"kill!"
Xiaoyun Temple officially entered the fray, and Su Lin no longer went into seclusion. He personally led his disciples to fight outside, verifying his cultivation accumulation and insights over the past hundred years in the battle.
Within a month, Xiaoyun Temple swiftly and decisively killed several minor sects with whom it had long-standing conflicts.
Su Lin remained low-key, and most of the sects he destroyed were only Nascent Soul sects. In terms of cultivator level, they were not much different from Xiaoyun Temple, but their foundations were much weaker.
On the surface, these sects were on par with Xiaoyun Temple, so their destruction was to be expected.
However, with the fate of Xiaoyun Temple, many large sects also cast malicious glances at it, pondering the possibility of annexing it.
After all, Xiaoyun Temple only has a strong deterrent effect on non-large sects, but in the face of truly large sects, there is still a gap in top-level combat power on the surface.
Every large sect has at least a Void Realm cultivator, and may even have one or two Integration Realm cultivators and Mahayana Realm cultivators.
Once these powerful cultivators make their move, the strongest cultivator in the entire Xiaoyun Temple is only a Nascent Soul cultivator, who is simply unable to resist.
Although the cultivators of Xiaoyun Temple generally have relatively low cultivation levels, their foundation is quite extraordinary.
Over the past century, it has been clear to all discerning people that Xiaoyun Temple's foundation is in no way inferior to that of ordinary major sects, and even shows a tendency to surpass the foundation of all large sects.
Isn't this just a case of the weak finding treasure, posing little threat but yielding high returns?
But who would have thought that in the same month that Xiaoyun Temple made its move, when the first major sect sent a powerful cultivator to secretly approach Xiaoyun Temple, they witnessed Tian Shu cultivators constantly entering and leaving Xiaoyun Temple.
After observing the situation in secret, these powerful cultivators were greatly alarmed and fled. They dared not launch a surprise attack on Xiaoyun Temple and instead continued to observe.
Soon, the news arrived!
These Tian Shu cultivators are all cultivators from the Tianya Mountain camp. They are all Tian Shu cultivators who are still remaining outside the four major immortal sects and are trying to maintain the old rules of the world.
Although there weren't many, their cultivation levels were quite high. Among them were three Mahayana cultivators, six Integration cultivators, twelve Void cultivators, and nearly a hundred Celestial Pivot cultivators below the Void level.
In the current global situation, these Tian Shu cultivators are in an awkward position outside the siege.
They are expected to use the old rules to govern the world, but they only have so many people and are powerless to govern all the sects under heaven. Even if they were to try to govern, they could only govern some places and could not govern the whole world.
But to ask them to ignore all that and participate in the siege... frankly, they wouldn't be of any use in the siege anyway.
The current siege has not yet reached the mid-stage intensity; it is still the domain of cultivators who have transcended tribulation. Cultivators below the tribulation level would only be cannon fodder.
Moreover, with powerful cultivators from eight sects gathered to oversee the siege, these hundred-odd people would be of no use and wouldn't be of much help.
Both sides of the two immortal sects' Tian Shu cultivators were in such an awkward situation.
In fact, the situation of the Tian Shu cultivators on Chang Shen Palace's side is better. After all, Chang Shen Palace has been severely damaged, and the Tian Shu cultivators who were stranded there have long been summoned by Chang Shen Palace to join the siege battle to replenish their combat strength. The other three major immortal sects in this camp have also recalled Tian Shu cultivators to assist Chang Shen Palace.
After all, the war has only just begun, and to lose such a large force of a celestial sect is absolutely unacceptable. We must not allow the Myriad Laws Universe Pavilion to become complacent.
The different arrangements of the two camps directly resulted in the fact that after half a year, only the Tianya Mountain camp's Tian Shu cultivators remained in the outside world.
It was at this time that, caught between the two major immortal sects, Xiaoyun Temple finally revealed its preference and trust in Tianya Mountain. After frequent secret contacts, it was finally decided that Xiaoyun Temple would become the temporary base for the remaining Tianshu cultivators.
At the same time, Xiaoyun Temple will temporarily assume the responsibility of "maintaining the order of the old era" and will lead these remaining Tian Shu cultivators to enforce the law throughout the world!
Xiaoyun Temple already possessed all the resources of a large sect, but lacked top-tier combat power. The addition of these Tian Shu cultivators perfectly filled the last gap in Xiaoyun Temple's strength!
In this way, Xiaoyun Temple transformed itself from a neutral party into a representative of the interests of the nine major immortal sects.
That's right, they are the representatives of the nine major immortal sects!
After all, the Heavenly Pivot Order of the old era was an order system that was jointly accepted and recognized by the nine immortal sects. Even if the nine sects have now broken off relations, it is an internal matter of the immortal sects. What does it have to do with these outside sects?
Given the Nine Sects' arrogant nature, they looked down on these non-immortal sects and would never allow them to sit at the table for a meal.
However, due to the ongoing siege, they were unable to devote much energy to governance. Fortunately, Xiaoyun Temple appeared and solved their current dilemma: the siege had to be fought, but the face and prestige of the Immortal Sect also had to be maintained!
Even if the old order is destined to be broken, it should be broken by the Immortal Sect itself. How can we let non-Immortal Sect forces take the lead in this matter?
What a joke! The actions of your sects and families are the version of an uprising in the cultivation world!
Every uprising must be suppressed!
This is an unspoken rule tacitly agreed upon by the Nine Sects. Therefore, when Xiaoyun Temple once again took up its banner, no matter how hostile the Nine Sects were, they at least had an astonishing tacit understanding regarding Xiaoyun Temple, as if they had started a siege together.
Even though the Nine Sects forbid Xiaoyun Temple members from eating at the table, they absolutely do not mind if Xiaoyun Temple members come to help them with hard labor and share their burdens.
The sect's plan was clear: let Xiaoyun Temple suppress all the sects in the world, watch the various factions fight each other, and when the eight sects finalized the beneficiaries of the new order, then conveniently eliminate or subdue Xiaoyun Temple, the meritorious sect.
Look!
It's such a simple thing!
All the sects under heaven would love for the immortal sects to fight to the death, but the immortal sects are well aware of this as well. They also hope that amidst the chaos of the world, the sects will fight each other to some extent, thus preparing for the final battle to come.
