The Qianyuan Sect Master's Decree

As expected, the other party expressed surprise upon seeing the puppet of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Yet there was no fear on his face; instead, he looked at the mountain of puppets from the Azure Cloud Sect as if appreciating art.

For Grand Elder Sun, who was in the Mahayana Realm, the puppets below were pleasing to the eye but served no other purpose.

Although he was amazed by the exquisite craftsmanship of the Puppet Technique.

But his hands moved without the slightest hesitation.

He then clapped his hands downwards repeatedly.

The defensive array composed of puppets was constantly being attacked and roared by him.

In the old woman's perception, the puppets covering the mountains and fields were breaking apart in large swathes.

The large formation they formed also appeared to be becoming increasingly unstable.

The old woman, her face filled with despair, understood that time was running out for the Azure Cloud Sect.

He then made another hand Method Formula, and at the same time, the main hall in the forbidden area of the Azure Cloud Sect where the puppets were stored suddenly shook.

Then, the entire hall actually flew into the air and landed steadily on the square in front of the main hall of the Azure Cloud Sect.

With the appearance of this grand hall, the already crumbling defensive array began to slowly strengthen.

In the face of several attacks from the enemy, not a single puppet fell again.

Seeing this situation, a glimmer of hope ignited in the hearts of Supreme Elder Li and Xiao Anhe.

But the old lady's words plunged their hopes into despair once again. "Once the great formation breaks, you will all leave separately! From now on, never let anyone know that you are disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect!"

"What... why is this, Your Majesty? Isn't the current formation supposed to block their attack?"

However, Supreme Elder Li nodded and said, "Even if we can keep blocking their attacks, so what? If we can't launch an effective counterattack, then we have no chance of winning!"

"Can..."

Xiao Anhe wanted to say something, but was interrupted by the old lady, "Anhe! I know your and Li boy's talents well, and you both know the situation of the Azure Cloud Sect!"

"Although we have some resentment towards that kid from Longcheng, upon closer reflection, his departure wasn't a mistake! The Azure Cloud Sect is too small; it has become a shackle for you Nascent Soul!"

Xiao Anhe and Supreme Elder Li both understood this, but neither of them were the type to blindly follow whoever offered the best treatment. Therefore, after advancing to the Nascent Soul, they did not do the same thing as Chu Longcheng had done before.

Now, facing the life-or-death crisis of the Azure Cloud Sect, the old matriarch has taken the initiative to say these things, and the meaning is quite clear.

That is, they hope that the two will not cling to the Azure Cloud Sect. As long as they can escape safely, with their talents, they can find a top-tier power and their future will surely be bright.

"Alright, I believe you all understand what the old man means! This puppet hall is about to collapse. Once the formation breaks, you will all lead your disciples and leave!"

After saying that, the old woman actually slapped each of them on the back.

The two, completely unprepared, were shoved into the crowd of disciples.

The old woman on the high platform addressed the numerous disciples below. "Disciples of the Azure Cloud Sect, listen to my command! From this day forward, the Azure Cloud Sect is hereby disbanded. You are no longer permitted to refer to yourselves as members of the Azure Cloud Sect! The Azure Cloud Sect is hereby erased from the Southern Frontier, and you are no longer required to avenge the Azure Cloud Sect!"

Upon hearing the old woman's words, many of the people below burst into tears.

They naturally understood the meaning behind the old lady's orders.

Meanwhile, Grand Elder Sun of the Mystic Snow Pavilion outside naturally heard the old elder's words and nodded, saying to the sect leader of the Mystic Snow Pavilion, "Indeed, the elder of the Azure Cloud Sect is a wise man! After the formation breaks, anyone who doesn't resist can be spared! But remember, none above the Golden Core will be spared! My grandson's life must be paid for!"

Having said that, he didn't lessen his attacks at all.

"Boom!"

The puppet palace, summoned by the old lady, finally gave way and collapsed with a crash.

Immediately afterwards, the puppets covering the entire mountainside began to shatter once again.

The defensive array began to shake once again.

Just as the old lady sensed that the great formation had reached its limit, a golden light suddenly shone in the sky, and at the same time, a voice entered everyone's ears.

"The decree from the Sect Master of the Qianyuan Sect has arrived!"

Grand Elder Sun never expected that his attack on a second-rate sect would alarm the behemoth that is the Qianyuan Sect.

Don't be fooled by the fact that Chu Longcheng, the top expert in the Southern Frontier of the Qianyuan Sect, had already ascended to immortality a year ago.

However, Qianyuan Sect's position in the Southern Frontier remained unaffected in the slightest.

Even though this Grand Elder Sun was a Peak Mahayana Realm expert, he dared not show the slightest disrespect when facing the decree of the Qianyuan Sect Master. He could only stop attacking and wait for the decree to be read.

"By the decree of the Qianyuan Sect Master! The Azure Cloud Sect has a past relationship with my former Supreme Lord Chu Longcheng, therefore their crime does not warrant the extermination of the entire sect!"

"Finished?"

Grand Elder Sun looked at the person reading the imperial decree and asked.

"It's over!"

"What is this? Is the Qianyuan Sect trying to protect the Azure Cloud Sect?"

The disciple from the Qianyuan Sect shook his head at Grand Elder Sun and said, "It seems this fellow Daoist did not hear my decree clearly. The sect leader's decree is that the Azure Cloud Sect must not be wiped out! The Azure Cloud Sect has a past relationship with our sect's Supreme Elder Chu, therefore my sect leader does not wish to see their lineage disappear! As for other matters, my sect leader will not concern himself with them!"

At this moment, Grand Elder Sun understood the other party's meaning: as long as the lineage of the Azure Cloud Sect was preserved, the rest of the Qianyuan Sect was not important.

Out of reverence for the Qianyuan Sect, Grand Elder Sun cautiously looked at the Nascent Soul Cultivator before him and asked, "Fellow Daoist, you see, the Azure Cloud Sect killed my grandson, and I am avenging him! But I am worried that I have gone too far and displeased your sect leader. I wonder what I should do?"

Because he was backed by the Qianyuan Sect, even though he was just a Nascent Soul Cultivator, he was able to gain the respect of the Mahayana Realm expert.

After a moment's thought, the man smiled and said, "Senior is too kind. I'm merely here to convey the sect leader's message; how could I possibly interfere with your actions? However, since you've asked, I do have a somewhat immature idea!"

"I humbly request your guidance, fellow Daoist!"

"Senior, why not just eliminate the ringleaders and take out the three elders of the Azure Cloud Sect? Without their top experts, the Azure Cloud Sect will become utterly worthless! This way, not only will your anger be appeased, but the Azure Cloud Sect's lineage will also be preserved, and I can then report back to the sect with a clear conscience!"

Grand Elder Sun was not very satisfied with the advice given.

But now that the Qianyuan Sect had intervened, he was indeed in a difficult position, and in the end he could only nod and indicate that he accepted their suggestion.

"Listen up, Azure Cloud Sect! Since Qianyuan Sect has spoken, if your three Supreme Elders immediately commit suicide and compensate me with five thousand top-grade Supreme-Grade Spirit Stone, I guarantee I'll leave with my men right away! From now on, all grudges between our two sects will be wiped clean!"
