Louguandao plots to provoke Shenxiao Dao Sect, while their envoy visits Beidie Sect. Beidie Sect's leader, Ye Qingyao, is shocked by Li Yunjing's rapid cultivation progress, surpassing even historical prodigies. The elders express concern about his potential and meteoric rise, questioning his past encounters. Ye Qingyao decides to personally visit Shenxiao Dao Sect to assess Li Yunjing, masking her ambition with a generous wedding gift. Despite underlying tensions and historical power shifts, the three major sects maintain a facade of unity due to mutual interests in maintaining the Great Ming Cultivation Realm.

These small sects and clans could only dutifully attend the Shenxiao Dao Sect’s wedding banquet, offering their congratulations with a smile.

This is the only thing they could do.

The Shenxiao Dao Sect holds a supreme position in the Great Ming Cultivation Realm!

When Li Yunjing returned to the Shenxiao Dao Sect and took Yu Yunyi and Lv Ruoxi to reside at Qiuwu Manor, a mole leaked the information from the Great Ming Cultivation Realm to other parts of the Southern Heaven Continent.

The Netherworld Ghost Sect, Mingxin Temple, and many other giant forces became alert to the news.

Now, Li Yunjing’s abilities are known to all factions; he is no longer a mere insignificant figure hiding in the shadows.

It can be said that as soon as he leaves the Great Ming Cultivation Realm, should his whereabouts be discovered in other areas of the Southern Heaven Continent, these giant sects would immediately dispatch Nascent Soul Realm experts to hunt him down everywhere!

In the eerie hall of the Netherworld Ghost Sect in Youyue Country, candlelight flickered, casting ominous shadows on the faces of the people inside.

"Who would have thought, who would have thought, the Shenxiao Dao Sect would produce such a genius and cause such a big stir."

The Sect Leader sat on a pitch-black throne, playing with a skull in his hands, letting out a spine-chilling laugh.

"Sect Leader, this boy must be a significant threat if left unchecked!"

A Supreme Elder stepped forward, a malicious gleam in his eyes, "He has risen rapidly in a short time and has now become the Vice Sect Leader of the Shenxiao Dao Sect. If we let him continue to grow, he might become a formidable enemy to our Netherworld Ghost Sect in the future!"

"Indeed! The Shenxiao Dao Sect has never been on good terms with us, and now with Li Yunjing, their strength is further enhanced."

Another Supreme Elder nodded in agreement, "We must find a way to eliminate him while his foundation is not yet stable!"

"The Shenxiao Dao Sect is profound in its foundation, and a frontal confrontation won’t bring us any benefit."

The Netherworld Master pondered for a moment, then sinisterly said, "But this Li Yunjing’s wedding might cause him to make mistakes in his busyness. We can secretly send people to infiltrate the Shenxiao Dao Sect and look for an opportunity to assassinate him."

"But Sect Leader, on that day, the Shenxiao Dao Sect will be as perilous as a dragon’s lair and tiger’s den. How can we escape after killing Li Yunjing?"

A Supreme Elder raised the question.

"Don’t forget, our Netherworld Ghost Sect specializes in stealth infiltration."

The Netherworld Master smirked grimly, "We can find a few Elders skilled in the Stealth Technique, disguise them to mingle with the guests, and strike amid the wedding chaos. Even if we can’t kill him, we must injure him severely!"

"As for the outside perimeter? I will personally invite a few friends to cause chaos outside the Shenxiao Mountain Range, drawing the attention of Ming Lingchuan and others, to prepare for the opportunity to kill Li Yunjing amidst the chaos!"

"But... doing so, it seems those Elders still won’t have a chance to escape!"

A Supreme Elder felt reluctant and asked this question.

"For great things, one must not be concerned with minor matters!"

The Netherworld Master waved his hand and sneered, "They will die with honor for the sect’s great cause! After their death, their clans will receive double the care; if they have children or disciples, they will be groomed with focus!"

"Understood..."

Others felt a chill, but seeing the fierce demeanor of the Netherworld Master, they dared not voice any objections.

They certainly did not want to provoke the Netherworld Master and be sent to cause chaos outside the Shenxiao Mountain Range!

It seemed that causing chaos outside the Shenxiao Mountain Range was relatively safe, but in reality, it was quite dangerous too. If an old monster from the Shenxiao Dao Sect took notice, one might not be able to retreat to Youyue Country smoothly.

Meanwhile, in the meditation room of Mingxin Temple, several high monks sat together, looking solemn.

"Amitabha! Li Yunjing’s rise has disrupted the original balance of the Southern Heaven Continent."

The presiding monk, Master Faming, pressed his hands together and sighed, "With the Shenxiao Dao Sect backing him, if left unchecked, he might trigger a new catastrophe."

"Brother, how should we respond?"

A young monk inquired.

"The Shenxiao Dao Sect has always been arrogant!"

Master Faming said slowly, "At this moment, we cannot sit and do nothing. We can ally with other forces to suppress the Shenxiao Dao Sect!"

"But those Demon Dao forces opposed to the Shenxiao Dao Sect might not heed our call."

Another White Eyebrow Monk frowned.

The Buddhist Sect has a reputation for being hypocritical.

They claim to be the Righteous Dao, yet they are at odds with the Profound Sect and need to take action against the Demon Dao under the pretense of upholding the Dao and subduing demons, making the Buddhist Sect disliked and nearly friendless.

"Then we must find a suitable reason, forcing them to cooperate with us."

Master Faming’s eyes glinted with wisdom, "Li Yunjing’s rise threatens the stability of the entire Southern Heaven Continent. We can form an alliance to deal with him."

Similar discussions were occurring in the territories of other giant forces.

A monster breaking into the Golden Core Realm at thirty-five years old doesn’t require any further inquiry about Li Yunjing’s other aspects, alone this fact dictates he cannot be allowed to live!

All factions recognized Li Yunjing as a threat and began plotting how to respond.

Some plan to secretly send assassins, others intend to unite with other forces to put pressure on the Shenxiao Dao Sect, and others are waiting for the right moment to reap the benefits as a bystander...

Meanwhile, Li Yunjing was immersed in the joy of his grand wedding, blissfully unaware of the imminent crisis.

At Qiuwu Manor, after a day of rest and having settled Steward Li, Li Yunjing, Yu Yunyi, and Lv Ruoxi went to Rising Sun Peak, meticulously preparing for the wedding, earnestly looking forward to the day’s arrival.
