A name I haven't heard for a long time.

Phoenix Aotian's words left several people stunned!

The Four Regions are vast and boundless!

Each region stretches for thousands upon thousands of miles.

They were currently located in the northern part of the Eastern Region, and their destination in the Southern Region was more than thousands of miles away.

Even for a Sky Profound expert, traveling at full speed would take months.

Even with a teleportation array, it would likely take at least ten days to half a month to reach their destination.

Yet now, Phoenix Aotian actually said he would handle the matter by the time the moon rose.

This amount of information was a bit too much, exceeding their comprehension.

The next moment, they witnessed what terrifying movement speed truly meant.

Phoenix Aotian waved his large hand, directly taking everyone and disappearing from their original spot.

This area was incomplete, and the spatial weakness here was incomparable to that of the Central Continent.

With Feng Aotian's ability, he could directly tear space and instantly teleport thousands upon thousands of miles.

From the Northern Region to the Southern Region, for him, at full speed, it truly wouldn't take more than half an hour.

...

Southern Region!

Tyrant Sky Sect!

This was a sect established on a spirit stone mine!

It was a super sect spanning hundreds of thousands of miles!

Among the Four Regions!

The Eastern Region had the lowest strength, followed by the Northern Region, the Southern Region was the strongest, and the Western Region was the most mysterious.

The Southern Region was also known as the most suitable place for cultivation among the Four Regions.

The spiritual energy here was much denser than in the other regions.

The cultivators here, both in quality and quantity, far exceeded the combined total of the Eastern and Northern Regions.

And for the Tyrant Sky Sect to dominate the Southern Region, its strength was evident.

Speaking of the Tyrant Sky Sect, its predecessor was the Sword Sect. Four hundred years ago, the Sword Sect also gained considerable renown throughout the Southern Region.

But later, it was said to have been annexed by the Xiao family, led by a woman.

Then the Xiao family and the Sword Sect merged into one, changing their appearance and forming a brand new sect.

Its name was Tyrant!

The entire sect was led by Xiao Qinger as its Sect Master!

This woman possessed terrifying talent, was decisive in her actions, and was incredibly powerful.

In just under four hundred years, she had led the entire sect to a new height.

Becoming the undisputed number one sect in the local area!

At this moment!

Inside the Tyrant Sky Sect!

In a secret chamber within a sword tower.

All the high-ranking members of the Tyrant Sky Sect were gathered.

Their expressions were solemn as they discussed a major matter.

"Are you truly certain that the Sky Sect was annihilated by someone?"

An Elder asked with a shocked and disbelieving expression.

The Sky Sect's reputation was not prominent throughout the Southern Region.

In fact, those who knew of them were few and far between in the entire Southern Region.

Only the top-tier forces of the Southern Region were qualified to come into contact with this reclusive sect.

And the Tyrant Sky Sect, being a sect that had recently ascended to top-tier status in recent years, just barely met the threshold to know of the Sky Sect's existence.

It was precisely because they knew that they understood the weight of the two words 'Sky Sect' even more.

This sect, to any force in the Southern Region, was a behemoth.

It was a towering mountain pressing down on them!

Rumor had it that anyone who emerged from the Sky Sect possessed the strength to sweep through an entire top-tier force.

They secretly controlled the top-tier forces of the entire Southern Region, thereby wantonly plundering the resources of the entire Southern Region.

Within a small, exclusive circle of those who knew the Sky Sect's name, a saying had always circulated:

Of the Southern Region's ten parts of resources, the Sky Sect alone occupies five.

This showed the astonishing degree of control the Sky Sect had over the entire Southern Region.

When they thought of the Sky Sect, their first thoughts were of transcendence, power, invincibility, and being high above.

It could even be said to be synonymous with invincibility.

Yet, news had now come that such a sect had been collectively wiped out.

How could this not shock people, how could this not terrify them?

At this moment, everyone's gaze converged on the Fourth Elder of the Tyrant Sky Sect.

The Fourth Elder swallowed hard.

He forcefully suppressed his emotions.

He explained again, "I can't be certain, but there's an eighty to ninety percent chance that they were annihilated by someone!"

"Today, I went with other sects to pay tribute to the Sky Sect, and as I was leaving, a startled cry came from within the Sky Sect."

"They said that the life tablets of the Sect Master and all the high-ranking Elders had shattered!"

As soon as his voice fell, an Elder pondered and spoke, "Could there be a trick involved?"

"Impossible!"

Another Elder immediately retorted.

"How vast is the Sky Sect's scale?"

"If they were to get serious, sweeping through the entire Southern Region wouldn't be an issue."

"Although a lion uses its full strength even against a rabbit, in front of a group of ants, a normal person wouldn't go to great lengths to scheme against ants."

"This news is too sudden; I'm afraid it's true!"

For a moment, everyone's eyes gleamed, and a hint of greedy agitation appeared on their faces.

The Sky Sect had governed the entire Southern Region for an unknown number of years.

They had plundered countless resources.

Their treasury held an untold number of treasures.

If this behemoth, the Sky Sect, were to collapse.

If they could share its inheritance, it would undoubtedly be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for the Tyrant Sky Sect.

It could instantly boost the Tyrant Sky Sect's overall strength by several levels.

"Sect Master, what should we do now?"

"Should we lead people to forcefully occupy the Sky Sect?"

Someone excitedly asked the figure seated at the highest position in the hall.

This person had phoenix-like eyes and starry pupils, wore a flowing purple-gold gown, with a cinnabar dot on her forehead, and a white jade purple hairpin in her hair. Her figure was graceful, and her curves were stunning.

She exuded an air of nobility!

And also carried the domineering authority of a superior.

It was precisely the current Sect Master of the Tyrant Sky Sect, Xiao Qinger, a woman full of legends and controversies.

Facing the Seventh Elder's question, Xiao Qinger closed her eyes in contemplation, her slender jade fingers tapping rhythmically on the table.

As the crisp tapping sounds echoed, Xiao Qinger spoke.

"As the saying goes, a starved camel is still bigger than a horse. The Sky Sect has dominated the Southern Region for many years; its foundation is unimaginable."

"The tiger's might remains even after death; we must not be unprepared!"

"But Sect Master, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

"The Tyrant Sky Sect is certainly not the only one aware of this news."

"If other sects get there first, the situation might become unfavorable for us!"

Xiao Qinger still maintained a calm and relaxed demeanor.

"Compared to other top-tier great sects, our Tyrant Sky Sect's foundation is inherently weaker. Even if the Sky Sect's high-ranking members are truly all annihilated, that inheritance is not something our Tyrant Sky Sect can monopolize."

"It's better to let other sects go and scout the way!"

"Firstly, we can ascertain the Sky Sect's true situation!"

"Secondly, even if they truly obtain a fortuitous encounter, they will inevitably become a target for everyone. At that time, we can form alliances and divide and conquer them."

"This way, we don't have to bear the risks, and we can maximize our benefits. Isn't that a hundred times better than blindly rushing forward and fighting to the death!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone bowed in admiration: "Sect Master is wise!"

Just at this moment!

A thunder-like sound exploded above the Tyrant Sky Sect.

"Sword Wushuang is back, Xiao Qinger! Come out and face your death!"

These words made Xiao Qinger, who had been meditating with her eyes closed, suddenly open them wide.

After a slight moment of surprise, she seemed to fall into some kind of memory.

"Sword Wushuang, that's a name I haven't heard in a long time!"

After a long pause, she let out a faint sigh: "Ah, in this world, there are always some fools. Isn't it better to live? Why do they insist on seeking death?"
