Otherworldly Affairs Office-Chapter 662: One Person Destroys Their Sect (Seeking Subscription)

Sheng Hongxue glanced again at the corpse of his junior brother inside the cage and sighed, "You're still doing well! Though your cultivation time has been short, you still have living family members to enjoy familial happiness with. But for us, the path of cultivation is long and grueling, our first family members have long turned to bones in the grounds. Even if we have descendants, the blood ties have become distant with worn-out emotions. The only sentiment we might retain in this world is the camaraderie with our sect and brothers. Although I am angry with this junior brother for not living up to expectations, how can I not avenge someone I shared the sect with for years?"

At this point, Sheng Hongxue turned to look at Pei Yan, the sadness in his eyes gradually dissipating as anger reignited, and he said in a deep voice, "Young man, your fame in youth has made you too arrogant. You act without understanding patience and the bigger picture. A single threatening word, and you go to kill! You call us naïve? I think you're the naïve one here. One person makes a move, one person bears the consequences! This kind of saying never existed in our Cultivation Realm. Do you think that you can act high and mighty before an old man like me today based on your strength? Ignorant! If it weren't for the elders of the Investigation Hall behind you backing you, I would have captured you long ago, not letting you act this arrogantly! You abused the influence of the Investigation Hall to kill my person. Should the two factions go to war because of this, all subsequent casualties and losses stem from you. Can you bear this responsibility?"

"He can bear it!" Before Pei Yan could reply, Gu Shenghui in the crowd had already answered, "Pavilion Master Sheng, there's no need to shake a junior's mindset before a great battle. Prior to this, I promised him that everything would be subject to him once we went to the Daoist Plane. Today's matter has been witnessed by everyone from top to bottom in our Investigation Hall as well as by the peers present. A single threatening word doesn't warrant a death! But as for his previous actions? This was merely the last straw that broke the camel's back! At this point, speaking further is pointless! Whatever path Pavilion Master Sheng wants to take, our Investigation Hall will accept! Regardless of the outcome, the people of our hall will bear it all together, advancing and retreating as one!"

"Indeed, bear it all together, advancing and retreating as one!" The crowd from the Investigation Hall chimed in unison.

"Good! No wonder this cornerstone plane is rising now. If that's the case…"

"Wait!" Pei Yan extended his hand to interrupt Sheng Hongxue's words, smiling as he responded, "Pavilion Master Sheng, your reproaches are justified! I am indeed young and arrogant, unaware of restraint, but there's one point I'm not foolish about. If today it were any other sect in the Daoist Plane, I would weigh my options, though I'd still kill the person, I would choose a more discreet method. But for your Celestial Secret Pavilion, I feel there's no need for such caution."

This statement immediately sparked a massive uproar among the elders of the Celestial Secret Pavilion, with those less composed cursing openly. Pei Yan's words unquestionably declared that the Celestial Secret Pavilion was unworthy of threatening the safety of the Investigation Hall's members!

"Youngster, just because you won a battle, you can't tell north from south, seem like you've lost your mind! Do you truly believe that by defeating Bai Xuelin you can single-handedly contend with my entire Celestial Secret Pavilion? Your arrogance is going a bit too far!" Sheng Hongxue sneered with anger, repeatedly pointing at Pei Yan as he shouted.

Pei Yan not only did not deny but even nodded, accepting the challenge, "That's right, while I dare not speak for others, for your Celestial Secret Pavilion, I dare to say such things. Through the battle with Bai Xuelin, I've long understood your capabilities. Now, I ask Pavilion Master Sheng an important question: Are you truly prepared to go to war with the Investigation Hall because of Bai Xuelin? Can you bear the responsibility for the losses your sect is about to suffer?"

These words landed like a stone in a quiet pond, causing all the onlookers to secretly thrill. The Celestial Secret Pavilion! Although not one of the Six Mansions of the Immortal Palace, it's still a top-tier sect in the Daoist Plane. To have one person boldly claim they could annihilate it! How many years has it been since such bold talk was heard! Regardless of whether Pei Yan can accomplish it, daring to utter these words in the face of Sheng Hongxue today is enough to make a name across the four major planes!

Listening to Pei Yan's words truly left Sheng Hongxue stunned on the spot. Looking at Pei Yan's confident demeanor, then glancing at the corpse of his junior brother in the cage, could this young man truly have the means to kill us?

No! That's impossible, although he managed to triumph over the Asura Dao across two realms below the Human Dao Realm, it doesn't mean he can defeat those in the Heavenly Dao Realm. It's well known that once the major dimensions reach the last three cultivation realms, each level of ascension results in a vast difference in strength. Even if he's extraordinarily talented, the sect currently has, including myself, a total of four Grand Elders at the Heavenly Dao Mirror, plus seven Asura Path Elders. What gives him such confidence?

At this point, there's no time to dwell on where his confidence comes from. With him speaking to this extent, what choice do I have other than to confront him?

Thinking of this, Sheng Hongxue let out a cold, dismissive laugh, "Youngster, uttering deceitful words is a sign of a guilty heart. Do you truly believe that a few words can scare Sheng Hongxue? You've miscalculated! Today, my Celestial Secret Pavilion is sworn to avenge my junior brother Bai Xuelin, to fight you Pei Yan to the death! Now, stop with the nonsense, will you fight in a group or take turns, say it clearly!"

"Fine! Whether it's deceit or not, you'll find out soon enough. As for taking turns, no need for that! I'll take you all on at once! Demon God Transformation! Mechanization!" Saying this, Pei Yan once again activated the Demon Race Essence Blood, instantly completing the demonization, Demon God Transformation, and mechanization phases.

With his body transformed post-Demon God Transformation, even his demonic horns became mechanized, the surface primarily red, but its interwoven silver-white runes morphed to a dark black. Completed mechanization, Pei Yan followed with a light command: "Boundary Breakthrough, Tenfold Enhancement, All Laws Interconnected! Lightning!"

Pei Yan turned into a streak of light, disappearing from the spot just as his words ended. Observing this mid-air, Shi Yuansi exclaimed loudly, "Everyone, be careful, this guy is proficient in Space Technique and knows the Instant Teleportation Technique!"

"Too late!" Pei Yan already stood behind a Heavenly Dao Elder, laughing coldly. Knowing something was amiss, the elder, without holding anything back, immediately executed a life-saving technique, causing his entire body to suddenly explode. Countless flying swords and talismans frantically rushed toward his rear, while he darted away as a silver streak, clutching his hundred treasures pouch at his waist as he fled.

Unfortunately, he was fast, but Pei Yan was faster. With a peal of thunder, Pei Yan appeared right in front of him, clutching the opponent's hand that was half-drawn out, then pierced through the elder's throat with a palm, twisting and snapping it, grabbing the treasures pouch from his hand, and pulling out his hand, while letting the elder's body fall from the sky.

All this happened within mere five seconds. Before Sheng Hongxue could react, a Heavenly Dao Elder had already lost his life like that. Watching the body plummet straight down, the onlookers, who had been chattering moments before, now stood agape in shock, rendering the entire Heroes Pavilion silent instantly.

With a thud! The corpse hit the ground, and Sheng Hongxue finally came to his senses. He finally understood the meaning behind Pei Yan's earlier words; he really had hit the Celestial Secret Pavilion's soft spot!
