For several days in a row, no news came out of the Star Dou Great Forest about Tang Xiao, the sect leader of Haotian Sect, the four elders, and the many disciples.

It was as if they had all truly perished in the Star Dou Great Forest.

Meanwhile, various forces have also set their sights on the Haotian Sect and taken different actions to see how it would react.

Under Yang Wudi's leadership, Shuangxue Pavilion began to suppress the two major forces, Haotian Sect and Tang Sect.

Ning Fengzhi of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School made no comment on Ye Xi's suppression of the Haotian School and the Tang Sect, but he kept abreast of news from the outside world.

The Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family, on the other hand, made no move, as if they were indifferent to everything.

Time passes day by day.

There is still no news of Tang Xiao and the others.

The major powers have basically confirmed that Tang Xiao and the others have indeed perished in the Star Dou Great Forest. Even if they did not all perish, they can be certain that they suffered severe injuries, otherwise, there would have been no news at all.

Therefore, the four lower sects and some small and medium-sized sects also began to test the Haotian Sect's attitude.

On the fourteenth day, under pressure from various forces, Tang Huang, the second elder of the Haotian Sect, temporarily took over as the sect leader and demonstrated the strength of a ninety-fourth titled Douluo, barely stabilizing the situation of the Haotian Sect.

Tang Huang temporarily assumed the position of sect leader. In addition to stabilizing the situation of the Haotian Sect, he also ordered the original disciples of the Tang Clan to be recruited into the Haotian Sect, so that the overall strength of the Haotian Sect could be restored to some extent.

With the Haotian Sect's strength restored and Tang Huang, a level 94 Title Douluo, in charge, the four lower sects and some small and medium-sized sects abandoned their original plans.

However, this does not include the Frost and Snow Pavilion. In fact, the pressure from the Frost and Snow Pavilion is increasing, putting immense pressure on the Haotian Sect.

A few more days passed.

In the main hall of Frost and Snow Pavilion.

Ye Xi held a book about soul tools, silently flipping through it. His azure eyes were exceptionally calm, like the calm before a storm.

Just then, Yang Wudi entered the hall and bowed to Ye Xi, who was in the main seat: "Sect Master, the people I sent to Haotian Sect have received a reply from Haotian Sect."

Ye Xi continued flipping through the book in her hands, without even looking up.

"What was the Haotian Sect's reply?"

An extremely calm tone came from Ye Xi's mouth.

"The Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng has already been found in the Tang Sect, but they will not hand it over to our Frost Snow Pavilion."

"When the sect leader of Haotian Sect returns from the Star Dou Great Forest, he will definitely pay a visit to demand an explanation."

Yang Wudi answered in detail.

"Oh~"

Ye Xi raised her eyes slightly and chuckled, "Tell Tang Huang that I'm waiting for Tang Xiao to come and demand an explanation from me."

"Continue to suppress the Haotian Sect, and keep an eye on the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan."

Ye Xi waved his hand dismissively, signaling Yang Wudi to step back first.

For Ye Xi now, the Crystal Blood Dragon Ginseng is not important at all; it's just an excuse. His main purpose is to see the attitudes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Rex family.

After all, the attitudes of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School and the Blue Lightning Tyrannosaurus Clan are crucial to how she can eliminate the Clear Sky School ahead of time.

"Yes, Pavilion Master."

Yang Wudi agreed and left Shuangxue Pavilion to arrange the matters Ye Xi had instructed.

After Yang Wudi left, Ye Xi continued to quietly flip through the book in her hands, but a barely perceptible hint of contemplation flashed in her azure eyes.

Ling Yuan stood behind him as always, without saying a word.

After a while.

Ye Xi closed the book in her hand, got up from her seat, and walked out of the hall.

Ling Yuan consciously lagged behind by half a step and followed.

The two left Frost Snow Pavilion and headed straight for the Heavenly Dou Imperial Palace.

Because Ye Xi and Ling Yuan frequently visited the palace, the palace guards made no attempt to stop them.

The two proceeded directly to the Crown Prince's palace as if it were empty. Upon entering the palace, Ye Xi saw Xue Qinghe handling state affairs and sat down directly in front of him.

"Seele, what brings you here?"

Xue Qinghe put down his pen, waved his hand to signal the people at the door to close the palace gate, and a faint golden light appeared on his body as he returned to the appearance of Qian Renxue.

"Sister, can you find me a death row inmate while you're in prison?"

Ye Xi rested her chin on her hand, staring intently at Qian Renxue.

"Death row inmate?"

What do you want with the death row inmate?

Qian Renxue asked, somewhat puzzled.

"Of course, we're preparing to eliminate the Haotian Sect early."

"Although the Haotian Sect has integrated the manpower of the Tang Sect, it is still in a state of serious damage."

"I have already started to suppress the Haotian Sect. There is a saying: 'If you don't kill the snake, you will suffer the consequences; if you let the tiger return to the mountain, it will harm your own family.'"

Ye Xi's expression was very serious.

"I understand everything."

"But what does eliminating the Haotian Sect early have to do with death row inmates?"

A hint of confusion appeared in Qian Renxue's eyes.

She really couldn't understand what the connection was.

"Sister, think about it."

"If I were to eliminate the Haotian Sect without any reason, and the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect were to intervene rashly, things would become quite troublesome."

"Find me a death row inmate, I'll give him a high position in the Frost and Snow Pavilion, and then if he falls into the hands of the Haotian Sect, then it will be the Haotian Sect that provoked me first, and I'll have a legitimate reason to take action against the Haotian Sect."

"If the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School intervenes again, I will have an excuse to break ties with them. I will first get the Haotian School out of the game, and then find a way to get the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School out as well."

Ye Xi revealed a harmless, sweet smile, her azure eyes sparkling like jewels.

"Um……"

Is this how "having a legitimate reason for one's actions" is used?

"I felt something was off, but after thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem like there was anything wrong."

Qian Renxue blinked a few times, as if she had opened the door to a new world. Before this, she really had never thought that having a legitimate reason for something could be used in this way.

And once this line of thinking was opened up...

Qian Renxue discovered that there was still a lot of room for maneuver in this matter.

Their eyes met.

Ye Xi and Qian Renxue exchanged a smile, a smile that was sweet but also carried a hint of meaning.

Is one death row inmate enough?

"Why don't we send a few more? There are quite a few death row inmates in the prison."

Qian Renxue asked with a smile.

"A few more are fine too."

"The more people there are, the more convincing it is."

Ye Xi thought for a moment, then spoke thoughtfully.

"Well, once I've settled everything at hand, I'll take you to the prison to choose one."

Qian Renxue nodded slightly, agreeing very readily.
