The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

"What did you say?!"

Wenren Yin has begun to abandon her pretense of a persona, and her fragile and sensitive true self is increasingly being revealed.

Chi Miao relaxed his eyebrows, then revealed a contemptuous expression:

"Wenren Yi's wastefulness has nothing to do with me. It's his own fault for having an unstable Dao heart and acting impulsively. As a cultivator from a major sect, his destruction is only his own responsibility, and he can't blame anyone else!"

"Now that he's stabbed me, I'm merely returning the favor, it's fair... It's a pity he couldn't catch my sword, is that my fault?"

"As for your son who finally reached the Mahayana stage through countless trials and tribulations, he made a vow beforehand, and he is well aware of his own oath, yet he still tries to oppress me with the attitude of a Mahayana stage cultivator. What does his self-destruction have to do with me?"

"Unable to accept the mediocrity and ignorance of their own bloodline, they turn around and blame me. They should use that time to reflect on their own upbringing... It's morally reprehensible!"

Chi Miao's words were like pearls, each sentence precisely piercing Wenren Yin's most sensitive spot, causing Wenren Yin to tremble all over and her eyes to become bloodshot.

"Even on the verge of death, you're still being stubborn!!"

Chi Miao didn't hold back his mocking laughter: "Death? You dare kill me? If you kill me, no one will be able to open the Heavenly Sorrow Cave, and no one will know the secret of the Heavenly Sorrow Immortal's ascension to immortality!"

"Let me see... If you don't become an immortal, you really won't live for many more years. Come... kill me, kill me in front of everyone!"

"Just as I thought... Your whole family is a coward. Your son is a coward, your grandson is a coward, and now even you are, wanting everything... You don't even dare to kill me, tsk tsk tsk... Cowardly! Utterly cowardly!"

She's not stupid; the fact that she stood up shows she has nothing to fear.

She was absolutely certain that Wenren Yin wouldn't dare to kill her!

Wenren Yin, enraged, reached out and grabbed Chi Miao's neck tightly with both hands: "Don't think I really wouldn't dare!"

Chi Miao grabbed his arms with both hands, struggling with her eyes rolled back.

Then she stopped pretending and looked at him with a smile:

"I believe you! Of course I believe you!"

"You'd better kill me now, or... you'll regret it for the rest of your life!"

Her eyes were extremely aggressive, like those of a hawk or a venomous snake, capable of striking the deepest fears of her prey and instilling panic in them.

Wenren Yin closed his eyes, shook off Chi Miao, and sneered, "Make me regret it for the rest of my life? You don't have that ability, your entire sect doesn't have that ability!!"

Chi Miao smiled and shook his head.

"Stupid and cowardly."

That's the best compliment I could give you.

She stood high above, her feet dangling in the air, looking down at the people below, then glancing at the group of prodigies: "Release them. Now that I'm in your hands, you should keep your promise."

Wenren Yin: "Are you teaching me how to do things?"

Chi Miao shrugged: "You don't have to do that, but angering others doesn't seem like a good thing for you either?"

Wenren Yin narrowed his eyes, staring at Chi Miao with venom, and pondered for a moment.

Now that Chi Miao is in his hands, he has achieved the effect he wanted.

As Chi Miao said, although he was only at the Tribulation Transcending stage, almost all of the ten major sects had a Tribulation Transcending stage cultivator hidden within them. Angering them would not be a good thing for him.

Wenren Yin released the Tianjiao Group.

All members of the Prodigy Group were taken away by their respective sects and are now in a safe situation.

Wenren Yin turned to look at Chi Miao, raising his voice to tell everyone:

"Thank Chi Miao for exchanging the rest of his life for you bunch of good-for-nothing heirs... Now, I will cripple you in front of everyone and strip you of your proud talent."

"Foundation building of the Heavenly Dao, six Golden Cores, and one of them is a ten-pattern Golden Core. What a pity... If you hadn't provoked the wrong person, your later life should have been very glorious."

He became excited as he spoke.

How exciting it is to be able to cripple such an unprecedented and unparalleled genius!

It was at this time that...

Chi Miao suddenly choked out, "Cripple me? You should worry more about yourself."

Wenren Yin still said the same thing: "Even when death is imminent, he's still stubborn."

As he finished speaking, a wisp of demonic energy appeared in his hand.

Chi Miao doesn't have a dantian, so there's no way to cripple her using normal methods, but... demonic energy is different.

Demonic energy is the nemesis of all cultivators, especially since this is the demonic energy of a noble demon, one of the ten candidates for Demon King.

This demonic energy, under his disguise, not only approached spiritual power almost perfectly, but its intensity was also dozens of times greater than ordinary demonic energy.

If the medicine is injected into Chi Miao's body and she is saved in time, she will not die, but she will be a cripple for life.

"Let's say goodbye to our identity as a prodigy forever."

After saying that, he concealed the demonic energy within his spiritual power and invaded Chi Miao's body.

Chi Miao's eyes widened, she clutched herself in pain, clenched her teeth and screamed repeatedly:

"It hurts so much!!!"

The people below looked on with even more rage and shame.

Chi Miao made this sacrifice for the sake of their family's pride and joy.

She could have lived a life of pride...

Just then, Wenren chuckled sinisterly, "What a beautiful voice."

Chi Miao: "It hurts so much, it hurts so much~"

Wenren Yin: "?"

Chi Miao: "Pain! Pain! Thirty-six pains! All of this really hurts!"

Everyone: "??"

They looked at Chi Miao with an utterly incredulous gaze.

Why are you humming now?!

Chi Miao hummed as he quietly backed away.

Everyone just stared blankly at Chi Miao, then retreated to Master Puning's side, and she stopped snorting.

Wenren Yin: "???"

Chi Miao revealed a cheeky expression: "Hehe."

Wenren Yin: "How is that possible?!"

"You...you...?"

He was somewhat incoherent, but he genuinely couldn't explain the principles behind his methods.

Once he says it, he's exposed.

Chi Miao was afraid that Wen Renyin wouldn't realize that she was perfectly fine, so she used her spiritual power to set off a small fireworks display in front of her.

"stop--"

"Bang!!!"

The fireworks made Wenren Yin's head buzz.

"How did you manage to do that?! No matter how many tricks you have up your sleeve, the difference in our cultivation levels is so vast... You—"

Chi Miao: "Mind your own business when it comes to beautiful women! If you're no good, you're no good; a piece of trash is a piece of trash!"

"You have a useless son and a useless grandson, and what good are you yourself?"

"Now... your turn is over, and it's my turn to perform."

"You thought the main event today was me killing Wenren Yi? Wrong... The main event today is the entire Heavenly Sword Sect! Including you!"

Chi Miao's words startled everyone.

Even Master Puning, who was standing next to him, quickly pushed Chi Miao away.

No, are you scared out of your wits? Have you gone mad? Have you lost your mind?!

Master Puning: "Do you want to hear what you're saying?"

Chi Miao nodded emphatically, accompanied by a sly, knowing smile:

"Of course I know what I'm saying. Not only do I know what I'm going to say, I also only need to—"

"I will use the privileges of the Heavenly Pride Group, Nine Swords Mountain, and Golden Buddha Temple—these three major groups—to initiate a trial of the Heavenly Sword Sect!"

"Heavenly Sword Sect—colluding with the Demon Clan!!!"
