When a swordsman questioned the Sword Dao, they naturally used the sword. When questioning the Dao, Dao techniques were used.
Fang Chen’s words left the opponent speechless, but having seen the fate of Ouyang Haoyu, he dared not accept Fang Chen's questioning of the Dao. His face changed from pale to green, not daring to answer.
The Greenwood Sect’s ancestor chuckled. “Are you scared? If you have severed your heart for the Dao, you can roll away.”
The opponent remained motionless.
Severing the heart for the Dao would mean returning all the techniques he learned in the Dao Sect. It would naturally cost him a significant portion of his cultivation. He neither wanted to accept the questioning of the Dao nor sever his heart for the Dao, so he could only look toward some elders of the Great Expansion Dao Gate for help.
The Greenwood Sect’s ancestor glanced at Ouyang Xuanzhen mockingly. “Questioning the Dao is a rule of a Dao Sect. If your sect doesn’t even abide by it, you might as well go ahead and change your name. What kind of Dao Sect are you?”
A member of the Great Expansion Dao Sect with a somber expression shouted at the cultivator, “Don’t disgrace our Dao Sect!”
Seeing that he had nowhere to hide, the cultivator gritted his teeth and let out a roar, intending to use his strongest move to strike first.
Unfortunately for him, the black paper was faster than he was. By the time his spiritual energy began to surge, the black paper figure had already disemboweled him.
All of them were in the Enlightenment Realm, and after being questioned, they had completely perished, leaving no hope for rescue. Although the Enlightenment Realm was merely the first realm of the Middle Three Realms, no faction would consider such cultivators as cannon fodder. They all made up the foundations of a sect. There were hopes that one of them would eventually break through to the Dao Union Realm or even become a Profound Immortal.
Having spent countless resources to nurture these Enlightenment Realm cultivators, their deaths had made even those in the Dao Union Realm restless. They frequently looked toward Ouyang Xuanzhen, hoping he would intervene.
Ouyang Xuanzhen maintained a calm demeanor, but the cold glint that occasionally flashed in his eyes was enough to show how gloomy he felt. If it weren’t for many things holding him back, he would have already acted to subdue this young man.
Wang Zhenlong suddenly laughed. “Haha! Hey! At this rate, won’t my disciple wipe out all your forces?”
Ouyang Xuanzhen glanced at him, then looked at Fang Chen, who was about to question another one of his sect’s disciples.
Ouyang Xuanzhen suddenly let out a cold snort. “Disciples of the Great Expansion Dao Gate, listen up!”
The group of cultivators perked up.
“Return to the mountain!”
With Ouyang Xuanzhen’s command, all the Great Expansion Dao Gate cultivators present immediately flew toward the mountain gate. Their speed was like lightning, and it was clear to anyone with sharp eyes that they were unwilling to give Fang Chen another chance to question them.
However, this also meant that the Great Expansion Dao Gate had lost all face today.
Being questioned by the disciples of the Three Thousand Dao Sects, the only option left was to flee back to their mountain gate. If this news spread, it would likely cause a huge uproar within Dao Sects.
“Seriously? Is the Great Expansion Dao Gate pulling this stunt again?” Cheng Yuhan said incredulously. “Are they really not afraid of losing face? They shrank back when we questioned them with swords, and now they’re shrinking back when Junior Brother Fang questions them on the Dao?”
“If they were afraid of losing face, they wouldn’t spend all their time slandering the Three Thousand Dao Sect,” Jing Xu replied with a smile.
The Void Immortal Sword Sect also had records of ancient events, which included mentions of the Three Thousand Dao Sect. Although the truth could not be verified, one could glean from various clues that at least eighty percent of the claims in the ancient texts had some basis in fact.
“The Great Expansion Dao Gate has run away... surely this one isn’t going to question the Immortal King of the Great Expansion Dao Gate, right? He should be looking for… eh, where have all the Innate Dao Sect cultivators gone!? I just saw them earlier.”
“They must have hidden away at some point…”
“If it were me, I’d hide too. This kind of questioning is no different from giving away free kills…”
At first, the crowd could still see a few Innate Dao Sect cultivators scattered around nearby, but now they couldn’t find a single one.
“Next, he must be looking to cause trouble for the Morning Star Dao Sect.”
Everyone's gaze turned to a certain direction.
Unfortunately, they guessed wrong. After the cultivators of the Great Expansion Dao Gate fled, Fang Chen instead looked toward those who had previously received the inheritance from Elder Yun He but had spoken disrespectfully.
