The disciples who didn't recognize Chen Xuan were currently looking at the older disciples beside them with questioning eyes.
After a brief moment of shock, Daoist Duobao hurriedly performed a half-master's bow to Chen Xuan.
"Duobao greets Eldest Senior Brother."
Chen Xuan waved his hand at Daoist Duobao, directly helping him up.
The others naturally also wanted to bow and pay respects to Chen Xuan, but he waved his hand to stop them.
"Duobao, do you know why I disguised myself as Martial Uncle Zhunti today?"
At this moment, Daoist Duobao was completely bewildered. He immediately shook his head at Chen Xuan.
"Please enlighten me, Eldest Senior Brother. Duobao is slow-witted and truly doesn't understand the meaning of Eldest Senior Brother's actions."
"Some people take a master as their teacher simply to find a backer, to avoid being bullied by others.
Should their master face a great calamity one day, they will undoubtedly choose to leave without hesitation.
Even worse, some will launch sneak attacks from behind you, trading your lives for their future.
To prevent such things from happening, I took this opportunity to appropriately test them.
I didn't expect that nearly a hundred people had joined the sect with such intentions."
As Chen Xuan spoke, he pointed at the traitors who were controlled by the Green Lotus.
At this moment, those traitors all lowered their heads in silence, filled with deep regret for their choices.
Jin Guang Xian even spoke to Chen Xuan, saying, "Eldest Senior Brother, are we merely going to cripple their cultivation?
I believe such people shouldn't even have the right to live. Please give the order, Eldest Senior Brother, and let me clean house for Master."
As soon as Jin Guang Xian finished speaking, Qiu Shou Xian, Ling Ya Xian, and Wu Yun Xian burst out laughing and came to Jin Guang Xian's side.
They reached out and patted Jin Guang Xian, saying, "You little rascal, you conspired with Eldest Senior Brother to test them, and you didn't even give us a heads-up.
This time, when we clean house for Master, you can't leave us brothers out. We must do it together."
"I told him not to tell anyone, otherwise, if word got out, today's test would be meaningless.
Moreover, I'm saying this upfront today, there will be more tests like this in the future.
They will appear in different forms and at different times. I hope I won't see the same result as today."
After speaking, a large brush appeared in Chen Xuan's hand. This brush was filled with deep Yin energy, giving people a chilling feeling.
Indeed, this was the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush that Chen Xuan had obtained on the Treasure Distribution Cliff, which would later become the Judge's Pen of the Nine Hells Underworld.
Chen Xuan raised the Spring and Autumn Reincarnation Brush and wrote a large character for "traitor" in the void.
Then, he waved his hand at the large "traitor" character, sending it into the air.
It split into two, then into four, and in the blink of an eye, it transformed into nearly a hundred.
As the "traitor" characters descended from the sky, they directly imprinted themselves on the foreheads of those traitors.
Immediately after, a black mist flew out from between Chen Xuan's eyebrows, circling above the heads of those traitors.
Looking at those traitors now, their eyes were empty and lifeless, and they were like walking corpses.
Chen Xuan put away the Green Lotus Precious Color Banner, and the black energy also returned to Chen Xuan's brow.
"Chang Er Ding Guang Xian, I'll leave these people to you. From now on, they can only be slaves."
Chang Er Ding Guang Xian naturally didn't dare to be negligent and quickly stepped forward to acknowledge Chen Xuan.
Then, he led those traitors towards the Back Mountain of Kunlun Mountain.
As Chang Er Ding Guang Xian led those people to the Back Mountain and out of Chen Xuan's sight,
only then did the stone in his heart finally drop. He secretly said to himself, 'Fortunately, I saw through the mystery, otherwise I would have been doomed today as well.'
At the same time, Chang Er Ding Guang Xian also discovered that the traitors following him had lost their souls and become walking corpses.
This made Chang Er Ding Guang Xian even more fearful, and he couldn't help but secretly say that Chen Xuan was ruthless.
The Three Pure Ones were standing in the air above Kunlun Mountain, watching everything that was happening on Kunlun Mountain.
"Third Junior Brother, look at the disciples you've taken in. Chen Xuan just used a small trick, and they all revealed their true forms one by one.
If it weren't for Chen Xuan, these people would become tumors in your sect in the future. Sooner or later, they would exhaust your luck."
Although Tongtian was also very grateful to Chen Xuan for helping him remove those traitors,
due to his personality, Tongtian was unwilling to lose face in front of Yuanshi Tianzun.
He immediately said unconvinced, "It's clearly that kid who acted on his own initiative and doesn't understand what careful guidance is at all.
He made this poor Daoist lose nearly a hundred disciples for nothing. See if this poor Daoist doesn't go back and settle the score with him."
After saying that, his figure flashed, and he directly headed towards Kunlun Mountain.
Yuanshi Tianzun wanted to say something else, but he was stopped by the Grand Supreme Elder.
"Forget it, you know what kind of personality Third Junior Brother has, don't you? Why do you have to make him nod and admit his mistake to you?"
After saying that, he sighed helplessly and then also headed towards Kunlun Mountain.
Although Yuanshi Tianzun didn't say anything, he was also very unwilling in his heart.
Master Tongtian's majestic voice came from the Shangqing Palace, "Chen Xuan, come into the Shangqing Palace immediately to see your master."
None of the disciples saw when Tongtian returned, and even Chen Xuan didn't notice at all.
Now hearing Tongtian suddenly call him, Chen Xuan secretly cried out that it was bad.
But in the end, he could only brace himself and enter the Shangqing Palace, and greeted Tongtian with a smile.
"Master, you're back from the Heavenly Court? I wonder if you've vented your anger for this disciple?"
Tongtian nodded, "Di Jun and Eastern Emperor Taiyi have agreed to resolve this karma with two magic treasures. You can go to the Heavenly Court when you have time."
Chen Xuan couldn't help but secretly rejoice when he heard this, thinking to himself, 'It's good to have a backer.'
It seemed that choosing to be a third-generation Daoist disciple instead of a second-generation one was absolutely the correct choice.
After all, Dao Ancestor Hongjun, who held the esteemed position of a Heavenly Dao Saint, wouldn't charge into the Heavenly Court just to vent his anger for him, unlike his master and two martial uncles.
Seeing Chen Xuan's smiling face, Tongtian suddenly spoke, "Tell me, what exactly do you want to do?"
Chen Xuan naturally knew what Tongtian was asking, but he wasn't prepared to follow Tongtian's lead in the conversation.
Instead, with a smile on his face, he said, "Thank you, Master. Your disciple will immediately head to the Heavenly Court to see what magical treasures they have prepared for your disciple."
After speaking, without waiting for Tongtian's agreement, he instantly flashed his figure and transformed into a wave.
Tongtian had long anticipated that Chen Xuan would find an excuse to escape. He immediately waved his hand and set up a barrier in Shangqing Palace.
"Last time, you managed to escape by taking advantage of the situation. Do you think this master will be so careless this time?
If you don't give this master a clear explanation today, you won't take a single step out of here."
