"Gu Zhengzhen, take everyone and exterminate Sun Yan's entire faction. Do it swiftly!"    

Lin Xuan commanded with an icy demeanor.    

Having chosen to resist, there would be consequences.    

Without showing ruthlessness, others might perceive him as mild-mannered and vulnerable.    

In this harsh world, the overly kind seldom survive.    

This time, it wasn't just about subduing the East Saint Sect, but also about setting an example—killing one to warn the others.    

With the East Saint Sect as a precedent, anyone else contemplating resistance should be ready to face severe repercussions.    

It was crucial to avoid the time-consuming and energy-draining back-and-forth of this ordeal.    

He couldn't afford to squander his time.    

He needed to seize every moment and resource to bolster his strength as much as possible.    

This was in preparation for the impending disaster.    

As for the other warriors from Sun Yan's faction within the East Saint Sect, their involvement might be significant.    

But what of it?    

As members of Sun Yan's faction and controllers of the sect, they had enjoyed their share of privileges.    

Being implicated was only to be expected.    

Merely punishing the ringleader would leave others hoping for a stroke of luck.    

This could lead to emulation by other powers in the future.    

While it might not harm him directly,    

it would certainly bring unnecessary complications and drain his energy.    

Better to address the issue decisively and for all, serving as a deterrent to prevent any future occurrences of a similar nature.    

"Yes, Senior!"    

Upon hearing this, Wei Zhengzhen's body jolted, and he promptly responded with a resounding voice.    

Despite facing his own sect members, Wei Zhengzhen showed no hesitation.    

This was the opportunity Lin Xuan had granted him—an opportunity to survive.    

And, it was a chance to take control of the East Saint Sect.    

As one of the few at the pinnacle of Emperor Level within the sect, he wasn't part of Sect Master Sun Yan's faction. He had climbed the ranks through relentless combat and seizing every chance for advancement.    

Consequently, within the East Saint Sect, he found himself oppressed by Sun Yan's faction, and even the authority he wielded ranked among the lowest of the pinnacle Emperor Level experts.    

This is precisely why he was chosen to lead the team against the Devil Cloud Sect.    

The formidable reputation of the Devil Cloud Sect was well-known to all.    

During the Demon Aura encirclement, several pinnacle Emperor Level experts met their end, including one from the East Saint Sect.    

At that time, Lin Xuan's strength remained a mystery.    

Even with Lin Xuan's formidable power, akin to adding a ferocious tiger to their ranks, the peril of confronting the Devil Cloud Sect, with Lin Xuan and two other formidable beings, was evident.    

The risk of death was real.    

Should he fall in battle, Sun Yan's faction would scarcely be affected.    

Wei Zhengzhen and Sun Yan's faction harbored significant animosity towards each other.    

Now, an opportunity had presented itself.    

Even the sect's protective grand array, Sun Yan's faction's strongest defense, was shattered by Lin Xuan with a single punch.    

Wei Zhengzhen would not hesitate for a moment.    

Not to mention, there was the prospect of taking control of the entire East Saint Sect.    

Eliminating the Sect Master's faction might slightly diminish the sect's strength.    

Yet, if he could take the reins of the East Saint Sect, the power at his disposal would be far greater than before.    

Furthermore, the idea of submitting to Lin Xuan was not something Wei Zhengzhen would even consider.    

Lin Xuan was undeniably powerful, terrifyingly so; he had single-handedly breached the protective formations of both the East Saint Sect and the Devil Cloud Sect with a punch and a sword, respectively.    

Facing him, even a peak Emperor Level Martial Cultivator could be effortlessly dispatched as if they were mere ants.    

Nevertheless, Lin Xuan was still just one man.    

He would still need to rely on his subordinates to lead the sect's Martial Cultivators.    

At most, the sect would become a branch of the Tianyuan Palace.    

Moreover, there would be a Grand Emperor above them.    

When weighed against the tangible benefits he could secure, such concerns seemed trivial.    

Thus, the decision he had to make was clear.    

Behind Wei Zhengzhen, the majority of the Emperor Level Martial Cultivators of the East Saint Sect were aligned with his faction.    

There were a few from other factions, not from Sect Master Sun Yan's own lineage.    

After all, Sun Yan believed this mission to be fraught with extreme danger, likely leading to total annihilation without return.    

He couldn't afford to send his faction's high-ranking members to face such losses in vain.    

At this pivotal moment, whether willing or not,    

everyone had to steel themselves and follow Wei Zhengzhen to confront their former fellow sect members.    

Otherwise, without Lin Xuan lifting a finger,    

Wei Zhengzhen would be forced to eliminate them.    

Despite appearing weak as an ant before Lin Xuan, Wei Zhengzhen was still a peak Emperor Level Martial Cultivator and a formidable opponent among his peers.    

Across the entire Dongyuan Continent, he was recognized as one of the absolute strongest.    

For him, dispatching Emperor Level late-period martial artists like them would be a matter of a few swift moves.    

The other Emperor Level Martial Cultivators remained silent, trailing behind.    

The leaders of both the Thunder Yang Pavilion and the Purple Cauldron Sect displayed subtle shifts in their expressions, their eyes betraying fear as they contemplated their next moves.    

What Lin Xuan had demonstrated was not only for Wei Zhengzhen's benefit but also a clear message to all present.    

Was he prompting them to make an early decision?    

They inwardly sighed.    

At this juncture, they had no choice left.    

Without delay,    

Wei Zhengzhen charged ahead, acknowledging the call and leading the way.    

Transforming into a streak of light, he sped towards his former sect and Sect Master Sun Yan.    

Elemental Spirit, Cang Shuiyue, and the others didn't just stand by.    

They followed suit.    

Having pledged their allegiance to Lin Xuan, it was time for them to prove their worth.    

Even though Lin Xuan had effortlessly shattered the protective barrier of the East Saint Sect without resorting to martial arts or profound techniques,    

disposing of Sun Yan and the sect's other high-ranking members would be just as easy.    

But if he were to handle everything personally,    

what use would his subordinates be?    

If they failed to demonstrate their value, Lin Xuan might well consider disposing of them just as easily.    

Upon witnessing the unfolding events, the senior members of the Thunder Yang Pavilion and the Purple Cauldron Sect knew better than to slack off. They promptly followed suit.    

With the East Saint Sect's protective barrier gone, the once formidable group now seemed as threatening as a defanged tiger—utterly powerless. The group of Emperor Level Martial Cultivators might have numbered less than a hundred, but they struck terror into the heart of the entire East Saint Sect. Each one was a renowned powerhouse on the Dongyuan Continent.    

The demise of the East Saint Sect seemed inevitable, just a question of when. Yet, Wei Zhengzhen was not ready to let the sect fall so easily. Even if the East Saint Sect might cease to exist after today, becoming merely a branch within the Tianyuan Palace, these were his people. Without them, the status and influence he longed for could vanish.    

These individuals represented the bedrock of the Dongyuan Continent's elite powers. The longevity and deterrence of a major force depended not only on its top leaders but also on its extensive middle ranks and the constant influx of those at the grassroots level.    

Should the entire East Saint Sect be wiped out, there might not even be a branch left. Lin Xuan wouldn't hesitate to reassign him to another division within the sect.
