After Duan Meng took care of three people, he personally stayed in the Mu Sect for a period of time and selected three people from the upper echelons of the Mu Sect to be the vice head of the Mu Sect. The three of them had gone through a period of experience and tested with their spiritual force, but they didn't have any rebellious thoughts. Letting the three of them assist the heavens to become the sect head didn't have any risks.

After that, Duan Ru Yue was cleansed from the Mu Sect. Anyone who had any connections to the three rebel vice heads would be executed in secret. Those who didn't have the slightest intention of rebelling would be executed without exception. It could be said that the upper echelons of the Mu Sect were all people with strong willpower.

Duan Meng had lived in the Mu Sect for half a year and had made his decision to kill. Only then did he establish his own authority, and he himself was the supreme head of the Mu Sect.

The other sects in Fire Cloud City expressed their goodwill one after another. Shang Wuji, on the other hand, borrowed the power of Duan Jian to clean up his sect, but he was not loyal to his sect. He had to eliminate those who were not loyal to him, kill those who were not, expel those who were not, and now, the Shang Sect had become the number one sect in Fire Cloud City.

The royal family had sent out their own envoys and sent a large amount of gifts to reward the higher ups of the Mu Sect. The Mu Sect's aura was as high as the clouds. The Mu Sect was currently the number one sect in the Fire Cloud Continent.

Of course, being strong meant having more responsibilities. There were many matters in the Royal Family that required the help of the Mu Sect, such as guarding at the border, security in the country, and protecting every city. The royal family had acted wisely.

Even many of the city lords of the cities were made up of disciples of the Mu Sect. This way, the Mu Sect would become the royal family, and the royal family would become the Mu Sect. Once the royal family had any problems, the Mu Sect would have to go into battle. In fact, the Mu Sect had become a special army that the royal family would not listen to.

When Duan Jian saw this scene, he was first gratified to see the royal clan place so much importance on the Mu Sect, and secondly, he felt admiration, even envy, and a trace of fear towards those from the royal clan. However, since this was the case, it would be very difficult for the royal clan to shake off the Mu Sect. More than 60% of the royal family's officials and generals were from the Wood Sect. They had already become one with each other.

From then on, Duan Meng had more opportunities to be concerned about the Mu Sect. He was no longer as carefree as he was before and was even more closely connected with the weather. Duan Meng imitated his own Pill Sect's formation and became the Embroidered Uniform Guard in the Mu Sect. There were hundreds of thousands of people, and although the Embroidered Uniform Messenger belonged to the Sect Leader, he could still report to him directly. This way, he could closely monitor the entire sect.

However, there were also benefits to joining the sect. Other than being a high official, there was also a large amount of wealth. Even the fees for the management cards were not collected by the imperial family, but rather by the Mu Sect. Those bountiful profits of the outposts were also controlled by the Mu Sect. Although the imperial family collected taxes, the profits were much greater than those of the outposts. The Mu Sect quickly became the nation's most powerful and wealthy sect. Meanwhile, the merchant sect of Fire Cloud City was merely the periphery of the Mu Sect.

Shang Wuji also understood that he was no longer able to break away from the Mu Sect, nor could he break away from Duan Jian. As long as he worked together with the Mu Sect, he would be the only way out for the Shang Sect. Shang Wuji knew very well that if he had the heart to do so, Duan Ru Yue would instantly destroy his Shang Zong.

As the saying goes, serenity is vivid, and happiness brings sorrow. It was not fake at all. Duan Ru Yue had the two great sects in his control, so he was already fine. He could spend his days cultivating, cultivating, training his mind, drinking wine, and drinking tea in his own manor, waiting for the appearance of the world of fire to appear so that he could seize the third page of the Heaven Refining Diagram.

Recently, there had been some unsettling news spread around Fire Cloud City. Many schools, and many citizens were complaining to the officials that they encountered unknown species that were crazily devouring humans, causing the people of Fire Cloud City to not dare to go out at night.

At the beginning, Duan Ru Yue didn't pay much attention as she thought that some small sects were annexing each other and spreading rumors. But as the rumors spread deeper and deeper, many of the citizens started to talk about the changes in their expressions, so Duan Meng had no choice but to pay attention.

Duan Meng had the Mu Sect leave the Embroidered Uniform Guard and place hidden stakes around Fire Cloud City to monitor everything. They then discovered that there were indeed some unknown species that were crazily devouring humans, and even many of the Embroidered Uniform Guards of the Devil Sect had been lost. The strength of that monster was so great that it was shocking.

The Earth Sect had repeatedly sent people to fight him, but they never gained the upper hand. Especially the most recent time, when Duan Hu was pierced into a hornet's nest by Duan Hu's flying sword in the arena, the Earth Sect wouldn't give up and would once again send troops to mess things up.

The easiest way to do that was to harass the common people and break his concentration. Once he took the bait, he would be seriously injured. This was what Duan Ru Yue was thinking.

However, the news that came back wasn't like this. If the Earth Sect was going to deal with him, it was very likely that they would only deal with the Mu or Shang Zong. However, all of Fire Cloud City's sects had been attacked. Duan Meng was puzzled. No matter how strong the Earth Sect was, they wouldn't dare to make an enemy out of all the sects under the heavens.

What was going on?

Duan Meng decided to go in person.

Duan Ren chose an entire night, quietly guarding outside the city, and sure enough, they met.

Batches of monsters descended from the sky. They opened their ferocious mouths and ate every single one they saw. They came and left without a trace, appearing and disappearing without a trace. He didn't even know what sort of divine object Duan Ru Yue was. He was actually on equal footing with a few monsters, and this caused Duan to be greatly alarmed. Although his own cultivation was not high, his combat prowess was one of the best in Fire Cloud City. If he couldn't even win, then the citizens of Fire Cloud City wouldn't be able to protect themselves.

The next day, Duan Ru hurriedly found the art of the Eye of Qi and asked them what was going on. For some reason, he had walked out of the wolf world and occupied a valley, becoming the true Heavenly Wolf Valley. However, because there were too many wolves and too few people, the Heavenly Wolf started attacking humans. Because they were close to Fire Cloud City, Fire Cloud City became the first place to be affected.

The power of this Heavenly Wolf was incomparably great. Even if it was a young wolf, it would still have the power of an Aurous Core stage cultivator. Duan Meng was curious. He had his spiritual force, so why wasn't the Heavenly Wolf under his control? The art of the Eye of Qi told Duan Ren that the Heavenly Wolf had no consciousness, no soul, only a Heavenly Wolf Soul Crystal, which was a wolf crystal. It was similar to the effects of the soul; the control of a human soul was completely ineffective.

Did he have to use the Golden Horned Devouring Beast? That way, his secret would be completely exposed, and once the Earth Sect found out, they would hunt him down and he would be in danger. Unless it was absolutely necessary, his Golden Horned Devouring Beast couldn't be exposed no matter what.

Although the ability of the Heavenly Wolf was high, it was not good at moving around during the day. It was a species that was afraid of light, and as long as a person had a certain type of glowing object, they could restrain the Heavenly Wolf.

Duan Meng was overjoyed. He hurriedly asked the skilled craftsmen from Fire Cloud City to start making the glowing objects. If he could get everyone to come, he would be able to escape the Heavenly Wolf's hunt.

For a moment, Fire Cloud City's light source became gunner and the price rose. When he met them, he would allocate a large amount of money to create a large amount of glowing objects that he would distribute to the citizens of Fire Cloud City free of charge. Moreover, Duan Meng thought of a method. He installed a large glowing object on top of Fire Cloud City's city walls, lighting up Fire Cloud City as if it was day. It was indeed effective, and after that, Skywolf never entered Fire Cloud City again. However, an even greater disaster had befallen them. The villages outside the Fire Cloud City had become targets for the Heavenly Wolves to kill and devour.
