Invincible Divine Sword Chapter 2007: Leaving the Three Pure Sacred Sect?

"Whose task are we carrying out? This subordinate does not know. As for when they will return, it might be several years," the guardian of the Treasure Vault hesitated.

Several years?

It could also be hundreds of years, or thousands.

After all, anything could have unexpected events.

"Contact them and tell them to return now! Say it is my order! I give them one day. If I don’t see them within one day, they need never return!" Yang Xiaotian said coldly.

He couldn’t be bothered with Lin Yi’s little tricks.

However, this made him more certain that the things Lin Yi embezzled from the Three Pure Saint Sect’s Treasure Vault over the years were truly astonishing, otherwise, he wouldn’t even dare to open the vault.

Feeling the murderous intent from Yang Xiaotian, the guardian of the Treasure Vault dared not delay and quickly used the Message Talisman to contact the "fled" Li Fei and the others.

However, after sending three Message Talismans in succession, there was still no reply from Li Fei and the others.

Seeing Li Fei and the others "playing dead" without responding to the talismans, Yang Xiaotian immediately summoned Old Lu: "Blockade the Three Pure Saint Sect and surrounding Empire territories, place a bounty on Li Fei and the others, offering ten billion per capture."

Offering ten billion per capture!

The Treasure Vault guardian and the arriving Elder both shivered inwardly.

Is this declaring Li Fei and the others as traitorous fugitives?

"If Li Fei and the others dare resist and harm the disciples of the Three Pure Saint Sect, they can be executed on the spot!" Yang Xiaotian continued.

Executed on the spot!

The Treasure Vault guardian and the Elder gasped deeply.

Old Lu respectfully acknowledged and left to carry out the order.

Soon, Yang Xiaotian’s bounty order was disseminated layer by layer, shaking the Three Pure Saint Sect and the surrounding Empires.

Immediately, armies were mobilized across the Three Pure Saint Sect and the neighboring Empires.

After all, ten billion was no small amount.

Yang Xiaotian stared at the Treasure Vault guardian and the arriving Elder, both of whom dared not breathe heavily, knowing that Yang Xiaotian had just assumed the position of Sect Hierarch, and this was to set an example!

As for whom the example was for, everyone understood.

"Where is the key?" Yang Xiaotian extended his hand, asking the Elder.

The Elder’s face turned red, muttering, "The key is in the Cave Mansion, I forgot to bring it."

Forgot to bring it?

Yang Xiaotian coldly noted that the Elder hadn’t forgotten; rather, he simply didn’t have the key. The key wasn’t on him, but with Lin Yi.

"I’ll give you one hour to return and retrieve the key. If you fail to bring the key, you will be imprisoned in the dark cell, and only once your disciples find the key will you be released," Yang Xiaotian said sternly.

The Elder almost went weak at the knees. The dark cell of the Three Pure Saint Sect was pitch-black and terrifyingly cold; even being confined for a few years there would be a fate worse than death.

He scrambled to comply and fled swiftly.

After leaving, he did not flee back to the Cave Mansion but rather to Lin Yi’s Cave Mansion.

As Yang Xiaotian suspected, the key was indeed not with the Elder but in Lin Yi’s hands.

At that moment, within Lin Yi’s palace, Li Zhi was reporting about Li Fei and others to Lin Yi.

"Master, Li Fei and the others have already left the territory of the Three Pure Saint Sect. Rest assured, even if Yang Xiaotian discovers that Li Fei and the others have left, it will be difficult for him to catch up to them," Li Zhi reported.

Lin Yi nodded, pondering, "The day after tomorrow, we will have a batch of medicinal materials transported from the Cloud Heaven Empire. Arrange for people to intercept it and disguise it as if it was done by Myriad Demon City."

Li Zhi’s eyes lit up, understanding his master’s intent.

Currently, Yang Xiaotian is the City Lord of Myriad Demon City. If the Myriad Demon City people intercept the Three Pure Saint Sect’s medicinal materials, how will Yang Xiaotian address it? If he fails to retrieve the materials and surrender the Myriad Demon City people, it’s sure to provoke the disciples’ anger in the Three Pure Saint Sect.

This could even lead to a conflict between the Three Pure Saint Sect and Myriad Demon City.

By then, secretly eliminating a few experts from Myriad Demon City and masquerading it as an action by the Three Pure Saint Sect could provoke a greater conflict between the Two factions.

Even if Yang Xiaotian wants to stabilize his position as Sect Hierarch, it would be difficult.

"Master is truly wise," Li Zhi said with a respectful smile. "I will immediately arrange for the interception of that batch of medicinal materials."

"Once the medicinal materials are intercepted, kill all involved," Lin Yi added.

That way, even if Yang Xiaotian wants to investigate afterward, he won’t find anything.

Li Zhi respectfully assented and went to make arrangements.

The Medicine Hall in the Three Pure Saint Sect was under Lin Yi’s control, so he and Li Zhi were fully aware of the transport route of the medicinal materials. Thus, intercepting those materials would be an easy task for them.

However, it wasn’t long before Lin Yi saw the furious Elder rush in, demanding the Treasure Vault key.

After some consideration, Lin Yi returned the key to the Elder, believing that even if Yang Xiaotian obtained the key, it would be useless as he couldn’t open the Treasure Vault.

Watching the departing Elder, Lin Yi sneered. He knew exactly what Yang Xiaotian intended to do in his eagerness to open the Treasure Vault, merely to use its resources for cultivation and to charge him with crimes. However, wanting to use the Treasure Vault resources required actually opening it.

Only when all five keys of the Three Pure Saint Sect’s Treasure Vault are gathered can it be opened. Forced entry would result in the automatic destruction of all contents.

Yang Xiaotian, the day after tomorrow, I will first give you a surprising gift. In the future, these surprise packages will keep coming.

While Lin Yi was waiting for the day after tomorrow to intercept the medicinal materials and deliver the first surprise gift to Yang Xiaotian, that evening, his disciple Li Zhi rushed in, panic-stricken, reporting that Li Fei and the others had been captured and were being brought back to the Three Pure Saint Sect.

"What? Hadn’t Li Fei and the others already left the Three Pure Saint Sect’s territory? How were they captured?" Lin Yi exclaimed, rising up, filled with anger.

Li Zhi was equally perplexed, but at this point, there was no time to investigate. If Li Fei and the others were brought back, it would certainly expose the matter of the Treasure Vault.

Over the years, Lin Yi and his apprentice had used a vast amount of resources from the Treasure Vault for cultivation, a clear violation of Sect rules that guaranteed their execution.

"Arrange for men to kill Li Fei and the others on the way back," Lin Yi instructed darkly. "No matter how many lives are lost, Li Fei and the others must be eliminated."

He was well aware of the severe consequences if Li Fei and the others were brought back.

But the next day, before dawn, Li Zhi stumbled in again, panic-stricken, and reported that not only were Li Fei and the others alive, they had been brought back and were currently being interrogated by Yang Xiaotian in his palace.

Hearing this, Lin Yi’s face changed drastically, his expression fluctuating, finally settling into a grave tone, "Prepare, we are leaving the Three Pure Saint Sect."

He decided to head to Yin Ghost Mountain first, leveraging its power, and then leave the Ancestor Continent. Once off the continent, they would be safe.

As for everything concerning the Three Pure Saint Sect, he was unwilling but knew he must temporarily relinquish it.

When the time was right, he would return to reclaim everything that was his!
