"Lin Xing!" The robust man who was blasted away strode forward, his temper flaring to the extreme, ready to attack again.

A ribbon of literary energy suddenly fell from the sky, pulling them apart and interrupting their fight.

He Youyi stepped out from the arc of literary energy,

"What's the matter, causing such a commotion?"

The black-robed elder quickly stepped forward, bowing as low as possible,

"Disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect harmed disciples of our Luofu Mountain! Please, Mr. He, do justice for us!"

The robust man imitated him,

"Disciples of the Eternal Immortal Sect harmed disciples of our Green Blade Sect! Please, Mr. He, do justice for us!"

He Youyi looked at Fan Wubing, pondering, then said,

"Fan Xiaoyou, tell us what happened."

Fan Xiaoyou?

Mr. He addressed Fan Wubing like that? Could it be, they knew each other before!

The black-robed elder and the robust man's hearts sank instantly, neither understanding how Fan Wubing, a cook with no cultivation, could be associated with Mr. He, a great scholar.

Fan Wubing stepped forward, performed the etiquette, and recounted the events in full detail.

After listening, everyone… clearly, justice was on the side of the Eternal Immortal Sect. Green Blade Sect and Luofu Mountain disciples first attempted an unsuccessful ambush, intending to eliminate everyone, and in the end, they were counterattacked and annihilated. Who could they blame? Naturally, only themselves.

The black-robed elder's gaze flickered, catching discrepancies in Fan Wubing's account,

"No! If what he says is true, then that night, Jiang Maodian had not recovered from his injuries and was not in peak condition, and Fu Manman and others were of low cultivation. Fan Wubing was merely a cook without cultivation, how could they possibly have overcome Xu Lengshi and Yi Shanhe, both Eighth-Layer Golden Cores!"

He bowed to He Youyi,

"Mr. He, I have reasonable suspicion that they used abilities above the Golden Core, violating the rules you set before!"

Luo Qingyao stepped forward, hands on her hips, exuding the demeanor of a noble lady, and scolded the black-robed elder,

"You old scoundrel, truly short-sighted! A cook without cultivation? Do you still think my senior brother is just a cook? Let me make it clear: if it weren't for my senior brother, we might have all died in that sanctuary, with no one surviving! Hmph, blame your so-called mountain and sect for not knowing better!"

What?

Luo Qingyao's words shocked everyone even more.

What did she mean… if not for Fan Wubing, no one would have survived?

He Youyi had known beforehand that there was an issue in the Peach Blossom Spring, but he didn't know how the issue had been resolved… Now it appeared it was Fan Wubing. A hint of contentment appeared at the corner of his eyes, and he had a good idea of who benefitted from the great harvest.

He shook his head,

"Enough. No need to say more. It was said beforehand, in the sanctuary, one's life and death are their own responsibility. Moreover, the Eternal Immortal Sect holds the moral ground, and even if they didn't, they are not responsible for the deaths of Luofu Mountain and Green Blade Sect disciples."

"Mr. He!"

Seeing the black-robed elder was dissatisfied, He Youyi asked,

"If it were your Luofu Mountain and Green Blade Sect disciples who killed the Eternal Immortal Sect disciples… would you seek justice from me then?"

Their words stopped them completely.

The black-robed elder and robust man, filled with resentment, gritted their teeth at the Eternal Immortal Sect side, especially at Fan Wubing.

Lin Xing snorted coldly,

"If dissatisfied, come fight me once. Are you, at your age, thinking of taking it out on ten-year-old kids?"

"Hmph, let's go!"

The two factions from Luofu Mountain and Green Blade Sect left without looking back, riding their respective flying Spiritual Treasures.

What's the point of staying when all their disciples were dead? To be laughed at?

Lin Xing bowed to He Youyi,

"Thank you, Mr. He, for ensuring justice."

He Youyi shook his head,

"There really wasn't much to say. In the sanctuary, if you lose and die, you can only blame your own inadequate cultivation."

All the disciples had come out.

The Peach Blossom Spring, amidst a tremor, slowly retracted its brilliance and turned into an ordinary city.

"Hmm?" He Youyi watched as the Peach Blossom Spring closed, a bit perplexed, something seemed off… Generally, at this moment, shouldn't it slowly return to the void under the collection of purple aura? Why turn into an ordinary city instead?

In the clouds, Zhu Zixuan was even more puzzled, turning into a beam of light and hurriedly descending to investigate.

He stood on the streets of Nanlai City, looking around… not a soul in sight, everything shrouded in a layer of dust and quickly weathering away. Sand and gravel peeled layer by layer from the stones underfoot and from the buildings, turned to dust, and vanished in an instant. The whole city was… fast returning to nothingness.

His heart was filled with shock!

What is going on! Why does the Peach Blossom Spring look like it's about to collapse!

He expanded his soul, instantly covering the entire Peach Blossom Spring to search for the cause.

Quickly, his pupils constricted, followed by a step forward, instantly reaching the end of a street.

Here, there was a giant pit.

The soil in the pit was still a bit moist, indicating it had appeared not long ago.

Zhu Zixuan stared blankly at this big pit…

He vaguely remembered, there… used to be a parasol tree. It was precisely this parasol tree that supported the entire sanctuary, nurtured blessings, set the "rules," allowing the sanctuary to return to its original state regardless of the injuries sustained.

Why?

Where did the parasol tree go!

Could it be, someone had dug it up as a blessing?

But, could that thing be dug up!

Those who came before planted the tree for future generations' shade, someone wasn't here for the shade, but to dig the tree!

The parasol tree could be dug up!

He stood dazedly on the street, trying to trace back through the various traces of things, to explore and clarify the origin and the course of events.
