Chapter 22: Enlightenment Tea was Wronged; News Spread!

After a moment, Chen Daoxuan, who was now sitting in the small pavilion and tasting the Enlightenment Tea, raised his hand to wipe away the nosebleed once again.

"Ah, this Enlightenment Tea is indeed a potent tonic. Just a few sips and I've got nosebleeds again…"

With a flick of his mind, he cleaned up the bloodstain and couldn't help muttering, unsure if he was trying to deceive himself.

Meanwhile, beside the small pavilion, the Enlightenment Tea trembled slightly, as if shaking its head to indicate that it had nothing to do with causing nosebleeds. How could such a divine item as the Enlightenment Tea cause that?

Feeling the movements of the Enlightenment Tea, Chen Daoxuan glanced over, and the tea immediately stopped swaying, seemingly like a child who had done something wrong and appeared somewhat wronged. But at least it had finally quieted down.

…

Meanwhile, the capital of the Moro Kingdom was far from calm. In the Leng family Mansion, Leng Zhan naturally received Leng Yanran's transmission.

"Spread the message: Half a month from now, anyone who has not withdrawn from the Luo Heaven Sect shall be put to death without mercy, and the Luo Heaven Sect will face annihilation!" Leng Yanran's message read.

Leng Zhan's first reaction upon receiving this message was, "Could Leng Yanran have gone mad?"

In the hearts of people like them, the Luo Heaven Sect was an enormous entity, a colossus that even the Emperor of Moro Kingdom had to bow to.

Not to mention that the Luo Heaven Sect's venerable, Luo Wuzhen, was a terrifying expert in the Annihilation Realm, and they had at least ten elders in the Returning Void Realm, all possessing such power that they could annihilate the Moro Kingdom in a single night.

Who in the Northern Domain would dare to utter such arrogant words about destroying the Luo Heaven Sect's entire lineage? Even the other three top-tier sects would find it impossible without joining forces.

Hence, Leng Zhan promptly gathered several Transcendence Realm elders from the Leng family to discuss the matter in the main hall.

"What are your thoughts, everyone?"

Leng Zhan scanned the room, noticing that everyone still bore the wounds from the battle of the previous day, and he couldn't help but sigh inwardly.

"Family Head, we can't underestimate this matter; it could very well provoke the wrath of the Luo Heaven Sect!" One of the elderly men spoke up first.

Hearing this, the others nodded in agreement.

"Furthermore, even with some fortuitous encounters, it's unlikely that Leng Yanran could destroy the Luo Heaven Sect. It might be best to forget about this matter..." The elder, having gained the support of the others, continued.

In the end, most people present shared his concerns, fearing the wrath of the Luo Heaven Sect.

"Heh, do you really think that after the battle of the previous day, the Luo Heaven Sect will spare my Leng family?" Leng Zhan's voice turned cold.

"Their Chief Disciple was killed by Leng Yanran's sword, and two Returning Void Realm elders fell as well. All of this has been witnessed by numerous aristocratic families in the capital. There's no way to hide this information.

"Even if our Leng family refrains from spreading this message, do you think the Luo Heaven Sect won't direct their anger at us? Do you believe that they haven't sent people to investigate the capital already?" he questioned.

"In my opinion, we should follow Yanran's suggestion and spread the news," said Leng Zhan.

However, after hearing the responses from everyone, he couldn't help but shake his head and let out a bitter laugh, his gaze filled with mockery.

The losses suffered by the Luo Heaven Sect were so immense that they couldn't be easily overlooked. When their people arrived in the capital of Moro Nation, there would be no need for extensive investigations.

Asking a random person would reveal the details of the battle that took place a few days ago. How could the Leng Family escape punishment?

Given the circumstances, it might be best to follow Yanran's advice and disseminate the information. Perhaps it could buy the Leng Family some time. If Yanran managed to create a miracle in half a month, the crisis might naturally dissipate. But if she failed, the Leng Family would probably be done for.

Everyone fell into a stunned silence upon hearing Leng Zhan's words, realizing that his statement was nothing but the truth, leaving no room for disagreement.

"Since that's the case, let's get moving," Leng Zhan urged. "This information might just give our Leng Family a chance to survive."

Seeing the situation, Leng Zhan decided not to say more. He sighed and left after instructing everyone to take action.

"I wonder if Yanran's mysterious master will lend a hand. If that person intervenes, the destruction of Luo Heaven Sect might not be impossible."

Once outside the hall, Leng Zhan couldn't help but recall the attack that occurred during Yanran's demonstration with the jade pendant. The towering and imposing Sky Monument transformed the powerful experts of the Ninth Heaven of the Returning Void Realm from Luo Heaven Sect into dust in an instant.

If that person were to intervene, the outcome was truly unpredictable.

"Yanran probably has already planned for this," Leng Zhan thought, abandoning further contemplation. After all, even if he racked his brains, this matter was beyond his capabilities.

Without further hesitation, the Leng Family spread the news through their various industries within the capital. In less than a day, the entire city knew about the impending destruction of Luo Heaven Sect in half a month, with even common people discussing it during their tea breaks.

In the magnificent imperial palace of Moro Nation, the Emperor listened to the reports from his subordinates and paused in surprise.

"You're saying this news originated from the Leng Family?"

"Your Majesty, although the news did not originate directly from the Leng Family, its source can be traced back to some of their shops within the city," reported the messenger.

"Oh? Interesting. So, Luo Heaven Sect will be annihilated in half a month, is it?"

The Emperor's eyes gleamed with a glimmer of anticipation. Over the years, Luo Heaven Sect had oppressed Moro Nation time and time again, demanding substantial resources as a form of protection fee, to put it bluntly.

Not long ago, the chief of Luo Heaven Sect had come to the capital, acting arrogantly and uncontrollably. Even His Majesty, the Emperor of Moro Nation, had no choice but to smile and tolerate the elder from Luo Heaven Sect within the imperial palace, utterly unable to intervene in any of his actions.

"Leng Yanran, I hope you won't disappoint me," the Emperor mused.

The memory of the three-thousand-zhang Sky Monument appearing in the sky filled him with a profound sense of fear and dread.

With Leng Yanran's profound realm strength, it was absurd to think she could annihilate Luo Heaven Sect on her own. However, since she dared to send this message, she must have the backing of that terrifying entity behind her!

If Luo Heaven Sect were truly to be destroyed, it would be a significant boon for him, the Emperor of Moro Nation!

While he indulged in his fantasies about the future, a figure rushed hastily before him, dropping to their knees.

"What's the matter?" The Emperor raised an eyebrow, asking the newcomer.

"Your Majesty, the Second Elder of Luo Heaven Sect has arrived outside the palace gates!"
