In the numerous families of the Great Chu Dynasty, as well as the Sacred Lands and various divine treasures, everything must be controlled by the Imperial Family. The reason is simple: in this vast world, the simplest truth is that might makes right. The reason why the Great Chu Royal Family can rule this millennial dynasty is because their power is formidable enough. Whether it be the Taoist sects or Da Sui Sword Palace, even at the peak of their power, they couldn't stand against the Imperial Family. When the first emperor established this grand dynasty, he signed a contract with the lords of the various Sacred Lands. The Sacred Lands borrowed the fortune of the Dragon Vein to thrive and, in turn, fed their fortune back to the Dragon Vein.

Born here, grew up here.

This karma cultivated over a thousand years is truly immense. As long as the Dragon Vein stands, the blessings implanted by the first emperor could allow the descendants of the Great Chu Royal Family to enjoy another millennium.

Demon Race cultivators have a hierarchy of bloodlines.

Great Chu, in fact, does as well.

The talents of the royal descendants generally don't fall short; they possess "Imperial Blood" enhanced by the Dragon Vein.

This time in the Southern Border Demon Cleansing, the "Imperial Clan Orders" held by the governors of the seven Zhanjiao Mountains are crafted by combining the fortune of the Dragon Vein with the Imperial Blood of Great Chu.

With this power.

The orders can ignore the miasma of the South Border, forcibly constructing a perfect and spotless Divine Soul Cave Heaven.

…

…

At this moment, atop the seven Zhanjiao Mountains, there was a faint spatial tremor.

An invisible force crossed space, generating a resonance.

Jiang Que, the governor of Round Turtle Mountain on the southwest frontline, used the "Imperial Clan Order" to request a Divine Soul Meeting.

In the next moment.

The Imperial Blood of the order began to burn.

A very stable Divine Soul Cave Heaven was freely constructed, using the seven Zhanjiao Mountains as its foundation.

The mist thickened.

This Divine Soul Cave Heaven wasn't large, but it was shrouded in celestial energy. After the divine thoughts from seven positions were injected, a vague, large round table took shape. The seven governors, along with the divine thoughts permitted by them, successively entered this Divine Soul space.

There were only a few qualified to use the orders.

But at this moment, there were over twenty figures in the "Divine Soul Meeting."

Regarding the distance from Xuanzhui Mountain.

After Qin Baihuang received the summons from the order, he brought all four Yin God Venerables beside him into this Divine Soul space... his cultivation realm was inadequate, so caution was naturally necessary in such an occasion. Of course, Master Hundred Eyes from the Heavenly Puppet Sect did not qualify for the meeting; entry into the Imperial Clan Order Meeting required a person of pure and clean background at the minimum.

Qin Baihuang glanced at Qingfu Mountain nearby and saw only two people present, one elder and one younger.

Qin Qianlian, and True Master Jun Shan.

Qin Qianlian's white hair fluttered in the wind. From beginning to end, he never glanced in their direction, likely to hide his guilt and pretend the prior message delivery didn't occur.

Martial Sect, Yuqing Pavilion, Qiantian Palace.

Other families' holy mountains brought more than one attendee.

These attendees shared a common characteristic: young and powerful... people like Wu Yue, Shang Yi, and Yu Wenzhong, these "young prodigies," their cultivation realms were just shy of Yin God Realm, not qualified to serve as governors, yet their roles in this Demon Cleansing campaign were quite important. If all went smoothly, they would be the next leaders of the Holy Lands.

After about a dozen breaths.

The attendees from the seven Zhanjiao Mountains were all present.

All eyes converged towards the direction of "Round Turtle Mountain," as this Divine Soul Order was initiated by the Jiang Family of Qing State.

"Elder Jiang Que."

A female guest elder from the Xu Family in Bing State was the first to speak. She said softly, "This Imperial Clan Order is extraordinary... you didn't activate it by mistake, did you?"

The Southern Border Demon Cleansing was, after all, the grandest event in the Great Chu Dynasty in the past decade.

Almost all the Sacred Lands contributed significantly—

But the Demon Cleansing hadn't even started, and the order had already been activated!

What could have happened?

"Such a significant matter, naturally, cannot be taken lightly."

Jiang Que let out a bitter smile and said gently, "Fellow Daoists, thank you for responding... the following matters, I will hand over to 'Xie Zhen' to explain."

Slight murmurings of surprise arose from the other six Zhanjiao Mountains.

The Venerables glanced at each other, some finding it hard to believe.

From Round Turtle Mountain, three attended: the governor Jiang Que, Ye Qinglian, and Xie Xuanyi.

With Xie Xuanyi's current status, his presence in the meeting was undisputed.

However, no one expected him to be the central figure of the meeting.

"Everyone must have already met the 'Guiding Envoys.'

Without preamble, Xie Xuanyi took a step forward and spoke directly: "Just moments ago, while probing the route to Pure White Mountain from the southwest frontline's Round Turtle Mountain, we encountered an ambush from the 'Immaculate Venerable.'"

At these words, yet another wave of surprise voices emerged.

Except for Qingfu Mountain.

The other Zhanjiao Mountains had all already explored the Pure White Mountain… Everyone clearly understood the threat posed by the 'Immaculate Venerable.'

The southwest frontline, being the most remote.

Jiang Que and Ye Qinglian, these two Yin Gods, were only of average strength within the Southern Border Demon Cleansing team.

Even with the reputedly recently ascended Yin God, Xie Zhen, it was unlikely for their mountain's combat power to rank high.

Encountering the Immaculate Venerable unprepared would have been disastrous!

"The three of you don't seem to be hurt."

Qin Qianlian spoke.

"We barely escaped, by luck."

Xie Xuanyi glossed over it and said, "However, the appearance of the Immaculate Venerable brought forth crucial information along with it..."

Slowly, he recounted the details regarding the 'Qian Yuan Taoist.'
