Chapter 170: If You Don't Want to Be Respectful, Then I'll Make You Respectful!

Her gaze lingered on Gu Shengge for a moment, then shifted to Tantai Qingxuan.

She could clearly see that Gu Shengge was in the Soul Transformation Realm, but she couldn't discern Tantai Qingxuan's Realm, indicating that Tantai Qingxuan's Realm far surpassed hers.

"Fellow Daoist Gu, Fairy Tantai, a pleasure to meet you."

She walked up to the two of them with a serious expression.

"Sit," Gu Shengge said, "Saintess, are you also here to investigate our cultivation Realms?"

Jun Mengqing chuckled, "My benefactor misunderstands. I simply wanted to see my benefactor. As for others, I didn't give them much thought."

Gu Shengge believed her words, which was why he had agreed to meet her.

While they were talking, Mu Qianyang also gathered various high-ranking officials and accompanying Cultivators to discuss a joint effort against the Corpse Plague.

Mu Qianyang's gaze swept over the high-ranking officials from various forces below, seeing many familiar faces, and even some forces that had secretly targeted the Qiankun Dao Sect in the past.

However, matters of Sect competition were an open secret, and there was no need to openly break ties.

"Everyone, you must have heard about the Great Yu Imperial Dynasty. The entire Great Yu Imperial Dynasty, three provinces in total, had all living beings annihilated!"

The expressions of the various forces below were solemn. They had also sent people to investigate and confirm these reports; indeed, the entire Great Yu Imperial Dynasty had been destroyed, with corpses everywhere and lives devastated.

Mu Qianyang was quite satisfied with their reaction and nodded slightly, "Everyone, the Qiongsang Domain is facing an unprecedented crisis. I believe you all know the purpose of gathering you here today."

Everyone's eyes flickered. In fact, they came only wanting to band together, preferably to seek the protection of the Qiankun Dao Sect. That was their true objective.

However, as it stood, the Qiankun Dao Sect didn't seem to possess that capability. In this regard, they remained skeptical.

Those few forces that had secretly targeted the Qiankun Dao Sect were already stirring. They were very unwilling to believe that the Qiankun Dao Sect was now powerful enough to command the Qiongsang Domain.

The old Palace Lord of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace stepped forward. This was a Void Refining Realm expert, incredibly powerful. When he appeared, the scene immediately fell silent.

"May I ask Emperor Yang, who will lead the effort against the Corpse disaster this time? Will it be the Qiankun Dao Sect?"

Mu Qianyang's face darkened. This was clearly intended to undermine him, wasn't it? Moreover, wasn't this Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace one of the masterminds behind the initial targeting of the Qiankun Dao Sect?

He hadn't expected them to be so audacious as to jump out like this now.

Mu Qianyang's gaze was heavy, and he said coldly, "Grand Elder of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace, you entered Void Refining five hundred years ago. You are now in the second stage of Void Refining, the Unity Realm. Is what this Sect says correct?"

The Xuanhuang Grand Elder was startled, then sneered, "Emperor Yang has certainly investigated thoroughly."

Mu Qianyang also sneered, "Of course. The Qiankun Dao Sect has thoroughly investigated everyone in the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace."

Regarding these people, the Qiankun Dao Sect did not retaliate immediately, not because they had forgotten, but simply because they did not want to disrupt the overall situation.

Zhang Haoyun, however, scoffed disdainfully, "That's good. Investigating thoroughly also helps us know the difference between us, doesn't it? This Seat will state it here today: if it's just the strength your Qiankun Dao Sect has currently shown, I'm afraid you won't be able to lead us!"

Many other Sects immediately followed suit, raising their doubts. They had always questioned the strength of the Qiankun Dao Sect, and now that someone had taken the lead, they immediately jumped out.

They were agitated, as if the Qiankun Dao Sect owed them something.

At this moment, falling snowflakes spread from Qingxuan Peak. As the snowflakes descended, an additional person appeared on the high platform. Beneath the snowflakes, her skin became even purer white, like white jade. Her exquisite face was cold and aloof, and an invisible pressure emanated from her, transcending the Void Refining Realm, instantly calming everyone's emotions.

They couldn't help but calm down! They felt that if they said one more word, they might be crushed and killed.

Emperor Yang stared coldly at the Palace Lord of the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace, his gaze sharp and icy: "Zhang Haoyun, back then you conspired to target the Qiankun Dao Sect, allowing the Demonic Sect to invade. This Emperor has not forgotten that debt! You still dare to speak so presumptuously here. Do you really think the Qiankun Dao Sect is easy to bully?"

Zhang Haoyun had dared to challenge Mu Qianyang earlier because he was a major Realm higher than him. Now that a Combined Dao Realm expert who could crush Void Refining had suddenly appeared, how could he dare to say more?

At this moment, he had already realized that the Qiankun Dao Sect indeed had Combined Dao level experts, and in terms of high-end combat power, they had completely widened the gap with them.

"Since the Qiankun Dao Sect possesses such strength, then we are naturally willing to obey your command!" he said, feigning courage.

Tantai Qingxuan saw his fearful expression, and a hint of disgust flashed in her eyes: "You are too noisy; you are making my Disciple very unhappy."

She stared at Zhang Haoyun, her gaze chillingly cold: "Especially you, you have made my Disciple particularly angry!"

Zhang Haoyun's internal alarm bells rang, and his gaze darkened: "Emperor Yang, what do you mean by this? Are you going to act at the Grand Sect Assembly? So overbearing! Are you not satisfied unless all Sects submit to the Qiankun Dao Sect?"

The other Sects also exchanged glances, their hearts filled with a faint worry.

Mu Qianyang saw that he was still provoking, and said coldly, "Zhang Haoyun, what I am talking about now is your secret targeting of the Qiankun Dao Sect. What does that have to do with them? The Qiankun Dao Sect has never had the intention of trampling all Fellow Daoists underfoot! The Qiankun Dao Sect fears no rumors! Since your Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace is unwilling to be respectful, then the Qiankun Dao Sect will help you be respectful!"

"Tantai, act!" Emperor Yang commanded.

Tantai Qingxuan did not move, but the wind and snow, following her will, drifted towards the area where the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace Cultivators were located.

They only felt a biting coldness assault them. The blood in their bodies instantly froze and solidified, their Meridians were blocked by ice, and their cultivation was completely frozen.

Zhang Haoyun sensed that something was wrong and quickly said, "Emperor Yang! Fairy Tantai! Stop!"

How could Tantai Qingxuan listen to him? The icy aura converged on Zhang Haoyun, making his movements slow down, and the next moment he was completely frozen, unable to move.

A cold light flashed in Tantai Qingxuan's beautiful eyes. In the area where the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace Cultivators were located, all the Cultivators' bodies shattered, turning into a pile of ice shards, their lives and Dao extinguished.

All of this happened too quickly for anyone to react. When they looked again, the area where the Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace Cultivators had been was empty.

The Cultivators from the surrounding major Sects and forces gasped in cold air at this sight. The Qiankun Dao Sect was actually so powerful and domineering that not a single member of the entire Xuanhuang Heavenly Palace was left!

Those Sect Cultivators who had been stirring earlier immediately shut their mouths, shrinking back like quails, not daring to say another word.
