Chapter 524 - 523: Destruction of the Qian Family in the Outer Realm
"One!" The voice of Yu Qingtan's avatar, Sect Hierarch Qing, echoed over the skies of Great Qian Immortal City, cold and resolute, without a hint of wavering.
The senior members of the Qian Family exchanged glances, their eyes flashing with complex emotions—reluctance, anger, despair, and a trace of lingering hope.
"Two!" As the second number fell, the Protective Array of Great Qian Immortal City started to operate frenziedly, attempting to repair the gap torn by the Sixth Stage Breaking Array Talisman.
However, it was futile; the power of the Breaking Array Talisman had already deeply embedded itself into the core of the Formation, and all the Qian Family could do was to delay their inevitable defeat.
"Members of the Qian Family, heed my command! Today is the moment of life and death for our Qian Family, and we must not sit idly by waiting for death! Whether it's for our family's honor or for our friends and loved ones, we must fight to the death!" Hongtian Venerable, the eldest member who normally dealt with the family affairs, bellowed.
Following Hongtian Venerable's command, the senior members of the Qian Family brought out their Magical Treasures, their Spiritual Power surging, forming powerful waves of attacks that swept towards the members of the Sect of Commoners.
Everyone from the Qian Family knew that if they chose to surrender without a fight, millennia of the Qian Family's foundation would be destroyed in an instant, and they, the high and mighty Divine Transformation Venerables and Nascent Soul True Monarchs, would become prisoners.
"Three! A sea of flames reaches the sky, Spatial Confinement!" Sect Hierarch Qing's mouth curled into a cold smirk, her voice like the sentence of the Grim Reaper. With a wave of her delicate hand, a boundless Fire Domain enveloped the skies above the Qian Family, infused with the Power of the Principle of Fire.
Simultaneously, a Daoist Space Imprisonment Technique, containing the Power of the Space Law, unfolded, instantly freezing the advancing senior members of the Qian Family in place, their eyes filled with terror as they were engulfed by the sea of flames.
Under the Sect Hierarch Qing's terrifying sea of flames and Spatial Confinement, infused with the Power of Laws, it seemed as though a portal to hell had been torn open in the skies above Great Qian Immortal City. The roaring flames mixed with the aura of destruction enveloped all the high-level members of the Qian Family. Those usually imposing Divine Transformation Venerables and Nascent Soul True Monarchs now seemed so insignificant and helpless.
"No! This cannot be!" Hongtian Venerable let out a desperate roar in his heart; he exhausted all his strength trying to break free from the constraints of space, but the Spatial Confinement was like an invisible prison, firmly locking him and the surrounding senior members of the Qian Family in place. He watched helplessly as his Spiritual Power gradually dissipated in the sea of flames, his skin charred by the high temperature, releasing bursts of foul odor, his heart filled with regret and resentment.
True Lord Mengde of the Qian Family was also not spared; he still had the Qian Family's ancestral secret treasures on him, powerful enough to withstand the attacks of dozens of Divine Transformation Venerables, but tragically, there was no longer any opportunity to use them. Just at the Nascent Soul Stage, he was as helpless as a baby under Yu Qingtan's Power of Laws.
"You demon, you will definitely not die well, not die well at all!" From beneath the sea of flames, True Monarch Yongwei, Mengde's beloved daughter, smelling the aroma of flesh above, teared blood from the corners of her eyes and hoarsely cursed at Yu Qingtan.
However, Sect Hierarch Qing was not moved by this at all. She watched all these events coldly, her heart void of any mercy. In her view, the destruction of the Qian Family of the Outer Realm today was merely a settlement of their past misdeeds, an inevitable result of the Cultivation World's principle of survival of the fittest and the supremacy of the strong.
For this former third-ranked True Monarch Yongwei of the Hundred Flowers List from the Eastern Region, Yu Qingtan's mind flickered, and she split a flame from the sea of flames, rapidly shooting towards her.
Soon, in Yu Qingtan's sea of flames, both the senior members of the Qian Family and Qian Yongwei were reduced to ashes, leaving only the Storage Rings that Yu Qingtan had intentionally left behind, quietly suspended in the air.
At this time, the ordinary disciples and family members of the Qian Family were fleeing in all directions, trying to find a way to escape. However, Saintess Shen and other senior members of the Sect of Commoners had already set up a tight net of capture, rendering their struggles futile.
Moreover, Yu Qingtan's Blood Dao had reached the Third Level Origin, and under the effect of the Bloodline Tracking Technique, not a single member of the Qian Family could escape from the pursuit of the Sect of Commoners.
Even the Qin Family, closely associated with Qian Family, could not escape the purge by the Congregation of Life.
These people, under the strict pursuit of the Congregation of Life, if someone dared to resist, were killed on the spot. Those who surrendered were interrogated with the Truth Talisman; those found guilty of wrongdoings were summarily executed.
Those who had done no evil were not simply released, but confined, stripped of all cultivation resources, and forbidden from having offspring, until their natural deaths.
With that, the Qian Family, the prime family of the Outer Realm that had dominated the Eastern Region for hundreds of thousands of years, was permanently expelled from the Cultivation World.
After dealing with the Qian Family of the Outer Realm, Yu Qingtan also issued a gag order to the various clans of the Outer Realm, instructing that for the next fifty years, the existences from the Outer Realm of the Fifth Stage who traveled to the Central Domain must not reveal the news of the extermination of the Qian Family to either the Qian Family of the Central Domain or any other power.
Subsequently, Sect Hierarch Qingtan, having organized the matters of the Congregation Alliance, entered the Central Domain from the passage of the Cangqiong Sword Sect, accompanied by Shen Wanning, Feng Wuyue, and Diwu Tianfeng.
By then, Diwu Tianfeng had already reached the Divine Transformation Late Stage. The Cangqiong Sword Sect was an Emperor Sovereign Level force in the Central Domain, and the passageway from the Outer Realm to the Central Domain exited within the heartland of the Cangqiong Sword Sect's area of influence; hence, it was unguarded.
Upon arriving in the Central Domain, Diwu Tianfeng immediately used a long-distance communication method to inform Emperor Wu Di, following the arrangement made by Sect Hierarch Qingtan, as Emperor Wu Di was aware of the circumstances of both the real body and the avatar of Yu Qingtan entering the Central Domain consecutively.
At the request of Sect Hierarch Qingtan, Emperor Wu Di arranged quarters within Yao Guang Immortal City, under the jurisdiction of Cangqiong Sword Sect in the Central Domain, for Sect Hierarch Qingtan, Feng Wuyue, and Shen Wanning, as a place for secluded cultivation.
"Fairy Qingtan, how are your affairs within the Nether Illusion Domain?" Emperor Wu Di asked, once they were settled.
Before entering the Central Domain, Sect Hierarch Qingtan had roughly informed Shen Wanning, Feng Wuyue, and Diwu Tianfeng about her situation, as they were all trustworthy friends.
"Don't worry, I have already gained the preliminary trust of the Nether Emperor Sovereign, and I will find a way to escape soon. For now, let's focus on cultivating peacefully here!" Sect Hierarch Qingtan replied with a smile.
"That's good. You all cultivate in peace, and contact me anytime if you need something!" Emperor Wu Di said.
After talking for a while, Emperor Wu Di returned to the Cangqiong Sword Sect in the Central Domain with Diwu Tianfeng. The trio of Sect Hierarch Qingtan continued staying in the Yao Guang Immortal City.
Firstly, Sect Hierarch Qingtan set up several Protective Arrays around their residence, then planted the Five-Star Ascension Tree in the small courtyard and nourished it with Five Elements Spirit Crystals.
As the Five-Star Ascension Tree gradually took root in the courtyard, the surrounding air seemed to become fresher and more vibrant. The soft light emitted by the Five Elements Spirit Crystals buried beneath its roots interwove with the tree's body to create dazzling patterns, like the most exquisite artwork of nature.
Under the influence of the Five Elements Spirit Crystals, the Five-Star Ascension Tree became incredibly active, visibly growing, and its aura becoming thicker and more mysterious.
