Chapter 11: Dominating the Sects Without a Fight
"A true ruler does not always need to use his sword. Sometimes, power is best displayed without drawing blood."

The Gathering of Sects
The Thunder Valley Sect, Profound Jade Sect, and Ancient Beast Mountain Sect had united, bringing over five Nascent Soul Realm sect masters to Xiao Tian's doorstep.
Their demand was clear—Submit, or be destroyed.
Xiao Tian stood before them, unfazed.
His golden eyes swept across the arrogant sect leaders, his aura calm yet overwhelming.
"Submit?" His voice was soft, yet it carried across the entire sect. "I wonder… which one of you is qualified to make such a demand?"
The five sect masters gritted their teeth.
The Thunder Valley Sect's leader, Lei Wushang, stepped forward. "Xiao Tian, your rise has disrupted the balance. If you refuse to join our alliance, we will be forced to suppress you!"
The surrounding disciples and elders of the Heavenly Cloud Sect tensed, ready for battle.
But Xiao Tian smiled.
"Suppression?" He took a step forward. "Tell me, what can your sects offer that I don't already have?"
His voice was filled with confidence, and deep inside, the other sect masters felt a chill run down their spines.
For the past month, the Heavenly Cloud Sect had grown at an unimaginable pace.
Their disciples' cultivation had skyrocketed.
Their resources had multiplied.
Their territory had expanded.
Most importantly—Xiao Tian himself was stronger than any of them.
Even if they combined forces, they were not certain they could defeat him.
A single war could cripple their sects beyond recovery.
They came to threaten him, but now they felt like prey before a predator.

A Deal They Couldn't Refuse
Xiao Tian finally spoke. "Instead of war, why don't we make a deal?"
The sect masters narrowed their eyes.
"What kind of deal?" asked Lei Wushang.
Xiao Tian smirked.
"Simple. The Heavenly Cloud Sect will not just join your alliance… we will lead it."
The sect masters froze.
The Profound Jade Sect's leader, Shen Mu, frowned. "You want to take over the alliance?"
"Why not?" Xiao Tian said casually. "Am I not the strongest among us?"
Silence.
No one could refute his words.
If strength dictated authority… then Xiao Tian was already the ruler of this region.
Seeing their hesitation, Xiao Tian delivered the final blow.
"If you agree, I will personally help your sects grow stronger."
The sect masters' eyes widened.
"What do you mean?"
Xiao Tian smiled, then waved his hand.
A massive storage ring appeared, and out of it poured:
Thousands of Heaven-Grade Pills
Hundreds of Legendary Artifacts
Advanced Cultivation Techniques
The sect masters' eyes trembled in disbelief.
Even their entire sect treasuries didn't have so many resources.
"These are just a taste," Xiao Tian said. "Follow me, and I will make your sects rise to levels you never imagined."
Greed and hesitation battled in the sect masters' minds.
But in the end… there was only one answer.
"We submit to Sect Master Xiao Tian!"
One by one, the great sects swore allegiance to the Heavenly Cloud Sect.
