55: Yue Qingguang is in a state of collapse. You're kidding me!

"Demonic Qi?" Yuan Hong's pupils constricted, and he immediately looked over with a grave expression.

"What does Lord Shen mean by this?"

"Could it be that Yue Qingguang has ties to the Yao Race?"

The crowd at the Martial Temple also looked over with expressions of shock.

"Has Senior Brother noticed something?" Xia Youyue narrowed her eyes in thought.

Beside her, Xiao Qinger frowned, killing intent emerging in her beautiful eyes.

Another piece of trash colluding with the Yao Race!

I should have thought of this earlier; how could anything good come from Xuan Guang Cave, being able to turn a blind eye in Yun Prefecture!

This Sect deserves to be destroyed!

She unconditionally believed in Shen Nian; as long as Senior Brother said so, then it must be true.

In her mind, the Female Yan Emperor did not speak, but instead watched this scene with confusion.

Demonic Qi?

Why did I not notice it?

How strange.

"How dare you humiliate me like this!"

Yue Qingguang's face flushed red, his slit pupils filled with resentment; for the first time in his life, he had suffered such great humiliation, being trampled underfoot in front of everyone.

He could not tolerate this insult!

At this moment, he had already devised ten thousand ways in his heart to slice Shen Nian into a thousand pieces and torture him to death.

The next second.

Crack!

The sound of cheekbones shattering rang out clearly; Yue Qingguang's face twisted instantly, intense pain causing his entire body to tremble, his mouth filling with blood.

At this moment, he finally recognized reality and dared not speak again.

"Three breaths of time; if you don't speak, you die."

That cold voice rang in Yue Qingguang's ear, the scent of death surging into his heart, his pupils filled with terror.

Impossible!

Senior Brother said that even someone at the Spirit Transformation Realm couldn't see through it, so how could he know!

There's no reason for this!

But the intense pain made Yue Qingguang realize that if he didn't speak, he would truly die.

"I fight against the Yao Race all year round; isn't it normal to have some Demonic Qi on me?" Yue Qingguang gritted his teeth, enduring the pain.

This statement actually left Shen Nian stumped.

That seems to make some sense.

However...

Creak.

"One breath." Shen Nian looked up and said indifferently, without looking at him.

The terrifying force increased by a few degrees; Yue Qingguang's face was completely deformed, but he still gritted his teeth, refusing to admit it to the death.

Because he was very clear that if news of him colluding with the Yao Race were to spread.

Not to mention anyone else.

Even his Senior Brother would be the first to slaughter him; revealing the secret meant certain death.

"I don't believe you would truly dare to completely tear off the mask and act; the Three Sects Alliance once had a rule that there cannot be life-or-death struggles between those in the Spirit Transformation Realm!" Yue Qingguang twisted his neck, looking up at the calm-faced young man in white, his tone somewhat threatening.

"Two breaths."

This voice was like a declaration from the Grim Reaper, causing Yue Qingguang to panic completely, and he hurriedly spoke.

"You and I are both of the Human Race; there is no need to take things this far. We will have to fight the Yao together on the battlefield in the future; we are comrades-in-arms!"

"If I and my Disciple have offended you, now that he is already dead and I have been humiliated by you like this, your anger should be dissipated, right..."

"Why must you insist on killing me??"

"Time is up." Shen Nian was expressionless, applying force with his toe.

"Even if you suspect I have ties to the Yao Race, you should report it; are you saying whatever you want?"

"You think you..."

Yue Qingguang's voice came to an abrupt halt, his eyes instantly bloodshot.

Bang!

Yue Qingguang's skull shattered instantly, and a golden figure emanating golden light rushed out; like a frightened bird, it had just tried to flee when it was grasped by a large hand shrouded in silver divine radiance.

That was Shen Nian's Primordial Spirit; he also didn't know why his own was silver.

"I really didn't collude with the Yao Race!!" The Primordial Spirit of Yue Qingguang was completely panicked, roaring; even though he was about to die, he dared not admit to this matter.

Once admitted.

Not only would he not survive, but his Family would also be uprooted.

At this moment, only Shen Nian heard the roar of Yue Qingguang's Primordial Spirit.

Shen Nian did not speak, and just as he was planning to erase the other's Divine Thought, Yue Qingguang completely broke down.

"I'll talk!"

"I'll talk..."

"My Lord, spare my life; I will say everything!!" The Primordial Spirit of Yue Qingguang begged in a panic; he was thoroughly terrified, and now had only one thought.

To live!

"Hmm?" Shen Nian was a bit surprised.

This action made the Primordial Spirit of Yue Qingguang pause, his expression somewhat dazed, and he immediately understood.

"You bluffed me!"

"You were bluffing me!"

He never saw through my true background at all!

Damn it!

F*** you!

Then, Shen Nian didn't waste any more words, directly stunning the opponent's Primordial Spirit, and immediately threw the opponent's Storage Pouch, along with the flute he carried, into his own Storage Pouch.

After doing all this, a trace of surprise appeared on Shen Nian's face.

Unexpectedly, there really was a connection to the Yao Race.

He had just casually made up an excuse; otherwise, in front of so many people, it would be hard to just kill him and seize his treasures.

If that got out, he wouldn't have any reputation left.

After all, Yue Qingguang hadn't done anything other than run his mouth a few times; killing him like this would make Shen Nian seem very ruthless.

Of course, the reason 'I suspect you of colluding with the Yao Race' was sufficient.

But I didn't expect there to be an unexpected bonus.

"Hmm."

"I'll use this reason from now on; it's convenient and can have unexpected bonuses," Shen Nian thought to himself. The reason he hadn't completely killed Yue Qingguang yet was simple.

He planned to get a Divine Ability for soul searching, to directly search him first and see what other secrets there were.

Shen Nian couldn't be bothered to listen to him; how could it be as clear as seeing it for himself? He didn't believe a single word the other said.

It's just that such Cultivation Techniques are extremely rare, belonging to the evil path of Divine Abilities; it depends on whether the Great Xia's Cultivation Method Pavilion has one.

At this moment.

The crowd at the Martial Temple all looked at Shen Nian with expressions of fear.

"Yue... Yue Qingguang.. is dead?"

"A Spirit Transformation Realm expert, died in Great Xia, died at the hands of a Three Sects ally..."

"If this gets out, it's going to be a big deal!!"

"Didn't Lord Shen just say a moment ago that there was Demonic Qi on him? Why not ask clearly? Why just stomp him to death without another word!"

"Ah, this... why does it look wrong to me? Look at how familiar Lord Shen is with looting the corpse, this..."

Even Yuan Hong was rendered silent, the corners of his mouth twitching slightly. He was a shrewd person; how could he not understand that Shen Nian simply wanted to kill and seize treasures?

But there was one thing he didn't understand!

Big Brother, can't you be more low-key about this kind of thing?

You have to do it in front of so many people, and right in front of our Martial Temple!

If a Disciple had died, it would be easier to handle, but a Cave Master at the Spirit Transformation Realm has died; this matter is huge.

If things go wrong.

The next one to come might be the ceiling of Great Xia, Yue Qingguang's Senior Brother.

"Temple Keeper Yuan, Yue Qingguang was discovered colluding with the Yao Race by my Senior Brother and was subsequently executed; why worry?" Xia Youyue said with composure, though her small hands couldn't help but tremble.

Yuan Hong revealed a bitter smile and immediately echoed: "Your Highness the Princess is absolutely right!"

The next second.

Yuan Hong finally reacted, stunned: "Senior Brother?"

When he first heard Xia Youyue's explanation, he hadn't had time to think carefully, as he was already stunned into a blank mind by Shen Nian's actions and strength.

Only now did he realize it.

"Your Highness the Princess has joined the Heavenly Sword Sect???" Yuan Hong showed an expression of disbelief.

If he remembered correctly, in the past, a super power from Eastern Profound had come to take Xia Youyue as a Disciple, and she had rejected them!

That time, countless ministers were heartbroken, causing some who originally supported Xia Youyue to turn to Xia Qiankun's side; even he had been depressed for many days.

If the Princess had joined that power, Great Xia wouldn't be in this state!

Of course, he didn't blame Xia Youyue for anything; after all, no one could make choices for her.

Xia Youyue nodded slightly, not wanting to explain too much, and then added: "Coming to the Dragon Transformation Pool this time is also to request two spots for my Senior Sister and Senior Brother. As for the required merits, I have been killing Yao in the Demon Suppression Division for many years; I think it should be enough. Is that convenient, Temple Keeper Yuan?"

She knew what Yuan Hong was thinking, but she firmly believed her choice was correct.

"Since it is Your Highness the Princess who asks, and you are willing to follow the rules, then naturally there is nothing inconvenient about it," Yuan Hong nodded and smiled.

Just at this moment, a cold laugh rang out.

"Heh, this is also called a rule?"

"Since when did Yuan Hong have a rule that outsiders could enter our Great Xia's Dragon Transformation Pool?"

"If that's the case, why was my close friend's Disciple kept outside by you?"

"What?"

"Do you look down on this King?"

When this voice rang out, Yuan Hong was suddenly taken aback, revealing a strange expression.

Xia Qiankun?

What is he saying?

Running here to seek death at this time?
