By now, Xiao E had recovered and understood that he had no chance to kill Li Tianwei.
They were currently in Lingxu Sacred Land, so he had to seize the initiative and find a pretext.
Thus, Xiao E unleashed a barrage at Bai Muxu, pointing at Li Tianwei with eyes brimming with righteous hatred for evil.
"What does Lingxu Sacred Land mean by this? It was merely a sparring exchange, yet you struck so ruthlessly."
"Moreover, I suspect this disciple of yours is a spy from the demonic sects. Every spell in his hands is sinister and vicious."
After reacting so swiftly, Xiao E secretly breathed a sigh of relief. He had no desire to be branded as someone who strangled geniuses to death on another's turf. If that happened, he likely would not be able to leave Lingxu Sacred Land.
But he immediately spotted Li Tianwei's weakness and struck first.
Seeing Xiao E react so quickly and directly seize the moral high ground to condemn Li Tianwei—
It had to be said, this tactic was indeed effective.
Bai Muxu knew that Li Tianwei had comprehended the two Dao intents of death and resentment, which was why he cultivated spells suited to such Dao intents.
Ordinary righteous cultivators would never cultivate such things. If they pressed the matter, would that not expose Li Tianwei's circumstances?
For such a genius, Bai Muxu could fully imagine how many people would exhaust every possible means against him in the future.
Fortunately, Li Tianwei's eruption just now had only revealed the Dao intent of slaughter. It was not as though nobody had comprehended Dao intent during the Foundation Establishment Realm—Bai Muxu himself was one such person.
"Bullshit! No outsider has the right to kill a disciple of Lingxu Sacred Land."
True Lord Lanyu, standing nearby, also noticed Bai Muxu's oddity and immediately retorted.
"Xiao E, it is fine for Baiyuan Sacred Land to come to Lingxu Sacred Land for sparring exchanges. But no matter what, this is still Lingxu Sacred Land's affair. In full view of everyone, you tried to kill a disciple of our sacred land. What kind of reason is that?"
"I suspect that you are the demonic sect spy. Upon seeing a sacred land prodigy, you immediately moved to eliminate him."
As True Lord Lanyu spoke, the other elders refused to be outdone. They pressed forward and began confronting Xiao E head-on.
After all, this was Lingxu Sacred Land. If nothing else, Lingxu Sacred Land had plenty of people.
On the sparring platform, Li Tianwei watched Ye Changxu block the attack before him and frowned slightly.
"Martial nephew, that man may be crippled, but he cannot be killed. We have not yet reached the point of falling out with the other three great sacred lands."
Ye Changxu understood Li Tianwei's feelings and transmitted his voice to soothe him.
Li Tianwei understood the reason upon hearing this and did not feel too stifled.
Instead, he savored the sensation from just now. That kind of explosive method was simply too wonderful—it could multiply one's power by several hundredfold.
Li Tianwei then looked toward Yuan Xixiao beside him. If he remembered correctly, Yuan Xixiao had cast some spell on him at that moment, and that invisible intrusion had brought about everything that followed.
"This is quite a good method. It cannot be wasted."
While the elders in midair were trading barbed words with Xiao E and the others from Baiyuan Sacred Land, Li Tianwei quietly came before Yuan Xixiao.
"Tell me what you did to me just now."
Li Tianwei crouched before Yuan Xixiao and asked with a faint chill in his eyes.
As for Yuan Xixiao, after experiencing that moment of certain death, his mind had collapsed. He already seemed half-mad.
He still remembered the terrifying methods and strength Li Tianwei had displayed.
The moment he saw Li Tianwei, he stared at him with a face full of terror and despair, shrinking his head like a turtle.
"Don't come over! Don't come over! I don't know, I don't know..."
Yuan Xixiao screamed in fear and terror.
Ye Changxu, who had previously blocked Li Tianwei's killing strike, acted as though he saw nothing. He lounged in midair, casually blocking the sightlines of the others from Baiyuan Sacred Land.

"Tell me. Otherwise..."
Without hesitation, Li Tianwei circulated the spiritual energy within his body. The earlier eruption still clearly carried traces of that aura.
Yuan Xixiao could not help trembling all over at the sight.
At that moment, the suffocating sensation of death bore down on him once more, and he immediately said,
"That is the Vengeful Curse. Its main purpose is to trigger the eruption of evil resentment within a person. It can cause resentment to taint one's Dao Heart and Spiritual Platform."
Li Tianwei did not care what the Vengeful Curse was meant to do. In his eyes, this was an exceptionally terrifying art. Yuan Xixiao simply did not know how to use it—he had eyes yet could not recognize a true spell.
Unlike Li Tianwei, who had a keen eye for talent, Yuan Xixiao clearly had not understood the Vengeful Curse's true purpose. Otherwise, how could it have helped him unleash such terrifying power?
"Teach me. Recite every word without missing a single one."
Thinking this, Li Tianwei immediately glared at Yuan Xixiao, while the spiritual power around him pressed down upon him.
Sensing the aura of power emanating from Li Tianwei, Yuan Xixiao instantly sobered up and promptly revealed everything about the Vengeful Curse.
Yuan Xixiao did not understand why Li Tianwei wanted the Vengeful Curse. It was merely a minor technique used to stir up resentment within the human body. It could not even make it into the Compendium of Spell Arts and was utterly a lowly, insignificant spell.
Yet Li Tianwei wore such a grave and earnest expression, as though it were some extraordinary spell.
Li Tianwei memorized it all within that brief span of time and could hardly wait to return and study this powerful art.
As for Yuan Xixiao's puzzled expression, Li Tianwei naturally did not take it seriously. In Li Tianwei's heart, how could someone of Yuan Xixiao's strength possibly understand the might of the art in his hands? He had used it for so long without even realizing its power.
How could such a person be called a prodigy? He had even achieved Foundation Establishment in a Hundred Days just like Li Tianwei. Li Tianwei could not help but sneer.
After obtaining the technique, Li Tianwei formed a hand seal and tapped Yuan Xixiao between the brows.
He guided fission spiritual power into Yuan Xixiao's body and shredded his Spiritual Platform, ensuring that he would never cultivate again.
After doing all this, Li Tianwei retreated behind Ye Changxu.
Seeing Li Tianwei cripple Yuan Xixiao, Ye Changxu naturally stepped in front of Li Tianwei.
Meanwhile, the verbal battle between Xiao E and the elders of Lingxu Sacred Land in the air had finally drawn to a close.
Xiao E now looked utterly exhausted, his eyes filled with indignation and haggard weariness. Even to the naked eye, much of his vigor and spirit had fallen away.
After all, the elders of Lingxu Sacred Land had seized this chance to make a fuss and extorted quite a few things from Xiao E.
Furthermore, Baiyuan Sacred Land had to send several more elders over with items to exchange for Xiao E and the other disciples.
"Xiao E, do you still remember that little extra you added? Since Baiyuan Sacred Land has already lost, where is that High-grade magical treasure?"
Bai Muxu spoke at this moment.
Only then did the elders come back to their senses and join in, showering Xiao E with affectionate words.
"Fine, I'll give it to you right away."
Xiao E was frightened now. Lingxu Sacred Land had grown increasingly powerful over the years. If something truly happened to him in Lingxu Sacred Land, Baiyuan Sacred Land likely would not fall out with Lingxu Sacred Land over this matter.
When all was said and done, it had been his fault. Lingxu Sacred Land had ample room to make an issue of it.
After speaking, he took out the High-grade magical treasure from his storage ring.
It was a Dharma Wheel Treasure, a circular disk engraved with several hundred formations layered atop one another. A faint treasure aura shone from it, resembling the halo disk carried upon an immortal's back.
Looking at the Spirit Light Wheel in his hand, Xiao E's face was filled with pain.
Bai Muxu accepted it amid everyone's envious gazes. After all, this magical treasure was the extra prize Li Tianwei had won through sparring, so no one had much objection.
High-grade magical treasures were rare. Even Nascent Soul stage cultivators might not possess one.
Only after putting it away did Bai Muxu and the others have the mind to deal with the matters on the sparring platform.
