Even if only to convince the masses and silence the gossiping mouths, a punishment must be imposed on the Mo Family.
And the severity of this punishment would not be light.
After all, what major Sect forces care about most is their reputation.
Building a good reputation takes years, while destroying it often takes only a single moment.
Therefore, Ge Ye could already guess that the Mo Family would inevitably be abandoned as a discarded pawn.
And what kind of retaliation the Mo Family, having lost the support of the Cloud Mist Sect, would suffer from the various forces in Yan City, was unknown.
However, it was foreseeable that the Mo Family was finished.
As for entering the Gate of Life and Death, as a deacon, all he could do was advise.
He had absolutely no qualifications to influence the decision of the Young Sect Leader Nalan Yanran.
A slight discouragement was fine, but if he said too much, given his status, it would be somewhat inappropriate.
Ge Ye and Nalan Yanran could not fly, so naturally, they left by riding a flying Demonic Beast.
Fortunately, Xiao Yan's movements were faster than theirs, so there was no awkward scene of "We agreed no need to see me off, what's with meeting at the airport."
Half a month later, the Mo Family was discovered by the Cloud Mist Sect's "Inspection Group" to be conducting some insane vivisection experiments.
Then, the Mo Family was purged by the Cloud Mist Sect, and this matter was announced to the entire Jia Ma Empire with the help of the Cloud Mist Sect's influence.
The Cloud Mist Sect also publicly stated that once any force is discovered by the Cloud Mist Sect to be conducting such "Evil Cultivation" that harms the harmony of heaven, they will be struck with thunderous blows; all families and forces are requested to take this as a warning.
This action did indeed earn the Cloud Mist Sect quite a lot of praise from the public.
For most of the ordinary public in the Jia Ma Empire, they could not come into contact with a transcendent force like the Cloud Mist Sect.
In their hearts, the Cloud Mist Sect was the Holy Land for cultivation in the entire Jia Ma Empire.
Therefore, they gave widespread praise to this action of the Cloud Mist Sect.
However, those who truly understood the truth, such as the Jiama Royal Family and some other forces, watched the Cloud Mist Sect's [Announcement] with cold sneers.
They were all thousand-year-old foxes, what kind of act were they putting on?
But it had to be said that this move of the Cloud Mist Sect to sacrifice the pawn to save the chariot was indeed a brilliant move, raising its reputation among the commoners quite a bit.
Although in the Fighting Qi Continent, a world where the strong are respected, the saying "Water can carry a boat, but it can also overturn it" does not fully apply.
But in these few Empires of the Northwest Continent, popular support still plays a not insignificant role.
After all, these few Empires in the Northwest Continent sound impressive, being at the "Empire" level, but in reality, they are not even as good as a single Sect force in the Central Plains.
Only in this borderland of the Northwest Continent would they dare to call themselves an "Empire."
Because the strong simply look down on the resources here.
Look at the Central Plains, with piles of big-shot forces; basically, they all belong to public areas.
Who would dare to build their own country there?
Carving out a piece of land to be the territory of a certain force is already not bad.
Although these forces, if truly compared in terms of strength, are countless times stronger than these few Empires in the Northwest Continent.
Moreover, the development of an Empire, apart from high-level combat power, relies entirely on population.
But the degree of freedom in an Empire is far higher than in a Sect.
If you don't want to stay, you can just leave directly, and the Royal Family can't control you.
Unlike those Sect forces, which have a certain binding power over those who join them.
If popular support dissipates and the residents run to other Empires, it will inevitably have a significant impact on the development of the Empire.
Therefore, winning over the hearts of the people is equally important for the Jiama Royal Family.
Thus, the Jiama Royal Family also quickly took action, similarly made a statement, and even established a special "relevant department."
The coverage of the Jiama Royal Family is larger, including the former territory of the Izumo Empire.
After all, almost everyone has heard of how chaotic the Izumo Empire, where Poison Masters run rampant, is.
The Jia Ma Empire spent great effort to rectify that region, allowing the citizens to live in peace and security, which also received rave reviews.
Of course, Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran knew nothing about these matters.
At this time, Xiao Yan had already arrived at the Jia Nan Academy, ten thousand miles away.
And Nalan Yanran had also long since entered the Gate of Life and Death for training.
