"Half a Celestial Sect?"
Upon hearing this, the Nine Dao Holy Lord, whose gaze was sharp and piercing, raised an eyebrow and couldn't help but ask, "When did he acquire this relationship?"
"Liu Ze's mother is now a high-ranking elder in the Immortal Sect, and her cultivation level is Half-step Sun-Moon Realm."
The Song family Old Ancestor explained with a smile, "It's just because of some past events that I harbor many grievances against Palace Master Liu, so I haven't made a big fuss about it in the past, and I even avoid certain grand banquets."
"And her older sister is none other than Elder Qingluan from the Immortal Sect."
"I see." Everyone looked enlightened, and the Nine Dao Holy Lord nodded slightly.
Liu Ze did not show much respect to him, the lord of the holy land, but the latter always thought it was because his father was a powerful being at the Sun Moon Realm.
As the beloved only son of Martial Dao Great Expert, it's understandable that he's a bit arrogant.
As for the relationship with the Immortal Sect... that's really the first time I've heard of it.
No wonder he could become a candidate for the Palace Master of the Universe Treasure Hall even though he only had the cultivation of the Hegemony Realm.
Unfortunately, these so-called identities are useless against a rogue cultivator from beyond the realm.
That rogue cultivator will also have to pay the price with his life for his actions.
"It seems you all understand the intricacies of this matter."
The Song family Old Ancestor's gaze swept over everyone, his fingers clasped in front of him. "Then I will get straight to the point. The reason I invited you all here is to resolve this matter in the shortest possible time."
"Everyone here has a solid family background; we can't act as freely as that rogue cultivator of unknown origin."
"If he were to destroy even a fraction of the sect's core strengths before his death, it would be a terrible loss."
"Of course." The Purple-haired Woman covered her mouth and laughed, appearing quite relaxed. "However, it was a bit too hasty."
"The news of the Golden Pursuit Order has already spread. If he dares to show himself in front of the general public, we will immediately receive relevant information."
As she spoke, she looked at the Song family Old Ancestor in the main seat, her smile growing even brighter, "Of course, even if he doesn't reveal himself, once Palace Master Liu deduces his exact whereabouts, he will still face certain death."
The Song family Old Ancestor nodded slightly, replying with satisfaction, "Indeed."
The dust is about to settle.
The remaining two Sect Leader finally snorted coldly, "He's turned the Western Region into a chaotic mess; we absolutely cannot let him get away with this!"
"Indeed, this encirclement and suppression is inevitable, and it will also make those rogue cultivators realize the weight of the Western Region aristocratic families."
For these Half-step Great Power who had made a living in the Western Region, gaining immense prestige was an extremely valuable achievement.
After all, as long as things here can proceed smoothly.
The independent cultivators throughout the Western Region will likely remain peaceful for at least a hundred years, and they will no longer dare to compete with the scions of aristocratic families for cultivation resources.
Thinking of this, everyone smiled slightly.
"Everyone, there's no need to be anxious. Although it's unlikely that he'll show himself on his own, fortunately, Palace Master Liu has already arrived inside the Immortal Sect, and news should arrive in the next couple of days."
The Song family Old Ancestor tapped the table lightly, his voice tinged with amusement. "I hope you gentlemen will stay in Sky Dragon City for a couple of days, after which we can begin this encirclement and suppression operation."
Everything is ready, except for the east wind.
With the fighting force they have gathered so far, even if that rogue cultivator named Ye Li leaves the Western Region immediately, he will never be able to escape this trap set for him. Moreover, every single person targeted by Elder Qingluan of the Immortal Sect is still alive and well!
"No problem."
The four Half-step Great Power, their voices rising at the end, clearly indicating they were in good spirits.
Unlike the tragic loss of the Palace Master Liu, who successively lost his only son and his successor.
Whether it's a Personal Disciple at the early stage of the Mountain Sea Realm or a candidate Saint Son at the middle stage of the Mountain and Mountain Sea Realm, it's not a big problem for them or their Mountain Gate. At most, it's just a bit of heartache. Under normal circumstances, it would never be worth offending someone of the same level.
Now, however, they are able to systematically and effectively besiege an opponent of the same level.
Even for them, this was an extremely rare and precious opportunity!
However, at that moment...
A thunderous sound suddenly erupted outside the Council Hall!
Boom!!
The thunder came suddenly, yet it was deafening and had a powerful aftereffect. The sounds of countless buildings collapsing were mixed in with it, making it all the more terrifying!
Inside the Song family's main residence, everyone with cultivation subconsciously looked up.
Immediately afterwards, their pupils contracted to an extreme point—
Alas!
The already gloomy sky grew even more oppressive, and white light danced in the clouds, illuminating a flowing, unrestrained purple Daoist Robe!
His fair and handsome face was calm, and his clear black eyes revealed no emotion whatsoever.
All eyes are on us!
Even before it had fully unleashed its power, the magnificent buildings within Sky Dragon City were still collapsing under a heavy, inexplicable pressure!
Judging from his face, isn't that Ye Li, the rogue cultivator who made it onto the Western Region' Golden Hunt List?!
The hearts of tens of thousands of Song family members suddenly began to race, and their bodies trembled.
Why would he come to the Song family in Sky Dragon City?!
How dare he come to the Song family in Sky Dragon City?!
At this very moment, if they didn't know that their Old Ancestor was currently discussing matters inside that magnificent building, the many members of the Song family would probably have descended into chaos on the spot!
Even so, a considerable number of Song family warriors were still taking emergency evacuation within the city.
They were not direct disciples and could not obtain the protection of their family, so they had no choice but to desperately flee out of the city.
But it's unclear whether it was psychological or due to unusual phenomena.
The distant sky appeared extremely dim in the field of vision, as if this world had been completely sealed off, silently transforming into a vast and boundless cage!
In the blink of an eye.
Outside the Council Hall, numerous armored guards, filled with fear, strode out shouting, "How dare you! Trespassing..."
Boom!!--
However, before they could finish speaking, their bodies were suddenly struck by an invisible shockwave. Before their forward steps could even land, they all exploded into streams of blood and then vanished without a trace!
Immediately afterwards, the dome of the Council Hall was violently and directly ripped off!
"Ye Li..."
The expressions of the seated individuals changed drastically as they all looked at the Purple-robed Daoist in the air, their eyes filled with surprise.
There wasn't much panic.
Although the other party dared to come here alone, they must have some confidence in their abilities.
If the Song family were still the same Song family as two days ago, with only one Old Ancestor at the Half-step Sun-Moon Realm.
Today's situation might indeed unfold as this rogue cultivator predicted: after causing widespread destruction, he would leave unscathed.
But unfortunately...
The Song family is now a completely different force, and there are currently five Half-step Sun-Moon Realm experts guarding this place!
