As for this so-called Infinite Dao Emperor Sect, it is merely a spectral shadow in the sky, not its true form arriving in person.
Shen Yi would only be interested in dealing with this matter if he could do it cleanly and without leaving any troubles behind, like being sure to bury the Cultivator on the spot. Otherwise, he had no interest in inviting unnecessary trouble over a moment of anger.
All he wanted was to take what belonged to him, nothing more.
With this thought, Shen Yi turned into a purple and white long rainbow, streaking towards the horizon.
Witnessing this scene.
Wei Yuanzhou firmly pressed his lips together, his hands hidden in his sleeves suddenly clenched as if to crush his own knuckles, a murderous intent emerging in his eyes.
This expression did not fit with his title of Celestial Immortal Liuyun, known for his equanimity.
He was the most rule-abiding among the Southern Hong Daozi and also bore the responsibility of controlling the situation.
But the Sect Master’s authority was not to be violated... and this was also one of the rules that Wei Yuanzhou strictly observed.
Moreover, this was no longer a simple affront, but a direct threat to life! A threat to the Sect Master of the South Hong Seven Sons!
"Have you all gone mad?"
Bai Wu, seeing Wei Yuanzhou’s glance towards him, knew full well what the other was implying.
He was being asked to consult his master.
It was one thing for Su Hongxiu with her fiery temper, but why was Wei Yuanzhou fueling the situation, treating the South Hong Seven Sons as if they still commanded the vast force under the Nanyang Sect of old.
Ten thousand years have passed! The heavens have long since changed!
Usually the one to fan the flames, Bai Wu now played the role of a mediator. He sent a message, "Sect Master Shen has handled the matters perfectly; don’t you all start causing trouble! Otherwise, don’t blame this Daozi for reporting back to the Sect to have you all locked up!"
Just then, he heard a soft sigh.
"Has it really been handled well?"
Su Hongxiu touched her forehead with her fingertip.
Then another city appeared in the sky, named "Shang Huang."
Among the nearly twenty Baiyu Capital Cultivators present, there were only a few who could conjure such a city.
The reason Su Hongxiu suddenly constructed the city was simple.
From within the Immeasurable Dao Imperial Palace, a halo of light suddenly surged out. The blurry figure slightly raised its palms, and the halo merged into the chains that had been cast earlier.
The figure in the River and Mountains Scroll turned into him personally manipulating the Dao Soldier.
The chains erupted with a violent buzzing, radiant light dyeing the heavens, and the other end firmly bound to the purple and white long rainbow above.
In the span of a breath, the purple and white dissipated.
The tall figure in profound armor stood with his back to the crowd, looking down at his lifted right arm, tightly wrapped by the chains.
His deep eyes were as placid as an ancient well, revealing no emotion.
"Did I say you could leave?"
The blurry figure in the sky raised its palms, as the voice gradually echoed across the heavens, with strands of cruelty.
Yan Chongzhang’s complexion instantly became unspeakably ugly.
He had never imagined that Shen Yi would leave so calmly. Everyone has moments of youthful pride, and he had been no exception. Coupled with Shen Yi’s astonishing actions, one might think him arrogant. But observing him along the way, the other seemed to be a reticent Cultivator earnest about his work.
Besides hoping Shen Yi could unlock the secrets of the Nameless Mountain treasure, Yan Chongzhang had grown increasingly appreciative of the young man’s character and handling of affairs.
But what he hadn’t anticipated was that the people from the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect would have such a petty temperament.
The Demon had been slain solo by Shen Yi, without assistance from anyone else.
Demands from the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect were rebutted, first with harsh words—an already unbecoming act for a grand sect—and without any retort from Shen Yi, they now intended to forcefully detain him!
Were they a renowned and orthodox Sect, or a cult of Demon Cultivators?
All of a sudden, Yan Chongzhang shouted: "Would you see if this Ghost Python young master meets your Sect’s requirements?"
He had no right to offend the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect on behalf of the Ban Shan Sect, but he had the courage to exert his modest efforts to mediate the situation.
Hisss. Yang Yunheng felt a twinge in his heart, never having anticipated that in the face of Shen Yi offending both the Glazed Green Phoenix Clan and the Infinite Dao Emperor Sect, their Daozi would dare to intervene in the matter.
But after a moment’s hesitation, the Great Elder sighed and remained silent, not saying anything more.
"If you find it satisfactory, then please accept it," said Yan Chongzhang, giving Wei Yuanzhou a meaningful glance. He then withdrew his gaze and continued to stare at the vague figure in the Immeasurable Dao Imperial Palace without mentioning anything about a reward.
The Ban Shan Sect was willing to do the job without compensation, which was also giving face and a way out to the Great Cultivator of Northern Hong.
Upon hearing this, the blurry figure slowly turned its gaze, silent for a long time.
Suddenly, a mouth appeared on the shadowy face, the corners of the lips coldly curling up in a mocking smile: "You think you have the right to give me a way out? Look at what you’ve brought. It’s barely worth looking at."
The Ghost Python young master might be quite good, but compared to the Glazed Green Phoenix, it was far inferior.
Before the words had settled, a small green sword suddenly emerged from the River and Mountains Scroll.
The situation was exactly the same as previously inside the Ban Shan Sect.
The small sword transformed into a silent streak of light, heading straight for the utterly terrified Ghost Python young master!
The Glazed Green Phoenix Sword ranked within the top seventy of the Daoist Soldier Record—a Hongmeng Heavenly Soldier!
Just then, a streak of dark gold light shot through the air, arriving suddenly ahead of the other, the two lights colliding with a thunderous crash.
The rich aura of the Dao Soldier suddenly burst forth, even making the surrounding sky distort and warp!
