Zhang Yuxian displayed his Dharma Idol in full, his oppressive might filling the sky.

Lu Ze, however, faced him leisurely, seemingly unfazed, which surprised Zhang Yuxian.

A streak of Purple Lightning descended from the sky, and the Ferocious Buddha Dharma Idol behind Zhang Yuxian slowly dissipated, allowing the atmosphere in the arena to ease slightly.

"Elder Zhang, you cannot speak carelessly."

Chao Wendao looked at Zhang Yuxian with displeasure, his tone already somewhat hostile.

"Lu Ze is a True Heir of my Lingxiao Sect, and his reputation is the reputation of my Lingxiao Sect... yet you dare slander him for joining the Demonic Path!?"

Hearing this, Lu Ze couldn't help but curl his lip.

As for reputation... he lost that a long time ago.

"A Disciple of your Lingxiao Sect attempting to excuse a devil Cultivator—what crime is this?"

Zhang Yuxian was unrelenting, seizing upon Lu Ze's attempt to release the devil Cultivator as leverage, refusing to back down even when facing Chao Wendao.

"..."

Chao Wendao paused.

Whether it was Zhong Yi or Lu Ze, both were his cherished Disciples.

With two people consecutively speaking up for that devil Cultivator, there was likely a hidden truth to the matter, and the rumors circulating in the streets might not be false.

But standing in the position of Grand Elder, there were certain matters he genuinely found hard to intervene in.

"Although this request is unreasonable... since it is the reward for first place, delaying the matter slightly, investigating it, and then executing the reward is not impossible."

"Absolutely not."

Zhang Yuxian shook his head with a cold laugh.

He waved his large hand, and the massive Magic Array in the center of the Demon Subduing Platform lit up.

The next moment,

The young devil Cultivator called "Master Qing," and the dirty-faced mortal girl, were directly teleported here from the depths of the dungeon.

"The devil Cultivator..."

"Must die!"

Zhang Yuxian roared.

Under the desperate gaze of the youth and the girl, Zhang Yuxian's Ferocious Buddha Dharma Idol reappeared.

At Chao Wendao's fingertips, Purple Lightning surged.

After a moment of hesitation, he extinguished the Purple Lightning, turned his back with a complicated expression... On the border of the Dagan Kingdom, deep within the Sunset Immortal Valley.

A burly, unshaven male Cultivator had just exited the Illusion Realm, letting out a breath of stale air with a complex mood.

Qin Ming had just lent Spiritual Qi to three unfamiliar Cultivators to help them slay Stan and save Suteir.

Recalling everything he had experienced in the Illusion Realm, he couldn't help but rub his eyes again.

"Illusion Realm, Illusion Realm... I always heard Old Huang rambling about this thing, but I never expected it to be so profound!"

After muttering a few words to himself, he entered the Illusion Realm again and opened the forum section for "this devil cultivator is not so cold."

Players were still enthusiastically discussing various aspects of the Illusion Realm.

【Let me show everyone the paper crane my Suteir folded for me】

【Fellow Daoists, come share the thousand ways to torture Stan】

【Just completed the stage, feeling complicated... I plan to try again; this time, I will never let Suteir undergo Body Tempering to enter the Immortal Path...】

【How are the Illusion Realm rankings? Can I get first place?】

...After quickly scanning a few posts and sharing his opinions, Qin Ming posted again:

【Are there any other Fellow Daoists who need to borrow Spiritual Qi? Leave your name quickly.】

As soon as the post went up, people quickly responded.

【Holy cow! Which one is this now? Fellow ~Nоvеl𝕚ght~ Daoist, can you handle it!?】

【This must be the fourth one... Fellow Daoist, you are too fierce! Won't your Spiritual Qi be overdrawn?】

【Qin Mingxian... Your Excellency wouldn't truly be an Immortal, would you?】

【Me, me! Great Master, help me!!】

...Qin Mingxian was Qin Ming's "net name."

Originally, he wanted to use his Daoist Title "Daoist Qingming," but unfortunately, that name had already been registered, so he just used a homophone.

As for Spiritual Qi overdraft... partitioning off a small amount of Golden Core Stage Spiritual Qi was easier for him than breathing is for an ordinary person.

Just as Qin Ming was about to help the fourth netizen, a highlighted post was suddenly pushed in front of him—

【Suteir's Past and Present Life: Will she also lose her Li Ang?】
