255: Remove the Overlord

There was nothing to say that night.

The next day, news about the five-year duel between Changsun Zilan and Dragon Flame had spread everywhere.

"Have you heard? Tianwei Sect's direct Disciple, Changsun Zilan, used forbidden arts in the duel!"

"Is that true?"

"Only a fool would believe that. What forbidden art can instantly raise one's Realm by three minor stages and also elevate a mid-grade spiritual technique to the perfected level?"

In teahouses, shops, and training grounds, discussions about whether Changsun Zilan used forbidden arts were fiercely debated.

There shouldn't have been anything to debate.

The reason was that the one who said Changsun Zilan used forbidden arts was the Sect Leader of Tianwei Sect, Changsun Zilan's Revered Master!

According to normal logic.

There was absolutely no reason for the Sect Leader of Tianwei Sect to deceive everyone under broad daylight.

It was also at this time, while the topic's popularity remained high.

Changsun Zilan received a letter from Sect Leader Shao Xiangxuan.

"Admit to the outside world that you used forbidden arts."

In Shao Xiangxuan's view, the only quick and effective way to quell those rumors and prevent other Sects from laughing was to do this!

"What a truly good Revered Master."

The letter was shattered, Changsun Zilan sneered, and took out the Recording Stone obtained from the System.

Spiritual energy was infused.

The size of the Recording Stone's projection was directly proportional to the amount of spiritual energy injected.

Now possessing the Martial Soul third stage.

Looking at the entire Huangyan Empire, this was a first-class level.

Instantly.

A clear light screen directly appeared from Changsun Zilan's Peak!

Because of yesterday's events, many people were already paying attention to Changsun Zilan.

When the enormous light screen appeared from her courtyard, it immediately allowed a large number of Martial Arts Cultivators to witness it clearly.

...

"Kneel."

"Why should I kneel?"

"Because you cannot win on the martial arts stage just now!"

"Dragon Flame is backed by the ancient Dragon Family! The Royal Family doesn't dare to provoke them, but our Tianwei Sect has offended them and lost Face because of your annulment of the engagement five years ago!"

...

In the clear image, the conversation between the two women, like a movie being played, was excellent in both angle and transition.

However, no one cared about these things.

Everyone was looking at the image with shock.

This was the truth of the matter!

"This, how could the Sect Leader of Tianwei Sect be like this?"

"How can we righteous Martial Arts Cultivators be so servile?!"

"Poor Saintess Zilan, to actually have such a Revered Master!"

Compared to most rogue Cultivators and Martial Arts Cultivators from other Sects, the Disciples of Tianwei Sect felt a burning pain on their Faces.

The Sect Leader's appearance had completely disgraced Tianwei Sect!

Some quick-witted people took out their Recording Stones and recorded the scene in the air.

Such an event was a sensational matter for the entire Huangyan Empire!

"Boom!"

A vast fluctuation of spiritual energy swept out.

The image in the air was instantly shattered.

What appeared instead was a White-Haired Old Man with a refined and otherworldly demeanor.

The aura surging around the White-Haired Old Man was so profound that Disciples of lower Realms felt a deep pulling force just by looking at him!

"This is, an Elder of the Elders Hall!"

Seeing the other party for the first time, the Disciples cried out in surprise one by one.

And the surrounding rogue Cultivators dared not make any presumptuous moves.

The Elders of the Elders Hall were the true foundation of a Sect.

They were above the Sect Leader!

Tianwei Sect, it was rumored, had three Elders of the Elders Hall, each having reached the Peak of the Martial King Realm!

After the White-Haired Old Man shattered the image in the air.

He looked at Changsun Zilan below with an expressionless Face, and then shifted his sharp gaze to the main Peak, Qiu Long Mountain.

"Shao Xiangxuan, the Nineteenth Generation Sect Leader of Tianwei Sect! Come out and see me!"

Regarding the Sect Leader.

The Elders of the Elders Hall would generally use the respectful title of Sect Leader, only referring to them by name when the Sect Leader had truly violated the Sect's interests!

Shao Xiangxuan's actions had undoubtedly shattered the Face of a Sect!

"A major event."

Seeing the Elder of the Elders Hall appear, everyone around showed an expression of watching a great spectacle.

As the angry voice of the White-Haired Old Man with a refined and otherworldly demeanor sounded, on Qiu Long Mountain, a long arc of spiritual energy rose from thin air.

"Elder?"

When Shao Xiangxuan arrived, she still didn't know what was happening.

She just felt that everyone's gazes were very strange.

This Elder of the Elders Hall before her even had an expression filled with anger.

"The Face that Tianwei Sect has accumulated over hundreds of years has been completely lost by you!"

His words, without any politeness, were not only directed at Shao Xiangxuan but also at the outsiders who were watching the show.

"I... What happened?"

Shao Xiangxuan's heart tightened slightly.

This Elder of the Elders Hall had always been good-tempered, why was he so angry today, and towards her?

"As the Sect Leader, you don't have any semblance of a Sect Leader, you have truly disappointed this old man! Go to Heavenly Micro Cliff of the Sect and reflect properly!"

The unquestionable tone made Shao Xiangxuan's brows slowly furrow, with more confusion.

In fact.

If this matter had only spread among the Sect's high-ranking officials.

The Elder of the Elders Hall would not have appeared.

At most, he would have verbally reprimanded Shao Xiangxuan and then suppressed the matter.

But now, Changsun Zilan had almost made the matter known to everyone; in such a situation, for the sake of the Sect's reputation, the Elder of the Elders Hall had to act with absolute impartiality to salvage the Sect's Face!

"Elder, could you please clarify the matter? Letting this Sect Leader go to Heavenly Micro Cliff to reflect without a clear explanation seems unreasonable."

Shao Xiangxuan was full of questions.

She couldn't understand if this Elder of the Elders Hall had taken the wrong medicine today or what.

The Elder of the Elders Hall slowly shook his head: "Although the Dragon Family is powerful, as the Sect Leader of a Sect, does your fawning and flattering demeanor live up to your status!"

"I don't want to say more. If you still want to stay in Tianwei Sect, then go to Heavenly Micro Cliff to reflect!"

As the words came out.

Shao Xiangxuan instantly froze.

How did the Elder of the Elders Hall know about her attitude towards the Dragon Family?

With the truth exposed, Shao Xiangxuan looked at the Elder of the Elders Hall before her with sharp eyes, her fists slightly clenched.

But she also felt discouraged.

All she wanted to know now was who had leaked the news!

"Revered Master, have a good journey."

A slightly playful voice emerged.

Shao Xiangxuan's gaze suddenly shot over.

"It's you?!"

Seeing Changsun Zilan, a murderous aura appeared in Shao Xiangxuan's eyes.

"What? You still want to attack a Sect Disciple in front of this old man?!"

The Elder of the Elders Hall's voice cut off Shao Xiangxuan's emotions.

"I wouldn't dare."

Shao Xiangxuan lowered her head and bowed, but there was a cold meaning in her eyes: "This Sect Leader accepts the punishment."

After speaking, with spiritual energy surging around the woman, she stepped into the air and headed towards Heavenly Micro Cliff.

As Shao Xiangxuan left, the Elder of the Elders Hall's gaze lingered on Changsun Zilan for a while longer before he departed.

From the moment Changsun Zilan released the image from the Recording Stone until the Elder of the Elders Hall appeared and left, everything took only the short time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

But it brought lasting shock to the surrounding Martial Arts Cultivators.

Everyone understood.

This matter was far from over.

If Tianwei Sect did not handle this well, it would surely become the laughingstock of countless Sects in the entire Huangyan Empire in the future.

Time passed.

Approaching night.

Tianwei Sect announced a piece of news that was unexpected yet reasonable.

'The current Sect Leader of Tianwei Sect, Shao Xiangxuan, has disgraced the Sect's reputation. By the unanimous decision of the three Elders of the Elders Hall, her position as Sect Leader is hereby revoked!'

"It turned out to be this result."

Many Disciples couldn't help but sigh with emotion.

Throughout the history of Tianwei Sect, it seemed there had never been a situation where a Sect Leader was removed from their position by the Elders of the Elders Hall.

Shao Xiangxuan was the first.

"She really stepped down."

Looking at the bright Moon in the sky, Changsun Zilan's incomparably beautiful Face, illuminated by the clear moonlight, showed a relaxed expression.

In fact, in Ye Tian's view.

Shao Xiangxuan's actions were essentially the same as a high-ranking official in the Original World acting like a bootlicker for foreigners.

From the perspective of Tianwei Sect, it would be unreasonable to let her continue as Sect Leader if she acted like that.

"Ding ~ Host has completed the mission. Reward: Forest King mount."

The System's prompt made Changsun Zilan look behind her as if she sensed something.

"Rumble ~ ~"

In the space behind her, a huge spatial rift, along with large areas of thunder and fire, slowly revealed itself!

"Roar..."

In a low growl, a powerful aura like a deep abyss instantly enveloped Changsun Zilan's entire courtyard!
