Wang Jixuan's movements froze there.

He slightly turned his head, looking towards the direction of the voice transmission, and his eyes met only blurred shadows and a dull atmosphere filled with gloom.

The Master Uncle was in the great hall.

"Jixuan, is it really you?"

"The Master Uncle just now didn't recognize you...didn't recognize you...you haven't changed, yet you have."

Wang Jixuan felt a twinge of emotion in his nose, but with his Dao Heart no longer what it was back then, he just showed a slight smile.

He nodded lightly, and without saying much, leapt to the top of the wall, set up a cushion, and calmly meditated in that place.

"Zhengyi?" Wang Jixuan called softly.

Murong Zhengyi quickly stood up to respond, "Master Uncle, at your command."

"Nothing."

Wang Jixuan replied simply and then didn't speak again.

Murong Zhengyi was puzzled, but still laughed heartily, bowed, and turned back to continue caring for his female guard.

Before long, a disciple of Wangxian Valley came riding the wind on a sword and landed in front of Murong Zhengyi.

"Murong, our Sect Leader would like you to represent the Murong Family and go with your Master Uncle to the main hall for a meeting."

"Oh?"

Murong Zhengyi was somewhat flattered at once.

The so-called Ten Great Families, or Fifteen Families, sounded impressive, but in actuality, their influence was greater among loose cultivators and they had no presence before the major sects.

He was quick-witted and soon realized that the Wangxian Valley leader wasn't inviting their Murong Family, and he was happy to do this small favor.

"My guard has been injured, and they are childhood friends, I am not at ease."

Murong Zhengyi took off his jade pendant, which bore the Murong Family's insignia, the Heir Token of the Murong Family.

He turned and handed the jade pendant to Wang Jixuan, smiling, "Master Uncle, would you please make a trip for me, to hear what the esteemed seniors have to say."

"Hmm, alright," Wang Jixuan agreed, feeling even more sentimental in his heart.

If this realm is not destroyed by the Dark Sect, Murong Zhengyi's future should be very bright.

This guy is really adept at dealing with people, able to remain neither arrogant nor servile.

Perhaps this is the emotional intelligence cultivated by the Murong Family with all their might.

Wang Jixuan hung the jade pendant at his waist and followed the disciples of Wangxian Valley towards the main hall.

Walking once more within Wangxian Valley, Master Wang's Dao Heart had become much more tranquil—although the current atmosphere was not very fitting.

Upon entering the barrier of the great hall, he found it already crowded with people.

A group of experts formed an impenetrable circle around the open center of the main hall, where the leaders of over a dozen righteous sects were sitting opposite six Tianluo Loose Immortals.

Disciples wishing to serve tea had to manipulate objects from afar, otherwise, it was impossible to deliver.

Wang Jixuan leaned against a pillar, mimicking the fellow cultivators around him, his body levitating three feet above, revealing his head from behind the layered human shadows.

Daoist Tai Ye immediately glanced over.

This Sect Leader remained outwardly calm, his eyes flickered slightly, and he nodded gently towards Wang Jixuan.

Master Wang always kept his disguising magic active.

Other experts also glanced over at Wang Jixuan's side, seeing that he was just an ordinary cultivator in the Unification Realm, didn't pay him much heed.

Meanwhile, let us listen to the experts in the field discuss:

"Senior, you just mentioned that those suddenly appearing puppets, weren't they the Immortal Soldiers you brought?"

Six Heavenly Net experts stood side by side, each nodding at this moment.

"That power is not the power of cultivation."

"We have already been warned by the Heavenly Dao Stele, it is a forbidden power, and it's the work of a convict being pursued by the Heavenly Dao."

"This power is not to rescue you, but to annihilate the Dark Sect."

"Even if you ask more, we cannot say much as we do not know the specifics, we are merely following the Heavenly Dao Will, undertaking tasks revealed on a stele that can manifest the words of the Heavenly Dao, and acting according to those tasks."

"We are also very afraid now."

"Because the Heavenly Dao Stele warns that this convict has grand schemes, targeting both Tianluo and the Dark Sect."

The natives of this world;

This group of cultivators, who just today learned of the concepts of Tianluo, Dark Sect, and even the Xu Realm and True Realm, each trying hard to think.

An old monk asked, "Dare I ask the six seniors, why does the Dark Sect seek to destroy us?"

These six experts of Tianluo were forthright in their knowledge.

They were here to earn contribution points, and given the current situation, they must unite with the cultivators' power in front of them, and taking along some experts to join their Tianluo would be even better.

Therefore, they did not hide anything:

"The Dark Sect's doctrine is actually to spread fear, break order, and extinguish cultivation."

"They do this to give the Heavenly Dao a tangible form."

"The Heavenly Dao is the will of the heavens and earth, unrelated to all beings. Mortals are viewed as part of the earth by the Heavenly Dao, moving dust, whereas cultivators are seen as the part of life that surpasses its bounds; mortals should be protected, whereas cultivators should be annihilated."

"Most of our past tasks have been to exterminate evil demons, and these evil demons share one trait: they have massacred mortals, thereby harming the Heavenly Dao."

"Thus, the Dark Sect has come this time to eliminate cultivation, they will surely return, probably mobilizing forces from nearby realms, True Realm, and Xu Realm."

"The Dark Sect Heavenly Dao has always sworn to not stop until they achieve their goals."

A cultivator immediately asked, "Then what about Tianluo?"

"Since Tianluo maintains order, shouldn't Tianluo be able to protect us?"

"Seniors, we understand Tianluo might have difficulties, beyond our heavens, perhaps demon cultivators are dominant and the Righteous Path is waning, but this… in the bright universe, why has the Righteous Path fallen to such a state?"
