Qin Changqing noticed that, after the old man appeared, the gaze of Thunder Sword Master, who was currently at the fourth-tier decline stage, grew noticeably more respectful towards the old man.
The old man had been inconspicuous before and showed no signs of taking action, indicating that he had likely been in his fifth decline stage for a while now.
“That’s right, Dongfang Fu, I must receive an explanation for this,”
said a Master at the second-tier decline celestial being rank from the Three Saints Sect.
Other masters also began to speak up.
No matter how Ancestor Dongfang and Xue’er played their roles, they wouldn’t follow along with their script.
“Masters, Xue’er was remiss in this matter. I, Dongfang Fu, am willing to take responsibility,” said Ancestor Dongfang.
“Dongfang Fu, do you take us for three-year-old children?” exclaimed a Master from the True Martial Holy Land disdainfully.
“Your scheming play is good, Dongfang Fu, but I think you should quit cultivating and take up acting,” sneered a Master with a long sword on his back from the God Sword Palace. The fourth-tier decline celestial being old man spoke up again, “Dongfang Fu, if that is your explanation and settlement, then don’t blame us for being heartless.”
The countenance of Ancestor Dongfang darkened.
Qin Changqing, however, no longer spoke.
At this point, there was no need for him to make a move.
The Demon Cultivators were unlikely to escape. If they did, then the various Holy Lands would become a laughing stock.
No matter how hard it is to kill those in the Combine Body state, on this day where many strong individuals gather and this was the Immortal Alliance’s home turf, a few individuals wouldn’t cause too much turmoil.
Ancestor Dongfang’s face darkened to the extreme.
His plans with Xue’er had failed, so his heart must be torn and struggling.
Qin Changqing was curious to see what decisions he would make.
At this point, would he continue to protect this woman?
This wasn’t just about grudges with Qin Changqing anymore.
It was about collusion with the Demon Cultivators.
The current timing was extremely sensitive.
This was Bingmeng Fairy’s Ascension Ceremony. If Ancestor Dongfang brought several powerful Demon Cultivators on his Flying Boat, wouldn’t it be a plan to cause commotion?
“Dongfang Fu, take me with you, and I will help you cross the third decline,” Xue’er said through gritted teeth beside Ancestor Dongfang.
Her strength has always been a mystery. She was certainly not ordinary, but she shouldn’t be too strong. Otherwise, she could have directly killed the Sect Leader herself to eliminate threats. There would be no need to rely on Ancestor Dongfang.
Around them, some powerful Cultivators once again broke into a discussion. Seeing Bingmeng Fairy take action, the drama became even more spectacular.
Bingmeng Fairy threw down the Demon Cultivator, glanced over Qin Changqing and Sect Leader, and then quietly disappeared.
“So it is you, Chiyan Lord. Did you infiltrate the trap alone in order to counter so many Holy Lands with your strength alone? Or is your Demon Saint Palace planning to make a big move again?”
Dongxuan Lord from Taixu Holy Land walked over with a smile.
Chiyan Lord was seriously injured, and all his True Origin was restrained. Blood stains at the corner of his mouth and on his clothes were still wet.
Snorting softly, he said, “If you want to kill, then kill. No wasted words.”
Dongxuan Lord shook his head: “It’s too simple to kill you. I heard that you like to use fierce fire to burn Cultivators to enhance your flame. I happen to like giving someone a taste of his own medicine. I just got a flame.”
A blue flame appeared on Dongxuan Lord’s hand.
Chiyan Lord’s expression changed.
“But I prefer to use gentle fire. How about slowly roasting your Divine Soul with this Nanming Separation Flame? With your strength, you should not die for ten thousand years.”
Dongxuan Lord laughed softly.
Chiyan Lord’s face changed drastically, but he bit his teeth and said nothing.
Dongxuan Lord also wasn’t in a hurry, after all, the situation wasn’t resolved on Ancestor Dongfang’s side yet.
It was clear Chiyan Lord was captured, and the situation was unambiguously clear.
No matter how hard Ancestor Dongfang tried to escape, it was almost impossible.
He probably understood that, so he didn’t try to escape in the first place.
If he didn’t try to escape, he might still have some room to maneuver.
And least, despite the many masters present, none of them has acted yet.
Even now, if Ancestor Dongfang wanted to protect himself, he still had options.
To completely blame everything on Madam Xue.
From his initial instinctive reaction, he might indeed not know anything. It was just that he reacted quickly and tried to protect Madam Xue, hence the struggle.
Sadly, his attempt at shifting the blame failed.
“Old man, don’t go down the wrong path. You were harmed by this woman to such a tragic extent!”
“Yes, old man, even without this woman, with your talents, crossing the Decline Kalpa would just be a matter of time. This woman is your stumbling block!”
At this time, those two Void Refinement cultivators who had left the East Family from the Taichu Sacred Land couldn’t help but voice out.
Although they had left the East Family and had no more contact with it, seeing Ancestor Dongfang in a desperate situation, they were ultimately somewhat intolerant.
