"Hahaha, who am I?"
"Don't tell me you don't recognize me, Nanguo Xianshen?"
"What? He's Nanguo Xianshen? "
Mr. Pumpkin's words caused everyone present to become tongue-tied and dumbfounded. It was as though they had received a huge blow, causing them to freeze in place.
After being stunned for a moment, all of them finally reacted and turned their gazes to the Palace Master, who was wearing a conical bamboo hat on the high platform.
This was because there was practically no one in the Western Branch Mansion who did not know who Nanguo Xianshen was.
"I see."
Xing Jue, who was standing behind Mr. Pumpkin, looked at the old man wearing the Bamboo Hat on the high platform. The corners of his mouth curled up into a faint smile.
This was because a mystery had been quietly solved in Xing Jue's heart. He was the first to understand an unknown truth.
"What did you say? You're Nanguo Xianshen? Haha … What a joke. This is too funny. "
However, at this moment, the Vice Mansion Master actually laughed loudly and said in an extremely mocking manner.
"If you're Nanguo Xianshen, then who is the Mansion Master on the high platform right now?"
As it turned out, Nanguo Xianshen was the Mansion Master of the Western Branch Mansion. That was why everyone was so shocked when Mr. Pumpkin said he was Nanguo Xianshen.
"Haha, Vice Mansion Master, I think you've mistaken me for someone else."
However, as soon as the Vice Mansion Master finished speaking, the Mansion Master on the high platform slowly stood up.
When he took off the Bamboo Hat on his head and revealed his true appearance, everyone present was shocked.
This was because many of the people present recognized the face hidden under the Bamboo Hat. It was actually Elder Li, who was ordered by the Punishment Lord to protect Xing Jue.
"How could it be you?"
When he saw the smiling Elder Li, the Vice Mansion Master looked as though he had been struck by lightning. An extremely shocked expression appeared on his face.
In fact, it was not only him. At this moment, everyone present was confused and extremely confused.
"This subordinate is only following the Mansion Master's orders. Now, this subordinate's mission has been completed." Elder Li said with a faint smile. Then, he turned his respectful gaze to Mr. Pumpkin in front of Xing Jue.
Buzz!
Just as Elder Li cast his gaze over, Mr. Pumpkin's figure began to change. A moment later, it turned into the figure of another old man.
He had a white beard and deep eyes. Not to mention his strength, just his appearance alone was enough to tell that he was not an ordinary person.
"This subordinate pays respect to the Mansion Master!"
After Mr. Pumpkin revealed his true appearance, the Punishment Lord and Elder Lee were the first to kneel on the ground.
"Disciple pays respect to the Manor Head!"
At the same time, the confused disciples also came to a sudden realization, and they all knelt down in mid-air before kowtowing to Nan Guo.
Because they finally understood one thing, Mr. Pumpkin was actually Nanguo Xianshen, the true master of the Western Residence.
"This … Mansion Lord, why … why did you …"
At this moment, the most embarrassed person was none other than the Vice Mansion Lord. His face was red to the ears, and his body was trembling slightly.
If one were to ask who the Vice Manor Head feared the most in the Western Branch Manor, the answer would naturally be the true Manor Head of the Western Branch Manor, Nan Guo Xianshen.
However, he did not expect that the Manor Head, who had been wandering outside for many years, had never left, and had been hiding in the Western Branch Manor all this time, right in front of him.
Now that he had learned the truth, he was naturally filled with lingering fear.
This was because he already knew why Dao Yang had failed. Under the personal protection of the Manor Head, not to mention Dao Yang, even he would definitely fail if he tried.
Buzz.
At this moment, Nan Guo Xianshen waved his sleeve, and a figure flew out from his sleeve. In the end, it took the form of a human, and was bound in mid-air.
When they saw that person, not only the people of the Dao Clan and the Vice Mansion Lord, but even many disciples were shocked.
This was because the person with a pale face, as if he had suffered great torture, was the captain-level expert of the Punishment Division, Dao Yang.
"Lord Vice Mansion Lord, save me, quick!"
When Dao Yang saw the Vice Mansion Lord, it was as if he had seen a life-saving straw, and he began to cry out hysterically.
At this moment, the Vice Mansion Lord, who knew that the matter had been exposed, frowned deeply. This was because he knew that a great disaster was bound to befall him today.
"As the Vice Mansion Lord of my Western Branch Manor, how dare you collude with the Dao Clan and harm our disciples. Do you know your crime?" Nan Guo Xianshen said with a burning gaze.
"Lord Mansion Lord, this subordinate was muddle-headed for a moment, which was why I was tempted by the Dao Clan."
"Considering that I have served the Sacred Alliance for many years, please spare my life. This subordinate will definitely make up for my mistake, and will never disappoint you again."
The Vice Mansion Lord suddenly knelt on the ground and begged Nan Guo Xianshen in front of the countless disciples.
"Alright, considering that you are only an accomplice, I will spare your life."
"However, even if you are spared from death, you cannot escape punishment."
"Punishment, throw him into the Ice Prison of Hell, and let him suffer for a thousand years before dealing with him." Nan Guo Xianshen said loudly. At the same time, he had bound the Vice Mansion Lord's body, making it impossible for him to escape.
"Lord Mansion Lord, thank you for your mercy!"
In reality, the Vice Mansion Lord had no intention of escaping at all, because he knew that he had no chance of escaping before Nan Guo Xianshen.
Not to mention that Nanguo Xianshen had only sent him into the Ice Prison of Hell to feel the bone piercing pain of the ice, and he didn't execute him on the spot, causing his cultivation of a few thousand years to be destroyed in a single moment. This was already the greatest kindness to him.
Under the confused and shocked gazes of the countless disciples, the Punishment Lord brought the Vice Mansion Lord away. However, this matter did not end there.
Everyone's gaze was fixated on Nanguo Xianshen, the true ruler of the Western Branch Prefecture, in the center of the field.
"Dao Yang, as the Captain of the Punishment Army of my Sacred Alliance, you harbored a grudge against your fellow disciples, and even tried to harm Xing Jue."
"This kind of behavior deserves to be executed!"
Nan Guo Xianshen's voice resounded like thunder. Before Dao Yang could react, his body had already exploded, turning into blood that filled the sky. He was executed by Nan Guo Xianshen.
"This …"
At this moment, the people who were the most terrified were the members of the Dao Clan. Dao Yang was the backbone of the Western Branch Manor. Now that this backbone was dead, they did not know what kind of predicament they would face.
"The members of the Dao Clan have formed cliques and bullied the members of other clans in the Sacred Alliance. They are the root of the Sacred Alliance."
"Today, I will eradicate this root of the problem. All the elders and disciples of the Dao Clan will be expelled from the Sacred Alliance. From now on, the members of the Dao Clan will not be allowed to take even half a step into the Sacred Alliance. Anyone who disobeys will be executed!"
Nanguo Xianshen's voice rang out once again. This time, as soon as he finished speaking, the leader and members of the Punishment Department started to move. They started to capture all the members of the Dao Clan present, intending to expel them from the Sacred Alliance.
Afterwards, Nan Guo Xianshen publicly announced that Xing Jue had successfully obtained a place in the Sacred Alliance.
As for the entanglement between the Dao Clan and Xing Jue, many disciples already knew about it. Now that the Dao Clan had fallen to such a state, it was naturally related to Xing Jue.
Because anyone with a brain could see that Xing Jue was highly valued by Nan Guo Xianshen. Based on this point alone, there would be no place for the Dao Clan in the Western Branch Manor.
The fight for a place in the Sacred Alliance had come to an end, but the entire Western Branch Manor was in an uproar.
The members of the Dao Clan, regardless of whether they were elders or disciples, were all expelled from the Western Branch Manor.
No one dared to resist. No matter how powerful the Dao Clan was in the western region of the Sacred Region, they did not dare to behave atrociously in the Sacred Alliance.
All the disciples were discussing this matter. Of course, at the same time, Nan Guo Xianshen and Xing Jue were also involved.
Just as everyone was discussing this matter, Xing Jue was called to the residence of the Lord Manor alone.
There were only two people in the vast hall. One was Xing Jue, and the other was Nan Guo Xianshen.
At that moment, Nan Guo Xianshen had changed into a set of extremely clean white robes. Such an attire, coupled with his extraordinary appearance, made him seem like a completely different person from the Mr. Pumpkin of the past.
"Hehe, kid, don't be shy. Just pretend that I'm still Mr. Pumpkin."
Nan Guo Xianshen chuckled when he saw Xing Jue's solemn appearance. This appearance was quite similar to the elegance he had when he was acting as Mr. Pumpkin.
"Lord Manor Lord, thank you for your help!"
However, to Nan Guo Xianshen's surprise, not only did Xing Jue not return to his usual appearance, but he also suddenly knelt on the ground and bowed to him.
"Hey, kid, what are you doing? Quickly get up for this old man."
Seeing this, Nan Guo Xianshen was instantly shocked. As his sleeves fluttered, a light breeze blew past, and he brought Xing Jue to the seat beside him.
"I believe Lord Manor Lord already knows of this disciple's true identity. You must also know of the grudge between my Spirit Eater Clan and the Dao Clan."
"Today, you've expelled the people of the Dao Clan from the Sacred Alliance, ruining their chance to train their descendants. I, Xing Jue, am extremely grateful," Xing Jue said with a face full of gratitude.
Xing Jue knew that someone as astute as Nan Guo Xianshen would definitely be aware of the actions of the Dao Clan.
If he wanted to expel the Dao Clan, he could accuse them of any crime, because he was the ruler of the Western Prefecture.
However, the Dao Clan was a large clan in the western part of the Sacred Region, and they did indeed have outstanding people. If the Dao Clan was expelled from the Sacred Alliance, it would be greatly detrimental to the future development of the Western Prefecture.
Now that Nan Guo Xianshen had done this, although he had helped Xing Jue, it was definitely a huge loss to the Western Prefecture.
"Hehe, I was wondering what it was. So it's this."
"Xing Jue, do you know how excited I was when I learned that the Spirit Eater Clan had reappeared in the Western Prefecture?"
"I've been waiting for this day for three thousand years. Now that you've finally appeared, what's the point of banning a mere Dao Clan?" Nan Guo Xianshen suddenly smiled in relief, and his gaze towards Xing Jue became even more heated.
"What? Three thousand years? "At that moment, Xing Jue couldn't help but be stunned. An indescribable feeling spread in his heart.
"Xing Jue, you should know that among the four sub-prefectures of the Sacred Alliance, the Western Prefecture is the most desolate."
"The disciples sent to the main prefecture every year are inferior to the other three prefectures."
"Although our reputation in the western part of the Sacred Region hasn't diminished, we're the laughingstock of countless factions in the entire Sacred Region," Nan Guo said with a sigh.
Xing Jue didn't say anything. He only nodded silently. He could feel the pressure on this old man's shoulders.
"But you definitely don't know how powerful the Western Prefecture was 10,000 years ago."
"Not to mention the Eastern Prefecture, which is currently the strongest, even if the other three prefectures were put together, they would still be worlds apart from the Western Prefecture."
"They can't compare to the Western Prefecture at all, because they can't compare at all."
"And all of this is because a disciple joined us 15,000 years ago. It was him who brought unprecedented glory to the Western Prefecture."
"That disciple was the ancestor of your Spirit Eater Clan, Hun Wuji!"
