"You're all glib and sharp-tongued. Looks like I need to teach you a lesson first, or you won't know what real power is!"
Unexpectedly, the White Pavilion Master ignored Xie Zhou's attempts to sow discord and slapped Xie Zhou across the face.
Xie Zhou felt as if his entire body was frozen in place by some force, unable to move, and he watched as that slap landed on her face.
"Smack!"
A crisp sound.
Xie Zhou's head was buzzing, and he felt dizzy from the blow.
"Cough cough... cough cough cough..."
Xie Zhou immediately spat out a mouthful of blood.
"What? I hit the nail on the head, and you're in such a hurry now?"
Xie Zhou showed no fear whatsoever. She spat to the side, and a slight smile even appeared on her lips.
"I suppose Pavilion Master Bai is already eager to silence me."
Xie Zhou made up her mind. If this person didn't want her to have an easy time, then she naturally wouldn't let him have an easy time either.
"Since that's the case, then I won't stand on ceremony!"
Xie Zhou grinned again.
"System, how many illusion stones do I have left?!"
Xie Zhou directly asked the system for magic stones.
"Don't talk nonsense. You absorbed all those illusion stones yourself long ago. I don't have any left here!"
The system seemed a little guilty and started spouting nonsense to Xie Zhou.
"If this had happened before, I wouldn't have known, but now, with so many energy fluctuations from these illusionary stones, you're still trying to fool me! Isn't that going a bit too far?"
Xie Zhou was too lazy to talk to the system and went straight to the point.
"this……"
The system paused for a moment, looking at the grim situation outside.
"Now it seems that the Grand Elder has always regarded me as a thorn in his side and will definitely not help me. With my master gone, I have no one to rely on. If the Pavilion Master of Wuyou Pavilion insists on eliminating me, then I will naturally have to get some interest back from him."
Xie Zhou was so serious at this moment.
“I know you have hidden some magic stones. If I am lucky enough to survive, I will repay your great kindness. If I do not survive, I will repay you in my next life.”
Xie Zhou knew that time was running out, so he could only tell the system to move.
"Alright! I'll give it to you! But I won't just watch you die in vain. This is the King of Hell's Decree. As long as this decree touches that White Pavilion Master, with his cultivation level, although he won't die immediately, it will be enough to keep him busy for a while."
The system gritted its teeth and offered up all its most prized possessions.
"good!"
Xie Zhou smiled.
The next second, Xie Zhou's hands were filled with illusion stones.
"A magic stone? Is that a magic stone in her hand?"
"So many illusion stones, how...how did she manage to do that?!"
"A high-level magical beast! This is actually a magic stone from a high-level magical beast!"
When the elders saw what Xie Zhou was holding, their eyes practically popped out of their sockets.
"You juniors? What do you want to do?"
With the Illusion Stone in hand, even the White Pavilion Master, with his cultivation level, felt a trace of apprehension.
It should be noted that this Illusion Stone is the storage point for a magical beast's lifelong cultivation. The Illusion Stone has two functions: one is to assist cultivators in their cultivation and help them quickly improve their cultivation level.
The second effect is that when the Illusion Stone is detonated with spiritual power, it will unleash all the power that a magical beast of the corresponding rank would unleash when it self-destructs.
The number of illusion stones in Xie Zhou's hands is not just one or two.
That's a whole bunch of magic stones!
Some people would even believe that these phantom stones could be detonated and used as hand grenades.
Moreover, Pavilion Master Bai has sharp eyes; he has three high-level magical beast illusion stones!
If these things were all detonated, the Sword Sect would probably be wiped out from the world forever.
And none of the people present will survive!
"Xie Zhou! What are you doing! The Sword Sect has raised you for so long, is this how you repay them?!"
The Grand Elder spoke first.
"Xie Zhou, it was absolutely the worst decision Ling Feng made to take you as his disciple! Look at the things you're doing now!"
An elder began to criticize Xie Zhou's actions.
The arrogant and domineering Pavilion Master Bai, who had just been saying he would kill Xie Zhou, now stood to the side, squinting at Xie Zhou, seemingly conflicted.
"Hahahaha! I can accept my master's cultivation of me, but what does the Sword Sect have to do with me?"
Xie Zhou couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing the elders' words.
"When I'm useful to you, you treat me to good food and drink, but once I'm no longer useful and you need a scapegoat, you immediately throw me out. Is this how your Sword Sect conducts itself?"
Xie Zhou burst out laughing.
"Indeed, I underestimated you. Now that you've driven me to this dead end, none of us will have an easy time!"
Xie Zhou's lips curled into a smile once again.
"Wait! Xie Zhou, there's still some misunderstanding here. Don't get agitated. Let's talk things out. Come here, put down the illusion stone you're holding, and let's discuss this properly!"
When the elder realized that his attempt to morally blackmail Xie Zhou from a moral high ground was futile, he lowered his stance and softened his tone.
"Shouldn't you ask Master Bai first?"
Although the elders and the others kept talking to Xie Zhou, Xie Zhou did not dare to let his guard down at all.
Standing to the side, Pavilion Master Bai was like a venomous snake, ready to launch a fatal attack on Xie Zhou at any moment.
"Pavilion Master Bai, you should also know that you can only restrict my movements, not the flow of spiritual energy within me. If you make any rash moves, we may perish together!"
Xie Zhou grinned and smiled at the White Pavilion Master.
"Xie Zhou, let's talk this out. There are thousands of disciples in the Sword Sect. You certainly don't want this place to be filled with bloodshed, right?"
The elder continued to persuade them, albeit reluctantly.
“Those who cultivate immortality must abstain from killing; you seem to know this principle.”
Xie Zhou snorted coldly.
"However, since I'm going to die anyway, I might as well take a few people down with me so I won't be alone on the road to the underworld. Don't you think so?"
Xie Zhou seemed to have no intention of making any compromises.
The elders, who were as cunning as old foxes, must have seen through Xie Zhou's thoughts.
"So what do you want?"
The elder took a deep breath, seemingly suppressing his inner rage.
"Tell that guy surnamed Bai to take his useless apprentice and get back home."
Xie Zhou glanced at the White Pavilion Master with a contemptuous look.
"Xie Zhou, we are talking to you politely. We hope you won't be ungrateful."
The Grand Elder's face grew even more gloomy.
"What? You'd rather the Sword Sect be destroyed than drive this uninvited guest who has barged into the Sword Sect out?"
Xie Zhou had completely lost faith in the Grand Elder and the others. Unconsciously, she clenched the Illusion Stone in her hand, her spiritual energy flowing through her body, ready at any moment.
The elders didn't say anything, but exchanged glances.
