Covering the Sky: Fairy, I really need to control you properly.

On the high platform, True Man Xuanzhu stood up and was about to step down.

"Young man, you must die!"

However, another figure was faster than him.

Su Yunqi, the peak master of Tian Shu Peak and the master of Fairy Zixia, stood in front of him.

"Elder," Su Yunqi said, "Just now on the platform, when Yang Mo brought out the forbidden artifact, you personally came to my seat. I was wondering at the time when you became so warm to me."

"Later I realized that they were afraid I would take action, so they would keep me occupied and prevent anyone from interfering with the affairs of the Daotai."

"It is impolite not to reciprocate. You held me back just now, so please sit down here peacefully."

Master Xuanzhu's expression darkened.

"How many can you stop?"

On the high platform, someone else stood up.

Second, third, and fourth.

The three Supreme Elders rose to their feet; their hair was white, and their Taoist robes were embroidered with purple bamboo patterns.

Of the nine Supreme Lords of the Purple Mansion, five originated from Purple Bamboo Peak.

At this moment, apart from Xuanzhu Zhenren who had been stopped by Su Yunqi, three more people came out, revealing their auras of the second level of the Sendai Heaven, which rivaled Lin Suwen's aura.

"Junior Sister Suwen, if this boy isn't killed today, it will be difficult to appease the people!"

Below the stage, the disciples of various sects suddenly stirred, while the people of the Purple Mansion dared not utter a sound.

"Is this... an internal power struggle within the Purple Mansion?"

"The four Grand Elders have all entered the fray at the same time; they're determined to kill Xu Jinhuan!"

"How could a mere Dao Palace Realm disciple provoke the intervention of four Supreme Elders from Purple Bamboo Peak?"

The people from the Holy Land of Ten Thousand Beginnings and the Four Symbols Sect exchanged a glance and tacitly remained silent.

This was a family matter within the Purple Mansion, and they were happy to watch the spectacle.

Lin Su asked, "My three senior uncles, are you trying to incite a civil war in front of your fellow sects in the Eastern Wilderness?"

However, the three elders did not stop walking.

One of them, whose Taoist name was Xuansong, was of the same generation as Xuanzhu Zhenren.

"Junior Sister Suwen, what is this talk of civil war?" Master Xuansong said slowly, "It's just about killing a wicked junior."

Another elder chimed in, saying, "On the Dao Discussion Platform, fellow disciples turned on each other, even killing their senior brother. Such acts must be punished with one's life!"

The three Supreme Elders approached in a triangular formation, their oppressive aura as deep as an abyss.

Lin Suwen remained standing in front of Xu Jinhuan, her robes fluttering in the wind.

"Today, unless I am no longer this Holy Lord."

"Otherwise, I will definitely protect this disciple from harm."

At this moment, Lin Suwen no longer resembled an old woman on her deathbed. Her white hair danced wildly, her eyes blazed with a terrifying light, and her purple aura swirled for three thousand miles, enveloping the entire Dao Discussion Platform.

"Junior sister, do you really intend to stop us? Think it over!" Master Xuansong's expression changed slightly, but he did not back down.

Just then, another figure stepped forward.

The peak master of Misty Peak earnestly said, "Everyone, please calm down."

"Our Purple Mansion has been established for ten thousand years. Our ancestors have overcome countless obstacles to build this foundation today. Do we intend to let other holy lands laugh at us?"

She looked around at everyone and said, "If there's anything, discuss it privately behind closed doors. What kind of behavior is this, making a scene like this in front of our colleagues in the Eastern Wilderness?"

At this point, even Ge Wangsheng, the usually taciturn master of Baopu Peak, stepped forward.

If it really comes to action, he won't stand idly by.

Immediately afterwards, some people in the Ji family's seat also offered words of advice.

"Fellow Daoists of the Purple Mansion, the Dao Discussion Conference is still ongoing. If there are any grievances, we can discuss them privately after the conference concludes. Damaging harmony now would not be good for the Purple Mansion or any of the other sects."

"Some things can be considered in the long run."

The Ji family's influence is ultimately different.

The ancient clans possess profound heritage. Although they do not establish sacred sites, they are even more unfathomable than ordinary sacred sites.

With just this one sentence, even the several Supreme Elders of Purple Bamboo Peak had to give him some face.

The atmosphere became tense.

The three Supreme Elders of Zizhu Peak neither pressed closer nor retreated.

Lin Suwen remained standing in front of Xu Jinhuan, her imposing presence undiminished.

It was a tense standoff, yet neither side made the first move.

In this delicate balance, a divine thought entered Xu Jinhuan's sea of ​​consciousness.

She is Zixia Fairy.

"Don't act impulsively!"

"We're here. The Holy Lord will hold them off, and Master will stop Xuanzhu. We'll keep you safe."

Xu Jinhuan was silent for a moment, then suddenly smiled.

"It's nothing, just a little bit of hardship."

"They all want me dead, why don't you just kill them?"

"Fairy, sometimes you're just too soft-hearted and don't understand the stakes."

Zixia fell silent.

Xu Jinhuan continued, "Factional struggles within the Holy Land have always been a matter of life and death. Do you think those people from Purple Bamboo Peak are your elders? Do you see even a trace of elder's kindness in their eyes when they look at you?"

"They're not attacking you because you're a disciple of the Purple Mansion Holy Land."

"It's because you possess an innate Dao embryo, with limitless potential and priceless value. If Purple Bamboo Peak hadn't lacked female disciples with potential worthy of you, do you think you could have cultivated safely to this day?"

These words were like a needle, piercing a corner of Zixia's heart that she had always refused to look at.

"Today, let me clean house for you."

"But if you use imperial weapons to wreak havoc, the Holy Land will suffer a severe blow!" Zixia's voice became urgent. "The five Supreme Elders of Purple Bamboo Peak, and countless elders and disciples..."

She bit her lip.

"It's not easy for my Purple Mansion to establish itself in the Eastern Wilderness. If more than half of its leaders are lost..."

Xu Jinhuan replied, "If hearts are not united, strength will be scattered and weak. Rather than leaving a giant in pieces, it's better to gather the five fingers into a fist!"

Zixia knew that Xu Jinhuan was not joking.

She had personally experienced the power of that black gourd through resonance.

If Xu Jinhuan were to truly activate it, not to mention the three Supreme Elders, even the entire Purple Mansion Holy Land might not be able to stop it.

"Give the Holy Lord some more time; she will calm all this down. Please wait, okay?"

Xu Jinhuan fell silent.

After a moment, he sighed softly.

Zixia's face was cold, but her heart was pure.

An eighteen or nineteen-year-old girl, spending her days with Taoist scriptures, untouched by hardship and never stained by real blood.

If she were to be reborn into her past life, she would simply be a college student with clear, bright eyes.

"Fairy, you're just too kind and too considerate of the bigger picture!"

"Very well. Today, I will show you the true colors of these people."

Zixia was taken aback: "What?"

Xu Jinhuan did not answer.

To everyone's astonishment, he moved.

Step by step, they stepped out of Lin Suwen's protective sphere.

The azure-gold blood energy receded, the Five Elements Dao Palace fell silent, and the unguarded body was exposed to the oppressive power of the three Immortal Platform experts.

"Kid, are you crazy?!"

Su Yunqi was the first to react, and his expression changed drastically.

Lin Suwen turned around abruptly and shouted, "Come back!"

She tried to pull him back, but Master Xuansong and another Supreme Elder moved at the same time.

The two men, one on the left and one on the right, did not seek to harm the enemy, but only to restrain them.

Lin Suwen's rescue efforts were abruptly halted; just a moment later, Xu Jinhuan had already moved out of the area she could protect.
