CHAPTER 140: CHAPTER 140: MUST IMPOSE SANCTIONS

"A change? What does the Saint mean by this? Are you saying your words mean nothing?"

The Heart Division experts all looked rather grim.

In this opening of the Void Immortal Realm, they were expected to send around five hundred clan members in.

This was due to the strong protection effect of the Heart-Piercing Awl, unlike Lan Ti with the Four-direction Primordial Cauldron, which could only protect three people at most.

Entering the Immortal Realm was an immense affair.

Once ascended successfully, it was akin to a carp leaping through the Dragon Gate, cultivating in the environment of Immortal Yuan Qi, transcending from mortal to immortal.

And they harbored an even greater hope—to rediscover the nine Immortal Ancestors of old in the Immortal Realm.

Led by them, the tribe would regain its former glory!

Due to the numerous Daoist Palace geniuses within the clan, even five hundred slots were insufficient, prompting the Heart Division to hastily conduct internal selection tournaments.

The competition was fierce.

At present, only three months remained until the agreed opening date.

If the partnership goes south at such a crucial moment, they might literally bleed.

"Clan Leader Qing Suo, you’ve misunderstood."

Saint Bi Feng swept his sleeve and smiled calmly.

"I certainly wish to collaborate with you in opening the Void Immortal Realm."

"I simply hope to add one restriction condition."

Qing Suo quickly asked, "What condition?"

"No member of the Feixian Sect is allowed to enter the Void Immortal Realm."

Once the Void Immortal Realm opened, nine entrances would exist.

These nine entrances were each manipulated by those nine magical treasures.

Those who controlled these nine magical treasures indeed had the power to deny entry to anyone.

The passage Lan Ti always wanted to enter naturally was also the Witch Division’s entrance.

Saint Bi Feng awaited Qing Suo’s response after stating this.

Unexpectedly, Qing Suo and the elders exchanged glances, bewildered.

"May I ask, Saint, what is the Feixian Sect?"

This...

Even Saint Bi Feng, with his cunning, couldn’t help but find it absurd.

The topic of the Feixian Sect had reached wide circulation; even the Mortal World was discussing it, truly making it widely known.

Yet they were completely uninformed.

After all, it was a force of Holy Land level; even without external contact, some level of intelligence should exist.

"The Feixian Sect is a sect, and their Sect Leader is Jiang Cheng, and also Lan Ti is over there."

"Ah? Jiang Cheng and Lan Ti?"

Mentioning these two, the Heart Division immediately had a recollection.

"Why did the Saint decide on this action?"

"Yes, but Lan Ti is the only hope of the Witch Division, having always awaited this chance."

"That Jiang Cheng can be disregarded, but at least let Lan Ti enter!"

Historically, the Heart Division had the best relationship with the Witch Division; both developed in the Thousand Spirit Domain, mutually supporting each other.

However, after the Witch Division lost their magical treasure, their decline was swift.

Regarding Lan Ti, they still wished she could accompany them to the Immortal Realm, perhaps aiding the Witch Division’s revival there.

Continuing as a powerful ally of the Heart Division.

Saint Bi Feng knew clearly what they were considering.

"They committed acts that outraged both gods and humans."

"Already, the Thousand Spirit Domain cannot tolerate them."

"I am not here to negotiate, but to declare a decision!"

"If you don’t punish them, then we’ll shelve the opening of the Void Immortal Realm."

His attitude was firm.

Clearly, with only one magical treasure, he somehow manipulated the initiative.

It seemed like the other Eight Tribes were seeking cooperation with him.

This decision was reached after meticulous consideration.

Effacing Silence Sacred Land silently indicates the Feixian Sect must have Saint Tier residing.

Without clarifying the enemy, he would not rashly confront them.

Better to force the Heart Division to deal with Jiang Cheng, using them as a scouting pawn.

Qing Suo found it hard to comprehend: "They merely have some minor disputes with Silence Sacred Land, is it weighty enough to disturb you?"

"Why bother with the juniors, Saint?"

"Yes, only a few Saint Heirs have died, we’re willing to mediate."

"It would be such a pity for Lan Ti to miss this chance."

Their intelligence still remained at the stage where Jiang Cheng killed those two Saint Heirs and one Elder.

This outdated information resulted from the incident occurring directly within the Heart Division, witnessed personally by them.

"Only a few Saint Heirs died?"

Saint Bi Feng was nearly speechless.

"Minor disputes?"

"To tell you the truth, Silence Sacred Land has been obliterated by them."

What?

Silence Sacred Land has been eradicated?

Furthermore, eradicated by Jiang Cheng?

The Heart Division was utterly astounded.

Had it not been the Saint saying this directly, they would have never believed it.

"Where are the three Venerables of Silence Sacred Land? Jiang Cheng is merely at the Daoist Palace Realm, correct?"

"Indeed, does the Feixian Sect have Saint Tier residing?"

"But I’ve never heard of a sect named Feixian Sect existing, could it be a reclusive Sacred Land?"

As their speculations spiraled further, their discussions endlessly prolonged, Saint Bi Feng grew slightly impatient.

"It is indeed the fact."

"If you disbelieve, you can send someone to investigate."

"In any event, Jiang Cheng obliterated Silence Sacred Land and violated the rules of the Thousand Spirit Domain."

"Such an action will absolutely not be tolerated by me!"

His expression turned stern.

"Two choices are available: either expel the Feixian Sect from the Thousand Spirit Domain or obstruct them, denying entry into the Void Immortal Realm!"

His true aim was actually the first result.

Exiling the Feixian Sect from the Thousand Spirit Domain seemed inconsequential.

However, at that time, the Feixian Sect would be inevitably crossing boundaries.

With potential Saint Tier residing in such a sect, once leaving the Thousand Spirit Domain, they would be suppressed by the cosmic rules.

Saint Bi Feng’s extensive connections would then readily enable him to annihilate the Feixian Sect.

"In just a few days, the opening ceremony for the Feixian Sect’s founding will occur. Time for your consideration is limited."

"I expect a satisfactory answer before that."

"Otherwise, cooperation ends!"

After speaking, his Dharma Body became ethereal, gradually disappearing from sight.

Following his departure, the Heart Division was silent for a full half-stick of incense.

Each one’s eyes were full of astonishment.

Many didn’t clearly hear Saint Bi Feng’s final words.

Their minds buzzed, echoing one statement—Silence Sacred Land was destroyed by Jiang Cheng.

Silence Sacred Land was close to the Heart Division.

This neighbor had interacted for millions of years; there was no way they could be unfamiliar.

Three formidable figures in Ascending to Saint, nearly a thousand Daoist Palaces, ten thousand disciples!

Though the top tier lacked the Heart Division’s level, they were indisputably a mighty presence, causing persistent headaches.

Gone just like that?

Suddenly, they recalled a departing phrase Jiang Cheng had said.

"Soon, you will hear my name once more."

At the time, they dismissed it as mere bravado, assigning it no extra thought.

Who could have anticipated its fulfillment today?

And delivered with explosive shock value.

How did he achieve it?

No matter how they dissected it, they couldn’t fathom it.

"Clan Leader, what... should we do?"

"If we don’t agree to Saint Bi Feng’s request, not only will cooperation end, but the other Tribes will also hold us accountable."

"Indeed, everyone is prepared to ascend to the Immortal Realm..."

"We cannot afford to lose this opportunity."

Qing Suo rubbed her brow, feeling deeply unsettled.

"Dispatch someone to investigate, also their founding ceremony."
