Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

"Everyone."

Xiao Yuhui took a deep breath and said, "How the Phoenix Sect treats you and how the Sect Master treats you, I think you should be more aware than I am."

"Today, I am not speaking to you as the Commander of the Regiment of the Divine Guardians of the Dragon Suppression, but as the Sect Master’s Wife of the Phoenix Sect!"

Here, Xiao Yuhui paused and swept her gaze over everyone once again.

Seeing no response, Xiao Yuhui continued, "I know, the Phoenix Sect has over forty million disciples, and the Heavenly Mountain Pavilion has close to eight million disciples. It is very possible that it wasn’t you who leaked the method of creating the safe zones."

"But!"

"You are all strong members of the Phoenix Sect, the lowest among you is a Captain capable of leading a unit of a hundred thousand!"

"Are you unable to even keep watch over your own subordinates?!"

"The method of creating safe zones has been leaked, and now the Phoenix Sect can no longer pose a threat. The entire world is accusing us, cursing the Phoenix Sect, and the Phoenix Sect has become the target of all!"

"Do you think that just because the Sect Master is in seclusion and cannot appear, you can dare to disdain us and act recklessly?!"

Upon hearing this, everyone below trembled and immediately knelt on one knee.

"We dare not!"

"Stand up!"

Xiao Yuhui snorted coldly, "The Sect Master doesn’t need you to kneel, so why would I require such from you? Do you think that by doing this, you can escape your responsibilities?"

She was truly angry.

Not only her, but Yun Qianqian, Luoo Ning, even Nangong Yu and Xiao Yuran, all had expressions of coldness, with frost appearing on their faces.

They were more aware than anyone of the current circumstances of the Phoenix Sect.

Like rats crossing the street, everyone wants to beat them!

Even when going out to procure artifact refining materials, they would be mocked first.

It can be said—

Previously, when Luoo Ning and others procured artifact refining materials, those loose cultivators and small forces would sell to them due to the high prices.

But now, they would sell to them nonetheless, but the people of the Phoenix Sect would have to lower themselves, grin and bear humiliation to buy!

Often, a fake body would be made to collapse by opponents, as an outlet for their anger.

Even so, Phoenix Sect disciples still have to endure and craft a fake body again to continue purchasing...

This is simply a colossal humiliation for the Phoenix Sect!!!

However, if it were only this, that’d be it.

But now everyone has the safe zones, no one needs to rely on the Phoenix Sect anymore.

This causes those forces, even those loose cultivators, to truly harbor killing intent towards the Phoenix Sect!

Xiao Yuhui and the others have no doubt, if a true body of a Phoenix Sect disciple appears now, as long as other forces see them, they would certainly pursue and kill!

The strength of the Phoenix Sect is indeed very formidable.

From the perspective of individual forces, regardless of the Heavenly Emperor Realm or Sub-Immortal Level powerhouses, the Phoenix Sect does not fear any sect, even the Three Teachings!

But the current situation is not as simple as one-on-one.

All forces have formed into an invisible alliance, collaborating against the Phoenix Sect!

No matter how strong the Phoenix Sect is, it is not stronger than the Four Great Dao Academies, nor stronger than the Starry Alliance, lacking the capital to completely suppress these forces!

Perhaps the Divine Dream Sect will not deal with the Phoenix Sect.

But what difference does it make to have more or less of the Divine Dream Sect?

The Divine Dao Religion will absolutely not let the Phoenix Sect off because of the Holy Pill Emperor!

They still clearly remember the spirit crystals extorted by the Phoenix Sect back then.

The reason why these forces have united against the Phoenix Sect also includes a very important reason, which is...

Kunpeng Sacred Body, and the hidden treasure of the Phoenix Sect!

The effect of the Kunpeng Sacred Body under these circumstances is incredibly terrifying.

Even a sect might quickly rise in these chaotic times by relying on this item!

Like Xuanyuan Qiong and others, isn’t it the same?

Without the Kunpeng Sacred Body, how could they cultivate with blood crystals, reaching the Heavenly Emperor Realm?

Even the Three Teachings covet such cultivation techniques.

As for the Phoenix Sect’s hidden treasure, anyone would know it’s undoubtedly a Supreme Treasure.

If even Sub-Immortal Level powerhouses cannot sense it, how could it be anything less?

If one were to obtain such a Supreme Treasure, even if the safe zones become useless against the Extraterritorial Demons, they might still survive using this Supreme Treasure!

...

"People often say, with the Sect Master as the soul, and the Phoenix Sect as the faith."

Xiao Yuhui stood up slowly, "Now, I truly understand, a soul is just such a soul, and faith is merely such a faith!"

Seeing Xiao Yuhui’s look of fury, Lian Yuze hesitated for a moment, but couldn’t help saying, "Madam, before the Sect Master went into seclusion, the Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor of the Qing Emperor Sect once sought him out, claiming to want to meet Lin Fengjie."

"Hmm?"

Xiao Yuhui frowned, "Why did you not speak of this earlier? And why didn’t you stop the Sect Master?!"

"Subordinate believed the Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor merely wished to see Lin Fengjie, after all, Lin Fengjie is his biological son, so I didn’t intervene."

"Furthermore..."

Lian Yuze pressed his lips lightly and continued, "With the Sect Master’s disposition, even if I wanted to stop him, I couldn’t!"

"Immediately go summon Lin Fengjie for me!" Xiao Yuhui demanded.

"Understood."

Someone below responded, preparing to leave at once.

After meeting the Illusion Clear Ancestor Emperor, Lin Fengjie returned long ago, since his mother was still in the Phoenix Sect.

As the high ranks of the Phoenix Sect were about to leave the hall, Xiao Yuhui suddenly said, "Wait!"

"Please, Madam, give your instructions."

Xiao Yuhui pondered for a bit and said, "Lin Fengjie is ultimately the Sect Master’s friend. If he really did it, the Sect Master will handle it, so you need not go for now."

"Understood."

Once the high ranks returned to their original positions, Xiao Yuhui continued, "Everyone, regardless of whether it was Lin Fengjie who leaked it, I still hope you remember one thing."

"The Sect Master has never treated you as servants, even when spirit crystals were insufficient and everyone couldn’t cultivate, the Sect Master allocated the remaining spirit crystals based on each person’s cultivation base."

"As humans, do not forget your roots, nor should you forget gratitude."

"After returning, thoroughly investigate, if there are people who are closely in contact with those other forces, ensure you find out what they’re truly doing."

"If indeed... they dare betray the Phoenix Sect, immediately hand them over to the Hall of Punishment for severe punishment, do not spare them!"

"Yes!!!"

"All may leave..."

Xiao Yuhui waved her hand, and once everyone had completely departed, she sat back in her place, rubbing her forehead.

"How was the method of creating safe zones exposed?"

"How can there be so many people with that constitution?"

"It’s truly despicable..."
