Chapter 6: The Fall of the Azure Cloud Sect
Lan Yue's heart pounded as Shen Ziyan's grip tightened around her Dantian, sealing her spiritual energy. For the first time in years, fear flickered in her icy blue eyes.
The once-unshakable Core Disciple—now helpless before the overwhelming power of his infinite clones.

Shen Ziyan released her, watching as she fell to her knees. Her sword lay shattered beside her—a symbol of her defeat.
"You asked what I want," he said coolly. "I want everything your sect possesses—your knowledge, your resources… and you."
Lan Yue clenched her fists, rage burning behind her calm façade. "You won't get away with this. The Sect Master and Grand Elders—they'll destroy you!"
A chuckle escaped his lips. "Will they?"
He raised his hand.

[System Command: 100,000 Spy Clones – Execute Inner Sect Sabotage.]

Far within the sect's core, the shadows came alive. His Spy Clones—embedded across the Azure Cloud Sect—struck as one.
Spiritual formations shattered. Poison seeped into medicinal stores. Key disciples collapsed, their cultivation crippled.
Even the Grand Elders—in the middle of their cultivation—felt the icy grip of unseen hands choking their spiritual flow.
The heart of the Azure Cloud Sect… was already rotting from within.

Azure Cloud Sect – Grand Elder's Hall
A thunderous boom shook the mountain as Grand Elder Mo Qing burst from his meditation chamber. His expression twisted with fury as spiritual energy surged around him.
"Who dares violate our sect?!"
Yet the moment he stepped outside, a sea of identical figures greeted him. Thousands of Combat Clones swarmed like locusts—an endless tide consuming everything in their path.
Mo Qing's heart trembled. No matter how many he destroyed, more appeared.
"This… This is impossible!"

Shen Ziyan's Control
Back on the battlefield, Shen Ziyan tilted his head as waves of information from his clones flooded his mind.
The Azure Cloud Sect's defenses were crumbling. Soon, there would be nothing left.
"You should be proud," he said softly, looking down at Lan Yue. "You've lasted longer than most."
But her pride wouldn't save her. Not against him.

[System Command: Clone Fusion – Activate.]

A tremor rippled through the battlefield as thousands of Combat Clones merged into a towering, silver-armored warrior.
The air grew heavy with killing intent. Even Lan Yue's breath hitched—this was no ordinary power.
"Meet the first of my true weapons," Shen Ziyan said. "The Clone Emperor Form."
The colossal clone raised its sword, and with one swing, it shattered the remaining defenses of the inner sect.

A Choice to Survive
Lan Yue gritted her teeth, her mind racing. This man—this monster—wasn't just seeking destruction. He wanted control.
A realization crept over her. If she didn't choose wisely, the Azure Cloud Sect would cease to exist.
"What do you want from me?" she demanded, her voice tight.
Shen Ziyan knelt down, tilting her chin upward. His black eyes burned with absolute dominance.
"Loyalty," he said. "Swear yourself to me, and I'll spare what remains of your sect. Refuse… and I'll bury your entire legacy beneath the ashes."
Lan Yue's heart pounded in her chest. This was no idle threat—he had the power to erase everything.
And yet… a part of her shivered with curiosity.
Who was he? What was this terrifying ability? And how far could he rise?
For the first time, the proud core disciple bowed her head.
"I… swear," she said, the words bitter on her tongue.
A smile tugged at Shen Ziyan's lips.
"Good girl," he whispered.
The Azure Cloud Sect was his.
