Chapter 297 Exterminating the Evil Son and Shaking the Entire Palace

The patriarch of the Shi family was undoubtedly an old immortal in the palace, second only to the palace master and others. Even if he was not at the half-step primordial spirit level, he must have been at a similar level.

Such a person was captured by Yu Que as soon as he emerged from the Shi family's ancestral peak.

"The purple aura emanating from this child is undoubtedly celestial light!"

"How hateful! How could he obtain such a primordial spirit weapon just by going out to sea? We have been cultivating hard for many years, but we have been stuck in the Refining Qi Realm."

The numerous immortals gazed at the gap in mid-air, their expressions shifting constantly—some filled with fear, some with apprehension, and some with greed.

For a moment, they remained silent, communicating only through telepathy or their minds racing with thoughts.

No one dared to step forward and respond to Yu Que's demand to "uphold justice."

The Peak Master of Refinement Peak stood among them, also staring at Yu Que with a shocked expression, unable to recover for a long time.

He rubbed his eyes and looked at Yu Que again and again, confirming that the purple immortal light on Yu Que's body was indeed a primordial spirit Dao soldier.

Fierce and strong, extraordinary, and peerless!

Moreover, this celestial light is exactly the form and color of the Six Ding and Six Jia Dao Soldiers of the Refinement Peak, and its foundation is the Six Ding and Six Jia!
"Where did this guy get such a great opportunity to cultivate the Six Ding Six Jia at the Nascent Soul level!"

The Peak Master of Refinement recognized it at a glance, and he was speechless: "A Nascent Soul Dao Soldier... I didn't even touch a hair of it."

Several breaths later, he slowly came to his senses, his heart filled with joy and happiness in addition to shock.

"Okay, okay, okay!"

The peak master of the Refinement Peak blushed, and he almost immediately wanted to jump out, recognize Yu Que, and ask him how he had refined the Six Ding Six Jia at the primordial spirit level.

But as soon as he moved, he noticed the strange looks from the various immortals around him.

The Peak Master of Refining Du tightened his grip on the Xuanhuang Furnace. His eyes darted around, then he coughed lightly, unleashed his magical power, and shouted:
"Hey! You scoundrel, how dare you kill a true disciple of the Huangshan Taoist Temple?"

His shout, echoing amidst the silence of the mountains, was quite startling.

Some of the immortals were so frightened that they trembled and quickly moved away to avoid getting too close to him and getting splattered with his blood.

"Who is this old bastard? He dares to provoke that evil star? Isn't he afraid of death?!"

What impressed these people even more was that the "old man" in their eyes, after questioning Yu Que, actually dared to fly into the air and stand half a body height above Yu Que in front of everyone, holding a tall bronze incense burner in his hands, and scolded:
"Yu Que, confess immediately! If even half of it is untrue, I will surely put you in my furnace and leave you no one to cry out to for help, until you are refined to death in my precious furnace!"

A deity witnessed this scene and immediately cried out:

"Good! Well done! Teach this kid a lesson, don't let him lose face!"

"Who is this old hero? Although he is old and not very skilled, he is full of courage."

"The Peak Master of Refinement? That old tortoise immortal is usually very low-key."

Why isn't he hiding in the Refinement Peak tending a fire today, but instead running off to watch the commotion? Watching the commotion is one thing, but since when has he become so quick to defend the weak?

What immediately made everyone's eyes pop out was that the arrogant and domineering Yu Que actually showed a submissive expression when facing the old man, and immediately bowed and clasped his hands in greeting.

Upon seeing this, many of the Huangshan disciples who were following behind Yu Que instantly changed their expressions of righteous indignation to bewildered glances.

Now, only immortals like Gong Dongxue and Xuan Tu Shangren, who know both the Refining Peak Master and the relationship between the Refining Peak Master and Yu Que, all have strange expressions, with a hint of mischief on their faces.

Du Mie, this scoundrel, didn't actually jump out to reprimand Yu Que on his own initiative. He was clearly in a hurry to jump out and give Yu Que a good excuse and pretext to set the tone for the death of the true disciple Shi Lanzhi, so that he wouldn't be accused of treason and killing his fellow disciples.

When Yu Que saw his master appear, carrying something that looked somewhat familiar, he was not stupid and immediately guessed his master's intention.

So he spoke respectfully:
"Yes, disciple will confess immediately!"

Immediately, Yu Que took out a talisman from his sleeve. The talisman contained evidence of Li Mingxing and others' conspiracy that he had left on the Rakshasa Clan's merchant ship when he left Huangshan. It also contained the mastermind revealed by Li Mingxing's spirit.

Yu Que announced the talisman in front of everyone and gestured to the immortals around him: "You can release your divine senses to check the authenticity of this talisman. There are absolutely no traces of splicing or alteration in it."

Everyone listened to Li Mingxing and the others' words, and looked at the vaguely visible faces, their expressions filled with surprise and doubt.

Especially when the howls of Li Mingxing and the others' souls rang out, the fear in the eyes of the surrounding immortals deepened.

Someone muttered, "Good heavens, I thought this guy was so reckless because he had a Nascent Soul Dao Weapon. Turns out he dared to kill my Dao Palace disciples when he was only a seventh-rank cultivator."

Yu Que ignored the murmurs of these people. He turned around, faced Gong Dongxue behind him, and cupped his hands in greeting:
"Fellow Daoists, this is Fellow Daoist Gong, who sailed out to sea with me that day. She is the chief disciple of Master Xuantu."

This can also prove the truth of what happened on the ship.

In an instant, many people's eyes fell on Gong Dongxue.

Especially the Xuan Tu Shangren, who was just there to watch the show, looked nervous and inwardly cursed that he hadn't expected his own Xuan Tu Temple to be dragged into the mess.

Master Xuan Tu hurriedly tried to send his divine sense to stop him, but then he immediately remembered that his disciple had been following Yu Que, and that Yu Que's current status was completely different. He then hesitated again.

With a large number of people present, and Gong Dongxue's attention mainly focused on Yu Que, she did not notice her master's conflicted expression.

Upon hearing Yu Que's words, the woman calmly stepped forward, cupped her hands in greeting to the four directions, and then clearly stated:
"Reporting to fellow Daoists and seniors, it is true that Li Mingxing and others plotted treacherous schemes to harm Yu Que, the true disciple, and the evidence is conclusive."

"Disciple Gong Dongxue swears an oath of faith to prove its truth!"

After speaking, Gong Dongxue retreated into the midst of twenty or thirty Huangshan disciples, remaining silent and leaving the scene to Yu Que.

Yu Que then turned around, bowed deeply to the Peak Master of Refinement again, and said:
“It is not that I am cold-hearted and want to kill this woman, thus violating the palace rules. It is that the Shi family, in collusion with the Bai family outside the palace, first plotted to harm me and then induced me to kill her. I could not bear it for a moment and thus granted her wish.”

Upon hearing Yu Que's words, the Peak Master of Refinement Peak remained calm, his brows furrowed. However, the look in his eyes as he glanced at Yu Que was one of extreme satisfaction, filled with a sense of "this child is teachable."

At this moment, the disciples who had gone to sea and gathered behind Yu Que also began to clamor:
“Brother Yu Que is the best hero in the palace. It was clearly that lowly maid who begged Brother Yu Que to kill her. It was that lowly maid's problem. What does it have to do with my brother!”

"Seniors, Yu Que, the true disciple, didn't kill this person or that person, but he went and started killing people in the Shi family. It's clear that there's something wrong with the Shi family."

"The evidence is conclusive. Let alone killing a true disciple, even if we wipe out the Shi family and seize this mountain, we will still support it." The twenty or thirty disciples cheered for Yu Que with all their might. This commotion was noticed by the other immortal families, and many of them frowned slightly.

"Where did this jinx find such a group of bright and composed disciples?"

"Why do I have absolutely no recollection of these Qi Condensation disciples? Could they also be Qi Condensation disciples overseas?"

Even Yu Que felt a bit embarrassed listening to what the people behind him were saying. He was worried that these guys would take advantage of the situation and say something like "make him the palace master".

Although he doesn't mind taking on the responsibility of Huangshan Taoist Temple, he can't be in such a hurry.

"Silence!" Yu Que turned and glared at the group, shouting a command.

In an instant, the guys who had been making a ruckus and even laughing just moments before all fell silent, not daring to utter a single word of dissent.

Such a sight surprised many onlookers.

The Peak Master of the Refinement Peak glanced at him, a mischievous thought creeping into his mind: "This kid is good at fighting and killing, and he can also win people over. Could it be that our Refinement Peak has a worthy successor and is really going to become powerful..."

Although his thoughts were churning, the Peak Master of Refinement Peak remained outwardly calm and said:
"So, you came to the Shi family's ancestral peak seeking revenge, not to covet their spiritual creatures, and the Shi family is colluding with the Bai family outside the palace, plotting to harm you?"

Yu Que replied solemnly, "That's exactly right!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a chorus of curses erupted from the ancestral peak of the Shi family:
"Bullshit! You scoundrel, you killed someone and now you're trying to frame us!"

"Esteemed Immortal Masters, please do justice for my Shi family! Even if we have no merit, we have certainly worked hard in the palace. How can we be slandered and humiliated by such petty people?"

Many of them shouted to the Peak Master of Refinement:

"Old sage, please don't be fooled by the thief!"

"Old Immortal, if you are willing to help my Shi family capture this boy, my Shi family will definitely remember this and be on good terms with Liandu Peak!"

But the next moment, the Peak Master of Refinement Peak, standing in mid-air, suddenly sighed and said:

"So that's how it is. It's all my fault for making you suffer, Que'er."

Since you've come to the Shi family today seeking revenge, I naturally have no reason to stop you. However…”

He glanced at the noble families below him and said:
"There are still many innocent people in the Shi family. You must not start killing, otherwise even your master will not be able to save you."

As he said this, the Peak Master of Refinement Peak weighed the Xuanhuang Furnace in his hand in front of everyone.

Many people's expressions changed upon hearing this.

Especially those from the Shi family, they stared blankly at the sky, completely unexpected that the old immortal who jumped out to help them was actually the master of that murderer!

Some even blurted out, "This kid comes from the Refinement Peak? Impossible, aren't all the Refinement Peak members a bunch of good-for-nothings?"

Upon hearing this, the Peak Master of Refinement frowned slightly. Before Yu Que could make a move, he gently tapped the bronze furnace in his hand.

With a whoosh, a flame shot out.

A series of terrified screams rang out at the scene, and the other members of the Shi family who were about to murmur immediately shut their mouths, not daring to say anything.

The flames landed on the man, burning his clothes, hair, and everything else to ashes, but without harming his skin or flesh.

This move not only demonstrated the peak master's exquisite fire control ability, but also showed that he clearly stood on Yu Que's side.

Yu Que glanced at the panicked people from the Shi family's ancestral peak, then answered the peak master of the Refinement Peak:
"Yes, this disciple has come here only to capture Shi Lan and the powerful figure behind him. That will suffice."

As for the remaining members of the Shi family, who is innocent and who was involved, that will naturally be handled by the palace. This disciple will not overstep my bounds.

"Good." Seeing that Yu Que obeyed, the Peak Master of Refinement Peak showed even greater satisfaction.

Immediately, the Peak Master of the Refinement Peak looked around the Shi Family Ancestral Peak, observing the familiar faces of the immortals.

He spoke up:
"This humble Taoist priest has passed away and bows to you all. Today, the disciples of this peak have their reasons for this arrogant behavior."

I will certainly keep a close watch on them from now on. I wonder if you all believe me?

The Peak Master of Refinement spoke sincerely, clearly using his old face to help Yu Que build connections and quell jealousy.

Looking at the Peak Master of Refinement, Yu Que felt a surge of warmth in his heart. For the first time, he felt that his trip to Huangshan Dao Palace had not been in vain.

The immortals present, looking at the fat face of the Refinement Peak Master, exchanged glances, and surprisingly, seven or eight out of ten of them chose to speak up:
"Since there is a reason for this, Fellow Daoist Du Mie should be more careful in the future."

"This arrogant disciple really needs to be kept under close watch, fellow Daoist."

This scene caught the eye of the Peak Master of Refinement, leaving him utterly astonished.

"My influence is actually that effective?"

Yu Que was also surprised to see the changing attitudes of the immortals around him. He couldn't help but feel even more respect for his master.

To be able to garner so much support in the palace, Master is truly a man of great talent and shrewdness.

Actually, the two had a misunderstanding.

Although the Refining Peak Master was highly skilled and had a good reputation in the palace, none of the immortals present had not sought him out.

However, the reason why so many people are choosing to let things go is twofold: firstly, the Peak Master of Refinement Peak is standing up for Yu Que; secondly, Yu Que's methods are so formidable that they want to befriend him to avoid future retaliation.

Furthermore, many spirits were secretly wondering to themselves:
"Anyway, whether he is guilty or not is not up to us. This matter will inevitably be brought to Lotus Peak for the Palace Master and others to make a judgment... Since that's the case, why should we go against this kid?"

And so a bizarre scene unfolded.

Apart from the Shi family members constantly crying out for justice, all the immortals in the surrounding area remained silent and watched coldly.
