For a time, the entire Nine Provinces were discussing this matter.
However, the major sects were not truly happy about it in their hearts.
Indeed, this matter had been occurring for months, and no sect had attacked the Profound Yin Palace or any other demonic sect.
They were all worried about the risks and didn't want to bear the consequences.
They remained inactive.
However, Xu Fengqiu took action.
But how did the major powers speak of Xu Fengqiu?
They said that he annihilated so many sects, not even sparing children.
In reality, he was a ruthless and cruel person.
Such a person, such a power, could never be considered a truly righteous sect.
But…
What had these righteous sects done?
In the end, Xu Fengqiu was the one acting.
Wasn't it laughable?
Wasn't it a slap in the face?
As far as the common people were concerned,
they didn't care which god-level powers existed in the Nine Provinces, which top sects there were, or who had risen to prominence.
They only cared about their own ordinary lives.
When they encountered danger, they needed martial artists to help solve it.
This was also the duty of the major sects.
But now, these sects were all selfish and self-serving, while Xu Fengqiu was the one who took action.
Immortal Palace.
"This Xu Fengqiu has good methods."
Jun Tianchao said with a solemn expression in the main hall.
"Indeed, good methods. After this matter, regardless of whether he can destroy the Profound Yin Palace, and regardless of his true reasons for attacking the Profound Yin Palace, in the eyes of the people of the Nine Provinces, he, Xu Fengqiu, and the Myriad Ancient First God Sect have instead become the representatives of righteous sects, while we are being criticized."
But who could they blame?
They couldn't blame anyone.
If they had to blame someone, they could only blame themselves.
Then why didn't they take action themselves?
They didn't take action, so they couldn't expect others not to take action either.
"Phoenix Terrace, Myriad Ancient First God Sect, Tang Sect, several great longevity aristocratic families, Heavenly Nether Sacred Ground, the Liyue Empire Royal Family, Divine Machine Gate, and several other emperor-level powers. Adding them all up, it might even approach ten god-level powers. This scale…"
"But thinking carefully, the reason why Xu Fengqiu persuaded so many powers to take action must not be to help Xu Fengqiu achieve personal goals, but for the sake of the Nine Provinces, to eliminate the demonic sects. That's why these powers were able to successfully gather."
"But it's not simple for him to gather so many powers."
"The rest depends on what reinforcements the Profound Yin Palace can get. If the other demonic sects take action… then it's hard to say."
"…"
Profound Yin Palace.
At this moment.
The major powers had already arrived here.
Before they arrived, the people of the Profound Yin Palace still held a glimmer of hope.
What if it wasn't actually their Profound Yin Palace in the end?
Now, they had completely given up hope.
Bei Xuanhai stood there, his face extremely ugly.
"Have they taken action yet?"
"Sect Master, we haven't received any news of their actions yet."
"Damn it!"
Bei Xuanhai cursed.
Wouldn't they not take action?
…
"Sect Master, are we… really not helping?"
"Help?" Immortal Emperor Zhanxian sneered. "Go to your death?"
Then he said, "If it were just the Myriad Ancient First God Sect plus the Tang Sect or something, it wouldn't be much, but don't you see how many powers Xu Fengqiu has gathered this time? Tang Sect, Heavenly Nether Sacred Ground, Phoenix Terrace, Chen Family, Chu Family, Divine Machine Gate, Liyue Empire Royal Family… How can we take action? Isn't that courting death?"
"But Sect Master… Bei Xuanhai is right. If their Profound Yin Palace is destroyed, the power of our entire demonic sect will be like an arm being cut off. If those righteous sects want to attack us, it will be even more difficult for us to resist…"
"That will be later. This Profound Yin Palace obtained the blessing of the Wan Du Sect experts and started massacring everywhere to improve themselves. Did they think of us at that time? They caused the consequences themselves, incurring public anger, and Xu Fengqiu seized the opportunity. Now they think of us? Want us to clean up their mess? Dream on. Do you think I look like a fool? Don't worry, they are all old foxes. With this lineup, no one dares to take action."
"Understood. But this Xu Fengqiu really doesn't play by the rules. Who would have thought he would take action? The Profound Yin Palace is also dumbfounded."
"…"
"Xu Fengqiu, Sect Master Xu."
Bei Xuanhai really didn't want to fight.
Therefore, he still hoped that there could be room for redemption.
"Sect Master Xu, I wonder how my Profound Yin Palace has offended you? Please tell me, Sect Master Xu."
Beside Xu Fengqiu, Xi Shengyao's eyes flashed with killing intent.
She had been looking forward to this day for a long time.
Although in the end, she didn't rely on herself to take revenge.
However, relying on herself, it might really be difficult to do.
Meeting Xu Fengqiu might just be the will of heaven.
And with Xi Shengyao's state of mind was Ning Xi in the Tang Sect camp.
She was truly grateful to Xu Fengqiu for giving her such an opportunity.
Xu Fengqiu said faintly, "It seems that Sect Master Bei still intends to continue playing dumb. It's meaningless. Now that the major powers have already arrived, it's better to talk about conditions than to play dumb."
"Sect Master Xu means that conditions can be discussed?"
"Oh, not really."
Bei Xuanhai clenched his fists.
"Sect Master Xu, you and I mind our own business, why is this necessary? Let's all take a step back. Sect Master Xu, everyone, you can say whatever conditions you have."
Xu Fengqiu said, "I agree, but everyone else doesn't agree."
Tang Jingyu said indifferently, "We have already grasped clear evidence of the Profound Yin Palace's massacre of villages and sects within the borders of the five great empires in recent months! In the past, if you were more low-key, then it would have been fine, but now you are so arrogant, you simply don't put us in your eyes."
"Some people turn a blind eye, remain inactive, and are afraid of losses, but there will always be people who will eliminate the Profound Yin Palace and other tumors for the sake of the common people, for the sake of justice! The Profound Yin Palace has incurred public anger and is seeking its own destruction."
"Everyone, have you misunderstood something? The things that have happened in recent months were not done by my Profound Yin Palace."
Xi Shengyao said coldly, "Is that so? Then dare you swear in the name of your ancestors?"
"I, Bei Xuanhai, swear in the name of my ancestors, it was really not done by my Profound Yin Palace."
Xi Shengyao: "It's really sad. If Sect Master Bei's ancestors heard that, they should all be angered to life."
Xi Shengyao then said, "Bring the people over."
Following that, several top experts who were under control were escorted over.
Among them, there was even one whose position in their Profound Yin Palace was pivotal.
Seeing this person, Bei Xuanhai cursed inwardly.
He thought he was doing something, but he was actually caught?
"Your Profound Yin Palace's Thirteenth Elder is in our hands, and Sect Master Bei should be able to guess where we caught him. As for the information we obtained, Sect Master Bei should no longer be able to quibble, right?"
