Chapter 1081: 989 establishes awe, cultivates in secret (none today)

Upon hearing this, Qi Yunhong and a curvaceous woman in a blue dress turned pale, just about to explain.

Huang Tianyan and the other five Mahayana cultivators simultaneously activated their treasures, attacking Qi Yunhong.

The incident happened suddenly, leaving Qi Yunhong and the blue-dressed woman no time to evade, and they were chopped into pieces, their bodies transforming into two round beads shimmering with spiritual light.

In a certain area of the island, a blue and a green light appeared, manifesting as the figures of Qi Yunhong and the blue-dressed woman, their expressions terrified.

They realized that Shen Long intended to make an example out of them; they were the chickens to be killed to warn the monkeys.

A blue light flashed, and a shimmering blue net appeared out of thin air above them, enveloping the bodies of Qi Yunhong and the blue-dressed woman.

The blue net emitted a large amount of frigid air, and Qi Yunhong and the blue-dressed woman’s bodies froze at a visible speed, becoming a massive ice sculpture.

The blue net carried the ice sculpture into the reception hall, landing on the ground.

"Senior Shen is wise. I’ve long suspected that they colluded with cultivators from the Qian Family, or else how could Qingfeng Island be so easily conquered by the Qian Family."

Huang Tianyan said.

"Junior Chen Yuxue, awaiting Senior Shen’s command! The Chen Family firmly obeys Senior Shen’s orders."

A curvaceous woman in a white dress spoke.

The Mahayana cultivators all voiced their support, fully backing Shen Long.

"I despise traitors the most, and my attitude towards them is to kill without mercy. The two families brought this upon themselves and deserve to perish. Young Friend Huang and Young Friend Chen, what are your thoughts?"

Shen Long asked.

"I suggest no mercy, letting those traitors know the consequences of betrayal."

Huang Tianyan said.

"Exactly, I agree. Please give the order, Senior Shen!"

Chen Yuxue echoed.

The other Mahayana cultivators also expressed their stance, supporting all of Shen Long’s decisions.

"Good, this matter is in your hands, and everyone else must be involved. Eliminate the Qi and Chen Families, and let whoever wants to betray our Myriad Beasts Sect know their fate."

Shen Long said sternly, his face full of murderous intent.

"Yes, Senior Shen."

Huang Tianyan and the others readily agreed.

"Go and handle this immediately, report back once it’s done. From now on, there is no Qingfeng Island, only Myriad Beasts Island. If anyone is unwilling to serve Myriad Beasts Sect, they can leave, I won’t stop them. But if they secretly betray us while pretending to work for us, extracting their soul and refining their spirit is the lightest punishment."

Shen Long said slowly.

"Whoever dares to betray Senior Shen, I will skin them alive."

Huang Tianyan said with murderous intent.

He saw that Shen Long wanted to establish his power and did not trust those close to the Ning Family. This was the Huang Family’s chance to rise.

Chen Yuxue and the others all declared loyalty, vowing never to betray the Myriad Beasts Sect.

"Alright, no more nonsense, you guys go and complete your mission first!"

Shen Long instructed.

"Yes, Senior Shen."

Huang Tianyan and the others agreed, bowed, and left the Myriad Beasts Island.

"Master, the Qi and Chen Families aren’t weak. It won’t be easy for Young Friend Huang and the others to take them down. Shall I keep an eye on them in secret?"

Shen Mei said.

"No need, if they can’t even handle this simple task, they don’t deserve to be an affiliate of the Myriad Beasts Sect."

Shen Long explained, returning to the Myriad Beasts Garden.

He briefly described the sequence of events, which was both an oath of allegiance and a message to other cultivators that the Myriad Beasts Sect would not align itself with the Liu Family.

Ye Shenglong had already communicated with the Golden Immortals of the Ziyang Sect, requesting their support for the Myriad Beasts Sect. The Ziyang Sect had even sent people to construct a direct transmission array and a first-rank communication immortal array. If Shen Long did not show allegiance, it wouldn’t make sense.

Only with sufficiently strong power could one remain neutral; without it, one must choose sides or face annihilation, with no third option.

"Now I understand why the Qian Family could so easily invade Qingfeng Island. It turns out the Qi and Chen Families were hiding treachery, deserving of annihilation."

Liu Yuhang said solemnly, showing approval.

"Indeed! Destroy them, and let those traitors know the consequences. Otherwise, Qingfeng Island might be breached again."

Lin Heng agreed.

They didn’t care whether the Qi and Chen Families were wronged; if it were them, they would do the same.

"It should be called Myriad Beasts Island now; Qingfeng Island no longer exists."

Chu Buyu corrected.

Lin Heng and the others agreed wholeheartedly, conversing for nearly an hour before they took their leave to rest.

The Myriad Beasts Sect was formally established, with its main headquarters on Myriad Beasts Island.

Huang Tianyan and Chen Yuxue led the campaign, eliminating the Qi and Chen Families under the charges of colluding with the Qian Family.

······

Golden Leaf Island, Golden Leaf Garden.

Qian Sifeng, Qian Yilin, and Qian Yuying sat in a green stone pavilion, sipping tea and chatting idly.

"What? They wiped out the Qi and Chen Families? That was a quick move!"

Qian Sifeng exclaimed in surprise.

"With new authority comes three fires; Shen Long wants to establish power. Since he didn’t choose to engage with us, it means their strength isn’t overwhelming. They pick on the weak like soft persimmons. With no True Immortals currently, the Mahayana cultivators can wipe them out. This way, Shen Long presents an oath to Ye Shenglong, establishes authority, and draws some small forces to his side—killing three birds with one stone."

Qian Yilin praised.

"Indeed, Shen Long is decisive. I hadn’t expected him to assert authority this way, but this also shows that their strength isn’t overwhelming; otherwise, they should’ve targeted us Qian Family instead."

Qian Yuying analyzed.

Qian Sifeng nodded, saying, "We gained a lot from destroying the Ning Family. The Myriad Beasts Sect has just been established, not much to gain; no need to confront them now, as the Ziyang Sect will surely assist the Myriad Beasts Sect. Let’s wait and see."

"Yes, patriarch."

Qian Yilin and Qian Yuying readily agreed.

······

Myriad Beasts Island, Myriad Beasts Peak.

Shen Long, Chu Buyu, and Shen Lange were sitting in a green stone pavilion, discussing something.

"Taoist Friend Liu and Taoist Friend Lin have already left. Let’s focus on cultivation and leave the sect’s affairs in your hands, Shen Lang."

Shen Long said.

Based on their intelligence, the Qian Family had more than ten True Immortal cultivators, including those at True Immortal late stage.

Shen Long and Chu Buyu planned to seclude themselves in the Ninth Layer of the Myriad Beasts Tower, cultivating to quickly reach the True Immortal Middle Stage and enhance their strength.

Now that the Myriad Beasts Sect’s framework was set, with Shen Lang as the Deputy Sect Master, they needed time to develop and allow disciples to feel a sense of belonging.

"No problem, Shen Li has mingled with the new disciples, keeping track of their movements. You can focus on your cultivation! If Qian Sifeng leads an attack on Myriad Beasts Island, I’ll notify you immediately."

Shen Lang assured.

Shen Long nodded, gave a few reminders, and with Chu Buyu, entered a practice room.

They entered the Myriad Beasts Tower and reached the Ninth Layer’s Myriad Beasts Hall, each going into a separate practice room.

Shen Long sat cross-legged on a red cushion, meditating for a quarter hour to adjust his state to its peak.

He took out an exquisite green jade vase, poured out a Peacock Pill, and consumed it.

Soon, a vast energy arose in his abdomen.

He promptly began cultivating, refining this tremendous energy.

Shen Long emitted a clear bird call, a cloud of five-colored radiance enveloping his entire body.
