye to the bandits.
This is precisely why the cultivators near Daiyue City harbored considerable resentment towards the Situ Family.
No one expected that the Blue Family, having just expelled the Situ Family from Daiyue City, would immediately face this problem.
Upon hearing this news, all the cultivators and immortals of Daiyue City focused their attention on Lan Fengxue. Currently, the Blue Family has just finished a fierce battle with the Situ Family, suffering heavy losses. At this juncture, sending them to deal with that group of bandits would likely be difficult.
Moreover, in the eyes of the cultivators and immortals in Daiyue City, the Situ Family's original reluctance to provoke the bandits was clearly due to their fear of the bandits' formidable strength, which is why they consistently yielded.
If Lan Fengxue were to utter even a perfunctory word now, the morale of the people in Daiyue City would likely crumble.
"How dare they! The Blue Family has always disapproved of those bandits, but we were unable to deal with them due to the constraints imposed by the Situ Family. Now that the Blue Family is stationed in Daiyue City, how could we allow them to continue their rampage?"
Lan Fengxue shouted angrily, " Limitless Sect, do you know where those people are now?"
"My lord, those people were repelled by the self-destruction of several Supreme Elders of my Limitless Sect, and their whereabouts are currently unknown."
The Limitless Sect Master spoke up, saying, "However, our Limitless Sect's Grand Elder risked his life to sever one of their arms before discovering the true origins of those people!"
As he spoke, the Limitless Sect retrieved a thick arm from his Storage Ring. On that arm was clearly tattooed a majestic eagle soaring with outstretched wings.
The symbol of the Mystic Eagle Sect.
Lan Fengxue took the arm, examined it carefully, then took a deep breath and said, " Limitless Sect, can you take responsibility for what you said today?"
" The Limitless Sect swears to the heavens that the Mystic Eagle Sect is the leader of that band of bandits. If there is even the slightest falsehood, Limitless Sect be struck by lightning and reduced to ashes!"
The Limitless Sect Master shouted loudly.
Boom!?
As the Limitless Sect Master spoke, a crimson bolt of lightning streaked across the sky, causing the entire Daiyue City to tremble slightly.
"Good!"?
Lan Fengxue roared, " Mystic Eagle Sect, it was you who have been ravaging my Daiyue City, harming fellow Daoists and committing all sorts of evil deeds! Today, I, Lan Fengxue, will act on behalf of Heaven and annihilate you all!"
Hearing Lan Fengxue's words, the emotions of everyone in Daiyue City were ignited. In Daiyue City, who hadn't suffered at the hands of that band of bandits? Many even had family members or followers killed by them.
Now that they heard that the Limitless Sect had obtained the details of that group at the cost of their lives, how could they tolerate it? They all clamored to raze the Mystic Eagle Sect to the ground.
As for the people from the various powerful forces within the city of Glazed Heaven, they took a deep breath, secretly marveling at how impressive it was.
So, the Mo and Wang families had been waiting for this very moment before making a move against the Nangong Clan!
In their eyes, the Mo Family and Wang Family were the ones constantly exposing the Nangong Clan's past misdeeds and making trouble for them.
However, they also saw an opportunity to act; this was clearly a pretext created by the Mo Family and Wang Family to provoke the major Aristocratic Clan into making their move.
" The Mystic Eagle Sect, though a sect within the Glazed Heaven, has secretly committed countless evil deeds, harming the Glazed Heaven. Everyone has the right to eliminate them. Now, the Seven Wu Wo Generals of the Glazed Heaven Palace, acting in the name of the Glazed Heaven Palace, issue a summons, gathering all righteous individuals of Glazed Heaven to jointly eradicate the Mystic Eagle Sect."
Wu Wo's voice echoed from the Lan residence, and then he stepped out, holding a token in his hand—his Immortal General's Token.
"Those who are willing to join this battle will surely be rewarded by the Glazed Heaven Palace."
As soon as Wu Wo finished speaking, the entire Daiyue City erupted in excitement.
This is a mission issued by a celestial official of the Glazed Heaven Palace. Regardless of its purpose, once completed, it will bring rewards from the Glazed Heaven Palace Glazed Heaven Palace, and may even earn their recognition and allow the individual to join the palace!
...?
It's time for the second watch... eh...?
