The person leading them was none other than the white-haired, red-eyed Daoist who had just intercepted Chen Xuan.

He stood proudly in front of the crowd, pointing at Chen Xuan and saying, "Are you regretting it now?

Kneel down and crawl over here immediately to apologize to this Daoist master. Otherwise, I will grind you two to dust today."

At this moment, Chen Xuan's face was extremely gloomy, and a monstrous killing intent emanated from his eyes.

"Since you're seeking death, don't blame me for being merciless." As he spoke, Chen Xuan moved.

Chen Xuan instantly vanished from his original spot like a ghost, reappearing in mid-air.

At the same time, he was holding the white-haired, red-eyed Daoist in his hand and ruthlessly slammed him down from mid-air.

The white-haired, red-eyed Daoist plunged into Kunlun Mountain like a cannonball, burying himself dozens of meters deep.

This couldn't help but shock the people he had brought with him, and the arrogance that was originally on their faces was now gone.

The timid ones turned around and ran towards Kunlun Mountain, while the bolder ones stood their ground, relying on their courage.

And at this moment, the white-haired, red-eyed Daoist who had been thrown into the large pit was no longer dressed as a Daoist.

Instead, he had transformed into his true form, a long-eared Spiritual Beast the size of a white elephant, struggling to climb out of the large pit.

With a push of his legs on the ground, he soared into the air and pounced towards Chen Xuan.

Chen Xuan stood still, not moving at all, nor did he use any weapons or magic treasures.

He simply clenched his fist and punched the Spiritual Beast that was pouncing on him.

With just one punch, he sent the Spiritual Beast flying into mid-air.

When it fell down again, Chen Xuan punched it back with another blow.

As Chen Xuan continued to vent, the suppressed anger in his chest gradually faded.

At the same time, he experienced the joy that Dao Ancestor Hongjun felt when he treated him like a ping pong ball back then.

Just at this moment, five figures flew down from Kunlun Mountain. The person leading them was Daoist Duobao.

Following behind Daoist Duobao were naturally Qiu Shou Xian, Ling Ya Xian, Jin Guang Xian, and Wu Yun Xian.

When they saw their junior brother being used as a sandbag, the anger in their chests was instantly ignited.

Daoist Duobao pointed and said, "Audacious and arrogant scoundrel, how dare you come to my Kunlun Mountain to cause trouble? Do you really think there is no one from my Three Pure Ones' lineage?"

As he spoke, Daoist Duobao had already taken out various magic treasures such as beads, seals, and swords.

Just as he was about to attack Chen Xuan, he finally saw Chen Xuan's face clearly.

Immediately, the anger on his face vanished, and he put away his magic treasures.

And he bowed to Chen Xuan with the etiquette of a half-disciple, saying, "Duobao (Qiu Shou Xian...) greets Senior Brother."

They had originally thought that with the arrival of Daoist Duobao and the others, they should be able to stand tall.

But what they never expected was that this person was actually that mysterious Senior Brother.

They knew they had a Senior Brother they had never met, who was kept in the Purple Cloud Palace by their Grandmaster to listen to the Dao.

They had imagined countless ways they might meet, but they never would have thought it would be in this manner today.

Terrified, none dared to remain standing. They all knelt on the ground, not even daring to lift their heads.

At this moment, Chen Xuan held the White-Haired Red-Eyed Daoist, who had transformed into a Spiritual Beast, in his hand.

"Duo Bao, shouldn't you give me an explanation? When did the disciples of my Three Pure Ones become so arrogant and overbearing?"

This was the first time Daoist Duobao had heard Chen Xuan's voice so somber, and his body couldn't help but tremble.

He quickly said, "Senior Brother, you may not know, but after Master and the two Senior Uncles returned from listening to the Dao, Master successively took in dozens of disciples.

After Master imparted the Supreme Purity Immortal Technique to them, he immediately went into seclusion in Shangqing Palace and has been there for nearly a thousand years now.

Because there was no restraint from Master, they developed such arrogant and overbearing personalities."

As soon as Daoist Duobao finished speaking, Chen Xuan couldn't help but let out another cold snort, "Master is in seclusion cultivating, so you, as the Senior Brother, are also in seclusion?

Master doesn't have time to discipline them, so can't you, as the Senior Brother, discipline them on Master's behalf?

I see that not only have you not disciplined them, but you've even supported them and fueled their arrogance?"

This time, Daoist Duobao dared not retort. He could only say with a wronged expression, "Duo Bao knows he was wrong. Duo Bao is willing to accept punishment from Senior Brother?"

"You won't escape this punishment, and neither will the rest of you. I hope you are also qualified to accept punishment from me."

Chen Xuan said in a cold voice, simultaneously throwing down the Spiritual Beast he held in his hand.

As the Spiritual Beast fell from the sky, a mournful cry was heard.

It turned out that Chen Xuan had directly torn off the Spiritual Beast's tail. Its originally long tail was now only a small stub.

After landing, the Spiritual Beast transformed, once again becoming the White-Haired Red-Eyed Daoist.

He looked at Chen Xuan with not a hint of anger in his expression. Instead, he knelt there properly, his body still trembling uncontrollably.

"What is your name? Are you a direct disciple or a registered disciple?" Chen Xuan asked in a cold voice.

"Reporting to Senior Brother, this junior's Daoist name is Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, and I am one of Master's Attending Seven Immortals."

Chen Xuan was stunned on the spot. He looked at the long tail in his hand, then at Chang Er Ding Guang Xian kneeling on the ground.

Recalling how he looked when he revealed his true form just now, he did indeed resemble a rabbit by seventy to eighty percent. Only the long tail was different from a rabbit's.

This couldn't help but make Chen Xuan think to himself, A rabbit's tail doesn't grow long. Could it be that I caused this?

Seeing Chen Xuan staring at him without speaking, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was terrified.

He kept bowing to Chen Xuan and said, "Please forgive me, Senior Brother. It was this junior's momentary recklessness that offended Senior Brother. This junior is willing to accept all punishment."

If it were someone else, Chen Xuan might have truly punished him and then strictly disciplined him.

But since he was Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, it was destined that it wouldn't be as simple as just punishment.

After all, in the Great Desolate records Chen Xuan was familiar with, this Chang Er Ding Guang Xian was a traitor and a double-crosser.

One could even say that if he hadn't stolen the Six Soul Banner, the Intercepting Sect might not have truly collapsed instantly.

Therefore, at this moment, Chen Xuan wished he could directly twist off Chang Er Ding Guang Xian's head.

For the future of the Intercepting Sect, for his master Tongtian. He would first eliminate this root of disaster.

But then he thought about it again and felt that he couldn't do that. If he killed this Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, what if another Short-Eared Ding Guang Xian appeared?

Turning a known crisis into an unknown one was not a wise choice.

Immediately, he fully unleashed his Great Luo Golden Immortal cultivation in mid-air, and at the same time, he ran his hand down that long tail.

The originally fluffy tail instantly lost its original appearance. It transformed into a red and white striped stick.
