Tang Xiaoxue trembled and sat down when she heard this name, barely able to stand.
Because of that sentence: I never want to see them again, forever~.
Tang Xiaoxue said hoarsely, "Please repeat every word my brother said without omitting anything."
Zhang Huizhu cleared her throat and imitated Tang Xiaoyu's tone, "How do you expect me to calm down? You tell me how I should calm down?"
"What grievances, brainless grievances? What kind of brain damage is required to do this in my name?"
"I acknowledged that Xiao Hei was stupid, after all a dog's brain, but is Tang Xiaoxue really that stupid too? What is Tang Xiaoyan eating?"
"A bunch of fools, all surnamed Tang too, how do you expect me to calm down?"
Zhang Huizhu imitated Tang Xiaoyu's anger perfectly.
"Finally, he just said: Let it be, you guys go prepare well!"
Listening to Zhang Huizhu's account, Tang Xiaoxue could imagine how angry, disappointed and helpless her brother was at the time.
Tang Xiaoxue's whole body was trembling, she didn't know what to do now, she was very confused and panicked, her eyes brimmed with tears that she forced herself not to let fall because of her status and identity.
She asked in a trembling voice, "Thank you."
Zhang Huizhu bowed and found a seat.
Everyone was waiting for Tang Xiaoxue's decision, and no one made any suggestions.
Suddenly, Tang Xiaoxue cried out frantically, "Assemble all forces and launch an attack on Middle State!"
Zhang Huizhu advised, "Your Holiness, Eastern State has just experienced two major upheavals, and our strength has been severely depleted, not to mention there are still many internal problems that need to be resolved."
"If we rashly launch an attack now, what if other states take advantage and attack us, how should we respond?"
But Tang Xiaoxue didn't care about any of that and insisted on launching an attack on Middle State.
At this point, Zhang Youde stood up, "Tang Xiaoxue, you must be clear about your current position. You no longer just represent one person or one sect."
"You represent the entire Eastern State. Your decisions will affect the fate of all people in Eastern State."
Tang Xiaoxue collapsed limply on her seat, as if all her strength had been drained.
"Then what should we do now?"
Zhang Youde looked at Zhang Huizhu, "Sect Master Zhang, please elaborate on the current situation!"
"Alright."
Zhang Huizhu relayed all the information she knew.
After thinking for a while, Zhang Youde said, "Sect Master Zhang, please take Tang Xiaoyan with you immediately to Middle State to stop Tang Xiaoyu from doing anything foolish."
"Understood."
"Your Holiness, your task now is to pacify the other sects, then contact that stupid dog to ask for its help."
Tang Xiaoxue hurriedly nodded, "Okay, okay, okay, I'll contact that stupid dog right away."
She no longer had the majestic air from before, she was completely like a little girl who had made a mistake.
Zhang Youde looked towards the other sect masters again, "All of you should return immediately to appease the sects within your sphere of influence and prepare your forces to act on orders anytime."
"Yes."
Under Zhang Youde's arrangement, the situation was temporarily stabilized.
Zhang Huizhu brought Tang Xiaoyan to teleport to Middle State, flying towards Fengxi Sect.
When they arrived at the foot of Mount Fengxi Sect and saw its majestic mountain gate, Zhang Huizhu couldn't help but sigh.
"So this is Fengxi Sect's strength?"
"Sister Huizhu, why is there no one here?" Tang Xiaoyan asked.
"Perhaps it's due to the effects of the mountain protection array, making us unable to sense anyone's presence!" Zhang Huizhu strained to explain.
"Then let me call out."
"Go ahead."
Tang Xiaoyan tidied her clothes and bowed respectfully towards the inside, "The Sect Master of East State Kindness Sect has come to pay a visit."
Not long after, Liu YuXin came out with several disciples.
"Who are you?"
Tang Xiaoyan bowed ceremoniously, "I am your Sect Master Tang Xiaoyu's cousin, Tang Xiaoyan."
"This is Sect Master Zhang Huizhu of Kindness Sect. We have urgent matters to discuss with Sect Master Tang."
Upon hearing this, Liu YuXin didn't react much and just said coldly, "Our Sect Master is not here. Tell me whatever business you have."
Tang Xiaoyan anxiously asked, "Where did he go?"
Liu YuXin did not answer her question and said lightly, "I have nothing to report."
"Given the special circumstances now, I will not let you two in. Please pardon Fengxi Sect for being rude."
Tang Xiaoyan became anxious, "I really am your Sect Master’s cousin. We’re looking for him because we have urgent matters."
"Please go back! I'm afraid I cannot send you off." Liu YuXin had just turned around when she thought of something.
She turned back and carefully looked them up and down again, "You two are from Eastern State?"
Zhang Huizhu replied, "Yes, I am the Sect Master of Kindness Sect, she is an Elder of the Sacred Land."
"Are you two demonic cultivators?"
"We used to be demonic cultivators, but now we are orthodox."
Liu YuXin exclaimed in surprise, "It’s said that demonic cultivators are hideous, with blue faces and fangs, who like to eat humans. How come you two look just like us?"
Zhang Huizhu explained, "We are all human. It's just that the cultivation techniques we practice are different."
"It looks to me that fellow daoist is very compatible with little rain! Could it be that you are little rain’s dao companion?" Regardless, just blurt it out anyway.
Liu YuXin’s face immediately turned red, "Nonsense! We're not dao companions yet."
She then asked again, "Do we really look compatible?"
Tang Xiaoyan, also a sly one, hurriedly echoed, "You and my brother were made for each other by Heaven and Earth."
"From now on, you'll be my sister-in-law. I won't recognize anyone else, just you."
Liu YuXin felt a little giddy, "We haven't tied the knot! There's still time to call me that in the future."
Tang Xiaoyan seized the opportunity to say, "Sister-in-law, where has my brother gone? We are all very worried about him."
"He should be at Fenglings Sect, tens of thousands of miles away. If you two hurry over now, you should be able to meet him."
The two were troubled, unfamiliar with life here, how could they find their way!
"Sister-in-law, could you send someone to bring us there?"
Liu YuXin regretfully said, "That may not work. Fengxi Sect has already activated its ultimate killing formation. Once we stop it, with just the few hundred remaining disciples, we absolutely cannot activate the great formation again."
Tang Xiaoyan persevered, "Not even with Zhang Sect Master who is at the tribulation stage?"
Liu YuXin still shook her head, "Let alone one person, even twenty more wouldn't work."
"Then point us a direction, we’ll go find him ourselves!" said Zhang Huizhu.
"Just fly southeast. After flying tens of thousands of miles, you can casually ask around for the location of Fenglings Sect."
"Thank you, fellow daoist."
"Thank you, sister-in-law. I will definitely bring my brother back to you."
Liu YuXin smiled bitterly, "If possible, please tell him that I will be waiting for him here."
"Alright."
Not daring to delay any further, the two hurriedly flew southeast.
Fenglings Sect, a first-rate sect with considerable strength. Inside the main hall, the top echelons knitted their brows and sighed heavily.
"The other sects are still unwilling to help?"
An elder said, "Help? They can't wait to see us fight Fengxi Sect into mutual destruction before swooping in to take advantage."
"What about Youying Sect? They and Fengxi Sect have irreconcilable enmity."
The elder replied, "Youying Sect is a bunch of arrogant people who don't even put Fengxi Sect in their eyes. They are even hoping that we wear down Fengxi Sect's strength a little!"
Fenglings Sect’s Sect Master was so angry that he cursed out loudly, "Ungrateful bastards, when did our Fenglings Sect ever wrong them?"
"Sect Master, should we surrender or fight to the death?"
"Let's see the situation first. If the disparity is too great, we’ll just join Fengxi Sect in rebelling. If they don’t let us live, we’ll just have to bring them down with us."
Just then, a disciple stumbled and ran in, "Sect...Master...Fengxi...Sect...people are here..."
Seeing the disciple even stuttering in speech, everyone understood everything.
"Come out with me and see."
Flying into the air, looking down below the mountain, everyone sucked in a breath of cold air.
Dozens of meters, hundreds of meters tall beast-type war machines, too many to count. Palace-sized weapons stretching as far as the eye can see. Densely packed cultivators in the sky were even more astonishing, blotting out the very sun itself.
The Sect Master was even stuttering as he spoke, "Is...is this Fengxi Sect's strength? Just the Golden Core and above masters in the sky already outnumber all our disciples."
"Not to mention those colossal beasts comparable to Golden Core, YuanYing, even Transformation stage down there. The sheer numbers are simply indescribable."
"Surrender, surrender, surrender immediately!" the Sect Master roared.
