Transmigrated Scoundrel's Exchange Systemchapter 152: prime minister liang zhen

Finally, the Sect Master of the Divine Wind Sect broke the silence, saying, "The Sect Master of Frost Peak and I have reached a decision. We plan to surrender to the Sky Soaring Sect. We simply cannot face this level of battle. Only Void Immortals could emerge unscathed from such an attack, and we do not possess that level of power."

Upon hearing this, the Royal Patriarch nodded solemnly. He did not blame the two sect masters for choosing to submit to the Sky Soaring Sect after witnessing their overwhelming power. He knew that even he was not capable of confronting them.

The Emperor, too, understood that the Divine Wind Sect's Sect Master and the Frost Peak Sect Master had no other options. They lacked the support of an Earth Immortal, while the Sky Soaring Sect had demonstrated the might of a Void Immortal. Only beings of such caliber or higher could cause destruction on such a monumental scale.

In truth, even the Royal Patriarch and the Emperor were considering surrendering. The grim reality was that they did not have much choice in the matter. If they refused to surrender and the Sky Soaring Sect launched an assault, they would be utterly doomed.

However, the Sect Master of the Starfall Sect was not willing to accept defeat so easily. His entire sect had been destroyed – the product of his hard work, his home, and the lives of countless disciples and elders were snuffed out. He was consumed by rage and an unquenchable thirst for vengeance.

With a steely resolve, the Sect Master of the Starfall Sect spoke up, "You all are cowards; you give up in fear. I have already sent the word out – I will not rest until the Sky Soaring Sect is annihilated. I will make them suffer, and whoever surrenders will suffer alongside them."

Upon hearing this declaration, the Frost Peak Sect Master and the Divine Wind Sect Master were gripped by fear.

The Immortals of the Starfall Sect were indeed still alive, and unlike the Sky Soaring Sect, their sects did not possess a grand array capable of protecting them from Earth Immortals. The prospect of facing the wrath of the Starfall Sect's remaining forces was a chilling thought.

While the Frost Peak and Divine Wind Sect's masters were hung up on the threat by the Starfall Sect's Sect Master, the Royal Patriarch and the Emperor were more concerned about his first statement that he had sent the word out.

The Royal Patriarch asked, "Are you sure about this?"

The Sect Master of the Starfall Sect nodded and said, "Yes, I am certain."

The atmosphere in the meeting became tense as everyone weighed their options. Surrendering to the Sky Soaring Sect seemed like the only logical choice, but the Sect Master of the Starfall Sect's determination made them uneasy. The possibility of retaliation from the Starfall Sect's remaining Earth Immortals could not be ignored.

In the midst of the intense discussion, a voice suddenly rang out, clear and assertive, cutting through the tense atmosphere like a knife. "You will do no such thing."

The unexpected interruption sent shockwaves through the room as everyone exchanged glances, wondering who had dared to intrude on their private gathering.

The assembled group was taken aback, as the forbidden area of the royal palace was strictly off-limits, and no one was permitted to enter or eavesdrop on their conversation. The question of who had trespassed into the restricted area and listened in on their discussion weighed heavily on their minds.

As they tried to make sense of the situation, a figure confidently strode into the hall. To their astonishment, it was none other than the Prime Minister of Yin, Liang Zhen. Unfazed by the stunned expressions around him, Liang Zhen reiterated his earlier statement, "The Daxing Treaty is explicit on this matter: no external organization can interfere in the internal affairs of a nation's power directly. The treaty is binding, and we must adhere to it."

Liang Zhen then gestured behind him, and two individuals with their faces concealed entered the hall. They were gripping a bruised and battered man whose hands were bound tightly.

Without missing a beat, the Prime Minister continued, "The messenger you dispatched was apprehended by my men. All the Immortals of your Starfall Sect have managed to escape. It's high time that you flee as well, or I cannot guarantee your safety."

The unexpected turn of events left everyone present reeling, particularly the Sect Masters of the Frost Peak and Divine Wind Sects. Even the Emperor was flabbergasted to learn that his trusted Prime Minister was, in fact, a member of one of those enigmatic and powerful organizations that held sway behind the scenes.

The Sect Master of the Starfall Sect, however, remained defiant in the face of Liang Zhen's revelations. He refused to believe the Prime Minister's words and challenged him boldly, "And why should I place my trust in you? On whose authority do you presume to command me?"

The atmosphere in the room grew even more tense as everyone awaited Liang Zhen's response to the Sect Master's pointed question.

In response to the Sect Master's challenge, the Prime Minister of Yin calmly reached into his robes and produced a medallion. With a flick of his wrist, he tossed it towards the Sect Master of the Starfall Sect, who caught it with practiced ease.

The Sect Master scrutinized the medallion closely, taking note of every detail. As he gazed upon the simple artifact adorned with a faintly etched lotus at its center, he released a deep, weary sigh, clearly recognizing its significance.

The Sect Master of the Starfall Sect couldn't help but let out a bitter laugh. He addressed the Prime Minister, his voice tinged with anger and frustration, "So you plan to use this opportunity to seize control of Yin? I may have temporarily lost my grip on power, but rest assured. My organization will return with a vengeance. I trust that your organization is prepared for the inevitable confrontation. This is far from over. I will have my revenge, one way or another."
