Destroy it all, I'm tired, really!
No, that's not right. I was almost led astray by this kid!
Shen Wuji suddenly realized that he was now the Celestial Pole Dao Son of the Tianji Holy Land. If his identity Token were snatched by a small character in the Qi Refining Realm, he shouldn't react so spinelessly.
After realizing this, his murderous intent immediately surged, and he threatened viciously:
"Kid, do you know what you are doing?"
"According to the rules of the Tianji Holy Land, publicly snatching the Dao Son Token is a crime punishable by death. And as for you, Falling Cloud Valley, if you continue to let him act so recklessly, This Daozi will find it hard not to believe that you are in cahoots with him."
"Coupled with the crime of your Sect Head colluding with the Demonic Path, it is enough to make everyone in Falling Cloud Valley die without a burial place!"
Hearing this, many Elders of Falling Cloud Valley in the scene immediately changed their expressions and spoke up to persuade him.
"Dao Son, you have misunderstood. This is merely Qi Da's personal behavior and has nothing to do with our Falling Cloud Valley."
"Martial Nephew Qi, you had better return the Token quickly. If you do this, you will get everyone killed!"
"That's right, hurry up and return it. You simply cannot bear the consequences of doing this..."
...
Amidst the noisy clamor, Yin Qingyuan knew it was time for him to step forward. He walked straight to in front of Qi Yuan and said coldly:
"I said long ago that this child is a black sheep. Look, he has caused a huge disaster this time, hasn't he?"
"Qi Da, if you still consider yourself a Disciple of Falling Cloud Valley, immediately return the Token to the Celestial Pole Dao Son, kowtow to apologize to the Celestial Pole Dao Son, and let him deal with you."
"Otherwise, for the sake of the Sect's survival, This Elder will have to clean up the Sect!"
After saying this, Yin Qingyuan bowed deeply to the Array Spirit nearby and said in a respectful tone:
"Senior Array Spirit, this Junior is Yin Qingyuan, an Elder of the Entering Dao Hall."
"Now the Sect is in imminent danger. If there is any mistake, not only will the lives of the three thousand Disciples in the valley be lost, but the foundation laid down by the Grandmaster will also be destroyed in one fell swoop. I ask you, Senior, to hand Qi Da over to us for disposal."
"If we can overcome this difficulty, our Falling Cloud Valley is willing to honor you as our superior in the future, offering sacrifices for generations, and will never disobey!"
These words sounded reasonable and extremely sincere, immediately winning the approval and resonance of some Falling Cloud Valley Cultivators.
"Elder Yin is still the most thoughtful. Now is a time of turmoil, and we need a steady person like Elder Yin to stand up and preside over the overall situation."
"That's right, this Disciple is bold and reckless, acting willfully. Keeping him will sooner or later be a disaster, he must be severely punished..."
"You... you are simply too much!"
Before Qi Yuan could speak, Bai Xirou, who was standing beside him, stepped forward, her beautiful eyes filled with anger as she rebuked them, "My father is still unconscious, yet you only know how to fear the so-called Celestial Pole Dao Son. Not only do you fail to be of any use, but you turn around and make things difficult for Junior Brother Qi, who is trying to help."
"Whoever wants to punish Junior Brother Qi, ask the Cold Moon Sword in my hand first!"
While speaking, she flipped her slender hand, and a short sword emitting a faint blue light appeared in her palm, protectively standing in front of Qi Yuan without hesitation.
Over there, Pu Genshuo also climbed up from the ground. He just patted the dust off his body as if nothing had happened, then walked to Qi Yuan's side, and mocked in a sarcastic tone:
"A bunch of big idiots, you've cultivated the Dao until your brains are fried."
"Big brother, there's no point in staying in this Falling Cloud Valley. Come back to the Tianji Holy Land with me, and I'll arrange a position as a true Disciple for you regardless."
This foul-mouthed remark immediately aroused the indignation of everyone, and they all started cursing.
"Bastard! Who are you talking about?"
"You're the big idiot!"
"You dare to be so arrogant on our turf, are you tired of living?"
...
"Shut up!"
Seeing that the situation was about to spiral out of control, the Array Spirit, which had been silent all along, suddenly spoke up to stop everyone.
In an instant, the scene went quiet, and everyone obediently shut their mouths.
Even Pu Genshuo, who had just been kicked by it, obediently stopped making a sound.
Currently, within the range of Falling Cloud Valley, an Array Spirit at the Middle Stage of the Soul Transformation Realm represents invincibility!
In the silence, the Array Spirit sighed lightly, its tone of voice quite helpless:
"This old one is truly unlucky. I just came out and encountered this whole pile of trouble. If I had known, I would have been better off hiding in the Immortal Cave, peaceful and carefree."
Then, it turned its gaze to Qi Yuan and said word by word:
"You little rascal certainly wouldn't do something that leads to your own death. Since that's the case, if you dare to do this, there must be a reason."
"Now, this mess is handed over to you. You handle it yourself. This old one just wants it to be destroyed quickly now. I'm tired, really!"
Once these words were spoken, the whole scene fell into a stupor once again. Everyone looked at Qi Yuan in disbelief, almost suspecting that they were hallucinating.
Holy crap!
This... how is it a bit different from the script that was expected before!
Shouldn't Qi Da have repented under the condemnation of thousands, been forced to kneel and beg for mercy, and returned the Token with both hands?
Why did the situation suddenly reverse, and someone transformed from the status of a contestant into a referee...
What's even more terrifying is that this referee also has the backing of the Sect's strongest Array Spirit.
Then what the hell are we people applying pressure for? Isn't this just looking for abuse!
At the same time, the smile that had just appeared on Shen Wuji's face froze, and he felt a burst of indignation in his heart.
Damn Array Spirit!
Is Qi Da your father? Why do you trust him so much?
Hearing the Array Spirit's words, Qi Yuan was stunned for a moment, then touched his nose a bit embarrassedly and said, "Thank you for your trust, Senior."
"Actually, verifying the authenticity doesn't need to be so troublesome, running all the way to the Tianji Holy Land. Wouldn't it be fine just to find a Tianji Holy Land Disciple to come over and take a look?"
As he said this, he took out a head with a ferocious expression from his Storage Pouch and displayed it in front of everyone.
What... is this situation?
Many people widened their eyes, staring at the bloody head in confusion, not understanding what Qi Yuan's action meant.
"How is it possible?! This is actually the head of the Old Ancestor of the Wang Family from Puzhou City!"
Yin Qingyuan was the first to recognize the identity of the head and couldn't help but exclaim. His eyes were full of disbelief as he looked at Qi Yuan, as if he had seen a ghost.
"Wang Family Ancestor Wang Tiande is a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, how could his head be in your hands?!"
Hearing this, the others realized what this head meant, and everyone was shocked beyond measure.
Are you crazy!!!
A Junior in the Qi Refining Realm actually took out the head of a Golden Core Realm Cultivator in public. This strange and bizarre scene completely refreshed everyone's perception!
Qi Yuan chuckled, raised his hand and threw the head on the ground, his expression calm and composed.
"Not long ago, I accepted a Sect mission at the Merit Assessment Pavilion, asking me to go to Puzhou City to investigate the disappearance of Cultivators in the city."
"After receiving the mission, I set off for Puzhou City. Who knew that before I had investigated for long, I discovered that this case had already been solved by two passing Holy Land Disciples."
"It turned out that the Wang Family Ancestor Wang Tiande was privately practicing evil arts to increase his Lifespan, and those missing Cultivators were all secretly abducted by the Wang Family. Their flesh and blood essence all became nutrients for Wang Tiande to continue his life."
"Therefore, after the incident, the Wang Family was uprooted by the justice-upholding Holy Land Disciples, and the main culprit, Wang Tiande, was also killed on the spot."
"I have always been a likable person, so I got along well with those two Holy Land Disciples. After they knew I was doing this mission, they gave me the head of the Wang Family Ancestor as proof of completing the mission."
Hearing this, everyone in the hall suddenly realized, as if they were relieved of a heavy burden.
That makes sense!
If this guy said he chopped off this head himself, that would be a fantasy, and no one would believe it if he said it out loud.
But seeing Qi Yuan smile slightly, he took out a communication talisman from his Storage Pouch and continued:
"Of course, these are not the point. The point is that those two Holy Land Disciples are currently in Puzhou City. For a Golden Core Late Stage Cultivator, it takes less than an hour to fly from Puzhou City to Falling Cloud Valley."
"As long as we find them and verify it, wouldn't the truth be revealed immediately?"
A Golden Core Late Stage Tianji Holy Land Disciple?
Shen Wuji's face changed drastically, a chill rose from the soles of his feet and rushed straight to his crown.
This level of cultivation is at least at the level of an inner Sect elite Disciple in the Tianji Holy Land. It is impossible for them not to know what their own Dao Son looks like. If they really come, he will probably be in danger!
At this moment, everyone was immersed in this seemingly reasonable story, and naturally assumed that the Holy Land Disciples mentioned by Qi Yuan were Disciples under the Tianji Holy Land...
