Chapter 132: Fighting
Hearing Shi Zhuoyue's roar, the crowd fell silent for a moment, as if they had been stabbed in the vitals.
After a long pause, he managed to utter, "Stop your nonsense and slander!"
After Qiu Qianling placed Shi Zhenlin's body on the ground in front of her, she knelt quietly beside the body, silent. Her eyes were still red and swollen from crying, and her expression was panicked and sad.
Perhaps in the eyes of others, she looked really pitiful, but in her heart, she just thought they were ridiculous.
She saw that among the crowd who had just insulted Shi Zhuoyue, there was also Liu Xiaoman, who had been blackmailing Shi Zhuoyue for a long time, and then he turned around and became a high-ranking righteous man.
The so-called morality and righteousness are nothing more than tools they use to gang up on others, not because they truly sympathize with her and speak up for her.
But even so, she had to be the most perfect victim, weak and pitiful, and unarmed, so that justice could be served through Shi Zhenlin's death.
If it weren't for the serious crime of murdering his father, and if it weren't for the fact that all his actions had been exposed in the video, they would probably just question her, "Why didn't you resist, little junior sister? Maybe you offered your spiritual root voluntarily. After all, everyone knows that women are not good at cultivating immortals."
She did not feel any pleasure of revenge in her heart, because this was not her victory.
But unfortunately, she was not strong enough and could only rely on these people to defeat Shi Zhuoyue.
Thinking of this, Qiu Qianling took a deep breath, looked up at Shi Zhuoyue, and asked sternly, "Brother, do you mean that all immortal cultivators are like you, willing to harm their loved ones for their own selfish reasons? Are you trying to tell the world that so-called immortal cultivation is nothing more than using the flesh and blood of humans to feed a group of parasites that are full of all five poisons?"
"Then what's the point of the Immortal Clan's existence? Your words are the greatest slander against the Jinmen Immortal Mansion and the greatest insult to the Immortal Clan cultivators! If I shield you today, I'm afraid the outside world will think that all of us in the Jinmen Immortal Mansion are despicable."
After he finished speaking, Shi Zhuoyue's expression changed immediately. When did Qiu Qianling become so eloquent?
Everyone realized the sinister nature of Shi Zhuoyue's words and angrily broke off ties with him.
"Junior Sister is right, Shi Zhuoyue, stop looking down on others with your dog eyes. You are the only trash in this world!"
"That's right, stop judging others by your own standards and dragging us down with you. We are cultivating the way of immortals, not animals. We can't do such a beastly thing as you!"
Finally, someone couldn't help it anymore and suddenly drew out his sword. The blade flashed a cold light in the sunlight. "Don't waste time talking to him. Kill him and purge the sect of this scum!"
As soon as the words fell, the square was filled with the sound of sharp swords being unsheathed. In an instant, cold light flashed like a starry sky in the cold night, sharp and intimidating, surrounding Shi Zhuoyue.
Shi Zhuoyue looked at the cold sword edge, his pupils suddenly constricted, and there was unconcealable fear in his eyes.
No, he must not die here. He has just recovered his cultivation and a bright future is waiting for him. How can he die here?
He is unwilling to accept it!
Seeing the swords approaching, Shi Zhuoyue summoned his spiritual power, and a violent gust of wind suddenly arose around him, and dust filled the sky, blurring everyone's vision. He then used the force to step on the tip of the sword, leaped into the air, and immediately turned into a cloud of black smoke, flying away into the sky.
"Want to run?" An angry shout came from the ground, and then a sword light flew through the air and pierced through his back.
This sword was extremely powerful, at least with the power of the Nascent Soul Realm. Shi Zhuoyue's smoke-transforming technique was broken instantly. The powerful backlash made him spit out a mouthful of blood. He fell from the sky and slammed heavily onto the ground with a loud bang.
He felt as if all his muscles and bones were broken and he was in great pain all over. Even breathing became extremely difficult. When he opened his mouth, blood gushed out of his throat. It was obvious that all his internal organs were seriously injured.
The man who drew the sword was really cruel. Shi Zhuoyue looked up, but only saw Sun Nanshan's arrogant and cold face.
"You have committed many evil deeds. Today, I will take over the power of the sect leader and kill you, the scum of the sect!" Sun Nanshan pointed the sword at his heart and said coldly.
He wanted to turn off the screen before for the sake of the sect's reputation, and now he wants to execute Shi Zhuoyue for the sake of the sect's reputation.
Since Shi Zhenlin is dead, the Jinmen Immortal Palace naturally needs a more stable and outstanding elder to take on the responsibility.
And he is the one who knows how to consider the overall situation the most, and the position of the sect leader belongs to him.
He gripped his sword tightly and stabbed towards Shi Zhuoyue. Shi Zhuoyue's eyes showed despair. In a flash, a white light shot out and a huge light shield instantly unfolded in front of Shi Zhuoyue. Sun Nanshan's sword was fixed and could no longer move forward even a little bit.
"Sun Nanshan, why are you bullying my grandson?" An angry shout came from the direction of Shangyang Palace. A powerful pressure spread across the square. All the cultivators below the Nascent Soul Realm were pressed down and couldn't stand up. They all let go of their hands, and their long swords fell to the ground with crackling sounds.
Qiu Qianling was also bent over by the pressure. He looked up with difficulty and saw Xie Xiaohai, who had been practicing in the hall, striding towards him. He thought to himself that it was bad. This man had the highest cultivation among the five deacons and elders, and was known as the half-step to enlightenment. He loved Shi Zhuoyue the most. If he protected Shi Zhuoyue and didn't let others kill him, no one would be able to do anything to him.
When Shi Zhuoyue saw Xie Xiaohai, his dying eyes suddenly burst into excitement, "Grandpa, save me!"
Sun Nanshan said angrily: "He stole Qiu Qianling's spiritual roots and killed Sect Master Shi for it. Doesn't he deserve to die?"
Xie Xiaohai came over and saw Shi Zhenlin's body. He was shocked and said, "Yue'er, did you really kill your father for the spiritual root?"
Shi Zhuoyue knew that she must not tell the truth at this moment, but she did not dare to lie either. With tears in her eyes, she said with a look of grievance, "No, it was mother. It was mother who dug up Qiu Qianling's spiritual roots. I didn't mean to kill father. I had no choice!"
After hearing this, Xie Xiaohai immediately made up his mind to save Shi Zhuoyue. He only had this one good grandson, how could he watch him die? Even if he really killed Shi Zhenlin, so what? The leader of a dignified sect actually died at the hands of Shi Zhuoyue, who was only at the Golden Core Realm. He was simply a waste.
"I understand." He gave Shi Zhuoyue a soothing look and turned to look at Sun Nanshan. "Even if Yue'er did something wrong, he has already paid the price. For my sake, please forgive him this time."
Sun Nanshan didn't expect Xie Xiaohai to come out and interfere. He immediately clenched his teeth and his cheek muscles twitched. Just as he was about to say something, a cold voice suddenly came from behind him, "Wait, have you forgotten that I am the leader of the sect now? It is not your turn to decide whether to kill Shi Zhuoyue or let him go."
The two turned around and saw that the monks in the square had separated to both sides. Chi Li, who had been watching coldly, walked forward, casually twirling a emerald green jade pen in her hand. Her posture was casual, but extremely provocative.
Sun Nanshan laughed in anger, "Madam Xie, please stop causing trouble. Don't you think things are chaotic enough?"
"Oh? Is this your attitude towards me?" Chi Qi said, and lightly turned the jade pen in her hand, drawing a sharp handwriting in the void, which turned into a sharp wind blade and rushed towards Sun Nanshan.
Sun Nanshan didn't take it seriously and casually swung out his magic sword to block the attack, but he didn't expect that when the wind blade got closer, it actually emitted an extremely intimidating aura.
His expression changed instantly, "Spiritual Transformation Realm...? How is this possible!"
The next moment, the wind blade shattered the sword in his hand, and the sword body broke into countless pieces. The powerful impact force knocked him over, and the whole person flew backwards.
Seeing that he was about to fall, Xie Xiaohai stepped forward and slapped him on the back to relieve his strength. Only then did Sun Nanshan stand firm and avoid falling down and making a fool of himself.
But despite this, his face had turned pale, and the hand that was holding the sword was shaking violently.
Xie Xiaohai retracted his hand, looked at Chi Li with caution, and sneered, "I was wondering why you suddenly decided to become the sect leader. It turns out you became so arrogant after such a short breakthrough in your cultivation."
The cultivators present were all shocked. Could Xie Yuqing be a genius in cultivation? But didn't everyone say women weren't good at cultivation? Besides, if Xie Yuqing truly had exceptional talent, she would have already made her mark in the world of cultivation. Wouldn't she have achieved a breakthrough at such a young age?
Qiu Qianling was also in disbelief, looking at Chi Li in astonishment. How could this be possible? Xie Yuqing's cultivation had actually reached the Spiritual Transformation Realm? How could she avenge her mother then?
Chi Li lazily lifted her eyelids and chuckled, "Do you realize how arrogant I am now? Since you know my strength, kneel down and kowtow to me three times. Then I will be magnanimous and forgive you two elders for your rudeness."
Upon hearing this, Xie Xiaohai's face instantly darkened, a fierce look flashed in his eyes, and he said viciously, "In just a few days, you've advanced from Foundation Establishment to Spirit Transformation. There's no such cultivation method in this world. I think you must have used some sinister method. Maybe Shi Zhenlin was accidentally killed by Yue'er because of you!"
"Unfortunately, cultivating immortality requires one to move forward step by step with one's feet firmly on the ground. You're using such devious methods, and sooner or later you'll be retaliated against. If I don't teach you a lesson today, I'm afraid you'll really think no one can stop you!"
With that, Xie Xiaohai suddenly unleashed a surge of spiritual energy, attacking Chi Lan. Instantly, dark clouds rolled in, the sky and earth changed color, and Xie Xiaohai released a massive, pitch-black water python, which rushed towards Chi Lan. Chi Lan released the Soul-Protecting Pearl to block the python's attack, but the immense force still overturned and cracked the surrounding statues and bricks on the ground.
The monks in the square had already run away. The powerful ones were fighting, and these low-level monks didn't dare to join in the fun.
Yu Yixian rushed to Qiu Qianling, picked her up while she was still in a daze, and placed her on a high place.
Turning back, he saw the square reduced to ruins in an instant, and gritted his teeth. "Damn it! If you want to fight so badly, can't you just go to the ring?"
It was a complete waste of the arena she prepared.
The magic array arranged around the arena will control the out-of-control spiritual power within the arena, so as to avoid accidental injury to the audience and damage to property.
It's true that one doesn't know how expensive food and fuel are until he or she manages the household. Thinking that after this fight, the task of arranging people to repair the palace and the square would definitely fall on her shoulders, and if she didn't provide enough manpower and spirit stones, she got a headache.
As for who would win the competition and become the new sect leader... she thought about it and felt that it would be better for Chi Li to win.
However, the square was now filled with dust and sand, and all one could hear was loud rumbling noises. One couldn't see anything clearly, and had no idea what the battle situation was.
Fortunately, Yu Yixian had good eyesight and immediately saw the ring that fell from the statue. He quickly flew forward and picked it up. Then he used his spiritual power to activate the ring, and the image of the battlefield unfolded above the square.
Everyone immediately looked up and then widened their eyes in shock. How could Elder Xie, who had just been so arrogant, now crawl on the ground like a dog?
