The reason why the island lord of Golden Drum Island acted so rashly was not because of his nature, but because he was ambushed by Zhao Jianyin.
Of course, Zhao Jianyin did not directly distort the will of the King of Golden Drum Island, but rather used demonic powers to amplify the hatred in the King of Golden Drum Island's heart to the extreme.
Once this hatred erupts, the island lord of Golden Drum Island will involuntarily attack Du Xuan.
Of course, although this move seems silent and extremely mysterious, in reality, Zhao Jianyin's supernatural power can only be used to deal with unorthodox practitioners like the island master of Golden Drum Island. It is not very effective against righteous practitioners like Qi Yuntian.
Because of their strong will and the protection of righteous methods, ordinary magic and evil arts have difficulty getting close to them, let alone arousing their minds.
Others might not notice this, but how could it be hidden from Hu Le?
Hu Le has now made this point directly.
However, at this moment, the leader of the demonic sect was still feigning ignorance: "What do you mean by that, Immortal Master? I truly do not understand?"
Upon hearing this, Hu Le's lips curled up slightly, and he chuckled, "You brat, how dare you play dumb in front of me? That's outrageous! Do you really think your little tricks can fool me?"
Zhao Jianyin naturally refused to admit it, feigning innocence as he said, "Immortal Master, you've misunderstood me..."
The burly man who was actually a white ox couldn't help but burst into laughter upon hearing this: "How dare you! What my master says goes, and you have no right to argue with him!"
Upon hearing this, most of the people felt that the white bull was too domineering and tyrannical, and they frowned inwardly.
However, people like Qi Yuntian believed Hu Le's words without a doubt. After all, Zhao Jianyin, a member of the Demonic Sect, was treacherous and cunning, and his demonic powers were often difficult to guard against. It was understandable that the island master of Golden Drum Island was accidentally ambushed by him.
Moreover, judging from the behavior of the Golden Drum Island Master just now, it was not at all like the behavior of a wandering immortal, which was obviously not right.
"What? Immortal Master, are you trying to frame me?"
Zhao Jianyin's expression changed drastically, but he still tried to remain calm and retorted, his face full of innocence and grievance.
"In that case, please forgive my rudeness and I will take my leave now. I will come to pay my respects to the immortal master again when the misunderstanding is cleared up!"
After saying that, he immediately used his movement technique, transforming into a black light and flying rapidly into the sky.
"Hehe... How could you possibly leave!" The white ox smiled slightly upon seeing this, and easily stretched out his hand, gently grabbing at the air.
Although Zhao Jianyin had already flown more than a hundred miles away, in the next instant, his figure suddenly stopped in mid-air.
The next moment, an invisible force swept over him like a vortex, tightly binding him, and then he was involuntarily sent flying back to his original position.
Soon after, he fell into the hands of the white bull.
Seeing that Zhao Jianyin still wanted to resist, Bai Niu casually picked him up, shook his arm lightly, and immediately sealed Zhao Jianyin's primordial spirit power.
Zhao Jianyin's body instantly went limp, losing all strength, like a deflated balloon.
Everyone who saw this scene felt a chill run down their spines.
This Zhao Jianyin was, after all, the leader of the Northern Demonic Sect, yet he fell into the hands of this burly man and became as helpless as a newborn infant.
If it were them, then...
"Master, what should we do with this boy?" Bai Niu asked Hu Le respectfully, awaiting his instructions.
However, Hu Le simply waved his hand, indicating that Bai Niu should make the decision himself and there was no need to consult him further.
"Okay, I understand."
The white ox's lips curled up slightly, revealing a faint smile. Then, as if casually tossing a pebble, it easily tossed Zhao Jianyin into the sky.
With a whoosh, Zhao Jianyin's body shot into the sky like a rocket, appearing thousands of feet above the ground in the blink of an eye.
Before he could even stop, the white bull raised his hand and pointed to the sky.
Suddenly, a thunderous sound echoed from the void, booming and rumbling.
Immediately afterwards, a dazzling bolt of lightning descended from the sky, striking Zhao Jianyin like a sharp sword.
Zhao Jianyin's body was instantly engulfed by lightning, and he let out a painful scream: "Ah..."
Under the impact of the lightning, Zhao Jianyin's body began to burn, forming a raging fire.
After the flames continued to burn for several breaths, he was finally reduced to ashes and scattered in the air.
Looking at the scene before them, Qi Yuntian and the others felt an even greater chill in their hearts.
They originally thought Hu Le and Lao Niu were just ordinary cultivators, but now it seems their strength far exceeds their expectations.
Du Xuan was extremely excited at this moment.
Although he had long known that his senior brothers Hu Le and Lao Niu were extremely powerful, he was unable to accurately judge their true strength due to his own limited cultivation.
At first, he chose to flee to the Celestial Mountain simply because it was his home, and in the entire cultivation world, only his senior brother and Old Ox could protect him.
However, he wasn't entirely confident that his senior brother could handle the pursuers behind him.
All of this was a choice made when there was no other way out.
But at this moment, he was surprised to find that his own support was so powerful; the old ox alone had easily dealt with two of the enemies.
This made him realize that he might have underestimated his senior's abilities.
So Du Xuan quickly stood up from the prayer mat and bowed to Hu Le.
"Senior brother! That person has been threatening to kill me all along. He is truly unfilial. Please, senior brother, do justice for me!"
He was essentially the one who accused the villain first. Since his senior brother was so powerful, why should he be polite?
Hu Le nodded slightly upon hearing this, then looked at Qi Yuntian and the others, and asked calmly, "Is what my junior brother said true? And what do you have to say?"
"Ha! You little beast, talking nonsense!"
"That brat is truly unfilial, daring to falsely accuse the villain first!"
"If you hadn't taken my child's life first, why would I have come after you!"
...
Upon hearing this, everyone was so angry they nearly exploded, and they all started to refute it.
"Silence!" the white ox shouted softly from the side. "How dare you all be so noisy in front of the master!"
Upon hearing this, everyone was startled and quickly shut their mouths, but the anger on their faces did not diminish in the slightest.
"Hmph!" Hu Le snorted coldly upon seeing this and said, "Since that's the case, then I will decide this matter."
As he spoke, he turned to Du Xuan and asked, "Junior brother, please tell me in detail what happened."
Upon hearing this, Du Xuan was secretly delighted, knowing that he had gained the upper hand. He immediately embellished the story, exaggerating the wickedness of Qi Yuntian and his group.
After listening to Du Xuan's account, Hu Le nodded, then looked at Qi Yuntian and the others, and said coldly, "Is what my junior brother said true?"
In truth, with his cultivation level, he could know the past and future in an instant, so how could he not know right from wrong? But no matter what, he couldn't just hand over this junior brother and let these people do as they pleased...
