Just as everyone was discussing, a reprimand was taking place in a palace on the continent where Dao Jingtian lived in the Western Branch Prefecture of the Sacred Alliance.
"Trash, not only did you lose our Dao Clan's supreme-grade Honorable Artifact, you were even scared off by a mere low-level Asura Battle Spirit in front of everyone."
"You've completely disgraced our Dao Clan. You've humiliated our Dao Clan in the eyes of the world."
The strongest person of the Dao Clan in the Sacred Alliance, one of the leaders of the Punishment Department, Dao Yang, was angrily reprimanding Dao Jingtian.
It turned out that Dao Yang had personally witnessed everything that had happened, but he had been hiding in the dark.
He, who had witnessed everything with his own eyes, was deeply enraged by Dao Jingtian's actions.
As a dignified mid-level Asura Battle Spirit, it was indeed a great humiliation to refuse the challenge of a low-level Asura Battle Spirit.
"Lord Dao Yang, my younger brother was killed by Xing Jue, and he took the Honorable Artifact that the clan gave me for himself. I'm more furious than anyone else, and I want to kill him."
"But that Punishment Execution is too strange. He was able to survive the Blood Demon's attack and easily defeat someone two levels higher than him. This is simply inconceivable."
"Now that things have come to this, I really suspect that Xing Jue has been hiding his true strength. His true strength is definitely not as simple as it seems on the surface."
"Moreover, he's targeting people of my Dao Clan. If I rashly accept his challenge, it'll be no different from seeking my own death."
Although Dao Jingtian's seniority was low, he was still a genius and had a certain amount of weight in the Dao Clan.
Thus, even when facing the esteemed elders of the clan, he still had some confidence and did not lower his voice too much.
"Even if he has a treasure that can hide his strength, he definitely can't hide his age. He's about the same age as you. As a member of the younger generation, how could he possibly have heaven-defying strength?" Dao Yang snorted in disdain.
"Lord Dao Yang, could it be that everything that happened before wasn't enough to prove everything? Xing Jue has fought with people of my Dao Clan many times, but has he ever lost? "
"His strength is unfathomable, but every time he fights with people of my Dao Clan, his strength increases. That in itself is abnormal."
"Although I can't be sure of his true strength, I can guarantee that Xing Jue's strength isn't as simple as it seems on the surface. At the very least, his true cultivation is not lower than mine.
"Otherwise, even if he used a supreme-grade Honorable Weapon, he wouldn't have been able to unleash such a terrifying attack," Dao Dao Jingtian reasoned.
This was indeed what he was thinking. Previously, he was still very disdainful of the execution. It could be said that he didn't take it seriously at all.
He had even started, and Dao Dao Place by thinking. he had Xing. before, King, he Dao Clan of Dao Dao Dao Clan, he had Sect, Dao Clan Yang Tian's King.
He had even started to fear Xing Jue from the bottom of his heart. He felt that Xing Jue was someone who possessed great strength, but pretended to be weak to harm the younger generation of his Dao Clan.
Most importantly, he suspected that Xing Jue had an extremely powerful backing. Otherwise, Xing Jue would not have dared to fight against the Dao Clan.
"Hmph, you're all trash. I told you not to provoke Xing Jue. Now that you've provoked him, you're cowardly. You've completely embarrassed yourselves."
"No matter what reason you have, it won't change the fact that you've brought shame to our Dao Clan."
"From today onwards, none of you are allowed to provoke Xing Jue. He will be dealt with by me and the elders of our clan."
"If anyone disobeys, even if you're a genius that the clan thinks highly of, I will still punish you according to the clan's rules." Dao Yang snorted coldly and left Dao Jingtian's residence.
"Xing Jue, who exactly are you? Why are you targeting a member of our Dao Clan?"
However, as Dao Yang left, an uneasy question popped up in his heart.
How could Dao Yang not know that Xing Jue was not a simple person? Ever since the Punishment Lord had reprimanded him and warned him, he had realized everything.
However, as a member of the Dao Clan, even if he knew that Xing Jue had a powerful background, he would not let it go just like that. After all, he wanted to redeem the dignity of the Dao Clan.
As Dao Jingtian was being reprimanded by Dao Yang, a completely different scene was taking place in a mansion on the Myriad Flower Mainland.
Li Yu Ran, Mr. Pumpkin, Bai He and his sister, Jiang Tian, and the others were all celebrating Xing Jue.
They were celebrating that he and Li Xiaohan had obtained Lord Dragon Phoenix's legacy. Not only did they obtain a legendary supreme quality Exalted Weapon, but they had also obtained a legendary Emperor-level Battle Skill.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, you and Little Sister Xiaohan were able to obtain Lord Dragon Phoenix's recognition. I'm really envious of you."
"Big Brother Xing Jue, you're too amazing. You actually scared that Dao Jingtian so much that he didn't dare to accept your challenge. I really admire you."
"Brother Xing Jue, now that everyone outside is saying that you're the number one disciple of the Western Branch Mansion, as your brother, we're also basking in your glory."
At the table, everyone was toasting and drinking. Their words were filled with praise and congratulations for Xing Jue. However, at that moment, Xing Jue was silent, and his face was getting paler.
Xing Jue's grip on his wine glass tightened. This was because the torment in his body was getting stronger and stronger. The Blood Mark Venomous Bug, which had been quiet all this while, was acting up again.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, are you alright?"
At that moment, Mr. Pumpkin, who was sitting beside Xing Jue, was the first to sense that something was wrong.
Bang!
"Ah!"
As soon as Mr. Pumpkin finished speaking, the wine glass in Xing Jue's hand was crushed into pieces. A powerful force was released, and everyone was sent flying.
At that moment, Xing Jue could no longer endure the pain coming from the depths of his body. He started to scream loudly, as if he had gone crazy.
At the same time, Xing Jue's body had already gone through a huge change. His blood and energy were flowing endlessly into his soul source, and so was his body.
His body started to shrivel up, as if all his energy was being absorbed by something else. His originally handsome face suddenly became horrifying.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~ Big Brother Xing Jue, what's wrong?" Such a change shocked the inexperienced Bai Lu.
"Junior Brother Xing Jue, what's wrong?" At the same time, Li Yu Ran, Bai He, and Jiang Tian were also extremely nervous.
"Ah ~ ~ ~ ~"
However, at that moment, Xing Jue was suffering from the torture of the Blood Talisman Venomous Bugs. The pain was spreading to every part of his body, and his consciousness was already blurred. He could not hear the questions of the crowd.
At that moment, everyone was panicking. Xing Jue was hugging his head and screaming as if he had gone crazy, but the crowd was powerless to stop him.
They knew that Xing Jue was suffering from great pain, but they were powerless to do anything.
Buzz!
At that moment, Mr. Pumpkin waved his sleeves, and a layer of barrier covered the surface of Xing Jue's body.
The barrier seemed to be formed from ice and frost. It actually froze the execution technique in an instant, sealing his struggling movements.
"Wait for me here. I am going to send Junior Brother Xing Jue to the Punishment Lord for treatment."
After sealing Xing Jue with a tyrannical barrier, Mr. Pumpkin swept up Xing Jue, merged with the space, and left.
After Xing Jue was brought away by Mr. Pumpkin, the crowd was restless. The previous Xing Jue was too terrifying, and this change made them extremely uneasy.
When the sky turned completely dark, Xing Jue was brought back by Mr. Pumpkin. At that moment, Xing Jue was already awake, but his body was very weak.
Moreover, this time, Mr. Pumpkin also came with the Punishment Lord of the Western Branch Residence.
"Xing Jue, there is a terrifying thing in your body. With my strength, I am unable to take it out, and I am even unable to subdue it. Can you tell me how exactly that thing entered your body?" The Punishment Lord asked with a serious expression.
At that moment, Xing Jue was a little hesitant. However, after hesitating for a moment, he still said what happened.
Of course, he only said that the Blood Talisman Venomous Bugs were introduced into his body by the Blood Demon, but he did not mention anything about the Blood Sister.
"It's actually the Blood Demon. He is truly a deranged fellow."
After knowing everything, the Punishment Lord, Mr. Pumpkin, and Li Yu Ran all revealed extremely furious expressions.
As they did not know the truth, they all felt that the Blood Demon was purely using Xing Jue's body as a tool to rear the Blood Talisman Poisonous Insects.
When they thought about how a disciple that they thought highly of was being used by the Blood Demon as a tool to rear the Blood Talisman Poisonous Insects, and could die at any moment, they were naturally extremely furious.
"Xing Jue, although the Blood Talisman Poisonous Insects are powerful, it is not impossible to deal with them," the Punishment Lord said after a moment of silence.
"What is it? Lord, please tell me directly, "Xing Jue said calmly.
"In the deepest part of the Western Branch Residence's Heaven's Cave, there is a strange space. There is a strange power stored there, Yin Feng."
"Yin Feng?" Hearing this unfamiliar term, Xing Jue was startled.
"Xing Jue, that Yin Feng is a Natural Oddity that can seal anything in this world. Although I cannot be certain, it might be able to temporarily seal the Blood Talisman Poisonous Insects in your body," the Punishment Lord explained.
"But, Lord Punishment, only high-ranking disciples are allowed to enter the Heaven's Cave. With Junior Xing Jue's current condition, he is unable to participate in the high-ranking disciple test. This …" Li Yu Ran said worriedly.
"It's alright. I have already asked the Deputy Mansion Master. That stubborn old man has already made an exception and allowed Xing Jue to enter the Heaven's Cave.
"However, there is an enormous pressure in the deepest part of the Heaven's Cave. The stronger one is, the greater the pressure. With my current strength, it is impossible for me to enter.
"Therefore, you and Mr. Pumpkin will be responsible for sealing the Blood Talisman Poisonous Insects in Xing Jue's body," the Punishment Lord said to Li Yu Ran and Mr. No Wonder with a smile.
"This disciple understands."
Li Yu Ran and Mr. Pumpkin, who had a close relationship with Xing Jue, naturally agreed without any hesitation.
After confirming the method to deal with the Blood Talisman Poisonous Insects, Li Yu Ran and the others were worried that the Blood Talisman Poisonous Insects would relapse again. Without any delay, they headed for the so-called Heaven's Cave that very night.
However, at the same time that Li Yu Ran, Mr. Pumpkin and Xing Jue set off, another scene was taking place in the Western Branch Residence's Deputy Mansion Master's residence.
In a dazzling palace, the Deputy Mansion Master was sitting on the main seat. His aged face was brimming with a faint smile. However, no matter how one looked at it, it was extremely strange.
Below him was a person kneeling. It was the leader of the Punishment Department, Elder Dao Yang of the Dao Clan.
