473: Fleeing in panic

The Immortal Law Realm expert from another domain saw this scene of collusion and laughed; he was laughing out of anger.

Look at this scene; anyone who didn't know better would think he had done something wrong.

This Immortal Law Realm expert's body trembled with rage, and he glared fiercely at Chen De with eyes full of fury.

He then turned his gaze toward the group of Zhengyuan Sect disciples who had been spouting nonsense.

The voices of those disciples faltered, fading away like a receding wave.

The mere pressure of a dignified Immortal Law Realm expert was enough to make them uncomfortable just by being stared at.

"Good, good, you are all very good."

An incomparably massive pressure suddenly enveloped the entire field, and the air seemed to instantly solidify.

It pressed down on those disciples, but it was steadily blocked by Chen De, having absolutely no effect.

After releasing his majesty, the Immortal Law Realm expert from the other domain did not make any unnecessary moves, but instead said viciously:

"I, Mo Li, have remembered today's events, and the Qingtian Sect of Kongming Domain has remembered them as well. We will surely return this favor in the future!"

Having said that, Mo Li did not look back and quickly sped away in a certain direction.

Being on someone else's turf, and as a sect master himself, rushing in to fight would only be self-inflicted humiliation.

If he lost, not only would it be embarrassing, but if he got himself killed, that would be a huge loss.

Originally, he didn't think the number one sect in Xichen Domain would stoop to such things.

But now, no one would dare to think that way anymore.

As long as the green hills remain, there is no need to worry about firewood. It wouldn't be too late to return to his sect and borrow its power to take revenge.

Few experts in the Immortal Law Realm would act purely on impulse anymore.

Even though the Tang Xin who died was his disciple, his... biological son!

Why was he so good to Tang Xin? This had already far exceeded the normal bond between master and disciple.

The reason was that he had made a mistake on a stormy night countless years ago...

As his only offspring, Mo Li naturally cared for him immensely.

However, the rationality of an Immortal Law Realm expert allowed him to suppress all disadvantageous emotions.

The current situation was that if he dared to act up here, he would definitely not have a good ending.

Furthermore, this matter was their fault to begin with, and on the opponent's home turf, they definitely had no moral standing.

Even if they played word games now, and even if clear-eyed people could see through it, for the local forces, it went without saying who the moral high ground would support.

Therefore, leaving quietly to wait for a future opportunity was clearly a very good choice.

Watching Mo Li's departing back, Chen De's gaze was deep, as if he were pondering something.

The goodwill in his eyes gathered and dispersed intermittently...

After Mo Li left, the disciples behind Chen De suddenly became quiet.

Including those elders, without exception, they all remained silent, their faces wearing a fixed, eerie smile.

Indeed, all of this was Chen De's doing.

When he first appeared, he had casually used the method of spiritual Influence to Influence all non-immortal existences on the entire Zhengyuan Continent.

As an existence comparable to the Immortal Law Realm, and even approaching the peak of the Immortal Law Realm First Transformation, doing this was naturally incomparably easy.

These disciples and elders were all Influenced by Chen De before they could even react.

This, in fact, didn't prove much; Chen De's spiritual Influence was never forced, but rather it fundamentally awakened a person's true goodness and beauty.

The reason they could be Influenced by Chen De was, in the final analysis, because they had justice in their hearts and yearned for the Supreme Holy Mother.

All Chen De did was to develop this attribute within them.

As for why, it was because Chen De was about to lead them to great use.

To benefit the common people!

From the moment he arrived here, Chen De discovered that the Xichen Domain was too chaotic, and there were too many factions here.

Such a situation was not conducive to unity!

The entire Xichen Domain only needed one voice, and that was the voice of their Holy Mother Sect.

Only the Holy Mother Sect could speak for the common people and on behalf of the common people.

All others were fake sects, hypocrites, and fake justice.

Even the Zhengyuan Sect, which he currently ruled, had only just been brought onto the right path by Chen De.

Chen De naturally could not let others notice the abnormality of these elders and disciples.

For now, the one to guard against the most was the Grand Elder of the Zhengyuan Sect.

Therefore, Chen De had the elders and disciples return to normal; they should eat, drink, cheer, and celebrate as they normally would.

He himself pondered in his heart how he could take down the Grand Elder.

Disguise himself as someone closest to him and poison him?

Not appropriate!

Such a person was cautious and careful; it was highly probable that he wouldn't eat or drink anything, and acting rashly would only alert the enemy and result in a loss.

Moreover, Chen De didn't know where to get poison that would work on an Immortal Law Realm Second Transformation expert.

Perhaps in the sect treasury, but Chen De knew that the Grand Elder would naturally know too, and he wouldn't necessarily fall for it.

Then, kidnap someone the Grand Elder valued most and coerce him?

Chen De shook his head; this trick probably wouldn't work either.

In Yuan Chen's memories, he had never heard of anyone the Grand Elder valued.

Even if there were, just look at the Night Lord from before; not everyone was as good to their own relatives and juniors as Positive Separation was.

Then, he wondered if using profit as an inducement would work.

What did he have that the Grand Elder would value?

Thinking back and forth, Chen De suddenly thought of a good bait.

It was very simple: it was the yin extreme origin source he had absorbed not long ago.

Chen De had some very powerful functions, one of which was simulation—simulating everything he had devoured.

The matter of the yin extreme origin source—not seeing the Grand Elder didn't mean he hadn't made a move.

On the contrary, it was very likely that the Grand Elder had a hand behind the Grand Elder Third.

Moreover, there was probably another reason why he hadn't acted: the amount of the yin extreme origin source was too small.

With a law like Chen De's, it could increase from two percent to six percent.

But if used for the Grand Elder, this amount probably wouldn't even increase it by one percent.

Rhyme of Law is different from Law; every ten percent is a huge step.

Not only in terms of power, but even more so in terms of the difficulty of comprehension.

So, if there really was something that could significantly improve his comprehension of the Rhyme of Law...

He wouldn't need much; even one percent, or even half a percent, he would probably be unable to resist acting.

After some thought, Chen De quickly made a decision: he would use the yin extreme origin source to lure and trap the Grand Elder.

If possible, pulling him into the Holy Mother's camp would also be a meritorious deed.

Right, there was also the Supreme Second Elder and the Grand Elder Third; all of them could be dragged into the water.

However, it was best to take them one by one. Chen De thought for a moment; perhaps he could deal with the weakest one, the Grand Elder Third, first.

Moreover, because his current status relationship with Chen De was the closest, he was also the easiest to deal with.

Then, the two of them could join forces to deal with the Supreme Second Elder, which would then be easy.

Finally, by uniting the power of the Three Immortals, he could scheme to either eliminate the Grand Elder or Influence the Grand Elder.
