Two elderly figures with white hair and beards approached.

At the Unity Realm Stage, even if they appear elderly, their complexion should be slightly ruddy, indistinguishable from the young.

However, these two had sallow complexions, their faces lined with wrinkles, looking ancient and decrepit.

Li Yukun's aura suggested he was nearing the end of his days due to the Cultivation Technique he practiced, whereas these two appeared half-buried both in aura and appearance.

The two elders nodded indifferently and approached Sang Zhenglong from left and right, simultaneously stretching out hands to feel Sang Zhirou's pulse.

Immediately, a chilling killing intent erupted from the two elders' bodies, as they raised their heads to glance at the treetop nearby.

"Elder Sang, there is something peculiar about this matter!"

Jian Wuheng hastily bowed with fists cupped.

Yun Tao tightly gripped the hilt of his massive sword, his veins bulging as his entire body tensed up. His expression grew immensely grave, holding his breath to the point his heart seemed to slow its beating, panic flashing in his eyes as he tensed to the extreme!

He was well aware of these two elders' tempers, notorious for their willingness to strike even against the dean if displeased. Though they wouldn't kill Jiang Chen, interrupting him at this critical moment would cause significant loss.

Condensing Dao Rhythm wasn't a chance that appeared at will; it was far more challenging than condensing the Power of the Great Dao!

"Condensing Dao Rhythm?!"

"He actually comprehended Dao Rhythm!?"

The two elders realized what Jiang Chen was doing and exclaimed in surprise, a look of astonishment flashing in their eyes!

With a slight frown, Elder Sang looked down at Jian Wuheng: "Speak."

Jian Wuheng recounted the events.

"The identity badge suddenly disappeared?"

Elder Wu frowned: "How could the identity badge disappear? And it's undetectable? Does he know?"

"Elder Wu, Junior Brother Jiang has been comprehending the Great Dao, I'm afraid…"

Jian Wuheng replied with a somewhat troubled expression.

"If what you say is true, you are not to blame, but Zhi Rou's injury is indeed his doing. He must clear up this matter!"

Elder Sang coldly looked at Yun Tao.

Yun Tao breathed a sigh of relief, loosening his grip on the massive sword and cupping his fists: "Yes, we will definitely investigate thoroughly."

"Kid, it's clear you hold your junior brother in high regard, ready to fight against us for him?"

Elder Wu asked sardonically.

"Yes!"

At this moment, Yun Tao had no trace of tension as he looked directly into Elder Wu's eyes and replied earnestly: "Jiang Chen is my junior brother. Moreover, he assisted our teacher in healing the Primordial Spirit's injury and helped me in mastering my power. I, as his senior brother, feel indebted, and protecting my junior brother is a matter of course!"

"He helped your teacher heal a Primordial Spirit's injury?!"

Elder Sang looked at Yun Tao in surprise, a hint of tension appearing in his eyes: "How did he do it? Speak!"

"Junior Brother had a God Concealing Spirit Herb, which he gave to the teacher!"

Yun Tao responded softly.

"God Concealing Spirit Herb?! Does he have more?"

Elder Sang grabbed Yun Tao by the collar, asking urgently.

Elder Wu's eyes shot forth a hopeful gleam.

"What does Elder Sang take the God Concealing Spirit Herb for?"

Yun Tao spoke calmly.

Elder Sang's expression shifted slightly as he released Yun Tao's collar: "Do you know where he gained it?"

"It ought to have been from the Shadowless Sword Emperor's tomb, but it's already destroyed!"

Yun Tao thought for a moment and replied softly.

The two elders were momentarily stunned. Elder Wu sighed, gently patting Elder Sang: "Old man, let it go."

Buzzing noises!

Whoosh!

Just then, a mighty Great Dao pressure appeared in the sky, and a dazzling green brilliance shot straight into the heavens, scattering the clouds in the sky, turning the entire sky a vibrant green!

"What's happening?!"

"What's that?!"

"Did someone comprehend something?!"

"Let's go check it out!"

The cultivators within the forest awoke in surprise, flying towards Jiang Chen's treetop.

Swish!

"Scram!"

Yun Tao's figure flickered as he leaped to the treetop ahead of Jiang Chen, shouting vehemently at the silhouettes flying towards him.

The students advancing from the sky and the forest looked at Yun Tao then stopped in their tracks.

"Yun Tao, this isn't Qingmu Forest your family's estate, is it?"

A cultivator at the peak of the Divine Infant Realm shouted loudly, his figure about to continue advancing towards Jiang Chen.

"He Tianwei, are you asking for death?!"

Swish!

Yun Tao shouted angrily, drawing the massive sword from his back and charging towards the cultivator.

Rumbling!

A dazzling earthen yellow Great Dao Divine Light erupted from Yun Tao's body, containing awe-inspiring Sword Intent, the substantial press of Great Dao's heaviness filled the sky, pressing fiercely against his opponent.

A massive sword over three meters long emerged over Yun Tao's head, following him towards his opponent.

"Yun Tao, what are you doing?"

He Tianwei exclaimed in surprise, his face changing.

"When someone comprehends the Dao, they mustn't be disturbed; those who disturb us become mortal enemies. If you wish to become mortal enemies with Southern Maniac Mountain, then I'll kill you today!"

Yun Tao roared, raising his sword to strike He Tianwei.

"Stop!"

A loud voice rang out, and Dao Yeming suddenly appeared in front of Yun Tao, firmly grasping the hand wielding the sword.

"Elder Xi Nu, my junior brother is in the midst of Dao comprehension. I have forbidden others from approaching, but he continued charging over. I'm not wrong to want to kill him, am I?"

Yun Tao spoke in anger.

Dao Yeming turned to coldly stare at He Tianwei, saying in an icy voice: "Your teacher Elder Lu is being punished midway up Xi Mountain, so you should go as well!"

"Elder, I just wanted to observe, I had no intention of disturbing!"

He Tianwei's expression shifted, he argued anxiously.

"Will you choose to battle Yun Tao to the death or head to Xi Mountain for punishment?"

Dao Yeming spoke coldly.

He Tianwei's expression changed again, glancing at Yun Tao before flashing towards Xi Mountain.

He wasn't afraid of battling Yun Tao to the death, as he was a realm higher than Yun Tao and wasn't fearful of the fight; he was just concerned about Hu Yiqiu.

During the great competition, Hu Yiqiu had released the Integration Path, acquired realm aura, which everyone except those like the Elder Sang couple who had just emerged or were secluded, already knew.

He dared not fight Yun Tao to death; if he really killed Yun Tao, with Hu Yiqiu's protective nature, his own life would be forfeit.

"What's Jiang Chen doing?"

Dao Yeming glanced at the pervasive Great Dao Divine Light, astonishment flashing in his eyes.

"Junior Brother is condensing Dao Rhythm."

Yun Tao sheathed his massive sword and spoke quietly.

"What? Condensing... Isn't Elder Wine-crazed currently absent for protection?"

Dao Yeming was startled, exclaiming in surprise.

"The Master doesn't know, it was by chance that I encountered this moment. Junior Brother hadn't prepared; the sudden opportunity simply came!"

Yun Tao softly explained.

The sudden opportunity simply came…

Dao Yeming's eye twitched, feeling an urge to punch something.
