Lu Chengfeng's order sent shockwaves through the entire Yuncang Sword Sect. Almost all the disciples could not comprehend it, and even with his supreme prestige within the sect, it was still difficult to quell the intense opposition from within.

"I was born here, lived my whole life here. Even if I die, I want to die here."

"If you want to evacuate, you can. But I will never leave."

"That's right, losing a head is just a scar the size of a bowl, what's there to fear? Eighteen years later, I'll be a hero again."

"Isn't it just a woman blocking the door? What's there to be afraid of? At worst, we'll all attack together. Even if we pile up with our numbers, we can crush her."

"If we give up the sect's thousand-year foundation for a woman, the martial world will laugh their teeth off."

"The founder established the sect here and set up the Great Five Elements Extinction Sword Array. If we can't even defend this place, where else can we escape to?"

"Perhaps this is exactly what the enemy plans. Once we leave the sect's grand array, they will send people to wipe us out."

...

The sect was in an uproar, with most expressing confusion, and some even showed extreme and firm opposition.

In such a moment, Lu Chengfeng bore no indulgence for them. Seeing the sect in chaos, he had neither the time nor the inclination to explain and appease everyone one by one.

He charged straight into the sky above Jade Immortal Peak, wielding the Great Five Elements Extinction Divine Light Sword, its dazzling sword light stirred the heavens and earth, severing all debate with its chilling brilliance.

At that moment, all the sect's disciples gathered at Jade Immortal Peak, and everyone turned their gaze to Lu Chengfeng in the sky.

Lu Chengfeng, clad in a Cloud Light Magical Robe, stood in the lengthy sky, with his black hair swept upwards. His eyes transformed into a pure golden hue, and a golden flame burned fiercely at his brow, while the light from the Kun Roc's wings behind him lifted his body.

At this moment, he resembled a Celestial God from myth, enveloped in an immensely terrifying aura that silenced all the chattering disciples into cold cicadas.

"I, Lu Chengfeng, as Sect Leader of the Yuncang Sword Sect, who's bold enough not to follow the Sect Leader's command?"

"No matter what doubts you have, once the Sect Leader's edict is issued, it's not for you to question."

"Whether you understand or not, whether you're willing to comply or not."

"All of you hold your peace and act according to the edict."

"Anyone daring not to comply must first defeat the sword in my hand."

His voice, as mighty as thunder, swept across heaven and earth, with an intimidating dignity that penetrated the soul. The disciples, who had yet to comprehend the true intent of the martial path, trembled solely upon hearing it, drenching themselves in cold sweat.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

In an instant, many kneeled on the ground.

"We adhere to the Sect Leader's command."

Following Li Qingfeng's lead, the echoing responses spread across the mountains and fields as more and more people knelt, and more voices replied, resonating throughout the heavens and earth.

At this moment, an elderly sect elder jumped out and shouted: "Hold on..."

Buzz!

A radiance of five colors descended rapidly, and before anyone could react, the elder was struck on the forehead by this beam of light.

He felt as if an entire mountain had smashed onto his forehead, and his speech halted abruptly, with darkness enveloping him as he fell to the ground.

Lu Chengfeng's thunderous voice echoed in every direction, "Bind him and take him away."

"Li Qingfeng, hear my command."

"At your command." Li Qingfeng stepped forward and loudly proclaimed.

"Anyone else daring to disobey, knock them out and take them away." Lu Chengfeng acted decisively, with no room for negotiation in his words.

"I comply with the Sect Leader's command." Li Qingfeng answered once and then immediately began to act.

After Lu Chengfeng finished instructing, he continued, "All sect disciples, in this moment of crisis, must unite without creating disorder."

"Should anyone pretend to obey while actually defying the decree, delaying the sect's evacuation."

"They shall be killed without mercy!"

"Zhu Yuxian."

"Here." Zhu Yuxian, with his sword on his back, floated out gracefully.

"I command you to supervise the law enforcement. If it merely remains a verbal defiance, it can be ignored. But any obstruction shall be executed without mercy!" Lu Chengfeng's voice was unbearably cold, and the killing intent spread through the sky and earth, even coating the grass and trees in the mountains with a thin layer of frost.

"Yes, Sect Leader!" Zhu Yuxian accepted the order and retreated to the side.

After this event, even though countless within the sect still couldn't understand, support, or were unwilling.

Under Lu Chengfeng's overwhelming pressure, everyone could only obediently act according to the orders.

Of course, there were also some stubborn veterans who had lived their entire lives in Yuncang Mountain and had grown accustomed to staying there, and they were fundamentally unwilling to retreat.

Additionally, some held significant interests in the Yuncang Mountain range, where each peak's unique environment, nurtured by the Great Five Elements Extinction Sword Array and the underground True Dragon corpse, was truly a blessed land, producing countless precious heavenly and earthly treasures.

Once evacuated, they would suffer enormous losses. Although Jade Dragon Mountain could accommodate them in numbers, in terms of environment and resource output, it was worlds apart from the present Yuncang Mountain range.

These people were originally leaders of the Northern Lands' Overlord Sect, and to suddenly have to migrate to a remote mountain range in the Central State, how could they possibly be willing?
