129: I am the eldest son of the Jun family, Jun Aozhi!

Offense and defense, swapped!

Hearing these familiar words, Ditian was momentarily speechless.

He wanted to get angry, but he saw the Elders of Supreme Sacred Ground surrounding him from behind.

Gu Liangyuan was in the very center, with people from Taiyi Holy Land encircling Gu Liangyuan.

And then, people from Supreme Sacred Ground formed a larger encirclement, surrounding the people from Taiyi Holy Land.

Not far away, the people from Yaochi were also watching with covetous eyes.

The atmosphere in the main hall suddenly became tense.

It was deathly quiet, so quiet you could hear a pin drop.

Only Ditian's heavy breathing echoed through the hall.

Thinking about Vehicle Lord's instructions from a few days ago, Ditian clenched his fists.

First, his son died, and now his personal Disciple has died.

It was one thing that there was no evidence when his son died, but his Disciple died directly in front of him.

Could it be that he had to let this go just like that?

However, even if he were to act now, in the home territory of Supreme Sacred Ground, he probably wouldn't gain any advantage.

Looking at Gu Liangyuan, who was making an inviting gesture, Ditian snorted coldly: "Gu Liangyuan, what is the meaning of this?"

Gu Liangyuan raised an eyebrow slightly: "What do I mean?"

"I am respecting your opinion."

"Didn't you say to trust the fairness of the Chief Elder?"

"Why are you still standing? Sit."

Ditian gave Gu Liangyuan a deep look, but did not respond.

He just turned around and focused his attention downwards.

He could suppress the urge to attack, but he couldn't drink tea with Gu Liangyuan after his Disciple had died.

Gu Liangyuan waved his hand, and a small handful of Enlightenment Tea Leaves appeared in his palm.

He greeted Lü Qingmei and the others: "Since Fellow Daoist Ditian doesn't want to drink, then let us drink."

As soon as the Enlightenment Tea Leaves appeared, the entire hall was enveloped by a faint Daoist aura.

Everyone looked at the tea leaves in Gu Liangyuan's hand, which were no less than fifty grams.

Enlightenment Tea Leaves!

The legendary miraculous tea that could heal Dao injuries!

Aside from the people from the major Holy Lands, for most Sect Elders, this was their first time seeing these Enlightenment Tea Leaves.

Even Ditian turned his head back.

He hadn't drunk this Enlightenment Tea many times either.

Every time he drank it, he would have some kind of Breakthrough, whether big or small.

At this moment, he was at the Lianxu Peak stage; perhaps with the aid of this Enlightenment Tea, he might even be able to touch the Body Integration realm.

You said drink tea, but you didn't say drink Enlightenment Tea!

Gu Liangyuan took out a lidded bowl, drew some spiritual water, and performed the actions of shaking, brewing, and pouring in one smooth motion.

With a wave of his hand, six small teacups filled with Enlightenment Tea water landed in front of the other six Peak Lords.

Lü Qingmei looked at Ditian, then at Gu Liangyuan with his mischievous smile, and raised her teacup to take a light sip.

Upon drinking it, her mind became clear.

She exclaimed with emotion: "I didn't expect Junior Martial Uncle to have such a good thing. No wonder Li Daoyou was lured away by you."

Master Wan Yan drank it all in one gulp, feeling a profound sensation surge through his heart. Any previously unresolved issues in the Dao of alchemy suddenly became clear at this moment!

Closing his eyes to savor the aftertaste, he spoke to Ditian:

"Good stuff, truly good stuff."

"It's a pity Fellow Daoist Ditian doesn't like to drink it, otherwise, with a cup like this, Body Integration might even be within reach."

Ditian looked at Master Wan Yan, his anger intensifying, wanting to grind his teeth to dust!

Do I not like to drink it!?

Ditian forcibly averted his gaze from the Enlightenment Tea, continuing to look down, adopting an "Invisible" approach.

This Gu Liangyuan is too infuriating!

Just wait!

When Fu Long Court begins, everything of yours will be mine!

Zhao Chi, hidden in the shadows, observed all of this, his heart burning with desire.

These Enlightenment Tea Leaves, even in the Gathering Treasure Pavilion, were usually sold by the piece.

Yet Gu Liangyuan could directly take out fifty grams to brew tea, which fully demonstrated his deep financial resources.

Good, good, good, it wasn't in vain that I plotted this!

Below, just after Jun Ao Zhi killed Li Yi, the Chief Elder only belatedly reacted.

There were sixteen Chief Elders in total, consisting of one person from each of the six top major powers in Eastern Continent and one person from each of ten randomly selected minor powers.

The purpose of doing this was to ensure fairness to the greatest extent possible.

The Chief Elders from the ten minor powers each guarded a combat stage, while the Elders from the six major powers were stationed in the rear, appearing when unexpected situations arose.

They had appeared when Qianqiu and the others drew their lots.

The Elder from Supreme Sacred Ground and the Elder from Taiyi Holy Land were the first to react.

The two acted almost simultaneously: one was to attack Jun Ao Zhi, and the other was to protect Jun Ao Zhi!

The Elder from Supreme Sacred Ground was at the Void Refining Middle Stage, while the Elder from Taiyi Holy Land was at the Void Refining Early Stage.

Logically speaking, the Elder from Supreme Sacred Ground should have been faster.

But at the critical moment, a Golden Crow phantom suddenly manifested behind the Elder from Taiyi Holy Land, and then he transformed into a long rainbow, instantly increasing his speed and arriving in front of Jun Ao Zhi one step ahead.

The technique this person used was precisely Taiyi Holy Land's Great Divine Power, Golden Crow Transformation!

Seeing that the newcomer meant ill, Jun Ao Zhi suddenly let out a sinister laugh!

He slapped his Storage Pouch, and an ancient beast-skin talisman hovered before him.

Although the runes were not contemporary characters, by half-guessing and half-observing, one could vaguely make out the character "Jun."

As soon as this talisman appeared, the situation in the heavens and earth changed abruptly!

In an instant, winds surged and clouds gathered, with lightning flashing and thunder rumbling!

With this talisman as the center, the surrounding space continuously tore and reassembled, as if unable to bear the pressure of this talisman!

Wails of sorrow rang out from the sky, like ghosts crying and wolves howling!

Feeling this powerful pressure, the Taiyi Chief Elder instinctively stopped in his tracks.

The Supreme Chief Elder seized this opportunity to catch up and shielded Jun Ao Zhi.

Affected by this pressure, the Disciples on the stage also couldn't compete and all looked over here.

Looking around, the Supreme Chief Elder immediately declared in a clear voice:

"Jun Ao Zhi was pressured by Li Yi, and thus lashed out in anger."

"Although there was a reason, it ultimately violated the original intention of a peaceful competition."

"This Elder announces the cancellation of Jun Ao Zhi's competition qualification, effective immediately!"

The Chief Elder's words seemed fair, but anyone with a bit of intelligence could see that this was blatant favoritism.

Canceling his competition qualification was not a punishment at all!

"I disagree!"

No sooner had the Supreme Chief Elder finished speaking than Jun Ao Zhi and the Taiyi Chief Elder spoke in unison.

The Supreme Chief Elder could understand why the Taiyi Chief Elder disagreed, but Jun Ao Zhi's "I disagree" left him a bit confused.

Only the Taiyi Chief Elder was heard to say:

"Li Yi spoke to persuade him out of maintaining the fairness of the Grand Competition."

"But this Jun Ao Zhi, with his Devilish Qi, directly went for the kill over a mere verbal dispute. What is the difference between such a Disciple and a demon!"

"He should be executed on the spot as a warning to others!"

Before the Supreme Chief Elder could reply, Jun Ao Zhi, clutching the ancient beast-skin talisman, walked step by step to the front of the Supreme Chief Elder.

Under the surge of magical power, the ancient talisman shone brightly, as if it could erupt at any moment.

The Taiyi Elder instinctively took a step back; he felt waves of trepidation from this ancient talisman.

The moment the ancient talisman appeared, he felt the urge to retreat.

But he couldn't retreat; if his personal Disciple died in front of him and he couldn't get justice for him, what face would Taiyi Holy Land have if this spread?

More importantly, Ditian would certainly not let him off lightly.

So he could only brace himself and confront Jun Ao Zhi:

"What do you want to do?"

Jun Ao Zhi did not reply, but instead pointed to the ancient talisman in his hand and retorted: "Old man, do you know what this is?"
