The man spoke through gritted teeth, his eyes filled with anger as he looked at Shangguan Xi. But Shangguan Xi seemed completely oblivious. After her action, she sneered and said, "Do I need a reason to kill you? I'm killing you simply because I want to, because I think you deserve to die. Is that reason enough?"
Upon hearing this, the ancient clan man nodded repeatedly, grinning maliciously. The next second, he raised his hand to strike Shangguan Qitianling with a palm strike, but Nangong Yu saved her. When Nangong Yu realized what was happening, she knew that the ancient clan man would not let Shangguan Qitianling go. However, since she had already done this, there was no turning back. Turning back now would only mean trampling on her dignity first, then being repeatedly trampled on by the man in front of her, and finally losing her life.
When the ancient man realized he had failed to kill Shangguan Xi, he turned to look at Nangong Yu beside him. Nangong Yu had talked to him the most and would consider things from his perspective, so he had lifted the curse on Nangong Yu, which is why Nangong Yu is who he is today. Otherwise, Nangong Yu would never have been able to save Shangguan Xi. "You also want to betray me? Very well, you all want to betray me. Then go out and wait to die with that group of people!"
In the blink of an eye, everyone was outside, looking at the person in charge standing there. No one was quite clear about what had happened, but everyone knew the importance and seriousness of the matter.
When the group saw Xu Yuehuai and his group suddenly appear, they were all surprised. They pointed at them and said, "They must have a way. They can transmit it from that place. Maybe they're in cahoots with that group! Surround them and make them hand over their method!"
The group of people, armed with weapons, shouted slogans, causing chaos at the scene. Everyone was pushing and shoving towards Xu Yuehuai and his group. Xu Yuehuai looked at them with a cold, icy expression. The next second, someone recognized Xu Yuehuai and took a step back, trying to warn everyone, but the crowd was too large and no one could hear what he was saying.
The man watched this scene with great delight. He felt happy; since they didn't want to play with him, he would play with those who spouted morality and benevolence, and see how long they could endure in such an environment.
"You've got the wrong person. Get away! We don't have what you want. If you come any closer, I'll attack you." Shangguan Xi's face was filled with self-reproach. Things had developed to this point, which was not the ending she wanted at all. Tears streamed down her face as she tried to struggle, but after only a couple of attempts, the group pressed her down. They all felt that she was unwilling to share her methods with them, so they vented their anger on her. In an instant, they were surrounded and had no way to escape. Xu Yuehuai clasped her hands together, and the next second, a burst of spiritual power erupted from her body, repelling all the people surrounding them.
Everyone froze on the spot. It took several people a couple of seconds to come to their senses. When they looked at Xu Yuehuai, they looked at him as if he were a monster. Isn't someone who can do this a monster?
They exchanged glances, trying to find others to join them in attacking Xu Yuehuai and his group again. "Don't give up, everyone! They definitely have something we want on them. They're only acting like this because they're feeling guilty. Don't give up!"
Those who were just watching the spectacle and didn't mind the escalation were shouting. Some of them were so flustered by the scene that they just believed whatever others said and completely lost their ability to think for themselves.
Fortunately, Xu Yuehuai's words brought many people to their senses. "I'm telling you all to wake up. Don't get excited and rush in at the sight of everything. Don't wrong an innocent person."
Some people started speaking up for Xu Yuehuai and his group, trying to ease the tension. However, it was another matter how many people actually listened. Everyone was shouting and their faces were filled with madness. In an instant, all the spiritual energy attacks were unleashed, hitting people and causing them pain.
Xu Yuehuai leaped up, looking down at the people below who had lost their ability to think for themselves. "All of you, quiet down now! Calm down!"
Xu Yuehuai knew that the ancient clan man wanted to use this method to disintegrate everyone. Since he wanted to do this, they couldn't let him succeed. So when everyone was in chaos, someone had to lead them out of the encirclement.
Xu Yuehuai had no intention of being the first to speak out at this time, but now, apart from her, no one else was willing to step forward. After saying that, she flew towards the stage. Once there, she scanned the people present and calmly said, "This is all a conspiracy by the ancient clans. Everyone, stay calm, sit in your seats, and don't lose your temper or rush. Rushing won't solve anything now."
Xu Yuehuai's words reassured some people. Although some others still found the matter unbelievable, they could do nothing but trust Xu Yuehuai.
Meanwhile, on the other side, Sect Master Ning jumped onto the arena, holding a long sword in his hand, looking at Xu Yuehuai with a cold and piercing gaze. Xu Yuehuai was somewhat confused about what kind of trouble he was trying to cause here.
After a moment of hesitation, Sect Leader Ning arrogantly declared, "She's lying! I just had someone see her with the ancient clan members, and now she's here unharmed. She must be colluding with the ancient clan, otherwise why would they let you go!"
When the ancient man in the courtyard saw this scene, he sneered, his eyes filled with disdain as he looked at these humans. "Humans are really such selfish and self-serving people. They will do anything to achieve their goals. They are not human."
The black mist stirred, and Xu Yuehuai and Yuan Shui in front of her disappeared. She felt a strange sense of loss, as if something was missing from her heart.
When the man in the black cloak standing behind saw this scene, he was completely stunned and didn't know what to say to describe his shock and fear.
