C767 The Sect Was Destroyed Just Because of a Single Word

Limitless Domain, Qian Trading Company.

Thanks to the breathtaking views of the Limitless Domain, the entire Qian Trading Company was bathed in a vibrant, colorful glow. Woo Zhengyang and Bing Yue emerged hand in hand from this radiant light.

Similar to the Golden Scale Domain, the Limitless Domain is named after its most powerful faction, the Limitless Sect. However, unlike the Golden Scale Domain, the edges of the Limitless Domain are enveloped in an aurora that has a significant impact on the area. This phenomenon makes the surrounding land barren and unsuitable for long stays. As a result, the headquarters of the Limitless Sect, Limitless City, is located elsewhere.

To find someone, heading to Limitless City would be the best option. However, after consulting the map of the Limitless Domain, Woo Zhengyang discovered that the Acacia Sect, where Huo Dongsheng was located, was not far from the Limitless Sect. Moreover, the route to the Limitless Domain conveniently passed by the Acacia Sect.

Given this, Woo Zhengyang decided to visit the Acacia Sect first. Although Huo Dongsheng and others had been captured, the Acacia Sect still posed a potential threat. Woo Zhengyang needed to eliminate this threat to ensure peace of mind for himself and Bing Yue.

A few days later, a man and two women appeared at the entrance of the Acacia Sect. The sight of them left the sect's gatekeepers wide-eyed. They paid no attention to the man, but the two women were strikingly beautiful—one in a seductive red dress, the other in a charming light blue outfit.

"Are you two here for the Acacia Sect's Gathering?" A young guard, practically drooling, ran over with a wide grin, completely ignoring Woo Zhengyang.

"Acacia Gathering?" Hongnu echoed, glancing at Woo Zhengyang with a playful smile.

"Yes, it's our sect's monthly event where the most charming men and women from the Yin and Yang factions come together. Many would give anything to witness it, but access is limited. However, you two needn't worry; I'd be happy to guide you."

"No need, we have someone to show us around," Hongnu replied, revealing a jade pendant in her hand.

As soon as the pendant appeared, it emitted a subtle glow.

"The Yang Pendant... that's the symbol of the Yang Sect's leader..."

Seeing the pendant, the guard was stunned. He felt his own energy being drawn towards the pendant's light, confirming its authenticity without a doubt.

The Acacia Sect is divided into Yin and Yang factions, each with its own symbolic jade pendant. Huo Dongsheng, the Yang Sect leader, originally held the Yang Pendant. After his capture, it ended up with Woo Zhengyang, serving as a key to enter the Yin and Yang factions.

While there are many tokens to enter the sect, the Yin and Yang Pendants are unique. The guard never expected the man and two women before him to possess the Yang Pendant...

This isn't just a simple token. The core technique of the Acacia Sect is derived from the Yin-Yang Jade Pendants, and they can be controlled by these pendants. Because of this, when the Yang Pendant appeared, it triggered his energy flow.

Traditionally, the Yin-Yang Jade Pendants have been managed by the two sect leaders. Now, with the Yang Pendant appearing without a trace of Huo Dongsheng, even the most naive disciples of the Acacia Sect know there's a big problem.

So, before he could finish his stammered words, he turned and ran back to the pavilion on the side of the mountain gate.

Not long after, a brilliant firework shot up into the sky.

Seeing the mountain guard disciple send out a warning signal, Woo Zhengyang and his two companions remained calm. They never intended to enter the mountain gate, especially during the Acacia Sect's grand gathering. Moreover, no matter how flawed the Acacia Sect might be, as a sect with a significant reputation, it surely has considerable means. Rushing in would not be wise; just spreading the news of their arrival was enough.

Shortly after the fireworks bloomed, dozens of figures emerged from the Acacia Sect. Although many were disheveled, they didn't forget to grab their weapons, ready for a potential confrontation.

Leading them was a woman in a pink silk dress. Despite her serious expression, her inherent allure was undeniable. At her waist hung a jade pendant, which resonated from afar with the one in Hongnu's hand, creating a subtle connection.

Acacia Sect's Shadow Leader, Feng Ji!

"Do you have Yang Pei with you? Is Huo Dongsheng dead?" Feng Ji got straight to the point as soon as she appeared.

"What do you think?" Hongnu replied, half-jokingly, without giving a direct answer.

"You must be from the Golden Scale Domain!"

It seemed Feng Ji was aware of Huo Dongsheng's journey to the Golden Scale Domain and immediately identified Woo Zhengyang and his group's origin.

Before Hongnu could respond, Feng Ji continued, "You've got guts, killing Huo Dongsheng and then showing up here. Are you looking for an explanation?"

"That depends on your attitude! Our master said if you swear that the Acacia Sect disciples will never set foot in the Golden Scale Domain again, we won't hold the Huo Dongsheng incident against you."

"Ha, what a bold statement!" Feng Ji sneered at Woo Zhengyang.

As soon as she stepped out, she glanced at the three of them. She couldn't discern the abilities of the two women, suggesting they were on par with her at the king level. However, she could clearly see Woo Zhengyang's level and assumed he was a disciple they brought along for experience. It puzzled her when the woman in red referred to him as their master.

Despite her curiosity, Feng Ji showed no change in expression. Even if the three of them were all at the king level, the Acacia Sect had nothing to fear.

However, in the next moment, Feng Ji's sneer froze on her face.

The aura around the woman in red suddenly surged, reaching a level that made Feng Ji's heart skip a beat.

"A Sovereign..."

Feng Ji was dumbfounded.

The woman in red before her was actually a Sovereign? And she addressed that man as "Sir"?

Was that man really just a practitioner at the Shape Gathering Stage?

"So, how about it? Do we sound bold enough now?" Hongnu fully unleashed her aura and spoke again with a cheerful smile.

This left Feng Ji speechless.

There was no need to worry about the mysterious man's level or to guess the other woman's stage. Just the woman in red alone was someone their Acacia Sect couldn't afford to provoke...

...

Not long after, aboard the Golden Scale Boat.

"Sir, you're too kind-hearted. If it were up to me, we should have just stormed into that Acacia Sect den," Hongnu grumbled a bit, as she had been the one handling the situation with the Acacia Sect, though it was all pre-arranged by Woo Zhengyang.

"Exactly, Zhengyang, aren't you the one who usually doesn't hesitate to wipe out entire sects at the slightest provocation? Why were you so lenient this time?" Bing Yue asked, puzzled.

"What do you mean, wiping out entire sects at the slightest provocation? I'm not that bloodthirsty. I always follow the principle of not attacking unless attacked first," Woo Zhengyang defended himself.

"Don't you care about people? The Acacia Sect is luring them into their den of vice!"

"Luring, not forcing. If everyone were like Huo Dongsheng, I'd certainly intervene. But if they choose to fall for temptation, that's their decision. You can't blame others, and no one needs to save them."

"You think everyone is as strong-willed as you, huh?" Bing Yue scoffed, recalling her first encounter with Woo Zhengyang and giving him a sidelong glance.

"Indeed, he's the most resistant to temptation," Hongnu chimed in with a playful wink and a teasing laugh.

Caught in the middle, Woo Zhengyang felt awkward and quickly retreated to manage the Golden Scale Boat.
