Representatives from One Sect, Two Clans, and Three Holy Lands appeared at the conference, making the Heavenly Punishment Alliance even more anticipated. However, the people from One Sect, Two Clans, and Three Holy Lands were only minor figures, except for the absence of Taishang Sect, which only sent the Holy Daughter, Taihuang Demon, herself. The others were merely here to join in and make a show.

These sects and holy lands have existed in Huaxia for a thousand years! Each dominates a region. Normally, these sects and holy lands rarely interfere with the outside world.

What they aspire to is: strength! Eternal life! But things are different this time. Yanjing has seen the rise of South Heavenly Gate, which in a short half-year nearly swept through Zhonghai, Yanjing, Jiangzhou—the three most developed cities in Great Huaxia—causing a significant impact.

Moreover, with Liu Shen’s Holy Weapon in Lin Zifeng’s possession, the animosity has only increased...

As for the attendees, several major families from Yanjing were present.

Nolan Emperor and his father Nolan He were also involved, and representatives from the Shangguan Family had come. The Ouyang Family was not willing to fall behind.

However, as the conference progressed.

An unexpected guest arrived at the scene. Although termed unexpected, this was actually the mastermind behind spreading the news of Lin Zifeng seizing the Holy Weapon!

"How could it be him! Brother Lin trusted him so much. Why did he betray our South Heavenly Gate?" The hidden members of Hidden Kill were shocked on the spot.

The newcomer was someone they recognized!

"This turncoat, after Brother Lin helped him so much, he’s betraying us now." The Hidden Kill members gritted their teeth.

"Who!"

Suddenly! A young man from the Divine Sky Sect twitched his ears, swiftly capturing the origin of the sound.

"Swoosh!"

The young king from the Divine Sky Sect charged out of the crowd, spreading his arms wide as his hands opened and closed!

"Leave quickly!"

The two Hidden Kill members who had infiltrated knew things weren’t going well; their identities had been exposed.

"Bang!" The young striker from the Divine Sky Sect struck the chest of one of the Hidden Kill members, crunching—several ribs were completely broken.

"Poof!"

The Hidden Kill member spat a mouthful of blood water on the spot. Meanwhile, the other member nearly turned around and fled, causing chaos at the conference.

"Trying to escape? It’s not that easy!"

Taihuang Demon slapped the table, drew a longsword, and with a swish, the longsword cut through the air, poof... it pierced through the chest cavity of the fleeing Hidden Kill member. Blood splattered!

As the crowd turned to look at Taihuang Demon, she coldly approached, slowly extracting the longsword from the body and tested the blood on the blade with a small white cloth.

Taishang Sect has three swords, namely: Heartless, Forgetful, Emotionless.

It is said these three swords were crafted by Supreme Emperor. They were made after breaking away from the Lin Family, carrying profound significance.

"Crash～"

The entire venue was shocked.

With the presence of South Heavenly Gate members, the unexpected guest finally showed a changing complexion, silently brewing a vicious resolve to annihilate South Heavenly Gate before Lin Zifeng returns. Once South Heavenly Gate is destroyed, he may rest easy.

"Ladies and gentlemen. I suggest we conclude the conference here. With South Heavenly Gate members already infiltrating, I think we need to act ahead of time. Otherwise, once South Heavenly Gate is fully prepared, it could cost us even more to annihilate them."

Speaking up was an elder from the Divine Sky Sect. As soon as these words were out, they were met with unanimous approval from everyone present. All agreed on taking action against South Heavenly Gate ahead of schedule.

...

Soon enough, the so-called Heavenly Punishment Alliance came up with a secure plan, now just waiting for an opportunity to launch a massive attack plan against South Heavenly Gate...

And that night～

Meng Chanji quickly received word that a dispatched Ability Group member had been intercepted and killed en route. Furthermore, South Heavenly Gate had sent several experts to infiltrate, but news came that Hidden Kill members were also wiped out!

Meng Chanji dared not delay, rushing overnight to South Heavenly Gate headquarters, demanding an urgent meeting!

This meeting included high-level officials from the Ability Group and all senior members of South Heavenly Gate. After all, if such a major incident truly happened, it would pose a huge threat to South Heavenly Gate and the Ability Group.

Meng Chanji clearly knew that South Heavenly Gate was facing a major crisis!

"A major incident has occurred! South Heavenly Gate is in big trouble!"

The conference room was already filled, Meng Chanji pushed open the door, and inside smoke swirled as everyone was at their wits’ end.

"Elder Meng, you came here just to tell us about this?" Jia Zhenjing sat in the center, cigarette dangling from his mouth, slowly raised his head and glanced at Meng Chanji.

"Isn’t this matter serious enough?!" Meng Chanji glared.

Immediately sitting among them, he sat with the Ability Group high-level figures. Everyone present was a backbone member of South Heavenly Gate.

Black Hawk, Bu Chen, Huo Zhengfeng, Shuobude, Phantom, Mu Yang, Nangong Shui, the old man, Jia Zhenjing...

"No matter how big a matter is, isn’t there still people to handle it? What else can we do?" Jia Zhenjing rolled his eyes at him, then scanned the assembled people.

With a serious look, he said: "I guess everyone already knows what happened tonight. Now, the crisis of South Heavenly Gate is right before us. Our young Lin is not in Yanjing now; he’s gone to the Amazon Rainforest, and we can’t hope he returns in time. However, after tonight, in the coming days, or even weeks, if South Heavenly Gate faces any drastic changes, I hope that everyone can join together, even if it’s to the last moment of life, we must hold on! This isn’t about South Heavenly Gate’s interests, this is a personal dignity issue, and even more about South Heavenly Gate’s dignity!"

"Old Jia, now isn’t the time to talk about this, better speak about how to deal with this matter!"

Meng Chanji was anxious like ants crawling inside his heart. South Heavenly Gate was on the cusp of a storm, and the most important thing was how to resolve this crisis.

"Oh! Then you speak. I was never born to be a leader. What I said was all copied from somewhere else. Your ancestors’ ancestors, if I knew so much, I wouldn’t have wasted so much effort speaking here." Jia Zhenjing was speechless. What he said earlier was indeed a bit redundant.

After all, this guy wasn’t born to be a leader. Fighting is fine, though. 𝗳𝚛𝗲𝕖𝕨𝕖𝗯𝚗𝚘𝕧𝕖𝗹.𝗰𝗼𝕞

"Alright, alright. I came here tonight just to make a few points. Tonight, our Ability Group received word that in Jiangzhou a ’Heavenly Punishment Alliance’ was held, the meaning of punishment, everyone should understand, is directed at our South Heavenly Gate.

And among this Heavenly Punishment Alliance are gathered experts from various forces. Of course, only from domestic forces, not including foreign forces. Even if it’s only a domestic force alliance, we can’t take it lightly. Reports say Taishang Sect is involved, along with Two Clans and Three Holy Lands, those among you who may not be familiar with these.

However, I can clearly tell everyone, that these Two Clans and Three Holy Lands are terrifying forces compared to Taishang Sect. Once these forces act against South Heavenly Gate, the crisis level is unimaginable, a single Taishang Sect is already a headache. If all these forces mobilize, even ten South Heavenly Gates might not be able to withstand it!"
