The Twelve Golden Immortals watched the direction where Juliusun disappeared, their eyes flickering.
"So ruthless!"
"Fellow disciples, reduced to a dog-eat-dog situation. The Sect of Elucidation disciples have deep blessings, and this is it?"
At this moment, a calm voice emerged from the Sect of Interception Immortal Palace.
If disciples from both sects were present, they would have been utterly shocked.
Who else could it be but Lin Changqing, who instigated the conflict between the two sects, was severely injured, and angered the Saint Tongtian, leading to the Four Immortal Slaying Swords suppressing the Sect of Elucidation?
Lin Changqing slowly shook his head, tutting.
This scene of brotherly affection and master-student kindness was truly tear-jerking.
"Alright, Changqing, you rascal, with so many clever ideas, you've certainly let me vent my anger."
"Hahaha! Second Senior Brother always boasts about how good his disciples are, calling them Virtuous Golden Immortals with deep blessings."
"In the end, they turn out like this."
At this moment, another voice appeared, its sound originating from the grand hall's platform in the Sect of Interception Immortal Palace.
Tongtian, who had been furious moments ago and ready to annihilate the Sect of Elucidation to avenge his beloved disciple, was now leisurely seated at the head of the hall, looking at his beloved disciple with doting affection.
"Second Martial Uncle's discernment in choosing disciples is somewhat inferior to yours, Master."
Lin Changqing smiled faintly and said to Tongtian.
"Hahaha! You rascal, your flattery skills have improved significantly after this seclusion."
Tongtian burst into laughter upon hearing Lin Changqing's words.
However, Lin Changqing's expression suddenly turned extremely serious as he looked at Tongtian.
"Disciple Lin Changqing, unable to bear seeing my junior brothers and sisters humiliated, took action without authorization!"
"I used the name of the Three Sects to enrage Second Martial Uncle, and under duress, faked my death to escape, deceiving a Saint. I beg Master for punishment!"
At this moment, Lin Changqing bowed solemnly to Tongtian and said with utmost seriousness.
There are no rules without order. Even though Tongtian had tacitly approved and even participated in this matter, Lin Changqing had ultimately schemed against a Saint. He had to confess to Tongtian.
"It's alright."
Tongtian replied with a serious expression, though he didn't seem to mind.
After so many years, he was overjoyed to finally vent his frustration on Yuanshi.
As for Juliusun, that was Yuanshi's own problem, it had nothing to do with him.
At this moment, Tongtian also took out the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir and played with it in his hand.
Lin Changqing's eyes immediately lit up.
This is the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir that I worked so hard to trick... ah, to earn. Is Master going to bestow it upon me again?
Besides, this was the pill agreed upon to save my life.
A Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir!
If I eat it, I'll probably break through to Golden Immortal immediately!
Moreover, with the system in my possession, if I can gift it away again, I'll receive a hundredfold return reward.
The first time was a hundred billion merits!
Giving it away again surely won't be any worse. I'll make a huge profit then!
However, as if seeing through Lin Changqing's thoughts, Tongtian smiled slightly and put away the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir.
"Changqing, you said before that you didn't want to use the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir to break through. This Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, I'll keep it for myself."
Tongtian said with a faint smile to Lin Changqing.
At this moment, Lin Changqing wished he could slap himself. Couldn't he have come up with a different excuse back then?
Now, the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir that was within reach was gone.
Lin Changqing could only put on a dejected face and bow slightly to Tongtian.
"Master, I think, sometimes..."
"Senior Disciple Brother!!"
Just as Lin Changqing was about to argue further, a voice filled with anxiety came from outside the Sect of Interception's grand hall.
Tongtian waved his hand, and the great hall opened, allowing a group of the Sect of Interception's direct disciples to enter in an orderly fashion.
Leading them was the youngest junior sister, Bixiao.
Bixiao rushed into the grand hall, her eyes still red. She looked around anxiously, searching for a familiar figure.
Behind Bixiao, Duobao and the other direct disciples followed with helpless wry smiles.
The grand hall closed, and Bixiao immediately saw Lin Changqing.
"Senior Disciple Brother!!"
"That's great, Senior Disciple Brother, it's wonderful you're okay!"
"I was so scared I thought I was going to die, boohoohoo……"
As soon as she saw Lin Changqing, Bixiao's tears flowed uncontrollably. She rushed towards Lin Changqing and buried her face in his chest, sobbing loudly.
Tongtian was stunned for a moment.
This girl, I just said she was crying the hardest and scolding the most sincerely. Looking at the situation now, she really thought Changqing was dead?
"Junior Disciple Sister Bixiao…"
Lin Changqing felt a little awkward at this moment.
At the time, he was being watched by disciples from both sects. It was already a risk for Lin Changqing to even greet Duobao and the others.
Bixiao hadn't seen him then, and Lin Changqing couldn't explain himself to her again.
This led to Bixiao believing he was seriously injured.
"Senior Disciple Brother, you were ambushed by Juliusun. Are you alright now?"
"Are there any lingering effects on your soul? Is your cultivation okay!"
Bixiao interrupted Lin Changqing at this point, asking with even greater concern.
Tongtian, however, immediately grinned.
"Hahaha! Alright, your Senior Disciple Brother is fine. Did you forget about the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir our Master brought?"
As Tongtian spoke, Bixiao immediately stood up.
"That's right! With the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, Senior Disciple Brother will definitely be fine."
"Hmph! Speaking of the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, Senior Disciple Brother, look at my sister. She wouldn't even part with the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir to save you!"
"And Senior Disciple Brother Duobao and the others, they're all hesitant when it comes to revenge. It's still me and Senior Disciple Brother who are closest."
Bixiao said, glaring resentfully at Yunxiao and the other direct disciples.
This made Duobao and the others smile wryly again.
However, Senior Disciple Brother hadn't explained this matter yet, and their Master was also present, so it wasn't convenient for them to explain.
"Alright, Senior Disciple Brother is fine."
"Just now, although I was injured, I could still hold on. I told your sister not to take out the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir."
Lin Changqing explained. He definitely couldn't let Yunxiao and the others take the blame.
But Master had just said that he had taken the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir. He couldn't tell the truth about that either.
And this little Junior Sister, she came in at just the right time. His Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir was probably gone!
"Alright Bixiao! How long are you going to hug Senior Disciple Brother for!"
At this moment, Qiongxiao also stepped forward, looking at Bixiao reproachfully.
The latter's face immediately turned red, and she let go of Lin Changqing.
"It's none of your business! I'm closest to Senior Disciple Brother!"
Although she said that, Bixiao still retreated to Yunxiao and the others' side.
"By the way, Senior Disciple Brother! Juliusun, who attacked you, was directly expelled from the Sect of Elucidation! And Guang Chengzi crippled his cultivation!"
"You have no idea how lively it was back then. The Twelve Golden Immortals were fighting amongst themselves. Juliusun and Cihang Daoren…"
As soon as she returned to Yunxiao's side, Bixiao began to chatter endlessly, her eyes flashing with divine light as she spoke to Lin Changqing.
At this moment, Tongtian, who was seated high on the dao platform, straightened up slightly.
"Silence."
"Today's events end here."
Tongtian spoke, intending to put an end to the matter.
After all, his Sect of Interception had gained a great advantage.
Several disciples from the Sect of Elucidation were expelled, and one of the Twelve Golden Immortals was gone.
The Sect of Interception only had Lin Changqing feigning a serious injury once.
He would take the tangible benefits. If this matter were to spread further, it would inevitably anger Yuanshi, who always valued his reputation, and things would become awkward.
As for that Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir, if it were given to Lin Changqing, it would be troublesome whether he used it for a breakthrough or kept it. If Yuanshi found out, it would cause trouble.
Tongtian could keep it himself and give it to Lin Changqing when he needed it.
With these considerations, Tongtian decided to keep the Nine Revolutions Golden Elixir.
"We obey Master's command!"
Hearing Tongtian's order, all the direct disciples of the Sect of Interception respectfully bowed.
Tongtian slowly nodded, his gaze shifting back to Lin Changqing.
"Changqing, now that you have 'recovered from your serious injury,' what are your plans?"
Tongtian looked at Lin Changqing and asked calmly.
"Replying to Master, this disciple wishes to descend the mountain immediately to temper and cultivate!"
