Fantasy: I, the Great Celestial Venerable of the Dao

Since our founder established the Qingyun Sect, our sect has taken "protecting all living beings and defending our human race" as its fundamental principle.

Today, regardless of whether this "Ancient Covenant" is real or not.

No matter how many conspiracies and schemes lie behind this, my Qingyun Sect has no reason to stand idly by!

He stood up, and an aura as solid as a mountain, yet as sharp as a drawn sword, suddenly rose from his body!

"Issue my sect leader's order!" Wan Jianyi's voice was resolute, echoing in every corner of the Jade Purity Hall:

"First, from this moment forward, activate the protective formation of Qingyun Mountain, the 'Qiankun Wuji Formation'."

Activate the highest alert level, "Defend Yourself"!

All restrictions on the Seven Peaks have been lifted, and all disciples are prohibited from going out unless absolutely necessary. Patrols, shifts, and security have been raised to the highest level!

All disciples of the Enforcement Hall were mobilized to monitor both inside and outside the area!

"Secondly, the Hall of Transmission and the Sutra Repository."

Immediately organize and verify all records of the sect regarding ancient history and alien races.

And the files on the unexpected deaths of past patriarchs.

Search for any clues that might be related to the "Ancient Covenant"!

"Third, order all secret agents of the 'Heavenly Secrets Pavilion' to be activated, at all costs and using all available resources."

We are making every effort to trace the origin and spread of this rumor about the "Ancient Covenant".

And the authenticity of those "secret letters"!

Closely monitor the movements of the alien races in the East Sea, Western Wilderness, and Southern Underworld!

Fourth, in my name.

Immediately send top-level secret letters to Lingxiao Zhenren of Xuantian Sect, Zixia Xianzi of Zifu Sect, and Longzhantian Sect Master of Fulong Mountain.

We request to exchange information.

They also proposed holding a secret joint meeting of the top sects in Central Continent in the near future to discuss countermeasures!

"Fifth," Wan Jian paused, his gaze sharp as lightning.

"All disciples of Qingyun, from this day forward, shall diligently cultivate yourselves, sharpen your swords and hone your skills! A storm is brewing, and the winds are already blowing!"

Only with a sharp enough sword in hand and a firm enough conviction in one's principles can one navigate the turbulent currents of this chaotic world.

"Defend the gates of Qingyun Mountain! Defend the backbone of our human race!"

"I will obey the acting sect leader's orders!"

The fourteen Taiyi masters in the hall, along with their elite disciples standing to the side, all bowed in unison.

The sounds converged into a torrent, filled with resolute and soaring fighting spirit!

However, just as the entire Qingyun Sect was urgently mobilized and united in hatred against the enemy because of the "Ancient Covenant".

The true eye of the storm, the Dragon Palace of the East Sea, has been turned upside down!

The Dragon Palace of the East Sea, the Crystal Main Hall.

It was once a palace that symbolized power and majesty over the world.

At this moment, however, it was shrouded in a terrifyingly low pressure that was almost stagnant.

The thousands of pearls embedded in the roof of the palace had lost their luster.

As if sensing the omnipresent, raging dragon's might and boundless fury, it dared not unleash its brilliance.

"Useless! A complete and utter bunch of useless trash!"

The roar of Ao Guang, the Dragon King of the East Sea, was no longer a simple raging roar.

Rather, it was a mixture of extreme anger, horror, and a hint of something he himself was unwilling to admit...

A panicked dragon's roar!

The sound waves, like a real tsunami, crashed wildly inside the hall.

Those decorative items meticulously crafted from deep-sea jade, coral, and pearls.

They shattered and crumbled like paper!

Several shrimp soldiers with weaker cultivation levels couldn't even let out a scream.

He was instantly killed by the oppressive power of the dragon's roar, his body exploding and turning into several clouds of blood mist!

Below the hall stood the Turtle Prime Minister, the Crab Marshal, the Whale General, and several core elders of the Dragon Palace whose auras were profound and who were clearly great demons or even demon kings.

They all lay prostrate on the ground, shivering, their foreheads pressed tightly against the cold crystal floor.

Cold sweat had already soaked through his armor or scales.

The air was thick with the stench of blood and fear.

"Investigate! Dig three feet into the ground! Search every corner of the four seas!"

We must also find the traitor who leaked the secrets! And those forged "secret letters"!

Who was it? And what methods did they use?

How can they even imitate my handwriting and dragon patterns to such an extent?!

Just how thoroughly has the Dragon Palace been infiltrated?!

Ao Guang's eyes were crimson gold, his dragon whiskers bristled, and he exuded a terrifying aura.

The entire palace was buzzing, as if it might collapse at any moment.

His state of mind at this moment was no longer just anger.

There is also a sense of shame and a chilling feeling that comes from being nakedly stripped and judged before the world!

The "Ancient Covenant" is one of the Dragon Clan's top secrets.

Those who know the full details are fewer than a handful in the entire dragon race!

The secret discussions to restart the alliance were all attended by the highest leaders or confidants of each race.

Furthermore, the meeting place was heavily fortified with isolation and restrictions!

As for those secret letters he wrote by hand, they were all written in the "Blood Soul Dragon Pattern," a secret technique passed down by the Dragon Clan.

Not only does the handwriting contain a unique dragon-like charm, but the seal is also made by mixing the blood of one's own dragon with special materials.

It is unique and is agreed to be destroyed after being read!

How could a copy have been leaked?

It's even become known throughout the world?!

This is not just a leak, it's like someone has access to his most private diary.

Stand before the whole world and recite aloud!

They also portrayed him as a heinous culprit who plotted to persecute humanity!

This pushed his East Sea Dragon Palace directly to the opposite side of the entire human race!

Compared to the previous tricks of Black Fiend Valley, which were exposed, it was simply child's play!

"Your Majesty...Your Majesty, please calm your anger!"

Your humble servant... Your humble servant has ordered the entire Shadow Dragon Guard to be mobilized.

All those who have recently come into contact with the relevant confidential documents, participated in the preparation of secret meetings, or even...

Including attendants, stewards, and elders who may have been near His Majesty's study and the place where the seals were kept, totaling 379 people.

They have all been isolated and are undergoing the most rigorous interrogation using the secret technique of "Soul Searching and Refining"!

The Turtle Prime Minister's voice trembled, and his old face was ashen.

"But... those leaked copies of the 'secret letters'."

According to the scouts who were lucky enough to have seen its blurry image, its handwriting possessed a unique charm, and the subtle Daoist spirit flowed through the dragon patterns...

It's seven or eight parts similar to the original!

The forger... is no ordinary person.

This person must have a profound understanding of His Majesty's handwriting, the secret patterns of the dragon race, and even His Majesty's Daoist aura!

"You've even studied my Daoist teachings?"

Upon hearing this, Ao Guang was furious, but then a chill ran through him. He saw a pale face, almost forgotten by him, filled with resentment and bitterness.

It suddenly appeared in my mind with perfect clarity!

Ao Ming!

That person, of impure blood and humble origin, was sent to the Central Continent as a pawn.

He was also reprimanded, stripped of his rank, and even ordered to be hunted down for his poor performance...

illegitimate child!

Yes! That wretched child!

He had been running Baixiaoge for many years, was skilled in intelligence, meticulous, and harbored deep resentment towards his "father"!

Most importantly, the intention and initial plans to restart the alliance.

Before deciding to send him to the Central Continent, he had a discussion with his trusted elders.

He overheard some fragments of the story outside the palace!

Although incomplete, it is based on his character and the intelligence gathering skills he honed at the Hundred Knowledge Pavilion.

Based on an understanding of the writing habits of the Dragon Palace and one's own handwriting style.

Add to that the deep-seated resentment...

They had both the ability and the motive to forge those convincing "secret letters."

And they meticulously planned to reveal the earth-shattering secrets of this "Ancient Covenant".

Throw it out in the most lethal way possible!

Using the wrath of all humanity to take revenge on the Dragon Palace! To take revenge on his father! What a vicious heart!

What a clever scheme!
