Hello, Blood Venerable!
A month passed in the blink of an eye.
Hundreds of cultivators at the fifth level or above gathered at the Azure Cloud Sect, a once little-known sect.
In this insignificant sect that they used to not even bother to glance at, they now didn't even have a seat.
A group of experts from the Cultivation Realm could only stand there in neat rows, gazing at the high platform.
There were twelve figures standing there at that moment.
This includes Venerable Yuan, Human Clan; Hai Qingshi, representing the Sea Clan; and the five Barbarian Ancestor, representing the Barbarian Clan.
Then there are the four masters of the Azure Cloud Sect.
Xiao Anhe, the Old Madam, the Supreme Elder Li, and Cui Yan.
However, compared to the other bigwigs, these few were on tenterhooks.
They were being stared at by a group of people they never even dared to imagine.
Feeling cold in your back is considered mild.
Feeling lost and confused, the four could only try their best to keep their eyes from turning to the audience.
To ease their tension, they all focused their attention on the person in the middle.
It wasn't just the four of them.
Venerable Yuan and the others also turned their attention to that person.
Along with it came hundreds of pairs of eyes below.
The person being watched by hundreds of eyes was none other than our protagonist Yi Xuan.
At this moment, almost all the big shots in the Cultivation Realm have gathered here.
This was to await Yi Xuan's next instructions.
But when they looked at Yi Xuan with anticipation...
But they discovered that Yi Xuan, who was standing on the high platform, had a very strange smile on his face.
"Mister Yi! Everyone's here. Please let us know what your arrangements are!"
As the Barbarian Ancestor, Man Si was the first to speak and offer a reminder.
Upon hearing his words, Yi Xuan's smile didn't fade; he simply nodded.
Then he raised his arm and pointed sharply into the crowd below.
The crowd below erupted in uproar upon hearing Yi Xuan's words.
Kill him!
No one expected that the first thing Yi Xuan did after summoning so many experts was to kill someone.
And that person was among the crowd.
Following Yi Xuan's guidance, everyone immediately focused their attention on that person.
"What?"
"How could it be him?"
"No way, what is Mister Yi trying to do?"
The person who was being pointed at also spoke to Yi Xuan with a face full of shame and indignation.
"Mister Yi, what do you mean by this? Have I offended you in some way?"
It turns out this person was none other than the former number one expert of the Dao One Immortal Kingdom!
The Dao Qianqiu!
This person is a benchmark in the Cultivation Realm.
Now he's actually been singled out and killed by Yi Xuan.
Regardless of whether he himself agreed or not, many people around him looked indignant after hearing Yi Xuan's order.
"Yes, even if you now rule the Cultivation Realm, you can't just kill whoever you want without any reason!"
"If you don't give a reason, I'll be the first to disagree with your request, Senior Dao!"
"Me too!"
"Me too!"
The reaction of the crowd below clearly shows that Dao Qianqiu holds an extraordinary position in the Cultivation Realm.
Yi Xuan estimated that even Venerable Yuan's status among the Human Clan cultivators might not be as high as Dao Qianqiu's.
Of course, this is normal.
After all, the former Venerable Yuan was known for his low profile, and even the Mystic Gate under his command had a negligible presence in the Central Continent.
Why would Venerable Yuan, whose life's goal is to save the Cultivation Realm, bother trying to make his presence known there?
Instead of wasting time, you'd be better off refining your own plans.
So, don't be fooled by the fact that it seems like Venerable Yuan is in charge of the Human Clan Cultivation Realm right now.
In fact, many big shots in the Cultivation Realm wield considerable influence.
Just like Dao Qianqiu right before my eyes.
Even among the many Loose Immortal above the fifth tribulation level, he possesses considerable influence.
Yi Xuan's order was not without reason.
Below, many people were clamoring and protesting, expressing their indignation on behalf of Dao Qianqiu.
Yi Xuan slowly stretched out his hands, signaling everyone to calm down and listen to his explanation.
But as soon as he raised his hand, Dao Qianqiu spoke up, further inflaming the crowd's emotions.
"Could it be that Mister Yi intends to make an example of me? To use this old man's life to intimidate all the powerful cultivators present and solidify your supreme position?"
With these words, the explanation I had prepared became completely unnecessary.
Yi Xuan naturally understood the hidden meaning in Dao Qianqiu's words, so his previously amused expression suddenly turned somewhat angry.
Seeing the crowd below was agitated, Barbarian Ancestor, Hai Qingshi, and Venerable Yuan quickly stepped forward to calm them down.
At the same time, all their eyes were focused on Yi Xuan.
Yi Xuan also sensed a hint of doubt in their eyes.
He wanted to explain, but guided by the Dao Qianqiu symbol, the area below the platform now resembled a bustling market.
Everyone was chatting and laughing, making it quite lively.
At first, they questioned why Yi Xuan wanted to kill Dao Qianqiu.
Later on, they even began to question whether Yi Xuan could save the Cultivation Realm.
When Venerable Yuan and the others saw this, they thought, "This is outrageous!"
If these cultivation masters become disloyal, it will have unimaginable consequences for Yi Xuan's plan.
So the group quickly tried to calm everyone down.
But at that moment, Dao Qianqiu actually looked up at the sky with a compassionate expression and sighed deeply.
"So be it. For the future of my Cultivation Realm, what is there to fear in dying alone?"
After saying this, Dao Qianqiu turned to Yi Xuan and asked, "Mister Yi! I only have one question for you: if the old man dies, will the Cultivation Realm be saved?"
That pitiful tone, coupled with his compassionate demeanor.
If Yi Xuan hadn't known the old man's true nature, he might have actually been moved by him.
However, although this Yi Xuan, it was extremely lethal to the crowd below.
At this moment, the emotions of the crowd below were like a nuclear bomb being detonated.
If it explodes, the resulting impact will be like a tsunami.
Even Hai Qingshi and the others realized that something was wrong and quickly gave Yi Xuan on the stage a series of meaningful glances.
Seeing the commotion below the stage, Yi Xuan did not back down as Hai Qingshi and the others had hoped. Instead, he silently gave orders to No. 01 in his mind.
What is that?
Soon, a huge black shadow suddenly appeared above everyone's heads.
Before anyone could react, there was a loud 'boom'.
Unit-01 was now firmly positioned behind Yi Xuan.
After fifty years, the aura emanating from Unit-01 was so powerful that even Venerable Yuan was terrified.
Not to mention the numerous Loose Immortal below who had reached the fifth tribulation level!
Sure enough, spittle is for counting money, but reasoning requires fists!
The appearance of Unit-01 even silenced Dao Qianqiu.
Yi Xuan then turned his gaze to him and said.
"You ask me why I want to kill you? Heh! Do you still remember the Blood Asura Gate?"
Blood Asura Gate?
"Don't you remember? Then what about this title? Blood Venerable?"
