The appearance of Orchid Fairy took everyone by surprise.
Unexpectedly, even the Great Emperor has a taste for this, liking married women.
However, no one knows if this is true, since words alone cannot be trusted. A woman cannot just claim to be the Great Emperor's Daoist partner, and it is so, right?
"Why do I not have a mount given by the Great Emperor, but the two of you have? It's unfair," Orchid Fairy said angrily.
Having just heard that these two are the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao's Daoist partners, she was furious.
Why is it that everyone's a Daoist partner, yet these two have such powerful mounts, and she doesn't even have one?
As Daoist partners, isn't this excessive?
After all, she divorced specifically for Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao.
"Why don't the three of you keep quiet? This is the domain of Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao, is this appropriate?" Peng Dahai stood out to mediate.
He had been listening all along, and seeing Orchid Fairy causing a scene, he frowned.
This is the Xiao Yao sect, and if she offends the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao, she is doomed.
No matter if she is the Great Emperor's Daoist partner or not, since she is a fellow disciple, let her shut up first.
[Who is causing a racket]
At this moment, a voice sounded in the sky, and Master Qingxuan descended from above, looking coldly at Orchid Fairy and the others.
"I just heard reports from disciples that there's a commotion, so I came to check. What's the matter?" Master Qingxuan frowned at the group. Causing trouble just after entering the sect?
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, there's nothing much, just a personal dispute, and it's been resolved," Yan Yu cupped his hands and replied.
"Hmm, it's been resolved," Gu Ying nodded in agreement.
"Hmm, as long as it's resolved," Master Qingxuan's face relaxed, nodding.
"Who said it's resolved? I want to see the Sect Leader!" Orchid Fairy suddenly jumped out and shouted, like a shrew.
With this, Master Qingxuan frowned again, "Silence! Is the Sect Leader someone you can see just because you want to?"
Earlier that morning, Chen Lan specifically instructed him to manage the sect well; he was going into seclusion, and no one should disturb him.
Now, another woman was yelling, and if she disturbed the Sect Leader's seclusion, it would be his fault!
"Heh, I'm the Sect Leader's Daoist partner. Is it not easy for me to meet him?" Orchid Fairy arrogantly relied on her status as the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao's Daoist partner and acted recklessly.
Upon hearing this, Master Qingxuan's face changed slightly, hesitating.
He was not sure if she was indeed the Sect Leader's Daoist partner. If she was, he couldn't act rashly.
But now the Sect Leader was in seclusion; what should he do?
"Mere words are not enough; how will you prove it?" Master Qingxuan said coldly.
"Heh, just take me to see him, and you'll know. He will surely recognize me," Orchid Fairy said with utmost confidence.
Seeing Orchid Fairy so confident, the crowd began to discuss.
"Damn, this foul woman is so confident; I just want to slap her."
"No way, would the Great Emperor really like such an unreasonable woman?"
"If it were me, I'd have slapped her dead."
"Just looking at her is disgusting. Her figure and appearance aren't as good as others, yet she's so confident. It's laughable."
Gu Ying and Yan Yu both frowned but said nothing because they too were unsure if this Orchid Fairy was indeed the Daoist partner of the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao. If she was, it would be troublesome.
Others chose not to interfere, thinking it best to stay out of it.
Seeing Orchid Fairy full of confidence, Master Qingxuan hesitated.
Could it be that the woman before him truly is the Sect Leader's Daoist partner?
[Who's causing such noise?]
At that moment, a voice suddenly exploded in everyone's mind.
In an instant, Master Qingxuan immediately bowed toward the Sect Leader's Hall, "Sect Leader."
Disciples outside of Huaxia all bent in salute, and seeing this, everyone followed suit, bowing toward the Sect Leader's Hall.
Even Peng Dahai and the others were not exceptions. After all, upon entering the Xiao Yao sect, they became disciples of the Xiao Yao sect. Paying respects to the Sect Leader is basic etiquette.
Except for Orchid Fairy, everyone paid respects to Chen Lan.
"Reporting to the Sect Leader, this woman claims to be your Daoist partner and requests to see you. What do you think..." Master Qingxuan pointed to Orchid Fairy.
"Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao, I'm the Orchid Fairy, your previous Daoist partner, do you remember?" Orchid Fairy excitedly introduced herself, seeing the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao finally willing to speak.
But what Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao said next left her stunned as if struck by lightning.
[Heh, what kind of stray creatures dare claim to be my Daoist partner?]
[Master Qingxuan, abolish her cultivation and throw her out]
Chen Lan's voice sounded, shocking everyone.
Could it be, this woman is not the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao's Daoist partner?
Hearkening his words, Orchid Fairy's face turned ghostly pale, screaming in horror, "I really am your Daoist partner, don't you remember?"
"Noisy!" Master Qingxuan was enraged. Since the Sect Leader had given the order, there was no need to endure.
With a palm strike, he summoned a massive palm of spiritual power, slamming it down on Orchid Fairy.
As a mere Nascent Soul, how could Orchid Fairy withstand Master Qingxuan's assault?
With a loud bang, she was struck down to the ground.
Then, with a pointed finger, Master Qingxuan sent a terrifying spiritual force that instantly destroyed Orchid Fairy's dantian, condemning her to never cultivate again!
"Ahhh!"
With her dantian destroyed, Orchid Fairy let out a blood-curdling scream, her face as pale as death.
It was over; from now on, she was just a cripple!
"Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao, you are truly vicious, to even cripple a Daoist partner!" Orchid Fairy resentfully lifted her head towards the Sect Leader's Hall, spitting a mouthful of blood.
Boom!
Suddenly, she exploded, her physical form and divine soul annihilated before everyone's eyes.
Seeing this, Master Qingxuan knew it was the Sect Leader who acted, and quickly retreated to the side.
The others dared not make a sound; it was clear to everyone that it was the Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao who acted.
The scene descended into a deathly silence.
Not until the Voice of Hongmeng resounded again did it break the quiet.
[Mounts' Golden List is open. In five minutes, heavenly materials and earthly treasures will manifest]
As soon as the words fell, a golden list descended from the sky, starting to announce the top one hundred.
"That's enough for today, the Sect Leader is not happy," Master Qingxuan said with a wave of his hand, making the blood on the ground disappear, as if nothing had happened.
Shortly after, Master Qingxuan left. The others were still a bit fearful, especially Gu Ying and Yan Yu.
At that moment, neither of them was sure whether Celestial Venerable Xiao Yao would recognize them as Daoist partners. If he did not, their fate would be the same as Orchid Fairy's for offending the Great Emperor.
However, Orchid Fairy deserved her fate, as she was using the tiger's might to bully others.
"We ought to lay low from now on," Yan Yu said fearfully.
"Hmm," Gu Ying nodded, setting aside her previous intentions.
It seems that becoming the Daoist partner of the Great Emperor is a long journey, not achieved by merely being Daoist partners in the game; one must also win the Great Emperor's favor in reality.
Alas, the road ahead is long.
Just then, eerie roars echoed from above, startling everyone.
When they looked up, they were stunned.
One after another, overwhelming mounts were appearing!
"This... they're all Immortal Beasts!"
