Five Element Sect is a prestigious sect, renowned far and wide, and holds equal status with the Eastern Shaolin, known as the central plains' greatest. Now, they have been confronted by someone who even injured a Mountain Patrol Disciple. Such an incident is nothing short of a slap in the face.
Finally, the higher-ups within the sect were stirred, and someone stepped forward to speak, though their presence was felt before they arrived.
Two dark, gleaming long spears shot out from deep within the Five Element Sect. The spears had an unusual shape, appearing as if they had just been forged, with rough craftsmanship.
The two spears arced high above and swiftly shot towards the front, aiming at the two old men.
The two old men’s expressions changed simultaneously as they exclaimed, “Yiyuan Dharma Manifestation Technique! It’s Young Sovereign!”
Immediately, they activated their Qigong and raised their hands, palms facing forward, forming a light barrier with their Qigong to block the two spears.
When the spears collided with the light barrier created by the two old men's palms, their speed immediately slowed down.
“Yiyuan Dharma Manifestation Technique?”
Lu Chen stood among the crowd watching. He had heard of Young Sovereign’s reputation but had never seen him in person until now. Witnessing him personally take action against an external threat left him profoundly shocked; he truly lived up to being the Vice Master Supreme of the Five Element Sect.
While his true self was still cultivating in the Master of Tongfeng celestial palace, he unleashed his renowned technique, Yiyuan Dharma Manifestation Technique, shooting it over dozens of miles to intimidate the two old men.
Lu Chen recognized that the two spears were transformed from green leaves by the Yiyuan Dharma Manifestation Technique, meaning that what was currently confronting those two old men were merely two pieces of green foliage.
“Vice Master Supreme has made his move; we worship him.”
The surrounding Inner Sect Disciples were all stunned. Although they were dozens of miles away, they were still shaken by this scene to the point where they could barely speak.
Two old men exerted their strength simultaneously, and the Flesh trembled, unleashing a powerful Qigong internal force that shattered the two long spears.
With the loss of support, the spears immediately fell to the ground, transforming back into green leaves, returning to their original form.
"Void Immortal."
The two old men exhaled at the same time, slightly shocked. As the spears reverted to leaves, their expressions gradually returned to normal. They brushed off their robes, and the confrontation ended just like that.
Both of these men were skilled in Qigong at the Three-Stage Divine Power Golden Body level, but against the Young Sovereign, a master of the Law of the Realm's Yin Spirit, they had no chance of winning. The Young Sovereign had cultivated both life and spirit, reaching the Law of the Realm with his Yin Spirit; it was likely that his Qigong level was not low either.
"I thought who it was; it turns out to be the Black Fist Sect Leader and one of the Three Poisons Wanderers, the Yellow Scorpion Master. Why have you trespassed on my mountain gate and injured my Mountain Patrol Disciple? I request a reasonable explanation from both of you."
The voice of the Young Sovereign echoed from within the Five Element Sect, resounding like waves of water, mixed with a thick Qigong internal force that coalesced and did not dissipate, directly reaching this place.
"So it is Vice Sect Master Shao Huang. Since you are here, this matter will be much easier to handle."
The Black-Robed Old Man spoke more politely, but his expression remained stern as he stood with his hands clasped behind his back and said angrily, "I He Yingqing have come today personally because my son died violently within Five Element Sect's territory. As his father, I naturally must seek justice for him."
He Yingqing spoke earnestly. The words reached the Five Element Sect, and the Young Sovereign responded, "He Yingqing, this matter I will investigate and provide you with an answer. However, your son entered my Five Element Sect with arrogance and formed cliques; he should not have done so. Now that he has suddenly died violently, it is merely retribution for his actions. I hope He Zhaozong will take heed."
Upon hearing this, He Yingqing's Flesh trembled as he forcibly suppressed his anger. Although he was also a sect leader with a noble status, he found himself unable to even meet the other party’s face during this visit. The promise of an investigation and an answer felt like empty words; it was truly too much to bear.
He Yingqing paused for a moment and calmly said, "Young Sovereign, regardless of my son's faults, it is my responsibility as He Yingqing to discipline him at home. How can outsiders interfere? Moreover, my son's death was caused by your sect's Pure Yang Child's Xuan Yin Flying Sword, which shattered his brain; it was a gruesome sight. How do you explain this?"
The Xuan Yin Flying Sword was crafted by Pure Yang Child of Five Element Sect during his travels in the extreme cold of the North Pole when he encountered an ice crystal that had cultivated its own consciousness. He immediately collected its ice soul and spent a large amount of Yin Yuan to eradicate its will before refining it into a sword as thin as a hair.
Indeed, ice crystals could also cultivate consciousness and become monsters; however, it had been collected by Pure Yang Child and turned into his treasured weapon.
Young Sovereign seemed to be discussing something with someone. After a moment of silence, he said, “He Yingqing, the tragic death of your son has nothing to do with my Five Element Sect. Pure Yang Child is right in front of me, and his Xuan Yin Flying Sword was lost many days ago. Your son's death has nothing to do with him.”
“Lost the Flying Sword? Young Sovereign, do you take me for a three-year-old child, thinking you can dismiss me like this?” He Yingqing shouted, feeling extremely dissatisfied.
A sword is a weapon of great importance, especially a high-quality Flying Sword, which cannot be measured by mere Silver and Gold. Every Qi Master regards it as their life and livelihood; how could it be easily lost? He felt that Five Element Sect was trying to brush this matter aside and evade responsibility.
“He Yingqing, my Flying Sword has indeed been lost for quite some time. I have been suffering greatly, staying at the Elder Immortal Academy, never leaving my home. How could I possibly kill your son? The hundreds of elders at the Elder Immortal Academy can testify for me. If you don’t believe it, just ask them.”
These words were not from Young Sovereign, but carried a tone of anger that could only belong to Pure Yang Child. Having his prized Flying Sword taken and now being wrongfully accused—who could endure such a situation without getting angry?
Once these words were spoken, the surroundings finally quieted down. He Yingqing also calmed down; his hefty chest rose and fell as he breathed. Now that even Pure Yang Child himself had come forward to clarify, and with hundreds of elders from the Five Element Sect Elder Immortal Academy willing to vouch for him, if he continued to make a fuss and disregarded the bigger picture, he would only appear in the wrong and lacking in righteousness.
As the leader of a sect, He Yingqing naturally understood these principles. He forcibly suppressed his anger and decided to let it go.
“Yellow Scorpion Master, He Yingqing came here seeking revenge for his son’s death. What brings you here?”
The tone of Young Sovereign was somewhat mocking. The reputation of Three Poisons Wanderer was not good, often labeled as an evil cult by the public.
The thin old man in gray robes chuckled upon hearing this and replied, “Young Sovereign, I received five hundred thousand taels of silver from the Governor of Luzhou. I am here to investigate the cause of death of the Governor’s Second Young Master Chen Shihu. I hope that the esteemed Vice Sect Master of the Five Element Sect can provide justice and not engage in any favoritism or cover-ups that would tarnish your reputation.”
It turned out that the Governor of Luzhou had two sons, and it was the Second Young Master Chen Shihu who was killed by Lu Chen.
“Oh? Hmph, so you’re saying that Yellow Scorpion Master is taking money to investigate on behalf of others? You intend to look into my Five Element Sect, then?” said Young Sovereign, intrigued.
Yellow Scorpion Master sneered disdainfully and said, “That is indeed my intention.”
As soon as these words left his mouth, the atmosphere in the room immediately turned cold. Two green leaves suddenly flew up and shot towards Yellow Scorpion Master.
Yellow Scorpion Master stared wide-eyed as he saw two green leaves flying towards him, suddenly transforming into two dark black feathered arrows, their tips glinting coldly, as if they were about to strike.
“Yiyuan Dharma Manifestation Technique.”
Yellow Scorpion Master murmured, and Flesh quickly retreated a few steps, raising both hands to channel the internal energy of Qigong, forming a curved light barrier to block the two arrows.
“Young Sovereign, He Zhaozong can endure even the death of his own son; what is there that I cannot endure? Since you have promised to investigate this matter, then I shall no longer play along.”
With a tremor, Yellow Scorpion Master unleashed a powerful surge of Qigong energy, snapping the two arrows with a crack, then exerted force in his legs and fled into the distance.
Seeing Yellow Scorpion Master retreat, He Yingqing immediately flicked his sleeve, sighed softly, and turned to leave as well.
This matter seemed to come to a close.
After a while, the onlooking disciples gradually dispersed, still seemingly unable to react to the methods of Young Sovereign.
Lu Chen secretly breathed a sigh of relief; it was clear that Young Sovereign had protected the short term; otherwise, this matter could not have been resolved so easily.
He also prepared to leave but spotted Yushan Orchid and Tu Youdong among the crowd.
They were escorting Prince Fu away. Although Prince Fu had not sent any messages back, both of them appeared unharmed. It would be good to ask them about the situation.
“Princess Zhulan,” Lu Chen called out to the departing Yushan Orchid and Tu Youdong in a secluded spot.
“It’s you, Lu Chen. You must be wanting to ask about Prince Fu, right?” Princess Zhulan inquired.
Lu Chen nodded.
"We are only escorting Prince Fu out of Qi Kingdom to the Eastern Five States; we do not know anything else," Yushan Orchid said.
"What?" Lu Chen frowned. Yushan Orchid and Tu Youdong only escorted Prince Fu out of Qi Kingdom's territory?
Lu Chen thought for a moment. Logically, once they had sent Prince Fu out of Qi Kingdom's borders, there should be no further issues, and the remaining journey would not take long. However, why had Prince Fu not replied until now? Could it be that he was intercepted by Prairie King Murzaha?
"If that's the case, it will be even more difficult!" Lu Chen thought to himself.
He still did not know what Prairie King was planning. These northern barbarians were known for their impulsive and rough nature, making communication extremely difficult. If Prince Fu truly fell into his hands, the consequences would likely not be much better than if he fell into the hands of the King of Qi.
Seeing Lu Chen lost in thought, Princess Zhulan asked, "Brother Lu Chen, is there anything else?"
"Nothing more, thank you both," Lu Chen replied with a slight bow. The attitudes of these two were quite unpleasant, especially that Tu Youdong, who resembled Di Wanren and He Zai Jin in many ways.
"Hmph, I will deal with both of you sooner or later; what can the royal family do?" Lu Chen watched as Yushan Orchid and Tu Youdong walked away, noting how graceful and beautiful Princess Zhulan looked from behind.
