408: You stripped me naked, and I'm supposed to kowtow to you?

An absurd thought uncontrollably appeared in Li Mo's mind.

If the one who knocked him out, stole his Battle Armor, and stripped his clothes was this Old Ancestor of Azure Profound Sect...

Then when he woke up, seeing Shi Wanshan beside him, also disheveled and fumbling around, was it really as Shi Wanshan said, that he too was a victim?

He had hated the wrong person?!

His relentless pursuit, his Hell-like encounters, the origin of all this, was actually a misunderstanding?!

Not only did he hate the wrong person, but he also willingly delivered himself and his helper to the true culprit's lair, where he was beaten half to death like a sandbag, only to be revived and await further beatings.

His world completely collapsed.

"Pfft—!!!"

This time, rage and anxiety surged, and blood gushed from his mouth like a fountain!

His eyes rolled back, his body twitched violently a few times, then he stiffened abruptly and fell straight backward!

"Junior Brother Li! Quickly!" Ye Guying's expression changed slightly, and he immediately shouted.

Li Muran reacted extremely quickly, having already flashed forward, instantly feeding several life-saving Divine Pills into Li Mo's mouth.

Such a good sandbag might just die of anger.

Meanwhile, Shi Wanshan, who had been petrified since Third Old Ancestor spoke, finally broke free from the unparalleled shock and absurdity.

The blood drained from his face with a 'swoosh,' then instantly surged back in a terrifying flush, and his whole body trembled violently.

All the past grievances, anger, the humiliation of being hunted, the helplessness of being unable to explain himself, and the extreme absurdity of the truth now revealed, erupted in his chest like a volcano!

He suddenly stepped forward, eyes bloodshot, pointing at Li Mo on the ground, then at Third Old Ancestor and Second Ancestor.

His voice, hoarse and trembling from extreme emotional fluctuations, was like the roar of a wounded beast.

"It was you?!"

"Back in the Emperors Tomb, the ones who snatched his Battle Armor, stripped his clothes, and also conveniently knocked me out and stripped me naked, were you two Old Ancestors?!"

When he roared this, the entire scene erupted in an uproar again!

What?! Senior Brother Shi was also stripped naked back then?!

And by his own Old Ancestors?!

The amount of information is too much!

Third Old Ancestor was stunned by Shi Wanshan's roar, then his old face flushed, and he awkwardly coughed.

His gaze drifted, his tone unconsciously lowered a few notches, but he still stubbornly mumbled:

"Ahem, well, the situation was special at the time, got carried away, didn't I?"

At this point, he suddenly slapped his thigh and pointed at Second Ancestor, who had been maintaining a cold, profound demeanor.

"Wanshan, you need to get this straight! It was mainly Second Ancestor who made the move! That blow that knocked you out, he did it!

I, your Old Ancestor, just followed the principle of not wasting anything and conveniently took some things! Only after stripping you did I realize it was you, kid!"

Shi Wanshan's bloodshot gaze instantly fixed on Second Ancestor's face.

Second Ancestor also found it a bit hard to maintain his composure, glancing at Third Old Ancestor and saying:

"Third Old Ancestor, you should tell the whole story. When I realized I had accidentally injured you, I intended to return the items, but Third Old Ancestor stopped me, saying it was to teach you a lesson."

Third Old Ancestor, seeing he couldn't shift the blame, felt a bit guilty.

"Wasn't I, your Old Ancestor, thinking the outside world is treacherous, letting you experience the unpredictability of human hearts, which would be good for you in the future!

Look, aren't you much more vigilant now than before?"

The more he spoke, the more he felt justified, and his voice grew a little louder.

"Besides, I, your Old Ancestor, didn't really do anything to you! Didn't I even leave you a few life-saving treasures?"

The more he spoke, the more he felt he was doing it all for Shi Wanshan's good, and his back straightened a bit.

"Look, aren't you fine! You even benefited from misfortune, your vigilance improved!"

If it were someone else, could they have such good fortune? You should thank me, Old Ancestor."

"I thank your ancestors!!!"

Shi Wanshan completely exploded, his hair standing on end, his eyes spitting fire, pointing at Third Old Ancestor's nose, his voice cracking:

"According to you, after you stripped me naked and took all my belongings, I still have to kowtow to you?!"

"Ahem, that's not necessary..."

Third Old Ancestor flinched from his roar, feeling Shi Wanshan's almost palpable fury.

And the surrounding Disciples, who wanted to laugh but dared not, their eyes filled with 'Old Ancestor, you're really too dishonest,' immediately felt uncomfortable all over.

His gaze drifted, looking left and right, then he suddenly saw Li Mo, who had just been revived by Li Muran on the ground, and Mu Sen on the other side, and immediately found an excuse to escape!

"Well then! Sect matters are important! You all continue! Continue sparring! Treat our two distinguished guests well!"

He let out two dry laughs, rubbing his way out of the crowd as he spoke:

"I suddenly remembered that the batch of Medicinal Pills in the Secret Realm is about to burn! I need to go check! You all carry on! You all carry on!"

Before his words finished, he greased his feet, his figure transforming into a streak of light, and he shot towards the Secret Realm!

That speed was three points faster than when he stole the Saint King Yao Beast cub and ran away back then!

"Old geezer! Stop right there! Give me back my things!"

Shi Wanshan saw him about to run, how could he agree?

The accumulated days of grievance, anger, and embarrassment now all transformed into towering rage and a fierce determination that he wouldn't be Shi if he didn't get an explanation today!

He roared, his entire Protective Aura erupting, like a rampaging Primeval Vicious Beast, he stomped the ground with a thunderous sound and furiously chased after Third Old Ancestor's escape direction!

"That's my storage ring! It's all my worldly possessions! You old scoundrel, don't even think about denying it!!!"

Two streaks of light, one after another, streaked across the sky above Azure Profound Sect like meteors.

The one in front fled desperately, choosing small paths and Formation gaps to dart through, while the one behind, filled with rage, broke mountains and shattered Formations in his way, biting tightly and refusing to let go!

The rumbling sound of breaking air and Shi Wanshan's angry roars echoed throughout the entire Sect.

At this moment, all Azure Profound Sect Disciples, laborers, and even Spirit Beasts, looked up at the sky in stunned silence.

Witnessing this absurd and unparalleled scene, worthy of being recorded in the Sect's annals—

Qingyue Peak Master Shi Wanshan, with bloodshot eyes, was chasing his own Third Old Ancestor across the entire Sect!

And the pursued Third Old Ancestor, while scurrying away with his head in his hands, didn't forget to shout back:

"Hey! You child! Why are you so stubborn! I said it was a misunderstanding! I'll compensate you later! I'll compensate you tenfold!"

"I don't believe a word you say! First, give me back what's mine!"

Watching the two figures instantly disappear into the horizon, and the roars and haggling echoing between heaven and earth, the entire back mountain space fell into a longer, eerie silence.

Then... "Pfft—hahahaha!!!"

Someone, unable to hold back, let out an extremely suppressed burst of laughter.

Immediately after, like a collapsing dam, everyone present could no longer hold back and burst into thunderous laughter!

They laughed, bending over backward, pounding their chests and stamping their feet!

Even Fourth Ancestor's lips twitched violently several times, finally turning into an almost inaudible sigh, and he closed his eyes helplessly, unable to watch.

Second Ancestor shook his head and said, "Let's go, Yanqiu, you all continue."

"This Disciple obeys!"

Ji Yanqiu and the others respectfully responded.

Second Ancestor and Fourth Ancestor said no more, their figures flickered, and they quietly vanished from their original spots.

The moment the three Old Ancestors left one after another, Mu Sen vaguely caught a glimpse of the fleeting, immense Qi dynamic on their bodies.

Saint King!

All Saint Kings!

Moreover, their cultivation Realm was probably not beneath his own!

He had previously held a sliver of hope, believing that Azure Profound Sect had only trapped him by relying on numbers and strange Medicinal Pills.

If he fought with his life, he might have a chance to tear space and escape.

But now, with at least three Saint Kings presiding! Dozens of Saint Elders with terrifying Foundations and seamless cooperation!

This strength was comparable to a Holy Land.

Mu Sen's last sliver of hope and thought of resistance, like a flickering candle in the wind, was completely extinguished at this moment.

He slowly closed his eyes, his face left with only a deathly gray numbness.

Whatever happens, happens.
