I am a full-level celestial master, you let me enter the strange talk of rules?

Zhang Yangqing casually waved the Cleansing Sword he had just retrieved, and the faint, clear light flowing from the sword's blade rippled outwards like water.

Wherever it passed, the thick, black, terrifying malevolent energy that surged from all directions quickly dissolved and dissipated, carving out a clear area in the pitch-black sea of ​​malevolent energy.

As the malevolent aura dissipated, behind him followed a young man who was panting heavily, pale-faced, and with a look of lingering fear in his eyes, as if he had just returned from the deepest hell. This was Chen Wen.

Chen Wen's legs were still trembling slightly, his heart was pounding, and the fear on his face had not completely faded.

He had just witnessed Zhang Yangqing "retrieving the sword," and his mind was still in a state of shock, feeling as if his worldview had been completely reshaped. No one knew what he had seen.

Zhang Yangqing glanced at the devastated and raging Fox Family Manor, as well as the standoff between Xiao Xuan and the strange young man, his face expressionless.

He looked at Xiao Xuan and asked in a calm tone, "Why haven't you finished dealing with it yet?"

There was a hint of drowsiness in his voice.

It's as if it's saying: Why are you taking so long to do something so trivial?
He completely ignored the strangely injured young man beside him, the trembling head of the Fox Clan, and the various demonic and eerie beings lurking in the surrounding darkness.

Even though the surrounding area was filled with demonic energy and eeriness, in Zhang Yangqing's eyes, these guys were not worthy of his attention and posed no real threat to him.

He is the world's top celestial master, a being standing at the very top of the pyramid of human superhumans.

These evil and strange creatures, who roamed deep in the mountains and forests and were at most local bullies, were no different from ants in his eyes.
Upon hearing Zhang Yangqing's question, Xiao Xuan scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly and chuckled:
"Senior brother, I was just going through the motions to gather more information and find out the whole story. But what I found was shocking! This guy is secretly raising hundreds of thousands of bizarre creatures here! We have to deal with this quickly, or this area will be devastated and a major disaster will occur!"

Xiao Xuan's tone also became serious. Before, he only wanted to investigate, but now that he had discovered such a huge potential threat, the nature of the matter was completely different.

Hearing Xiao Xuan's words and seeing Zhang Yangqing's completely dismissive attitude, the strange young man standing to the side was both shocked and angry, but even more so, puzzled and bewildered.

Where are my hundreds of thousands of troops?! I can sense their gathering malevolent aura!

Why is it just one person instead of my army?!
Or are they reinforcements for the enemy?! What the hell is going on?!
After listening to Xiao Xuan's explanation, Zhang Yangqing nodded slightly, indicating his approval of Xiao Xuan's approach.

From gathering intelligence and identifying the crisis to preparing for its resolution, Xiao Xuan's approach was highly professional and flawless.

At this moment, Xiao Xuan's gaze fell on the Cleansing Sword in Zhang Yangqing's hand. He let out a soft "Eh," and a look of doubt appeared on his face:
"Senior brother, is this Master's Cleansing Sword? But why does it feel a bit off? Besides the righteous energy left by Master, why is there also a sinister and filthy aura swirling around the sword?"

Upon hearing this, Zhang Yangqing's eyes turned slightly cold, and his tone carried an undisguised displeasure as he said:
"I wonder which idiot used this sword left by my master to try to corrupt the remaining monster corpses in the Demon Cave, or even to refine some evil stuff, or to open up some passage that shouldn't be opened."

He spoke calmly, but those who knew him well could hear the suppressed anger beneath that calm.

My master's heirloom, the sacred sword that slays demons, has been so desecrated and misused!

Upon hearing this, Xiao Xuan was immediately furious! He was naturally lively and outgoing, but his respect for his master, the Celestial Master, was ingrained in his very bones!
Upon hearing that someone was so disrespectful to his master's belongings, his anger flared up instantly!

"Damn it!!" Xiao Xuan couldn't help but curse, turning his head sharply to glare at the strangely injured young man on the ground with eyes blazing with fury. "You weren't the one who did this, you damned beast, were you?!"

His anger almost materialized into flames, and the lightning that had just subsided around him began to crackle again. His killing intent, like a cold tide, instantly locked onto the strange young man.

The strange young man was terrified by Xiao Xuan's sudden and violent killing intent. His heavily injured body instinctively wanted to retreat and run away, but he was locked in place by Xiao Xuan's aura and could not move. He could only watch in horror as Xiao Xuan approached step by step.

Zhang Yangqing seemed to have lost interest in the follow-up, and casually handed the Cleansing Sword to Xiao Xuan: "I'm going back. You can handle it yourself. Take this sword back with you and let Senior Brother see how to remove the filth from it."

After saying that, he turned to leave, as if the ensuing bloodshed, the threat of hundreds of thousands of strange troops, and the troubles of the Fox Clan and the Five Immortal Clans were nothing more than trivial matters.

Xiao Xuan quickly stopped him, a troubled look on his face: "Senior brother! Wait! What about those hundreds of thousands of strange troops? And this fox woman, her constitution is special, how do we deal with her? What about the fox family and the other 'Five Great Immortal Families'?"

Xiao Xuan was young after all, and came from a traditional Taoist sect. He valued right and wrong, and believed in punishing evil and promoting good.

Faced with this complex situation that might involve "being forced" or "helpless," he subconsciously wanted to ask questions to clarify the cause and effect before deciding how to handle it, not wanting to indiscriminately kill innocent people or wrongly accuse "victims."

Zhang Yangqing didn't stop or turn his head. He only left behind a cold, simple, yet ruthless statement that echoed in the chaotic night sky: "Why waste words with them? Just kill them."

These words were like a thunderclap, exploding in Xiao Xuan's heart and also resounding in the depths of the souls of all the evil and strange beings who could hear them!

The subtext couldn't be clearer:

The truth is in your hands, so what's the point of reasoning with them? What's the point of explaining your grievances?
The five immortals might later claim they are innocent, forced into it, have their own difficulties, and have no other choice.

As a human being, you might consider, hesitate, want to distinguish right from wrong, and not want to wrongly accuse the 'victim'.

But let me tell you, as beings of this world, since you have made your choice and sided with the supernatural, you must take responsibility for your choice!

I don't care what your five great immortal families' grievances may be! Since you dare to stand against us and be our enemies, then death is your only punishment! Right or wrong is unimportant; stance determines life or death!
As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang Yangqing's figure vanished completely from the spot like a ghost, as if he had never been there at all.

But his cold and cruel words were like the most biting wind, sweeping through the hearts of every monster and eeriness, making them feel as if they had fallen into an ice cave, experiencing a chill and fear that came from their very souls.

How cold-blooded! How terrifying! How unreasonable!

Yet it is so powerful that it inspires despair! (End of Chapter)
