36: We're here to reason things out; hand over the treasure trove.

Above the Hidden God Sect.

The Great Luo Holy Master was still immersed in his dream of seizing the exotic treasure and ruling over the Eastern Wilderness.

He looked at the Youth in White Robes below, who didn't know whether he was living or dying and was still clamoring about "ransacking the house." The sneer on his lips grew wider.

"Ransacking the house?"

"Whose house are you going to ransack?"

"This seat wants to see, you ant at the bottom of a well, what you have to..."

However.

He hadn't even finished speaking.

A sudden change occurred!

The Youth in White Robes below snapped his fingers.

"Snap."

A soft sound.

Immediately after, he, his four Disciples, and the Mutt that was still barking wildly, suddenly became illusory, like reflections cast into water, rippling in circles.

The next second.

They vanished into thin air.

"Hm?"

The Great Luo Holy Master's pupils constricted, and his Divine Soul spread out instantly, covering the sky and earth. "Where are the people?!"

"Holy Master! It's bad!"

An elder responsible for observation suddenly let out a terrified scream, pointing at the compass that was trembling violently in his hand.

"The... the sect is in trouble!"

"The sect's protective formation has been attacked from the outside!"

"How is that possible?!" The Great Luo Holy Master's expression changed drastically. "Who dares to attack my Great Luo Holy Land?!"

Before his words had even faded.

A huge water mirror appeared out of thin air in front of the golden warship.

In the water mirror, what was revealed was the magnificent mountain gate of the Great Luo Holy Land, like an immortal palace!

However, at this moment.

Standing in front of the mountain gate were a few uninvited guests.

The Youth in White Robes leading them, if not Li Daoxuan who was just clamoring about "ransacking the house," then who could it be?!

"Tele... teleportation?!"

The Great Luo Holy Master felt as if he had been struck by lightning, and his whole person was stunned.

"Void teleportation across tens of thousands of miles?!"

"This... how is this possible?! Even a powerhouse at the Soul Transformation Stage could not do this!"

He finally realized that he seemed to have... touched something he shouldn't have.

The opponent was not some weakling.

This was a prehistoric dragon in sheep's clothing!

"Quick! Defend! All troops, return to defend!!"

The Great Luo Holy Master let out a heart-wrenching roar, the warship turned around, rushing back like crazy.

But... it was already too late.

...

Great Luo Holy Land.

As the hegemon of the Eastern Wilderness, the style here was simply inhumanly wealthy.

Ninety-nine spiritual peaks pierced the clouds like sharp swords, and every mountain peak was built with jade buildings, cranes dancing, and spiritual energy so dense it was almost condensing into water.

Just that huge mountain gate, a hundred zhang high, was carved from a single piece of "Nine Heavens White Jade," covered with Dao runes, and was exceptionally magnificent.

At this moment.

In front of this mountain gate, which was enough to make any Cultivator in the Eastern Wilderness awe-struck.

Li Daoxuan stood with his hands behind his back, looking up and admiring this masterful architecture, clicking his tongue in wonder.

"Not bad, not bad, quite wealthy."

"These two stone lions at the entrance seem to be carved from 'Sea-Suppressing Basalt Stone'? If this were taken to be sold, it would probably fetch quite a few spirit stones, right?"

Behind him.

Xiao Chen carried an iron sword, Leng Yanran held an axe, Shi Tian waved a hoe, and Ye Fan... Ye Fan was drooling.

"Master, the spiritual energy in this place is so dense, I feel like I'm going to grow taller just by taking a breath." Shi Tian said honestly.

"That's natural." Li Daoxuan smiled. "This is the gathering place of the number one dragon vein in the Eastern Wilderness. Later, we'll extract the dragon vein and take it back to replace the foundation of our sect."

Just as these Disciples were commenting on the "renovation" of the Great Luo Holy Land like they were strolling through a vegetable market.

"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"

Dozens of powerful auras rushed out from inside the mountain gate.

Leading them was the Great Elder, who was left behind to guard the sect, a genuine Nascent Soul Middle Stage Cultivator!

He looked at these uninvited guests at the door, dressed in tatters and with a Mutt in tow, his brows locked tightly.

"Who is it?!"

"How dare you trespass into my Great Luo Holy Land! Don't you know what place this is?!"

Li Daoxuan heard this and revealed an extremely kind, harmless smile.

He took a step forward and cupped his hands politely.

"This Elder, don't be nervous."

"We are not here to fight."

"We are here to reason."

Reasoning?

The Great Elder was stunned, looking at the hoe still stained with mud in Shi Tian's hand, his eyes even more suspicious.

"Reason about what?"

"It's like this."

Li Daoxuan cleared his throat and began to talk nonsense with a straight face.

"Just now, your Holy Master, leading an army of one hundred thousand, ran to my doorstep to show off his might."

"Not only that, one of your elders used magic to blow up the most beloved bone of my pet dog — Dahuang."

Li Daoxuan pointed at the Mutt behind him that was still baring its fangs.

"You see, how much severe psychological trauma it caused my Dahuang?"

"It shivers now whenever it sees a bone and can't even eat."

"So, according to the rules of the cultivation world, shouldn't you... pay some compensation for mental damages?"

Great Elder: "..."

The dozens of elders and deacons behind him: "..."

They were collectively petrified.

They had never heard of such an outrageous scam in their lives.

Just for a dog bone?

Ran to the door of the number one Holy Land in the Eastern Wilderness to extort?

Was this person's brain kicked by a donkey or caught in a door?

"Hahahaha!"

After a brief silence, a burst of earth-shattering laughter erupted.

"A lunatic! Where did this lunatic come from!"

"What did I hear? For a dog bone? Who does he think he is? An Immortal Emperor above the Nine Heavens?"

The Great Elder was so angry that his beard stood up, pointing at Li Daoxuan and roaring:

"Where did this wild Cultivator come from! Full of nonsense!"

"Kneel down and kowtow to apologize immediately, break your own arms, and perhaps this old man can spare your dog life!"

"Otherwise, today I will make your Divine Soul dissipate, and you will never be reincarnated!"

The smile on Li Daoxuan's face remained unchanged, he just sighed.

"It seems that reason cannot be used here."

He turned around and spread his hands to the three Disciples behind him.

"Disciples, do you see?"

"This is called refusing a toast only to be forced to drink a forfeit."

"Since civilized means cannot solve the problem, then we can only use... physical ways to reason with them."

"Master is wise!" Xiao Chen and the others responded in unison.

Li Daoxuan nodded, pointing to the magnificent white jade mountain gate, and the barrier of the sect-protecting formation behind the mountain gate that had already lit up like an inverted golden bowl.

"Do you see?"

"That is their reasoning."

"As long as we smash their reasoning, they will naturally listen to us reason."

"Master, I'm good at this job!"

Shi Tian jumped out excitedly, patting his chest with a thud.

Li Daoxuan looked at him, revealing a gratified expression of "a child who can be taught."

"Very good, promising."

"Second Disciple, go."

"Try your new hoe and see if it's hard enough."

Shi Tian heard this and gave a silly laugh, but brilliant purple light erupted in his eyes.

"Alright!"

He held the [Earth Hoe] tightly with both hands, and his small body erupted with terrifying power that was completely inconsistent with his size.

The purple power of the Vault of Heaven Tyrant Blood, like boiling magma, poured crazily into the hoe along his arms.

That hoe, which looked unremarkable at first, buzzed at this moment, the dirt on it falling off, revealing ancient runes flashing with earthy yellow divine light underneath.

"Ha—!!"

Shi Tian let out a violent shout, swung the hoe that was taller than him, used all his strength, and aimed at the protective formation that was claimed to be able to withstand a full-strength attack from the Soul Transformation Stage.

Fiercely.

Smashed down.
