I'm invincible once I descend the mountain; the beautiful CEO is forcing me to get our marriage

three days later.

Wu Dong Province, the annual grand event of the Martial Arts Association.

The province's top "one temple, two religions, three sects and four families" leaders gathered together.

The venue was set up at Qiyun Villa, which was antique and had a solemn atmosphere.

Chairman He Zhenshan sat in the main seat, his gaze calmly sweeping across the entire room.

When his gaze fell on the seating area of ​​the "Three Gates", his brows furrowed almost imperceptibly.

The location of Juyue Gate is empty.

The people below noticed and began to whisper among themselves.

He Zhenshan picked up his teacup and gently blew on the steam.

The Juyue Sect has become increasingly arrogant in recent years, yet they have never missed a grand event of this caliber.

It seems that the old sect leader has been in seclusion for too long, and the new generation of young people no longer understand what rules are.

He put down his teacup and, in a low voice, instructed the steward beside him, "Send someone to the Juyue Sect's mountain gate to check and urge them. Tell them I'll only wait half an hour."

The deacon bowed in agreement and quickly left.

The room fell silent again, but a subtle sense of anticipation filled the air.

Half an hour passed quickly.

Just as He Zhenshan's patience was about to run out, the meeting room door was suddenly kicked open.

The disciple who was sent rushed in, stumbling and crawling, his face as white as paper, and his whole body trembling violently.

He pointed out the direction beyond the mountain, making a hissing sound in his throat, his eyes wide open as if they were about to burst, but he couldn't utter a single complete word.

"Useless! So easily flustered in the face of adversity."

He Zhenshan slammed his hand on the table and stood up.

"What kind of behavior is this!"

After he finished cursing, his heart sank.

This disciple was his trusted confidant, quite capable, and calm; he would never be so easily frightened by such a trivial matter.

problem occurs.

He Zhenshan immediately realized that something was wrong.

He glanced at the several sect leaders present and said in a deep voice, "Let's go and see for ourselves."

"That's how it should be..."

The atmosphere in the entire venue instantly became extremely tense.

The group of more than ten people, all pillars of the martial arts world in Wudong Province, all had serious expressions as they hurried toward Juyue Sect.

When they reached the foot of the mountain, everyone stopped in their tracks.

The magnificent mountain gate, built of massive stones, stood there quietly, yet it was strangely eerie.

It was so quiet all around.

Not a single bird call or insect chirp could be heard.

An indescribable sense of oppression enveloped everyone's hearts.

He Zhenshan stepped forward, took a deep breath, gathered his inner strength, and slammed his palms against the heavy stone door.

"Creak—"

With a screeching sound, the door slowly opened.

A strange smell, a mixture of dust and something rotting, hit me.

The scene behind the door left everyone present frozen in place.

The spacious training ground was filled with people lying haphazardly.

There are hundreds of them.

Without exception, all of these people had turned into shriveled corpses, their skin clinging tightly to their bones, like cured meat that had been dried for over a decade.

Even more bizarrely, the expressions on their faces were all frozen in their last moments before death.

Some people were still in a punching stance, some were still holding rice bowls, and some were turning their heads to talk to their companions...

Time seemed to have been abruptly taken away in a single instant.

An elder from one of the "two sects" and well-versed in medicine stepped forward tremblingly, squatted down, and examined a corpse.

A moment later, he suddenly took two steps back and sat down on the ground with a thud, his face turning even more ashen than those of the dried corpses.

His voice was filled with uncontrollable fear.

"My energy, vitality, and spirit... are all gone!"

"Their life force has been completely drained! This is demonic magic! The most vicious demonic magic!"

Chairman He's heart sank to the bottom.

Without further hesitation, he immediately led his men to the back mountain, the forbidden area where the sect leader of the Juyue Sect was in seclusion.

The stone gate to the forbidden area was tightly closed. He Zhenshan and several other experts worked together to forcefully open it with a single palm strike.

The stone door shattered, revealing the scene inside.

That one glance shattered their last shred of hope.

In the dimly lit secret room, the sect leader of the Giant Mountain Sect, who had reached the Celestial Realm decades ago and whose strength was unfathomable, sat cross-legged on the futon.

He too became a dried-up corpse.

His eyes were wide open, his face showing extreme terror and disbelief, as if he had seen something he could not understand before he died.

The news reached Qiyun Manor.

The entire venue remained silent for a good dozen breaths.

Those experts from various sects who had returned with He Zhenshan were all ashen-faced. They returned to their seats, their hands trembling as they picked up their teacups, spilling tea all over the table.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back any longer and asked in a hoarse voice.

"What... happened?"

"Juyue Gate..." An elder who had been there stammered, his Adam's apple bobbing, but he couldn't utter a complete word.

This appearance is more chilling than any words.

Finally, one of the younger sect leaders couldn't hold back any longer. He slammed his hand on the table and stood up abruptly: "Speak! What exactly happened to the Juyue Sect? Did they disrespect Chairman He and attack you?"

"Make a move?" The elder laughed bitterly, as if he had heard the funniest joke. "If only we could make a move..."

He took a deep breath, as if using all his strength, and roared, "Juyue Sect, gone! All gone!"

"What?"

"Are you kidding me!"

"More than three hundred people, just gone like that?"

A sudden uproar erupted, and the entire venue instantly boiled over, as if a ladle of hot oil had been poured over it.

Doubt, astonishment, disbelief—a mix of emotions clung to everyone's faces.

He Zhenshan raised his hand and pressed it down.

He didn't speak, but the noise in the hall gradually subsided.

All eyes were on him, waiting for the president of the martial arts association to give a final answer.

"Of the 347 members of Juyue Sect, not a single one survived." He Zhenshan's voice was flat, revealing no emotion, but each word struck the hearts of the crowd like a stone.

"The body was shriveled up, its essence, energy, and spirit completely drained."

"Even the former sect leader of Juyue Sect...?" A sect leader who had a past with the former sect leader of Juyue Sect asked in a trembling voice.

He Zhenshan nodded slowly.

At this point, everyone became restless.

A powerful expert at the Celestial Realm died silently, without even a trace of resistance.

What does this mean?

This means that the murderer who used demonic powers was probably stronger than anyone present could have imagined.

"Outrageous!" The leader of the Bagua Sect slammed his palm on the table, cracking the hard mahogany surface. "This is a slap in the face to the entire Wu Dong martial arts world!"

"We must investigate! Investigate thoroughly! I want to see who has such audacity!"

"Yes! Find this monster and tear him to pieces!"

The crowd was outraged, and shouts of violence and killing rose and fell.

"Investigate? How?" A somewhat sarcastic voice rang out; it was the Flying Goose Sect Master. "Even the Giant Mountain Sect Master was dealt with silently. Does anyone here consider themselves stronger than him?"

The scene froze.

"Are we just going to let it go like this?" the Bagua Sect leader roared.

"Of course we can't just let it go," the Flying Goose Sect Master said slowly. "But even an investigation requires a method. Right now, the enemy is in the dark while we are in the light. We don't even know if they're human or ghosts. Are we just going to throw our lives away by charging in headfirst?"

It may be harsh to say, but it's the truth.

A chill ran down everyone's spine.

Yes, who will be next?

Is it myself?

"President He!" A patriarch from a prominent family stepped forward, his face filled with excitement. "The Zhang family! It must have been the Zhang family who did it!"

"The Zhang family and the Juyue Sect had a feud some time ago. Now that the Juyue Sect is in trouble, Zhang Shaojie, the head of the Zhang family, is making excuses for not showing up. There must be something fishy going on!"

The second elder, who was representing the Zhang family, was so frightened by what he heard that he immediately knelt on the ground.

"Injustice! Guild Master, please see the truth! Although our patriarch is a quasi-celestial being, how could he possibly have the ability to destroy the entire Juyue Sect? We wouldn't dare even if we had a hundred lives!"

"Fool!" Chairman He sneered, interrupting the crowd's discussion. "Do you think I don't know Zhang Shaojie's skill level? He couldn't even withstand a single move from that old man from the Juyue Sect, let alone wipe out an entire family? The murderer must be someone else!"

The room fell silent again.

Everyone felt a chill rise from the soles of their feet.

Even the sect leader of the Giant Mountain Sect, who was at the Celestial Realm, died silently. Just how strong must the murderer be?

Just then, from the corner, a well-informed patriarch of a powerful family spoke up in a dry voice.

"I...I received a message a few days ago."

He swallowed hard and said with difficulty, "Three days ago, the young master of the Juyue Sect, along with his three protectors, went to Jiangnan..."

"The target seems to be that girl from the Lin family in Jiangnan, supposedly for a marriage alliance. That girl is also the successor of the alchemy techniques of Medicine King Valley... and Master Ye from Jiangnan also seemed to have appeared in Medicine King Valley three days ago."

These words struck the minds of everyone present like a bolt of lightning.

Inside the venue, everyone held their breath for a moment.

Medicine King Valley!

Master Ye of Jiangnan!

Qixia Mountain, where the sword cuts through the clouds and the landscape!

These words instantly came together.

Everyone present knew perfectly well what kind of "marriage alliance" Juyue Sect was.

That young sect leader went to Jiangnan to retrieve his own family's alchemy furnace.

Medicine King Valley has become Master Ye's private backyard...

Then, he kicked the iron plate.

No... that's not a metal plate.

It was an ancient sacred mountain that could crush everything into powder.

A conclusion that sent chills down their spines and made their scalps tingle came to everyone's mind.

That mysterious Master Ye from Jiangnan not only killed the young master and protector of the Juyue Sect who had offended him.

He even followed the clues directly from this trivial matter, traveling thousands of miles to find the mountain gate of Juyue Sect.

Then, the entire sect, from top to bottom, from disciples to the reclusive Celestial Ancestor, was uprooted.

Not even a chicken or a dog was spared.

Dead silence.

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

The sect leaders who had previously clamored for a thorough investigation to uphold the dignity of the Wu Dong martial arts world were now all bowing their heads, not daring to utter a single word.

He Zhenshan stood in the main seat for a long time without moving.

Finally, he took a deep breath and stood up straight again.

His voice was hoarse, yet it carried an undeniable resolve.

"This matter ends here."

"Juyue Sect has only itself to blame; it provoked an existence it shouldn't have."

He surveyed the entire room, his gaze sweeping across every face, and announced, word by word:

"From this day forward, the Juyue Sect will no longer exist within the Wudong Province Martial Arts Association! Their name is removed from the 'Three Sects'!"

"No one is allowed to discuss this matter further, nor are they permitted to travel to Jiangnan to seek any information about that... 'Master Ye'!"

"Those who violate this rule will be considered to be enemies of the entire Wu Dong martial arts community!"

The meeting ended unhappily.

The leaders of the various factions, filled with a deep-seated fear, hastily departed.

Upon returning to their respective sects and families, the first orders they issued were almost identical.

"All disciples are strictly forbidden from setting foot in the Jiangnan region, not even half a step, without a valid reason!"
