The man in golden robe did not speak, and Gao Yu would never dare to ask anything.
He could only keep his head down and wait for the Lord's instructions or punishment in the most respectful and humble manner.
Finally, the man in golden robe said in a strange voice: "Gao Yu, I am very disappointed in you."
Hearing these words, Gao Yu's body trembled, his face turned pale with fright, and cold sweat broke out on his forehead.
He prostrated on the ground and said in a dry and hoarse voice: "This subordinate is incompetent, please punish me, Lord!"
The Lord ignored him and said in an indifferent tone: "Among the nine regions of the Southern Continent, the other eight regions are all ruled by overlords. Only the Tianchen Region does not have an overlord position and is directly ruled by the Imperial Court."
"The Qingtian Sect is the head of the eight major sects. It controls the Ancient Star Realm and is equivalent to the overlord of the Tianchen Domain."
"In the past ten years, the Tianjian Sect has developed so rapidly, but you have repeatedly missed the opportunity and have been unable to replace the Qingtian Sect and control the Tianchen Domain for me!"
Gao Yu quickly said in a respectful tone: "Your Majesty, our sect has the strength and foundation it has today because of your support and cultivation over the past ten years."
"My subordinates and everyone in this sect are willing to work hard for you, Lord, in return for your kindness in nurturing me."
"But the Qingtian Sect is a large sect that has been inherited for thousands of years, and its power is extremely deep. The subordinates dare not make decisions on their own, let alone start a war rashly, lest they suffer a loss."
Having said this, Gao Yu paused and looked up at the Lord's reaction.
Seeing that the Lord had no intention of interrupting him, he cautiously continued: "Half a month ago, I wanted to seize the opportunity and decisively declare war on Qingtian Sect."
"However, the Emperor arrived at the Qingtian Sect with the Emperor's Holy Order. The Emperor intends to protect the Qingtian Sect, and his subordinates dare not act recklessly!"
"My subordinates also inquired about the news. It is said that the emperor quietly returned to the imperial court to mobilize an army to protect the Qingtian Sect..."
The man in golden robe frowned, with a flash of contempt in his eyes, and said in a cold tone: "Long Yunxiao's power is only limited to Zhongzhou, how can he protect Qingtian Sect?"
"As for mobilizing a large army to protect the Qingtian Sect, it is even more nonsense. He is only the prince of the Imperial Court. He has not yet mastered military power and is not qualified to command an army."
Hearing these words, Gao Yu was immediately shaken, his eyes filled with light and joy.
"I see, my subordinate understands!"
The golden-robed man glanced at him indifferently, and said in a majestic voice: "Now is the best time. If you delay the time any longer and delay my plan, there will be no need for you and the Tianjian Sect to exist!"
Gao Yu's body trembled again, his eyes flashed with deep jealousy and fear, and he kowtowed quickly and said: "Please calm down, my lord, this subordinate understands what to do!"
"My subordinates are going to deploy now and prepare to fight against the Qingtian Sect!"
The man in golden robe narrowed his eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "Stupid!"
"With such a nameless master, and only relying on the power of Tianjian Sect, how can we replace Qingtian Sect?"
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand, and with a flash of light in his palm, a sandalwood scroll appeared.
The man in golden robe shook his hand, and the scroll flew in front of Gao Yu.
"This is my plan, just follow it."
Gao Yu quickly took the sandalwood scroll with both hands, held it in his palms with a respectful look, and said solemnly: "I will obey the order of the Lord. I will go all out and never let the Lord down!"
The man in golden robe looked up at the door of the secret room and said in a deep voice: "Tuoba Rui, come in!"
Following his command, the door to the secret room opened from the outside.
A tall young man wearing black leather armor and with red hair stepped into the secret room with dignity.
The outline of this burly young man's facial features was as sharp as a sculpture, and the pupils of his eyes were red, like two balls of flame.
Although he is only fifteen or sixteen years old, he is extremely tall and strong, exuding a violent and sturdy aura.
He is exactly what the man in the golden robe called Tuoba Rui. No matter in appearance or temperament, he does not look like a human being.
Tuoba Rui walked into the secret room and came to the man in gold robe, bowing respectfully.
"Tuoba Rui meets his adoptive father and asks him for instructions!"
The man in gold robe nodded slightly and said in a deep voice: "Tuoba Rui, follow Gao Yu and fully cooperate with his actions to implement my plan."
"Yes!" Tuoba Rui bowed his hands.
Later, Tuoba Rui followed Gao Yu, who was holding the scroll in both hands, and exited the secret room.
In the secret room, only the man in golden robe was left.
He stared at the door of the secret room with cold eyes, his eyes seemed to have penetrated billions of miles of space and saw the distant Zhongzhou Imperial Court.
He murmured in a low voice: "After the Qingtian Sect is destroyed, there will be a good show to watch."
"Zhongzhou has been peaceful for a thousand years. It's time to cause big trouble for the old guy and cause chaos in the Imperial Court."
"I would like to see how long that young boy Long Yunxiao has the ability to secure his position as Crown Prince!"
Having said this, a sneer filled with hatred flashed deep in his eyes.
…
Ji Tianxing practiced in the secret room for another two days, temporarily solidifying his martial arts foundation.
Now that Chu Tiansheng has entered the Immortal Cave to retreat to heal his injuries, he will temporarily take over the position of head and manage the affairs of the sect.
He could not continue to practice, so he could only move to the Qingtian Palace in Chixiao Peak to stay temporarily. With the help of the elders, he could familiarize himself with and handle various matters of the sect as soon as possible.
Early that morning, Ji Tianxing held a regular meeting in the Qingtian Palace, discussed the next plan with several elders, and issued a series of orders.
An hour later, the meeting ended and several elders left the hall one after another.
Ji Tianxing and Yun Yao left last, and walked out of the hall side by side, discussing the next plan as they walked.
At this moment, a black-robed deacon hurried across the square and quickly came to the two of them.
The black-robed deacon bowed to Ji Tianxing and then took out a letter sealed with lacquer.
"Acting Head, the elders of Tianjian Sect came to our sect just now and presented this letter of war, naming the names to be handed over to Yun Yao."
Ji Tianxing suddenly frowned, and a cold light flashed in his eyes, "How dare people from the Tianjian Sect take the initiative to declare a challenge?"
"Let me take a look." Yunyao took the letter calmly, opened the envelope, and took out a piece of rice paper.
There are hundreds of words written on the rice paper. The fonts are vigorous and powerful, containing a sharp and frightening sword intent, which is very arrogant and domineering.
The content in the war letter is even more confident and arrogant.
After Yun Yao read the letter of challenge, he put away the envelope and said to Ji Tianxing calmly: "The Tianjian Sect has a newly promoted chief disciple named Tuoba Rui."
"This person has issued a challenge to me. He will challenge me on the star platform. He threatens to seize the top spot on the star list and trample all the disciples of our sect under his feet."
