Film & TV: Public Enemy of Justice

"Yes, those disciples are beginners. They haven't learned to fly on swords yet. For cultivators, flying on swords is the first basic skill, and every disciple must be able to do it. You see, their sword lights are all different colors. That's because their swords are different, and different swords carry different sword radiance. Of course, it's also possible that some people adjust or conceal their sword lights according to their own attack methods."

Hua Qiangu listened to Ni Mantian's explanation and nodded as if she understood, but then she was attracted by the petals all over the tree and even opened her hand to catch a petal.

Bai Zihua glanced at Lin Yaoxie out of the corner of his eye. From the moment they entered Changliu, the boy had not shown any signs of agitation, as if he knew about this place or had been here before.

After all, Changliu is the number one sect in the world. If he is not interested in Changliu, then it can only mean that his background is even more powerful!

"One..." Bai Zihua walked to the entrance of the main hall and called out.

A moment later, a slightly dim-witted disciple from Changliu stepped forward and said, "Eleventh, this is the young demon hero."

Upon hearing Bai Zihua's introduction, Ni Mantian added, "Lin Yaoxie."

Bai Zihua changed his words: "This is Lin Yaoxie, the 183-year-old young hero, Hua Qiangu, and Ni Mantian, the daughter of the Penglai Sect Leader. They are staying at my Changliu for a few days. Please arrange good rooms for them to rest. Do not make them feel uncomfortable."

After Bai Zihua finished speaking, he turned to Lin Yaoxie and said, "Young hero, it's getting late. Get some rest. We'll meet in the council hall tomorrow." Lin Yaoxie cupped his hands in greeting.

"Respectfully seeing off Your Excellency!" After bowing, Eleven led the group towards the guest rooms.

"Eleventh Daoist!" Ni Mantian asked, "I wonder if the major sects have been informed about this matter at Mount Shu?"

Ni Mantian was still somewhat worried about her father.

"Fellow Daoist, rest assured, all the sect leaders have received the news and are on their way to Changliu. The sect leader of Penglai is expected to arrive tomorrow morning."

Eleven said that the message was issued to all the sect leaders on his master's orders.

"Fellow Daoist Mantian, this is a rest hall specially reserved for Penglai. We have arranged it for you here so that it will be convenient for you to meet with your father tomorrow."

11. Politely extend your hand.

"Thank you, Fellow Daoist Eleven." Ni Mantian turned to Lin Yaoxie and Hua Qiangu. "Fellow Daoist Eleven, I would like to take a look at my friend's resting place."

Eleven nodded and led them forward: "This is the Fallen Blossom Hall. Eleven saw that Fellow Daoist Hua Qiangu really likes flowers, so I arranged this Fallen Blossom Hall for you to rest comfortably." Hua Qiangu happily ran into the Fallen Blossom Hall, with Lin Yaoxie following behind her with his hands behind his back.

Chapter Six: Council in the Main Hall

"Good morning, fellow Daoist demon. I wonder if you like the osmanthus wine that I prepared for you?"

Lin Yaoxie had nothing to do when he woke up in the morning. He was sitting on a tree branch with his eyes closed, resting when Fellow Daoist Eleven arrived at Luoying Palace.

"Fellow Daoist Qian Gu, are you still not awake?"

Lin Yaoxie looked at him. This Luo Shiyi was really a bit fussy. As the chief disciple of Mo Yan, he was always dealing with all sorts of miscellaneous things at Changliu.

"The osmanthus wine was a bit too sweet; next time, I can use less honey." Lin Yaoxie recalled that breakfast just now, which was indeed a bit too sweet.

"His Majesty has invited you two to the council hall for a meeting. May I ask, Fellow Daoist Qian Gu..." Luo Shiyi asked somewhat embarrassedly.

In truth, he was quite suspicious, after all, this Lin Yaoxie was about the same age as him, or even a little younger.

This person's name has never been heard of in this world. It is quite unusual that His Majesty suddenly summoned them to attend a meeting of the various sect leaders.

Lin Yaoxie glanced at him sideways, "Wait..." Then he lightly touched the ground with his toes and landed directly in front of Hua Qiangu's room.

Lin Yaoxie pushed open the door and entered, only to find Hua Qiangu curled up in a corner of the bed curtains, fast asleep.

Ever since Lin Yaoxie took Xiaogu to Mount Shu, they had never slept in a proper bed. They usually sat on the ground, with Xiaogu resting her head on Lin Yaoxie's lap as she drifted off to sleep.

It's rare that Xiao Gu is enjoying her sweet dream today, so Lin Yaoxie doesn't intend to let trivial matters like the meetings of the various sect leaders spoil her.

"I already know. We'll go there when Xiao Gu wakes up."

Lin Yaoxie closed the door to Xiao Gu's room and said to Luo Shiyi.

Luo Shiyi looked at him and wasn't very easy to talk to: "Alright, I hope Fellow Daoist Xiao Gu gets some rest!"

Then he bowed and retreated outside the Luoying Hall.

Even His Majesty's invitation couldn't compare to this woman's beautiful dream? Just who is this person? He must hurry back and report to His Majesty.

"Reporting to Your Majesty, reporting to Master, Fellow Daoist Lin Yaoxie and Fellow Daoist Hua Qiangu will be joining the meeting a little later because…"

Seeing Mo Yan's increasingly frozen expression, Luo Shiyi still forced himself to speak:

"Because Fellow Daoist Xiao Gu hasn't gotten up yet!"

Luo Shiyi quickly lay down on the ground, not daring to breathe.

"Sect Leader Brother! How dare he be so arrogant!" Mo Yan frowned in anger. "Our Changliu Sect is the number one sect in the world, yet we are so disrespected by a junior!"

“In that case, this young man is truly unruly,” Sheng Xiaomo remarked.

Ever since Bai Zihua mentioned this young man to them yesterday, they had a vague feeling that this young man was unfathomable.

Now, unexpectedly, they don't even listen to Changliu's wishes.

"Senior brother, as you predicted, is he really capable of reaching the tenth level of the Heavenly Realm?"

Bai Zihua's brows remained furrowed: "It's hard to say, but even if I don't reach the tenth level, I can hardly contend with it on my own."

Bai Zihua recalled how Lin Yaoxie had broken through his and Sha Qianmo's moves with a single strike. This young man's strength should only be stronger than he had estimated, not weaker!

"Well, now that he's already come to Changliu, let's just take it one step at a time."

“It’s about time, let’s go to the council hall first,” Mo Yan said. “The various sect leaders are all discussing the matter of Mount Shu.”

"Demon brother..."

Hua Qiangu changed into the Taoist robe that Eleven had prepared for her and went outside to find Lin Yaoxie already sitting on a stone bench, enjoying tea.

"Did Xiao Gu oversleep?" Hua Qiangu looked at Lin Yaoxie and realized he must have been up for a long time.

"You can get up whenever you want. This is osmanthus wine from Changliu. It tastes a bit sweet to me, but I think you'll like it."

When Hua Qiangu heard Lin Yaoxie say that, she quickly ran over, picked up a spoon, and drank a spoonful of osmanthus wine.

"Brother Yao Xie is right, it is indeed a bit sweet."

"Now that we've had our fill of drinks, let's go to the council chamber and listen to these so-called prestigious sects put on a grand show!"

Lin Yaoxie flicked his sleeve, revealing a wicked smile.

"Opera? Xiao Gu has never heard of opera before. In the village, they never let Xiao Gu participate!"

Hua Qiangu thought about what had happened in the village before and felt somewhat depressed.

"From now on, you can listen to opera however you want!" Lin Yaoxie said domineeringly, glancing at her.

Hua Qiangu felt that she had really changed a lot since she met the demon brother. She had become braver and was no longer timid. As long as the demon brother was there, she was full of strength!

And all of this was brought to her by her evil brother.

"You're so kind, Brother Demon!"

Lin Yaoxie led Xiao Gu through the towering palaces and arrived at the entrance of the council hall. Luo Shiyi was pacing around, wondering whether he should go and invite them again. Seeing the two of them, he breathed a sigh of relief.

"Lin Yaoxie and Hua Qiangu have arrived!"

"Loh!" he shouted, and at the same time the doors to the council chamber suddenly opened.

Upon seeing the two of them arrive, Ni Mantian quickly whispered a few words in the ear of the Penglai Sect Leader before stepping forward to lead them to their seats.

Bai Zihua nodded slightly to Lin Yaoxie, without introducing him specifically. After all, he was the head of Changliu Sect, and his status and position did not warrant paying respects to an unknown nobody first.

"Young Master Lin!" But unexpectedly, the voice of the Penglai Sect Leader rang out like a booming bell.

Mo Yan sneered. It seemed that Ni Mantian had told Ni Wanzhang a lot about Lin Yaoxie. They were trying to recruit him first.

Lin Yaoxie simply cupped his hands in a gesture of respect without saying a word. Instead, he instructed the Changliu disciples to serve Hua Qiangu some tea.

Since most of those present did not know Lin Yaoxie, this little episode was quickly replaced by arguments.

The divine artifacts have been guarded by various sects for many years and have long been regarded as family heirlooms. Now, because of the Seven Killings, they want to take them back? What kind of logic is that!

"Exactly! Besides, it's not safe to keep all the artifacts in one place!"

"Please reconsider, Your Majesty."

(Zhao Deqian) Bai Zihua and Mo Yan exchanged a glance. With the major sects so disunited, how could they possibly discuss the protection of the divine artifact?

"Ahem," Lin Yaoxie coughed, "I am not very talented, but I agree with Immortal Bai Zihua's suggestion to collect the Ten Divine Artifacts."

"Who are you?"

"You little brat!"

There's no room for negotiation here!

"If Young Master Lin agrees, then Penglai supports you!" Ni Mantian smiled upon hearing her father's words.

Lin Yaoxie casually tossed something out, which spun in the center of the hall.

"This is... the Heaven-Binding Chain?" Bai Zihua said. He hadn't misjudged it. It seemed that Lin Yaoxie had agreed to go to Changliu because he was after the Ten Directions Divine Artifacts!

"You audacious brat, hand over the Heaven-Binding Chain at once!" Mo Yan said.

"That can't be right. This is a divine artifact of Mount Shu. Why should it be returned to Changliu?" several sect leaders said unwillingly.

Chapter Seven: Who Decides?

Lin Yaoxie watched as the righteous sects argued heatedly over a divine artifact, and he felt a little ashamed for them.

"Immortal Bai Zihua, what do you think we should do?" This thorny issue was still pushed onto Bai Zihua. "Who should I hand this broken chain over to?"

Hua Qiangu was drinking tea on the side. She didn't know what had happened, but as long as her demon brother was there, she wasn't afraid!

Ni Mantian had been calmed down by Lin Yaoxie. She was clearly with them yesterday. When exactly did Brother Yaoxie get the Heaven-Binding Chain?

Moreover, she found it increasingly difficult to understand what he intended to achieve by bringing this up now.

However, his attraction to her only grew stronger.

Bai Zihua and Sheng Xiaomo exchanged glances. Since this young man agreed with their opinion, why not go with the flow?

"Young Master Lin defeated Shan Chunqiu single-handedly," Bai Zihua glanced at the sect leaders, "He has the ability to protect the divine artifact." This one sentence directly confirmed the ownership of the Heaven-Binding Chain.

The Kunlun Sect Leader, with his fiery temper, couldn't stand such arrogance from an unknown nobody: "I don't think he can protect me!"

Having said that, he pushed Lin Yaoxie with a palm.

Lin Yaoxie shielded Hua Qiangu behind him with his backhand, then unleashed the 187 Flying Sword, directly breaking through the attack and striking the Kunlun Sect Leader's face with overwhelming force.

A single move was enough to shave off the Kunlun Sect Leader's hair.

"I'm telling you, at your age, don't keep brandishing swords and spears all the time, lest you break your back!" Lin Yaoxie said slowly.

"you!"
