The Creation Heavenly Mystery Jade Tablet's incomplete deduction back then was not false.
At this moment.
Chen Jiuyang sat high above, his indifferent voice uttered.
"Exterminate the clan!" The moment the two words fell, they exploded like rolling thunder, reverberating and striking the hearts of thousands of people.
These thousands of people kneeling on one knee immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"This one, it seems he truly received the Ancestor's decree and intends to get serious."
"But this one gave us three days to self-examine, and now he's setting another trap."
Many people felt cold sweat trickling down their backs. They forced themselves to maintain a calm expression, not daring to look up or make any unusual movements.
For a moment, the thousands of people in black fell into deathly silence, not daring to utter a sound.
A sharp glint flashed in Chen Jiuyang's eyes, and he said coldly, "Where is the Grand Elder of the Punishment Hall?"
The Grand Elder of the Han clan's Punishment Hall immediately stood up from his kneeling position, cupped his fists, and respectfully said, "Sect Master!"
Chen Jiuyang curled his fingers and tapped the armrest of the dragon throne. His eyes, which flickered with Dao rhythm, revealed a trace of his personal martial dao will, like an invisible mountain pressing down on everyone, making their breathing difficult.
He spoke, "Are the rebels involved in this only these over a hundred pigs and dogs before me?"
The Grand Elder of the Han clan's Punishment Hall replied, "Reporting to the Sect Master, your subordinate and others have screened them no less than a hundred times... They acted covertly, and their involvement was not widespread. It is indeed only these over a hundred... pigs and dogs!" As he said this, he himself answered cautiously, fearing that he might anger this person at this juncture.
The next moment, an extremely sharp killing intent descended upon the entire hall, and the temperature immediately dropped below zero.
"Ah!"
"Pfft, pfft, pfft!!!"
Chen Jiuyang raised one hand, and a trace of that terrifying and unparalleled Imperial Dao power poured out. The over a hundred people involved in the assassination of his relatives before him immediately cried out in pain. Fiery flames suddenly ignited from their bodies, and then they turned into bloody mist and residue, dying without even a complete corpse.
Thousands of people's hearts immediately chilled, and their faces tightened.
"This one has such a great killing intent!"
"However, it is also normal. To reach the unprecedented Imperial Realm at such a young age, in our Saint Dao's long history, there has never been such an astonishing Sect Master. It is both good and bad."
Only now did Chen Jiuyang finally reveal his edge in front of them, killing a hundred people with a flick of his finger. How could this not shock their hearts and put heavy pressure on their minds?
Many people's eyelids twitched wildly. Fortunately, the Grand Elder of the Punishment Hall had pleaded for them and did not reveal the truth. Although they had not participated in this matter, they had chosen to ignore it and watch from the sidelines.
If the Grand Elder of the Punishment Hall were to accuse anyone now, with Chen Jiuyang's current state, he would surely annihilate them and then send people to exterminate their clans.
After years of tempering and biding his time, allowing these demonic path powerhouses to act arrogantly, he, the Sect Master of the True Demon Sect, had faced danger several times, yet these demonic path family powerhouses had never intervened, treating him, the Sect Master, as if he were nothing, not taking him seriously.
But now, it was completely different.
The strong smell of blood hung in the air, and no one dared to use their Dharma power or True Qi to disperse it, allowing the bloody scent to enter their nostrils.
Just as their thoughts were stirring, Chen Jiuyang's icy voice rang out:
"I have been in power for several years, indulging in martial dao cultivation. I can overlook past transgressions, but from now on, if those individuals still harbor any ulterior motives."
"Then do not blame me for not giving fair warning."
"We obey the Sect Master's sacred decree!"
Thousands of people immediately knelt down on both legs, regardless of their identity or cultivation level, and bowed their heads to the ground.
In this way, the True Demon Sect could become Chen Jiuyang's sole domain.
"Next, I will continue the struggle for the Saint Dao."
"In three days, I will head to the Supreme Lineage. At that time, the holy and false war will be at its peak. You must do your utmost to eliminate the forces and destiny of the false Dao."
"Yes!"
Thousands of people responded in unison with respectful voices.
"Disperse."
Chen Jiuyang said.
The thousands of people before him began to rise in an orderly fashion and exit the ancient Sect Master's hall, leaving only Chen Jiuyang seated on the dragon throne on the Danxi.
"Fetch the Heavenly Ranking."
Now that Chen Jiuyang had ascended to the Imperial Dao, he wanted to see the rankings on the Heavenly Ranking.
"Yes."
The captain of the guard, 'Bie Huan,' who stood in the shadows of the Sect Master's hall, emerged. Moments later, he presented the updated Heavenly Ranking to Chen Jiuyang.
First place: Qin Shujian! Affiliated force, Forbidden Land of the Old Village.
Second place: Bai Ri Yue! Affiliated force, Forbidden Land of the Wuming Palace.
Third place: Luo Xingchen! Affiliated force, Forbidden Land of the Burial Emperor Mountain.
Fourth place: Su Shanhai! Affiliated force, Forbidden Land of the Liuxian Clan.
...
The top ten were all powerhouses from the Forbidden Lands.
But Chen Jiuyang discovered.
The ranking of Ancestor 'Ba An' was outside of the three hundredth position.
Ancestor 'Ba An' was a Martial Saint, yet he could only rank in the three hundredth position.
'Chao Lan' of the Liuxian Clan, also a Martial Saint, was also in the three hundredth position.
Chen Jiuyang's gaze flickered. If this were the case, then the top two hundred or more on the Heavenly Ranking were stronger than Martial Saints?
Besides the Forbidden Lands of the Mortal World, the higher-ranked powerhouses came from the supreme forces of the Small Immortal Realm.
Chen Jiuyang's current ranking had reached the seven hundred and eighty-third position on the Heavenly Ranking.
"Heh heh, this Heavenly Ranking is truly interesting."
Those who borrowed the destiny of the Dragon Country's forces in the Mortal World would have their true names and affiliated forces recorded by the Confucian Ancestral Artifact.
However, how this ranking was determined, its principles and rules, were unknown to outsiders.
The rankings of peerless mighty figures below Martial Saint began from the four hundredth position.
"This is not the complete form... Many Ancestors from various forces are still in slumber and have not awakened."
"However, many geniuses from the Small Immortal Realm who have completed the Human King's path have arrived."
Chen Jiuyang saw many familiar names from the Small Immortal Realm on the Heavenly Ranking and the Splendid Ranking.
"However, this list has nothing to do with me for now..."
"The Supreme, Tai Xuan, and Great Dream lineages are currently the challenges I need to address..."
These three lineages were all very tough nuts to crack.
...
Three days passed in the blink of an eye.
The struggle for the Saint Dao, which had been stagnant for years, recommenced.
On this day, Chen Jiuyang, clad in the Nine Dragon Robe, brought only his hundred guards and headed towards the region where the Supreme Demonic Sect was located.
The current war between the righteous and demonic paths was at its peak, and there were not many people in the True Demon Sect who had the time to witness this destined struggle for the Saint Dao.
Only the high-ranking officials of the major forces would pay attention.
The Supreme Demonic Sect did not resemble a sect; it looked more like a fairy mountain villa, built on a mountain range where white clouds drifted. A massive, ancient, and luxurious mountain villa appeared before everyone's eyes.
Chen Jiuyang ascended into the sky and stood outside the Supreme Demonic Sect's mountain villa, loudly proclaiming, "I am Qianyang, and I have come today to fulfill the struggle for the Saint Dao."
"Where are the fellow Daoists of the Supreme Lineage?"
As Chen Jiuyang's voice fell, terrifying auras surged from within the Supreme Demonic Sect, and streaks of immortal light appeared, as if immortals had descended.
