When Yun Xiao's single sword struck down five heads, the Million Starlight Palace was already in a state of shock, as the elders, related to the deceased, felt as though 10,000 swords had pierced their hearts.

That sword felt as though it had sliced right through their necks, sending a chilling coldness spreading throughout.

"No!"

In the section for sects like the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, Heavenly Devil Divine Altar, Grieving Spirit Valley, and Thunderflame God Star, the elders shot up from their seats with tears of blood dripping from their eyes.

Yet, their hearts bled even more!

The Dragon Devil Clan had suffered an especially heavy blow. They had come in full force for the Supreme Yin Cauldron, arrogantly throwing around their weight. Now, they had witnessed all five of their Young Dragon Lords slain or crippled, and their new generation completely wiped out…

The aged faces of the Dragon Devil Clan elders looked like they'd been smeared with layers of thick cow dung, dark and foul. They even growled, bit their tongues, screamed ferociously, clenched their fists, and vomited blood in anger.

All the scorn and insults they had for the Supreme Yin Cauldron were like daggers to their hearts!

How could they bear such humiliation!

The Southern Divine Dragon Realm, Grieving Spirit Valley, Heavenly Devil Divine Altar, and Thunderflame God Star, along with some from the Elysian Immortal Palace and even the Ancestral Land and Nine Yin Soul Sea, all turned their frosty, somber glares towards a single person—the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen!

Originally, she was merely a target of the Southern Divine Dragon Realm.

Now, the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen had drawn the ire of six Heavenly Deity Alliance sects, the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, dozens of Empyrean Emperor sects and over 100 Heavenly Monarch sects... this was nearly the wrath of most of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River!

To be honest, she herself was baffled. How could she have anticipated Yun Xiao to be so ruthless?

Up until now, every action Yun Xiao had taken, starting from the

purification

of Yang Yang, was beyond the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen’s predictions, bordering on the unimaginable.

If it were anyone else facing such terrifying pressure, they would have been gasping for air long ago. But the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen remained calm.

The Three Divas hadn't bothered stepping in, showing their clear approval of Yun Xiao's actions. Although the fallout would be a headache, she could only continue to support Yun Xiao.

"Without Yun Xiao, we would have definitely been knocked out of the top ten! But now, not only has he secured our spot in the top ten but also crippled the future of too many celestial sects."

This outcome meant at least a strong future for the Harmony Divine Palace!

So, under the pressure of tens of thousands of wrathful eyes, the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen sat upright with a calm face. She closed her eyes and let the curses and threats flow through her as if she heard none of it.

She was actually thrilled deep down.

From taking captives, tormenting the Young Dragon Lords to conquering the Young Dragon Consorts and annihilating dragon minions, Yun Xiao’s actions were sure to be recorded in history!

"But really, was it necessary to confront hundreds of celestial sects just because Feng Yao was a little hurt?"

The Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen didn't quite understand. She only knew that if such brutal acts were not stopped by the Three Divas, it certainly wasn't her place to question.

At the very least, it was indeed exhilarating!

Was there truly anyone innocent? Of course not! Had anyone other than Yun Xiao prevailed, every one of these Heavenly Deity Alliance sects would have shown no mercy to the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm.

"Now that they follow the Southern Divine Dragon Realm to invade the Extreme Yin Star, later their elders will join the Southern Divine Dragon Realm in dividing up the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm! The Extreme Yin Star lacks resources, but our Extreme Yin Celestial Realm is a grand sect of the Heavenly Deity Alliance, enough to drive these lesser sects mad..."

At that moment, the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen suddenly understood the true reason behind Yun Xiao’s ruthlessness!

"When everyone sees you as a piece of fat meat, you'd better smash the mouths of those who harbor such thoughts, make them afraid, then you might have a chance to survive!

"If you show fear, these greedy bottom feeders will only become more frenzied!"

The Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen's analysis wasn't wrong.

When Yun Xiao began slaughtering the Alliance Army, at least 500 elders stood up, following the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, casting venomous glances at the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen.

"No matter what you do, tell your little pet that if he continues like this, he will incite all the righteous forces of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River to unite and destroy your Extreme Yin Celestial Realm!"

"Don't play with fire!"

"There's still time to regret."

"Young people being blinded by their emotions is understandable. But as a senior, you can't let him run wild! If you don't stop him, you are endorsing his actions, fueling his arrogance, and dooming the Harmony Divine Palace!"

"The Extreme Yin Celestial Realm, known as a man's purgatory, has nurtured a mad beast; keeping a façade of chastity while promoting debauchery, that’s laughable! This boy must be a secret delight your Three Divas keep for amusement!"

"Laughable! I thought you were truly pure, but you’re just a bunch of hypocritical nuns."

After cursing Yun Xiao, they started mocking the Three Divas, naturally including the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen too.

"Since even the Three Divas are breaking the rules, stop pretending to be holy! The Extreme Yin Celestial Realm needs men? We at the Thunderflame God Star have plenty!"

"I warn you, if you remain deluded, you are seeking your own destruction! All women of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm will pay with their lives for this boy's brutality!"

"Immediately! Right now! Make him stop while he can!"

As Yun Xiao wreaked havoc, those who saw their sect's prodigies in peril stood up one after another, exerting pressure on the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen with even colder expressions.

Meanwhile, the faces of the Golden Dragon Emperor, Gong Tianjian, Empyrean Emperor Mu, Great Dream Lord, along with others from the Heavenly Devil Divine Altar, Grieving Spirit Valley, and Thunderflame God Star, had long turned grim.

Amidst this cacophony of curses, the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen fixed her gaze on the screen. Finally, she shook her head and said, "Apologies, everyone. The Grand Assembly Arena is sealed, and I truly have no way to send a message."

"You cannot send a message, but those Three Divas are inside! So, are you saying that this massacre of our geniuses is per your Harmony Divine Palace's instructions?" Gong Tianjian suddenly stood up, her voice cold and harsh.

"Why the rush, Chief Gong? Your disciple Zhao Canglan isn't dead, and your Elysian Immortal Palace geniuses have all offered their Personal Pledges earlier, suffering no great losses," the Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen responded coolly.

Her words nearly made Gong Tianjian spit blood. Though not dead, Zhao Canglan was left without a lower body. He was practically crippled.

The Ice Cloud Valkyrie Queen pursed her lips, "Moreover, the fundamental rule of the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects is that it's a contest for the new generation, with elders forbidden from interfering.

"We should let the young ones perform freely! Non-interference is a fact for all celestial sects. Whatever happens is due to the disciples' own decisions; we cannot assume guilt just because the Three Divas are present.

"The Grand Assembly isn’t solely for the Heavenly Deity Stellar River but also witnessed by friends from other Stellar Rivers. I believe, as the hosts, we should adhere to these basic rules... instead of resorting to the threats due to the strife of the young."

Her words swept through like a chilling storm, causing thousands of Heavenly Monarchs around to grit their teeth and glower with even more resentment.

"Good!"

"Very good!"

"Face the consequences yourself!"

"I from the Octave Sword Sect never wanted to get involved, but you've forced my hand!"

"We feel the same!"

Suddenly, many sects took a firm stand, lining up behind the Southern Divine Dragon Realm, clearly ready to offer strong support.

In reality, they had already been standing behind the Southern Divine Dragon Realm; they just hadn't announced it loudly.

Out of the over 500 Heavenly Monarch sects of the Heavenly Deity Stellar River, at least 300 made their stance clear, intent on claiming their share of the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm after the Grand Assembly of Myriad Sects.

"This Extreme Yin Celestial Realm never reflects on why it has no friends!"

"Is it because they're aloof? Or don’t fit the identity of the Heavenly Deity Alliance? Neither!"

"The matter of celestial slaves isn't a big deal; which major sect doesn’t have slaves?"

"To put it bluntly, the Extreme Yin Celestial Realm is just despicable! Their inherent inferior nature is clear as day!"

"These haughty women, who consider themselves so superior, should have stepped aside for the Southern Divine Dragon Realm long ago, but unfortunately, this time..."
