The Sacred Land of Heaven, inside the Hall of Longevity.
"Sect Master, you must stand up for us."
"Our sect leader was murdered by evil people, and his body has been lost forever."
"The Heavenly Sacred Land is a model for all sects. We beg the sect leader to uphold justice for us and bring the murderers to justice!"
The elders of the Haotian Sect, with tears streaming down their faces, sobbed before a woman seated at the head of the table, dressed in a magnificent down robe, with a noble bearing and a charming face.
The woman was stunningly beautiful, with skin as white as snow and flawless skin. She sat quietly in the chief seat, holding a crystal-clear spirit pet in her arms and gently stroking it.
What's even more eye-catching is a long, slender, fair leg exposed to the air; the gentle caress of it inevitably stirs up all sorts of fantasies.
The woman is Ning Ruoxue, the current sect leader of the Heavenly Absolute Holy Land. Her cultivation level reached the sixth rank of the Selfless Realm a hundred years ago.
Although the woman was beautiful, no one dared to harbor the slightest thought of desecration.
Ning Ruoxue's ability to secure her position as the sect leader of the Heavenly Absolute Holy Land is not solely due to her beautiful appearance.
On the contrary, he was ruthless and extremely protective of his own, and he would stop at nothing to protect the interests of the sect.
More importantly, she is the disciple of the current Xuan Tian Empress. With this status, who would dare to touch her in the slightest?
Today, the people from Haotian Sect have come to visit, naturally because they have come to ask Tianjue Holy Land to intervene regarding the matter of Elder Shen Lingfeng and Sect Master Duanmu Long being harmed by Shen Zhao outside the Four Extremes Mountain Secret Realm.
In addition, many other aristocratic families who had suffered from the reforms of the Yintian Dynasty also sought refuge in the Holy Land.
If possible, it would be best to have Ning Ruoxue step in and ask Empress Xuantian to depose Yu Xiyan from her throne in order to secure her own position.
After listening to these people's demands, Ning Ruoxue remained calm and composed: "Has Haotian Sect done enough disgusting things over the years? I advised him before to be more restrained, but did he listen to a word? Now that this accident has happened, it is truly his own fault."
Upon hearing this, Lu Guan, the third elder of the Haotian Sect, immediately retorted, "Sect Leader Ning, our Haotian Sect has been paying tribute to the Holy Land on time every year. Now that the Sect Leader has encountered such a major incident, how can the Holy Land stand idly by?"
"Did I say I wouldn't interfere? Elder Lu, what do you mean by that?"
Upon hearing this, Lu Guan broke out in a cold sweat and hurriedly said, "Sect Leader Ning, please calm down. I was too hasty and didn't..."
"Alright..." Ning Ruoxue interrupted him, "I will naturally take care of this matter. Who is the murderer?"
Lu Guan was delighted: "His name is Shen Zhao."
"Shen Zhao? Yes, I understand. I will immediately send someone to contact him and bring him to my Heavenly Annihilation Holy Land to be judged."
"Thank you, Sect Master Ning."
Lu Guan was overjoyed upon hearing this. With the Heavenly Annihilation Holy Land intervening, Duanmu Long's revenge could be avenged, and he would naturally become the new Sect Master of Haotian Sect.
"Anything else?"
Ning Ruoxue was feeling a bit annoyed. The most urgent thing now was her disciple Lü Baichuan's wedding ceremony and inviting Empress Xuantian to attend. As for everything else, they were trivial matters and could even be ignored.
"Sect Leader Ning, I am Chu Sheng, the fourth prince of the Great Xia Dynasty. I have come to the Holy Land to ask Sect Leader Ning to uphold justice."
Ning Ruoxue glanced at the plain-looking man, who appeared to be around thirty years old, and asked softly, "What brings you here, Prince Chu?"
Chu Sheng said, "My younger brother was framed outside the Fuxi Abyss a year ago and has been unable to cultivate since. The murderer is Shen Zhao. I beg Sect Master Ning to do justice for my Great Xia Kingdom."
Ning Ruoxue frowned. Why do they always have to come to the Heavenly Absolute Holy Land for all this nonsense? Do these guys think this place is a marketplace?
And why is it this Shen Zhao again? Who exactly is he?
"I do not wish to take over mundane affairs, but since the suspects involved are the same person, it is not a problem to deal with them together."
Chu Sheng immediately cupped his hands in thanks: "Thank you, Sect Master Ning."
Ning Ruoxue sighed softly, handed the spirit beast in her arms to the maid beside her, covered her beautiful legs with her skirt, and stood up, saying, "How interesting. The prospective son-in-law of the Yintian Dynasty is named Shen Zhao. Has he ruined the status of your aristocratic family?"
Those members of the Great Yin clans lowered their heads and dared not utter a sound.
Then he pointed to Taichu Peak: "Did your outer sect elders at Taichu Peak also become useless people who can't cultivate because of Shen Zhao?"
The disciples of Taichu Peak looked at each other in bewilderment.
"And you, the princes of the Great Xia Kingdom, have also lost face because of Shen Zhao?"
"The sect leader and an elder of the Haotian Sect also died at Shen Zhao's hands?"
"Hehe, I really didn't expect that such a figure would emerge in the Nine Realms of the Immortal Martial Continent in just a few short years."
"Very well, then let's deal with Shen Zhao's matter before the Holy Son's wedding."
"Alright, all of you, step back."
After saying that, Ning Ruoxue waved her hand to dismiss the crowd, then left the noisy group and hurriedly walked towards the back room.
As soon as Ning Ruoxue left, Chu Sheng immediately complained, "Damn it, I, Chu Sheng, the fourth prince of the Great Xia Kingdom, actually had to speak to a woman in such a humble manner. It's infuriating!"
Upon hearing this, the people around him immediately looked at him with the same eyes they would give someone who was mentally challenged.
Chu Sheng's next words were even more explosive: "One day, I will definitely refine her into a furnace to avenge this humiliation..."
Upon hearing this, the guards nearby nearly collapsed in fear and hurriedly covered his mouth, saying, "Your Highness, please don't be reckless. This is the Heavenly Sacred Land, not the Great Xia Kingdom."
Chu Sheng pried open his mouth: "So what? No matter how capable she is, she's still just a woman. This prince hates women who think they're so great just because they have a little ability."
The onlookers were all stunned.
Is this the kind of quality and intelligence of the princes of the Great Xia Kingdom? If you want to die, don't drag us down with you, okay?
