How can simply creating a sect make you invincible?

The abbot's eyes widened in anger, his hands clenched into fists, and he exuded a chilling aura. He roared, "Immediately summon all elders and disciples who are outside back to the temple!"

The abbot's voice boomed like a bell, causing the surrounding air to hum. The monks dared not delay and immediately obeyed, and the temple was instantly bustling with activity.

At the same time, the abbot, accompanied by several Dharma protectors, rushed to the place where the soul tablets were kept. Staring at the shattered soul tablets scattered on the ground, his face was as gloomy as the sky before a storm. "Who on earth is so bold as to lay a hand on so many eminent monks of my Wanfo Temple!" the abbot said through gritted teeth.

"Investigate! Investigate right now!"

"Abbot, didn't Junior Brother Xuanji and the others go to the Eastern Region to make arrangements? This matter might be related to the Myriad Dharma Sect. I wish to investigate it personally. Amitabha!"

"Amitabha! Brother Huineng, I'm sorry to trouble you to make the trip yourself."

Inside the Sect Master's Hall

Lu Chen, sitting high on the sect leader's chair, glanced at the elders below, including Mu Qingcheng.

All the elders looked at Lu Chen with expressions of eagerness to fight.

"Qingcheng, is there anyone in your family whom you trust and who has some talent?" Lu Chen asked.

After pondering for a moment, Mu Qingcheng replied, "Master, I have a cousin named Mu Wange. He has decent talent and is currently at the Golden Core stage."

"What kind of person is he?" Lu Chen continued to ask.

"He's a decent person, always taking good care of his younger siblings. What's wrong, Master? Is there something you need?"

"I intend to destroy the Heavenly Decree Dynasty, but after its fall, such a vast territory will inevitably descend into chaos without anyone to govern it, and the people will suffer the most. Therefore, I wish to select someone from your family to inherit this dynasty."

"Disciple thanks Master on behalf of his elder brother."

"But you must tell your brother that once he becomes emperor, he must be diligent in governing and care for the people, do more to benefit them, and promptly revise any unreasonable policies. If any powerful family dares to oppose him, my Wanfa Sect will help eliminate them; if he neglects his duties, indulges in debauchery, and levies exorbitant taxes, I don't mind replacing him with another emperor," Lu Chen instructed.

"I understand, disciple. I will definitely remind my brother."

"Elder Mo Wentian, Elder Lin Jingming, and Elder Lu Qingfeng, the three of you, along with Qingcheng, are responsible for annihilating all members of the Tianyu Dynasty's royal family and anyone else involved in this matter."

"Yes, sir! I will obey your command!"

After the four men left to carry out their orders, Lu Chen took out a dark yellow scroll from his ring. The entire scroll was covered in profound ancient runes and floated in mid-air.

Lu Chen wrote on the decree: "Decree proclaims: The Xiao family has provoked my Wanfa Sect without cause. Now, my Wanfa Sect, carrying the decree of the Great Emperor, will annihilate the Xiao family!" Lu Chen wrote the word "kill" at the end of the decree.

Then, Lu Chen infused his attack into the word "kill".

Looking at the words on the decree, Nangong Yuan asked in a trembling voice, "Sect Master, is this the Emperor's decree?"

Upon hearing Nangong Yuan's words, Lu Chen smiled but did not reply.

After emerging from the secret realm, Nangong Yuan has recovered and his cultivation level has returned to the first level of Quasi-Emperor.

"Elder Chu Feng, Elder Feng Jiuye, and Elder Chu Tian, ​​the three of you will take my decree and annihilate the Xiao family."

"Yes, Sect Master!" Chu Feng accepted the decree with a smile on his face.

After the three left, Lu Chen continued, "Elder Chu Yun, Elder Gu Zhenshan, Elder Feng Dao, Elder Fa Yu, Elder Nangong Yuan, the five of you go and destroy the Heavenly Fiend Palace."

"Yes, sir! I will obey your command!"

Then, Lu Chen looked at the remaining five elders: "Elder Li Cangming, Elder Lei Wanjun, Elder Zhan Wuji, Elder Fengfa, and Elder Fayu, the five of you go and destroy the Wanfo Temple."

Hua Ruoxi watched in the hall as orders were issued, her heart filled with shock. When Nangong Yuan said that the sect leader had produced an imperial edict, her eyes widened even more, her mind reeling. An imperial edict—that was a legendary object possessing unparalleled authority and power; possessing it was like obtaining the will of the emperor, capable of destroying anything it pointed at. Only now did she truly realize the immense confidence and strength of this young sect leader before her; he was, in fact, a legendary emperor!

Mu Qingcheng and her companions looked down at the Tianyu Dynasty. Inside the palace, Emperor Li was discussing with his two ancestors about seeking help from the Wanfo Temple, completely unaware of the impending calamity.

Mo Wentian's eyes were icy cold. With a flick of his sleeve, a sharp spell shot towards the palace's grand formation. The formation couldn't withstand the fierce attack and shattered with a crash.

The entire palace shook violently in an instant. Emperor Li and the two patriarchs were so shocked that they stood up abruptly. Before they could react, Mo Wentian appeared in front of them like a ghost.

"Who are you, daring to trespass on my Tianyu Dynasty!" Emperor Li shouted, his voice stern but his voice weak.

"I am a member of the Myriad Laws Sect, sent by my sect leader to annihilate your Heavenly Decree Royal Family!" Mo Wentian said coldly. He then attacked first, his powerful spiritual energy transforming into countless sharp blades that slashed towards the three. The two patriarchs hurriedly summoned their magical treasures to defend themselves, but the treasures shattered instantly upon contact with the attacks, the blades striking the three with devastating force.

Emperor Li was cut in two and died on the spot, while the two patriarchs were also on the verge of death.

Mo Wentian casually launched two more attacks, and the two patriarchs of the Tianyu Dynasty perished.

Lu Qingfeng and Lin Jingming, along with Mu Qingcheng, began to clear out the royal family members in the palace. Wherever they went, the enemies fell one after another, and for a time the entire palace was filled with shouts of killing.

Everyone in the capital city looked toward the palace, speculating about what had happened.

Some court officials had guessed the likely cause, knowing it might be Wanbekzong's revenge. Some officials had initially strongly opposed sending troops to Wanbekzong, but Emperor Li hadn't listened, leading to this current predicament.

After an incense stick had burned for a while, the entire palace fell silent. All the princes, princesses, members of the imperial family, and some guards loyal to the royal family had been executed. The remaining palace maids, eunuchs, and soldiers knelt on the ground, trembling with fear.

Mo Wentian arrived above the imperial city in one step and declared domineeringly, "For the next two days, no one is allowed to leave the imperial city. All officials must attend court on time tomorrow. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!" His voice resounded throughout the entire imperial city, and everyone heard it clearly.

On this day, the entire imperial city was filled with unease.

After landing on the ground, Mo Wentian said, "Master Mu, let's go to your residence first."

At this moment, Mu Lingzhi was already waiting at the entrance of the Mu residence. Upon seeing Mu Qingcheng, a smile spread across his face as he stepped forward and said, "My good daughter, you're finally back!"

"Father," Mu Qingcheng replied simply.

"Junior Mu Lingzhi greets the three seniors."

"Okay, let's go in."

"Send someone to fetch your Mu Wange," Mo Wentian said.

"Mu Wange? May I ask what business you have with Wange, senior?"

"Just go when I tell you to."

"Yes...yes...yes...I'll go right away!" Mu Lingzhi replied hastily.

"Master Mu, your father seems to be a bit too ambitious."

"Elders, my father has always been like this. If he were truly good, he wouldn't have sent me away for such a small benefit," Mu Qingcheng replied with a bitter smile.

"Come on, I'll take you inside."

Inside the main hall of the Mu residence, Mo Wentian sat at the head of the table.

At this moment, Mu Lingzhi led Mu Wange in.

"Seniors, this is Wan Ge. Wan Ge, why don't you greet the seniors?"

"This junior sings a eulogy to the three seniors."

Mo Wentian sized up Mu Wange, noticing his striking features and handsome appearance, and nodded to himself, "Hmm, indeed quite good. Get up. Do you know why I called you here?"

"This junior is foolish and does not know; please enlighten me, senior."

"It's mainly because Master Mu strongly recommended you to the Grand Master. Now that the Tianyu Dynasty has been destroyed by us, the country cannot be without a ruler for a day, so this imperial throne should be yours."

"Huh? Senior, what did you say? You want me to be the emperor? I can't do it, and I don't know how to govern a country!" Mu Yuange exclaimed in surprise.

Upon hearing that Mu Yuge wanted to become emperor, the elders of the Mu family immediately became excited and hurriedly said, "Yuge, how can you let down your senior's painstaking efforts? If you don't understand, you can learn!"

"That's right! Many members of our Mu family have served as officials and governed the country; teaching you how to be an emperor would be far too easy!"

Mo Wentian naturally understood what these people were thinking, so he said, "After Wan Ge becomes emperor, you should not think about undermining him, but just assist him properly. The sect leader has given the following orders: First, be diligent in governing and love the people; second, revise unreasonable policies; third, do not neglect your duties, indulge in debauchery, or impose exorbitant taxes."

"If you are a tyrant, our sect leader won't mind replacing you. As long as you act as emperor well, our Myriad Laws Sect will not interfere too much."

"Cousin Wange, why don't you thank Elder Mo!" Mu Qingcheng quickly gave her cousin a wink.

"Thank you, seniors! I will certainly strive to do as you have said!"

"Very well, some matters can be discussed at court tomorrow. Patriarch Mu, send someone to tidy up the palace."
