Fan Qinghui was extremely agitated.
Apologize? Absolutely not! How could he let Daoist Shouren bully him at the Gu Yue Sect?
“Fellow Daoist, can I apologize on behalf of Junior Brother Fan?” Daoist Tuxing sighed.
Daoist Shouren’s gaze was terrifying at that moment.
“No way! I want him to apologize to me himself and immediately return the spirit stones he owes me, with interest! Otherwise, I won’t let this slide!” Daoist Shouren was extremely firm.
“You must be kidding! You sneak-attacked me and nearly killed me, and you want an apology? You think I’ll give you back your spirit stones? Forget it!”
Fan Qinghui roared in anger.
“Junior Brother Fan, you really should apologize to Daoist Shouren. You were in the wrong this time!”
“Senior Brother, he almost killed me! Look at my wounds; he was aiming to finish me off!”
Fan Qinghui was completely frantic.
“Daoist Shouren, Junior Brother Fan is too agitated right now. Why don’t we all just calm down? Once I talk some sense into him, I’ll make him apologize and return your spirit stones right away.”
Daoist Shouren was practically exploding with rage.
Without his Great Dao to guard him, he didn’t want to take any more bullying.
His Dao was the Dao of No Regrets; it wasn’t about being happy with past actions but ensuring he’d never have to regret future ones.
“I want him to apologize, right this minute!”
“I’ll bring your mother into this!”
Daoist Shouren was taken aback.
He cursed him!
Did he really dare to curse at him?
Lu Ye and Lin Chuyue were also stunned. He actually cursed? Things were about to get even more lively!
Sure enough, after a moment of confusion, Daoist Shouren completely went mad.
“I’ll kill you, you beast!”
He struck again, and the power of Heaven and Earth surged like a boiling tempest, with a huge palm imprint that seemed ready to destroy everything.
Daoist Tuxing felt his head throb.
This was bad!
What kind of situation was this?!
The feud between the two was now bitterly set. On one side was Daoist Shouren, who had once done them favors, and on the other, their own people.
“Daoist Shouren, calm down, please!”
“Calm down? Hell no! I have to kill him today to quell my rage!”
Daoist Shouren bellowed.
Daoist Tuxing was struggling to withstand Daoist Shouren’s attack and hurriedly called for help.
“Fellow Daoist, this is Gu Yue Sect! Junior Brother Fan might be in the wrong, but not to the point of death! Don’t go overboard!”
As the fight escalated, Daoist Tuxing’s patience wore thin.
Yes, Junior Brother Fan was indeed at fault, but he didn’t deserve to die! If Daoist Shouren killed him here, where would Gu Yue Sect put its face?
“Hahaha, I’m the one being unreasonable? I’m the unreasonable one!”
Daoist Shouren couldn’t help but burst into mad laughter.
“You owe me spirit stones and then insult me behind my back. You even have the gall to curse at me! And I’m the unreasonable one?”
“Hahaha…”
Daoist Shouren had officially unlocked secret techniques, boosting his power tremendously.
“Shouren, I will advise you once more: this is the Gu Yue Sect!” Daoist Tuxing’s expression turned icy, dropping all pretense of camaraderie.
“What if it’s the Gu Yue Sect? Today, I’m going to see just how capable the Gu Yue Sect really is!”
Daoist Shouren let out a long howl.
From every direction, gigantic palm imprints swept through the air like a storm, shaking the very void.
“Alright, don’t blame Gu Yue Sect for being heartless. Surround and kill him!”
With a command, the Heaven and Earth realm of Gu Yue Sect, which had been restless, suddenly launched an attack on Daoist Shouren.
A total of nine experts from the Heaven and Earth realm charged forward.
Daoist Shouren was utterly unable to withstand them; his cultivation had already fallen.
“Pfft!”
Daoist Shouren coughed up blood.
“I’ve already said this is Gu Yue Sect! Do you think you’re Lu Ye, fighting an entire sect single-handedly?” Daoist Tuxing chastised.
“Kill him!”
Fan Qinghui roared.
The others, hearing the roar, slowly revealed murderous intent and attacked with even greater vigor.
Since this was the Gu Yue Sect, killing Daoist Shouren would only lead others to regret his demise; no one would come to his rescue.
To kill or not to kill?
Pairs of eyes turned toward Daoist Tuxing, all asking the same question: kill or not?
Kill or not?
As of now, Daoist Shouren had completely fallen out with Gu Yue Sect, leaving no room for reconciliation.
Daoist Shouren seemed like a changed man.
In the past, even when Fan Qinghui gossiped about him behind his back and got caught, others would mediate, and he would forgive them without a second thought.
But now…
If that’s the case…
In the end, Daoist Tuxing hardened his heart.
“Kill!”
With that one word, instantaneously, all the strong cultivators from Gu Yue Sect switched to lethal techniques.
In a split second, Daoist Shouren was overwhelmed.
It was a tragic scene.
He was caught in this catastrophe just because he flip-flopped from being the nice guy.
If it weren’t for Lu Ye being here, Daoist Shouren would have undoubtedly died right then.
“Fellow Daoist, save me!”
Daoist Shouren cried out in agony.
Lu Ye moved.
His figure suddenly appeared in the center of the battlefield, returning to his original appearance.
A radiant circular shield formed instantly, absorbing a massive amount of Heaven and Earth power, nullifying all lethal attacks.
Daoist Tuxing was taken aback—someone was actually helping Daoist Shouren under these circumstances?
Just as he was preparing to unleash an even more powerful strike, he caught sight of a familiar yet foreign face through the dazzling and blurry light.
Familiar, because that face had been deeply imprinted in Daoist Tuxing’s mind.
Foreign, because Daoist Tuxing had barely spoken a few words with him.
“Stop!”
Daoist Tuxing let out a thunderous shout.
His heart was in his throat, overwhelmed by a strong sense of impending doom washing over him.
“Stop! Stop! Everyone, stop!”
A fierce desire to survive and the dread of potential sect devastation drove Daoist Tuxing to roar in panic.
The others quickly halted. Fan Qinghui was still attacking, and Daoist Tuxing’s powerful strike sent him crashing.
Fan Qinghui was stunned.
Everyone was shocked.
“Fellow Daoist, it’s all a misunderstanding! A big misunderstanding! We… we were wrong, please don’t act on it. Everything can be discussed!”
Daoist Tuxing straightened up, urgency flooding his voice.
His attitude caused everyone strong to widen their eyes in disbelief.
Wait, what’s going on?
This was the Gu Yue Sect! Who was this guy that made Daoist Tuxing so humble?
The brilliant light gradually faded away.
Everyone glimpsed the figure standing beside Daoist Shouren, recognizing that face.
Cold sweat broke out in an instant.
It was Lu Ye!
The Infinite Celestial Lord, how could it be Lu Ye?
No wonder Daoist Tuxing became so servile. With Lu Ye present, that was enough to make anyone humble in any sect of the Fourth Heaven!
Because this Lu Ye could truly kill and wipe out sects!
