As he watched Ouyang Jingfeng and the others return, Tianyuan Daoist's expression gradually darkened.
"As expected of you, Shangguan Jingming. I underestimated you after all... I will remember what happened today and seek an explanation from your Guanghan Palace another day!"
He clearly already knew that Shen Yunhao had been rescued by Ye Wushang, so there was no point in dwelling on it any longer.
In conclusion, today's loss not only resulted in the defeat of Daoist Qianhe, a Void Realm expert, but also branded Baihe Temple with the crime of colluding with the Blood Sect. In any case, this is undoubtedly a huge blow to the prestige of the righteous leader of the Taixuan Dao Sect.
Thinking of this, his already unpleasant expression became even more gloomy.
Ouyang Jingfeng narrowed his eyes and stepped forward. "Sect Master Tianyuan, do you not wish to give our fellow cultivators an explanation regarding the Blood Sect matter?"
On the way to hunt down Shen Yunhao, the Blood Sect Elder Guimu appeared. Combined with the refining purple vine found on Meng Qidong in Wanren City, and the fact that Shen Yunhao once said that Daoist Qianhe had obtained the Demon Vine Fragment, it would be too far-fetched to say that all of this was just a coincidence.
Daoist Tianyuan snorted coldly, "Rest assured! Whether it's Qianhe or Baihe Temple, I will investigate thoroughly and give all fellow Daoists a satisfactory explanation!"
Luo Yuchen crossed his arms and smiled faintly, "Is the Tianyuan Sect Master pretending to be stupid, or is he truly unaware? The Taixuan Dao Sect keeps saying that its feud with the Dark Abyss Demon Vine is a personal matter, so why is the Blood Sect involved in this feud? And how was that Ghost Wood able to foresee the future and set up an array at the entrance of the Dark Abyss to wait for its prey?"
Tianyuan Daoist immediately responded with a cold sneer: "Pavilion Master Luo's words are rather absurd. Who in the world doesn't know that the Blood Sect and the Dark Abyss Demon Vine have a long-standing feud? Hundreds of years ago, they even plotted to harm my Tai Xuan Dao Sect and Medicine King Valley! It's not surprising that they've jumped out to intercept and kill the Demon Vine. What does this have to do with my Tai Xuan Dao Sect? Does Pavilion Master Luo mean to say that I deliberately sent Ghost Wood here?"
Luo Yuchen immediately waved his hand, forcing a professional, dry laugh. "Oh dear, Sect Master Tianyuan, there's no need to be angry. I was just asking a question because I had some doubts. Please don't take it to heart..."
As a businessman, Luo Yuchen would never let himself be the one to rush to the front and bear all the firepower.
Moreover, she was well aware that with the current evidence alone, it was indeed a stretch to prove that the Tai Xuan Dao Sect colluded with the Blood Sect.
After all, Meng Qidong, Qianhe Daoist, and even Tianyuan Daoist in front of us cannot fully represent the entire Taixuan Dao Sect!
"If you have any doubts, you should ask the Blood Sect, not speculate here and question me!" Daoist Tianyuan paused for a moment, then changed the subject, "Moreover, the Dark Abyss Demon Vine, infected by the evil soul's blood energy, such a vicious and evil creature, was so easily let go by you! When the calamity returns one day, and all living beings are devastated, don't blame me for not warning you! Both the Demon Sect and the Demon Vine are malignant tumors and scourges on this continent that should be completely eradicated!"
After saying that, without waiting for anyone's response, he gave Shangguan Jingming a deep look, and then disappeared from the spot like ink spreading into water.
"This guy still has the same bad temper as always!"
After Tianyuan Daoist left, Luo Yuchen pouted and hummed twice in dissatisfaction.
Ouyang Jingfeng stared in the direction where Tianyuan Daoist had disappeared, remained silent for a long while, and then slowly spoke: "Based on my understanding of him, although he is stubborn and self-willed and not very likable, he values his reputation and orthodoxy extremely. Colluding with the Blood Sect, something that tarnishes the sect's reputation and is intolerable to the world, should not be something he would do, nor something he would tolerate..."
Upon hearing this, Master Gu of Lingyin Temple put his hands together and chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Amitabha! What Benefactor Ouyang said is very true. This old monk also believes that without solid evidence, we should not speculate on such uncertain matters. Otherwise, we are very likely to fall into the Blood Sect's schemes and only increase our troubles!"
Luo Yuchen rolled her eyes at Master Gu, "You bald monk, all you ever say is the same old things to smooth things over, is that it? Can't you come up with something new?"
"Amitabha!" Master Gu lowered his eyelids, as if in deep meditation, and did not argue with her.
Ouyang Jingfeng did not participate in their bickering. His gaze had already turned to the aloof figure not far away. His expression seemed to soften slightly, and his tone carried a hint of barely perceptible hesitation.
"Shangguan..."
Upon hearing the voice, Shangguan Jingming slightly turned her head to glance at him. Her exquisite face remained expressionless; she merely gave a polite nod as a greeting, and then said calmly:
"The Guanghan Palace will no longer be involved in the affairs of the Taixuan Dao Sect. Farewell!"
Before she finished speaking, ripples appeared around her, and she disappeared in the same way as Tianyuan Daoist.
As always, he was straightforward and unrestrained, sparing with his words...
Ouyang Jingfeng froze in mid-air, staring at the empty void, speechless for a moment.
"Pfft—!"
Luo Yuchen, standing nearby, couldn't help but burst out laughing. "You bumpkin! They don't even acknowledge you, yet you're still eagerly trying to get close to them... Tsk tsk tsk, our Grand Pavilion Master Ouyang is truly heartbreaking to hear and tearful to see!"
Ouyang Jingfeng's temple throbbed slightly, and his sword energy began to emanate uncontrollably once again. His voice was almost squeezed out from between his teeth:
"Luo Yuchen! Our battle will determine who is superior and who lives!"
Ke Luoyu's figure had already disappeared, waving goodbye as she left.
"Goodbye! This sect leader is too busy with business to fight with a sword maniac like you!"
...
Not far from the entrance to the Dark Abyss, in another void, the space rippled slightly, and two figures quietly emerged. They were none other than Poison Old Ghost and Mu Qingqing, who had disappeared after their previous confrontation.
They witnessed the entire process of Ye Wushang rescuing Shen Yunhao, and their expressions varied at this moment.
Mu Qingqing's captivating eyes sparkled with intense curiosity. She lightly touched her red lips with her jade-like finger and murmured to herself, "This little guy really always manages to surprise us. When did he get involved with the Demon Emperor? Shuangshuang never mentioned it..."
Overall, however, this investment seems to be more worthwhile than expected, and I would accept losing my daughter in the process.
As for Poison Old Ghost, his face was naturally ugly at this moment.
The fact that the Demon Vine was still alive was undoubtedly a devastating blow to him.
Not only did he not die, but his cultivation level also reached the half-step Tai Xu realm. Once a conflict breaks out, he will be no match for him.
After a moment of silence, the Poisonous Old Ghost flicked his sleeve, creating a gust of foul wind. "Palace Master Mu, now that you've seen the show, you should head back to your Scorpion Palace! Don't continue to show your face here, or you might get mistaken for a monster and killed by those high-ranking members of the righteous path!"
Without waiting for Mu Qingqing's response, he transformed into a distorted cloud of poisonous mist and vanished into the sky.
