"Why are you looking at me like that? Anyway, everyone is pursuing the Great Dao. Where you cultivate doesn't matter. Why care about so many details?" Fang Ruotang's twisted logic somewhat persuaded Jiang Wangzhou.

Isn't that right?

The Tianyi Sect established the Sword Pavilion, which was managed by him and his junior sister Yuan Zhao. The disciples in the pavilion were the same as before, so it seemed that there was really no difference.

"By the way, could you contact your Supreme Elder and tell him to stop chasing after this Qin Ancestor and come back to me if he wants to break through to the Mahayana stage? I'll help him."

"Is this true?" Jiang Wangzhou's heart tightened. If so, he wouldn't be afraid of the Supreme Elder skinning him alive when he returned.

"It's true, if others have it, our Tianyi Sect must have it too. The Qin family has an ancestor at the Mahayana stage, how can our Tianyi Sect not have one!"

Fang Ruotang spoke with conviction, even casting a glance at Jiang Wangzhou.

"You know what I mean, right?"

"……Understand!"

It's about getting their Supreme Elders to willingly join the Heavenly Sect!

That's fine too.

Since even the Supreme Elder has joined the Tianyi Sect, he is just a junior, and the situation forces him to do so. I believe the world can understand.

Jiang Wangzhou's initial inner conflict quickly dissipated; as long as there were higher-ups above him, he wouldn't have to bear any responsibility.

Moreover, if the Supreme Elder were to submit, it would be for his own personal spiritual advancement.

His surrender was for the sake of the lives of all the cabinet members.

Compared to others, he is at least a little more noble.

After thinking it over, Jiang Wangzhou completely let it go, giving it no chance to become a mental demon and affect his cultivation.

"I will contact the Supreme Elder right now."

Jiang Wangzhou took out a sound transmission talisman.

A cold, clear voice came from the other side after a while.

"What is it?"

"Elder, there is something I would like to report to you."

"explain!"

“The female disciple I took in earlier turned out to be a demonic cultivator. She drew a huge ancient demonic array throughout the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion.”

"You're still alive?"

The Supreme Elder's words struck Jiang Wangzhou to the core.

He knew that none of the disciples of the Ten Thousand Swords Pavilion had studied formations, and this was a demonic formation left over from ancient times.

There is no other way but to be drained dry and die a miserable death.

Moreover, being trapped inside the formation, there's no way to contact him.

So they must have had a miraculous encounter.

"We were rescued by the Tianyi Sect. Their condition for rescuing us was that our Wanjian Pavilion be incorporated into their sect."

Supreme Elder: ...

"They said they want you to come to Tianyi Sect and continue to be a Supreme Elder."

“……%……%%……￥￥*&……&……” A beautiful, encrypted message emerged from the sound transmission stone.

Jiang Wangzhou, looking pale, quietly moved the communication stone a little further away.

After the Supreme Elder finished scolding, Jiang Wangzhou explained in a low voice, "I had no choice at the time. No one could break the formation. I couldn't just watch the entire sect be drained dry by the demonic formation!"

"If you're afraid of death, then so be it. How dare you say such things? From this day forward, you are no longer a disciple of the Myriad Swords Pavilion. On behalf of my senior brother, I expel you..."

"Elder," Jiang Wangzhou hurriedly spoke, afraid that the Elder would reveal what was to come, "The Sect Master of Tianyi Sect is the mysterious person who helped Ancestor Qin break through to the Great Ascension stage. The Sect Master said that as long as you agree to join Tianyi Sect, he can help you break through to the Great Ascension stage and guarantee your safety."

The Supreme Elder's beautiful yet cryptic words stopped abruptly, his tone shifting to a gentle one.

"Is the sect leader of Tianyi Sect also here?"

"Here I am."

Jiang Wangzhou glanced at Fang Ruotang.

Fang Ruotang came closer and just then heard the Supreme Elder say in a warm voice, "Sect Master, it is a pleasure to join the Tianyi Sect. I hope we can work together to strengthen our sect in the future."

"Great! Welcome to the Tianyi Sect!"

"It is my honor! Will the Sect Master be staying at the Myriad Swords Pavilion these next few days?"

"Yes, do you want to come over? Let's meet and get to know each other so we don't bump into each other on the street and not recognize each other."

"Yes, Sect Master, wait a moment, I'll be right back."

The Supreme Elder packed his things and set off immediately.

He also stopped asking the Qin family patriarch how she had managed to break through to the Mahayana stage.

Jiang Wangzhou put away the communication stone with a complicated expression.

The Supreme Elder was so unfamiliar to him that he found him frightening.

"Alright! Now that the Supreme Elder has submitted to our Tianyi Sect, there shouldn't be any problems, right? Get us some temporary resting places, and you should also sort things out as soon as possible. Ask everyone who needs to leave to leave." After Fang Ruotang finished speaking, she put away the defensive golden shield.

Shishi and the others then came out.

Fang Ruotang introduced them to each other.

Jin Wuyou and the others are all quick-witted people who can see things clearly.

She took the initiative to say to Jiang Wangzhou, "Second Elder, I am an outer sect steward of Tianyi Sect. Please give me your guidance on the handover process."

Jiang Wangzhou didn't quite understand what Jin Wuyou meant.

But he didn't understand this for long, because he soon discovered that this slender woman with low cultivation was like a mythical creature, wanting to embrace everything.

Whenever he hesitated even for a moment, Jin Wuyou would ask him with a smile.

"Didn't the Myriad Swords Pavilion merge into my Heavenly One Sect? Then these properties that originally belonged to the Myriad Swords Pavilion should also belong to my Heavenly One Sect."

Jin Wuyou was just short of saying that these were all spoils of war.

Fortunately, Jin Wuyou was sensible. When he asked for severance pay for his disciples, Jin Wuyou did not object. Moreover, after discussing it with him, the amount he gave was much, much better than he had expected.

Fang Ruotang remained silent, simply watching the show unfold.

As I watched, I couldn't help but feel sorry for Jiang Wangzhou.

I don't know what Jin Wuyou was so moved about, using the resources of Wanjian Pavilion to pay severance to the former disciples of Wanjian Pavilion.

Their Tianyi Sect didn't contribute a single coin!

[That's normal. People who walk the path of sword cultivation are generally straightforward and decisive. When faced with a problem, they'll fight if they disagree. Their life motto is: "My sword is justice." Of course, this only applies to those weaker than them. If a stronger person comes along, like you, you'll see how quickly they'll be defeated.]

Fang Ruotang could tell.

Sword cultivators are simple-minded.

Especially a few days later, when Jin Wuyou complained to her that all the businesses under the Wanjian Pavilion were actually in a state of negative profit, she was very surprised.

It's not so easy to make all industries lose money, is it?

At least, Jin Wuyou felt that making money was more difficult than in any other industry.

The Supreme Elder returned that day, while the Mahayana cultivators broke through that night. The thunderclouds were equally terrifying, and the Supreme Elder was on high alert.

Over the years, he has collected many magical artifacts. Although the dozen or so lightning bolts ahead were dangerous, he passed through them smoothly.

But after the twentieth level, his defensive magic artifact broke, and his magic robe was also torn; he clearly couldn't hold on any longer.
