Chapter 165: Reclaiming the Heavenly Dao, Executing the Verdict

Within the Divine Flower Society Forum.

A post was pushed to the top.

"Major News: Shuiyun Palace Plans to Attack the Blood-Robed Alliance! Calling on Senior Blood-Robed Sword God!"

This post immediately caught the attention of many.

"What’s going on? How does Shuiyun Palace dare? Didn’t Senior Blood-Robed Sword God just annihilate Guangming Palace?"

"The background of Shuiyun Palace is slightly stronger than Guangming Palace, but the difference in strength isn't significant. Where did Shuiyun Palace get the courage?"

"Hmph, if Senior Blood-Robed Sword God makes a move, Shuiyun Palace will surely be destroyed!" Hu Li Dong Xiao Li quickly replied.

But the next moment, someone commented on her post.

"If Shuiyun Palace dares to act, they must be confident and well-prepared. I boldly speculate that Senior Blood-Robed Sword God provoked the Ye Qiong Venerable recently. Ye Qiong Venerable must be planning to deal with Senior Blood-Robed Sword God, giving Shuiyun Palace the courage!"

Hu Li Dong Xiao Li was startled by this comment, thinking it might be true, and began to worry about the Blood-Robed Sword God.

After all, he was the only great cultivator who had chatted with her.

"Could it be true? Is Senior Blood-Robed Sword God okay?"

At this point, more and more people began replying to the post.

"Sigh, it seems Ye Qiong Venerable must have made a move!"

"Senior Blood-Robed Sword God was somewhat unwise; he should have stopped after annihilating Guangming Palace. Why provoke Ye Qiong Venerable and kill his people? Offending a Yin God... this is retribution."

"I’ve long thought Senior Blood-Robed Sword God would face such a fate. He’s too arrogant, doesn’t know humility, and deserves this."

"What a pity, a great senior!"

"Hey, the outcome isn’t decided yet, so how can you all say Senior Blood-Robed Sword God is going to lose?" Hu Li Dong Xiao Li felt indignant and argued back against those who were pessimistic.

"If Ye Qiong Venerable has chosen to act, it must be foolproof. He will win with overwhelming force. Senior Blood-Robed Sword God is just a clown who suddenly gained strong cultivation."

"If you talk about Senior Blood-Robed Sword God like that, aren’t you afraid of retaliation if he sees it?"

"Senior Blood-Robed Sword God can’t even protect himself now. Why would I be afraid of retaliation? If he’s got the guts, let him come at me."

"This giant demon, Senior Blood-Robed Sword God, is finally going to die. This is divine retribution, and I’m so happy—I’m having an extra meal today!"

In the forum, some people began to speak out, criticizing the Blood-Robed Sword God.

When the Blood-Robed Sword God was at his peak, they were jealous and didn’t dare to speak out.

Now that the Blood-Robed Sword God was "suspected" of being in trouble, they jumped out, boldly pointing fingers.

Moreover, since they weren’t openly provoking the Blood-Robed Sword God like he did, they didn’t fear retaliation.

After all, no one knew their true identities.

Seeing this, Hu Li Dong Xiao Li's eyes reddened. "You’re all doomed! I’m going to record your comments and send them to Senior Blood-Robed Sword God!"

She took out a recording stone and began recording all the slanderous comments about the Blood-Robed Sword God in the forum, including the IDs.

At this moment, she was like a devoted fan of the Blood-Robed Sword God, patrolling the entire forum, recording all negative comments about him.

Unfortunately, she was alone. Otherwise, with more people, she could control the narrative just like fans of celebrities on Blue Star.

...

Majestic mountains.

Yunju Venerable, clad in white robes, had an immortal demeanor.

Suddenly, he opened his eyes, his face showing curiosity.

"What brings my old friend here?"

Before him appeared an elderly man with white hair, emanating a thick aura of death.Alll latest novels at novelhall.com

Yunju Venerable looked at the old man with complex thoughts.

This old friend had known him for a long time.

His talent was even higher than Yunju Venerable’s.

However, a thousand years ago, while capturing a wisp of heavenly vein energy for his granddaughter to help her with Heavenly Dao Foundation Building, he accidentally got tainted by a wisp of calamity.

His cultivation had been stagnant since then, and his lifespan was rapidly diminishing.

In just a thousand years, he had become a dying old man, like a candle flickering in the wind.

It wouldn’t be long before this Yin God would perish.

Yin Gods dreaded calamity more than anything.

Only a few close friends knew about this white-haired Yin God’s injury; even his granddaughter, who had achieved Heavenly Dao Foundation Building, didn’t know.

"My granddaughter insisted that I come and ask about the Blood-Robed Sword God. So, has Ye Qiong Venerable really made a move against him?" the white-haired old man asked.

Yunju Venerable sighed, "I can’t reveal anything about this matter."

He had just sworn an oath in the Heavenly Cave and could not go back on his word.

Looking at the white-haired old man, he added, "Even if you went, it wouldn’t change the outcome."

"I see... Ever since I was wounded by the calamity, I’ve become useless, unable even to fulfill a small request for my granddaughter," the old man sighed, realizing that Ye Qiong Venerable had indeed acted against the Blood-Robed Sword God and might already be in action. "Yunju, please do me a favor. I can’t help the Blood-Robed Sword God, but please take care of his Blood-Robed Alliance."

Yunju Venerable chuckled, "You truly dote on your granddaughter. This is a small matter. I’ll send someone to Shuiyun Palace to stop the conflict."

"Thank you, old friend." The white-haired old man sighed.

"Your injuries..." Yunju Venerable looked at the old man, who was shrouded in an aura of death, his mind racing.

"I’ve already met with a Grand Sovereign, but even they couldn’t help," the Ice Soul Venerable said, looking desolate. "I’m nearing the end of my life. I just hope my granddaughter can step into the Yin God realm before I go."

"The Yin God realm is incredibly difficult to achieve," Yunju Venerable lamented. "Especially with the impending calamity, making a breakthrough is nearly impossible."

The Ice Soul Venerable remained silent.

In the Canglan Realm, to become a Yin God, one must venture into the Celestial Realm to transform their spiritual energy into divine power.

In the Celestial Realm, there were endless seas of lightning. Without someone to protect her, his granddaughter’s foundation was insufficient, making it impossible for her to break through to the Yin God realm.

But with the calamity approaching, all Yin Gods were struggling to protect themselves. Who would be willing to waste their divine power to protect someone in the Celestial Realm?

The cost of doing so was even greater than battling a fellow Sovereign, and it would take at least a hundred years to recover.

"Ice Soul, you once saved my life. If you... pass on, I will look after your granddaughter," Yunju Venerable promised.

The Ice Soul Venerable smiled warmly, "Thank you, old friend."

...

Snowflakes fell.

Qi Yuan reached out his hand to catch a snowflake.

True Lord Dazhi stood nearby, watching the heavy snowfall. "I’ve heard it said that no two snowflakes in the world are identical. Snowflakes are like people... there are no two identical people in the world either."

"Then why don’t snowflakes speak human language?" Qi Yuan asked.

True Lord Dazhi looked at the snowflake, "Maybe because they don’t have mouths."

"Really?"

"Maybe," True Lord Dazhi replied uncertainly.

At this moment, the snowfall grew heavier.

Qi Yuan's aura was silently undergoing a transformation.

Just now, when the Blood-Robed Sword God waved his hand, she couldn’t resist at all and felt as powerless as an ordinary cultivator.

She was shaken.

She was a Yin God, a deity with divine power.

But with a mere wave of his hand, the Blood-Robed Sword God made her feel like a child, as if she had no cultivation at all.

What kind of technique was this? A terrifying thought crossed her mind, but she didn’t dare to confirm it.

...

In a valley.

The Molo Clan was gathering.

Several terrifying figures were gathered together.

Perhaps there were too many Yin Gods.

The rules of the world in the entire valley seemed unstable.

A childish voice spoke, "Mojun Venerable, in this cooperation, neither I nor Affectionate Venerable can deal with that two-step Treading the Heavens powerhouse. We can only help you capture the Blood-Robed Sword God and prevent the formation from activating."

Affectionate Venerable stood beside Ye Qiong Venerable, her eyes filled with seductive charm as she looked at the purple, towering figure ahead.

That terrifying figure was Mojun Venerable, who had reached the pinnacle of two-step Treading the Heavens, just one step away from becoming a three-step Treading the Heavens powerhouse.

Such a powerhouse was considered top-tier even in the Canglan Realm.

"Anyone who dares to kill my brother is dead meat. That two-step Treading the Heavens powerhouse will die without a doubt; you don’t need to lift a finger!" Mojun Venerable’s voice was deep and filled with strong confidence. "Today, even if the Moon God Sovereign descends, they won’t be saved!"

Of course, the latter part was just boasting.

Mojun Venerable served the Black Demon Abyss.

With his strength, he was just a nobody in the Black Demon Abyss and hadn’t even met the Black Demon Sovereign.

"I’ve heard that Blood-Robed Sword God provoked Ye Qiong Venerable in the Canglan Realm?" A Yin God from the Molo Clan spoke, his eyes filled with mockery. "How does it feel to be humiliated by a Zifu cultivator?"

Ye Qiong Venerable’s expression remained unchanged, his childish voice calm, "A cultivator who relies on women is not worth mentioning."

"I wouldn’t mind having a Grand Sovereign take a fancy to me," Mojun Venerable said with a smile.

However, at that moment, a desolate and sorrowful sound of music suddenly rang out.

All six Yin Gods present changed their expressions.

"This is..." Ye Qiong Venerable’s face shifted.

He had heard about the Blood-Robed Sword God.

When the suona sounds, it’s time for the Blood-Robed Sword God to start killing.

But how could there be suona music here? A sense of foreboding gripped him.

All the Yin Gods present looked tense.

Endless divine power surged, threatening to tear the entire mountain range apart as they searched for the source of the sound.

"Who is it? Show yourself!" Mojun Venerable roared.

They couldn’t locate the source of the sound.

"Didn’t your mothers teach you not to talk bad about others behind their backs?"

A voice suddenly echoed through the valley.

"Oh, I forgot, you don’t have mothers. They’ve been dead for a long time."

After saying this, Qi Yuan regretted it, feeling like slapping himself.

As his voice echoed, a group of over fifty people suddenly appeared before the six Venerables.

Leading them was Qi Yuan, dressed in a blood-red robe.

His gaze fell on Ye Qiong Venerable and Affectionate Venerable, showing surprise, "Oh, there are humans here too?"

Ye Qiong Venerable frowned, "Blood-Robed Sword God, you’re a Yin God too?"

For the Blood-Robed Sword God to appear out of nowhere, accompanied by a music troupe, was indeed strange.

There was no doubt he was a Yin God.

For some reason, a sense of doom crept into Ye Qiong Venerable’s heart.

Mojun Venerable was also filled with doubts.

Facing six Yin Gods, the enemy didn’t flee but instead attacked them head-on.

Were they seeking death? There were only two explanations.

The first was that the enemy was insane.

The second was that the enemy had a trump card.

Mojun Venerable scanned the surroundings, always wary of the appearance of that two-step Treading the Heavens powerhouse.

He looked at Qi Yuan with great apprehension but still said, "Since you’re all here, we can eliminate you in one fell swoop! Ye Qiong Venerable, Affectionate Venerable, as agreed, the Blood-Robed Sword God is yours to handle."

Ye Qiong Venerable and Affectionate Venerable’s brows furrowed.

That was the previous agreement, assuming the Blood-Robed Sword God was a Purple Mansion cultivator. But now... it seemed that the person before them was no mere Purple mansion.

They wanted to argue.

But Qi Yuan spoke directly, "No wonder you’re so incompetent. You’re so hesitant even when killing someone. Today, I’ll teach you how to kill properly! And don’t worry, don’t fall in love with me because of it."

At this moment, Qi Yuan extended his finger.

He pointed at the six Yin Gods before him and said softly, "God says, you are guilty of gossiping behind people’s backs."

As Qi Yuan spoke, the world around them instantly changed.

The rules of the vast earth directly assaulted the six Yin Gods.

Their expressions changed drastically as they felt that the Heavenly Dao of this world seemed to have awakened, suppressing them with the force of an entire realm. Their divine apertures were blocked, and their divine power couldn’t circulate.

Mojun Venerable’s eyes filled with horror, "This is a Divine Domain! You’re a Grand Sovereign!"

Such a phenomenon could only be caused by a Grand Sovereign.

Only a Grand Sovereign could condense a Divine Domain and easily suppress ordinary Sovereigns.

Even Ye Qiong Venerable’s face showed fear.

How could this be possible? How could this be a Grand Sovereign? How could the Blood-Robed Sword God be a Grand Sovereign! The white-robed woman playing the suona also widened her eyes in shock. The scene before them was completely unexpected.

Qi Yuan ignored the six of them and calmly continued, "God says, gossiping behind people’s backs is a grave sin, punishable by death. He has already sent someone to your residence to execute you by gunshot, effective immediately."

Qi Yuan snapped his fingers, but for some reason, it didn’t make a sound.

Feeling a bit embarrassed, he provided his own sound effects.

“Bang!”

“Bang!”

As if six gunshots rang out, the six Yin Gods had no ability to resist and were shot dead by Qi Yuan.

The incredibly powerful Yin Gods died... pitifully... too easily, without making any waves.

The suona music continued.

Qi Yuan looked at the people behind him and solemnly said, "Never gossip about others behind their backs, or you’ll be executed by gunshot. I once received such a message, and it scared me to death."

Everyone present was utterly stunned.
