Emperor Xiu is currently only at the initial stage of the Spirit King realm, yet this luxurious lineup includes a Supreme Elder with the highest cultivation level being the mid-stage Spirit Venerable, while the other elders and guest ministers range from Spirit Emperor to Spirit Saint.
This lineup was there to capture a disciple at the Spirit King Realm. Firstly, because this place was special, and secondly, because a disciple reported that a strange phenomenon had occurred here.
Regardless, they were quite lenient with the person who was arrested.
Seeing that Di Xiu seemed determined to stay in the Zongheng Mountains and refuse to leave, the elders decided to join forces to capture him alive. The moment they made their move, the dragon's roar rang out again, accompanied by a strange hissing sound like a snake.
Suddenly, water vapor filled the surroundings, instantly condensing into a black water curtain that encircled Di Xiu in the middle, or rather, protected him in the middle.
The Third Elder's expression changed drastically, not understanding why the usually neutral sacred beast would suddenly interfere in the affairs of human cultivators.
"Red Dragon Venerable, Black Tortoise Venerable, what is the meaning of this?"
"Xiao Lingchuan, you actually colluded with spirit beasts! What is your punishment?"
The Crimson Dragon Venerable remained silent, but two other voices rang out from the depths of the valley, one deep and slow, the other cold and arrogant, both saying in unison: "My wife and I have received kindness from Fellow Daoist Xiao, and thus we have formed a bond. If you wish to harm him, you will have to get past us first."
Di Xiu raised his hand and placed it on the water curtain, shook his head slightly, and calmly said in the direction from which the voice came, "This matter has nothing to do with you, and you do not need to interfere."
A tremor seemed to come from afar, as if some enormous thing was burrowing underground. Each time the two sounds rang out, they would stop.
The two strange voices spoke again, but their attitude towards him was much gentler: "Young friend, if you need, you can call us husband and wife. Our names are Xuanwu Cangya."
Emperor Xiu raised an eyebrow slightly, thinking to himself that he definitely hadn't done any favors for the original owner. Could it be the original owner? But in the timeline, the original owner died and disappeared in this place, and he didn't see this Crimson Dragon Xuanwu come to help.
He turned to the elders and said calmly, "To this day, the sect has never given me a chance to explain."
Emperor Xiu is not a murderer. If he can reason with others, he will not resort to killing to solve problems. Moreover, the original owner's third request included clearing his name.
The youngest elder, who also had the lowest cultivation level, spoke angrily: "The evidence is conclusive, how dare you try to deny it again."
Di Xiu paused, then lowered his head and scoffed, "Evidence? Ha."
Seeing that the young elder was about to make a move, the Crimson Dragon spewed out a tongue of fire, forcing him back: "The majesty of the Zongheng Mountain Range is inviolable. If you insist on fighting on our territory and destroying the flowers and plants, I will not tolerate it."
Emperor Xiu: "..."
The elders were very aggrieved. The young elder bowed to the Supreme Elder and said angrily, "We beg Grandmaster Uncle to take action and bring this traitor Xiao Lingchuan to justice."
To reach the Spirit Venerable Realm, one must master the laws. This Supreme Elder, however, mastered the laws of space, allowing him to easily capture Xiao Lingchuan, a Spirit King Realm cultivator.
The Supreme Elder was somewhat displeased that he had used a sledgehammer to crack a nut, but since it concerned the sect's sacred artifact, and he was entitled to the sect's offerings, he also had an obligation to bring the thief to justice, so he nodded in agreement.
He casually glanced at the minor Spirit King Realm cultivator, his eyes gleaming with silver light, and frowned, saying, "The Taiyi Mirror isn't on him."
He has mastered the laws of space, and can see at a glance what Xiao Lingchuan has on him, including his spatial magic weapon which is clean and contains only a broken sword.
Speaking of which, that seems to be his natal spirit sword? Never mind, it's none of his business.
The Supreme Elder had never seen a spiritual cultivator using such a poor spatial magic weapon before. At the same time, he also vaguely sensed a certain oppressive feeling emanating from the junior.
This is truly bizarre! How could a mere junior at the Spirit King Realm make a powerful Spirit Venerable Realm expert like himself feel oppressed? The Supreme Elder simply assumed that those few sacred beasts whose brains had been damaged by the poisonous herbs were secretly backing him up.
"He must have hidden the sacred object. Once we catch him and bring him back, the Discipline Hall will have ways to make him talk."
A dark-skinned, thin retainer beside him chimed in, "Xiao Lingchuan, where is the Taiyi Mirror? Hand it over."
Another short retainer had already made a move, but when he clearly saw the traitor standing there, he grabbed nothing.
"Huh?"
The Supreme Elder felt somewhat ashamed, thinking to himself, "How could someone like this be allowed to enter the Taiyi Sect as a guest elder?"
"Five steps in the Kun position."
The short guest immediately reached for the Kun position, but missed again. The young elder, not believing in such an omen, joined in the attack.
The Supreme Elder's eyes lit up, and he stroked his goatee, praising, "Not bad, not bad. This formation is exquisite. Yuqing has taught a good disciple."
Third Elder: "...Grandmaster Uncle, please take action to capture him."
"What's with the rush? Do you need me to teach you how to do things?"
At the same time, Di Xiu spoke up: "It's getting dark."
The short guest and the young elder could not get close to him no matter what they did, and they were furious for a moment, but then they were stunned by what they saw.
As stars gradually appeared, Emperor Xiu reached out and grasped at the starry sky. His long, slender fingers carried the movement and flow of the stars with an invisible force.
The Supreme Elder went completely mad.
My God, what kind of method is this? I've never heard of it before!
A star in the southeast suddenly lit up, streaking across the sky like a shooting star, pointing towards a certain place on the Xuanling Continent.
"What is that?" the young elder asked instinctively.
Emperor Xiu calmly said, "This is where the sacred object you are looking for is located."
It is also where Li Chen is.
"You stole the sacred object; don't try to lure us away from our base."
Di Xiu lifted his thin eyelids and looked at them: "Evidence."
The Third Elder frowned and said, "When Junior Nephew Li went to Cloud Peak, he witnessed you murdering your master and recorded the scene with a magic weapon."
Di Xiu chuckled inwardly, but did not wish to argue with them about the matter, because he could not provide any evidence to prove that he was not the original body. However, he could do the opposite.
