The Star Lord's Mansion's order swept across Yunxuan Star like a whirlwind. Major sects received the summons in quick succession, and the entire cultivation world quickly fell into a tense atmosphere of war preparation. Psychic communication devices hummed frequently between the major sects, their piercing hum echoing beneath the starry sky. The summons was clear and simple, yet weighty: "The Hundred Star Sect is using a poisonous insect within the psychic network to control Yunxuan Star's psychic resources. We now call on all major sects to unite and suppress them to safeguard the stability of the star region."
The solemn and dignified atmosphere within the Lingxiao Sect's main hall was suffocating. Waves of spiritual energy slowly flowed from the rune arrays on the walls, shrouding the entire hall in a faint golden-blue glow. Sect Master Lu Tianze sat upright in the main seat, clutching the command scroll that had just arrived from the Star Lord's Mansion. His gaze was stern, his brow furrowed slightly, and his entire presence, like a towering mountain, exuded a powerful sense of intimidation.
Lu Tianze slowly lowered the order in his hand, his sharp gaze sweeping across the elders gathered below, each one shone with solemnity and worry. His voice, deep and powerful, echoed through the hall with undeniable authority: "The Star Lord's Mansion's punitive order clearly reveals the Hundred Star Sect's crimes. They are not only the culprits responsible for the paralysis of the psychic network, but also attempt to control the psychic resources of the entire star region with poison. Everyone, this is no longer a crisis for a single sect, but a battle for the survival of Yunxuan Star."
As Lu Tianze finished speaking, a brief silence descended upon the hall. The elders exchanged glances, their gazes etched in confusion. Everyone could sense the indescribable tension in the air. They had long heard of the threat posed by the poisonous insects from the Star Lord's Mansion's announcements, but it was only when the actual order to smite them was issued that many realized the gravity of the situation.
Finally, Shen Tianshu, a Jindan-stage elder, stepped out, his white beard trembling slightly in the dim light. He knelt on one knee, clasped his hands, and spoke loudly, "Sect Master, the Baixing Sect's actions have violated the laws of Heaven. The Lingxiao Sect is willing to go all out and follow the Star Lord Mansion to suppress this rebellion!"
Shen Tianshu's voice was resounding, like a hammer striking everyone's heart, awakening their resolve. The other elders rose, bowed their heads, and clasped their fists. "Lingxiao Sect is willing to do its utmost to eliminate the rebellion for Yunxuanxing!"
Lu Tianze's eyes were deep as he slowly nodded. He stood up, and the surging spiritual energy from his body instantly spread, making the atmosphere in the entire hall even more tense. His voice was not loud, but it was like a resounding bell, resounding and resonating: "Very good! From now on, pass on my order: all elders and disciples above the Jindan stage must assemble immediately and be ready to support the Star Lord Mansion's campaign against the Baixing Sect. Other disciples are strictly prohibited from leaving the sect without permission. The sect's defensive formations are to be fully strengthened to prevent the Baixing Sect's poisonous insects from infiltrating. No matter what, the Lingxiao Sect must go all out and must not allow Yunxuanxing to fall into the control of the traitors!"
The elders in the hall responded in unison and quickly departed, preparing for their respective actions. Lu Tianze watched their hurried retreating figures, his expression unwavering. He knew this battle would determine the future of Yunxuan Star, and whether the Lingxiao Sect could maintain its strength in this war, and even establish its position in the star region, would depend on the success of this campaign.
Meanwhile, the Lingxiao Sect branch became incredibly busy. Message talismans flickered, and psychic flying swords and communication cranes shuttled back and forth above the sect, relaying various orders. Elders hurried about, gathering disciples and assigning tasks. The atmosphere was as tense as a fully drawn bowstring, poised to snap at any moment.
In the core area of the branch sect, security was fully heightened. Disciples were urgently summoned as ordered, and the defensive formations surrounding the sect were reactivated. The psychic runes at the center of the formation flashed with a dazzling light, creating a psychic barrier for the sect.
In the square, disciples formed neat lines, whispering about the Baixing Sect's betrayal and the terrifying rumors of poison. Deacon Hong Sheng stood on a high platform, behind him a massive psychic projection screen displaying the emergency order issued by the Star Lord's Mansion. His gaze was stern, and his voice echoed like thunder across the square: "From now on, the Lingxiao Sect branch is temporarily closed! All disciples are prohibited from leaving the sect grounds without permission. Any disciple who leaves without permission will be severely punished according to the sect's rules, with no leniency!"
Hong Sheng's gaze swept across every disciple in the square. The fierce pressure caused everyone to bow their heads, not daring to refute. A young disciple couldn't help but whisper to his companion, "Do you think... Is the Hundred Star Sect really so terrifying? How could they possibly control the entire psychic network?"
The disciple next to him lowered his voice, a hint of fear in his tone: "I heard that they colluded with the extreme technology faction, combining psychic energy with those forbidden technologies to create some kind of Mother Gu system... Now even the Star Lord Mansion is helpless. You still dare to question it?"
Deacon Hong Sheng had extremely sharp hearing. After hearing the whisper, he glanced at the two of them coldly. That cold look immediately silenced them, and they dared not say anything more.
Hong Sheng's voice rang out again, his tone filled with an unyielding majesty. "The Lingxiao Sect's command is to preserve the sect, and also to protect yourselves. The Baixing Sect's poison has already spread to 70% of the spiritual energy network. If it continues to spread, Yunxuan Star will likely fall completely. All of you must obey orders and must not become a burden to the sect!"
Upon hearing this, the disciples all bowed their hands in agreement, and order quickly returned to the scene. Hong Sheng glanced coldly at the neatly arranged formation, turned and left, his figure quickly disappearing behind the platform.
The disciples gathered in the square. Though outwardly maintaining the silence commanded by the commandments, whispers between them surged like an undercurrent. Their faces were filled with tension and confusion. Rumors of the Baixing Sect's poisonous insects filled these young practitioners with a deep sense of powerlessness.
