The Six Paths Demonic Sect ranks fourth in the demonic path, second only to the Corpse God Sect. The one roaring at the Six Paths Demonic Sect Four Great Families is Yuan Jiukui, the Six Paths Demonic Sect's chief representative present. He is a formidable figure in the demonic path, known for his fighting prowess and volatile temper. Although the Six Paths Demonic Sect's overall strength is inferior to other top-ranked sects, Yuan Jiukui's personal strength is certainly no weaker than that of the others present.

"Who injured my disciple? Come out and confess!" Yuan Jiukui roared again. He had rushed out to investigate after hearing that his disciple had been attacked. Although the disciple hadn't seen clearly who had done it, he had been told it was someone from one of the Four Great Families, leading Yuan Jiu Kui to conclude that it was someone from those Four Great Families. With all the sects gathered at this crucial moment, for a disciple to be attacked was a loss of face. Moreover, the Six Paths Demonic Sect had no reason to fear the Four Great Families; naturally, they wanted to regain their dignity.

The faces of the Four Great Families all changed. This was clearly aimed at the Four Great Families. As a direct descendant of Bi Changchun, Bi Shan naturally could not let Yue Qianchou come out to take the blame. Just as he was about to stand up and confront him, he was pressed down by Yue Qianchou behind him.

Yue Qianchou slowly stood up. He had been pleased to hear that no one had seen who made the move and was prepared to remain silent. However, the other party was practically insulting the Four Great Families. If it were any other sect, he would have pretended not to know anything, but the Four Great Families were related to him and would be of great help in the future, so he couldn't afford to disappoint them.

"I hit him," Yue Qianchou honestly admitted.

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately showed expressions of certainty. They were wondering why the Four Great Families, who had always maintained neutrality and self-preservation and never clashed with any sect, would resort to violence at this juncture. It was Yue Qianchou, that madman; that explained it all.

"It's you?" Yuan Jiukui was slightly taken aback, then anger welled up inside him. He pointed his finger and shouted, "Yue Qianchou, don't think you can act recklessly in the Cultivation World just because you have some bandit reputation. People give you some face, but you really think you're something special. I, Yuan Jiukui, have never taken a clown like you seriously. A rogue like you dares to act like a fool in front of my Six Paths Demonic Sect..."

"Brother Yuan, calm down, calm down." Chou Wuyuan flashed over and pulled Yuan Jiukui aside, repeatedly trying to comfort him.

"Chou Wuyuan, get out of my way!" Yuan Jiukui swung his arm, turned around, and pointed at Chou Wuyuan's nose, cursing, "I've often heard that you and this little scoundrel are like brothers. It's because of people like you that this kind of scoundrel can run rampant in the Cultivation World. Don't call me 'brother' anymore, lest you offend my ears. Get out of my way!"

His words resonated with the hearts of everyone present. Although Yue Qianchou was causing a ruckus in the Cultivation World, to be honest, these were all sects that had stood strong in the Cultivation World for many years, and very few of them truly respected Yue Qianchou. If it weren't for the ambiguous attitude of Fu Xian Island and Myriad Demon Palace towards Yue Qianchou. How could he have remained alive and kicking until now? Moreover, now there were four Four Great Families backing Yue Qianchou up.

Yuan Jiukui's words were a wake-up call for Yue Qianchou. Looking at the other leaders from various sects present, almost everyone wore a hint of disdain in their eyes, clearly agreeing with Yuan Jiukui's assessment. Yue Qianchou suddenly understood his place in the Cultivation World. His sudden attack outside the door might have stemmed from a subconscious "I'm a thug, who cares?" mentality, thinking he was powerful. In reality, those with some standing in the major sects looked down on him. He was only good at intimidating lowly disciples with weak cultivation.

"How dare you!" Just as Yuan Jiukui told Chou Wuyuan Wu Yuan to get out of the way, four loud shouts rang out, and the Demon Family Four Generals, clad in black animal skin coats, flashed over, surrounding Yuan Jiukui. Yuan Jiukui glanced left and right, letting out a cold snort. Immediately, nine people sprang out from the crowd sitting cross-legged on the ground, surrounding the Demon Family Four Generals as well. These people were clearly from the Six Paths Demonic Sect.

"When I was roaming the world, you four were still slaves under Yan Wuchen. Now you dare to yell at me? You've really gone too far." Yuan Jiukui sneered, then waved to the nine people from the Six Paths Demonic Sect and shouted, "Get out of here. Today I want to see what the Demon Family Four Generals of the Myriad Demon Palace are capable of."

The domineering aura of the demonic overlord was clearly revealed in just a few words. Everyone clicked their tongues slightly, realizing that Yuan Jiukui intended to deal with the Demon Family Four Generals single-handedly. The people from the Six Paths Demonic Sect didn't say anything and withdrew as instructed. Even after being called slaves, the Demon Family Four Generals maintained their cold expressions, showing no anger whatsoever, but a chilling killing intent was already subtly emanating from them.

Chou Wuyuan wasn't exactly known for his good temper, but his expression changed briefly before returning to normal. He immediately shouted, "Nonsense! All of you, get out of here!" Upon hearing this, the Demon Family Four Generals immediately flashed behind him without the slightest hesitation.

"Brother Yuan, calm down. Let's talk things out. There's Chou Wuyuan was already being very respectful by saying such a thing after being scolded. Otherwise, given the status of the Myriad Demon Palace in the demonic path, there was no reason for them to be afraid of Yuan Jiukui.

"Yes! With a formidable enemy at hand, we should hold off on internal strife for now!" Wen Zhongping of the Blood Demon Palace had originally wanted to watch the Myriad Demon Palace's drama unfold. Seeing that Chou Wuyuan had actually backed down, he knew he couldn't stand watching this show any longer, so he stepped forward to say some nice things. After all, the righteous faction was even more interested in seeing the demonic path's drama unfold than he was; if the demonic path could enjoy the spectacle, the Righteous Path would have no chance.

Seeing Ziyi Yue Qianchou somewhat dazed after being scolded, Elder Bi! She stood up and slowly walked towards Yuan Jiukui. The entire place instantly fell silent. Yuan Jiukui turned around alertly, his pupils shrinking sharply. He immediately turned back and assumed a defensive stance. He could look Yue Qianchou, but he dared not underestimate Ziyi. This mysterious woman had single-handedly dealt with seven experts at the late Tribulation Transcendence stage Realm. He knew he was no match for her, but he couldn't let down the reputation of the Six Paths Demonic Sect.

Chou Wuyuan and Wen Zhongping exchanged bewildered glances. This woman was no ordinary person; her background was shrouded in mystery, and they had no idea what her temperament was like. The two were momentarily at a loss for what to do.

"A scoundrel is a scoundrel, actually having to rely on a woman to stand up for him." Yuan Jiukui glanced at Yue Qianchou and sneered.

"Elder, watch your mouth! What's wrong with women?" a woman's voice rang out. On the open ground, ten white-robed disciples of the Wangyue Sect stood up. The woman at the head of the group flashed forward; it was none other than Hua Yinyue, an elder of the Wangyue Sect. Hua Yinyue had already received a message from Fairy Qionghua, instructing her to do her utmost to protect Yue Qianchou and Ziyi. Yuan Jiukui's words had finally given her an excuse.

The righteous sects were all taken aback. How had things gotten so complicated? They had only wanted to see the demonic path make a fool of itself, but now even the righteous sects were involved. In a flash, they all realized that Yue Qianchou and Ziyi were members of the Cultivation Alliance that the Wangyue Sect had guarantored them to join. The Wangyue Sect was using this as an excuse to make trouble!

Fu Xian Island and Wangyue Sect have always had a good relationship, and Quan Deming couldn't sit still any longer. He flashed between the two groups and advised, "Gentlemen, let's talk things out. Don't be impulsive. The matter of dealing with Yan Bugui's challenge hasn't been decided yet. If we start fighting amongst ourselves, won't we just become a laughing stock for outsiders?"

Yuan Jiukui was taken aback when he was surrounded by a group of women.

"Ziyi, come back." Yue Qianchou's voice attracted everyone's attention. He stepped forward, bowed deeply to Yuan Jiukui, and said, "Senior Yuan, please calm down. I was just being reckless. Please forgive me."

He's figured it out now. He knows when to humble himself; otherwise, it'll be hard to integrate into this circle, and without integrating, opportunities to make money will be scarce. He has to endure his discomfort now, but once he has the strength, dealing with whoever he wants will be a simple matter of a word.

Upon hearing his words, the various factions were immediately puzzled. This madman was always unforgiving when he gained the upper hand, and with the appearance of Ziyi and the others, it was clear that he had already won. Yet, he was actually coming out to sincerely apologize, which was quite unexpected. Chou Wuyuan Yue Qianchou with flickering eyes, wondering if he had seen things wrong.

His attitude was commendable, but he had crippled a disciple of the Six Paths Demonic Sect, so it was impossible for him to let it go with just an apology. Yuan Jiukui glared at him and said, "Do you really think you can just let this go with a single sentence?"

"I wonder what I should do to appease your anger, senior?" Yue Qianchou asked respectfully.

Yuan Jiukui's gaze slowly shifted to his leg, and he said in a deep voice, "I won't say anything else. You broke the left leg of one of my disciples. If you can break your own left leg, I can give the sect an explanation when I return. I can also guarantee that the Six Paths Demonic Sect will treat this matter as if it never happened."

Upon hearing this, the members of the Four Great Families all stood behind Yue Qianchou, glaring angrily at Yuan Jiukui. A mere disciple with low cultivation dared to try and exchange the leg of their Old Ancestor's personally taught disciple for his own leg! If this were to happen, they would never return to the Four Great Families. Ziyi Yi watched Yue Qianchou expressionlessly, ready to act at his signal. The members of the other sects also felt that Yuan Jiukui's condition was too harsh, bordering on ungrateful.

Sure enough, Yue Qianchou's face darkened instantly. He touched his nose, looked around at everyone, and sneered, "It's not difficult for me to break my own leg, but I have a question for you all. Although the Four Great Families and I arrived a little late, and you all provoked and insulted us at the entrance, that's one thing, since we were the ones who were impolite first." As he spoke, he suddenly turned and pointed at Yuan Jiukui, shouting, "But what right does a disciple of your Six Paths Demonic Sect have to spit in my face in public? If I were to spit in your face, Yuan Jiukui, would you take action? I'm afraid you would even want to kill me?"

"Is that so? That's really asking for a beating!" The crowd immediately started whispering among themselves. They had indeed heard the commotion outside, with people provoking and insulting the Four Great Families. Considering the chaotic situation, it was quite possible that some mischievous disciples might have been spewing nonsense.

Yuan Jiukui was taken aback upon hearing this. How had it suddenly become that his Six Paths Demonic Sect had failed in its duties and caused trouble first? But thinking about it, it seemed quite possible. He paused, then said somewhat uncertainly, "That's unlikely!"

Heh heh! I've never been afraid of anyone when it comes to reason! Yue Qianchou Yue Qianchou around and sneered, "I know that many people misunderstand me, which has caused my reputation in the Cultivation World to be not very good. But I am not a heartless person. Why would I randomly grab someone and beat them for no reason? My words alone are not enough to prove anything. If Senior Yuan does not believe me, you may summon the disciple who was beaten. I can confront him face to face, and the truth will naturally become clear!"
