Chapter 679: Ten Heavens Sect

After some pleasantries, Wu Zhene looked at Wu Li and asked curiously, "Brother, since you've come to the Forbidden Realm, what are your plans now?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Li thought for a moment before looking up and replying honestly, "Not yet. I'll observe the situation in the Forbidden Realm first before making any plans."

Wu Li was not the type to act rashly by nature. He preferred to think twice before acting, so before clearly observing the situation in the Forbidden Realm, Wu Li did not intend to take any action.

Wu Zhene immediately jumped in, looking at Wu Li with a tone full of temptation, "In that case, Brother, how about joining me in action to wipe out the Ten Heavens Sect?"

Hearing Wu Zhene's invitation, Wu Li frowned slightly and intended to refuse, as it didn't seem like a very safe task at first glance.

But Wu Zhene could guess what Wu Li wanted to say and quickly spoke up, "Brother, don't be in a hurry to refuse. This could be a good thing for both of us."

"Brother, you might not know this, but after Cultivating Forbidden Power, one can devour their own kind to quickly grow stronger. The Ten Heavens Sect is an extremely powerful force within the entire Forbidden Realm, and it even contains sixteenth and seventeenth-level forbidden beings. If we can absorb them, our strength will definitely receive a terrifying boost."

Hearing Wu Zhene's words, a look of surprise appeared on Wu Li's Face, but he quickly accepted this setting. After all, the world is vast and full of wonders; even in the Divine Realm, similar races exist.

After hearing that he could absorb Forbidden Creatures to grow stronger, a hesitant expression appeared on Wu Li's Face.

Seeing this, Wu Zhene continued, "Ah, Brother, you can control the space-time power of the Forbidden Realm. Even sixteenth-level forbidden beings probably wouldn't notice you, right? So unless the Sect Master of the Ten Heavens Sect takes action, no forbidden being in the Ten Heavens Sect can do anything to us. Moreover, you can quickly grow stronger, and I can overthrow my enemies. It's a win-win situation."

"Besides, it seems the Ten Heavens Sect holds some secrets we don't know about. If we can get our hands on them, it might be of great benefit for future battles."

With these words from Wu Zhene, Wu Li no longer hesitated and nodded in agreement.

But Wu Li said with an extremely serious expression, "I can join you in wiping out the Ten Heavens Sect, but in the upcoming actions, you must follow my commands."

"Yes, I understand, Brother."

Wu Zhene naturally knew he couldn't compare to his Brother, so he wouldn't refuse and nodded in agreement.

Even though his current Cultivation in the forbidden Dao was higher than his Brother's, Wu Zhene understood in his heart that this was only due to his advantage of starting Cultivation earlier. If they were on equal footing, his Brother could probably easily defeat him.

"Alright, let's leave first, or they'll catch up soon."

Wu Li spoke up, and Wu Zhene's eyes lit up as he remembered something and said, "Brother, come with me. I'll take you to a place."

With that, Wu Li allowed Wu Zhene to lead him away elsewhere.

Meanwhile, in the Ten Heavens Sect, the atmosphere was oppressive. In the Sect's main hall, Sect Leader Cheng Yu of the Ten Heavens Sect had an extremely unpleasant expression. Below, all the elders of the Ten Heavens Sect lowered their heads, not daring to look up at the Sect Master, fearing he might kill and absorb them in a fit of rage.

"Can anyone explain to me why, under such strict surveillance, a junior at the Early Stage of the ninth level managed to steal our Ten Heavens Sect's treasure!"

Cheng Yu's tone was calm, but inwardly, he was already furious to the extreme.

As Cheng Yu spoke, the elders below fell into a deathly silence, completely unwilling to speak.

But not speaking didn't mean nothing would happen. Cheng Yu looked at one of the elders at the Early Stage of the sixteenth level and said,

"Elder Ju, explain to me why this happened. Why could a ninth-level junior steal the ancient jade of devouring taboo? Tell me!"

As Cheng Yu spoke, Elder Ju, who had been lowering his head, looked up with an extremely fearful expression and said in a terrified tone, "Sect Master, that day our Ten Heavens Sect was holding a grand banquet, so the Disciples guarding the ancient jade of devouring taboo were somewhat lax. But Sect Master, I swear, I truly didn't expect anyone to be so bold as to dare steal from our Ten Heavens Sect."

Elder Ju knew that today he had to appear pitiful; otherwise, the Sect Master would definitely not spare him, as the Sect's security was his responsibility.

Originally, Elder Ju thought that given his status as an Elder and his many contributions to the Sect, the Sect Master would at most be angry and reprimand him, probably not kill him. But he had completely underestimated the Sect Master's temperament.

In the next second, Cheng Yu looked at Elder Ju and roared, "A mistake is a mistake and must be punished. So, it's time for you to go!"

Hearing the Sect Master's words, Elder Ju's Face was filled with terror, completely not expecting the Sect Master to kill him.

But before he could do anything, he saw the Sect Master reach out and directly suck him over. At the Early Stage of the sixteenth level, he had no resistance against the seventeenth-level Sect Master.

Feeling the Sect Master's incredibly powerful strength, Elder Ju pleaded in extreme fear, "Sect Master, spare me! I'm willing to atone for my crime by bringing back the ancient jade of devouring taboo!"

The other elders, seeing this scene, though their Faces were filled with fear, quickly spoke up to plead for Elder Ju, "Yes, Sect Master, killing Elder Ju won't solve the problem. It's better to let him atone for his crime by retrieving the ancient jade of devouring taboo."

"That's right, Sect Master, please spare Elder Ju and let him personally retrieve the ancient jade of devouring taboo."

"We beg the Sect Master to spare Elder Ju for our Face."

Hearing the elders' words below, Elder Ju couldn't help but feel relieved. Surely, given so many elders' pleas, the Sect Master wouldn't kill him.

But the next second, Cheng Yu, without another word, cleanly and decisively executed Elder Ju and directly absorbed him.

The elders below completely didn't expect that even with all the Ten Heavens Sect's elders pleading for Elder Ju, they still couldn't save him. This made them feel a bit of resentment toward the Sect Master for a moment.

Cheng Yu naturally could anticipate this, but he didn't care at all. He looked down and snorted, "Making a mistake requires accepting punishment. Moreover, the ancient jade of devouring taboo is our Ten Heavens Sect's treasure. Not just him, even if I, the Sect Master, lost the ancient jade of devouring taboo, I would atone with my death."

"If I spared him, what order would there be in the Ten Heavens Sect? In the future, no one would take Sect rules seriously!"

Hearing Cheng Yu's words, the elders below all lowered their heads in shame, clearly not expecting this to be the reason the Sect Master executed Elder Ju.

Looking at the elders below, Cheng Yu couldn't help but sigh, and his tone softened considerably as he said,

"In any case, the ancient jade of devouring taboo is our Ten Heavens Sect's treasure and must not fall into outside hands. So, I'll leave this matter to you to resolve, Elder Cai. Can you handle it?"

As Cheng Yu spoke, the next second, a figure stood up and replied with an extremely serious look, "Sect Master, leave this matter to me!"
