The two people present could feel the grievance and anger in his words, so Yuan Changwu only recognized that it was Old Pavilion Master Huang had deceived him.
The two people present were both startled upon hearing about the Wuji Creation Pill.
Having been trapped in the Land of Exile for many years, many cultivators at the Lesser Immortal Realm had secretly inquired about this elixir, but had only heard of it and never seen it.
Unexpectedly, Yuan Changhe was actually able to refine such a divine treasure. Seeing that Yuan Changwu's expression of shame and anger seemed genuine, Deng Shouchong fell into deep thought for a moment.
Thinking back to Yuan Changwu's various unusual behaviors in Blackwater City, he knew that the Pill Cauldron Sect might have been planning to refine the Wuji Creation Pill for a long time.
It's said that the elixir requires the Inner Core of a Mist Beast as a catalyst. Does Yuan Changwu have the ability to hunt down Higher Mist Beast?
Regardless of whether it was as a force of the City Lord's Manor's Mansion or the grudge between him and Yuan Changwu, he did not want Yuan Changwu to break through to the Earth Immortal Realm realm, both for public and private reasons.
But unexpectedly, the Pill Cauldron Sect actually managed to refine the Wuji Creation Pill. This was a plan to create immortality right under the nose of the City Lord's Manor.
The city lord has been searching for the location of the Ancestral Spirit all these years, but he has neglected to observe other forces.
Seeing Yuan Changwu suffer a setback, Deng Shouchong felt a strange sense of relief. No matter who disrupted the Pill Cauldron Sect's immortal-creating plan, it was a good thing for the City Lord's Manor.
But he couldn't say that now. Yuan Changwu's pills had been intercepted, and he had clearly gone mad. He was about to launch an attack if he wasn't careful.
" Yuan Changwu! Bullshit! Old Pavilion Master Huang has already exhausted his lifespan and passed away long ago. How could he possibly possess a corpse and cause trouble at your South Si Dao Field?!"
Chen Yuping was extremely well-mannered, and upon hearing Yuan Changwu's words, she also became furious.
She was also amazed by the Pill Cauldron Sect's plan to create immortals, and naturally knew that if Yuan Changwu really achieved the Immortal Realm, then the interests of her Rogue Cultivators Association would be harmed.
At this point, Yuan Changwu's hope of becoming an immortal was dashed, and maintaining the status quo Rogue Cultivators Association.
But this fellow is now pinning the blame on Old Pavilion Master Huang. A dead man can't possibly come out to explain, so she simply revealed the news of Old Pavilion Master Huang's death.
"Hehehe! Who says otherwise! That Old Huang really has returned from the dead, and he even brought a Mist Beast's Inner Core! Does he have the ability to hunt Higher Mist Beast? Or will Branch Master Chen lend him a hand?"
Yuan Changwu's face was contorted unnaturally, his eyes filled with a sinister smile.
His chest heaved as he spoke, as if he were trying to suppress his anger, and he smiled sinisterly at the two of them.
The meaning behind those words couldn't be clearer: Chen Yuping was behind this incident, since not just anyone could obtain the Inner Core of Higher Mist Beast.
Mist Beast Inner Core?
Upon hearing Deng Shouchong was suddenly taken aback; he hadn't actually thought of Branch Master Chen.
Because Branch Master Chen had no immediate family in Phoenix City, she seemed to always be alone, only gaining many followers after establishing the Rogue Cultivators Association.
But the Wuji Creation Pill is a treasure that can help one achieve the Immortal Realm; surely it's not worth risking one's life to retrieve the Inner Core the Mist Beast for these followers?
Deng Shouchong naturally knew that Old Pavilion Master Huang was dead, and that he had personally strangled him; only Ma Fang and his group knew this.
Upon hearing Yuan Changwu's words that " Old Pavilion Master Huang brought the Inner Core Mist Beast to the Pill Cauldron Sect for trading," he couldn't help but wonder: If Branch Master Chen hadn't hunted Higher Mist Beast, where did the Inner Core come from?
Considering Yuan Changwu's unusual behavior in Blackwater City, Blackwater City, the Inner Core the Mist Beast, the Wuji Creation Pill, the Immortal...
Deng Shouchong suddenly realized that he seemed to have overlooked someone.
Although this person seems to be gone, the impression he left on me was very deep. Now, if I connect the known clues, the result will be much clearer.
Mo Yu!
It's that cultivator named Mo Yu!
Mo Yu knew about the execution of Old Pavilion Master Huang, and Mo Yu was the one who resisted the Mist Beast tide in Blackwater City. Even the Higher Mist Beast targeted Mo Yu.
After escaping with Ma Fang and his group, they all believed that Mo Yu had perished in the Mist Beast tide. However, Yuan Changwu reminded them that Mo Yu had definitely not perished in the Mist Beast tide.
Moreover, he displayed great power by hunting down a Higher Mist Beast, and then reappeared in Phoenix City to trade Mist Beast Inner Core with the Pill Cauldron Sect. Could the cultivator who passed through the six layers of city gate barriers also be him...?
After a brief moment of calculation, Deng Shouchong realized that Mo Yu had definitely not been overwhelmed by the Mist Beast tide; he was currently in Phoenix City!
Mo Yu not only caused such a commotion in Phoenix City, but also surprised Deng Shouchong. Fortunately, the City Lord's Manor was not affected, and he still agreed with Mo Yu's actions.
But now the situation on the field has become chaotic. Deng Shouchong already had a grudge against Yuan Changwu, and seeing him launch the first attack, he criticized him without any mercy:
"The three seniors gave us many instructions before leaving the city. Now, with the Mist Beast Tide looming, it's unacceptable for the three forces to fight amongst themselves. Yuan Changwu, you were wrong to make the first move!"
After Deng Shouchong, Yuan Changwu's face suddenly turned gloomy. His chest heaved, his Adam's apple bobbed, and he was about to unleash a torrent of angry curses when Deng Shouchong quickly interrupted him, continuing:
" Old Pavilion Master Huang is dead. Branch Master Chen would never deceive you. Think carefully, have you truly identified Old Pavilion Master Huang's true form? As for the Wuji Creation Pill, I think Branch Master Chen is right!"
Looking at the chaotic scene in the North Division Dao Field, Deng Shouchong guessed that the Rogue Cultivators Association suffer significant losses this time, and the Pill Cauldron Sect would also be severely damaged after being tricked by Mo Yu.
Both of those factors were weakened in a short period of time, which was advantageous to the City Lord's Manor. At this moment, he spoke in a roundabout way, trying to resolve the matter Tai Chi Chuan.
Upon hearing this, Yuan Changwu recalled for a while the scene of meeting Old Pavilion Master Huang.
He recalled that he was only focused on the Inner Core of the Mist Beast in the brocade box at the time, and did not pay much attention to Old Pavilion Master Huang himself. He wondered who would dare to play tricks under the nose of Yuan Changhe, an Earth Immortal.
Upon realizing this, Yuan Changwu was suddenly startled. The Inner Core of the Mist Beast in the brocade box was indeed genuine, so was it possible that Old Huang was a fake?
I was so focused on the brocade box and its contents that I forgot to test Old Huang.
A sense of shame welled up in Yuan Changwu's heart, but at this point, he naturally could not admit that he had made a mistake.
Seeing Deng Shouchong's expression, as if he had already determined that he was wrong, Second Master Yuan was filled with rage and roared inwardly:
" Deng Shouchong! Stop trying to smooth things over! If you say it wasn't Old Huang who did it, then who did it?!"
"Our City Lord's Manor's Mansion acts with integrity and would never do such a despicable thing!"
Meeting Yuan Changwu's probing gaze, Deng Shouchong deliberately puffed out his chest, his square face looking up at the sky with an air of righteous indignation, seemingly disdainful of the doubt in Yuan Changwu's words.
Several breaths passed after he spoke, and neither Yuan Changwu nor Chen Yuping offered a proper rebuttal, causing the atmosphere in the room to freeze for a moment.
Deng Shouchong slightly taken aback, then withdrew his gaze and looked at Yuan Changwu and Chen Yuping, who were both stunned. He thought to himself: Has Second Yuan changed his ways? Why isn't he refuting me? I was all prepared to have a verbal battle!
At this moment, Yuan Changwu, who had been stunned, suddenly turned his gaze to Deng Shouchong. His eyes, Central Plains had been filled with shock, turned into anger when he met Deng Shouchong's eyes.
His blank expression turned sinister, his eyes practically spitting fire, his chest heaving violently, and he spoke, as if forcing each word out of his throat, towards Deng Shouchong's figure:
"Deng! Shou! Chong!"
"Fellow Daoist Deng! Someone in the City Lord's Manor has broken through to the Immortal Realm! Quickly, see what's going on!"
At this moment, Chen Yuping also realized what was happening, frowned and quickly spoke to Deng Shouchong, but her gaze was still fixed on what was behind Deng Shouchong.
In the direction of the City Lord's Manor, something seemed to be firmly drawing his gaze.
Seeing Yuan Changwu's murderous expression, Deng Shouchong knew something was wrong. Hearing Branch Master Chen's words, he quickly turned around, and when he saw the direction of the City Lord's Manor...
Deng Shouchong green!
Who the hell broke through to the Immortal Realm in the City Lord's Manor?!
At this moment, colorful trails spread out in the sky above the City Lord's Manor. Countless colorful trails seemed to come from beyond the heavens, bringing a strong auspicious scene, and appeared in the Land of Exile.
Above the colorful trails were layers of five-colored clouds, which stretched across the sky above the City Lord's Manor 'City Lord's Manor, making it appear as if it possessed an ethereal, otherworldly aura.
Above those five-colored clouds emanated endless precious light, so dazzling that it could be clearly seen even from thousands of miles away.
As the precious light emanated, countless streaks of light flashed by. A dazzling meteor streaked across the five-colored clouds, its long trajectory coming from beyond the heavens, its magnificent colors lingering above the City Lord's Manor.
A vast and mighty force descended from beyond the heavens. It seemed that the Reincarnation Temple Heavenly Dao reincarnation had visited this place for the first time. The appearance of the celestial Celestial Phenomenon was accompanied by a strong Power of Laws, a sight that shocked countless living beings and lingered in the sky above the City Lord's Manor for a long time.
Everyone in the Land of Exile stared in shock at the center of Phoenix City. The golden pillar of light seemed to sense the might of the heavens, swaying slightly in the air, its golden light shining in sync with the Celestial Phenomenon.
Who has broken through to the Immortal Realm!
Who caused this upheaval in the heavens and earth?!
Who had the chance to become an immortal in the Land of Exile!
Deng Shouchong's gaze was completely captivated. As he looked at the auspicious celestial Celestial Phenomenon, a sense of melancholy welled up within him.
He had been stuck at the Lesser Immortal Realm for a long time, and was destined not to break through while in Land of Exile.
Seeing someone of his generation defy the power of confinement and forcefully step into the Earth Immortal Realm realm today, he couldn't help but feel a little emotional.
How he wished that the auspicious celestial Celestial Phenomenon above the City Lord's Manor was caused by him!
As his thoughts returned, he recalled the "anomaly" the city lord had mentioned in the divination—a powerful ascension to immortality in the Land of Exile —wasn't that an anomaly?
Just as he was feeling sentimental, Yuan Changwu's vicious words reached his ears again.
" Deng Shouchong! What else do you have to say? So it was you who was behind this!"
After Yuan Changwu finished speaking, he swept past Chen Yuping and Deng Shouchong in mid-air.
Chen Yuping, standing to the side, also frowned. He knew how important the Wuji Creation Pill was to Yuan Changwu. Could this really be the work of the City Lord's Manor's Mansion?
Branch Master Chen frowned, her heart aching as she looked at the chaotic North Division Dao Field.
These were all forces she had personally built up, and after a series of inexplicable incidents, the North Division Dao Field had completely lost face.
Branch Master Chen glanced at the treasure vault in the dock, and was about to leap up and head towards it when he received another broken communication talisman in his hand. After scanning it with his divine sense, his expression changed drastically.
She immediately looked up towards the direction of the treasure vault, only to see countless cultivators fleeing from there, their faces filled with undisguised fear.
As Branch Master Chen pondered the message in the communication talisman, she suddenly stopped in her tracks...
Deng Shouchong watched Yuan Changwu approach. He had no idea what had happened above the City Lord's Manor, or who had broken through to a higher realm.
The righteous expression on his face had vanished completely. He had said he wouldn't interfere in the affairs of the City Lord's Manor, but the next second, auspicious celestial Celestial Phenomenon appeared above the City Lord's Manor. This was a slap in the face!
Seeing that Yuan Changwu was about to make another move, he had a thought, and the Dharma Banner in the air quickly swept in and blocked the two of them. With a flash of precious light, Yuan Changwu's figure was separated from him.
Before Yuan Changwu could unleash another torrent of abuse, Deng Shouchong, as if sensing something, flashed a glint in his eyes and immediately said to Yuan Changwu:
" Yuan Changwu, don't be so presumptuous! The three seniors are about to return to the city. You certainly won't believe me if I try to explain now. Wait until they return, then you can go and speak to them yourself, and I will have no objections!"
"Snort!"
Upon hearing Deng Shouchong's words, Yuan Changwu was not about to swallow his anger. He waved his sleeve in front of the Dharma banner, and the black whisk transformed into a streak of light as he was about to dash out.
But at this moment, Branch Master Chen quickly spoke up to defuse the situation. Her tone was urgent, and she looked at Deng Shouchong with anxious eyes, saying:
"Fellow Daoist Deng, stop immediately! Traces of Mist Beast tide have been discovered in the treasure vault of my North Division Dao Field!"
"What!"
" Mist Beast!"
Upon hearing Chen Yuping's urgent words, Yuan Changwu and Deng Shouchong stopped simultaneously. They looked at Chen Yuping and exclaimed in surprise, then followed Branch Master Chen's gaze toward the treasure vault in the dock.
There are indeed traces of Mist Beast horde!
A glint flashed in Deng Shouchong's eyes, his expression shifting rapidly. His gaze held a mixture of shock and urgency as he repeatedly asked himself: Why are there traces of Mist Beast tide within Phoenix City? Did the three Earth Immortal outside the city know of this?
Meanwhile, Yuan Changwu's expression shifted repeatedly. Seeing traces of the Mist Beast tide in Phoenix City was the most terrifying thing he could imagine. Was Phoenix City about to fall?
When the horde of Mist Beast surged forth, the three were in a state of utter confusion. However, they stopped attacking each other and, under the threat of the Mist Beast, developed a certain tacit understanding.
After briefly surveying the situation from the air, Deng Shouchong became extremely anxious.
He was a member of the City Lord's Manor and was responsible for the defense of Phoenix City. When he discovered traces of Mist Beast tide at the North Division Dao Field, he was even more anxious than Branch Master Chen.
