61: Chapter 61 Arrogant at First, Respectful at Later

“The Qingyun Sect has colluded with demonic cults and slaughtered their fellow disciples; their crimes are monstrous!”

“The Yumen Sect, Wuding Sect, and Leiting Sect came to suppress you Devil Heads, only to be brutally murdered. Such actions incense both gods and men, and cannot be tolerated by heaven and earth!”

“I have come under the orders of the Wuya Sect to exterminate you Devil Heads and avenge the innocent people of the Yumen Sect who died tragic deaths!”

“Today, I shall surely trample the Qingyun mountain gate and leave... not even a chicken or dog alive!”

Liu Xuanmiao's voice was like rolling thunder, spreading in all directions. She immediately pinned a black label on them, branding the Qingyun Sect as Devil Heads who had fallen into the Demonic Path.

In this way, the Wuya Sect's move to annihilate the Qingyun Sect would be justified by a righteous cause!

“You... absolute nonsense!!”

“This is pure slander!”

Upon hearing these words, Lin Xueyue and the others were beyond furious, erupting in rage!

“Hehehe... how wonderful!”

Just then, a cold laugh rang out!

Zhu Jin clapped and laughed as he strode forward. “You say the Qingyun Sect colluded with demonic cults and harmed the Yumen Sect, but where is the evidence? You can't just flap your lips and slander them, can you?”

“Evidence?”

Liu Xuanmiao's gaze was contemptuous and arrogant. “When my Wuya Sect acts, why do we need evidence!”

“If I say the Qingyun Sect colluded with demonic cults, then they colluded with demonic cults!”

Hearing this, Zhu Jin's gaze grew even colder. “Then by your logic, since I am here under orders to help the Qingyun Sect, does that mean I and the power behind me are also colluding with demonic cults?”

“Naturally!”

Liu Xuanmiao said coldly, “I have reason to suspect that you and Ji Aotian are both members of a demonic cult! Surrender peacefully, or don't blame me for being impolite!”

“Very good, very good...”

Zhu Jin smiled, revealing a sinister grin. “You actually dare to slander the Lanzhou Princes Mansion for colluding with demonic cults. Your Wuya Sect has some nerve!!”

“I am Zhu Jin, a personal guard of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion! I have come under the orders of Her Highness the County Princess to assist the Qingyun Sect!”

Zhu Jin directly pulled out the Lanzhou Princes Mansion County Princess Medallion. As spiritual energy flowed through her fingers, the medallion was activated. The totem emblem of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion radiated light, and strands of golden Dragon Qi swirled around it; for a moment, the sound of a dragon's roar could even be heard!

“This is... the Lanzhou Princes Mansion County Princess Medallion!?”

“You, you are from the Lanzhou Princes Mansion??”

Liu Xuanmiao's pupils shrank violently, her heart jolting with shock. She was so startled she retreated several steps, her head buzzing.

A medallion could be faked, but that pure and terrifying wisp of Dragon Qi could not. Only the high nobility of the Great Wu Dynasty were qualified to wield it!

At the thought that she had just slandered the Lanzhou Princes Mansion, her Face turned slightly green.

“The, the Lanzhou Princes Mansion??”

“Impossible... how could the Qingyun Sect possibly invite the Lanzhou Princes Mansion to help? How is this possible!!”

“This medallion must be a fake!”

“Senior, please do not believe their nonsense!”

The people of the Yumen Sect were terrified to their cores. They simply could not believe that a mere Qingyun Sect could actually move the Lanzhou Princes Mansion to intervene!

This was simply too surreal!

Liu Xuanmiao's expression shifted repeatedly. With her discernment, she could naturally tell the medallion was not a fake!

That County Princess was deeply favored by the Prince of Lanzhou and had already begun to wield a portion of the mansion's authority. To a certain extent, the County Princess's will represented the attitude of the Lanzhou Princes Mansion!

Offending the Lanzhou Princes Mansion for the sake of the Yumen Sect was a losing bargain; it was completely unworthy!

If she dared to do so, she would likely be punished upon returning to the Wuya Sect!

“My apologies. I was unaware of Your Excellency's identity just now. My words were inappropriate, and I apologize to the Lanzhou Princes Mansion!”

Liu Xuanmiao took a deep breath and bowed toward the County Princess Medallion.

And then.

She gave Ji Taichang and the others a cold look. “Consider yourselves lucky this time!”

“Let's go!”

Clearly, Liu Xuanmiao was still unwilling. She didn't dare to act this time out of respect for the Lanzhou Princes Mansion's Face, but that didn't mean she would let the Qingyun Sect off!

At Liu Xuanmiao's command, even the most reluctant Cultivators of the Yumen Sect, like Li Gaodan, could only activate their giant golden swords and prepare to return home.

“I never said you could leave.”

Just then, a cold voice rang out, causing everyone from the Yumen Sect to stiffen.

Liu Xuanmiao and Li Gaodan whipped their heads around, staring intently at Ji Taichang. “What more do you want?!”

A cold smile curled on Ji Taichang's lips. “The fellows from the Wuya Sect can scram, but as for the people of the Yumen Sect... since you've come, you might as well stay and be at peace.”

Liu Xuanmiao frowned. “What do you mean?”

“Since you've come, then be buried here!”

As Ji Taichang's voice fell, the mystic rock tower expanded once more against the wind, crashing down toward the many Yumen Sect Cultivators!

“You... don't push people too far!”

Liu Xuanmiao was enraged. She immediately drew a scimitar and slashed toward the mystic rock tower.

But just then.

Zhu Jin's figure blurred, and a scarlet-red precious sword appeared in her hand. She slashed at Liu Xuanmiao, forcing her to change direction and swing her scimitar against Zhu Jin, meeting her strike head-on.

In this way, Ji Taichang's mystic rock tower smashed down toward the Yumen Sect crowd with the force of a thunderbolt!

Li Gaodan roared and formed a hand seal. The giant golden sword beneath his feet immediately flew out to meet the descending mystic rock tower.

There was only a dull, heavy "thud."

The giant golden sword vibrated violently under the impact and was continuously pressed down. Blood seeped from the corners of Li Gaodan's mouth, and his body trembled.

But...

He actually blocked it!

Though the process was extremely difficult and he couldn't hold on for long.

“A top-grade Magical Artifact... tsk, it seems your Yumen Sect is quite wealthy.”

Ji Taichang's eyes lit up. He stared at the giant golden sword and grinned.

“A nice treasure. It's mine now!”

“Hand it over!”

Ji Taichang took a step forward, and his Quick Sword unsheathed, slashing toward Li Gaodan like lightning!

The giant golden sword was busy clashing with the mystic rock tower, so in his haste, Li Gaodan could only pull out a silver sword to parry.

He was then sent flying by Ji Taichang's sword strike, spitting out another large mouthful of blood.

He was only at the Golden Core Stage Eighth Level, and he was too old; his blood and Qi had withered, and he was no longer in his Peak state. He was simply no match for Ji Taichang!

“Grand Elder!!”

“Bastard... don't you dare act so viciously!”

Seeing this, the other Yumen Sect Cultivators couldn't help but cry out in alarm. With eyes full of worry and hatred, they all attacked, casting Divine Abilities and techniques from a distance in an attempt to restrain Ji Taichang and buy Li Gaodan time to breathe.

Ji Taichang slapped his forehead. “I was so busy hitting this old thing that I almost forgot about you all!”

“Die for me!!”

He raised his hand and slashed his sword toward the hundreds and thousands of Cultivators of the Yumen Sect!

Ji Taichang did not hold back in the slightest with this strike. His Golden Core Stage Ninth Level cultivation erupted, and the Blazing Fire Art was pushed to its limit, unleashing a hundred-zhang-long flaming Sword Qi that caused the temperature of the world to rise sharply, brilliant and blazing!

The Divine Abilities and techniques launched by the Yumen Sect Cultivators melted instantly. With just a single sweeping strike, the densely packed Cultivators exploded like fireworks, leaving not even ashes behind as they were sent to the yellow springs with a smile.
