Not long after, amidst earth-shattering explosions, the Sect Protection Array finally showed cracks.

Through the fissure, one could even see the panicked figures of the Golden Thunder Sect disciples inside.

"Let's take advantage of the momentum!" Sikong Yan laughed aloud to the heavens, waving his sleeve, unleashing another round of fierce attacks.

This time, the Sect Protection Array completely shattered.

Rampaging spiritual power turbulence swept through the surroundings, the heavy bluestone steps before the Golden Thunder Sect mountain gate were mostly blown away, debris scattered everywhere.

"Children, charge!" Sikong Yan laughed heartily, raising his arm to shout, full of heroic spirit.

But quickly realizing that standing behind him were a group of white-haired Supreme Elders, he awkwardly coughed twice.

Turning instead to wave at the Cangyan Daoist Palace disciples on the flying ship: "Follow me to slay the enemy!"

With that, he was the first to rush into the Golden Thunder Sect mountain gate, followed closely by everyone.

Zhong Yao upon seeing this, reactivated the Imaging Stone, saying, "Your Majesty, please look, your subordinate has united with the local Taiqing Sect and Cangyan Daoist Palace people, and have successfully breached the Golden Thunder Sect mountain gate..."

They say when the tree falls, the monkeys scatter!

The rapid downfall of the Golden Thunder Sect exceeded everyone's expectations.

In merely one day, this sect that stood in the Eastern Domain for tens of thousands of years crumbled into ruins.

Cultivators above the Golden Core Realm were all detained by the Blood Forbidden Army.

Moreover, in the prison in the direction of the former Thunder Pool, they found over a hundred infected zombies.

Among them were more than a dozen in the Divinity Transformation Realm, almost half were missing elders of the Golden Thunder Sect, while the rest were unrecognizable.

"Record all of this!" Zhong Yao used the Imaging Stone to capture each scene.

Then, experts from both sects joined forces to destroy these dangerous sources, ensuring no hidden dangers remained.

The distribution of spoils went surprisingly smoothly.

The Taiqing Sect and Cangyan Daoist Palace took what they needed, everyone was delighted.

"Gong Zhen, actually I'm an undercover agent planted by the Taiqing Sect in the Golden Thunder Sect, I beg Brother Zhong to show mercy!"

Seeing members of the Golden Thunder Sect being escorted onto the flying ship, ready to depart for the capital, Gao Xuan couldn't help but step forward.

The originally restrained by spiritual chains Gong Zhen suddenly raised his head, eyes full of shock.

Gao Xuan nodded slightly, and Cao Zhengyang also stepped forward to corroborate.

Back then, amidst internal turmoil in the Golden Thunder Sect, Cangyan Daoist Palace also invaded the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect.

To resolve the crisis of Cyan Feather, the Taiqing Sect executed the plan of shedding the golden cicada skin, fooling Phecda Sect's Master Xuanji, detoured to assist Golden Thunder Sect.

Furthermore, they crushed the token of past friendship between Gao Xuan and Gong Zhen, which allowed him to open the mountain gate barrier, and helped Lei Wuji quell the internal conflict, then collaboratively rescued Cyan Feather Immortal Sect.

Zhong Yao's gaze wandered among the three, the corners of his mouth gradually lifted into a knowing smile.

Having one more or less captive, to him, it's just a matter of adding or subtracting a name on the roster.

"Should have told me earlier!" Zhong Yao laughed heartily, waved his hand, the spiritual chain broke with a sound, "Almost hurt our own."

Gong Zhen staggered two steps, eyes still in shock.

Just half an hour ago, the County Governor's voice of surrender echoed throughout the mountain gate, only then he knew that the death of the fifth Prince, the fall of Princess Consort Ying, the extermination of the Liu Family, and many other tragedies in the Eastern Domain were all perpetrated by the Golden Thunder Sect's top officials.

"Greetings Sect Leader!" Gong Zhen knelt on one knee, voice choked with emotion.

He understood, were it not for this suddenly conferred identity, he would've been taken to the capital, left with no chance of survival.

Gao Xuan then helped him up, gently patted his shoulder, saying nothing further.

From afar came the sound of something breaking through the air, reinforcements from Taiqing Sect and Cyan Feather Immortal Sect finally arrived.

Everyone swiftly took control of the important areas of the Golden Thunder Sect, establishing the new tripartite structure in the Eastern Domain.

...

Taiqing Sect!

On the foggy Divine Peak, Zhou Qing handed the dazzling Three-color Array Disc to Cao Zhengyang.

"Good! Good!"

Cao Zhengyang stroked the complex patterns on the Array Disc, repeatedly praising.

Several Supreme Elders were also visibly delighted, they immediately began replacing the Sect Protection Array.

Soon after, the replaced Bicolor Array now lay quietly in the Cyan Feather Immortal Sect's main hall.

"This... This..." Immortal Xuan You and others' fingers trembled lightly, not daring to touch.

Cyan Feather Immortal Sect, through countless generations of Sect Leaders, was unable to even lay the most fundamental One-color Array, now suddenly jump to the second level.

The Supreme Elder Yun Jing and others pinched themselves hard, grimaced in pain to ensure they were not dreaming.

Everyone in the hall exchanged smiles, eyes filled with gratitude.

This thigh was well worth holding onto!

...

Since the fall of Golden Thunder Sect, more than two months have passed!

Peak Masters of various peaks were almost constantly traveling between Taiqing Sect, Phecda Sect, and the old site of Golden Thunder Sect, even Direct Disciples and True Disciples were all dispatched.

Lu Yaoyao and Yan, who'd been delving into ways to make money, were no exception.

Only Zhou Qing was the exception.

The merit of crafting the Three-color Array was enough to allow him to leisurely enjoy his peace.

At the moment, he was toying with the Divine Ruins Celestial Palace Token, gazing thoughtfully at the flickering purple dot on the back.

Since the day after the fall of Golden Thunder Sect, the number seven purple sphere has been online every day for an hour—this was clearly sending him some sort of signal.

"Looks like they're trying to find me, if so, might as well go see!"

Zhou Qing accordingly activated the barrier, then injected spirit stones, after activation his consciousness was instantly drawn inside.

"Ah, you're finally here!" As soon as he entered, the jubilant voice of the number seven purple sphere sounded.

Zhou Qing looked at him, calmly said: "What do you want with me?"

"You really understand, we really have a mutual understanding!" Sikong Yan's voice carried a smile.

Zhou Qing frowned slightly: "Speak quickly."

Sikong Yan quickly said: "About the Golden Thunder Sect, how do you think I did?"

Warning bells rang in Zhou Qing's heart, yet his face showed confusion: "Golden Thunder Sect? What's the matter?"

"You don't know?"

"Do you think I should know?" Zhou Qing retorted.
