From the fake emperor to the concubine

After suppressing the arrogance of these people, Zheng Yi said calmly: "I have heard what our sect disciples said just now."

"You all suspect that the skills we brought out from Xingxiu Sea are reserved."

"You are worried that after practicing this technique, you may have some hidden dangers that you are not aware of, which may lead to you being targeted in the future. Am I right?"

Although there are many Jindan stage masters here, their cultivation is definitely not worse than Zheng Yi's.

But no matter who it was, they all felt Zheng Yi's gaze on them.

It was clearly not the kind of oppression from the strong over the weak, but they still felt their scalps tingling.

Zheng Yi waited for a while, and seeing that no one answered his question, he nodded and said, "Since no one is talking, I will assume that you all think the same."

"Now that I have come to this, I have no intention of hiding it from you. To tell you the truth, this secret method is indeed incomplete. The most core part is still in the hands of us Xingxiu Sea."

As soon as Zheng Yi finished speaking, the scene exploded with a buzzing sound.

In fact, the cultivators did not completely believe this speculation. After all, the two exercises seemed to be quite complete on the surface, and they did not expect that there was something fishy going on.

Wang Haiweng, who was hiding behind the gate, was sweating when he heard this. He wanted to go out to stop it, but he was afraid that it would affect Zheng Yi's plan: "You clearly have no reservations, what is Elder Zheng trying to do?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a woman's voice rang out: "It must be because no matter how you explain it at this time, no one will believe it."

“So that’s how it is…” Wang Haiweng suddenly realized, then turned around and was stunned again: “Master…Master, why are you here?”

Wen Ziyan's eyes were filled with evil: "Of course I came to see how many people are ignorant of what is good for them."

Although she seems to be smiling like a flower, the murderous aura on her body is so strong that it seems to have taken shape.

Even a master of the Spiritualization Stage like Wang Haiweng couldn't help but swallow his saliva, thinking to himself: "The Sect Master seems to be even stronger. It shouldn't be long before he really breaks through to the Enlightenment Stage, right?"

Outside the gate of Xingxiu Sea, Zheng Yi waited for these people to whisper for a while, and then continued loudly: "The reason why we in Xingxiu Sea put these two exercises here is because the Mingling tribe has frequently attacked our human race recently, trying to provoke a full-scale war between the two tribes."

"By that time, if even one cultivator of our human race can improve his cultivation, it will be the strength of our human race."

"Considering the future of the entire human race, we in Xingxiu Sea put the overall situation first and announced such a wonderful technique to the public."

As soon as Zheng Yi finished speaking, someone in the crowd pretended to be contemptuous and said, "Since you Xingxiu Sea are so great, why don't you take out the complete skills? I think you have ulterior motives."

His words immediately attracted the agreement of many people.

"That's right. Since you have all taken out your skills, why don't you take out all of them?"

"It's just to show off myself."

"Or you can just show us the complete technique. Why are you doing things so awkwardly?"

Because Zheng Yi directly admitted that the skills that Xingxiu Hai brought out were not complete, many cultivators who stood on Xingxiu Hai's side did not think there was anything wrong with this.

But for a moment, morale was a little low and they didn't know how to stand up and help Xingxiu Hai.

Zheng Yi nodded as if he had suddenly realized something, and said, "You all have a point. We in Xingxiu Sea are indeed a bit fussy about how we do things."

Everyone was stunned.

I'm a bit overwhelmed as to what happened?
Wen Ziyan and Wang Haiweng didn't understand why Zheng Yi behaved so badly and took the initiative to admit his mistakes after being criticized by others?

Those monks who were forcing Xingxiu Sea looked at each other in surprise. They had already imagined many situations.

What they didn't expect was that the person sent by Xingxiu Sea to deal with the matter would apologize to them so easily.

After the surprise, greed appeared on everyone's face.

I originally thought Zheng Yi was a tough guy, but he turned out to be a weakling. If that were the case, wouldn't it be possible to gain more benefits?

Those monks who originally supported Xingxiu Hai were numb and felt like they were being stabbed in the back.

The next moment, Zheng Yi said firmly: "It is really ill-considered for us in Xingxiu Sea to publish the skills without authorization."

"We are self-righteous and have never considered other monks' perspectives. We don't understand the situations they may face."

"I am now ordering on behalf of our leader to put away these two secret books, so that everyone does not have to worry about any hidden dangers that you cannot detect after learning our secret books."

"Someone, please move these two away. They are the source of suffering for fellow Taoists."

"Okay, Elder." The gatekeeper disciple was an honest man. He simply picked up a stone tablet and walked back.

Although this stone tablet is huge, to a cultivator in the crystallization period, it is no different from a feather.

Therefore, the gatekeeper walked very fast.

Zheng Yi even deliberately apologized to the monks around him and said, "Don't worry, fellow Taoists. We will handle it right away."

This time, everyone was numb.

They just wanted to control Xingxiu Sea, but they never thought of letting Xingxiu Sea take away their skills.

Although these two sets of exercises do not contain many words, some people have not finished reading them.

Moreover, even if they had finished reading it, they would not dare to let Xingxiuhai take away the skills directly.

Originally, Xingxiu Lake was free for everyone to see, but these people made a fuss and irritated Xingxiu Lake, causing it to be closed to everyone.

If this matter gets out, they will definitely suffer the consequences.

Someone immediately rushed to stop it.

"Wait...wait a minute, that's not what I mean."

"Elder, please don't be impulsive. We definitely don't want to blame Xingxiu Sea."

"That boy, stop first."

As these people spoke, they rushed forward to stop the gatekeepers.

"I am the Son of Heaven!"

Zheng Yi snorted coldly, the emperor's majesty cannot be violated.

With a loud crash, all the cultivators in front of the gate of Xingxiu Sea fell to their knees on the ground one by one.

Zheng Yi's talent can completely ignore the level of cultivation.

Even the Jindan cultivators couldn't withstand it, let alone those cultivators with even weaker strength.

All the Xingxiuhai disciples holding the stone tablets engraved with martial arts techniques fell to the ground with weak legs.

The stone tablet in his hand fell to the ground with a loud bang.

As luck would have it, the stone tablet fell right on a step. After it landed, it shook twice and actually fell down the steps.

"Catch it quickly!" The faces of those monks changed drastically and they shouted anxiously.

If it weren't for Zheng Yi's influence, everyone would have been kneeling on the ground, and someone would have rushed over to hold the stone tablet.

But now, only the two monks who had just been chasing relatively close were in the direction where the stone tablet fell. Both of them were Jindan masters, and they crawled over on their knees using their hands and feet, caught the fallen stone tablet, and carefully put it down.

They had just severely offended Xingxiuhai. If anything went wrong with the stone tablet...

Under the current circumstances, it is unlikely that Xingxiu Sea will be merciful enough to carve a new one for them.

Seeing that the stone tablet was intact, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.

But before they could let go of their worries, Zheng Yi suddenly realized something and said to the gatekeeper, "You really reminded me. This stone tablet is useless anyway. It will only take up space if we take it back. It's better to just smash it and save the trouble."

As he said this, he swung his palm and slapped the fallen stone tablet.

With a cultivation level comparable to that of a peak Golden Core, not to mention a stone tablet, even a small mountain can be smashed into pieces.

"do not want!"

Everyone's face changed drastically. Although they were still unable to stand up under the pressure of Zheng Yi's imperial majesty, they all knelt and rushed towards Zheng Yi.

There are quite a few Jindan stage masters here, and even if they are kneeling, their speed is definitely not slow.

Having angered Zheng Yi before, they did not dare to attack him.

Everyone was resisting Zheng Yi's attack, but they just passively took the beating and didn't dare to fight back at all.

Four people flew out on the spot with blood spurting from their mouths.

If someone paid attention to their cultivation, they would find that those who were knocked out were all the strongest masters. Twelve of the weaker ones vomited blood, but were not knocked away.

Those who were the weakest, although also suffered injuries that were neither light nor serious, actually had the lightest injuries on their bodies.

Stopping the attack, Zheng Yi pretended to be angry and said, "It is you who dislike our Xingxiuhai skills and think that we are hiding something and are not suitable for cultivation."

"Now that we know where our problems lie, we have to take back these skills in order to prevent you from falling into danger. Why are you trying to stop us?"

The monks present lowered their heads in embarrassment, not knowing what to say for a moment.

After all, they were the ones who had just aggressively accused Xingxiu Hai of having problems with his martial arts. Now that Zheng Yi doesn't want to play around anymore and is ready to overturn the table, they were also the ones who wanted to stop Zheng Yi.

Zheng Yi's cold voice echoed in front of the Xingxiu Sea Gate: "What do you want?"

As if in line with Zheng Yi's words, as soon as his voice fell, a thunderclap sounded out of nowhere in the sky.

Rumble!
The sudden thunder made everyone shiver uncontrollably.

Just at this moment, a smart guy suddenly had an idea.

"Elder, please have mercy on us. We were just confused for a moment and were deceived by others. That's why we accidentally did something wrong. Elder, please look into it."

"Oh? Is there such a thing?" Zheng Yi seemed to understand the reason for the incident and pretended to be puzzled and asked, "Who is the culprit?"

Soon, Ouyang Luo was pushed out by those monks.

His strength was quite good, but facing so many monks, he did not dare to resist at all.

"Is that what you said? There might be problems when practicing our Xingxiu Sea's exercises?" Zheng Yi looked down at Ouyang Luo, his voice cold and murderous.

Ouyang Luo didn't dare to look Zheng Yi in the eye. He tried hard to get himself out of the situation, but he was unwilling to give up. "I... I just raised my doubts. I don't have any other intentions."

"No?" Zheng Yi twitched his lips: "Then I'll ask you a few questions."

His self-proclaimed name surprised the people around him, but no one wanted to delve into it.

There are all kinds of cultivators in Canglan Realm.

Although it is rare that there are people who like to be emperor, now is not the time for that.

"We in Xingxiu Sea have put a knife to your neck and forced you to practice these skills."

"This..." Ouyang Luo was speechless for a moment, stammering and unable to say anything.

He didn't know what to do, but Zheng Yi had no intention of letting him go: "Answer my question!"

Ouyang Luo's heart trembled, and he felt that the cultivator in front of him, who had a cultivation level similar to his own, must not be deceived.

"No...no." Ouyang Luo swallowed and answered with difficulty.

"When we from Xingxiu Sea gave you this technique, did we charge you extra money?"

"No." Ouyang Luo lowered his head.

"Or is it that we, Xingxiu Sea, use this technique to force you to work like slaves for us?"

Ouyang Luo's head almost dropped to the ground: "No."

"Very good. Since we in Xingxiu Sea have no requirements for you, if you feel that this technique is not worth learning, or that it may be harmful to you, why don't you just not practice it?"

"What qualifications do you have to ask us from Xingxiuhai to give you an explanation?"

"These are all the skills of my Xingxiu Sea. For the sake of the overall situation, I am letting you learn them. Even if there are some hidden secrets, they are just some core skills."

"You are not only ungrateful, but you are also asking for more. What is your intention?"

Zheng Yi's words were as sharp as a knife, making Ouyang Luo sweat coldly. What he was afraid of now was not Zheng Yi, but the surrounding monks, whose eyes seemed to want to kill.

Although the current situation is caused by their own greed.

But that's human nature.

If everything goes well and they get everything they want, although they will not be grateful to Ouyang Luo, it would not be a big deal to give him some insignificant benefits.

But now things have failed, and it might even turn out that Xingxiu Sea will take back the skills, leaving everyone with no skills to practice.

They would not think that they were accomplices, but would just put all the blame on Ouyang Luo.

In addition, Zheng Yi just deliberately used words to guide him.

All the criticism was directed at Ouyang Luo alone.

Those monks who wanted to atone for their sins and change Zheng Yi's mind suddenly had a breakthrough.

"You are such a shameless guy. Xingxuhai has done so much for you, but instead of being grateful, you want to slander Xingxuhai. This is simply an unforgivable crime."

"I was deceived by such a person just now. I regret it so much."

"Elder, I think this guy's purpose must be complicated. Maybe someone is behind this. I suggest arresting him and interrogating him severely."

"I am very good at soul searching. If Xingxiuhai is inconvenient, I can help you."

"Why are you talking so much? Do we need to trouble fellow Taoists from Xingxiu Sea to take action? Can't we just catch this guy?"

Some of the more impatient monks have even started to arrest people. (End of this chapter)
