Everyone Gets to Show Off, While Only Xinghe Takes a Beating

Wang Daoquan personally went to Tianrun City.

They arrived at the Vast Heaven Sect's temporary base in Tianrun City.

Wang Daoquan felt like he'd been screwed over.

The issuance of the Haotian Token and the Martial Emperor Token by the Vast Heaven Sect and Martial Emperor City is something that hasn't happened in many years.

Even the Ten Great Sects would not dare to be negligent in this matter.

However, to be honest, not all sects are 100% committed.

There are definitely plenty of people paddling along too.

However, to his misfortune, Chu Xinghe ended up appearing in Tianrun City.

In this way, we won't know whether others are slacking off or not.

Your Jade Void Palace really slacked off, and you even got caught red-handed.

Is it said that Liu Toad of the Jade Void Palace covets Haotian Battle Intent?

Even if Wang Daoquan didn't believe it, outsiders would just laugh it off if word got out.

Who is that Liu Toad? How dare he covet Haotian Battle Intent?

But is that the key point?

Chu Xinghe appeared in Tianrun City, which is within the sphere of influence of the Jade Void Palace Tianrun City. However, the elders and disciples of the Jade Void Palace who are in charge of Tianrun City not only failed to find Chu Xinghe, but some even did not recognize him at Chu Xinghe and even fought with him.

This caused a hornet's nest to be stirred up in the Jade Void Palace.

After the news spread, various sects condemned Jade Void Palace for showing such disrespect to the Vast Heaven Sect and Martial Emperor City.

What happened to the promise of the Ten Great Sects being closely united?

How dare your Jade Void Palace outwardly comply while inwardly defying us?

The Ten Great Sects criticized Jade Void Palace because Jade Void Palace was at the bottom of the rankings.

Besides the Ten Great Sects, some other powerful sects also didn't let Jade Void Palace, jumping out one by one to condemn it vehemently.

They even said things like Jade Void Palace wasn't qualified to be one of the Ten Great Sects.

Wang Daoquan's tears fell.

Everyone else was slacking off, so why should our Jade Void Palace bear all the blame in the end?

Is feeling uncomfortable even helpful?

The Vast Heaven Sect and Martial Emperor City are clearly making an example of someone.

Trying to reason with the Vast Heaven Sect? Does the Jade Void Palace even have the right to do that?

Even if the Vast Heaven Sect actually listened to you, would the Jade Void Palace dare to reason with you?

What are you saying? That everyone else is just slacking off, and that my Jade Void Palace was just unlucky enough to get caught?

It would have been better if we hadn't said it. Now that we have, won't we be attacked by the crowd?

Therefore, Wang Daoquan, the master of the Jade Void Palace, suffered in silence, but could only bury his bitterness deep inside.

"Wang Daoquan of the Jade Void Palace requests an audience with Sect Leader Gu. This is Jade Void Palace's first act of apology."

Wang Daoquan waved his hand, and the disciples of the Jade Void Palace behind him carried up a huge box. When the box was opened, countless people gasped.

Human heads... This box is full of human heads.

The heads of Liu Toad and his son Liu Chong were piled on top, below which were the heads of countless women of different ages.

"Liu Jingkuo has been bewitched by the Demonic Sect. The Jade Void Palace will not tolerate this. This is the death sentence for Liu Jingkuo and his entire family."

Wang Daoquan presented the box containing the bloodied human head to Gu Mingchao.

Gu Mingchao stared coldly at Wang Daoquan without saying a word.

Clearly, Gu Mingchao was not satisfied with this explanation.

Wang Daoquan waved his hand again, and disciples of the Jade Void Palace carried up countless boxes. The boxes were opened one after another, and the courtyard was filled with high-grade spirit stones that shimmered with a faint light.

"Two hundred years ago, with the help of the Vast Heaven Sect, Jade Void Palace became Ten Great Sects in the world. Jade Void Palace has never forgotten that the ancestors of the Vast Heaven Sect once sponsored Jade Void Palace with one million high-grade spirit stones. Today, Jade Void Palace repays the debt with spirit stones."

Only after Wang Daoquan said this did the coldness on Gu Mingchao's face finally ease a little.

What use are Liu Toad's entire family's heads? Does the Vast Heaven Sect even care?

What Vast Heaven Sect cares about is the attitude of your Jade Void Palace.

Isn't our attitude clear now?

Back then, the Vast Heaven Sect sponsored the Jade Void Palace, and the Jade Void Palace became one of the Ten Great Sects in the world thanks to the Vast Heaven Sect's support. Although the initial sponsorship might not have been that many spirit stones... it's understandable that the Jade Void Jade Void Palace would repay the kindness, right?

"Daoquan... come, come... sit down, sit down, what are you doing? Aren't you making yourself a laughingstock?"

Gu Mingchao personally invited Wang Daoquan to sit down.

Wang Daoquan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

A million high-grade spirit stones might empty the Jade Void Palace, but it could appease the Vast Heaven Sect's anger, and at least the Jade Void Palace could retain its position among the Ten Great Sects.

If they don't hand over these million spirit stones, Vast Heaven Sect will absolutely not let Jade Void Palace go.

"Sect Leader Gu, the actions of my Jade Void Palace this time have truly made me ashamed."

Wang Daoquan was in tears. That was a million spirit stones... and all of them were top-grade. Jade Void Palace was not like Vast Heaven Sect; how many years would it take them to raise that much again?

"What's done is done, let's not dwell on it... Prepare a banquet, today I will drink freely with Daoquan..."

The banquet was held, and Gu Mingchao drank heartily...

But Wang Daoquan didn't feel like he had drunk anything at all.

This drinking party must be the most expensive in the world, costing a million top-grade spirit stones... Just thinking about it makes my heart bleed.

Gu Mingchao was greeting Wang Daoquan, while Chu Xinghe was surrounded by his fellow disciples who had come from all over the country.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, are you alright now...?"

"I was shocked when I heard that Senior Brother Xinghe had fifty-eight wounds."

"Junior Brother Xinghe, your actions within the Demonic Sect have spread far and wide. Your wisdom and courage are truly exemplary, making you a role model for us all."

The crowd surrounded Chu Xinghe, each offering their own opinion, while ignoring his injuries and such.

Are Saint Healing Pill? You don't even need a whole bottle. One pill and Chu Xinghe is smooth and flawless. You can't even see a scar, let alone any injury.

As for what his fellow disciples said about the behavior within the Demonic Sect, Chu Xinghe felt ashamed...

You only know the "why" but not the "why"...

If you knew the specifics of what happened back then, you'd be lucky if you didn't torture me to death by a thousand cuts by now.

Was I exceptionally clever? Was I courageous and resourceful?

I genuinely wanted to betray the sect.

But even if I were to tell someone now, they'd have to believe me.

Those Demonic Shadow Sect disciples cursed Chu Xinghe as a despicable and shameless traitor until their very deaths.

The harsher the Demonic Shadow Sect's insults, the more they must hate them. Under such circumstances, who could believe they were betraying the sect?

Zheng Yu arrived shortly afterward.

"Senior Brother Xinghe, Zheng Yu thanks Senior Brother Xinghe for giving me a second chance at life."

Zheng Yu had already heard about the series of events that had occurred after Chu Xinghe was arrested.

Only now did Zheng Yu realize that Senior Brother Xinghe was not only loyal, but also wise.

Honestly, if I were the one who got arrested, could I be as flexible and resilient as Senior Brother Xinghe?

Could he possibly avoid any physical suffering, instead gaining the trust of the Demonic Sect and ultimately betraying and killing the Devil Venerable?

Zheng Yu felt that not only could she not do it, but she was afraid she wouldn't even be able to save her own life.

Therefore, Senior Brother Xinghe is truly a person of great wisdom.

Zheng Yu used to always think about how to defeat Senior Brother Xinghe, but this time Zheng Yu was truly convinced.

Not only in terms of cultivation level, but also in every other aspect, Zheng Yu was completely convinced.

Zheng Yu was particularly shocked when he heard that after Senior Brother Xinghe killed the Devil Venerable, he single-handedly slew countless Fifth Rank Demonic Sect, and despite suffering fifty-eight wounds, he still managed to fight his way in and out seven times.

Senior Brother Xinghe, with his peak Fourth Rank strength, can kill Fifth Rank as easily as slaughtering dogs. What terrifying strength that is!

Although I possess the Seven-Colored Glazed Body and have reached the Fourth Rank, let alone a group of Fifth Rank Demonic Sect, I could only barely defeat one of them.

Compared to this, Zheng Yu felt even more ashamed.

However, Zheng Yu was grateful to God that Senior Brother Xinghe had not suffered any major injuries; otherwise, he would probably have lived with guilt for the rest of his life.

Even so, Zheng Yu still felt that her life was given to her by her Senior Brother Xinghe.

My parents gave me life, but my Senior Brother Xinghe gave me a second life.

After seeing off the weeping Zheng Yu, Chu Xinghe learned some of the subsequent events from his fellow disciples.

Jade Void Palace delivered a million spirit stones and the heads of Liu Toad's entire family, but Chu Xinghe had absolutely no interest in Liu Toad's head.

This thing can't be used to make bullfrog stew, what's the point?

But a million spirit stones... just thinking about it makes me feel terrible.

The sect made a killing again with a million spirit stones.

The spirit stones and the Divine Stone-Pointing Art that he had handed over were all returned to their rightful owners.

After all, after the Devil Venerable died, he killed so many people, and the remaining people didn't even have time to pack their belongings and escape before the Vast Heaven Sect arrived and surrounded them.

Apart from a portion of the spirit stones absorbed by Meng Yong while cultivating the Haotian Battle Intent, all the spirit stones were taken. Not only the spirit stones he handed over, but all the good things Meng Yong had collected over the years were also taken by the Vast Heaven Sect.

By this calculation, not only did we not lose money, but we actually made a huge profit.

At the same time, only a very few people have seen the Divine Stone-Pointing Art, and all those who have seen it are gone. So the sect really didn't suffer any losses this time.

Everyone's showing off, whether human or ghost, but I'm the only one getting beaten up?

Just as Chu Xinghe was feeling extremely frustrated, another piece of news came from outside, and when he heard it, Chu Xinghe almost vomited blood.

The message came from the Demonic Shadow Sect.

The Demonic Emperor Wu Xingyun released a message stating that the Demonic Shadow Sect was unaware of Chu Xinghe's abduction and that it was not Wu Xingyun by him.

Rather, it was Meng Yong's doing in private, and the Demonic Sect was completely unaware of it!

Good heavens, this news has caused a stir everywhere.

Has the Demonic Shadow Sect backed down?

For so many years, various factions have fought against the Demonic Shadow Sect. Even when the Demonic Shadow Sect was defeated, they all shouted, "I will definitely come back!"

Classic villain quotes.

No matter how badly the Demonic Shadow Sect lost, they never admitted defeat.

But this time...

The Demonic Shadow Sect actually claimed that it wasn't them who did it, but rather that it was Meng Yong's personal act.

To be honest, although the Demonic Emperor is a villain, the various sects are somewhat familiar with him. Wu Xingyun is the type to say whatever comes to mind.

Since he said it wasn't the work of the Demonic Shadow Sect, then it definitely wasn't.

But now that things have come to this... does it even matter?

The day after the news broke, Gu Mingchao made a statement.

This incident has touched a nerve with the Vast Heaven Sect Demonic Shadow Sect, and the Vast Heaven Sect will definitely not let it go. At the same time, experts from the Vast Heaven Sect and various factions from the Martial Emperor City have begun to gather in Tianrun City.

Their target is none other than the Demonic Shadow Sect Demonic Shadow City!

Chu Xinghe was overjoyed when he heard the news.

Here it comes! The opportunity has finally arrived!

The Vast Heaven Sect is about to engage in a bloody battle with the Demonic Shadow Sect... Even if the Vast Heaven Sect is exceptionally strong, the Demonic Shadow Sect is no pushover. It's impossible for the Vast Heaven Sect to avoid losses in this battle... So, in the end, I still succeeded?
