Uncovering the Conspiracy and Cleansing the House!

But she showed no panic, and calmly replied, "Yes, my husband."

"I have handed over all authority over the mountain-protecting formation to you." - Lu Yuan's voice.

As soon as he learned of the three men's betrayal, he immediately modified the core array patterns of the entire mountain-protecting formation.

Now, apart from him and Gu Qingxue, no one else can control the Azure Dragon Transformation Formation.

"Disciple understands."

After giving Gu Qingxue his instructions, Lu Yuan sent a wisp of his divine thought into the mind of the sleeping Azure Dragon King deep in the back mountain.

"If the mountain-protecting formation is broken, you must appear immediately and hold off the invading enemy."

The Azure Dragon King, who was fast asleep, was suddenly awakened and hurriedly replied respectfully, "Yes, Master."

Of course, Lu Yuan didn't actually expect the Azure Dragon King to delay for long.

After all, the enemy that came this time had an extremely impressive lineup.

True Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts, True Lord of Heavenly Sword, True Lord of Heavenly Fire.

These three were all Nascent Soul stage cultivators of his generation.

In addition, there is a Nascent Soul stage True Monarch Chi Lian and a Nascent Soul stage True Monarch Tai Xu.

Five Nascent Soul cultivators in total.

This power is enough to sweep across the entire cultivation world of the Zhao Kingdom.

After making all these arrangements, Lu Yuan once again calmed his mind and focused on cultivating his technique.

He had everything under control in the outside world.

……

As mentioned in the intelligence report.

The next day, at noon.

The clear sky above Qingyun Sect suddenly turned dark.

Countless ominous clouds rolled in from the northern horizon, obscuring the sky and the sun.

Powerful and violent demonic energy swept across the heavens and earth.

The group from the Valley of Ten Thousand Beasts has arrived.

Leading the group was none other than the True Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts.

He rode on a massive black water dragon, followed by the vice sect master, True Monarch Chi Lian, and dozens of elders exuding the aura of Golden Core cultivators.

Within the sect, countless disciples stared at the terrifying scene in the sky, their faces turning deathly pale and trembling with fear.

The mountain-protecting formation has already been activated.

A layer of cyan light enveloped the entire Qingyun Sect.

The gaze of the Myriad Beasts True Monarch swept coldly across the cyan light screen below, finally settling on the mountain peak where the Law Enforcement Hall was located.

He did not immediately order a full-scale attack.

He is waiting.

Inside the Hall of Enforcement, Jiang Wuyai also felt the terrifying pressure from the outside world.

A ruthless and resolute glint flashed across his face; he knew he had no way out.

Jiang Wuyai immediately took out a special array plate, formed hand seals, and chanted incantations, attempting to open a gap in the mountain-protecting array from the inside.

However, what he didn't expect was...

The array plate in his hand lit up briefly, then quickly dimmed and became unresponsive.

The protective array surrounding the sect not only failed to open, but instead shone brightly and became even more solid.

"What's going on?" Jiang Wuyai's expression changed slightly in an instant.

Just then, a cold message rang directly in his mind.

"Jiang Wuyai, what are you doing?" It was the voice of the Myriad Beasts True Lord, full of questioning and chill.

Jiang Wuyai panicked and quickly replied, "True Lord, please calm down. For some reason, this formation seems to have some problems. Please give me some more time. I am sure I can open the formation."

The True Lord of Ten Thousand Beasts snorted coldly, but did not immediately retaliate.

He also had some understanding of the protective formation of the Qingyun Sect.

This formation was personally set up by Lu Yuan, and it would not be easy to break through it by force. He needed to save his energy to deal with that old madman.

Since he had an inside man, he was naturally happy to save some effort.

Inside the courtroom.

Jiang Wuyai looked at the malfunctioning array plate in his hand, his expression shifting between light and dark.

He realized that things had probably been exposed.

A ruthless glint flashed across his face.

Now that things have come to this, we have no choice but to take a gamble.

He immediately sent a message to Zhao Wuji and Liu Mengxi.

"The plan has changed. Follow me immediately to Qingyun Peak, capture the sect leader, and force her to open the formation."

In his view, the True Monarch of Ten Thousand Beasts had already descended and caused such a commotion, yet the Ancestor of Azure Cloud still had not shown himself.

There is only one possibility.

That old fellow was so weak that he dared not show his face.

Therefore, he became emboldened and fearless.

Zhao Wuji and Liu Mengxi arrived quickly.

Without the slightest hesitation, the three transformed into three streaks of light and headed straight for the sect's main peak, Qingyun Peak.

However, before they even reached the halfway point...

A cold yet majestic figure, leading dozens of Golden Core cultivators, surrounded the three of them.

Leading the group was none other than Sect Master Gu Qingxue.

Beside her stood Qi Yunhe, the cold-faced peak master of Taichu Peak, and Gu Qingxiao, the upright and righteous head of the Enforcement Hall.

For a moment, Jiang Wuyai felt a little guilty.

Looking into Gu Qingxue's clear, cold eyes that seemed to see through everything, he felt a sense of foreboding.

It seems that his plan was discovered beforehand.

Gu Qingxue stood in mid-air, her clothes fluttering, her gaze cold as she looked down at the three elders with different expressions.

"Three elders, if I remember correctly, the ancestor once issued a decree ordering you to guard your respective array nodes to prevent external enemies."

With a formidable enemy at hand, why have the three of you, instead of overseeing the overall situation from the heart of the formation, come together? What is your intention?

Jiang Wuyai's expression changed slightly, but being an old fox who had lived for hundreds of years, he quickly adjusted his expression.

He stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "Sect Master, please forgive me. I am truly uneasy seeing the demonic clouds pressing down from the mountain and the Myriad Beasts True Monarch approaching with overwhelming force."

He specially summoned Junior Brother Zhao and Junior Sister Liu, intending to come to Qingyun Peak to find the sect leader and discuss a strategy to repel the enemy.

After all, while the mountain-protecting formation is powerful, it still needs someone to preside over it in order to unleash its full potential.

His words were earnest, as if he were truly a loyal and righteous official devoted to the public good.

Zhao Wuji, standing to the side, also echoed in a low voice.

"Indeed, Sect Master, we are only thinking of the sect's safety. With the Ancestor currently in seclusion, the entire sect is filled with anxiety. As elders, we naturally must share your burdens."

As Gu Qingxue watched the two of them singing in unison, a faint sneer curled at the corner of her lips.

"To share my burdens, I think, is just a ploy to force me to abdicate."

She shook her head slightly, her gaze sharp as a sword, piercing straight to the heart.

"Jiang Wuyai, Zhao Wuji, Liu Mengxi, the three of you harbor treacherous intentions, having long since betrayed the sect and sided with foreign enemies. Now, you still want to put on an act in front of me?"

Upon hearing this, the three men's expressions changed drastically.

A flash of anger instantly appeared on Liu Mengxi's charming face.

She pointed at Gu Qingxue and shouted sternly.

"Sect Master, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. We have risked our lives for the sect for hundreds of years. Even if we have no merit, we have still worked hard."

Now that we face a formidable enemy, instead of uniting us, you resort to slander and defamation against loyal and virtuous people. What are your true intentions?

She acted as if she had suffered a great injustice, and her acting skills were superb.
