The Yama Holy Lord Arrived in Person

Everyone was completely stunned.

His face looked pale.

It was as if they had never imagined that the usually powerful Holy Lord would utter such humble words today.

Everyone felt that their passionate pledge to fight had been like punching cotton.

"Your Majesty, if I may be so bold as to ask, why are you so afraid of the Dragon-Seeking Sect?"

"That's right. If it were decades ago, when the old man from the previous generation was still Dragon-Seeking Sect, we might have let it go. But now the one in charge of the sect is just a young upstart, all show and no substance. Why do you have any concerns?"

"I refuse to accept this..."

"Holy Lord, we are not convinced."

As the clamor grew louder, the old man in yellow robes, who had remained silent until now, finally spoke up, "Holy Lord, if you cannot provide a reason, you will indeed fail to convince the masses."

After the old man in yellow spoke, everyone looked at the Yama Holy Lord, awaiting his reply.

The old man in yellow was one of the four elders, highly respected and virtuous, and even the Yama Holy Lord did not dare to boss him around.

The four elders possess the right to jointly abolish the Holy Lord.

"You all know my temper. Under normal circumstances, let alone a sect like the Dragon-Seeking Sect with only a thousand-year history, I wouldn't be afraid of even the Heavenly Lake Holy Land in the Central Province!"

The Yama Holy Lord slowly spoke, "But now, the truth of the matter is not what you think."

One word fell.

Everyone was filled with doubt.

Is there something more to this than meets the eye?

"Sect Leader Chen of the Dragon-Seeking Sect not only committed no wrongdoing in killing Venerable Huang, but also, by a twist of fate, did my Holy Sect a favor."

The Yama Holy Lord revealed a look of reminiscence and slowly began to recount his story.

"Just the day before yesterday, I discovered that the sect's treasure, the mid-grade Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact [Essence-Shaking Cauldron], had been stolen. The thief was none other than Venerable Huang. Not only that, Venerable Huang also colluded with Dongfang Shao, the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion, to betray our Holy Sect. He planned to plunder Spirit Province and then take the elites of the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion to You Province to join the Devil Race. Therefore, Sect Leader Sect Leader Chen of the Dragon-Seeking Sect has essentially helped our Holy Sect eliminate a traitor."

After hearing this, everyone gasped in surprise.

"How could that be? Venerable Huang is of high status, why would he do this?"

"If what the Holy Lord says is true, then if this matter gets out, my Yama Holy Sect will lose all face."

The Yama Holy Lord's eyes darted around, and he said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, I was also furious when I learned of this matter. I could only choose this compromise in order to prevent this scandal from spreading. Compared to apologizing to the Dragon-Seeking Sect, or having the high-ranking elders betray the Devil Race and join the Demon Clan, you should all be able to weigh which is more important."

At this moment, the old man in yellow spoke up, "Holy Lord, is there any evidence to prove that Venerable Huang has betrayed the sect and defected to the Devil Race?"

"Of course."

The Yama Holy Lord calmly stated, "Everyone from the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion can testify to this. Furthermore, I left Essence Power imprint on the Essence-Shaking Cauldron. The aura emanating from the Essence-Shaking Cauldron is currently located in the Peach Blossom Spring Mountain Range of Spirit Province, which proves that Sect Leader Chen obtained this treasure from Venerable Huang."

The power of the Yama Holy Lord soul was released, causing everyone's hearts to tremble.

They could all sense that fluctuation of aura.

"It's true!"

"Venerable Huang actually betrayed the sect and stole treasures! I never expected him to be this kind of person!"

"Hmph! I'm furious! I'm furious! But in that case, we should be thanking Sect Leader Chen for his great kindness and virtue."

"That's right, Sect Leader Chen acted righteously, killing Venerable Huang —no, I mean, killing that Devil Huang! He rid our sect of a traitor, and we should be friends forever!"

The Yama Holy Lord looked around at everyone, then laughed and said, "This matter must not be publicized. If our Holy Sect were to offer a reward to the Dragon-Seeking Sect, wouldn't that just prove that our sect has a traitor who has defected to the Devil Race? Therefore, we can only find another pretext to offer our apology!"

"As expected, the Holy Lord is wiser. Even if an apology damages his prestige, it won't fundamentally harm the sect. Compared to the sect having a traitor defect to the Devil Race, this is actually a better solution that kills two birds with one stone."

"Wonderful! Wonderful!"

The group discussed it for a while.

The Yama Holy Lord secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, he had made preparations beforehand; otherwise, it would have been very difficult for him to get away with it today.

He used Secret Method to alter the memories of some of the people in the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion.

This confirms that Venerable Huang has defected to the Devil Race Clan.

As for the Essence-Shaking Cauldron, he personally handed it over to Venerable Huang when they met.

Now it has become irrefutable evidence.

Dead people cannot speak.

The only recourse is to throw the dirty water on him.

The old man in yellow robes even got up himself and went to the few people from the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion who had been brought back earlier. After probing their Divine Sense, he found that they were consistent with what the Holy Lord had said.

Enraged, he immediately killed the members of the Heavenly Extremity Pavilion.

"My Lord, to prevent any leaks, the entire Heavenly Extremity Pavilion should be wiped out completely."

An elder made a suggestion.

A consensus was quickly reached.

The Yama Holy Lord did not speak, but this signified his tacit approval.

During this time, he also secretly glanced at the old man in yellow, knowing that the matter was finally over.

Currently, three of the four elders are in seclusion.

The old man in yellow was quite old and the dumbest of them all.

The Yama Holy Lord was secretly delighted, but outwardly remained calm and composed.

Not long after, he arrived at the teleportation array of the Yama Holy Sect and personally made a trip to Spirit Province.

At the same time, he also needed to verify what Wang Feng's situation really was.

Vermilion Bird Peak.

In the past two days, Chen Ning noticed something.

Deacon Wang Feng is probably ill.

I haven't noticed he's been in a good mental state lately.

As the chief steward of Vermilion Bird Peak, he had handled all matters, big and small, in an orderly manner.

Although he was a bit bald, he looked radiant and full of energy.

But these past two days, he seems like a completely different person.

He was completely listless and dispirited.

Chen Ning felt that now that he had firmly secured his position as sect leader, he should show more consideration and care for his subordinates.

Compared to elders who hold high positions.

These public servants, these dedicated and hardworking individuals, deserve more attention.

So he came here intending to visit them.

"Sect Leader Brother."

Su Ling'er followed from a distance.

"What's wrong? Didn't I tell you to go to the herb hall to fetch some medicinal herbs? Deacon Wang is seriously ill and can't be delayed."

Chen Ning patted the little girl's head and said.

"Sect Leader, there's something urgent. The Yama Holy Lord has arrived in Spirit Province, and the elders have already gone there and are waiting for you."

"Okay, I understand. However, Deacon Wang is so ill; I need to examine him as soon as things are settled over there."

Chen Ning said seriously.

At this moment, Wang Feng, who was hiding behind the door, was greatly shocked when he heard that the Yama Holy Lord had arrived in person, and collapsed to the ground.

Hearing the noise, Chen Ning pushed open the door and became even more anxious upon seeing Deacon Wang's sickly state.

"Alright then, Deacon Wang, you will come with me to meet with the Yama Holy Lord. After the meeting, I will immediately prepare medicine and refine pills for you."

Although I don't know what illness Deacon Wang has, I have the impression that there are several second-grade pills that would be quite suitable.

When Wang Feng heard Chen Ning say that he was going to take him to see the Yama Holy Lord, he was immediately moved.

He hurriedly and weakly shook his head.

"No... no..."

But seeing this, Chen Ning had no intention of listening to him.

"Deacon Wang, don't worry about causing me any trouble, it's just a small matter."

Chen Ning helped the other person up, and the three of them left together.

If someone were to look closely, they would notice that Wang Feng's toes were gripping the ground tightly.
