Chapter 624 The so-called righteous path is like fish on a chopping block; take the initiative (5,300 words)

A single shout trembled the very soul.

The person who questioned him was a Nascent Soul Realm Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect, a tall old man dressed in a sea-blue robe.

Everyone's eyes were on Lu Qing, waiting to see how he would respond.

Especially those powerful cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, they already knew from their disciples what Lu Qing had done in the secret realm.

In addition, he had just dared to shake off their primordial spirit power.

In an instant, all the powerful beings at the Primordial Spirit level became very interested in him.

"As expected, I've become the target of everyone's criticism."

"Is this what you meant when you said that to become a qualified shaman, one must go through trials and tribulations? But these trials and tribulations are a bit too violent."

Feeling the pressure gathering on his body, Lu Qing remained expressionless, but sighed inwardly.

Whether intentionally or unintentionally, the one in the secret realm teleported him right under the noses of so many Nascent Soul Realm cultivators.

His original plan to first change his appearance and disguise himself before sneaking away among the rogue cultivators was completely ruined.

Based on his performance in the secret realm, Lu Qing didn't even need to think about what he would face next.

Good thing...

Lu Qing probed his divine soul power into the Qiankun Qi Bag, sensed the stone tablet he had just obtained, and felt much more relaxed after discovering that it could be activated.

With this trump card in hand, the current situation becomes much easier to handle.

If things really can't be done, we can always go back to the secret realm.

Although it would be a bit embarrassing to go back so soon after coming out, compared to life, a little bit of face is completely insignificant.

"Xiao Li, you should first hide in the Qiankun Yiqi Bag."

Lu Qing did not respond to the Nascent Soul Realm cultivator's words, but instead sent a telepathic message to Xiao Li, before storing it in the Qiankun Qi Bag.

Upon seeing this scene, many Golden Core Realm experts who had entered the secret realm were moved.

They had all been focused on Lu Qing, but now that they saw Xiao Li disappear, they remembered the amazing performance of this little spirit beast on Bone Mountain.

Immediately, many people began to send telepathic messages to their seniors.

When he heard his disciples say that the little spirit beast was likely a different species with ancient bloodline, he was surprised.

Some of the Nascent Soul Realm cultivators' eyes lit up once again.

The same was true of the Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect who had questioned him.

Furthermore, seeing that Lu Qing ignored his question and didn't even respond, his gaze suddenly turned cold.

"Youngster, how dare you be so arrogant! It seems you'll really think my Lan Hai Sect has no one left if I don't teach you a lesson!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large magical hand materialized and reached out to grab Lu Qing.

When a powerful being of the Primordial Spirit realm makes a move, it is naturally extraordinary.

The moment this powerful magic hand was unleashed, it instantly suppressed the surrounding space. The aura it emitted caused all the experts below the Nascent Soul Realm to change color involuntarily.

People like Qin Zheng and Ye Qingzhu were extremely nervous and worried about Lu Qing.

"In the end, we still have to face off against those at the Nascent Soul Realm."

Feeling the pressure from the magical hand, Lu Qing showed no panic; instead, a fighting spirit rose in his heart.

"Wait a minute!"

Just as Lu Qing was about to unleash his power and weigh the true strength of the Nascent Soul Realm,

Suddenly, another giant palm of magical power appeared from the side, blocking the attack of the Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect.

boom!
The clash of the two massive magical palms caused the surrounding spiritual energy to surge violently, unleashing terrifying power that shook the surrounding space.

The violent fluctuations of spiritual energy made Lu Qing's clothes rustle, but they couldn't move him even an inch.

"Ok?"

Lu Qing's expression shifted as he looked at the person who had intervened.

"Ba Chunqiu, what do you mean by this?"

The Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect was initially startled, but after clearly seeing who had intervened, his gaze sharpened, and he spoke with some apprehension.

It turned out that the one who stopped the attack of the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect was actually Ba Chunqiu, a powerful elder of the Overlord Clan.

The other Nascent Soul Realm experts were slightly taken aback when they saw this scene, and then they all showed interesting expressions.

People like Qin Zheng and Ye Qingzhu were in high spirits.

They never expected that a powerful primordial spirit from the Overlord Clan would actually lend a helping hand to Lu Qing.

Even Lu Qing himself was greatly surprised.

He looked at the location of the Overlord Clan and saw that Overlord Tian was smiling. When he looked at him, he even nodded in acknowledgment.

Clearly, it was he who had asked his clan elders for help.

"It doesn't mean anything, I just can't stand you taking advantage of your cultivation level to attack a junior in the Golden Core stage."

Ba Chunqiu, a middle-aged man from the Overlord Clan who was also tall, said calmly.

"You should have heard it just now. This junior dared to rob my Lan Hai Sect disciple in the secret realm, and even severely injured my disciple, almost killing him. If I don't punish such a demonic act, what will become of the Lan Hai Sect's reputation?"

The Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect suppressed his anger and said.

"Is that so? Then why is it that I heard a different version of the story?"

Your Lan Hai Sect, along with disciples from the Xuan Yuan Sect and two other sects, numbering in the dozens, blocked one of their opponents, attempting to force them to reveal their destiny.

However, the young man retaliated by suppressing him, and he only survived by kneeling and begging for mercy.

Speaking of reputation, your Lan Hai Sect's reputation should have been completely disgraced by your own disciples long ago.

"Now you actually have the nerve to bully the strong? Haven't you Lan Hai Sect lost enough face already?"

Ba Chunqiu's tone remained calm, but his words caused the Lan Hai Sect disciples' expressions to change drastically.

Begging Lu Qing for mercy was the greatest humiliation of their lives.

Originally, I was thinking of having the Supreme Elder capture and suppress this person before the matter spread completely, so as to save face.

Unexpectedly, this scandal has now been exposed publicly.

The Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect also looked grim.

"It seems your Overlord Clan is determined to protect this kid?"

“Indeed, this young man had a very pleasant conversation with Ba Tian of my clan in the secret realm, and they got along very well. Since he is a friend of our Ba Wang clan, I will naturally protect him,” Ba Chunqiu said matter-of-factly.

After saying that, a powerful aura emanated from his body.

It caused the surrounding spiritual energy to stagnate.

Ba Chunqiu's attitude can only be described as domineering.

However, his words caused many Golden Core cultivators to look strange.

Many people overheard Lu Qing and Ba Tian's conversation in the ancient tower space that day.

They couldn't understand why the two of them were getting along so well and seemed to hit it off so well.

Immediately, some quick-witted people understood.

This talk of the Hegemon of Spring and Autumn is grand and dignified, but he probably has other plans in mind.

"That sounds nice," the Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect sneered. "Your Overlord Clan is only after this kid's secret and his exotic spirit beast."

"If this kid really goes with you, he'll probably be completely devoured, leaving not even a trace!"

"Are you slandering our Overlord Clan?"

Ba Chunqiu's gaze turned cold as he stared directly at the Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect.

"Whether it's slander or not, you know it yourself. This kid has a big secret, and he may have even obtained an opportunity from a secret realm. Add to that his exotic spirit beast, and do you dare say that your Overlord Clan wasn't tempted by it?"

The Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect continued to sneer without showing any fear.

Although the Overlord Clan is powerful, it is far superior to their Lan Hai Sect.

However, their Lan Hai Sect is far from the territory of the Overlord Clan, separated by several powerful sects, some of which have strength and resources that are in no way inferior to the Overlord Clan.

No matter how strong the Overlord Clan is, they can't extend their reach that far and do anything to the Lan Hai Sect.

Therefore, although the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect was wary of Ba Chunqiu, he was not yet afraid of him.

Upon hearing this, all the powerful beings at the Primordial Spirit level showed slight changes in their expressions.

After being informed by their disciples, they all knew about the situation in the secret realm and what the young man had done there.

It's not just his spirit beast; it's very likely a different species with ancient bloodlines.

More importantly, the other party may have also obtained the greatest opportunity in the secret realm.

Based on the disciple's description of the secret realm, the opportunity was likely left behind by something even they couldn't have imagined.

Therefore, the intentions behind Ba Chunqiu's sudden emergence are self-evident.

For a moment, the gazes of all the powerful beings at the Nascent Soul stage towards Ba Chunqiu became somewhat strange.

Ba Chunqiu could easily sense the meaning behind those gazes, and he immediately laughed in fury.

"Very well, it seems that our Overlord Clan has been inactive for so long that people have lost their awe, and now even the most insignificant cats and dogs can provoke us."

Batian, go and bring this young friend over. I want to see who dares to touch the person my clan wants to protect!

And you, Old Man Qiu, a decrepit old codger whose potential has been exhausted, dare to mock my clan in front of me? Then I'll use you as a sacrificial offering to my blade!

After saying that, Ba Chunqiu unleashed a towering blade of energy, slashing towards the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect.

The Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect never expected that Ba Chunqiu would make a move so suddenly.

Fortunately, he was prepared and immediately summoned a magical artifact to protect himself.

It was a light blue shield that, once unleashed, instantly transformed into layers of flowing water curtains, completely protecting him and the disciples behind him. Although Ba Chunqiu's sword energy was incredibly domineering, when it struck the shield, it was constantly torn apart and neutralized by the ever-changing water currents within the layers of water curtains.

Although it eventually broke through more than ten water curtains, it was still powerless to continue and was completely obliterated.

"What, are you getting angry and trying to kill me to cover your mouth now that I've seen through your thoughts? But with so many fellow Daoists here, can you, Ba Chunqiu, alone silence all the gossip?"

After using the power of his magic weapon to neutralize Ba Chunqiu's sword energy, the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect felt much more at ease, but he still began to mock him.

As for the Lan Hai Sect disciples behind him, they were filled with excitement.

Unexpectedly, the Supreme Elder was so tough, daring to confront even the powerful figures of the Overlord Clan head-on.

"The Surging Wave Shield? You actually brought one of the most treasured spiritual artifacts of your Lan Hai Sect. No wonder you dare to speak so arrogantly. In that case, I will take your tortoise shield, destroy your physical body, and then take people to Haizhou to annihilate your Lan Hai Sect!"

A terrifying aura rose from Ba Chunqiu's body, and a domineering treasured sword suddenly appeared in his hand.

Upon seeing this, the Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect became extremely solemn.

But now that things had come to this point, he could not back down. He could only exert all his strength to activate the magic weapon, making the water curtain around him rotate even faster.

The clash of the auras of the two powerful beings at the Primordial Spirit level immediately caused the surrounding spiritual energy to stir, and even the laws of heaven and earth to fluctuate.

"Please wait, gentlemen."

Just as a battle between the two souls was about to erupt, a figure suddenly appeared between them, smiling broadly.

When they saw who it was, both Ba Chunqiu and the Supreme Elder of Lanhai Sect were visibly shaken, and their auras slowly subsided.

"Xuanjian, what do you mean by this?" Ba Chunqiu stared at the man. "Could it be that your Heavenly Sword Sect also wants to get involved and oppose me? Fine, then come at me all at once!"

It turned out that the person blocking their way was Elder Xuanjian of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

The other Nascent Soul Realm cultivators, witnessing this scene, wore expressions of anticipation and amusement.

The relationships between top powers are often complex and intertwined.

Just like the relationship between the Overlord Clan and the Heavenly Sword Sect, Ba Tian and Shen Zangfeng have a good relationship, but Ba Chunqiu and Elder Xuanjian have a long-standing grudge.

It is said that the two were once good friends when they were young, but they eventually parted ways on bad terms because they were vying for the heart of a holy maiden from a major sect.

Although they didn't become mortal enemies in the end, they never spoke to each other again.

Now that Elder Xuanjian has stepped forward, it's no wonder that Ba Chunqiu looks hostile.

"No, I just don't want the two of you to start a big fight here. You are both pillars of our human race."

If we were to fight to the death over such a trivial matter, regardless of which side falls, it would be a loss for our human race, and ultimately only benefit the demon race.

Elder Xuanjian said solemnly.

"Is that so? I don't recall you, Xuanjian, being such a person with such a grand vision. Someone as despicable as you must be plotting something, right?"

However, Ba Chunqiu did not believe his nonsense at all and directly made sarcastic remarks.

"Actually, the argument between the two of you is nothing more than the opportunity that this young man has encountered. Since that's the case, why don't you sit down and have a proper talk?"

Despite Ba Chunqiu's sarcasm, Elder Xuanjian was not angry, but instead continued to persuade him with a smile.

"What's there to talk about? I've decided to protect this man. Anyone who dares to touch him is going against my Overlord Clan!" Ba Chunqiu still didn't make any concessions.

"Spring and Autumn Annals, there's no point in you saying that."

Elder Xuanjian's smile faded somewhat as he saw that Ba Chunqiu was relentless.

“No one here is a fool. Everyone knows what you’re up to. Your Overlord Clan wants to monopolize the opportunity. Do you think the rest of you will agree to that? Let’s sit down and have a proper talk to avoid hurting our feelings.”

“Indeed, this person not only robbed disciples of the Lan Hai Sect in the secret realm, but also our Xuan Yuan Sect disciples suffered the same fate. There must be an explanation.”

At this moment, another Nascent Soul Realm cultivator spoke up.

He was none other than a Nascent Soul Realm elder of the Xuanyuan Sect.

"And our disciples were also abducted by him. We must give an explanation!"

Several more Nascent Soul Realm cultivators stepped forward.

"Senior Ba Chunqiu, I also believe that this matter should be discussed carefully."

A young man stepped forward; he was Gongshu Zheng, the newly ascended primordial spirit of the Gongshu family.

As one Nascent Soul Realm cultivator after another spoke, Ba Chunqiu's expression turned grim.

Although he was confident, he wasn't so arrogant as to think he could contend with so many people at the Nascent Soul Realm.

But if we back down now, wouldn't everything we just said be nothing but empty words?
For a moment, Ba Chunqiu could only remain gloomy and say nothing.

"You all saw it, right? That young man acted too ostentatiously in the secret realm, incurring the wrath of many, and is now the target of everyone's anger."

Even the Overlord Clan couldn't withstand the pressure of someone at the Nascent Soul Realm. If we were to intervene, it would only make things worse and bring immense disaster to the sect.

Qian Lingxiao's voice echoed in the minds of all the Qiankun Sect disciples.

Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, and the others fell silent upon hearing this.

They knew that what their senior brother said was true, but they still felt aggrieved.

I can only hate myself for being so insignificant, watching my benefactor suffer while I can't do anything to help.

"Brother Lingxiao, what do you think?"

Just then, Gongshu Zheng shouted.

It turned out that all those present at the Nascent Soul Realm had already expressed their opinions, leaving only a handful of people who remained silent.

Qian Lingxiao was one of them.

Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, and other disciples of the Qiankun Sect all looked towards their senior brother.

"I am but a humble person, and naturally I agree with the advice of you seniors. Since this young man has done something wrong, he should be punished."

Qian Lingxiao seemed oblivious to the gazes of his fellow disciples and smiled slightly.

“Chunqiu, you’ve heard it too. Everyone’s opinion has been reached. Do you still want to go your own way?” Elder Xuanjian said.

"Hmph!" Ba Chunqiu snorted coldly, "Since you've all conspired together, what else do I have to say!"

"So it seems you're willing to compromise?"

Ba Chunqiu remained silent.

But judging from his expression, everyone knew that he had tacitly agreed.

At this moment, Elder Xuanjian's gaze finally fell on Lu Qing.

He then smiled and said, "Young man, you must have heard what I just said."

"I heard you." Lu Qing nodded slightly.

This was the first time he had spoken since he was released.

Seeing his composed demeanor, the group of Nascent Soul Realm experts all showed a hint of surprise in their eyes.

If they had previously harbored some doubts about what their disciples had said...

Now I understand a little better.

Putting everything else aside, just the fact that he remained so calm in the face of so many people at the Nascent Soul Realm is remarkable.

This composure in the face of adversity already surpasses that of their disciples by a great deal.

"In that case, do you have anything to say?" Elder Xuanjian asked.

"What do you think I should do, senior?" Lu Qing asked in return.

"Young man, hand over all the opportunities you obtained in the secret realm, and also offer up your spirit beast. If we are satisfied, we might spare your life."

Before Elder Xuanjian could speak, the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect had already spoken coldly.

"Is this also the intention of the seniors?" Lu Qing asked, looking around.

This time, no one spoke.

However, the silence of the group of Nascent Soul Realm cultivators had already revealed everything.

Those Golden Core Realm experts who emerged from the secret realm had varying expressions.

Some were indifferent, some were excited, some were expectant, but most showed expressions of schadenfreude.

In their eyes, Lu Qing was now like a fish on a chopping board, at their mercy.

Only Qin Zheng and Ye Qingzhu, disciples of the Qiankun Sect, and a very few others, including the Five Treasures Taoist, showed signs of worry.

Lu Qing took in all of this.

The next moment, he chuckled.

"Junior, what are you laughing at?"

The Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect frowned and demanded an explanation.

"What am I laughing at?" Lu Qing stood tall and proud, a hint of mockery on his face. "I'm laughing at you hypocritical old fogies. If you want to steal something, just say so. Why bother with all these roundabout ways? You so-called reputable sects and the righteous path of humanity, but I never expected you to be such filthy people. It's disgusting!"

"Be bold!"

"Young man is arrogant!"

"court death!"

Upon hearing this, the powerful figures were first stunned, and then they all flew into a rage.

However, the next moment, something even more astonishing happened.

Lu Qing's figure suddenly disappeared from the spot.

When they reappeared, they were already in front of the Supreme Elder of the Lan Hai Sect.

With his right hand clenched into a fist, he instantly opened his stance and threw a punch at the opponent's face.

　There will be another chapter tonight, but it might be quite late. You can read it tomorrow morning.
