Trading system, I exchanged vegetables for golden pills.

Elder Xu looked around, unwilling to give up, and all he saw were pairs of indifferent eyes.

It seems they all want him dead!

"Ye Chen, you bastard, you broke your promise!" Elder Xu gritted his teeth.

If Ye Chen were standing next to him, Elder Xu would probably devour him alive; he was furious.

Ye Chen let him go, but only on the surface; it didn't change his situation at all.

The people of Luoshui Sect will not let him go...

Elder Xu was so angry he laughed!

Having lived to a ripe old age, he was ultimately outmaneuvered by Ye Chen's wordplay.

He accepted his fate, knowing he had been tricked by Ye Chen.

After all, his life had been in Ye Chen's hands before, so he might as well give the things to Ye Chen.

But what frustrated him the most was, what was wrong with this junior disciple?

Why are they so blatantly attacking him?

what?

It's true what they say: when a tiger is down on its luck, it's bullied by dogs; when a person is in trouble, they're worse off than a dog!

Good, good, now even a junior disciple dares to talk back to him like this!

OK!

He still remembered this young disciple; if he wasn't mistaken, his name was Shen Shan.

Just moments ago, he was the first to express his support for him, but now he's the first to stand up and betray him.

Life is full of surprises!

Elder Xu glanced at Liu Qing and Elder Li, who were also staring at him intently.

Given his current physical condition, it seems unlikely that he can escape unscathed!

It's almost impossible!

Liu Qing is still almost at his peak, and Elder Li still has the strength to fight.

His Qi Sea was injured, and he might not even be able to defeat one of them now, let alone two, with so many disciples around...

How many people are waiting to take his head as a pledge of loyalty?

There were probably quite a few. He even saw several young disciples he had previously favored staring at him with unfriendly expressions.

When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; at this point, he has become the target of public criticism.

Everyone was trying to extract the last bit of value from him.

Elder Xu seemed to have figured out many things in that instant, his face filled with bitterness, resentment, and anger...

However, the hint of panic in his eyes quickly disappeared completely at this moment.

He's an elder, after all; he's seen it all!

In such a deadly situation where death is certain, a person will instantly calm down.

Since we can't escape it, let's face it with equanimity.

"Looks like I can't leave. Heh, sigh, this is fate. Well, the Luoshui Sect is a good place to rest in peace!" Elder Xu murmured.

Then Elder Xu suddenly looked at Shen Shan, who was rushing over, and sneered: "However, I am still an elder of a sect. How dare you, a mere disciple, insult me? Do you really think I'm a cabbage that anyone can trample on?"

Shen Shan heard Elder Xu's words and saw Elder Xu's cold eyes.

For some reason, he instinctively started to panic...

However, the distance between the two was less than three meters, making it difficult for him to stop!

At this point, he could only hypnotize himself, telling himself that the person in front of him was just an old man with a damaged Qi Sea, nothing to be afraid of!

"You old thief—ah—"

Shen Shan shouted, but before he could even utter the word "die," he was sent flying backward, blood spurting from his mouth and nose...

"Hmph, if you want to stand out, then pay with your life!" Elder Xu shouted sternly.

Shen Shan was thrown more than five meters away before crashing heavily to the ground. His chest was caved in, and he was barely breathing; it seemed he was going to die.

Elder Xu's face was flushed, as if he was forcibly holding his breath, or as if he was forcibly stimulating his potential, which caused his body to be damaged again.

The scene fell silent for a moment, and many eager disciples were stunned.

Holy crap, wasn't Elder Xu injured in the Qi Sea? How come he's still so fierce!

This old guy is probably going all out. It seems this pledge of loyalty won't be so easy to get!

Shen Shan, that loser, wanted to show off in front of the Holy Maiden, but ended up losing his life instead.

Some disciples who originally had ideas quietly became invisible. While it's good to make a good impression, their own lives are the most important thing.

Elder Xu surveyed the crowd with a cold gaze, quite satisfied with the reactions of his disciples.

Scared? That's a good thing!

He was a Foundation Establishment cultivator, a high-ranking elder; even if he died, he had to die with dignity!

He would only accept something if the Holy Maiden intervened personally!

This was his last vestige of dignity.

Elder Xu spoke calmly, "Who else? I'm standing right here. Anyone who wants to curry favor with the Holy Maiden, feel free to come forward!"

The scene was completely silent.

Liu Qing glanced at the disciples' reactions, then at Shen Shan, who was practically dead, before looking at Elder Xu.

"Elder Xu, you were once an elder of the Luoshui Sect. I'll give you a dignified death; end it yourself!"

After Liu Qing finished speaking, she looked at the other person quietly.

Elder Xu grinned: "End it myself? Sorry, I can't bring myself to do it. I'll have to trouble the Holy Maiden to send me on my way!"

Elder Xu's eyes were filled with madness as he secretly mustered all his strength, preparing for a final struggle!

He can't defeat the Holy Maiden now, but if he could injure her, then...

Liu Qing had no other choice; Elder Xu ultimately wanted her to end it herself!

"You traitorous old villain, then I'll finish you off myself!"

Without wasting any more words, Liu Qing drew his sword and charged toward Elder Xu.

Elder Xu grinned maliciously, preparing to unleash his full power, but a sharp pain in his lower abdomen caused him to instantly lose his strength.

He still underestimated the destructive power of Ye Chen's sword strike.

Elder Xu coughed up a mouthful of blood and his aura weakened.

Although Liu Qing was only in the early stage of Foundation Establishment, he was still a Foundation Establishment cultivator.

In addition, Shen Shan had just tested Elder Xu's current strength by making a move.

Or rather, Elder Xu was already at his last gasp after his furious attack that killed Shen Shan.

As long as Liu Qing uses the strategy of stalling, Elder Xu's forced breath will dissipate, and the injury to his Qi Sea will only worsen.

Therefore, there was no suspense in their fight!

Elder Xu was unable to withstand Liu Qing's all-out attack.

His dying scheme to drag the saintess down with him failed.

In the end, Elder Xu was beheaded with a single sword strike, bringing this matter to a close.

Liu Qing's killing of the traitor can be considered a consolation to the spirit of the old sect leader in heaven.

On the other side, Ye Chen and Elder Wu arrived at an exquisite courtyard, which was Elder Wu's residence.

"I didn't realize you guys were so up-to-date, you've even built a small villa!" Ye Chen smiled.

What could Elder Wu say? He could only smile apologetically and open the door, saying, "Come in, please!"

Ye Chen stood still: "Go get it. I'm not used to going into other people's homes; it looks like I'm stealing. I'm a man of principle!"

Elder Wu thought to himself, "Ha, it's really awkward for you to say the word 'integrity'."

But it's good that Ye Chen didn't go in with him; everyone has their little secrets!

"Please wait a moment, I'll go in and get it!" Elder Wu said and quickly went into the house.

Although Ye Chen didn't actually go inside, his divine sense had already begun "raiding" the place.
