Xu Fengqiu was also listening to everyone's reports from the past two months.
"Sect Leader, there is one more thing."
Said the Sage of Poetry.
"Senior Sage of Poetry, please speak."
"This old man has also been traveling around recently. In recent days, the Demonic Sect has been rampant. In just two months, more than thirty-seven unknown sects and fifteen more powerful sects have been destroyed. None of the disciples within the sects survived, and the sects were completely looted, causing widespread panic. This doesn't even include those remote villages and towns."
Xu Fengqiu nodded: "Done by the Profound Yin Palace?"
The Sage of Poetry said: "There are many rumors outside, but because these destroyed sects are all within the borders of the Five Great Empires, and the Profound Yin Palace is in the Martial Extremes Empire, plus I haven't conducted a particularly thorough investigation, I can't be sure if it was solely the Profound Yin Palace's doing."

The Grand Righteous Immortal Emperor said: "These Demonic Sects cultivate different evil arts, but they are essentially the same. This matter is either the work of one sect, or a joint conspiracy by several major Demonic Sects."
The Sage of Poetry nodded: "I have investigated some, but unfortunately, these people are very clever. After destroying a sect, they dispose of all the corpses, making it difficult to identify the evil art or the sect based on the state of the bodies. However, I still suspect the Profound Yin Palace."
"What are your insights, Sage?"
The Sage of Poetry said: "Although the scenes were destroyed, there are still some witnesses from various parties. Although these witnesses were not at the internal scenes, some of the situations they observed from the outside seem to point to the Profound Yin Palace."
"Moreover, the Profound Yin Palace has received the blessing of the Myriad Poisons Sect. With the Myriad Poisons Sect's blessing, their poison and hidden weapons, combined with their evil arts and other methods, have given them the confidence and impulse to do this."
"Yes, the Profound Yin Palace has been quite ambitious in recent years. They have done a lot of extermination, especially if they have their eyes on someone with a good treasure, they will definitely be coveted by the Profound Yin Palace."
"Sect Leader, although we can ignore this matter, the people are dissatisfied, and the various major sects are also in a state of panic. As a righteous sect, we should be in charge of such matters. It's just that in recent years, the major sects have become accustomed to turning a blind eye, not wanting to take risks, and doing nothing."
"This old man believes that the Eternal First God Sect does not necessarily have to be the vanguard, but it can gather the major forces and unite everyone's hearts to deal with such Demonic Sects. In doing so, we will also win the hearts of the people."
Xu Fengqiu nodded: "Senior Sage of Poetry is right."
For Xu Fengqiu, this was actually an opportunity.
Why?
Originally, the Profound Yin Palace was his personal grudge.
This kind of personal grudge meant that if he took action, it would be his Eternal First God Sect acting alone.
He could also add Xi Shengyao's royal family.
It would be difficult to have anyone else.
However, this Profound Yin Palace was too arrogant.
Now it could become a crusade against the Profound Yin Palace, which meant there was a reason to gather the major sects to take action together!
In that case, Xu Fengqiu would have almost no pressure.
It could only be said that this was the Profound Yin Palace's own doing.
To take a step back, even if this matter was not done by the Profound Yin Palace.
Xu Fengqiu would also pin this dirty water on the Profound Yin Palace, taking the opportunity to gather the major sects and destroy the Profound Yin Palace.
Xu Fengqiu then said: "Regarding this matter, this Emperor will consider it carefully. As for this matter, please do not mention it to anyone."
"Yes."
"Mm."
Xu Fengqiu then walked out.
Xu Fengqiu returned to the courtyard.
By chance, Xi Shengyao and her sisters also returned.
Xi Shengyao was very concerned about the Profound Yin Palace.
The main reason she went out was to hear what the people were saying, or to determine whether the Profound Yin Palace was responsible for this matter.
"I don't know who spread it, but it seems that everyone now believes that the Profound Yin Palace is the mastermind behind the recent turmoil in the Nine Provinces,"
Han Rui muttered.
"Well, other Demonic Sects are also possible, but for now, the Profound Yin Palace cannot escape responsibility,"
Lin Qingzhu also said.
"Young Master Xu."
Han Rui waved her hand with a smile to greet him.
"Regarding this matter, what are people saying outside?"
Xu Fengqiu asked.
"It's just…"
Han Rui babbled on.
Xu Fengqiu nodded and looked at Xi Shengyao.
Xi Shengyao said: "It's like this… I can basically confirm that the Profound Yin Palace is responsible for this matter."
"Oh?"
Xi Shengyao said: "As early as a month ago, I had already sent people to investigate this matter. A few days ago, when the Heavenly Profound Gate was destroyed, my people caught one of the stragglers. Under interrogation, it was confirmed that he was a member of the Profound Yin Palace, but he couldn't be sure if all the events were caused by the Profound Yin Palace. He was just following orders from above, going wherever he was told to go."
Han Rui took another look at Xi Shengyao.
An eighth-level Heavenly Emperor.
She had done such a thing, which meant she was more concerned about this matter than anyone else.
"That is to say, it can be confirmed that this matter is at least inextricably linked to the Profound Yin Palace. As for whether they did it all, it doesn't matter anymore,"
Xu Fengqiu said.
"Mm."
Xi Shengyao nodded, her beautiful eyes looking at Xu Fengqiu.
"Hey, hey, Qingzhu, Xiaoli, come here, come here."
Han Rui beckoned Lin Qingzhu and Xiaoli away.
She looked a little careless.
But she was very thoughtful.
She could see that Xu Fengqiu and Xi Shengyao might have something to talk about.
Although it didn't necessarily have to be now.
But it was okay for her to simply call them away.
After they left, Xu Fengqiu said: "I plan to gather the major sects and go to destroy the Profound Yin Palace."
Xi Shengyao said: "In fact, this matter may be something the Profound Yin Palace absolutely did not expect, and it is their own fault."
Originally, it was the Eternal First God Sect going alone.
But now, they gave them a chance.
Then it didn't necessarily have to be one family going.
Xu Fengqiu had made so many preparations that he might not even need to use much of them.
He could continue to keep them in reserve for the Immortal Palace battle.
"But the key now is to persuade the major sects."
Xi Shengyao said: "This lineup may not be bad. If the Profound Yin Palace is defeated, it is not good news for other Demonic Sects. If the Profound Yin Palace is destroyed, other Demonic Sects will have more opportunities for development, but it will be more difficult for them to resist the righteous sects. They will be more cautious in the future. Therefore, there is still a great possibility that we may face more than just one Profound Yin Palace."
Xu Fengqiu said: "It depends on how many people and how many forces we mobilize. When there are enough forces, they will not join forces."
