Ye Tianfan summoned the Xuanlong Seal, a magical treasure filled with demonic qi that he had never used before. Using it would corrode his Sea of Consciousness and pollute his spiritual power.

But at this moment, there was no other way. If he used the Xuanhuang Tower, the backlash could seriously injure him, so he could only use the Xuanlong Seal to withstand the attack.

"Boom!"

A massive sound resonated as the demon's magical treasure slammed fiercely against the Xuanlong Seal.

The appearance of the Xuanlong Seal stunned everyone. No one could have imagined that someone in a righteous sect like the Taichu Sect would use such an evil, demonic treasure.

Bai Feng, in particular, was shocked as he stared at the demonic treasure. He never expected that Ye Tianfan would possess something so evil, and he looked at Ye Tianfan in disbelief.

Ye Tianfan felt a pang in his heart when he saw Bai Feng's gaze. Although he had anticipated people's strange looks when he revealed this treasure, he didn't expect it to happen so soon.

Perhaps he would be expelled from the sect after this.

Bai Feng staggered to his feet, glaring angrily at Ye Tianfan, while the demon who had been pursuing him earlier stopped attacking and instead watched the scene with interest.

Conflicts among the righteous sects always piqued the Demon Sect's interest.

"Tianfan! You liar!" Bai Feng roared at Ye Tianfan.

Hearing this, Ye Tianfan closed his eyes in pain, not wanting to see the anger and disgust in their eyes.

Bai Feng staggered towards Ye Tianfan, fiercely grabbing his collar and angrily said, "Didn't you tell me you only had the Xuanhuang Tower? And then the Xiaoyao Sword appeared! And now you have the Xuanlong Seal. How many more supreme magical treasures haven't you told me about? Speak!"

Hmm?

Ye Tianfan, although initially in pain with his eyes closed, was momentarily stunned by Bai Feng's words. He opened his eyes in disbelief.

"You... you're mad just because of this?" Ye Tianfan cautiously asked.

"What else did you think I'd be mad about?" Bai Feng was also stunned by the question. Wasn't this serious? He had been deceived. Wasn't that reason enough to be mad?

"Isn't it because of the demonic qi on the Xuanlong Seal?" Ye Tianfan asked, confused.

"Demonic qi? The Xuanlong Seal was polluted by a Demon Sect giant hundreds of years ago—it's well-known! Since you acquired it, you shouldn't discard it just because of the demonic qi. Besides, it's not a naturally demonic artifact. You can cleanse the demonic qi with spiritual power!" Bai Feng said as if it were the most obvious thing.

"Ah?" Ye Tianfan was bewildered. This wasn't a problem?

Ye Tianfan had worked tirelessly to hide this demonic treasure filled with demonic qi, concealing and covering it up, only to discover it was considered normal.

"Oh, so it's the Xuanlong Seal. I thought it was a demonic artifact!"

"Xuanlong Seal, huh. I envy him. He managed to acquire three supreme magical treasures at once. Looks like the Xuanhuang Tower and Xiaoyao Sword disappeared alongside the Xuanlong Seal back in the day!"

"Exactly! Exactly..."

Upon hearing Bai Feng's roar, the righteous folk suddenly understood. So it was a supreme magical treasure tainted by demonic qi, not a naturally demonic artifact.

The righteous individuals then continued to confront their adversaries.

As for Ye Tianfan and the few others, they were left in bewilderment.

The demon who had been chasing Bai Feng earlier, seeing Bai Feng clutching Ye Tianfan's collar, didn't know whether to intervene.

After all, the Demon Sect Leader Zhang Youji's instructions to Motolo were clear. If they hurt Ye Tianfan, he wouldn't be able to face the Sect Leader.

"Are you going to fight or not?" the demon cautiously asked.

"Shut up, I'm busy!" Bai Feng yelled back at the demon without turning his head.

Despite being filled with rage, the demon didn't make a sound and waited on the side.

Just you wait. Once you're done, I'll crush you to death.

"You don't think you're getting away with this, do you?" Bai Feng barked at Ye Tianfan, clearly irritated.

"No... I mean, about what... I mean..." Ye Tianfan struggled to explain.

"What? Stop muttering, speak clearly," Bai Feng demanded directly.

"I just thought a treasure filled with demonic qi shouldn't be exposed. When I got it, it was a supreme-level treasure. It would have been a waste to discard it, and if a demon found it, it would only increase the Demon Sect's strength. So I intended to cleanse it with spiritual power before revealing it," Ye Tianfan explained.

"How could that be? Discarding a supreme-level magical treasure just because it's polluted with demonic qi? That would be wasteful, and it would only strengthen the Demon Sect, right? Besides, if you know how to cleanse it with spiritual power, don't you think others in the righteous sect and the sect leaders know as well?" Bai Feng looked at Ye Tianfan as if he were a fool.

Embarrassed by those words, Ye Tianfan felt truly uncomfortable.

Motolo, standing to the side, chipped in: "Just like you righteous folks have magical treasures full of righteous energy, when we in the Demon Sect obtain them, we cleanse them with demonic qi. Even the leader of a minor sect like Blood River Sect uses the Daffodil magical treasure stolen from a righteous sect without cleansing it, and no one from the Demon Sect bothers him!"

Ye Tianfan, still engaged with Bai Feng, was reminded of the battle and his thirst for revenge when Motolo interrupted.

Immediately, Ye Tianfan broke free from Bai Feng's grasp, wielded the Fire Lotus Sword in both hands, and charged at Motolo.

"First strike."

Motolo gave a bitter smile, raising his right hand again to defend.

He'd hoped Ye Tianfan would be pushed to the Demon Sect's side, but didn't expect the Xuanlong Seal—it wasn't inherently demonic. Such a pity!

The Fire Lotus Sword in Ye Tianfan's hand gathered power as he executed the Ye Family Swordsmanship he used in his past life.

The exquisite Swordsmanship, coupled with the power of Ye Tianfan's Fire Lotus Sword, was like adding wings to a tiger.

Motolo no longer simply raised his right arm defensively; he was forced to swing it in exhaustion.

Soon, Motolo was panting heavily.

He had never witnessed a fighting style like this before. Usually, battles were straightforward, with either close or long-range attacks—never with such sophisticated techniques.

He couldn't even tell where the strikes were coming from.

Moreover, there were times when he felt like he couldn't exert force properly, and others when his arm felt like it was stuck to the Fire Lotus Sword, unable to move freely.

Motolo was thoroughly frustrated, but he held a growing respect for Ye Tianfan; he was worthy of being the Sect Leader's chosen one.
