Hearing this round of explanation from the Love Emperor, Heartbroken Nangong, the Yuhua Sect disciples, Supreme Elders, Saints, and Utmost Immortal Emperors present relaxed significantly.
Feather Emperor was still alive, and his slaughter of the Barbarian Race was becoming increasingly formidable.
It seemed that the Yuhua Sect would not be affected by the purge of the Hua family but would instead grow increasingly prosperous.
If Feather Emperor truly had the possibility of advancing to a Heavenly Lord, then perhaps… even the Heavenly Court would directly be unable to command them. The Yuhua Sect could then stand at the peak of the major families in the Heaven Realm, just like the Muye Family and the Huangfu Family.
"Also, Wind Fate, I naturally didn't come here just to say these words. Feather Emperor has an important item for me to bring." While speaking, the Love Emperor, Heartbroken Nangong, swept his large sleeve. A ray of light shot out, and five figures fell onto the floor of the Judgment Hall, their bodies becoming visible.
It was shockingly the five elders of the Hua family: Hua Wenchang, Hua Wenbin, Hua Wenwu, Hua Wentian, and Hua Wencheng.
These five Emperors were now merely small ants at the Heavenly Immortal realm, having lost all their laws, but they cursed incessantly: "Feather Emperor, you will not die a good death! Hateful, we failed to successfully assassinate you, but Heavenly Lord Hua will inevitably descend, and all of you will die."
"Big Brother, we've changed locations; it seems we have arrived in the Judgment Hall of the Yuhua Sect."
Suddenly, Hua Wenbin said to Hua Wenchang.
"Ah? The Judgment Hall."
"Feather Emperor actually dared to bring us to the Judgment Hall. Is he not afraid of the Hua family members rebelling?"
Upon seeing the Judgment Hall, the five elders of the Hua family instantly became excited, but then they saw Fang Han sitting high up on the throne, and immediately, every single one of them froze in a stupor.
Subsequently, Hua Wenchang swept his gaze around wildly. Not seeing a single Hua family disciple, his heart instantly trembled.
"Military Emperor! You came at just the right time. Feather Emperor, and this little animal, usurped the divine artifact! Immediately summon all the people of the Hua family to sanction this child! We will hold an assembly to impeach Feather Emperor," Hua Wenchang said.
"Hua Wenchang, stop wasting your energy. The sky in the Yuhua Sect has already changed. The era of your Hua family acting tyrannically is gone forever." The Earth Saint Tu Longsun spoke up: "The people of the Hua family have all been killed off by Wind Fate, completely purged."
"Hua Wenchang, you truly have a lot of nerve, daring to collude with outsiders to murder the headmaster!" The Military Emperor, Plum Emperor, and other Emperors fully believed at this moment that Hua Wenchang had colluded with outsiders to murder the headmaster. Such a chilling matter was something all the experts with other surnames could not tolerate.
Blatantly colluding with outsiders and disregarding the rules to plot against the headmaster; wasn't that completely without regard for laws and order? What rules would be left? Although the Hua family single-handedly covered the sky within the Yuhua Sect, this kind of precedent could absolutely not be set.
"The Hua family is simply lawless and absolutely cannot be tolerated. The purge just now was correct."
"Plotting even against the Headmaster Supreme; is there any overall regard for the situation? Are there any rules? The Hua family is indeed a tumor. Well killed."
"Damnable! Truly damnable!"
"The Hua family is gone. We disciples can finally make a mark. In the past, oppressed by some rich young masters of the Hua family who did not cultivate properly and spent their days in sensual pleasures yet occupied massive amounts of resources… when they directly surpassed me, I had to swallow my broken teeth into my own stomach."
…
The thousands of Supreme Elders, Saints, Origination Immortals, Ancestor Immortal Holy Sons, and even Golden Immortal core experts present—even low-status Venerables like the Great Venerable and Chang Ping who had come—looked at Fang Han. Recalling his appearance from that day, they could not help but sigh with emotion.
"The Hua family was purged? Impossible? Impossible?" Hua Wenchang looked around and pointed at the crowd: "You all have a lot of nerve! Our Hua family is the ruler of the Yuhua Sect, and you actually dared to purge us! I tell you, Heavenly Lord Hua will descend in the near future, and all of you will face destruction."
"Hua Wenchang, Heavenly Lord Hua's divine intent descended just now, but it was broken by the Staff of Legends and completely disappeared." The Moon Emperor could not help but speak: "Therefore, your Hua family has completely lost all hope. Wind Fate's backer is Heavenly Lord Duobao. Holding the Staff of Legends, he swept across heaven and earth; Heavenly Lord Hua is no match for him either. Now, you must accept punishment for murdering the headmaster."
"What? Heavenly Lord Hua's divine intent descended and was defeated?" Hua Wenchang seemed to age by tens of thousands of years, but then his expression turned sharp. "You are all lying! What immense divine power does Heavenly Lord Hua possess? How could he be defeated, and inside the Ascension Heaven Kingdom at that? This Heaven Kingdom was forged by Heavenly Lord Hua! Are you trying to deceive the master and destroy the ancestors?"
"Enough!" Fang Han emitted a sound, suppressing all other voices: "Hua Wenchang, the five of you are guilty of heinous crimes. Senior Brother Feather Emperor sending you back means he ultimately made up his mind. Do you still think Heavenly Lord Hua will come to save you? What a joke! I am just about to do a grand event today; watch closely. It is the grand event of destroying the old to establish the new, representing the ultimate innovation of our Yuhua Sect."
While speaking, he clenched his hands and swiped in the air. The entire space immediately split apart, the clouds and mist dispersed, and within the Ascension Heaven Kingdom, a massive hall was revealed. This hall was exactly the Holy Hall.
In the center of the Holy Hall towered a tall, sacred statue; it was the statue of Heavenly Lord Hua. On that day, Fang Han had once offered incense to this statue. All disciples of the Yuhua Sect had offered incense to this ancestral master.
At that time, Fang Han could not see the true face of this statue clearly, but now he saw it distinctly. Heavenly Lord Hua stood amidst the firmament, his hands clasped behind his back, gazing into the distance, possessing unparalleled majesty.
"Break for me!"
Fang Han stood up from the feather throne, waving his hands. The Eight Divisions Pagoda appeared behind him, and streaks of True Dragon astral aura converged into a torrent, charging toward the statue of Heavenly Lord Hua.
That statue immediately erupted with waves of forbidden magic, blocking Fang Han's attack.
"Hmph! Even your original intent was defeated by the Staff of Legends, and a mere statue actually dares to block me? Destroy!" Fang Han's hands changed again, slashing out a river-like Blade of Destiny. It swept around the neck of Heavenly Lord Hua's statue, and with a tear, all forbidden magics shattered.
The tall head of Heavenly Lord Hua's statue crashed down, smashing onto the ground. Where the head was severed, fresh blood actually flowed down.
Fang Han paid it no attention, clenching a fist and striking.
"Bang!"
Vast fist energy, the Dao of the Era, directly shattered the body of Heavenly Lord Hua's statue into pieces.
A legend, an eternal existence, a myth was thoroughly shattered at this moment. Within the Yuhua Sect, the destruction of Heavenly Lord Hua's statue truly represented destroying the old and establishing the new.
The Seven Great Emperors, all the Saints, Origination Immortals, Holy Sons, and Golden Immortal disciples watched dumbfounded, unable to control themselves. Although it was said that Fang Han wanted to destroy the old and establish the new, now that he had truly destroyed Heavenly Lord Hua's statue, many people still felt a little unnatural.
However, some experts with extreme hatred for the Hua family roared loudly: "Satisfying, satisfying! Senior Brother Wind is invincible! Wind Fate is invincible!"
"Animal!"
Hua Wenchang and the five elders of the Hua family all felt their hearts and livers split apart; they were heartbroken. Heavenly Lord Hua was their belief and spiritual sustenance in their hearts. Now that even the statue was destroyed, they almost wanted to tear Fang Han into ten thousand pieces immediately.
"Five elders of the Hua family! Heavenly Lord Hua's statue has already been destroyed." With a grab of Fang Han's large hand, the statue of Heavenly Lord Hua transformed into a massive amount of origin energy that rushed into the Eight Divisions Pagoda. The material of this statue was a supreme magic treasure, highly beneficial to one's own origin energy. Naturally, Fang Han would not let it slip away. "Now, it is time to judge you."
"Ptui!"
Hua Wenchang spat, a look of disdain on his face.
Yet Fang Han was completely unmoved: "Everyone, all the bloodlines of the Hua family have been killed off entirely. These five Hua family elders are the chief culprits and absolutely cannot be kept. Executing the law strictly and justly now, I will personally finish them off. This is a new beginning for our Yuhua Sect."
"You dare!" Hua Wenchang roared in fury.
"Bang!"
Fang Han struck a palm across the void. Hua Wenchang's voice stopped; he transformed into fragments, directly began to burn, and his soul and consciousness turned into nothingness in the air, completely disappearing, both body and soul annihilated.
Following that, he continuously flicked four fingers. The other four old antiques of the Hua family all shattered into fragments and also burned fiercely. Their souls wailed, and they screamed miserably.
A full ten breaths later, the five elders of the Hua family had completely disappeared from the world.
"It has become quiet…"
A thought simultaneously surfaced in the hearts of all Yuhua Sect experts.
"Good, good, good!" Heartbroken Nangong looked at Fang Han with appreciation: "Wind Fate, you truly live up to how highly that Heavenly Lord values you and guards you. Your methods are indeed ruthless, daring to destroy and create, destroying the statue of the Yuhua Sect's founding ancestor Heavenly Lord Hua. In the future, you will definitely surpass me."
"I have already surpassed you now." Fang Han said completely unceremoniously, "Otherwise, how would I be sitting here? Acting on behalf of Senior Brother Feather Emperor to govern the great sect?"
"Hahahaha!" Hearing this, Heartbroken Nangong was not angry but instead laughed. "If you brought out the Heavenly Zen Buddha Emperor, I would indeed have to tactfully withdraw."
"Haha!" Fang Han laughed as well: "Alright, this meeting is over, everyone in the Hua family has been judged, and the matters in the Yuhua Sect have come to a close. I am also heading off to participate in the Heavenly Court's Genius Battle."
"With your strength, taking first place is an effortless matter. However, do not drop your guard. Some of the Heavenly Court's Divine Prison Enforcement Disciples, as well as secluded young experts, will also appear. They all possess heavy treasures. Capsizing an unsinkable boat in a gutter is not unheard of," the Love Emperor warned.
"I have fought in battles countless times; how could I capsize?" Fang Han stepped down from the feather throne and tossed the Supreme Ascendant Token, which flew spinningly to stop in front of the Seven Great Emperors: "You Seven Great Emperors, hold the Supreme Ascendant Token safely and await the return of the Headmaster Senior Brother. I will lead our many Yuhua Sect Holy Sons and core disciples to participate in the Heavenly Court's Genius Battle."
The selections held by the Heavenly Court for this Genius Battle were divided into many levels: Golden Immortal level, Holy Son level, and even higher levels.
The most outstanding individuals would be chosen and given generous rewards. Naturally, the Eternal Heavenly Lord's adopted daughter would also go to watch, and some important figures of the Heavenly Court would select exceptionally talented individuals from among them.
"Rest assured. We will hold the Supreme Ascendant Token safely and truly put the Yuhua Sect in perfect order," the Seven Great Emperors said in unison. "If the Acting Headmaster can win the favor of the Eternal Heavenly Lord, we truly would be ascending to the sky in a single step."
Their forms of address had already changed.
