The elders of the Illusionary Heaven Palace had not expected that Zishu, who seemed harmless, would be so ruthless when he made a move; the Divine Child's sea of consciousness was clearly destroyed.
"It is impolite not to reciprocate, I was forced into this situation."
The elders of the Illusionary Heaven Palace were furious. Zishu was clearly slapping the face of the Illusionary Heaven Palace by crippling their divine son right under their noses. They simply couldn't swallow this insult.
"To avenge the son of God."
"To avenge the son of God."
Tch, all this talk about avenging the divine child, isn't it just to make you hungry and Xiu Qiyu and Zishu? Making it all so high and mighty, if it really was for that idiotic divine child, what were you doing just now?
"Have you thought this through? Do you want to go to war with my Danwang Palace?" Zishu's expression suddenly turned serious.
Although both he and Xiu Qiyu were at the peak of the Nascent Soul stage, only a hair's breadth away from the Divine Transformation stage, it was still a world of difference. Challenging opponents of higher levels wasn't impossible, but the current situation clearly involved the two Nascent Soul cultivators facing off against a group of Divine Transformation cultivators—a seemingly unbearable burden on their lives.
"You have crippled the divine son of the Illusionary Heaven Palace, what else do you have to say?"
"Elders, wait!" Yi Ruowu rushed over hurriedly. "No! Killing them both will make our Huantian Palace the target of everyone's hatred on the Taiyan Continent!" These fools, even if they want to make a move, they don't know how to choose the right time. Killing Xiu Qiyu and Zishu at this critical moment, do they really want to confirm the crime of Huantian Palace being spies of the alien race? Once this crime is confirmed, Huantian Palace will become a great enemy of the human race and will soon disappear completely from history.
"What do you mean by that, Holy Maiden? Are we just going to swallow this insult?"
"With the Heavenly Ranking competition imminent, the human race should unite to resist the alien races." Yi Ruowu spoke directly from the perspective of the greater good of the human race, causing several elders to hesitate. However, they still wore expressions that suggested they wished they could tear Xiu Qiyu apart.
“Holy Maiden, you must not have any further involvement with Xiu Qiyu, otherwise you will be expelled from the sect.”
"Tsk tsk tsk! Elder, you're really impressive. Well then, let me tell you, from now on, our Pill King Hall will no longer do business with the Illusionary Heaven Palace's pills. Any pill master who has any connection with the Illusionary Heaven Palace will lose the opportunity to make a pilgrimage to the Holy King Tower, and will also lose the qualification to be registered in the Pill King Hall."
A petite figure in purple suddenly appeared and stood beside Zishu and Xiu Qiyu. Who else could it be but Ye Xiruo?
"What does the young master mean by this?"
"It's nothing. I've always been quite protective of my own. Since Xiu Qiyu is my person, I naturally won't allow others to bully her." Ye Xiruo's expression was indifferent, but her words shocked everyone present.
It turns out the rumors were true; Xiu Qiyu voluntarily followed Ye Xiruo to the Pill King Palace and became a guest elder.
Looking at the beautiful and noble woman standing next to Xiu Qiyu, Yi Ruowu smiled bitterly. It turned out that they had been together back then, but she hadn't realized it. Now the facts were right in front of her, and she had no choice but to believe it.
Given Ye Xiruo's talent and status, it probably won't be long before good news comes from her and Xiu Qiyu. At that time, she, the so-called "ex," will become a laughing stock on the mainland.
"Our divine son was crippled, and it was those two who did it. Does the young master intend to cover it up?"
"Oh, a mere divine son of the Illusionary Heaven Palace, attempting to murder the peerless genius of my Pill King Palace? Does he not take my Pill King Palace seriously?"
The atmosphere was thick with tension, and neither the Illusionary Heaven Palace nor the Pill King Palace could tolerate their behavior. It seemed like a fight was about to break out.
The elders of the Illusionary Heaven Palace were feeling uneasy. Their minds were racing. If they killed Ye Xiruo, what were the chances of the Illusionary Heaven Palace surviving? Their expressions quickly turned grim.
Given Ye Xiruo's status, they themselves wouldn't believe it if she said she wasn't protected by any powerful figures. Yet, their divine son secretly ran away, offending the great god Xiu Qiyu, not only resulting in his own crippling but also implicating the Illusionary Heaven Palace.
The woman before him was not as gentle and harmless as she appeared. The bloody case that shocked the mainland half a year ago was still fresh in his mind. At this moment, her words were filled with murderous intent, truly deserving of her title of "Queen of Slaughter".
Ye Xiruo simply stood there quietly, doing nothing, which already put a lot of pressure on Ji Ren, not to mention the faint smile on his lips. In comparison, their noble divine son had now fallen to a state worse than a cripple, which was truly a huge irony.
"Elder, what should we do now?" This is Tianjiao City. If we start fighting, it will have a serious impact on the reputation of Huantian Palace. Moreover, Ye Xiruo has already arrived, and Jing Li may be nearby. It is still uncertain whether we can win.
What about Ye Xiruo? She didn't want to fight either. What good would it do to destroy Huantian Palace if she injured Xiu Qiyu and Zishu? So the two sides remained deadlocked.
The number of onlookers grew, but no one stepped forward to get involved. What a joke! The Pill King Palace and the Illusionary Heaven Palace, these two powerful figures, were about to clash; who would bother stirring things up?
However, some people still got involved.
"It's truly eye-opening to see a group of people who are hundreds of years old bullying three children."
“Sister is right. The outside world is not like our Mount Saintess. The people here are simple, honest and kind.”
Elder Lianqing and Elder Lianchi managed to subtly change the expressions of several elders from the Illusionary Heaven Palace through their coordinated attacks. Elder Lianqing implied that they were relentlessly bullying the younger generation, while Elder Lianchi subtly and overtly mocked their malicious intentions.
Saintess Peak is not indifferent to worldly affairs. When did it get involved with the Pill King Palace and even speak up for the Pill King Palace? The faces of the elders of Illusionary Heaven Palace immediately turned very ugly.
"This is a matter between our Illusionary Heaven Palace and Pill King Hall. We ask that the elders of Saintess Peak need not accept this."
"Tsk tsk, the young master is a distinguished guest of our Saintess Peak. How can you just shout and kill us like that? Do you not take our Saintess Peak seriously?" Elder Lianqing's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
Ye Xiruo stepped forward: "Greetings, Elders. May I ask where Senior Sister Su Sha and Senior Sister Shangguan are now?"
"Those two girls are cultivating. We'll visit the Palace Master later."
"Thank you for your trouble." Ye Xiruo knew that Elder Lianqing was concerned for her safety.
The elders of the Illusionary Heaven Palace looked even uglier when they saw the imposing presence of the Holy Maiden Peak. The question they should be considering now was not whether they were willing to spare Ye Xiruo and her group's lives, but whether Ye Xiruo was willing to spare theirs.
