Chapter 1059 - 1060: Be Sure to Invite Them to Attend
Outside the Flying Heaven Secret Realm lies a desolate island.
Yuan Bo and his son stood upon the reef, gazing at the raging sea.
"I never expected Lingkong Zhenren to fall at the hands of Lin Fei. But this Lin Fei is truly bold; he eliminated Lingkong Zhenren, proclaimed himself the leader, and even renamed the Spiritual Void Sword Sect to the Flying Heaven Sword Sect." Yuan Bo's eyes flashed with a cold light as he spoke coldly.
Yuan Huo said, "Father, Lingkong Zhenren has always been dependent on the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, a loyal subordinate. Now that Lin Fei has removed Lingkong Zhenren, I'm afraid the Profound Celestial Sword Sect won't let Lin Fei go."
"Precisely. We'll spread the news of Lin Fei's usurpation of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect's leadership and the murder of Lingkong Zhenren to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect and other Secret Realm sects associated with the Spiritual Void Sword Sect. This way, Lin Fei won't easily secure his position as the new master of the Spiritual Void Secret Realm," Yuan Bo said with a sinister expression.
Yuan Huo also showed admiration, saying, "Father, that's a great strategy."
Then, Yuan Bo, with his son Yuan Huo, flew away from the desolate island...
Ten days later, above the great ocean, within a vast secret realm, where spiritual qi was gushing forth, stood towering mountains on the islands of the secret realm.
Everywhere were blooming flowers and green trees, the scenery as beautiful as a painting. Bright sunlight poured in from the sky outside the secret realm, casting a radiant glow on the palaces atop the peaks, creating an indescribable spectacle.
Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh.
The air vibrated as two or three groups, totaling around twenty or thirty people, flew through the skies and entered the secret realm's array. They headed towards the center of the island, soaring to the most majestic mountain, where golden glazed tiles sparkled, and the connected palaces were interconnected.
Leading these three groups of flying individuals were three elders, with white hair and beards, solemn expressions, wearing wide robes, exuding an immense aura. As they flew through the sky, they seemed like celestial deities.
On some of the peaks on the island, many legendary experts gazed at the three elders flying overhead, as well as the many legendary experts behind them, with curiosity on their faces, discussing among themselves.
"Aren't these the Sect Leaders of the Celestial Eagle Sword Sect, Kongtong Sword Sect, and Hundred Victory Sword Sect?"
"Why are they all coming together to our Profound Celestial Secret Realm today?"
"By the way, why is the leader of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect not coming along?"
"The three Sect Leaders coming to our Profound Celestial Sword Sect, is there something going on?"
Indeed, this is where the Profound Celestial Sword Sect Secret Realm, ranked second among the thirty-six secret realms, is located.
And the leaders of the three groups flying overhead were the Sect Leaders of the three secret realm sects: the Celestial Eagle Sword Sect, the Kongtong Sword Sect, and the Hundred Victories Sect.
The three Sect Leaders, along with their legendary experts, landed on the central peak of the Profound Celestial Island.
Within the magnificent palace, on a golden dragon-carved throne, sat a mysterious man in brocade robes, wearing a mask with long black hair.
Though the man wore a mask, his gaze was like cold lightning, penetrating the soul, his entire being exuding a suffocatingly powerful presence.
In the grand hall, the Sect Leaders of the Celestial Eagle Sword Sect, Kongtong Sword Sect, and Hundred Victories Sect respectfully addressed the masked man on the throne, "Sect Leader Lu Jing of the Celestial Eagle Sword Sect, Sect Leader Tong Qinhai of the Kongtong Sword Sect, Sect Leader Hundred Thousand Feet of the Hundred Victory Sword Sect, greets the Profound Celestial Sect Leader."
The masked man in the brocade robes on the throne raised his hand and said, "No need for formalities, please sit!"
The three Sect Leaders nodded, "Thank you, Profound Celestial Sect Leader."
Then, the three Sect Leaders took their seats on the three large chairs on the left side of the grand hall.
"Profound Celestial Sect Leader, have you heard about what happened at the Spiritual Void Sword Sect lately?" At this moment, the Sect Leader of the Celestial Eagle Sword Sect, Lu Jing, dressed in a white robe with a silver eagle pattern, spoke to the masked Profound Celestial Sect Leader, looking solemn.
"Hmm, I'm already aware. I never thought someone would dare kill my man; this Lin Fei clearly doesn't take us seriously," the masked man in the brocade robes said, his eyes flickering with sharpness.
"Profound Celestial Sect Leader, I heard this Lin Fei is from Qingxu Sect. Do you think Lingkong Zhenren's death might be the handiwork of the Divine Sword Sect behind the scenes?" The Sect Leader of the Kongtong Sword Sect, Tong Qinhai, stroked his silver beard and asked the Profound Celestial Sect Leader with a shrewd expression.
The Profound Celestial Sect Leader's eyes gleamed with unfathomable light, saying, "No matter how you look at it, Lingkong Zhenren was a master with a strength of at least level three in legend; ordinary people simply couldn't kill him.
This Lin Fei being a secret operative sent by the Divine Sword Sect to Qingxu Sect is not out of the question.
Whether or not the Divine Sword Sect is behind this, I will not let Lin Fei off."
"Please, Profound Celestial Sect Leader, instruct us on what to do," Lu Jing, Tong Qinhai, and Hundred Thousand Feet said in unison, bowing to the Profound Celestial Sect Leader.
The Celestial Eagle Sword Sect, Kongtong Sword Sect, and Hundred Victories Sect are the seventh, eighth, and ninth-ranked sect forces out of the thirty-six secret realm sects.
Just like the Spiritual Void Sword Sect, these three sects are also dependent on the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, belonging to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect faction and acknowledging it as their leader.
The three Sect Leaders came to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect to discuss matters upon hearing the news of Lingkong Zhenren's death.
And the news they received was precisely what Yuan Bo had spread among these sects in recent days.
The Profound Celestial Sect Leader said in a cold voice, "Go to the Spiritual Void Sword Sect, eliminate this person. During this time, I plan to go into seclusion. If there's anything you can't handle, contact the Grand Elder; he will assist you."
"Understood, Profound Celestial Sect Leader," Lu Jing and the other two stood up from their seats and responded, bowing.

Flying Heaven Secret Realm, Feitian Peak.
In the majestic Flying Heaven Hall, Lin Fei stood in the hall, hands behind his back, gazing into the clear sky outside the hall, exuding an imperial aura.
The nine former elders of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect looked at Lin Fei's towering figure with genuine respect on their faces.
Initially, they thought Lin Fei's ascension would bring suppression to the Spiritual Void Sword Sect, even resorting to bloodshed to assert his authority.
However, in reality, aside from killing Lingkong Zhenren and imprisoning Grand Elder Void Sea, after renaming the Spiritual Void Sword Sect, Lin Fei employed no brutal measures.
He was even more generous than Lingkong Zhenren, rewarding the sect's members with elixirs and magical artifacts from the treasure vault.
As a result, the nine elders became wholeheartedly loyal to Lin Fei, finding him more worthy of their allegiance than the oppressive Lingkong Zhenren.
"Sect Leader, it's been almost ten days since the Flying Heaven Sword Sect was renamed. During this time, many secret realm sects must have learned that you are the new master here. Perhaps it's time for a formal inauguration ceremony for you to be recognized by all the secret realm sects," the former Second Elder of the Spiritual Void Sword Sect, Fa Kun, suggested, suddenly seeming to recall something, furrowing his brow with concern. "But won't the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, Celestial Eagle Sword Sect, Kongtong Sword Sect, and Hundred Victories Sect cause trouble if they come?"
In recent days, Lin Fei had learned from the nine elders that the Celestial Eagle Sword Sect, Kongtong Sword Sect, and Hundred Victories Sect, like the Spiritual Void Sword Sect, are loyal to the Profound Celestial Sword Sect.
Lin Fei's expression remained calm, but his eyes showed a fearless glow as he said, "Second Elder, send invitations to the top ten secret realm sects and Qingxu Sect. And make sure to invite the Profound Celestial Sword Sect, Celestial Eagle Sword Sect, Kongtong Sword Sect, and Hundred Victories Sect to attend my inauguration ceremony."
