Saintess Su Yao

I must report this to Her Highness the Saintess! This matter is monumental, there can be absolutely no delay!

Supervising Elder Li Mo suddenly snapped back to reality. The horror on his face was replaced by extreme panic as he stumbled and scrambled out of the hall.

Having managed the Life Tablet Hall for a thousand years, he had seen countless cultivators fall, yet he had never witnessed such a tragic scene in the Holy Land—

Three Mahayana Realm elders, along with hundreds of Dao Comprehension Realm and Spirit Transformation Realm core disciples and deacons, had been completely wiped out in just a brief moment!

Considering that the Sect Master of the Yuxu Sect only had a cultivation base at the Dao Comprehension Realm, three Mahayana Realm elders had been sent to hold the line.

Paired with hundreds of core disciples in the Dao Comprehension and Spirit Transformation Realms, such a lineup was more than enough to not only flatten the Yuxu Sect but even sweep across all the sects in the Donghua Divine Continent!

But now, they were entirely annihilated!

...

The Saintess Hall was a place of carved beams and painted pillars, with spiritual flowers blooming everywhere.

Seated upright on the main seat within the hall was a woman dressed in a crimson brocade robe. Her skin was as white as snow, her features picturesque, and her beauty was unparalleled.

However, her phoenix-like eyes carried an innate sharpness and untamed arrogance. She was surrounded by rich spiritual energy. In her every movement, she exuded both feminine allure and a domineering aura that looked down upon the world—

She was the Saintess of the Wutong Holy Land, Su Yao.

At the mid-stage of the Tribulation Crossing Realm, she was an outstanding figure among all the Holy Sons and Saintesses across the Holy Lands.

At this moment, Su Yao was leaning lazily on a soft couch, listening to a subordinate disciple report matters with an impatient expression. Her phoenix eyes narrowed slightly.

How many times have I said this? Do not bother me with such trivial matters. If you dare to say another word, get out!

The disciple below stiffened in fear, hurriedly bowing and retreating, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Everyone knew that Saintess Su Yao was peerlessly beautiful and possessed profound cultivation, but her temper was terrifyingly explosive. Within the Holy Land, apart from a few Ascension Realm patriarchs, no one dared to easily provoke her.

Your Highness! Your Highness! Disaster! A great disaster!

Li Mo's frantic shouts broke the tranquility of the Saintess Hall. He did not even wait for the disciples outside to announce him, stumbling and rushing straight in!

He fell directly to his knees, his forehead knocking heavily against the floor.

Su Yao's brows furrowed sharply, and rage instantly ignited in her phoenix eyes. The pressure of her Tribulation Crossing Realm erupted, sweeping toward Li Mo.

Li Mo! Are you courting death?! Who gave you the nerve to act so insolently in the Saintess Hall?!

Under the pressure, the blood and qi within Li Mo's body surged, and he spat out a mouthful of blood. Yet, he remained glued to the floor, his voice trembling:

Your Highness! I have an urgent report! The three Mahayana Realm elders who went to the Yuxu Sect, as well as... as well as the hundreds of Dao Comprehension Realm disciples... their... their life tablets have all shattered! They have all fallen!

What did you say?

Su Yao stood up abruptly, the impatience on her face instantly replaced by disbelief. Her stunning features were filled with shock.

Her figure flashed, appearing in front of Li Mo in an instant. She grabbed him by the collar and hoisted him up fiercely, her tone rushed and icy.

Say that again? Whose life tablets shattered?!

It is... it is the three Mahayana Realm elders who went to the Yuxu Sect, and the hundreds of Dao Comprehension Realm disciples...

Li Mo was lifted so high he could hardly breathe, but he still tried his best to speak.

This subordinate personally verified it. The life tablets of everyone in the expedition have all shattered. There is not a single trace of spiritual light left. They... they are all dead!

Impossible!

Su Yao viciously threw Li Mo to the ground. He landed heavily, the sound of his bones fracturing clearly audible, yet he still did not dare to move, only lying there shivering.

The aura around Su Yao was violently turbulent. She paced back and forth.

Have you gone senile in your old age?! Are you blind?!

What the hell is the Yuxu Sect?! A sect that does not even have a Mahayana Realm cultivator! In front of our Wutong Holy Land, they are less than ants!

I sent three Mahayana Realm elders to hold the line, along with hundreds of core disciples in the Dao Comprehension and Spirit Transformation Realms! Let alone flattening the Yuxu Sect, even having them sweep through all the sects in the Donghua Divine Continent would be as easy as lifting a hand!

And now you are telling me they have all fallen?! Dead at the hands of a tiny sect that is worse than an ant?!

Su Yao grew angrier as she spoke. Li Mo! Think very carefully! Did you misread the life tablets?! Did you mistake other disciples' life tablets for those of the expeditionary group?!

I would not dare! I absolutely would not dare!

This subordinate has managed the Life Tablet Hall for a thousand years. The life tablet of every elder and disciple is memorized in my heart!

The life tablets of everyone who went to the Yuxu Sect this time were gathered in the eastern section. This subordinate checked them one by one. Not a single one was mistaken. They are all shattered, without a single fluctuation of life force!

He paused, then added, Your Highness, think about it. The three Mahayana Realm elders could barely hold their own even if they encountered an early-stage Tribulation Crossing Realm expert.

Not to mention they had the assistance of hundreds of Dao Comprehension and Spirit Transformation Realm disciples. How could they be completely wiped out? This subordinate also finds it unbelievable, but... but that is the truth!

Su Yao stopped pacing. The violent aura around her gradually retracted, but the killing intent in her eyes did not diminish in the slightest.

She also knew that Li Mo would not dare to lie, much less joke about matters concerning the life tablets—

Life tablets concerned the life and death of all cultivators in the Holy Land. If there was a mistake, even if Li Mo had ten lives, it would not be enough to pay for it.

Yet she simply could not believe that a behemoth like the Wutong Holy Land would stumble at the hands of a tiny faction like the Yuxu Sect.

It was like an elephant being bitten to death by an ant. It was utterly absurd, ridiculous to the extreme!

No, it definitely was not the Yuxu Sect... Another Holy Land must have intervened. A bone-piercing chill flashed through Su Yao's phoenix eyes.

She did not believe a small sect could do this. One must know that even among the top three sects, there might not necessarily be a single Mahayana Realm cultivator.

Sending out three Mahayana Realm cultivators was originally meant to promote the prestige of the Holy Land. She had never expected them to be completely lost there.

Not only did they fail to make a demonstration of power, but it was also like a slap to her own face!

Preposterous!

With so much core strength lost, and most crucially, the fall of three Mahayana Realm cultivators, even a Holy Land would feel the sting!

Good! Very good! No matter which faction it is, to dare kill so many experts of my Wutong Holy Land and destroy our elites!

She raised her hand. Li Mo, pass down my orders immediately. Summon all elders at the Mahayana Realm and above to the Saintess Hall for a meeting!

Additionally, send disciples in disguise to the Yuxu Sect to investigate the entire sequence of events. Find out exactly who has the audacity to make an enemy of my Wutong Holy Land!

This subordinate obeys! I will go at once! Li Mo felt as if he had been granted amnesty. He hurriedly struggled to his feet and stumbled out of the Saintess Hall.

After Li Mo left, the Saintess Hall fell into silence once again, leaving only Su Yao's icy aura.
