Duanmu Pojun's body was also trembling at this moment, his eyes filled with fear. He immediately whispered to Duanmu Hong, "Second Uncle, hurry and find Sister Ling. Only she can save us now!"
On the other side, the members of the Elder Council were all looking at Ning Fa with disbelief, too shocked to speak.
They had never expected Ning Fa's reaction to be so intense, daring to threaten so many Elder Council members. He was acting like a madman.
Afterward, their expressions turned extremely grave.
This was because Ning Fa wasn't joking; his threat carried significant weight.
After all, he had taken a Heart Demon Oath. If they were to intervene today, they would truly become Ning Fa's immortal and unkillable mortal enemies.
What kind of person was Ning Fa now?
At such a young age, he was already third on the Profound Ranking. He would eventually become the foremost person in Cangyuan.
What did becoming mortal enemies with him mean?
Just thinking about it made their scalps tingle. This wasn't just their own problem; their sects and families behind them could also be settled by Ning Fa.
Judging by Ning Fa's current frenzied demeanor, he was entirely capable of doing such a thing.
Then, they looked towards Xuan Weizi.
After all, everyone had come here at Xuan Weizi's instigation. The high-ranking members of the Yunhuang Alliance within the Elder Council were all opposed and hadn't come along. They had only reluctantly agreed due to Xuan Weizi's status.
But now that Ning Fa's attitude was so resolute, they had already made up their minds: no matter what Xuan Weizi did, they would not interfere this time.
The expressions on the faces of the Tianyang Sect disciples instantly froze, as if they had just been rescued from water only to be plunged back in.
Tianyang and Bai Dan's faces turned pale again, their hearts filled with despair.
Given Ning Fa's intense stance, they felt they likely had no way out. However, they still clung to a sliver of hope, looking intently at Xuan Weizi.
If Xuan Weizi disregarded Ning Fa's threat, they might still have a chance to survive today.
Xuan Weizi, who usually maintained his composure, had a flushed face at this moment, his chest heaving violently. It was clear that Ning Fa's actions had greatly angered him.
At this moment, a burly man in a brocade robe nearby moved his lips and transmitted his voice, "Senior Brother, you must calm down! This matter is irreversible. Let's just drop it. I beg you, Senior Brother, to consider our sect."
The speaker was none other than True Lord Xuanqiong, the enforcement elder of the Taiqing Sect.
Enraged, Xuan Weizi's eyes flashed with clarity, and the anger on his face slowly receded, replaced by a thoughtful expression.
Not long after, he made up his mind, let out a soft sigh, and then transmitted his voice to Ning Fa, "Fellow Daoist Ning, since you are so insistent, this humble one will not obstruct you today.
However, I still hope that Fellow Daoist Ning will not go on a killing spree. As far as this humble one knows, not all disciples of the Tianyang Sect have done wrong to your sect and the Ning Family. I implore Fellow Daoist Ning to spare their lives."
Upon hearing this, the violent aura emanating from Ning Fa slightly subsided. He then looked towards Cang Lei and confirmed the matter through Spiritual Sense Transmission.
Not long after, after receiving confirmation from Cang Lei, Ning Fa nodded and said to Xuan Weizi, "Alright, I can agree to that."
Xuan Weizi then breathed a slight sigh of relief and looked at the Tianyang Sect, nodding at the Third Elder, Chi Yang.
Chi Yang took a deep breath, then suddenly ascended into the sky. Simultaneously, a crimson Mystic Disc appeared in his hand, emitting a beam of red light.
The thick light barrier in the sky began to slowly recede as the red beam integrated into it.
"Chi Yang, what are you doing!?" Bai Dan suddenly shouted in horror. Tianyang was also extremely shocked, then, as if recalling something, he let out a bitter smile.
Chi Yang looked at them with a furious expression and roared, "It's all your fault for being blinded by greed that our sect has fallen into such a crisis! I cannot let the Orthodox Lineage of our Tianyang Sect, which has been passed down for tens of thousands of years, be severed in our hands, nor can I let the numerous disciples of our Tianyang Sect be buried with you two!"
After Chi Yang finished speaking, a man in yellow clothes paused briefly, then also ascended into the sky, flying to Chi Yang's side.
This was none other than Hu Qifeng, the Fourth Elder of the Tianyang Sect. He had previously disapproved of Tianyang and Bai Dan's actions and therefore had not participated in the oppression of the Huayu Sect and the Ning Family.
The last Nascent Soul cultivator of the Tianyang Sect, a seductive woman in a blue dress, with a pale face, also wanted to fly towards them, but Tianyang numbly laughed:
"Fifth Junior Sister, it's one thing for Third Junior Brother and Fourth Junior Brother to do this, but considering what you did to the Huayu Sect before, do you really think Ning Fa will spare you?"
The woman in the blue dress trembled all over and, filled with despair, stopped in her tracks.
Just then, many more Core Formation cultivators of the Tianyang Sect, as well as Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining disciples, also flew towards Chi Yang. Soon, only a few thousand people remained on Tianyang's side.
At this moment, Bai Dan desperately shouted at Xuan Weizi, "Fellow Daoist Xuan Weizi, have you forgotten the Life Origin Pill I gifted you? Save my life!"
Xuan Weizi paused slightly, then forcefully flicked his right hand. A ball of light instantly flew to the front of Bai Dan, revealing a pale green pill bottle.
Bai Dan and Tianyang were struck as if by lightning. This action undoubtedly indicated that Xuan Weizi had decided to stand by and watch.
Tianyang shouted in despair, "Pei Nanshu, Yu Chan, are you two really going to be cowards? Aren't you afraid of being ridiculed by the world!"
But there was still no response.
Xuan Weizi sighed helplessly, then turned and transformed into a beam of escape light without looking back, disappearing into the horizon in an instant.
The other members of the Elder Council also gave Ning Fa a deep look before rising and leaving.
Then, the sound of violent thunder roared. Ning Fa's entire body was already flashing with dazzling silver lightning, and a terrifying aura and chilling killing intent erupted from him. Five lightning swords rapidly circled in front of him, then transformed into a blinding streak of light, flying towards Tianyang and the others.
The sound of several whooshing gusts of wind followed. Little Ice, Blue Lightning, and Cang Lei also immediately followed, while the Golden Core cultivators of the Huayu Sect and the Ning Family also unleashed their Magic Treasures, closely behind.
A crazed look appeared in Tianyang's eyes. He too was enveloped in intense red light, charging towards Ning Fa.
However, the others, including Bai Dan, looked panicked and did not choose to join Tianyang. Instead, they fled in all directions.
The people from the Huayu Sect and the Ning Family immediately split up to pursue. At this moment, from the crowd of onlookers, a stout Core Formation cultivator in the early stage suddenly roared, "You scoundrels deserve to be punished by everyone! How can you be allowed to escape so easily?"
As he spoke, a black rope-like Magic Treasure immediately flew towards a Tianyang Sect Core Formation cultivator who was desperately fleeing, forming a circle and trapping him within.
This person was Cao Xian, who had a close relationship with Ning Fa.
At the same time, three powerful figures from the crowd flew out, intercepting them separately. These three were none other than Wen Ran, Qi Ying, and Madam Li from the Huazhen Sect.
It's worth mentioning that the Huazhen Sect, also part of the Righteous Path Alliance, did not send any elders along with Xuan Weizi this time, clearly indicating they had sided with Ning Fa in advance.
Seeing this, many high-level cultivators in the crowd exchanged glances before unhesitatingly joining the interception. After all, this was a good opportunity to curry favor with Ning Fa.
Not long after, the intense roaring sound in the sky ceased. Two massive silver hands of lightning grasped two infants, which were the Nascent Souls of Tianyang and Bai Dan.
As despair filled their eyes, Ning Fa, crackling with lightning, calmly said, "Next life, keep your eyes open wider."
As soon as he finished speaking, the two silver lightning hands clenched tightly. With two piercing screams, the auras of Tianyang and Bai Dan completely vanished.
A woman's scream could also be heard from not far away. The blue-robed woman, the Fifth Elder of the Tianyang Sect, also perished under the siege of Little Ice and Blue Lightning.
Meanwhile, the Tianyang Sect cultivators who had fled earlier were all captured with the help of the enthusiastic onlookers.
The disciples of the Tianyang Sect were cornered in a section of the area, their expressions filled with fear and unease as they awaited Ning Fa's judgment.
At this moment, a streak of crimson light flew to Ning Fa's front. It was True Lord Chiyang.
He looked at Ning Fa with a bitter expression and said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, not all of us in the Tianyang Sect are wicked. We implore you to spare our lives."
Ning Fa looked at him expressionlessly, remaining silent for a moment.
On the other side, Cang Lei, along with a group of Core Formation cultivators from the Huayu Sect and the Ning Family, also flew over. True Lord Cang Lei looked at Ning Fa and advised, "Junior Brother, since the main culprits have been eliminated, the others can be dealt with leniently. After all, the Tianyang Sect has so many disciples. Killing them all would be too shocking."
Hearing this, the Tianyang Sect members anxiously looked at Ning Fa, as their sect's fate now rested on his decision.
After a long pause, Ning Fa said indifferently, "It's impossible to let everyone go. All your sect's disciples will be detained and screened one by one. Those who committed more serious offenses will still face death.
This is the first condition. Secondly, ninety percent of your sect's treasury must be surrendered, and starting today, you will relocate to the former mountain gate of our Huayu Sect.
Finally, the name of the Tianyang Sect must be changed. I suggest calling it the Luoyang Sect."
After Ning Fa stated the first two conditions, Chi Yang didn't react much. However, upon hearing the last condition, Chi Yang's face drastically changed. He quickly said, "Fellow Daoist Ning, our Tianyang Sect has been passed down for tens of thousands of years. The sect's name cannot be changed so easily. Please..."
But before he could finish, Ning Fa's sharp gaze swept over him. Chi Yang felt a chill in his heart and then, with a bitter expression, closed his mouth.
Ning Fa ignored him. With a flash of silver electric light around him, he instantly appeared beside a yellow-robed cultivator hundreds of feet away.
Under the horrified gaze of this Mid Core Formation cultivator, Ning Fa gently placed a barrier on him with a palm. Without another word, he grabbed the cultivator's head and began soul searching.
This person was a cultivator from the Pei Family, and the one who informed him of this was Cao Xian, who stood nearby with a smile.
It was clear that Pei Nanshu had sent the Pei Family cultivator to gather information.
Soon after, Ning Fa finished the soul searching. With a cold glint in his eyes, he transmitted a few words to Cang Lei before taking Blue Lightning and Little Ice and speeding towards the north.
