<h4>Chapter 1284 - The Faceless People</h4>


    Tianming wasn’t very clear about the situation or the factional undercurrents in Orderia.


    "Didn''t you say that the Sky Pce and Myriad Sr Sects are united against the celestial orderians? Aren’t the two sides supposed to have divided the world in two and refrained from interfering with each other?" How could the sun emperor attack the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect? "Isn''t this tantamount to going to war with the Myriad Sr Sects?"


    He was a little confused. Even if the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect had benefited from this Voidsky Skirmish and invoked the envy of others, an attack by the celestial orderians would be crossing the line. Could the other sects just sit back and watch it happen?


    The key was the Sky Pce, the representative of the Myriad Sr Sects. They were the ones who dealt with the celestial orderians. Even if many sects had forgotten the threat of the celestial orderians after years of peace and infighting, the Sky Pce still had its use. Tianming had just left them, but could easily return with the stigma.


    “Let’s go.”


    After the end of the Voidsky Skirmish, the Voidsky me Pir was no longer closed to Jiang Qingliu and Long Wanying. Led by the Sky Pce disciples, they returned to the Skyward Stele. However, apart from Tianming and Yu Ziqian, no one else could enter it, much less set foot inside the wooden house.


    "Ziqian and I will ask them," said Tianming.


    "Do you remember what I said?" Long Wanying asked eagerly.


    “I do. Don''t worry."


    Tianming was a reliable man. After leaving a silver cockroach on Lingfeng''s shoulder, he headed toward the Sky Pce.


    "They were in that great hall before."


    Yin Chen still had quite a few bodies inside. They turned their attention to the white hall. Tianming and Yu Ziqian quickly returned to the main hall. In front of them was the stairs, but there was no one in the hall.


    “Seniors, I have something important to ask you!"


    Tianming wasn’t on good terms with the white-robed elders, so Yu Ziqian did the talking. They stared at the top of the stairs, but failed to get a response. In fact, Tianming had known there was no one here even before they’d entered the wooden house.


    "The sun emperor has led the celestial orderians in attacking the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect and vited the rules. They’re going to war with the Sky Pce and Myriad Sr Sects! Please preside over the situation and rescue the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect from the quagmire," Yu Ziqian said loudly, his voice echoing in the empty hall. But there was still no response.


    "The Sky Pce receives the respect and reverence of the Myriad Sr Sects and enjoys a lofty status. Now that something came along, you’re not going to hide and y ostrich, are you?”


    Tianming despised these unpredictable and cunning people. When they assumed their position, they took over the responsibilities that came along with it. The Myriad Sr Sects gave the Sky Pce its high status, which allowed them to hold power over the distribution of the sects’ cultivation resources.


    "Aren’t you going to show up? Why are you hiding?"


    This matter was closely rted to Tianming. After the Voidsky Skirmish, the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect had be the bedrock of his cultivation. This was his hard-won opportunity topletely integrate into Orderia. In the future, he could rely on the sect and a united Myriad Sr Sects for an opportunity to fight the celestial orderians and truly establish himself on the sun.


    However, the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect was now in turmoil, which interrupted his brilliant future prospects. If it weren''t for his identity as a Sky Pce disciple, he would be left in dire straits, unable to even hold on to the Lifesteal Silverdragon. Having offended the person behind Weisheng Moran, a miserable end awaited him. He would still be affected even if he was now a disciple of the Sky Pce. If the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect was destroyed, he would be out in the cold.


    Despite the sarcasm in his words, there was still no response in the empty hall. His heart pounded with tension.


    "We’reing up!"


    Raising his head, Tianming nced at the steps in front of him. Even if the seven white-robed people were hostile toward him, Tianming wasn’t afraid of them in the presence of the wooden house. The moment his feetnded on the steps, the ground beneath him trembled.


    "Stop!" came the order.


    Tianming looked up and saw a white-robed man appear at the top of the stairs.


    "Fall back!"


    A burst of power swept over Tianming, sending him flying backward and mming into Yu Ziqian.


    "Is there a secret to these stairs?"


    His blood roiling, Tianming narrowed his eyes. He rose to his feet and nced over. There seemed to be only six people at the top of the stairs. What was even more bizarre was their pale faces. The powder and blush hadpletely fallen off. These people were devoid of eyes, ears, and a nose, their faces as smooth as a mirror.


    The only difference between them were their hairstyles and the shape of their bodies. Judging from thetter, the only one missing was the white-robed woman who had suppressed Yu Ziqian. She was the youngest and most well-maintained, while the remaining six were extremely old. Tianming felt his hair stand on end as he stared at the faceless people that didn’t even have eyes.


    With how noble the Sky Pce was, Tianming had imagined their members were all peerless geniuses despite being few in numbers, with unique personalities and extraordinary demeanors. At the very least, there should be someone as interesting as Ouyang Jianwang. However, thest time they had entered the wooden house, they were greeted with a bunch of wooden, powder-faced people. And this time they didn’t even have a face. It was unspeakably creepy. Without the white fog surrounding them and lending an air of sanctity, it felt as if he was standing in a cemetery. Their strange togetherness and order was terrifying.


    Taking a deep breath, Yu Ziqian quickly added, "Seniors, did you hear what I said earlier? The sun emperor has led the celestial orderians in attacking the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect. We’re part of the Xuanyuan Dragon Sect, so on behalf of the elders, we would like to ask the Sky Pce toe forward and restrain the sun emperor. Otherwise, we’ll unite with the other sects and fight the celestial orderians!"


    It was the Sky Pce’s responsibility to unite the Myriad Sr Sects.


    "We’re already dealing with this matter. There is no need to be impatient. We’ll give you an answer," the six faceless people replied in unison.


    So the missing person was dealing with this matter? Just as Tianming was about to speak, the faceless people interrupted, "After entering the Sky Pce, you must focus solely on the Sky Pce and prepare to devote yourselves to the Sky Pce, even if you are less than five hundred years of age. As juniors, your only task is to cultivate! We willmunicate with the Myriad Sr Sects with regard to the overall situation. This is no ce for rude behavior. Get out.”


    With the flick of a finger, Tianming and Yu Ziqian were sent rolling out of the hall. In themotion, the silver cockroaches in the hall were thrown out as well. The ones that remained were hidden in the corners, motionless and invisible. Tianming and Yu Ziqian fell out of the Stele and onto the ground.


    "How’d it go?" Long Wanying asked anxiously as she helped them up.
