Tianyuan Daoist looked down at the corpse of Qianhe Daoist in his hand.
The soul was completely extinguished, and the corpse began to stiffen unnaturally, with strange dark red patterns starting to appear on the surface of its skin...
Tianyuan Daoist frowned slightly, a hint of barely perceptible disgust flashing in his eyes, but he didn't say anything more. He simply flicked his hand, as if discarding a piece of trash, and put Qianhe Daoist's corpse into a storage magic artifact.
Then, his cold gaze slowly turned to the person opposite him.
Held tightly in Ning Yuyao's arms, Shen Yunhao weakly opened his eyes. Intense pain and exhaustion overwhelmed his consciousness like a tidal wave, but the mysterious golden threads within his body were operating at an unprecedented speed, repairing his shattered chest, broken arm bones, and damaged internal organs.
Seeing Ning Yuyao's face so close to his, Shen Yunhao was stunned for a moment, then forced an awkward smile, his voice hoarse, "Yao'er...you've come..."
"My husband..."
Seeing Shen Yunhao's miserable state, the little girl's previous temper had long since vanished, and her cold eyes were filled with tenderness.
"Cough cough... I'm fine..."
Shen Yunhao could sense the mysterious golden threads within his body repairing it, and turned to ask, "Old dog Qianhe, is he dead yet?"
He paid such a high price just to kill Qianhe Daoren.
If this still fails, then this last-ditch counterattack will be a complete disaster!
Ning Yuyao nodded upon hearing this.
She had already seen Daoist Qianhe's corpse being thrown into a storage artifact by Daoist Tianyuan.
If Daoist Qianhe hadn't died, it would have been almost impossible for any storage artifact to withstand the cultivation level of the Void Realm!
"Haha...that's good, we've made a profit this time! They deserved it for daring to bully my Zi'er!"
Upon hearing this, Shen Yunhao let out a long sigh of relief, forced himself to stand up from Ning Yuyao's embrace, raised his head, and fearlessly met Tianyuan Daoist's icy gaze, which was as solid as a physical object. He clasped his hands in a salute, his voice weak but incredibly clear.
"Junior Shen Yunhao greets Sect Master Tianyuan! Today's events were truly unavoidable. Daoist Qianhe had long been infiltrated by the Blood Sect and had become a spy for the Demonic Sect. He had repeatedly plotted to frame me and my sister. In order to protect myself and to stop him from continuing to harm the righteous path, I had no choice but to take such drastic measures. I hope Sect Master Tianyuan will investigate thoroughly, examine the Taixuan Dao Sect, and purge the remnants of the Blood Sect!"
Shen Yunhao knew, of course, that given Tianyuan Daoren's personality, there was no way he would let him off just because of these few words.
Hundreds of years ago, when Tianyuan Daoren led his men to Medicine King Valley to forcibly capture Mo Yan without distinguishing right from wrong, he saw through the style of this righteous leader.
But in the end, the other party is, after all, the sect leader of the number one righteous sect, and is most likely not a lackey of the Blood Sect.
He said these words mainly in the hope that the other party would be more vigilant about the sect's internal affairs after returning... He didn't like the Tai Xuan Dao Sect, but compared to that, the Blood Sect was still his biggest threat!
As expected, after listening, Tianyuan Daoist showed no emotion on his face, but simply took a step forward.
"boom--!"
A powerful aura, far more terrifying than that of Daoist Qianhe, suddenly erupted, unleashing the full force of a peak Void Realm expert, which concentrated on Shen Yunhao!
In an instant, Shen Yunhao felt as if several invisible mountains were pressing down on his head. The surrounding air became thick and sticky, and his bones made a creaking sound as if they could not bear the weight, almost causing him to kneel down on the spot.
This is Tianyuan Daoren's consistent style.
Regardless of right or wrong, we must first crush them with absolute strength and show the world the consequences of offending the Tai Xuan Dao Sect!
If it weren't for the fact that Shen Yunhao's body was still fused with the remaining power of Mo Yan, this pure pressure alone would have been enough to instantly kill an ordinary Soul Condensation Realm cultivator into a blood mist!
"Absurd!" Daoist Tianyuan snorted coldly, his tone calm yet carrying an unquestionable ultimate authority. "Colluding with the Dark Abyss Demon Vine, slaughtering my Tai Xuan Elder, and then framing you like this afterward—every crime you have committed is enough to reduce you to ashes!"
"Today, I will act on behalf of Heaven and erase you, along with that damned demonic vine within you, from this world!"
Shen Yunhao sighed inwardly. Although he had expected it, personally experiencing the power of Tianyuan Daoren still made him feel powerless.
Although this person's cultivation level is only half a level higher than that of Daoist Qianhe on the surface, his aura is simply incomparable!
Only with the help of Mo Yan, Kong Huan, and the mysterious golden thread within his body was he able to narrowly escape and replace Qian He Dao Ren.
But facing the unfathomable Tianyuan Daoist, he saw no chance of winning at all, and even the chance of hurting his opponent was extremely slim!
Thinking of this, he was about to use his last life-saving escape technique when he saw Ning Yuyao beside him take the lead and resolutely stand in front of him, spreading her arms to firmly protect Shen Yunhao behind her.
Facing the terrifying pressure of Tianyuan Daoren, which was as awe-inspiring and filled one with despair, the girl's cold eyes showed no fear. She remained calm as always, her face expressionless. However, her petite yet upright back conveyed an unwavering will.
If you want to touch Shen Yunhao, you'll have to step over her dead body first!
"Yao'er!"
Shen Yunhao's expression changed drastically!
With his various trump cards, he was confident that he could escape from Tianyuan Daoist's clutches, but Ning Yuyao did not have so many trump cards. Although she was exceptionally talented, she was ultimately only at the mid-stage of the Soul Condensation Realm!
Given Tianyuan Daoren's temperament, he might very well eliminate this future prodigy of Guanghan Palace without any mercy!
"Get out of here! I'll find a way to escape!"
However, Ning Yuyao remained unmoved upon hearing this. She slightly turned her head, her tone calm, yet carrying a stubbornness ingrained in her bones:
"Does my husband intend to divorce Yao'er?"
Shen Yunhao was taken aback.
Ning Yuyao turned back to face Tianyuan Daoist again, "As long as my husband hasn't issued the letter of divorce, Yao'er is still his lawfully wedded wife, and Yao'er... will not give way!"
"..."
Shen Yunhao opened his mouth, but was speechless for a moment.
On the other side, Nie Qingshuang and Murong Xi's expressions changed drastically upon seeing this scene.
Murong Xi hurriedly spoke up, "Sect Master Tianyuan, please show mercy! Yao'er is a core disciple of my Guanghan Palace and has no direct involvement in this matter..."
However, before she could finish speaking, Daoist Tianyuan casually waved his hand.
"Buzz!"
An invisible barrier appeared out of thin air, like a transparent glass city wall, which actually blocked the two Palace Masters of Guanghan Palace who were in the early stage of Void Realm!
The difference in strength is obvious!
The cold, sharp smile on Tianyuan Daoist's lips gradually spread, forming an indifferent smile that seemed to look down upon all living beings and control life and death.
His gaze slowly swept over the group of righteous sect leaders who were hovering and watching in the distance. His tone was calm, yet it was like a thunderclap from the heavens, resounding throughout the world.
"Today, I'm putting my words here!"
"Whoever dares to make a move, protect this child..."
"This is... a declaration of war against my Tai Xuan Dao Sect!"
"At that time... don't blame me for being ruthless and settling everything down with them!"
