When Gao Yan and Yin Yutong arrived at the main hall of the true teachings, a large group of true disciples had already gathered there.
Standing at the very front were the seven holy sons and holy daughters: Xiahou Jian, Xiahou Meng, Nangong Yao, Zhang Tianfan, Zhang Youyou, Zhao Longya, and Long Xiaoyu.
Although they are also holy sons and daughters, they are also true disciples.
Just like student union officers in colleges and universities.
Slightly behind the seven Holy Sons and Holy Daughters were the elite disciples from the five major families within the Nine Saints Sect. Among them, Xiao Yanran from the Xiao family and Shangguan Teng from the Shangguan family were the most dazzling. Both of them had already broken through to the Nascent Soul stage. If these two families hadn't been temporarily ineligible to participate in the selection of Holy Sons and Holy Daughters, they would definitely have been among the Holy Sons and Holy Daughters.
Slightly behind these two is Ling Xiao of the Ling family, whose cultivation has reached the ninth level of the Nascent Soul stage, but he has not yet reached his peak, and is slightly inferior to Nangong Yao and Xiahou Meng.
But he is only a little over 150 years old, and he may reach the Nascent Soul stage at the age of 200. His cultivation potential is higher than that of Nangong Yao and Xiahou Meng, and he is on par with Xiahou Jian.
Behind them were the disciples of the various true elders, and Gao Yan and Yin Yutong were also standing among this group.
The disciples of the True Elder number in the thousands.
Among them, nearly two hundred have reached the Nascent Soul level, while the rest have reached the Golden Core level, and most of them are at least at the third level of the Golden Core.
After that, they become ordinary disciples of the true lineage.
Ordinary true disciples almost always get promoted through channels like outer sect to inner sect, and inner sect to true disciple, because their aptitude is limited.
After reaching the Golden Core stage, they had almost exhausted their cultivation potential.
Therefore, after reaching the Golden Core stage, their cultivation speed is very slow. Not to mention Nascent Soul experts, even high-level Golden Core cultivators are rare.
Normally, such a large gathering of true disciples would surely lead to lively conversation, but at this moment, although a large number of cultivators were gathered in the True Disciple Hall, not a single person spoke, and everyone's expression was quite serious.
The flow of time.
The time has come for the wooden bell to ring for half an hour.
An elder in black robes arrived with three other elders in white robes.
Then, led by the seven holy sons and daughters, the disciples bowed to the four elders.
"Junior brother, the one in black robes is Elder Wan Zizhong, who has reached the third level of the Void Realm. Even he has appeared, so it seems that this matter is not ordinary!"
Yin Yutong transmitted her voice to Gao Yan.
"Third level of Dongxu?"
Gao Yan's expression tightened slightly.
Afterwards, Yin Yutong introduced him to three other Nascent Soul elders via telepathy. These three Nascent Soul elders were also quite powerful, one at the eighth level of Nascent Soul and two at the seventh level of Nascent Soul!
"Disciples of the true lineage, I have gathered you here today for two main reasons. First, the true lineage elder Zhao Qingxiu was ambushed by the Xuanming Sect and unfortunately perished."
Upon hearing this, the entire audience erupted in uproar.
Yin Yutong quickly transmitted her voice to Gao Yan, introducing Zhao Qingxiu's situation. This Elder Zhao Qingxiu was only a little over a thousand years old, but she possessed the strength of the sixth level of the Nascent Soul stage.
She has made many contributions to the Nine Saints Sect and is also one of the elders who is expected to break through to the Void Realm.
Although the Nine Saints Sect has many Nascent Soul cultivators, the birth of each Nascent Soul cultivator requires a great deal of resources and effort, not to mention the sixth level of Nascent Soul cultivation.
Therefore, Zhao Qingxiu's death is definitely a huge loss for the Nine Saints Sect.
Wan Zizhong raised his hand, silencing the crowd: "We are deeply saddened by the fall of Elder Zhao Qingxiu. Therefore, the Elder Council has issued a killing order to eliminate the Xuanming Sect. Elder Song will now announce the detailed rewards of the killing order!"
Then, Elder Song, who was at the eighth level of the Nascent Soul stage, stepped forward and announced the reward rules for the Killing Order.
The killing order targets the true disciples of the Xuanming Sect.
Killing a Golden Core cultivator at levels one through three will reward you with 100,000 sect contribution points; killing a Golden Core cultivator at levels four through six will reward you with 200,000 contribution points; and killing a Golden Core cultivator at levels seven through nine will reward you with 500,000 contribution points.
Killing a Nascent Soul cultivator at levels one to three will reward you with 1 million contribution points; killing a Nascent Soul cultivator at levels four to six will reward you with 2 million contribution points; and killing a Nascent Soul cultivator at levels seven to nine will reward you with 5 million contribution points!
In addition, during the period when the Kill Order is in effect, the top ten people who make the most contributions can choose either a low-grade cultivation technique or a low-grade spiritual treasure.
The top three winners can choose either a Heaven-rank cultivation technique or a mid-grade spiritual treasure.
To be honest, Gao Yan wasn't interested in the so-called contributions or techniques.
However, he was quite interested in mid-grade spiritual treasures.
He had originally planned to coast along, but suddenly found himself motivated to take the top three.
Gao Yan, however, had some doubts.
The true disciples of the Xuanming Sect are all within the sect itself, so how easy would it be to kill them?
Fortunately, the Nine Saints Sect had also taken this situation into consideration.
They will use a secret realm as bait to lure the true disciples of the Xuanming Sect into it, where they will engage in a fierce battle.
After leaving the main hall of the true teachings.
Gao Yan couldn't help but ask, "Senior Sister, since the sect has already used the secret realm as bait, why not just ambush a Nascent Soul cultivator within the secret realm and kill all the true disciples of the Xuanming Sect!"
Yin Yutong explained, "Junior brother, you may not know this, but in our Eastern Wilderness, the nine great immortal sects have an agreement that those above the Nascent Soul stage cannot arbitrarily attack those below the Nascent Soul stage!"
"I understand. As long as they don't provoke those below the Nascent Soul stage, they can't attack them, right?"
Yin Yutong nodded: "But it's not absolute. Although we can't kill openly, we can still assassinate. Assassinating one or two people is definitely not a problem, but assassinating too many is not good. Take us and the Xuanming Sect for example. Without this agreement, as long as we send a few Nascent Soul cultivators to lie in wait, and kill one true disciple as soon as one appears, then our respective true disciples will not be able to leave the sect. Moreover, the situation is too serious and may even trigger a war between the two sects. If there were only two immortal sects in the Eastern Wilderness, it wouldn't matter. But the key is that there are seven other sects. Once a war breaks out, it will result in both sides being injured, and the other seven sects will still benefit."
