Boom! Boom! Boom!

At Zhao Yi's command, all the Tier Nine Saint King Realm experts, except for the old monk Hui An, spewed blood and were sent flying like broken kites.

In the Martial Arts Arena, the young disciples were all shocked to witness this scene.

Those Tier Nine Saint King Realm experts were the pinnacle of combat strength for each major sect, holding positions of great authority and esteem in the eyes of the younger generation.

The Great Xia Zhao Clan has suppressed the Cultivation Realm for over a thousand years, and the disciples of the cultivation sects have long been dissatisfied.

Before the rise of Great Xia, the Cultivation Realm's status far exceeded that of the Mortal World.

Mortals in the Mortal World were not even worthy to serve the Immortals of the Cultivation Realm.

After the rise of the Great Xia Zhao Clan, the status of the Cultivation Realm and the Mortal World was completely reversed.

Not only did the Mortal World stop worshiping the Immortals of the Cultivation Realm, but the Great Xia Zhao Clan would destroy an entire sect if the disciples of the immortal sects slaughtered a few mortals.

The Cultivation Realm, towering for tens of thousands of years, now lives worse than peasants, which is unbearable for the Immortals.

In earlier years, the disciples of the Cultivation Realm's sects feared the ruthlessness of the Great Xia Zhao Clan and always kept a low profile.

In recent centuries, seeing the Cultivation Realm no longer dared to bully mortals, the Zhao Clan thought they had reformed and thus eased their suppression of the cultivation sects.

However, the Cultivation Sects took the Zhao Clan's restraint as a sign of weakness.

Coupled with the spreading legends of the Zhao Clan's madness,

The Cultivation Realm felt that the Zhao Clan might be losing power.

Thus, they began to stir up trouble.

The Immortal Alliance was born under such circumstances.

Influence flows down from the top.

As the elders of the sects lacked respect for the Great Xia Zhao Clan, the younger disciples even more so disregarded the Zhao Clan.

Earlier, when the high-levels of each major sect, led by the old monk Hui An, forced Zhao Yi into a corner, the young ones cheered on excitedly, believing the Zhao Clan was of no consequence.

But what happened next was completely contrary to their assumptions.

Zhao Yi not only wasn't suppressed by the united sects, his bodyguards defeated the Tier Nine Saint King Realm experts of the major sects in one face-off.

Moreover, Zhao Yi intended to kill everyone!

Only then did those disciples remember the rumors of the Four Seas Commerce Association's destruction.

It turned out the Zhao Clan really dared to kill!

Seeing the hundreds of Great Cultivators of Tier Eight and above approaching, the young cultivators in the Martial Arts Arena were nearly scared to tears.

"You can't kill us, the law doesn't punish the masses!"

"We are the most talented of the younger generation in the Cultivation Realm. If you kill us, the realm will lose its future, and the Eye of Celestial Tribulation won't spare you!"

"Crown Prince, it's a misunderstanding! Our head was just joking, Little Leiyin Temple has never meant to betray the Great Xia royal family."

"The Sword Sect is the same!"

"So is our Artifact Sect!"

"The Medicine Sect also dares not defy the will of the Great Xia Zhao Clan!"

The young disciples of the major sects reacted quickly.

Seeing Zhao Yi truly intent on killing, they immediately softened and begged for mercy, entirely abandoning their cultivator pride.

This scene left members of the smaller sects dumbfounded.

Such a drastic change, how ridiculous!

The cultivators of the major sects didn't take the mockery from the smaller sects to heart. If some thin-skinned young disciples wanted to curse back, they were promptly stopped by the elders.

Being scolded a few times, how much do face and pride matter?

At the brink of life and death, who cares about those foolish remarks.

If one could survive this tribulation, it wouldn't matter even if they had to put their face on the ground to be trampled.

If reputation truly concerned them, they could always kill those from the small sects.

Dead men tell no tales!

Seeing the towering Great Cultivators above, the cultivators of the major sects trembled all over, the fear of the Zhao Clan resurfacing in their minds.

"There are no members of the Zhao royal family!"

The observant cultivators noticed the guards above and their expressions grew serious.

Others, hearing this, had their faces changed, too.

Several hundred years ago, the Great Xia Court suppressed the Cultivation Realm, and it was primarily Zhao Clan members who took the lead.

Years passed, as the Great Xia Court revealed its might again, they no longer needed Zhao's members to take action.

The people of the major sects aren't complete fools, they wouldn't stupidly assume that the Zhao Clan's use of outsiders signifies a decline in their main force.

Quite the opposite.

The Great Xia Zhao Clan's employment of outsiders isn't because of decline, but perhaps due to their excessive strength.

The Zhao's were confident in handling any unexpected situations, and these outsiders couldn't stir up any trouble in the face of Zhao's overwhelming power, thus they boldly employed them.

The people of the major sects exchanged glances, their hearts sinking.

They finally understood.

The Zhao Clan's neglect of the Cultivation Realm over these centuries wasn't due to lacking power, but because they looked down on them.

They mistook the situation, believing it was time to overthrow the Zhao Clan, even establishing the Immortal Alliance for this purpose.

Now it all seems laughable!

"Your Highness, this humble monk agrees to pardoning the remnants of the Heaven-Facing Sect!"

Hui An of Little Leiyin Temple was the least injured among the Tier Nine Saint King Realm individuals.

The old monk reacted the fastest as well.

Taking advantage of the delay in the other Tier Nine Saint King Realm experts' reactions due to their injuries, Hui An decisively betrayed.

"Amitabha."

Hui An, enduring the severe pain in his abdomen, muttered a Buddhist chant.

The punch from Zhao Yi nearly broke his intestines.

The old monk's quick betrayal was out of sheer fear of Zhao Yi.

He possessed the Tier Nine Saint King Realm, and his Buddhist Cultivation Technique focused more on defense than attack.

Hui An's physical body surpassed that of the other Tier Nine Saint King Realm experts by far.
