Wanshou Sect, meeting hall.

Sect leader Li Tiankuang's wrinkled face was first filled with shock, and then a hint of joy that was hard to conceal emerged.

"Is the news true?"

Li Tiankuang's voice trembled, but it was not because of worry, but because of the excitement that he could not suppress.

The disciples kneeling in the hall had their foreheads pressed against the ground.

"It's absolutely true. I personally witnessed the imperial guards redeploying overnight. The divine energy above the imperial city was in turmoil, a sign of the shattering of the divine nature!"

Li Tian stood up suddenly, his wide robe fluttering without wind.

He turned and looked at the other six elders in the hall. There was a glint of ambition in each of their eyes.

"Everyone, Su Qinghuang used his ancient godhood to suppress us and establish the Tianyan Dynasty.

Now that her divine nature is shattered, it is a golden opportunity for my Myriad Beast Sect!"

Second Elder Chi Yangzi's beard trembled with excitement: "Su Qinghuang's position was not legitimate. If we take this opportunity to unite with other sects, we will definitely overthrow the Tianyan Dynasty!"

The ground in the hall suddenly shook, and a three-eyed demon wolf broke out of the ground, crawling obediently at Li Tiankuang's feet.

The Ten Thousand Beasts Sect has been waiting for this moment for too long. Since the day they were expelled to the wilderness, they have been secretly breeding ferocious beasts in order to one day massacre the imperial city.

Li Tiankuang took out a beast seal from the animal skin bag at his waist. The seal was engraved with the pattern of the ancient ferocious beast Taotie.

"Everyone, follow me to the Tianyan Dynasty immediately."

…

At the same time, the main hall of the Blood Demon Sect was covered in scarlet.

After listening to the spy's report, Sect Leader Xue Wuhen suddenly laughed out loud, his laughter making the blood bells on the pillars of the hall jingle.

"Hahahaha...that bitch Su Qinghuang has finally met her end!"

Xue Wuhen crushed the skull wine glass in his hand, and the blood-like wine dripped down his pale fingers.

"Pass my order, all branch leaders must come to the headquarters immediately for a meeting!"

The deputy sect leader's eyes flashed with blood: "Sect Leader, could this be a trap? Su Qinghuang is very cunning, be careful of her tricks."

Xue Wuhen kicked over the table in front of him and said coldly.

"The battle between the Territory Lords cannot be faked. The vision of the shattered godhead can be seen throughout the world. Gather all the Blood Demon Guards immediately. I will make the Tianyan Dynasty flow like a river of blood!"

In less than an hour, the eighteen branch leaders gathered in the Blood Pond Hall.

Xue Wuhen sat on a throne made of skulls, his whole body emitting a strong smell of blood.

"Brothers! Now that Su Qinghuang is seriously injured and dying, it is time for our Blood Demon Sect to rise!"

"Bloodbath of the Dynasty!"

The branch leaders roared in anger, and some were so excited that they even cut their wrists and spilled their blood into the central blood pool, stirring up waves of scarlet spray.

Xue Wuhen looked at his fanatical subordinates with satisfaction and continued to incite them.

"Pass on my Blood Demon Order and gather all disciples. I will personally lead the Blood Demon Army to attack the Imperial City!"

He turned to the deputy sect leader and said, "Take a team of elite soldiers and go to the border to create chaos and attract the attention of the imperial army. Remember, no one should be left alive!"

The deputy sect leader licked his lips and said, "I understand."

The pool of blood was boiling, reflecting the distorted faces in the hall.

The bloodthirsty desire that had been suppressed for many years by the Blood Demon Sect was completely released. They didn't care about the change of power, they just wanted to kill as much as they wanted in this chaos.

…

Jiange, the top of Wanjian Peak.

Pavilion Master Xiao Wuchen stood on the edge of the cliff with his hands behind his back. A strange look flashed across his handsome face, but he quickly regained his composure.

“Is the source of this information reliable?”

Xiao Wuchen's voice was cold and clear, and no emotion could be heard.

An elder respectfully replied, "Pavilion Master, the news came from our accomplices in the Imperial City, who witnessed with their own eyes the Zichen Palace being placed under martial law overnight."

Xiao Wuchen gently stroked the jade sword at his waist, his gaze fixed on the outline of the imperial city in the distance.

"It seems that Su Qinghuang's condition is worse than imagined."

He turned and walked towards the Jiange Hall, his steps calm but swift.

"Gather all the elders and core disciples to discuss matters after one stick of incense. Also, have the sword guards lurking in the capital prepared."

Inside the hall, thirty-six ancient swords were hung from the ceiling, emitting a sinister aura.

Xiao Wuchen sat in the main seat, and below him were the twelve elders and seventy-two core disciples.

"Everyone," Xiao Wuchen's voice was low but clear to everyone's ears, "Empress Su Qinghuang's divine nature has been shattered and she has been seriously injured. As an important pillar of the dynasty, our Sword Pavilion should express our concern."

Third Elder Jian Wuchen frowned, "Pavilion Master, do we really want to continue to serve an empress who has lost her godhood? Without her ancient godhood, how can she continue to rule the Xuandan Divine Realm?"

Xiao Wuchen smiled faintly, "Elder Jian, you're wrong. The Empress has done us a favor, so naturally we should express our concern." He changed the subject, "However, the dynasty is in turmoil, and we do need someone to step forward to stabilize the situation."

The eldest disciple Leng Xinghe understood: "Master, I am willing to lead a team of elite swordsmen to the Imperial City to protect the safety of the Empress."

Xiao Wuchen nodded.

"The safety of the Imperial City is of great importance. We really need to strengthen our defenses. Xinghe, take the thirty-six Heavenly Sword Guards with you."

Leng Xinghe nodded his head, but a hint of understanding flashed in his eyes.

Once it is confirmed that the empress is powerless to save the situation, Jiange will be able to seize power in the name of stabilizing the situation.

…

The main hall of the Netherworld Palace is located in a Netherworld Cave a thousand feet underground, never seeing the sun all year round.

Palace Master Ye Lan was like a blurry black shadow, quietly listening to the spy's report.

"Is the news confirmed?" Ye Lan's voice was erratic, as if coming from all directions.

The spy knelt on one knee, not daring to look up.

"I have confirmed that there have been unusual movements in the Sword Pavilion, the Blood Demon Sect, and the Myriad Beast Sect."

Ye Lan was silent for a moment, and suddenly let out a creepy laugh.

"I must obtain the true situation of Su Qinghuang at all costs. I also want to know the actions of the other three major sects."
