501: Chapter 501 Once Xiao Nianyin leaves, isn't the Hehuan Sect just a bunch of ants?

"If I didn't come out, you would have smashed the signboard of the Tianshu Sword Sect."

Xuanjizi's voice was old and hoarse, but full of vigor.

"A single Xiao Nianyin has scared you like this? So what if she is in the True Immortal Realm? The True Immortal Realm is not allowed to remain in the Lower Realm; this is the rule, the Heavenly Dao Law, an ironclad regulation that cannot be crossed.

If Xiao Nianyin has truly achieved a Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm, do we even need to take action ourselves?"

The hall was silent.

Everyone looked at Xuanjizi, waiting for him to continue.

Xuanjizi walked to the center of the hall, turned around, and faced the crowd.

His back was slightly hunched, but standing there, he possessed an indescribable majesty.

"Have you forgotten the Ascension Hall?"

The Ascension Hall.

As soon as these three words were spoken, a glimmer of light flashed in everyone's eyes.

Shen Tianxing murmured, "The Ascension Hall... Junior Martial Uncle, are you saying we should tell the Ascension Hall about Xiao Nianyin's Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm?"

Xuanjizi nodded, "The Ascension Hall is the organization that manages all cultivators in the Lower Realm who have entered the True Immortal Realm. They style themselves as envoys of the Upper Realm, representing the will of the Upper Realm.

Everyone in the Lower Realm who achieves a Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm must register with the Ascension Hall and follow their arrangements to ascend to the Upper Realm at any time.

The True Immortal Realm is not permitted to remain in the Lower Realm; this is the rule, an ironclad regulation that cannot be crossed.

If Xiao Nianyin has truly achieved a Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm, she will be taken away by the Ascension Hall.

Once she is gone, Xu Ruyu will have no one to rely on. At that time, when our Tianshu Sword Sect seeks revenge, who would dare to stop us?"

Grand Elder Zhou Yunhe's eyes lit up, "Brilliant! To use someone else's blade to kill, without wasting a single soldier!

If the Ascension Hall takes action, let alone if Xiao Nianyin is in the True Immortal Realm, even at the Peak of the True Immortal Realm, she would have to obey obediently!"

Second Elder Han Song also laughed, "Right! Let the Ascension Hall deal with Xiao Nianyin, we just need to sit and wait for the news.

Once Xiao Nianyin is taken away, Xu Ruyu will be a toothless tiger, easy to crush!"

Third Elder Su Wanqing nodded, but her brows were still slightly furrowed, "But how can we be sure that Xiao Nianyin has truly achieved a Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm?

What if she is only a Half-step True Immortal, and we report false information? It would be difficult to answer to the Ascension Hall."

Xuanjizi glanced at her and said indifferently, "Although I am old, I still have that much discernment.

The pressure Zhou Hai described could definitely not have been emitted by a Half-step True Immortal.

If Xiao Nianyin is not in the True Immortal Realm, I will bet my old life on it."

Su Wanqing quickly said, "This Disciple dares not."

Shen Tianxing stood up and paced back and forth in the hall.

His steps were quick, his soles striking the bluestone floor, making a "tap, tap" sound.

Everyone watched him, waiting for his decision.

After pacing back and forth a few times, Shen Tianxing stopped, turned around, and looked at the crowd.

"Fine. Let's do it this way." His voice was soft but firm, "Send someone to the Ascension Hall and tell them exactly what happened regarding Xiao Nianyin's Breakthrough to the True Immortal Realm."

Grand Elder Zhou Yunhe asked, "Who shall we send?"

Shen Tianxing thought for a moment and said, "Let Zhou Hai go. He has seen Xiao Nianyin with his own eyes and knows the situation best."

Zhou Hai knelt on the ground, his body trembling slightly.

He raised his head, looking at Shen Tianxing, his eyes full of fear, "Sect Master, Disciple... Disciple's Cultivation is low, a place like the Ascension Hall, Disciple..."

Shen Tianxing interrupted him, "You are just going to report news, not to fight.

No matter how overbearing the people of the Ascension Hall are, they won't make things difficult for a messenger.

Go, explain the situation clearly, describe Xiao Nianyin's characteristics clearly, and mention the matter of Xu Ruyu as well.

Tell them that Xiao Nianyin and Xu Ruyu are together, both are from the Hehuan Sect, and they have committed many evil deeds and acted recklessly.

Let them know that this True Immortal Realm cultivator is not a good person."

Zhou Hai gritted his teeth and kowtowed, "Disciple obeys."

He stood up, turned around, and walked out of the hall.

"Wait." Shen Tianxing suddenly called out to him.

Zhou Hai stopped and looked back at him.

Shen Tianxing said slowly, "Remember, when you arrive at the Ascension Hall, say what should be said, and don't say a single word that shouldn't be said.

Xiao Nianyin is from the Hehuan Sect, Xu Ruyu is from the Hehuan Sect, and they have committed many evil deeds and acted recklessly.

Our Tianshu Sword Sect is a Sect of the Righteous Path; we are eliminating harm for the people and maintaining order in the Cultivation World.

Do you understand?"

Zhou Hai nodded, "Disciple understands."

He turned and walked quickly out of the main hall.

In the hall, Shen Tianxing slowly sat back on his throne and let out a long sigh.

"Once the people from the Ascension Hall take action, Xiao Nianyin will not be able to escape even with wings.

By then, Xu Ruyu will be meat on the chopping block, ready for us to slaughter."

His voice was soft, but his eyes were full of cold, sinister amusement.

Grand Elder Zhou Yunhe stroked his beard and smiled, "Sect Master is wise. By using the hand of the Ascension Hall to eliminate Xiao Nianyin, we have both avenged ourselves and preserved the Sect's strength. It serves two purposes at once."

Second Elder Han Song also laughed, "Once Xu Ruyu has no one to rely on, let's see how he can still be arrogant.

A brat at the Early Saint Realm, we can just send anyone to deal with him."

Third Elder Su Wanqing did not speak; she just looked at the sky outside the hall, a complex light flashing in her eyes.

She always felt that things were not that simple.

But she couldn't say what was wrong.

Perhaps, she was just overthinking it.

Outside the hall, the sun was bright.

But in the Sect Master Hall of the Tianshu Sword Sect, a cold and sinister atmosphere permeated.

A conspiracy was brewing.
