"Eh?"

Yun Xuanxuan raised her head blankly, her clear eyes staring dazed at the Man in White Robes before her.

Even the four Half-Demons nearby were no exception, each frozen in place with shock written all over their faces, as if they couldn't believe what they had just heard.

Seeing this, Ye Hao stepped forward with a smile and said, "Junior Sister, there's no need to be surprised. Once you return to the Sect to cultivate in the future, you will naturally understand what kind of place our Dao Seeking Sect truly is."

Li Pingan also quickly chimed in, his tone simple and sincere: "Revered Master is a good person!"

Chen Xuan: "..."

Why did these words sound a bit awkward?

It was fortunate that it came from an honest boy like Pingan. If it had been a female Cultivator or a Fairy with peerless grace like Qi Yue, he would probably have the illusion of being given a 'good person card'.

Chen Xuan coughed lightly, his indifferent gaze sweeping over the four Half-Demons. "Once this matter is settled, you shall return to the Flame Continent with us. As long as you behave yourselves and do nothing to betray the Sect, my Dao Seeking Sect will protect you and never allow anyone to bully you in the slightest."

The four Half-Demons quickly exchanged glances, their eyes filled with excitement and gratitude. They hastily stood at attention and gave Chen Xuan a deep bow, speaking in unison:

"Thank you, Immortal Revered Master!"

"Thank you, Immortal Revered Master!"

Ding~

[Received devout worship from seventeen people, gained 40 sect prestige points]

Hearing this, Chen Xuan thought for a moment and added, "In the future, if you encounter others with such pitiful backgrounds and nowhere to turn, my Dao Seeking Sect can protect them as well."

After speaking, he turned to look at Yun Xuanxuan and smiled warmly. "Now, can you finally accept your Revered Master's gift with peace of mind?"

A crimson blush instantly bloomed on Yun Xuanxuan's cheeks. She nodded shyly and then carefully took the Heaven Rank Cultivation Technique and the sea calming pearls into her hands, still appearing somewhat cautious.

Seeing that the matter was settled, Chen Xuan cast his gaze toward the distance in the direction of the Chusheng Sect's Main Hall. He raised his hand slightly, and a pitch-black longsword suddenly appeared in his grasp. Although his storage ring held no shortage of top-tier Magic Treasures, he was still accustomed to using this longsword that Mu Wanqing had gifted him out of filial piety; it felt comfortable and handy.

"Revered Master, you are going to...?"

Ye Hao looked at his Revered Master's calm profile and couldn't help but ask.

Chen Xuan's gaze swept toward the distant Chusheng Sect Main Hall, his tone indifferent: "Since they bullied your Junior Sister so, your Revered Master must naturally seek justice for her."

Chen Xuan said calmly: "Since they bullied your Junior Sister so, your Revered Master must naturally seek justice for her."

Although the Void Refining Realm experience card he had used earlier had expired, Chen Xuan originally possessed the profound cultivation of the Soul Transformation Peak. Coupled with the many God-Tier Divine Abilities he had mastered, he had the strength to fight even against a fourth-layer Void Refining Cultivator.

Upon hearing this, before Yun Xuanxuan could fully process the deeper meaning, she saw her white-robed Revered Master's figure flicker and vanish from the spot, leaving only a faint afterimage of Spiritual Qi as if he had never been there.

The next moment!

A streak of Sword Qi, brilliant to the extreme, suddenly rose from the ground. Like the Heavenly River hanging upside down, it shot furiously toward the direction of the Chusheng Sect!

The Sword Qi sliced through the sky, letting out a piercing shriek that seemed to make the entire world tremble.

Dozens of miles away within the Chusheng Sect, that towering Sect Main Hall—the symbol of the Sect's authority—collapsed like paper the moment the Sword Qi touched it! Bricks and stones flew, wood splinters scattered, and the majestic aftershocks of the Sword Qi swept in all directions, leveling the surrounding pavilions and towers. Billowing dust shot straight into the clouds, clearly visible even from a great distance.

Yun Xuanxuan's eyes widened. She stared blankly at the direction where the Sword Qi dissipated, her eyes instantly turning red as hot tears welled up.

Since her parents passed away, she had been alone and subjected to all kinds of bullying. She had long forgotten what it felt like to have someone back her up and vent her anger for her. At this moment, looking at the ruins of the Chusheng Sect's Main Hall, the grievances and resentment accumulated in her heart for so long vanished instantly, replaced by a sense of warmth and being moved.

The several Half-Demons nearby were even more shaken. Looking at the dust-filled sky, their faces were full of disbelief.

They had originally thought that being able to ruin the Chusheng Sect's plot and save their own lives was already a stroke of immense luck. They were already full of joy, but they never expected to witness such an earth-shattering scene with their own eyes.

The only regret was that the other six Half-Demons had already died and couldn't see this heart-warming scene, nor witness the Chusheng Sect that oppressed them pay the price.

Ye Hao stood to the side, looking at the astonishing Aura left by that Sword Qi. His eyes flickered with a burning light as he muttered to himself:

"I wonder when I, your Disciple, will be able to have such grace as Revered Master."

He clenched his fists, silently making up his mind that after returning to the inn, he would immediately begin secluded cultivation and must increase his cultivation as quickly as possible.

If he had strength like his Revered Master's, whether it was that True Person Yunche of the Demon Suppressing Tower or this evil Chusheng Sect, he could sweep away all injustice with a single sword strike.

On the other side, Chen Xuan stood above the ruins of the Chusheng Sect's Main Hall, his gaze indifferent as he watched the panicked Chusheng Sect Disciples fleeing in all directions. He stood quietly for a moment. Seeing that no enthusiastic Fellow Daoists came forward to donate Magic Treasures, his figure moved, and he instantly sped away, leaving behind a mess of the Chusheng Sect... on a cliff in the distance.

True Person Zhenyue picked up his wine flask, tilted his head back, and took a large gulp. Looking in the direction of the Dao Seeking Sect group, he muttered in confusion:

"Strange, truly strange."

Earlier, he had clearly seen strange changes in the sky and chaotic Spiritual Qi in the direction of the Chusheng Sect's back mountain, so he guessed that the demon transformation pill should have been successfully refined by the Old Ancestor. He thought he would next see the scene of True Person Tianxuan successfully transforming into a demon and greatly increasing his strength, but he never expected that what he eventually waited for would be this.

The Chusheng Sect, one of the three major Sects of the Rain God Continent, had its Sect Main Hall leveled by a single sword strike today, losing all face.

True Person Zhenyue was truly curious about who exactly had such ability.

Moreover, the Chusheng Sect Ancestor had clearly returned to the Sect earlier. Why would he still allow the other party to act so recklessly?

Or could it be that the Old Ancestor had already died under this person's sword!

Gently shaking the wine flask in his hand and finding that not a single drop of wine remained, True Person Zhenyue casually tossed the empty flask aside. He then took out a new flask of wine from his storage ring out of thin air and pulled out the stopper; a rich wine aroma instantly filled the air.

The Divine Ability of that previous sword strike was too profound and too swift. Even he failed to see the mysteries within, only feeling that the power was earth-shattering and awe-inspiring.

"If I could have the honor of meeting this Fellow Daoist, I would certainly treat you to a flask of fine wine!"

After speaking, True Person Zhenyue laughed loudly a few times, then stumbled away like a drunkard, his figure gradually disappearing at the end of the cliff.
