The elder at the forefront, known as the Guardian, chuckled, "Master Ji, at such a young age, you possess such cultivation. I find myself intrigued. Why not follow me and pledge your loyalty to the Central Sovereign? With your talent, the Central Sovereign might very well guide you. Your future could be limitless."
"After hitting someone, you try to sweet-talk them? Do you think everyone is as foolish as you are, willing to be called a traitor for a little benefit?" Zhao Yang's voice rang out again, dripping with sarcasm.
The Guardian raised an eyebrow, visibly displeased, and glared at Zhao Yang. "It’s clear that this remote sect has not been properly educated. You show no respect for authority, daring to interrupt a conversation meant for adults."
"Guardian, this is Zhao Yang; he might know where the Spirit Pearl is hidden!" Duan Wude stepped forward to explain.
"Oh, so it's this brat," the Guardian said in realization.
"This kid is quite peculiar; his cultivation method is extraordinarily unique. Even if he were more powerful, it would be hard to capture him. Please be cautious," Duan Wude advised.
However, the Guardian felt underestimated and snorted dismissively, ordering Duan Wude to step back. He then turned to Zhao Yang and said, "Boy, you see the situation clearly now. The Myriad Spirit Sect is surrounded by us. All nine of us are Divine Transformation Stage cultivators, while you only have two Divine Transformation Stage cultivators on your side. Tragically, one is severely injured and the other is blind. If you hand over the Spirit Pearl to me, I can ensure that you leave in peace and spare anyone from your sect."
"Do you take me for an idiot? There are corpses everywhere outside; you've killed so many without question and now claim you won't harm anyone from my sect?" Zhao Yang mocked.
The Guardian was unfazed and replied firmly, "That was merely a show of force. A group of uncultured disciples from foreign lands—if I don't kill a chicken to scare the monkeys, they might think themselves invincible."
"What a fine way to scare the monkeys! What a bunch of inferior disciples! If it weren't for your age nearing the grave allowing you to stand here flaunting your power, do you really think someone as old as you deserves to speak with me?" Zhao Yang retorted fearlessly.
The Guardian laughed heartily and pointed at Zhao Yang. "You’re quite something! If you can walk out of here alive today, I’ll take your surname!" At that moment, even the Guardian felt his killing intent surge due to Zhao Yang's provocation.
Zhao Yang laughed back and replied, "Talk is cheap! If you're capable, come at me now! What’s so great about being a Divine Transformation Stage cultivator?"
"Boy, Wudao is injured and I’m blind; do you want to die?" The elder transmitted a message secretly.
"What? You can't handle them? Why didn’t you say so earlier?" Zhao Yang panicked upon hearing this; he had thought that the elder and the sect leader could easily take on nine opponents together.
"Fine! Then I'll give it a try!" The Guardian stepped forward with a thunderous sound as the ground cracked beneath him.
"Wait! Hold on! Let's talk this out. As they say, gentlemen use words rather than fists; we are all civilized people here. Let’s not solve our problems like barbarians—calm down!" Zhao Yang urged soothingly.
Silence enveloped the crowd.
"You have one last chance to tell us where the Spirit Pearl is. Otherwise, the Myriad Spirit Sect will be expelled from the cultivation world today!" The Guardian's impatience was palpable as he ordered everyone to prepare for action. If Zhao Yang did not reveal the whereabouts of the Spirit Pearl, he would be responsible for the destruction of the Myriad Spirit Sect. Although Zhao Yang did not feel a strong sense of collective honor and believed that the fate of the Myriad Spirit Sect was none of his concern, seeing Ji Wudao and the Three Elders defend him so fiercely made it impossible for him to turn his back on them.
"The Spirit Pearl is with me; let them go," came a calm voice that shocked everyone present. Zhao Yang pulled out the Spirit Pearl from his bosom in front of all.
Everyone's foreheads broke into a sweat at the sight of what Zhao Yang held. The Guardian's face darkened with anger. "Do you find it amusing to toy with others like this?!"
Zhao Yang was puzzled by their reactions and looked at what he held in his hand, only to shout in disbelief.
"What the hell? How could this be a Spirit Qi Pill?" He was clearly holding a Spirit Qi Pill, but it was hanging from a string around his neck.
"This is how the Spirit Pearl transformed itself; it has a spirit," Zhao Yang blurted out, immediately regretting it, as even he did not believe such nonsense, let alone anyone else.
With a command from the Guardian—kill! Instantly, countless cultivators surged into the square, and disciples of the Myriad Spirit Sect charged forward to meet them. Zhao Yang sighed; it seemed an all-out battle was inevitable. On their side were Ji Wudao at Divine Transformation Stage and the Grand Elder, along with the Three Elders and Sixth Elder from Inner Courtyard at Core Formation Stage. In contrast, just facing the Nine Great Protectors—nine experts at Divine Transformation Stage—was beyond their capability to withstand. No matter how powerful Ji Wudao was, he could not possibly fight against so many.
Suddenly, a haunting melody filled the air from afar, accompanied by countless screams. Yu Qingsnow flew in mid-air, wielding King Yu's Zither, leaving a trail of blood in her wake. No one below Foundation Establishment Stage could stop her.
In everyone's eyes, Yu Qingsnow resembled a female demon; wherever she passed, no one could stand in her way, exuding an aura of chilling coldness.
"That's a Dao Artifact!" The Nine Great Protectors were alarmed; they had not expected such talent to emerge from a small sect, let alone possess a Dao Artifact—one of the pinnacle treasures in the cultivation world. Artifacts had never been specifically categorized due to their varying functions, making comparisons difficult. However, at the very top were Dao Artifacts, known for their unparalleled power and might.
A fiery light flickered in the Guardian's eyes as greed overtook him.
"The Dao Artifact in that little girl's hands must be King Yu's famed treasure, King Yu's Zither."
Yu Qingsnow wore an icy expression and paid no mind as she slowly approached, followed by a young man.
"Qingxue, are you alright?" Sixth Elder stepped forward with concern.
"I'm fine, Master," Yu Qingsnow replied as King Yu's Zither floated quietly around her, radiating an aura of ethereal spirit.
The young man was Scholar Xiu, who had been on the beach beating up an Inner Court Offering. Suddenly, he felt a sense of danger; the Azure Jade at his waist began to alert him. He thought someone was about to attack him, but after waiting for a while without any movement, he suddenly felt the temperature of the air drop sharply. A faint sound of a guqin came from a distant snow peak, and out of curiosity, he followed the sound.
The mountain where Yu Qingsnow resided was the outermost peak of the Myriad Spirit Sect. When the Central State Royal Family's army invaded, her snow peak was the first to be attacked.
Seeing Yu Qingsnow under attack by unknown assailants, Scholar Xiu momentarily recalled the phrase "hero saving beauty." However, all those who came were Foundation Establishment Stage cultivators. He could handle two or three at a time, but with more than that, he was no match for them. Just when he was exhausted and about to be killed, Yu Qingsnow saved herself. With her unparalleled guqin music, she struck down hundreds of Foundation Establishment Stage experts as she fought her way through, leaving no one unshaken.
Scholar Xiu did not expect such a vast difference among cultivators at the Foundation Establishment Stage. He had felt this disparity when he was with Zhao Yang earlier, and now seeing Yu Qingsnow made him feel even more powerless in comparison, filling his heart with sorrow.
At that moment, the Eight Great Protectors behind the Guardian all opened their eyes in shock and looked at the young man behind Yu Qingsnow, pointing at him in unison: "It's him!"
With their breaths locked onto him and Divine Sense scanning him, an overwhelming pressure descended upon Scholar Xiu. In an instant, he found himself unable to move even an inch; the eight Divine Transformation Stage experts were exerting Realm Pressure on him.
"Huh? What do you want from me?!" Scholar Xiu shouted in fear. Having spent so much time with Zhao Yang, he had gradually learned to be fearless. After beating up a group of peers today, he even dared to talk back to Core Formation Stage elders. But facing a group of Divine Transformation Stage old-timers made him feel utterly intimidated.
"So the Spirit Pearl is with you; it’s been hard for me to find!" The Guardian glared at Scholar Xiu with an unfriendly expression.
"Am I caught in crossfire?!" Zhao Yang exclaimed in a cold sweat. He couldn't withstand such pressure; if Scholar Xiu ended up taking the blame for this mess, he would probably die without even knowing how it happened.
