Can you have some shame?

"You lowly servant! You're asking for death!"

The Treasured Mountain Seal, as vast as it was, seemed to traverse the cosmos and descend upon the Qingyuan Realm, carrying Jiang Chuan's fury. It smashed through the pitch-black lightning, striking down at Li Chanyu.

Its immense and majestic aura made the void tremble, as if it were about to crush everything into dust.

"The Demonic Soul Yin Fiend Thunder didn't even kill him!"

Li Chanyu's apricot eyes widened, her delicate body trembling as she faced the phantom mountain conjured by the Treasured Mountain Seal.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Chuan, stop!"

Li Yuejiao called out softly. Three green flying swords shot out from her storage jade pendant at her waist, intercepting Jiang Chuan's Treasured Mountain Seal.

Boom!

The swords and the seal collided. The green flying swords were sent flying backward, while the phantom mountain also dissipated into nothingness.

"You dare to stop me?!"

The pitch-black lightning faded, revealing Jiang Chuan's tall and straight figure.

"Junior Brother!"

Seeing that Jiang Chuan was unharmed, Jing Hui stopped struggling and breathed a sigh of relief.

Jiang Chuan glared furiously at Li Yuejiao and Li Chanyu, still feeling a surge of lingering fear.

So close!

Just a little bit closer!

If it weren't for his comprehension of the spatial Great Dao within the Dao Stele, which further deepened his understanding of the Darkness Space.

And if he hadn't used the Void Devouring Scripture to cast Darkness Space and swallow the lightning simultaneously as the Demonic Soul Yin Fiend Thunder exploded.

He would be a dead man by now!

Li Yuejiao spoke again.

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Chuan, although Chanyu was a bit heavy-handed just now, she was also acting out of concern for saving lives. I implore you to spare her."

"I'll spare her in her next life. Since you dare to obstruct me, you can die with her!"

Jiang Chuan knew very well that even if Li Chanyu, a mere county princess, was arrogant, she wouldn't have the guts to kill him, a contractor of the Great Sun Divine Bell.

Considering Li Yuejiao's actions, Jiang Chuan was seventy percent sure that Li Chanyu was a scapegoat manipulated by Li Yuejiao.

Jiang Chuan formed his fingers into a sword and pointed them forward.

The sword techniques recorded in the Lihuo Dao Scripture were unleashed by Jiang Chuan.

Streams of sword energy, golden-red like fire, shot towards the two women like a cascading waterfall.

"Stop!"

"Fellow Daoist Jiang Chuan!"

As the princes, including Li Kaitai and Li Shaoheng, spoke, they all moved to stop Jiang Chuan from killing Li Yuejiao and Li Chanyu.

After all, Ji Yuansheng and the others were disciples of the Maha Hall.

With the Nine Abyss Dynasty breaking ties with the Maha Hall, keeping these disciples by his side might not be a good thing.

Therefore, even Li Shaoheng only shouted a symbolic protest and did not intervene.

But Li Yuejiao and Li Chanyu were different; they were true royal blood!

Buzz! Buzz!

The golden-red sword energy was turned into dust by the four princes and Li Yuejiao.

At the same time, a pillar of golden light swept towards Li Yuejiao and Li Chanyu.

The golden pillar was as thick as a bowl, as if cast from pure gold, shimmering brightly under the sunlight.

It was the Flame Sun Needle, previously controlled by Jiang Chuan to kill Ji Yuansheng.

The swordplay was merely a feint; the Flame Sun Needle, a High-grade Treasure Artifact, was Jiang Chuan's true killing move!

Li Chanyu and Li Yuejiao's attention had been captured by Jiang Chuan's grand swordplay, and caught off guard, they had no time to react.

Thump! Thump!

Li Chanyu and Li Yuejiao were directly sent flying by the Flame Sun Needle.

"You dare!"

The Tenth Prince Li Yuchuan, dressed in black and appearing unremarkable, flicked his sleeve. Five treasure pearls, shimmering with different colors, flew towards Jiang Chuan.

Just as Jiang Chuan was about to act, an ancient hand appeared out of thin air and caught the five pearls.

"The Five Elements Pearls... as expected of a prince of the Nine Abyss Dynasty. Your family's wealth is truly substantial!"

Elder Jing Zhen looked at Li Yuchuan with a smile and then pocketed the Five Elements Pearls.

Jiang Chuan's eyes twitched slightly.

He was becoming more and more convinced that Elder Jing Zhen was definitely a spy from the Demonic Path.

Who would act like a demonic cultivator and just rob someone directly?!

At the same time, a question surfaced in Jiang Chuan's heart.

How strong was Elder Jing Zhen?

"The Five Elements Pearls are five High-grade Treasure Artifacts, and Li Yuchuan is a Fourth Realm cultivator. If he fully activates them, a Fifth Realm cultivator couldn't possibly block them so easily."

Jiang Chuan's heart churned, and he involuntarily recalled Ancestor Ziyun's words: "It'll be a bit troublesome to beat that guy Jing Zhen."

"Is he Sixth Realm, or even Seventh Realm? But if he's Seventh Realm, why would he be in charge of the Chore Yard?"

"Give me back my Five Elements Pearls!" Li Yuchuan panicked when he saw his treasures being taken.

"Once they're in my hands, Elder Jing Zhen, they're mine. If you want to snatch them back, go call your dad," Elder Jing Zhen said dismissively.

Jing Hui hurriedly said, "Elder Jing Zhen, the Nine Abyss Dynasty and Maha Hall want to kill my junior brother. You must uphold justice for my junior brother!"

"Are you sure your junior brother needs me to uphold justice? I feel like if I had arrived any later, he would have killed everyone here." Elder Jing Zhen spoke as he glanced at Qu Changhe and the more than ten Maha Hall cultivators who hadn't attacked Jiang Chuan.

"Elder, I am a Buddhist, and I value compassion. I would never do such a thing," Jiang Chuan said seriously.

Although he was confident in his own strength, he also knew that the princes present were likely not to be trifled with.

Killing one or two was manageable, but to kill everyone would likely be impossible.

Elder Jing Zhen: "..."

How could you have the nerve to say "value compassion"?

Shouldn't you ask the corpses on the ground whether you look more like a demonic cultivator or a monk?

"What happened?"

Abbot Kong Ming's figure then appeared beside Jiang Chuan.

In less than two breaths, the Sacred Emperor of Nine Heavens, the elders of Bodhi Temple, and the elders of the Nine Abyss imperial family all arrived.

"Abbot, it's like this..."

Elder Jing Zhen immediately pulled Jing Hui over and had him tell Abbot Kong Ming everything that had just happened.

"Defeated Fourth Realm Ji Yuansheng in two moves, and annihilated over a dozen cultivators of the same realm with one saber strike!"

Elder Kong Bei, Elder Jingyun, and the many elders of Bodhi Temple were all shocked.

Cultivators who challenged realms beyond their own were not uncommon in the Qingyuan Realm.

But to defeat their opponents so easily, like Jiang Chuan did, was...

If not unprecedented, it was close!

Not to mention that Jiang Chuan's opponent was a Fourth Realm cultivator from Maha Hall who had refined the Divine Law Body!

"As expected of the only cultivator since Bodhi Temple's founding who can contract the Great Sun Divine Bell! Truly a peerless prodigy!"

The Sacred Emperor of Nine Heavens was also shocked by Jiang Chuan's strength.

"We should directly take action against those brats from Maha Hall!"

Abbot Kong Ming praised Jiang Chuan for doing a great job after hearing the report.

"Jiang Chuan, you did well this time! You have half the demeanor of my youth!"

The Sacred Emperor of Nine Heavens: "..."

Didn't you say that religious people don't lie? Why aren't you blushing when you lie?

Half your youth.

Can you have some shame?

If you had even half this strength in your youth.

Perhaps the Qingyuan Realm would truly be in a state of coexistence between immortal, Buddhist, and demonic paths!

"Chanyu is acquainted with Yanran, the sister of fellow disciple Ji Yuansheng. That is why she intervened to stop fellow disciple Jiang Chuan from killing fellow disciple Ji Yuansheng," Li Yuejiao said, supporting the pale Li Chanyu.

"Chanyu didn't truly intend to kill fellow disciple Jiang Chuan. Yet, fellow disciple Jiang Chuan tried to kill Chanyu. I request my father and Abbot Kong Ming to uphold justice for Chanyu."
