Before coming here, Ye Li truly had no intention of taking action.
He was even a little disappointed when he heard that the Heavenly Supervision Department had imprisoned all the geniuses who participated in the battle in the underground space.
After all, they caused such a commotion outside the royal city back then.
The original plan was to break the Dao Heart of those geniuses who were unaware of the inside story once they entered the secret realm.
As a result, none of the prodigies saw his demonstration; they were all locked underground for a small meeting, and could probably only feel the heavy earth beneath their feet trembling violently.
To achieve the effect of the Dao Heart collapsing, it would have to be done personally after the battle begins.
So, after reviewing the relevant files on the prodigies...
Ye Li then decided to conduct an on-site investigation to see what kind of people were involved, so as to avoid any bias in the records in the case file.
He had just arrived here, having borrowed the appearance of a prodigy from the Western Continent, and hadn't even had a couple of sips of tea.
Then he heard someone throwing dirty water at him, and in less than the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, he was branded a heretical cultivator, despite his current high status in China.
That's incredibly bold of them.
Not only that.
More than 90% of the martial artists present were filled with grief and indignation, declaring they wanted to fight back.
This is one of the best pieces of news Ye Li has heard recently.
He was worried that he wouldn't be able to reach the Creation Realm before the battle.
Furthermore, so far...
Even when people mocked and ridiculed him, he never backed down once!
As for the aftermath?
Ignore it!
Splash! --
As Ye Li finished speaking, under Qiu Tianzong's leadership, hundreds of powerful members of the Heavenly Supervision Department simultaneously broke free of their chains!
A chilling, menacing light illuminated the entire underground space!
Without a word, the intense Killing Intent that chilled the hearts of all the geniuses of the Divine Continent below was so terrifying that their livers and gallbladders trembled.
The courtyard of the Central Continent Sect fell into a deathly silence.
Cao Yang swallowed hard, pulling his astonished gaze from the air. He finally gave up on going out to check the situation.
Even their Divine Consciousness dared not extend beyond the courtyard's boundaries.
There was no other reason than that the young voice from before was extremely arrogant. Everyone here was a renowned genius of the Divine Continent, and each of them had a powerful Mountain Gate behind them. Yet that person dared to say that he would kill them without hesitation?!
Cao Yang found it hard to believe!
Just how high a rank must the person who said that be within the Heavenly Supervision Department?!
"He wields such power even in the royal city, able to mobilize such a large number of the Heavenly Supervision Department officers... I really don't know how those idiots in the Western Continent offended him."
Cold sweat trickled down Cao Yang's back, but he secretly rejoiced. "Luckily, I'm not that stupid; I only ever focused on that Ye Li from the Eastern Continent..."
"Otherwise, you might not even know how you died!"
Immediately afterwards.
As the aerial net was fully formed, the entire courtyard of the Central Continent Sect became as if isolated from the world, unable to sense any movement from the outside.
And finally, a new sound resounded in that oppressive, suffocating atmosphere.
"The Startling Swan Swift Sword of the Western Continent?"
The speaker's voice was filled with shock; he simply couldn't reconcile the Baiyi swordsman in front of him with the Western Continent prodigy he remembered.
In the blink of an eye, over a hundred prodigies from the four continents were severely injured... What level of power must this expert possess?
Just because he didn't know the identity of the person who came doesn't mean the others didn't know either.
For example, Xiao Jin and the others who were in front of the Taiqing Dao Tablet that day and personally experienced this kind of aura.
Upon sensing this familiar yet chillingly powerful aura, their faces turned deathly pale, devoid of any color!
There was only one thought in my mind--
How could it be him!
How could it be him?!
If it were anyone else, there might be some room for maneuver, but this person came here in person, and under the identity of the [Startling Swan Swift Sword of the Western Continent]... This is simply cheating!!
With his cultivation reaching the peak of the Divine Connection Realm, which of the geniuses present could see through his disguise?!
"Elder Ye! Please let me explain... They were all just making up their own stories about you. I'm under a spell, so there are many things I can't explain for you. Please forgive me! Please forgive me!!"
Xiao Jin scrambled to his feet in a panic, enduring the excruciating pain from his shattered internal organs, and then collapsed to his knees.
This was something the strongest prodigy of the Golden Scale Grotto-Heaven never expected.
His seemingly Heavenly Garment plan was ruined at the very beginning!
There's no such thing as "dead men tell no tales." They just killed you at your starting respawn point and ambushed you. Who could stand that?
Luo Lingxi used all her strength to take out the Talisman, presented it to the other party with both hands, and squeezed out a respectful greeting, the kind only she would use when addressing a sect Old Ancestor, through her throat filled with blood:
"Elder..."
However, Ye Li completely ignored her presence, raising his eyes to casually glance at Xiao Jin, who was hastily bowing. "Too late."
The Malice Points from the severely injured have been fully harvested.
If you want to shatter the Dao Heart of these geniuses, simply crushing them with superior cultivation levels is not enough.
We must use blood to warn them, and violence to crush them!
Boom!
As Ye Li's gaze fell upon Xiao Jin, an immense pressure, as heavy as a mountain collapsing, instantly crushed the still humbly begging Xiao Jin into nothingness!
[Publicly annihilated the young prodigy with the strongest temperament in the Golden Scale Grotto-Heaven for four thousand years, Malice Points +!]
"Aaaaaah!!--"
The blood of a prodigy splattered everywhere, and terrified cries immediately rose from the crowd. No one expected Ye Li to act so decisively!
Those are the rising stars of the new generation, treasured by the Golden Scale Grotto-Heaven!
Even if the person who came was at least at the Divine Connection Realm, wasn't this a bit too reckless? Wasn't he afraid of causing chaos within the Divine Continent?!
Fear spread at an alarming rate.
Countless individuals who should have become heroes are losing their qualifications to become True Person of the Divine Connection Realm at an alarming rate!
"Ho... ho...!"
Luo Lingxi's breathing was extremely rapid. She felt the warm red liquid on her face, and the fear in her heart was so great that it almost overwhelmed her reason. Her hands holding the Talisman trembled wildly!
Her mind went blank.
To be honest, there is still some room for explanation for Xiao Jin's behavior. Only when she used Talisman to influence the emotions of those present could she be considered irrefutable and irrefutable evidence of her crime.
However, even for someone like Xiao Jin, who could be killed or spared, Elder Ye did not hesitate to kill him on the spot.
Then what will become of me...?
Luo Lingxi's legs trembled violently, and her once bright pupils dilated and contracted dramatically. She was on the verge of a mental breakdown!
But her years of cultivating her Dao Heart were not in vain.
Even though more than half of the Four Continents' prodigies had collapsed under these circumstances, she had not completely lost her ability to think.
Its head simply drooped lower and lower until it finally touched the ground.
Fortunately, it seems that hard work pays off.
Luo Lingxi finally felt the Talisman presented to her palm being casually picked up by the other party.
I dared not show too much surprise.
Looking at the cloud-patterned boots so close to her, her slightly muffled voice became so obsequious that even she felt a little unfamiliar with it:
"Your Excellency, our Heavenly Talisman Sect's Old Ancestor has always enjoyed making friends. If we could sit down and discuss the Dao with you, this kind of Talisman..."
"Talisman?"
Ye Li's indifferent words interrupted Luo Lingxi's thoughts.
He casually crushed the crudely made Talisman, the particles of light falling into Luo Lingxi's palm with a sneer:
"No need, you can keep this trash yourselves."
Garbage?!
This is a top-grade Talisman that I obtained from the sect's Old Ancestor after going through countless hardships!
Luo Lingxi roared inwardly, her resilient Dao Heart on the verge of collapse.
She dared not delay any longer, nor dared she show the slightest displeasure. At that moment, she suddenly looked up. "My lord!!"
"I..."
Before she could finish speaking, she felt her senses suddenly distort.
To be precise, she experienced the same unparalleled, overwhelming pressure as Xiao Jin, as if billions of hectares of seawater were pouring into a river mouth, instantly crushing her body from above!
[Publicly killed Luo Lingxi, a prodigy at the fourth level of the Heaven and Earth Realm of the Heavenly Mansion Sect Heaven and Earth Realm! Malice Points +!]
"Aaaaaaah!!!"
The deaths of two leading prodigies in succession caused an even greater sense of fear to spread rapidly among the crowd!
