Yan Qingran's sudden attack contained no spiritual power.
The long-bearded elder was caught off guard and knocked to the ground.
"What are you doing!" Feng Pingting screamed. "Who are you, daring to touch someone from my Five Spirits Immortal Sect?"
"Who are you? People who come to our aid! Are you allowed to bully the weak and oppress the small, but we are not allowed to stand up for justice?" Yan Qingran sneered. "This immortal beast has never been contracted by anyone. You see that it possesses a great treasure, so you slander it and try to seize it by force. You still have the nerve to call yourselves members of the immortal sect? Aren't you afraid of tarnishing our sect's reputation!"
"He clearly stole our things! How rude of you to attack us from behind!" The long-bearded elder was helped up from the ground by Feng Pinting.
He was ambushed in public and knocked to the ground, his face flushed red, feeling that his self-esteem had been greatly humiliated.
He drew his weapon, ready to fight Yan Qingran.
Senior Brother Li hurriedly stepped between them: "Elder Feng, please don't be impulsive. This fairy is the direct disciple of Yunyao Immortal Palace and the future master of Yunyao Immortal Palace. If there is any misunderstanding, let's clear it up."
Upon hearing the name Yunyao Immortal Palace, the long-bearded elder gritted his teeth fiercely, but ultimately did not make a move: "How to deal with disciples who violate the sect rules is my sect's business. Even if it is Yunyao Immortal Palace, they cannot interfere so much."
Although Yunyao Immortal Palace is entirely composed of women, it is ranked first among the five major sects, and Elder Longbeard is indeed somewhat wary of it.
"What rules did he break? I only saw you trying to steal treasure and kill someone just because you think you're a few years older than others." Yan Qingran sneered, swinging the spiked club in her hand, seemingly wanting to hit him again.
At this moment, Mo Wuyu had already seen Ruoruo's bloodied claws swinging in mid-air.
He thought Ruoruo was uncomfortable because her paws were covered in blood, and he was worried that the blood on her paws was too dirty and that the kitten might eat it, so he quickly took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the blood off the tips of her paws.
Soon, Ruoruo Cat's soft, white paws were revealed.
Yan Qingran raised her eyebrows slightly.
Is there anything wrong with the kitten's paws? Could it be that it was wrongly accused?
Even after being exposed, Ruoruo the cat wasn't ashamed; instead, she angrily complained, "Meow meow meow!"
He even tried to put a collar around my neck with that beast-taming talisman, trying to bully me!
Yan Qingran's anger, which had just subsided, flared up again.
He immediately swung his spiked club, sending the Golden Core stage elder flying.
"Your Yunyao Immortal Palace is going too far!" The long-bearded elder could no longer tolerate being humiliated in public.
Even if it's just to save face for their sect, they can't let this eldest disciple of Yunyao Immortal Palace act so recklessly.
The long-bearded elder, wielding his longsword and performing a sword incantation, attacked Yan Qingran.
Yan Qingran raised her head slightly and snorted with a contemptuous look in her eyes.
How dare a mortal who hasn't even become an immortal fight her?
court death!
Yan Qingran neither dodged nor evaded, but directly met the longsword with her palm. Then, in the astonished and panicked eyes of the people, the longsword, which was full of spiritual light, was shattered by her palm as if it were a fragile piece of rotten wood.
The broken sword tip flew back and pierced the long-bearded elder's shoulder, pinning him firmly to the ground.
The remaining sword fragments tore his robes to shreds, and the crimson blood almost stained them red.
"Elder!" Feng Pingting exclaimed in alarm, rushing over with worry. Her beautiful eyes were filled with tears as she looked at Yan Qingran. "You disciples of Yunyao Immortal Palace are so unreasonable! Not only do you protect my sect's traitorous disciples, but you also attacked and injured my sect's elders. Is Yunyao Immortal Palace going to break ties with my Five Spirits Immortal Sect?"
The Supreme Elders of the five major sects have just joined forces to seal that demonic rift, and the five major sects are still in a state of mutual alliance. It is really unreasonable for Yan Qingran to take such action.
Those around her were moved by Feng Pinting's pitiful appearance and felt sorry for her: "This fairy is too impulsive. It was indeed that young man who stole their sect's celestial beast..."
"You say he stole it, but did you see him steal it with your own eyes? Where's the evidence? Is this gentleman bound by a contract with their sect? I didn't see any trace of a contract." Yan Qingran retorted sharply.
"You're being unreasonable, woman! These were the words of that elder himself, and that thief didn't utter a single word in his defense. He's clearly guilty!" Seeing his friend being refuted, someone on the side couldn't help but stand up for him and criticize Yan Qingran.
The nearby secret realm is not far from the demonic rift that was just sealed.
Therefore, everyone present had some background and strength, and they would not actively provoke the major sects, but they would not try to please them either.
Each side immediately presented their own version of events, each with its own justification.
After hearing their words, Senior Brother Li shook his head helplessly: "Please calm down, everyone. I'm afraid there is some misunderstanding. My junior brother here has an innate incomplete Heavenly Soul and has been unable to speak since childhood. How can we expect him to refute this?"
Everyone was startled and all eyes fell on the handsome and tall young man.
The young man was handsome and refined, standing there like a pine tree in the snow, yet he was mute.
All eyes, whether filled with pity, disgust, or regret, were fixed on Mo Wuyu.
Ruoruo the cat immediately meowed, her voice sweet and soft, and even nuzzled Mo Wuyu's hand with her head.
They were afraid that Mo Wuyu would feel lost and upset because of these strange looks.
Mo Wuyu stood there, gently stroking the kitten's head, feeling a warm glow in his heart.
He had been watched like this since he could remember, and even felt disgust and fear. He was ostracized like a monster, and he had been saddened by it.
But over the years, he has long since stopped caring about these opinions, because he clearly understands one principle: as long as he possesses enough power, no flaw will be a flaw.
But the worry in the kitten's eyes and its undisguised affection for him brought him considerable comfort.
"But that doesn't prove he didn't steal a mythical beast. How could a mute boy who works with machines possibly have a mythical beast?" the person who was cursing muttered, still unconvinced.
He had just stopped the young man for the long-bearded elder. If the young man wasn't a bad person, wouldn't he be the fool who was being fooled?
Senior Brother Li had no idea where this celestial beast came from, and he also looked at Mo Wuyu.
"Isn't that easy to handle?" Yan Qingran said. "Since you all say that this celestial beast belongs to you, and it doesn't have a contract, why not put it in the middle and see who it goes to?"
Feng Pingting panicked: "In order to steal the celestial beast, he had already deliberately flattered it and even infiltrated the disciples who were raising it. The celestial beast was ignorant and was easily deceived by him. Now that the celestial beast has been released, it will naturally be deceived by him again."
For a time, it was still undecided who Ruoruo Cat belonged to.
