Chapter 133 Kowtow

"Haha, look at our awe-inspiring Elder Xie. Now he's been beaten to the ground. What a disgrace!"

"Who told him to be disrespectful to his elders and even want to protect that scum Shi Zhuoyue? He deserves it. He should be taught a lesson by our Sect Leader Xie."

The monks of these sects had long been dissatisfied with the condescending attitude of these elders. Now that they saw him being beaten, they naturally couldn't help but make sarcastic remarks and vent their resentment.

But some people didn't want to see Chi Li ascend to the throne, and they retorted, "Hmph! A daughter actually defied her father openly. This is a complete disregard for human ethics. If she really wins, won't our sect become a laughing stock? Such a traitor is not worthy of being our sect leader!"

"Her? How could she possibly win? Elder Xie is so powerful, how could she, a practitioner of evil techniques, challenge him? Right now, Elder Xie is just being considerate of their father-daughter relationship and can't bear to attack her. Just wait and see. Before long, Elder Xie will strike back, and she'll be forced to kneel and beg for mercy!"

These monks were very confident in Xie Xiaohai's strength, but they didn't know that he was on the verge of collapse at this moment.

It wasn't that he was unwilling to stand up and fight with Chi Lun, but he was suppressed by the invisible pressure emanating from Chi Lun's body and could only kneel on the ground.

Xie Xiaohai's face was pale, with cold sweat on his forehead. He was extremely terrified. He could only grit his teeth and hold on to resist the oppressive feeling that was as heavy as a mountain. His whole face was distorted.

The water python that had just attacked Chi Lu had already been torn into pieces by the thousands of wind blades drawn by the Realm Breaking Pen. It twisted and struggled painfully in the air, and finally turned powerlessly into wisps of water mist and drifted away with the wind.

Chi Li stood in the center of the inky mist, her clothes moving without wind, her figure as hazy as a painting.

She lifted her wrist slightly, and the tip of the pen moved like a dragon and snake. As the last stroke of the word "broken" fell, a blood-red light burst out in an instant. The handwriting seemed to be full of blood, and suddenly expanded several times, carrying a tremendous force, and pressed towards Xie Xiaohai.

Wherever the word "break" passed, it destroyed everything with ease. Even the air was torn apart, making a sharp whistling sound that was heart-pounding.

Seeing the bloody words approaching, Xie Xiaohai's face instantly changed color, and his pupils constricted. "No, this is impossible! This is definitely not the power that a Spiritual Transformation Realm can possess!"

The terrifying deterrent force made his whole body tremble, and he almost subconsciously wanted to cast a spell to escape, but it was too late.

A deafening cracking sound was heard, and the defensive light shield in front of him exploded. The word "break" burning with blood-red flames, wrapped in the momentum of burning the sky and destroying the earth, fiercely hit his body.

“Aa ...

In an instant, Xie Xiaohai let out a shrill scream that shook the heavens and the earth.

He fell to the ground, his whole body shaking violently, his bones making unbearable cracking sounds, his ten fingers tightly gripping the blue bricks on the ground, and the overflowing blood slowly flowed through the cracks in the bricks.

The blood words turned into red lines, moving along his meridians like a living thing, absorbing all the spiritual energy wherever they passed.

Soon, Xie Xiaohai's realm fell from the Spirit Transformation Realm to the Nascent Soul Realm.

"No——! My spiritual power... my cultivation..." He watched his long, shiny black hair turn into frost inch by inch, and his slender fingers shriveled like dead branches, trembling weakly like two chicken claws, and his heart was in so much pain that it was bleeding.

Only then did he realize that the reason why Shi Zhenlin fell in realm and died at the hands of Shi Zhuoyue was all because of Chi Peng. Only she knew this technique to break through the realm!

But he realized it too late.

However, in the blink of an eye, he fell to the final stage of the Golden Core. A golden spirit bead that condensed his two hundred years of cultivation floated up from his dantian and flew towards Chi Li.

Chi Qi put the emerald jade pen at her waist, reached out to grab the spirit bead, put it into the storage bag, walked up to Xie Xiaohai, lowered her eyes and looked at the old man lying in a pool of blood like a dying man, with a cold smile on her lips.

"You lose."

The words were spoken very softly, but they were like a handful of cold water dropped into a frying pan, shocking Xie Xiaohai to death. It was also like a bomb dropped into the deep sea, causing huge waves in the hearts of the monks.

"Elder Xie...actually lost...How is this possible?!"

"Just one strike destroyed Elder Xie's two hundred years of cultivation. What kind of sorcery is this?"

"This isn't fair. Xie Yuqing clearly won by using some unorthodox tactics. This is an unfair victory!"

Everyone was in an uproar, all with an expression of disbelief.

Before Chi Li took over as the sect leader, they showed respect on the surface, but deep down they just treated her as a joke, believing that she would be forced to step down soon.

But now, even Elder Xie, who was half a step away from becoming a god, was defeated by her. I am afraid that Jinmen Immortal Mansion will never find another person to oppose her becoming the sect leader, unless the master Gongsun Xiong, who has been in seclusion for many years, comes out at this time.

But this is impossible.

After witnessing Chi Lu's terrifying strength, many cultivators began to regret having ridiculed her just now, and secretly prayed in their hearts that she was busy fighting and didn't hear what they said. Otherwise, if she came to her senses and used the realm-breaking technique on each of them, they would be in trouble.

Of course, the person who was happiest to see this result was Yu Yixian.

She immediately led the monks from Moon-Watching Peak to meet them, congratulating Chi Li on her victory in the Golden Gate Challenge and securing her position as Sect Leader. She then asked, "Sect Leader, what do you intend to do with Elder Xie and Shi Zhuoyue?"

Chi Li said slowly, "Of course, we will follow our previous agreement. Elder Xie will kowtow to me three times, and then I will send him out of the sect."

When Xie Xiaohai heard this, he was so angry that he almost coughed up blood, "You——!"

Chi Li raised an eyebrow, and her slender fingers gently stroked the jade pen hanging from her waist. "What? Are you regretting it?"

Xie Xiaohai's eyes fell on the Breakthrough Pen, and he immediately recalled the pain just now. He couldn't help but tremble all over, and his heart was filled with fear.

He gritted his teeth, and after a long while, he finally squeezed out a hoarse word from his throat, "I'm just afraid... Sect Master, you can't bear it."

Chi Qi sneered, "Whether you can bear it or not is not up to you to decide. I'll just sit here and wait for you to kowtow." As she said that, she stretched out her hand to the side.

Yu Yixian understood instantly and gave Liu Xiaoman, who was following beside him, a fierce look. Liu Xiaoman immediately took out a luxurious mahogany armchair from his storage bag and placed it respectfully behind Chi Li.

The movements were smooth and quick, taking only a few breaths.

In order to make a good impression in front of the new sect leader, Liu Xiaoman even deliberately wiped the clean, dust-free chair surface with his sleeve and said with a fake smile, "Sect Leader, please take a seat."

Chi Li didn't even bother to glance at him. She just sat down, casually resting her arms on the armrests, crossed her legs, and glanced at Xie Xiaohai with an indifferent and arrogant attitude. "Let's get started."

Xie Xiaohai never expected that Yu Yixian's attitude would change so quickly. When he looked at the other three elders, they all avoided his gaze and were unwilling to even stand up and say a word for him.

What disappointed him the most was Sun Nanshan. He had been the one who had helped Chi Lan when she beat him up just now, but now he was actually trying to please Chi Lan and even urged her, "Accept the loss, Xie Xiaohai, and kowtow to the Sect Master!"

As for Shi Zhuoyue, who was being protected by him, she even crawled directly to Chi Lan's feet, crying and begging, "Mom, Yue'er knows I was wrong. I said a lot of hurtful things to you before, but it was all Grandpa's fault. He just had ulterior motives and couldn't bear to see us connected as mother and son. Yue'er really knows she was wrong, so please forgive me this time!"

Xie Xiaohai was really disappointed. If he hadn't been seriously injured and his spiritual power was exhausted, he would have wanted to kill Shi Zhuoyue with a sword.

What made it even more difficult was that Chi Qi's cultivation was unfathomable, and everyone in the sect was on her side, not daring to speak to her. If he didn't kowtow, he might not survive. He could only swallow his anger and wait for revenge later.

So, Xie Xiaohai suppressed his anger, crawled forward on his knees, and kowtowed three times to Chi Qi. When he raised his head, his forehead was broken and blood was flowing.

He said with a look of humiliation: "Now, you are satisfied, right?"

Chi Li narrowed her eyes, smiled, and nodded, "Very good. Elder Xie is very flexible and adaptable. I admire him very much. Come, escort him out of the sect."

"No... no need, I can walk by myself." Xie Xiaohai pretended to be noble, stood up tremblingly, turned around and walked out of the square.

The monks who were watching on the side all stepped aside to make way for him, looking at him with eyes full of pity.

Qiu Qianling hid behind Yu Yixian, watching Xie Xiaohai's staggering back, and suddenly a cold thought arose in her heart. If she could kill him with the bloody blade while he was weak, wouldn't her cultivation level be able to reach a higher level?

At this time, everyone's attention has shifted to Shi Zhuoyue, waiting to see how Chi Luo will deal with him.

"It goes without saying that the Sect Master will definitely spare Shi Zhuoyue's life. After all, he is her only son!"

Qiu Qianling thought the same thing, and looked at Chi Qi in front of him with gloomy eyes, but saw her stand up, and a cold light flashed, and Shi Zhuoyue's head immediately rolled to the ground.

She swept her cold eyes over the crowd present and said in a cold voice, "Shi Zhuoyue's crime is unforgivable. Even if I were his mother, I would not tolerate him in the slightest. Please take today's incident as a warning and strictly abide by the sect's rules. Don't do things you shouldn't do. Otherwise, don't blame me for being ruthless."

Everyone was shocked by her methods, their eyes filled with awe. They lowered their heads and responded in unison: "Yes, we will follow the orders of the Sect Master!"

Qiu Qianling still couldn't believe it. Why did she kill Shi Zhuoyue? Could it be that she had really realized the truth and turned over a new leaf, as she said?

It's ridiculous. Do you really think that you can become a Buddha just by putting down your butcher knife?

Don't think that she will forgive her just by making a casual gesture. We have a deep blood feud and we cannot reconcile!

Suddenly, a soft voice came from the front, "Qian Ling, are you okay? Do you want me to find a doctor to check you out?"

Qiu Qianling looked up in surprise, only to see Chi Lu standing in front of her, looking at her with concern.

She was startled, fearing that she had some sinister intentions, and immediately said cautiously: "No, no need! Thank you for your concern, Sect Master. I have practiced medicine and can treat myself."

Chi Li, contrary to her usual behavior, smiled gently and said softly, "That's good. But why do you call me Sect Master? I have always treated you as my daughter. Shouldn't you call me Mother?"

Qiu Qianling was stunned. Why did Xie Yuqing say such disgusting things? It gave her goosebumps all over her body.
