Yun You's brainless interruption cut off the last retreat of the Celestial Punishment Daoist. After all, he was the one involved in the matter, and his words carried more weight than anyone else.

"Your disciples sure have big mouths!" Lin Kaizhong said with a fear of chaos: "Since he looks down on our cultivation techniques, why not bring out Kunlun Sect's techniques and let everyone compare their strengths."

As soon as these words were spoken, the dull eyes of the Celestial Punishment Daoist suddenly burst with fiery brilliance; it was nothing short of outright robbery!

If Yun You's behavior was touching a taboo, then Lin Kaizhong's words were enough to be sentenced to death, being hacked into pieces would not be excessive!

Looking at those solemn faces, Celestial Punishment Daoist suddenly felt that those who accuse others of shamelessness were the real hooligans.

Although he often did such things in the past, being treated like this for the first time made him understand that the pleasure built on others' pain is truly a painful death and exhilarating death.

"You... you intend to forcibly steal the cultivation techniques of my sect?!" Celestial Punishment Daoist shouted hoarsely, his tone lacked the former power and confidence, not just him and Daoist Lei Tong.

Even if Kunlun Sect Leader Daoist Tianxing were present, he wouldn't dare to provoke so many people at once!

"Robbery?" Lin Kaizhong suddenly widened his eyes, incredulously surveying the Celestial Punishment Daoist: "As expected from the second-in-command of Kunlun Sect, accusing others wrongly comes so easily for you!"

"You say we're robbing, then tell me where the stolen goods are? Can't say it? Then you're slandering, and everyone here can testify."

With this nonsensical argument, Celestial Punishment Daoist looked at the people nodding in agreement before him, wishing he could self-destruct his True Qi and perish with these shameless people.

Especially Lin Kaizhong, who made him gnash his teeth in hatred, casually accusing others, if he truly had that ability, he'd first give him a green hat!

Not only him, but even the disciples behind him were panting heavily, eyes fixed defiantly on those people, some were so angry that their eyes turned red, tears swirling inside.

Finally, someone couldn't hold back and strode forward, intending to protest against the shameless behavior of the counterpart. 𝑓𝑟𝑒𝘦𝓌𝑒𝑏𝑛𝑜𝘷𝑒𝘭.𝒸𝘰𝑚

However, he tried to speak several times unsuccessfully, and not only that, even his limbs couldn't move, as if a force was suppressing him, making each attempt to break free as hard as shaking a tree as an ant!

Celestial Punishment Daoist instantly realized who was secretly causing trouble, but thinking back to how he previously did a similar thing to a disciple of Saintly Sea Daoist, he could only swallow this bitter defeat.

Casually shielding the opponent's momentum, Celestial Punishment Daoist signaled to his disciples to be silent, angrily stepping forward and said: "Before you say such words, please ask yourself if you can achieve them."

Just after saying those words, Celestial Punishment Daoist felt his heart sink, starting to regret. It was a moment of anger without thought, and upon realizing the problem in his speech, it was already too late.

In fact, the interrogation from Celestial Punishment Daoist wasn't completely wrong, one could say everyone present was afraid to rebut except for one exception.

That exception was Lin Kaizhong, this busybody with no sect or affiliation, all by himself, his cultivation technique could be publicly shared without concern, for two reasons.

Lin Kaizhong's personality, hated and even loathed in some instances.

Indirectly proving the infamy of being a troublemaker wasn't in vain, even if he started a sect, few would dare seek apprenticeship, which is one reason.

Additionally, as he's bound by no sect, Lin Kaizhong, though lacking a great number of assistants, and resources support from behind, had fewer concerns and taboos compared to sect elders.

What others dare not do, might not be impossible for him!

All things considered, Celestial Punishment Daoist's comment was rather thoughtless, but adults must take responsibility for their words, with no place to buy regret medicine.

Sure enough, Lin Kaizhong chuckled: "Of course, I can. I'll just disclose all I have learned!"

As soon as he said it, Lin Kaizhong instantly pulled out a blue booklet from his bosom, with a white-framed title on the cover, vertically writing four big words: "Kai Zhong Treasure Manual."

"Everyone watch closely, within this booklet are not only my cultivation techniques, but also insights and important annotations. As long as one is entry-level, they can achieve half my standards within a month!"

Lin Kaizhong held up the book high, showcasing it to everyone, his voice resonating so each person heard it clearly, not missing a word.

Once his words fell, everyone present was stunned. If what Lin Kaizhong said was true, then the cultivation technique named after himself in his hands would surely be invaluable!

If they obtain the cultivation technique in his hands, ordinary disciples from various sects might reach at least elite standards in half a month, even current elite disciples could advance further beyond their original thresholds!

The question is, would such a heavenly fortune truly occur?

This query almost simultaneously arose in the minds of everyone present, as sudden happiness is often hard to accept.

Especially disciples from various sects, all faces were flush with anticipation, eyes frozen on the booklet Lin Kaizhong held, the fervent gaze seemingly able to ignite it from afar.

Some disciples could maintain calmness, but just a few, showing signs of temptation, their restrained and hesitant gaze was evident to anyone who saw.

Compared to disciples, elders remained more composed, showing surprise at first, then returning to their serene countenance, faces unflustered.

By now, elders from various sects have guessed most of the situation; firstly, Lin Kaizhong's words likely weren't false, teasing so many sect leaders at once, despite his considerable strength, still lacks such audacity!

Besides, there's no reason for him to do so, Lin Kaizhong may be eccentric and meddlesome, but it doesn't imply he's mentally unsound, he wouldn't engage in a venture where there's no gain but harm.

Considering Lin Kaizhong's words as true, the situation becomes clear!

Because what Lin Kaizhong mentioned, one could achieve half his standard within a month, included a main premise—entry-level, the crux likely lies here.

Observing the blue booklet in Lin Kaizhong's hand titled "Kai Zhong Treasure Manual," sect elders' eyes changed several times, reminding them of another acclaimed, legendary cultivation technique—"Sunflower Manual."
