"At the Sect Master's command, my
"Thank you, Sect Master Nie!" Ling Kong hurriedly bowed at the waist. As for how the Divine Feather Sect would treat the Lingyun Sect, he didn't dare have any thoughts on the matter. The fact that the Divine Feather Sect wasn't destroying them was already good enough.
"I've heard that the Lingyun Sect has run into a bit of trouble recently," Nie Li said with a faint smile.
"A trivial matter. How could we dare trouble Sect Master Nie?" Ling Kong said with a bitter smile.
"Now that the Lingyun Sect is a subsidiary of my Divine Feather Sect, how could I, Nie Li, sit idly by?" Nie Li laughed and patted Ling Kong on the shoulder. "My Divine Feather Sect has experts beyond counting. If we can't even handle trouble for a subsidiary sect, how could we command anyone's respect?"
Nie Li turned to
Hearing Nie Li's words, Ling Kong's legs went weak with fright. Two Martial Venerables and five hundred peak Dragon Dao Realm experts — that was more than enough to annihilate the entire Lingyun Sect!
"Sect Master Nie, if I have ever given offense in any way, I beg Sect Master Nie's forgiveness. My Lingyun Sect..." Ling Kong's face turned pale. He knew nothing about Nie Li. What if Nie Li was a tiger with a smiling face, claiming he was helping the Lingyun Sect deal with trouble but then turning around and wiping them out?
Things like that happened far too often in the Dragon Ruins Realm. How could Ling Kong not be terrified?
Hearing Ling Kong's words, Nie Li burst into laughter and patted him on the shoulder. "Young Sect Master Ling Kong, don't be nervous. My Divine Feather Sect is a righteous sect — how could we casually go around annihilating other sects? It's just that the Divine Feather Sect has many important matters ahead, and we'll need Young Sect Master Ling's cooperation."
"Yes, yes, of course!" Ling Kong wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.
The Divine Feather Sect was far too powerful now — powerful to a degree that commanded awe and fear. Ling Kong worried that even a single misspoken word might displease Nie Li, and that would be the end of the Lingyun Sect.
Nie Li glanced at Lu Piao and said with a smile, "Lu Piao, from now on all affairs of the Lingyun Sect are under your sole authority. Help the Lingyun Sect relocate to Mount Wondao in its entirety."
"Understood!" Lu Piao nodded.
Hearing Nie Li's words, Ling Kong secretly despaired. Mount Wondao was only a few hundred li from the Divine Feather Sect — the Divine Feather Sect's forces could arrive within two days at most.
Moreover, Nie Li's tone and manner were extremely forceful, completely disregarding Ling Kong's thoughts. It was clear that if the Lingyun Sect resisted, the consequences would be unimaginable.
Nie Li patted Ling Kong on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Young Sect Master Ling Kong, we will soon be going to war with the
"Thank you, Sect Master Nie." Though a thousand unwilling thoughts swirled in his heart, Ling Kong had no choice but to agree.
"Very well, Lu Piao. Make your preparations and depart together with Young Sect Master Ling Kong," Nie Li said.
"Understood." Lu Piao nodded.
Nie Li glanced at Lu Piao, condensed his voice into a thread, and transmitted it directly to Lu Piao. "Lu Piao, be careful on this journey. Although the Lingyun Sect is awed by our strength, they are ultimately a bunch of fence-sitters and opportunistic scoundrels. They are not to be trusted."
