While Dan Jing chatted casually with Xi He and Chang Xi.
On the lecture platform.
The old Sage had also finished this round of preaching.
There was something he wanted to do—
Choose a leader of the male immortals and a leader of the female immortals to oversee all matters concerning the male and female immortals of the Primordial World from now on!
And so.
Eastern King Gong, born from Primordial Yang Qi, and Queen Mother of the West, born from Primordial Yin Qi, each received a top-grade innate spiritual treasure and an immortal registry, becoming the leader of the male immortals and the leader of the female immortals!
At this point.
The first lecture—
Everything the old Sage had intended to do had been completed.
The old Sage, seated upon his meditation cushion, glanced at the many Red-Dust Guests below.
Then he spoke leisurely:
"This lecture has now ended."
"In ten yuanhui, Violet Cloud Palace will open again. You may return then!"
"Go!"
As his words fell.
The old Sage's figure leisurely departed from the lecture platform.
Mm—
The meditation cushion the old man had just sat on left with him too.
Who knew who he was guarding against!
"Not generous at all!"
Watching the old man take away the cushion he had sat on, Dan Jing could not help grumbling inwardly.
He had only wanted to see whether the Sage's meditation cushion differed in any way from the ones they had sat on.
He had no other intentions—
Yet the old man would not even give him that chance. His guard was a little too high!
With that thought.
Dan Jing leisurely rose to his feet.
At the same time, he naturally reached out and picked up the unusual meditation cushion he had been sitting on, one that suited the Solar Dao he primarily cultivated.
He smiled and remarked:
"What a fine treasure!"
Of course it was a fine treasure.
Even a single brick in Violet Cloud Palace was steeped in a Sage's aura, let alone anything else.
Dan Jing would not stoop to prying bricks from the old man's Daoist Sanctuary, but taking a meditation cushion that was useless to the old man was hardly a problem.
Just as Dan Jing patted the cushion and prepared to put it away.
From nearby.
A stern shout suddenly rang out:
"Presumptuous!"
"How dare a mere brat touch the possessions of the Sage's Daoist Sanctuary?"
"Put down that meditation cushion!"
The abrupt shout stunned the three thousand guests, who had originally planned to leave swiftly and return to the Primordial World for secluded cultivation.
Instinctively, they halted and turned toward the person who had issued the rebuke.
Oh—
So it was the newly appointed leader of the male immortals!
Then it was no surprise.
The Red-Dust Guests immediately stopped worrying about leaving and instead wanted to see how this little show would unfold.
After all, Eastern King Gong, the male immortal leader just appointed by the Sage, was renowned throughout the Primordial World. He was indeed a capable powerhouse.
And the person he had rebuked—
Well...
Was that Primordial Divine Being for whom the Sage had left the doors open!
Perfect—
Let the leader of the male immortals test his measure. What kind of background did he have, exactly?
He had not only dared to arrive late, but the Sage had truly left the doors open for him. Was his face really that big?
Dan Jing was a little confused too—
He did not understand why Eastern King Gong had jumped out to rebuke him.
Come on, man, he was taking the old man's things, not stealing your treasure.
The old man himself had not said anything yet!
What did it have to do with you, leader of the male immortals?
Dan Jing did not understand Eastern King Gong's thinking, but he knew perfectly well that he disliked people raising their voices at him!
So.
Dan Jing raised an eyebrow. Not only did he fail to put down the Solar Meditation Mat he had picked up, he flipped his hand and directly stored it away.
Nearby.
Eastern King Gong had been displaying his authority. He had originally thought that, with his identity as the Sage-appointed leader of the male immortals, he could easily cow Dan Jing.
Yet he had never expected Dan Jing to ignore him completely and brazenly put away that meditation cushion.
That made Eastern King Gong feel that he had lost face, and his expression instantly darkened.
He spoke again in a low voice:
"Presum—"
The next instant.
Rumble—
An extremely terrifying Great Luo aura erupted directly within Violet Cloud Palace. Feeling that fearsome Great Luo aura, the many Red-Dust Guests felt their hearts tremble.
Then.
A scream rang out:
"Ah!!!"
Startled by the sound.
The Red-Dust Guests turned toward where the scream had come from—
They saw that Dan Jing had somehow appeared before Eastern King Gong. Terrifying Great Luo killing intent surged around him.
Solar Golden Flame capable of igniting even the perils of Chaos blazed in his hand as he seized Eastern King Gong by the throat. The terrifying flames instantly turned Eastern King Gong into a living torch.
"Fuck!"
Dan Jing, who had completely suppressed Eastern King Gong with one hand, wore undisguised fury and killing intent on his face.
He cursed as he dragged Eastern King Gong toward the outside of Violet Cloud Palace:
"You useless piece of trash, what strength do you think you have to act tough before me?"
"You want to show off before me? I'll make you fly!"
"Fuck!"
"..."
As he dragged Eastern King Gong out of Violet Cloud Palace's main hall, the Great Luo killing intent around Dan Jing surged violently and without restraint.
The Red-Dust Guests who had been standing in his way hurriedly cleared a path.
They were terrified that this ruthless bastard, who dared to attack within a Sage's Daoist Sanctuary, might find them displeasing and burn them along with Eastern King Gong.
Just look at that glittering Solar Golden Flame—
Did it not look like the road back to the Great Dao True Spirit Sea?
It did!
It fucking did!
After dragging Eastern King Gong all the way out of Violet Cloud Palace, Dan Jing did not bother picking a better spot. He dealt with him right there in the Chaos outside the palace!
"Ah!!!"
The Solar Golden Flame burned Eastern King Gong until he wished he were dead. His body, primordial spirit, Dao, and everything else were being reduced to ashes.
Unable to resist, he could only scream.
As Dan Jing dealt with him, he cursed:
"They made you leader of the male immortals, and you really think you're better than everyone else?"
"You're fucking asking to be put in your place!"
"You even wanted to trade blows with me! If I don't kill you today, I'll take your surname!"
"You've really never seen someone fight dirty!"
As he spoke.
The terrifying Solar Golden Flame blazed fiercely—
Eastern King Gong, who had only just become the leader of the male immortals, was completely refined away in the span of Dan Jing's few sentences.
Only a wisp of his true spirit remained, returning to the Great Dao True Spirit Sea.
After directly refining Eastern King Gong.
Dan Jing waved a hand and collected the innate spiritual treasures Eastern King Gong had left behind: the Twelfth-Grade World-Purifying White Lotus, the Primordial Pure Yang Sword, the Pure Yang Treasure Mirror, and the Dragon-Headed Staff he had only just received and had not even warmed in his hands.
Having collected the spoils of battle.
Dan Jing could not help spitting:
"Peh! What a pathetic bastard!"
He clapped his hands.
Dan Jing then turned his gaze toward the many dumbfounded Red-Dust Guests inside and outside Violet Cloud Palace who were staring at him.
He frowned:
"What are you looking at? Never seen someone kill before?"
"Or are any of you this bastard's lackeys?"
"Come on, come on. If you are, step forward. I'll send you on your way for free!"
At those words, the many Red-Dust Guests who had been staring blankly at Dan Jing shook their heads repeatedly and backed away.
What a joke—
Who the fuck would dare provoke someone who killed the moment he acted and showed no mercy once he did?
They could not avoid a ruthless man like this quickly enough!
How could they possibly rush forward?
Even Eastern King Gong's friends stayed far away—
They had only just heard the Sage's teachings and were on the verge of advancing further in their cultivation.
Who would risk their lives against a powerhouse for a dead man?
Eastern King Gong?
They did not know him that well!
Oh, no—
By now, Eastern King Gong had already been thoroughly cooked to death.
Seeing everyone avert their eyes and retreat, Dan Jing did not press the matter.
His gaze swept around. He had originally intended to leave, but then he noticed Queen Mother of the West among the Red-Dust Guests cautiously glance at him.
His brow furrowed again:
"What are you looking at?"
Before you continue
