No Cultivation, No Pursuit of Immortality-Just Factional Strife

"Junior Brother Li, what's going on?"

At that moment, Liu Muyu had no idea what had happened in front of the main hall. Seeing Li Tianwei approach him so calmly, as light as drifting clouds and gentle winds, he naturally had to ask.

He had assumed that other elders of the sacred land had discovered what was happening here and come to deal with it.

Liu Muyu looked calm, while Li Tianwei sized him up with eyes that seemed to see through everything.

"Liu Muyu, stop pretending."

Li Tianwei did not waste words and said it outright.

Liu Muyu's heart immediately skipped a beat. Was it possible that Lingxu Sacred Land had uncovered his identity as a spy? Had Baiyuan Sacred Land betrayed him?

Even so, Liu Muyu maintained a calm expression on the surface.

"Junior Brother Li, why can't I understand what you're saying?"

Though Liu Muyu said this, his gaze kept sweeping through the entire main hall, trying to find the elder or someone else who had come to handle the matter.

In his eyes, the two Nascent Soul Elders who had suddenly attacked him earlier must have been dealt with by experts from Lingxu Sacred Land.

As for Li Tianwei having resolved what had just happened, Liu Muyu did not even dare entertain the thought.

"Fine. Tell me, aside from these Evil Demons, what other Evil Demons do you know of within Lingxu Sacred Land?"

Seeing Liu Muyu prepare to argue his way out of it, Li Tianwei spread his hands and questioned him directly.

Liu Muyu was even more bewildered. What Evil Demons? What were those? Wasn't he being exposed as a spy?

In an instant, Liu Muyu thought of the two strange elders from earlier, as well as those disciples.

"Li Tianwei, what do you mean? I have no idea what you're talking about."

"Don't think I'm afraid of you just because you achieved Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days and became Bai Muxu's disciple."

"By seniority, I'm still your senior brother! Leaving everything else aside, my realm is a full level above yours. You'd better show the basic respect you owe me."

Liu Muyu roared in fury, spiritual power erupting from his body as though he were about to fight Li Tianwei.

He was trying to use this method to force out the mastermind behind Li Tianwei.

Yet the moment Liu Muyu's power erupted, the surviving disciples in the previously quiet main hall could not help looking at him with shock and the gazes one gave a dead man.

It was as though they were asking, How did you dare? Who gave you the courage?

After all, these disciples had personally witnessed Li Tianwei crush a Nascent Soul Evil Demon.

Faced with those strange looks, the disciples who had previously fawned over him now avoided him like the plague. Liu Muyu suddenly felt that something was terribly wrong.

But he had no idea what exactly was wrong, because he simply did not know what had happened while he was unconscious.

Nor could he know what horrifying sight the survivors in the main hall had witnessed.

"Hm..."

Seeing Liu Muyu look as if he wanted to attack him, Li Tianwei was somewhat surprised.

But in Liu Muyu's eyes, Li Tianwei was clearly afraid.

Thus, he formed a hand seal, and liquid Golden Core spiritual power emerged.

"Li Tianwei, I'll repeat myself. I truly know nothing about the Evil Demons you mentioned, nor do I know anything else. This time, I was a victim too..."

His metal spirit root erupted, sharp radiance flashing forth. Liu Muyu grew bolder. Since he had not seen any other elders from Lingxu Sacred Land, he decided to teach Li Tianwei a lesson—to teach him the basic respect one should show the strong.

"Li Tianwei, you should understand... what it means for the strong to reign supreme... Aah! Don't hit me! Don't hit me..."

Liu Muyu had barely begun spouting trash talk before he could even finish.

Li Tianwei gave him no more time. The Vengeful Curse erupted without warning.

Several spells descended in a bombardment of Dao intent.

They beat Liu Muyu until he had no room to fight back, sending him scurrying away with his head in his hands.

Only then did Liu Muyu slowly react, staring at Li Tianwei in disbelief.

Several more spells slammed into his face. Even then, Liu Muyu could not understand how Li Tianwei, at the Foundation Establishment Realm, was wielding Golden Core spiritual power.

"Stop hitting me! I'll talk, I'll talk! I really don't know what Evil Demons are!"

"I did have certain intentions in hosting this banquet, but I truly know nothing about Evil Demons."

Feeling Li Tianwei's strength, Liu Muyu found the sensation of being utterly toyed with even more terrifying than facing the two Nascent Soul Realm elders earlier.

Hearing this, Li Tianwei had not expected Liu Muyu's mouth to be so stubborn, refusing to reveal anything about the Evil Demons.

Several more spells struck, immediately sending Liu Muyu flying backward as he coughed up mouthful after mouthful of blood.

"Pant... pant... I'm going to Enforcement Peak..."

Liu Muyu collapsed limply to the ground, clutching his chest as he continued speaking with a thick tongue.

"Enforcement Peak, is it? The strong reign supreme, is it?"

As for Li Tianwei, there was no need to say more. Such an uncooperative fellow had to receive a few more iron fists of truth.

At that moment, Li Tianwei no longer suppressed his strength. The Dao intents of death, resentment, evil, and slaughter erupted. Coupled with the Vengeful Curse, the Resentment Force and all kinds of Evil Nature around him received an unknown degree of amplification.

Countless afterimages swirled around him, Evil Thoughts coiling through the air. Li Tianwei looked like a demonic lord descending upon the world.

Imagine such a thing standing before you—Liu Muyu immediately understood why the people in the main hall had looked at him so strangely, and why the two Nascent Soul Elders had vanished.

Seeing this, Liu Muyu understood that Li Tianwei truly had the ability to kill him.

Faced with death, Liu Muyu could no longer care about anything else. Without hesitation, he laid everything bare and revealed his identity.

"Stop hitting me! I understand, I'll talk, I'll talk! I'm a spy from Baiyuan Sacred Land. I hosted this banquet in order to... trick you into stepping into the trap..."

With death looming over him, Liu Muyu no longer cared about anything.

He revealed everything he had done, including how he had previously infiltrated Tianmen Peak and tried to use the Wuhun Banner to cripple Li Tianwei.

"A spy? Senior Brother Liu is actually a spy?"

"But you have a Top-grade Golden Spirit Root!"

The others in the main hall also heard Liu Muyu's hoarse, desperate cry on the brink of death and could not help but feel dazed.

"The Top-grade Golden Spirit Root is fake. I only have a High-grade Golden Spirit Root. I used certain methods to fake it, so I could squeeze out more cultivation resources."

Liu Muyu was extremely cooperative now, rattling everything off without caring whether it made sense or not.

"You really don't know about Evil Demons?"

Li Tianwei had no interest in factional struggles or spies.

In Li Tianwei's eyes, Evil Demons were the only thing that mattered in this world.

As for Baiyuan Sacred Land, Li Tianwei had long known it was no good. Instead of cultivating properly and pursuing immortality, why waste time fighting over methods and power?

Moreover, there were Evil Demons. Li Tianwei had long since etched Baiyuan Sacred Land into his mind, intending to purge it in the future.

Seeing that Li Tianwei had finally stopped attacking after hearing his words, and that the feeling of death had receded, Liu Muyu could not help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Before he could settle his emotions, Li Tianwei's voice sounded beside his ear again.

"Trash. You don't even know what Evil Demons are."

Immediately afterward, the twisted phantom behind Li Tianwei surged forward and swallowed him.
