"As for my junior brother, others can kill him. The grudges of the Cultivation World are none of my concern, and I won't interfere. If his skills are inferior, then he must submit."
"Dying at the hands of a peer, even before his grave, I'd only say a few words about his lack of skill, rather than shamelessly take action against juniors."
It made perfect sense.
Even the fiery Ninth Elder said nothing upon hearing this because it's not only a rule of the Purple Cloud Palace but also an unwritten rule of the Cultivation World. Matters between peers are resolved by peers, and only if they can't be resolved will others step in.
Moreover, even if an elder does intervene, they usually don't go too far, at most ensuring the junior's safe retreat.
"Second."
The woman's voice remained indifferent, possessing an inexplicable divinity. Initially, when meeting her senior sister, she had more divinity, but as they spent more time together, she seemed more like a mortal woman.
Seeing the elders arguing here, Jiang Feng was unapologetic and directly plopped down on the ground. After stopping the Demon Heart Technique, he was injured. During the initial fight, with adrenaline surging, he hadn't felt much.
But once he stopped for a moment, the side effects clearly kicked in, and without regard for others' gazes, he directly operated his cultivation technique to restore his body. However, no sooner had he started when hearing his senior sister's next words almost caused his spiritual energy to reverse on the spot!
"You two aren't worthy to fight to the death with me; only to die."
"How bold!"
Clang—
A stream of gray-white spiritual energy visibly surged from the two elders, igniting the powder keg with just a few words!
After spending time with Jiang Feng, Liu Tangxi had indeed made much progress in angering others. Even Yang Protector's expression showed slight surprise as he stepped forward, positioning himself in front of Jiang Feng. Such pure explosions of cultivation were of no concern to them.
But not for Jiang Feng, this little brat is only at Core Formation.
"Alright, alright, indeed, I'm naive. I shouldn't have reasoned with you Swordmaster Peak mad dogs. Even Liu Jian of the past wasn't as arrogant as you!"
The Seventh Elder stepped forward, shaking his cane, causing its wooden shavings to burst away, revealing a nearly 1.5-meter long knife, which he held like a cane.
The Ninth Elder also flipped his hand to grasp a Dragon Spitting Pearl, both poised and ready, even if they usually have good tempers, such provocation might be hard to swallow.
"I'm in a good mood today. If you apologize, I might just let it go..."
Clang!
The incoming blade light was caught mid-air by Liu Xianzi.
It was a blade light compressed to its utmost, somewhat resembling the method Liu Tangxi used to discipline the demon monk before; she casually deflected it.
Boom—
The trees within twenty meters were all severed!
She swung her long sword, easily deflecting the Dragon Spitting Pearl falling from the sky. After a brief exchange, she nullified their attacks effortlessly.
Her expression still serene, she merely sighed.
"Junior brother, why does every time I kindly advise and truthfully inform, it stirs their pitiful and boring self-esteem?"
Used to it.
Every time she wanted to speak properly, this crowd wouldn't give her the chance. Liu Tangxi had zero emotional intelligence, always speaking directly, never beating around the bush. Once she formed a judgment, she'd speak bluntly.
Yet, it always turned out this way.
"If truth brings pain, lies only add insult to injury because you hit their sore spot, gave no face to these two old wastes. They think they're formidable, but they're no different from Xuan Yinzi, just despicable like a stray dog kicked dead by the roadside..."
Going for the face.
Jiang Feng's mouth was a lethal weapon as soon as it opened, especially for the elderly. Listening a bit longer risked high blood pressure.
Clang!
Yang Protector also knocked the bizarre Treasure Bead away in an instant!
His eyes filled with battle intent, for family protects family. A kick of the heel sent the long spear from the ground into his hand. Before he could hurl the Golden Thunder, Liu Xianzi's emotionless voice was heard.
"I'll handle this, you take him away."
"Yes."
Without hesitation upon hearing this, Yang Protector turned on his heels, picking up the half-dead Jiang Feng from the ground, leaving the battlefield to Liu Tangxi.
This was absolute trust.
Ordinary people might think this young Peak Master was overconfident or arrogant, insisting on facing two opponents alone while fellow disciples were present, but Yang Protector knew better.
He had witnessed Liu Tangxi in action firsthand. Asking him to take Jiang Feng away was out of concern for hurting the opponents.
"What guts, to truly dare a two-on-one? Do you think our Xuanyin Sect has no one? Heavenly Yin Impermanence Seal!"
Stepping back, gray-white Dharma Seals danced in the sky, like Five Finger Mountain, crashing down on her. Yet Liu Tangxi casually swung her sword, a slight tremor of the wrist, an invisible sword qi cleaving it.
Even up to now, Liu Tangxi hadn't actively attacked but kept dissolving their moves, her expression unchanged, seemingly awaiting something.
"Hmph, oblivious little girl, perfect time to settle new and old scores together."
"Even your master dared not be so arrogant. I've said my piece, your disciple's life is mine, and our Xuanyin Sect will spare no cost to hunt down this brat in the future!"
"I refuse to believe you can protect this kid forever, Bone Demonic Device, arise, Devil Spirit appear!"
Cultivation technique madly operated.
These two elders went all out without reservation, skipping any probing phase. Their full force effort was far beyond Jiang Feng and Xuan Yinzi.
The former two might have caused some commotion within a ten-plus meter radius, but these two elders flooded the entire valley with spiritual energy!
A diameter of five hundred meters, all covered in rising gray-white talismans, with countless gray-white figures tinged with blue wielding tridents flying skyward. Each bore wings, exuding an eerie sacredness.
It was as if a terrifying grand sacrificial ceremony was underway.
Swoosh!
With a casual strike, Yang Protector destroyed the gray-white figures behind him.
Those winged figures seemed eerie but were purely spiritual energy, suffused with a deathly aura. Yang Protector soon carried Jiang Feng beyond the array's range.
"Junior Master Yang... what exactly is that?"
Barely lifting his head, his eyes held a trace of curiosity.
"That?"
Finally halting his steps, looking at the terrifying commotion of the entire valley, Yang Protector wore a wry smile.
"Bone Demonic Device, it has no grade, purely dependent on the spellcaster's power, it's the Xuanyin Sect's most confidential and mysterious technique."
"Rumor has it a sect elder once witnessed this maneuver in a duel with Xuanyin Sect disciples. See those figures hovering in the sky?"
"It's not an offensive magic treasure but a summoning treasure, reportedly able to summon an extraterritorial Heavenly Demon, a bizarre monster unheard of and unseen in today's world."
"These two old fools going all out from the start was unexpected."
Relentlessly pressing on, Yang Protector carried Jiang Feng five to six li out, stopping in a secluded spot.
"Nephew, rest here a bit. I've already contacted the sect; someone will soon come to escort you. I'll head back to assist. Though Peak Master Liu is powerful, dealing with two renowned Xuanyin Sect experts is taxing."
"It's alright, Junior Master Yang, you needn't worry about my senior sister..."
Before the words were out.
Swoosh!
A white light streaked through the sky!
"Nephew, you wait here just a bit. I've already notified the sect; someone will soon come to get you. I'll go help. While Peak Master Liu is formidable, handling two famed Xuanyin Sect experts must still be challenging."
"Yes, Junior Master Yang, you don't need to worry. I'm sure my senior sister..."
Before he could finish.
Swoosh!
A white light split the sky!
