The domineering Yu Yue, the tension is high

Yu Yue's explosive words stunned everyone, catching them off guard.

Although everyone knew that Yaochi Holy Land would certainly not be appeased and that the Palace Master of Yaochi would devise various methods to protest, no one expected her rebuttal to be so straightforward and unadorned, a return to simplicity.

“What a fierce woman, Sect Master, you are indeed wise and mighty.”

An Elder of the Great Firmament Sword Sect, standing beside the Sect Master, transmitted his voice.

No wonder they said not to provoke women; who would have thought she would completely disregard Face?

The Sect Master of the Great Firmament Sword Sect also didn't expect this woman to be even more formidable than he had imagined. Indeed, women are the most untouchable.

Some factions that had no intention of getting involved remained silent, observing their noses and hearts.

They tacitly understood that this meeting was because the Sacred Academy felt that Yaochi Immortal Palace's military contributions were too high, and they wanted to reduce its quota.

Essentially, it was the Sacred Academy, allied with its supporters, pressuring Yaochi Immortal Palace.

The Sect Master of Li Huo Immortal Sect, seeing Yu Yue completely disregard Face, was surprised. He looked at Zhu Tong and found no sign of him speaking.

If the Sacred Academy found it difficult to speak, then Li Huo Immortal Sect, as the Sacred Academy's vanguard, had to be the mouthpiece.

Then, Huang Chiyan, the Sect Master of Li Huo Immortal Sect, stepped forward and, in the guise of a neutral party, said:

“Palace Master of Yaochi, you are too presumptuous. This is a place for discussing the prosperity and development of the Eternal Immortal Domain. How can you act like a shrew cursing in the street?!”

“We are here to find a solution…”

Yu Yue's beautiful eyes narrowed, her gaze incredibly cold.

“Who are you calling a shrew?”

“What are you, that you dare to speak to me? Slap him!”

Yu Yue seemed to be an Incarnation of destiny; the words she uttered were like eternal rules of the heavens and earth, not to be defied.

She merely raised her jade-like hand and waved it gently, and an invisible large hand floated out, precisely flying towards the Face of the Sect Master of Li Huo Immortal Sect.

The Sect Master of Li Huo Immortal Sect didn't expect Yu Yue to directly make a move, but he was no pushover either. He adopted a defensive posture, and a layer of light enveloped him.

However, the invisible large hand ignored the light barrier and directly struck his Face.

Slap!

Though nothing was visible, the entire Face of the Sect Master of Li Huo Immortal Sect seemed to be subjected to immense force, becoming flattened, and then his entire head twisted.

His eyes showed shock, and pain pierced his nerves, leaving him dumbfounded.

A front tooth flew out of his mouth, carrying traces of blood, and he spun like a top from the slap, breaking through the light barrier.

And under everyone's astonished gaze, he floated directly up and crashed heavily to the ground, his entire right Face flattened with no sign of recovery.

Everyone present was dumbfounded.

Ah?

They privately transmitted messages, discussing animatedly.

“Ah? He couldn't even block one slap?”

“I feel like she didn't even use much force; it was just a casual wave.”

“No, that wasn't a casual wave. She achieved true 'words follow the Dao,' the kind that even a Grand Unity Golden Immortal cannot evade.”

“An ordinary Cultivator's 'words follow the Dao' mostly borrows the power of heaven, but her 'words follow the Dao' is as if she is the Incarnation of destiny itself, not on the same level at all.”

At this moment, they seemed to understand why this Palace Master of Yaochi Immortal Palace could beat Demonic Blood Emperor until he dared not retaliate, fleeing desperately.

Yu Yue said coldly: “The first time is a warning. If there's a second time, I will annihilate your entire sect, leaving no one, of the kind that will never be reincarnated.”

That bone-chilling coldness made everyone tremble. What a terrifying woman.

“Who else among you, like him, intends to go back on their word? Step forward, and I will settle accounts with each and every one of you.”

Yu Yue said indifferently, as if she truly would unleash a massacre.

No one dared to speak. Stepping forward now would be courting death, wouldn't it?

The Sect Master of Li Huo Immortal Sect was seething with anger but dared not act. What if this woman truly followed through, wouldn't they all die?

He looked at Zhu Tong, hoping he would step forward.

Anyone with eyes could see that the Sect Master of Li Huo Immortal Sect was Dean Zhu's lackey. Such a blatant disregard for Face, who knew how Dean Zhu would react?

The smile on Zhu Tong's Face vanished, replaced by a blank expression.

He said coldly:

“Palace Master of Yaochi, what a grand display you put on. This is a place for discussion, yet you act on impulse. Do you have any regard for my Sacred Academy?”

“Or do you only care about your own interests, disregarding the well-being of all living beings in my Eternal Immortal Domain? This is selfishness and a complete lack of responsibility as a leader of the Immortal Dao.”

“As the leader of the Righteous Path, you should understand how to benefit all beings. Could it be that your resistance against the Demon Race was only for these quotas?”

Pressuring with authority, pressuring with righteousness—Zhu Tong understood how to coerce.

If it were a traditional protagonist, they would indeed have been led astray by Zhu Tong's words.

But who was Yu Yue? Someone who followed Xiao Fan, only considering Xiao Fan's interests, never speaking of righteousness with you.

“Wow, your Sacred Academy is so responsible. Why don't I see Dean Zhu taking action against the Demon Race?”

“When the Immortal Domain's borders were in crisis, where were you, Dean Zhu Tong, that pig-headed Dean?”

“You didn't contribute to planting the tree, but when the peaches are ripe, you're the first to come pick them. What are you? I give you Face, and you actually think you're someone important?”

“I won't pretend with you; I don't have as many hypocritical facades as you. Righteousness, the well-being of all beings—why don't you go look at yourself in a puddle of your own urine? Are you worthy of saying such words?”

After saying this, her indifferent beautiful eyes swept across the entire hall, and she spoke:

“I won't pretend with you anymore. Whoever supports Zhu Tong, step forward, and I will settle accounts with each and every one of you.”

“If I can't wipe out your entire family, then my Yaochi Immortal Palace loses.”

These domineering words sent shivers down countless spines. Those who had originally intended to stand up and support the Sacred Academy also remained silent, fearing to provoke her.

This was the Palace Master of Yaochi who had beaten Demonic Blood Emperor into a frantic retreat. She wasn't just talking; she truly had the ability to annihilate an entire family.

Who was Demonic Blood Emperor? A Prodigy of the Demon Race who gained fame in his youth, renowned among the Demon Race. In the Eternal Immortal Domain, perhaps only Dean Zhu, who had never made a move, could contend with him.

Arrogant, too arrogant!

Zhu Tong's Face darkened, his complexion as black as a pig's liver.

“We are reasoning with you, yet you are nothing but threats and insults. Do you have any regard for my Sacred Academy?!”

“Or do you think that the Fellow Daoist from the many factions present here are weak and easily bullied, to be manipulated by you?”

Here it comes again, either righteousness or leveraging power.

However, in the Face of absolute power, no amount of public opinion would be effective.

“What are you, even calling yourself the Sacred Academy? I didn't come here to obey your resolutions. I came here only to tell you that I never intended to abide by your resolutions.”

After speaking, Yu Yue turned to the Sect Master of Li Huo who had just spoken and said:

“See? This is what happens when you're a lackey. Your master won't even stand up for you, and you've also provoked me. Just you wait.”

“I will make your Li Huo Immortal Sect understand the consequences of offending my Yaochi Immortal Palace.”

Threats, naked threats.

Those who had originally intended to stand up and support the Sacred Academy, not one of them dared to speak. To sacrifice their faction's life for a few quotas—life was more important.

As a result, apart from Li Huo Immortal Sect, no one dared to voice support for the Sacred Academy or Zhu Tong's proposal.

If no one supported him, how could he pass it?

If he couldn't pass it, how could he revise it?

The scene fell into an eerie silence. Zhu Tong was waiting for his supporters to step forward, but now, they were all thoroughly intimidated by Yu Yue, not daring to speak.

Zhu Tong's hand beneath his long sleeve clenched into a fist. His surface remained calm, but his heart was already raging with fury.

Since he became the Dean of the Sacred Academy, no one had ever dared to disregard his Face.

Never!

His Face had been publicly denied today. If he didn't regain it, who would listen to him in the future? What would become of the Sacred Academy's authority?

Zhu Tong said coldly: “It seems Palace Master of Yaochi has no intention of reasoning.”

Yu Yue said sarcastically: “Weren't you the one who went back on your word and stopped reasoning first?”

Everyone understood tacitly, but no one dared to say it aloud. At this moment, they felt this woman was utterly fierce.

Xiao Fan also looked at Yu Yue as if seeing her for the first time; she exuded a queenly aura. Loved it, good, surpassed!

“You are disrupting the order of the meeting. I, in the name of the Sacred Academy, will sanction you. Do you have any objections?”

Zhu Tong said coldly, a profound sacred might emanating from his body, from within to without. An invisible ripple spread, barely perceptible.

But everyone's hearts trembled. What kind of strength was this? Why, just standing there, did they feel a bone-chilling coldness?

Many of them had never faced Demonic Blood Emperor and didn't know how strong he was; they had only heard of his power but had no personal experience.

But at this moment, they could personally feel Zhu Tong's power—invincible!

No, to contend with him meant certain death!

This was the strength of the Dean of the Sacred Academy, and this was the confidence with which the Sacred Academy dared to be the leader of the Eternal Immortal Domain.

They couldn't help but look at Yu Yue. Was this level of strength truly something a human could contend with?

“What a high-sounding reason. What are you, Sacred Academy, to have the right to sanction me?”

“If you want to fight, just say so. I have never feared you.”

“Hypocritical scoundrel, how dare you bark here?!”

Yu Yue remained calm and composed, with no trace of nervousness on her Face, even showing disdain.

Swords were drawn, and a great battle was on the verge of breaking out.
