Ren Zong held his forehead with one hand, "You're right, I've wasted so much time on foolish people!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a shriek emanated from within the array Wu Dao had activated.

Everyone hurriedly looked over, only to see that all seven disciples of the Beixuan Upper Sect had perished.

The reflections of Ren Zong and Wu Dao appeared in the eyes of Jiang Qingxue and others; they felt these two were incredibly sinister and ruthless, yet pretended to be so dignified.

"Alright, now there's only the Infinite Sword Sect left. Will you leave on your own, or shall I send you out?"

Wu Dao, dressed in a blue robe, stood within the Golden Treasure Hall, working seamlessly with Ren Zong. The two exuded an air of confidence, as if they had everything under control.

Ren Zong ignored Ning Qi and the others, as the current situation was already set in stone.

Instead, he asked in wonder, "Brother Wu, you've already subdued the seven from Beixuan Upper Sect. Why spare these people?"

Wu Dao retorted, "With Brother Ren's wisdom, do you not understand my intentions?"

Ren Zong smiled, speaking as if nobody else was present:

"Oh, I see. Brother Wu is indeed unmatched in strategy. You're using the two sects of Beixuan Domain as pawns to hold back the development of Beixuan Upper Sect. Have I guessed correctly?"

"You truly understand me, Brother Ren!"

Ren Zong nodded slightly, saying, "With someone like Brother Wu joining our Celestial Star Upper Sect, it will surely gain another Integration Realm giant in the future."

"Brother Ren flatters me. I'm sure you'll enter it first, and I hope you'll guide me then."

"Haha, Brother Wu, you're too kind."

Hearing this, everyone finally understood.

It turned out that Wu Dao and Ren Zong had already made a secret deal to betray their original sects and join the Celestial Star Upper Sect, no wonder they worked so closely together.

In front of the Golden Treasure Hall gate.

These words also naturally reached the ears of the people from Wu Dao's original sect.

One by one, they turned their heads to look at Wu Dao with expressions of disbelief.

Understanding people's minds, Wu Dao could easily guess their thoughts.

"Fellow junior brothers, you should leave as well. Use this opportunity to gather more treasures below to bring back to the sect. Also, remember to tell our master that if I stayed in the sect, my path would end. So for the sake of future development, I must do this."

The group looked as though their very soul was about to leave them; they never imagined that Senior Brother Wu, who was nurtured with all of the sect's resources, would choose to betray them in the Profound Truth Secret Realm.

Among them, one reacted quickly.

"Senior Brother Wu, why don't we follow you into the Celestial Star Upper Sect? If we go back alone, I'm afraid our master will blame us!"

Unexpectedly, Wu Dao reprimanded angrily, "Do you even know what kind of existence the Celestial Star Upper Sect is? Do you think they'll accept anyone like a stray cat or dog? Do you not have any awareness of your own aptitude?"

The person immediately fell into despair, realizing Wu Dao intended to abandon them all to achieve his own end.

They dared not speak further and, feeling soulless, descended the jade steps of the Heavenly Ladder.

Linger any longer, and their senior brother might act mercilessly towards them too!

The entire Golden Treasure Hall was immediately left with the four forces.

Ren Zong, seeing Wu Dao drive away his former sect's junior brothers, suddenly said:

"Brother Wu, isn't it a bit early to drive them away now? Without them, only the disciples and junior sisters of our Celestial Star Upper Sect are left to guard the door, and I'm afraid many more will arrive behind us. Can they safeguard it?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Dao sucked through his teeth.

"I forgot about that! Unfortunately, I have no understanding of the array operation inside this Golden Treasure Hall for the time being. Otherwise, I'd simply close the hall doors, and no one could enter."

Ren Zong brushed off his sleeve, "I think Brother Wu still has some old sentiments and intentionally distanced them. But never mind, with Brother Wu joining us, letting our junior brothers and sisters work a bit harder is nothing."

Wu Dao glanced at Ren Zong, a flicker of displeasure quickly crossing his eyes. Ren Zong was challenging his authority, showing who truly called the shots in the Celestial Star Upper Sect!

"Rest assured, Brother Ren, I'll help you obtain as many treasures as possible."

"Hm!" Ren Zong then glanced at Ning Qi and the others, "Why are you still here? Do you need Brother Wu to kill a few before you accept the reality?"

Ning Qi smiled and clapped his hands, saying calmly:

"Have you finished your performance? Fellow junior brothers and sisters, did you see this grand show?"

Jiang Qingxue replied, "Senior Brother Ning, it was indeed quite a spectacle. I didn't realize the sect rivalries in the Southern True Domain were so deep, I've learned something new."

Xie Chaolu wore a bitter, lovely face, her bright eyes seemingly shrouded in mist.

She muttered, "Senior Sister, suddenly I feel our Infinite Sword Sect is quite fortunate. With Senior Brother Ning around, we almost never encounter such situations."

Jiang Qingxue couldn't help but chuckle, thinking this silly girl was unaware of what Ye Qingtian and Ye Chen had done before their departure.

As a member of the Jiang Family, she couldn't be certain, but she had guessed about seventy or eighty percent of it.

"Brother Niu, how did you find the show?"

Niu Man chuckled dumbly and said:

"Brother Ning, don't equate their actions with all the sects of the Southern True Domain. Our Niu Mo Upper Sect doesn't have that much scheming; all those convoluted plots feel exhausting. Honestly, old Niu here thinks it's better to just settle it directly and see who's the victor!"

Across from them, Ren Zong squinted, not bothering to hide the killing intent radiating from his eyes.

Wu Dao displayed the same demeanor.

"Are you mocking us?"

"Gentlemen, let me clarify something: speaking the truth does not equate to mockery."

Ren Zong coldly replied, "Very well, Brother Wu, I'll leave this to you!"

Wu Dao's pupils reflected the members of the Infinite Sword Sect, as if gazing at dead men.

"Why not let Brother Niu handle it? We've driven away so many people earlier, which also benefits the Niu Mo Upper Sect. Now it's time for Brother Niu to contribute, we can't be the only bad guys, can we?"
