528: Chapter 528 The conspiracy succeeded? They still want to be the overlord of the lower realm?

Tianshu Sword Sect, Sect Master Hall.

The night was deep, and the flame of the ever-burning lamp in the hall flickered slightly, stretching the shadows on the wall.

Shen Tianxing sat on the throne, his fingers lightly tapping the armrest, making a dull "tap-tap" sound.

The sound echoed in the empty hall, beat by beat, like a triumphal song of victory.

A smug smile hung on his face, and his eyes sparkled with the light of a successful plot.

In today's battle, although the Tianshu Sword Sect did not make a move, the result was even better than he had expected.

Xiao Nianyin killed Master Xuanming, the three Sect Masters of Tianxuan, Tianji, and Tianquan, and also hundreds of Righteous Path Disciples.

Once this news spreads, the entire Cultivation World will be shaken.

Those Righteous Path Sects will not let it slide, and the Ascension Hall will certainly not sit idly by.

He stood up, walked to the hall entrance, and gazed at the night sky, letting out a long breath. The moonlight spilled over him, casting a long shadow.

He spread his arms as if embracing the entire sky.

"Xiao Nianyin, Xu Ruyu, you won't be jumping around for much longer." His voice was soft, but every word was like a poison-tipped blade. "Once the Ascension Hall takes action, you will learn the consequences of offending my Tianshu Sword Sect."

Grand Elder Zhou Yunhe walked in from outside the hall, cupped his hands, and said, "Sect Master, the people from the Tianyan Sect have been settled in.

Sect Master Shen Biyun is resting in the Side Hall. She asked when you would be free, as she wishes to discuss the follow-up matters with you."

Shen Tianxing turned around and nodded. "Let her come over. It just so happens I have something to say to her as well."

Zhou Yunhe took his orders and left.

A moment later, Shen Biyun followed him inside.

Her complexion was not good, and there was a hint of unease in her eyes.

She was still somewhat fearful of today's events.

Xiao Nianyin's terrifying strength—taking out a Saint Realm Peak with a single palm strike—was just like slaughtering chickens.

If Xiao Nianyin had pointed the spearhead at her then, she wouldn't have survived at all.

She sat on a chair, holding a teacup with both hands, her fingers still trembling slightly.

"Big Brother," Shen Biyun put down her teacup and looked at Shen Tianxing. "Xiao Nianyin is so powerful; could she come to attack the Tianshu Sword Sect? We plotted against her this time; if she finds out..."

Shen Tianxing laughed and waved his hand, signaling her to be at ease.

He walked back to his throne, sat down, and took a sip of tea before speaking slowly, "Sister, you are overthinking it.

Xiao Nianyin is currently too busy taking care of herself; how would she have the time to come looking for trouble with us?"

Shen Biyun frowned slightly. "What do you mean, Big Brother?"

Shen Tianxing put down his teacup, stood up, and paced back and forth in the hall.

His steps were light, but each one carried the composure of someone who had the victory in hand.

The soles of his shoes clicked against the bluestone floor, sounding exceptionally clear in the silent hall.

"Sister, why do you think I incited those Righteous Path Sects to besiege the Hehuan Sect today?" He stopped and looked at Shen Biyun, a glint flashing in his eyes. "Do you think I did it just to avenge Old Ancestor Tian Jianzi?"

Shen Biyun shook her head. "I know you have other plans, Big Brother, but I'm not exactly sure what they are."

Shen Tianxing laughed, a smile full of smugness.

He sat back down, leaning against the throne, and spoke slowly in a low, calculating voice, "Sister, you should know the rules of the Ascension Hall—those in the True Immortal Realm are not allowed to linger in the Lower Realm, let alone take action against low-level Cultivators.

Once someone violates this, the Ascension Hall will step in to kill them or expel them from the Lower Realm."

Shen Biyun nodded. "I know that. But will the Ascension Hall actually care? Haven't they always been aloof and indifferent to worldly affairs?"

Shen Tianxing sneered and tapped the armrest. "Indifferent? That's only because their bottom line hasn't been crossed.

Xiao Nianyin is in the True Immortal Realm, yet she went on a killing spree in the Lower Realm, slaughtering hundreds, including several Sect Masters at the Saint Realm Peak.

There's no way the Ascension Hall will ignore this.

If they don't intervene, where would the prestige of the Ascension Hall be? Who would ever respect them again?"

Shen Biyun's eyes brightened slightly as if she understood something.

Shen Tianxing continued, his voice growing more excited, "So, we only need to wait. Wait for the Ascension Hall to act, wait for them to kill Xiao Nianyin.

When the time comes, the Hehuan Sect will be leaderless, and Xu Ruyu alone won't be able to make any waves.

We, the Tianshu Sword Sect, can crush them however we please."

He paused, a hint of greed flashing in his eyes. "Furthermore, Sister, think about it—the Sect Heads of the Ice Spirit Palace, Tianxuan Sect, Tianji Sect, and Tianquan Sect are all dead.

They are leaderless, which is the perfect opportunity for us to annex them.

Once Xiao Nianyin is dead, we will mobilize our troops and take all their resources, territory, and Disciples for ourselves.

By then, the entire Cultivation World will belong to our Shen Family."

Shen Biyun gasped. She hadn't expected Shen Tianxing's ambition to be so vast.

He didn't just want revenge; he wanted to annex the entire Righteous Alliance.

This move of driving the wolf to swallow the tiger and killing with a borrowed knife was truly brilliant.

She looked at Shen Tianxing, her eyes filled with admiration.

"But Big Brother," Shen Biyun was still a bit worried, "what if the Ascension Hall doesn't act? Or if they're too slow and Xiao Nianyin comes for us first..."

Shen Tianxing waved his hand and interrupted her, his tone certain. "They won't be. The Ascension Hall is very well-informed; tonight's events will reach their ears by tomorrow morning.

In just a few days, they will take action. As for Xiao Nianyin—"

He sneered, his eyes full of disdain.

"She's currently leading the remnants of the Hehuan Sect, hiding who-knows-where.

She doesn't dare come for us because she knows that the moment she moves, the Ascension Hall will be watching her."

Shen Biyun thought about it and found it reasonable, so she stopped speaking.

She picked up her teacup and took a sip, the unease in her heart gradually dissipating.

Shen Tianxing stood up, walked over to her, and patted her shoulder, speaking earnestly, "Sister, don't worry.

Once Xiao Nianyin is dead and the Hehuan Sect is destroyed, I will help you make the Tianyan Sect bigger and stronger.

At that time, our Shen Family will be the Dominators of the Lower Realm."

A flash of excitement crossed Shen Biyun's eyes, and she cupped her hands. "Then I thank you, Big Brother."

Shen Tianxing smiled and turned to walk out of the hall.

He was going to the Forbidden Ground in the back mountain to report today's results to Old Ancestor Xuan Jizi.
