718: The Empress attacks the Dan Sect

High above the Dan Sect.

Wuwei Dan and the Dan Sect Old Ancestor, holding doubts in their hearts, remained in place, waiting.

“Just now, it seemed like something was wrong over at the Fenggang Mountain Range.” Gazing into the distance, Wuwei Dan was somewhat puzzled.

“Silence,” the Old Ancestor transmitted, calling out.

Just now, he had clearly seen Kongtong Frost Snow heading in that direction.

And subsequently, he sensed a pressure that made him tremble with fear.

It was obvious the Empress's mood was getting worse!

It even seemed as though the very Foundation of that Fenggang Mountain Range had been uprooted by the Empress!

And just as the Old Ancestor's transmission fell, in front of the two of them, amid a spatial fluctuation, the majestic figure of Kongtong Frost Snow appeared.

“Your Majesty!” The two immediately bowed.

“Your Dan Sect… has done truly well.” A chilling pressure emanated from Kongtong Frost Snow.

The words she spoke were calm, but anyone could hear the contained fury beneath this woman's calm expression!

Kongtong Frost Snow was already very angry when she arrived, and when she left the Fenggang Mountain Range, the anger in her heart had risen several magnitudes!

Wuwei Dan and the Old Ancestor both swallowed, their bodies stiff.

Where had they offended this Empress?

Theoretically speaking, their Dan Sect and the Empress, and even the Phoenix Feather Dynasty, should not have had any conflict at all.

“Your Majesty… could it be that a certain Disciple or Elder within our Sect has offended you in some way?” Wuwei Dan braced himself, speaking with a slight stutter.

“Who in the world dares to offend this Emperor? I is praising your Dan Sect for doing well, how, can't you hear it?” Kongtong Frost Snow's tone was calm yet made it impossible for anyone to remain calm.

There's a problem, there's definitely a big problem here!

These two Old man had lived for so long after all.

The suppressed anger beneath Kongtong Frost Snow's seemingly calm words was clearly perceived by him.

It was just that the Empress didn't explain the reason at all, so they truly had no way to guess, and could only lower their heads with forced smiles!

“I heard that all of your Dan Sect's reserve pills were stolen by a Demon Sect?” Kongtong Frost Snow then spoke.

Hearing this topic, the Old Ancestor looked at the Wuwei Dan beside him, unsure.

He had been lying in his coffin, seeking the final Breakthrough opportunity, and knew less about the Sect's situation than a Disciple.

Wuwei Dan's heart slightly trembled.

Had Your Majesty already known about the situation of their Dan Sect?

Indeed, nothing in the world could be hidden from this Empress.

She brought it up herself, could it be that she intended to help their Dan Sect?

Thinking of this, Wuwei Dan's heart was slightly happy.

“Your Majesty, this is true, that Demon is truly rampant! Stealing the foundational resources of our Dan Sect is pushing the Dan Sect to its death!” Wuwei Dan said with a bitter expression, looking utterly miserable.

“Now, within the Sect, it's difficult to even allocate and provide cultivation resources for the next month.”

“We sought help from other Sects, but the results were minimal. If there is no other assistance, the Dan Sect is in danger!”

Wuwei Dan briefly explained the situation, of course, portraying it in the worst possible light.

And while saying this, his gaze looked at Kongtong Frost Snow in front of him, with some anticipation in his eyes.

He had already made himself so clear.

Next, this Empress should wave her hand and solve the problem of their Dan Sect with a single sentence, right?!

It must be like this, otherwise, why would she suddenly ask about this matter? Isn't it because she cares about the Dan Sect?

“It seems the matter is truly as reported.” Kongtong Frost Snow's expression gradually changed from calm to a hint of indifference.

As if revealing a corner of her true emotions: “The Dan Sect, as a landmark Sect in the vast territory of the Dan Domain, with over a hundred thousand Disciples, nearly a thousand Golden Core, and dozens of Nascent Soul, how could a Sect of such scale allow a Demon to infiltrate it?”

“And even have so much property stolen! Causing the cultivation resources of Dan Path Disciples in the Five Spirits Continent to sharply decrease!”

“Your Dan Sect, within this Dan Domain, has been utterly negligent and has disappointed I to the extreme!”

Every word was spoken clearly, containing stern rebuke, which made the two most powerful experts of the Dan Sect bury their heads, not daring to utter a single word.

So, Your Majesty wasn't here to help, but to hold them accountable!

Thinking of this woman's decisive nature, killing as she pleased, cold sweat beaded on both their foreheads.

Generally speaking, although the Phoenix Feather Dynasty's territory was vast, it couldn't control their Dan Sect.

The two sides had no conflict and there was no superior-subordinate relationship.

The key issue was.

Kongtong Frost Snow was not only the Emperor of the Phoenix Feather Dynasty.

She was also the respected Lord jointly elected by all the righteous Sects in the entire Five Spirits Continent!

Within the Five Spirits Continent, Kongtong Frost Snow had the right to inquire about, and even intervene in and punish or reward all matters of the various Sects!

This right was equivalent to, or even surpassed, that of the Sect Old Ancestor!

No wonder Kongtong Frost Snow had been coming so frequently these past two days.

It turned out to be because of this matter…

“Your Majesty, this matter is because that Demon is also a Late Stage Nascent Soul expert, coupled with…”

“ I does not need to hear any explanations, and I is never willing to hear the process of something that has already happened!” Kongtong Frost Snow flicked her sleeve, her tone indifferent: “If the Dan Sect does not maintain its original ranking in the Hundred Sect Gathering a year from now, then the title of a first-class Sect, the Dan Sect need not keep it anymore.”

“What?!” Hearing this, a deep panic flashed in Wuwei Dan's eyes.

The Dan Sect has been a first-class Sect, a title it has held for thousands of years.

If it were to become a second-class Sect under his leadership as Sect Leader, he would be the sinner of the entire Dan Sect!

“Your Majesty, Your Majesty, this matter is of great importance, it should be discussed, Your Majesty!” Wuwei Dan was truly panicked.

Hundred Sect Gathering.

This was a grand event held every hundred years by the various cultivation Sects in the Five Spirits Continent.

The main purpose of the event was for each Sect to make an appearance, so that they would have an impression of each other when they met in the future.

And this grand event would also re-rank all the Sects.

The ranking wasn't determined by everyone fighting each other.

This ranking was based on how much contribution each Sect had made to the Five Spirits Continent over the previous hundred years.

Generally, Sects that didn't benefit the world, didn't harm people, and had no backing, had relatively ordinary rankings, falling after the hundredth place.

And some Sects that had problems.

For example, this time with the Dan Sect, where the Sect's pills were taken by a Demon into the Demon Path's sphere of influence.

This created a situation of mutual decline and growth, which was extremely detrimental!

Under normal circumstances, the status of the Dan Sect would plummet after the Hundred Sect Gathering.

But due to the unique nature of the Dan Sect, coupled with the fact that they had the backing of a Divine Transformation Peak expert serving as a minister in the Phoenix Feather Dynasty.

Therefore, even if the Dan Sect had the incident of its pills being stolen, at most it would bleed a lot, and in the end, it would still be able to maintain the symbol of a first-class Sect.

It was precisely this point that made Wuwei Dan not overly pessimistic.

But now…

This woman, whose words were like a decree, her words directly made the backing behind the Dan Sect useless, shattering Wuwei Dan's last bit of hope!

Unless the woman in front of him changed her mind, the eventual decline of the Dan Sect was a foregone conclusion!
