The pressure of the Great Sun Immortal-Mortal Sword Soul engulfed heaven and earth!
At that moment, cause and effect, time, thought, rules—everything here froze. Even a group of Celestials would have found their minds blank and lost all power to resist.
Yet Divine Mechanism, Myriad Mechanisms, Sun Slayer, and the others remained conscious, entirely unaffected.
They felt a chill of dread.
A coup?
Was this a coup?
The oath-taking ceremony for the interim head of the Immortal Sect Administration had been interrupted. That was enough to raise the specter of a coup!
For a moment, disbelief, terror, killing intent, and madness surged through the minds of the Immortal Sect's many mighty cultivators. Under the cold gaze of the Central Array-Spirit Computer, the Immortal Sect's entire arsenal of forbidden nuclear weapons, the Solar System Grand Array, the Solar True-Fire Shield, and its many deep-space fleets began moving in orderly fashion.
Past achievements could not justify what happened today!
Immortal Sect Citizens had the confidence, resolve, and will to resist any invading enemy, whether that enemy came from outside or was a being from within their own ranks!
To that end, they would pay any price—even if the entire Solar System was smashed apart, countless people died on their homeworld, and they had to fight another war of extinction like the one against the Great Sun Sword Pavilion.
That was the will of the Immortal Sect Citizens!
A moment ago, Divine Mechanism had been wavering under the crushing pressure. In an instant, he turned iron-blooded and cold. Born and raised in an age of war, the commander of the Immortal Sect Fleet swiftly entered a state of icy reason and took control of everything.
Even if the citizens' Immortal Sect was defeated, the enemy would have to suffer the greatest possible losses!
