In Zhong Fei's eyes, Xia Yi was in the wrong when he led the elders to welcome them.
"You just want to resolve this grudge and protect Hu Lai." Zhong Fei sneered inside. "Do you really think you're the Province Lord and no one in Yue Province dares to speak against you?"
Although he said that, he still looked rather respectful and bowed to Xia Yi. "Zhong Family's Third Brother greets the Province Lord."
"Fellow Daoist Zhong Fei, please rise." Xia Yi smiled faintly. "Let's talk inside."
Seeing Xia Yi so polite, Zhong Fei became even more confident and his aura grew.
The group entered the shabby mountain peak. There were already disciples waiting and bowed to Zhong Fei.
Zhong Fei sneered and said, "I just arrived at the foot of the mountain and heard the cries of ghosts and wolves. I wonder why?"
"Cries of ghosts and wolves?" Xia Yi was startled and then smiled. "It's just a fight between disciples. Fellow Daoist, there's no need to make a fuss."
"Otherwise …"
Zhong Fei stopped and looked around at the stunned disciples with a solemn expression. He frowned and said, "The Body Sect is an extraordinary and noble place in my Yue Province. Our disciples will lead the Yue Province in the future. How can we be so lax?"
The elders frowned. Yin Ding wanted to retort, but Xia Yi shook his head and smiled.
The disciples were caught off guard. They were supposed to greet a senior expert, but why did they have to greet a clown? Which eye of yours saw us lax?
"Province Lord, you are the sect master of the Physique Sect. You control the rise and fall of the sect. Please think of the bigger picture and teach the disciples carefully!"
Then, Zhong Fei turned around and landed on Xia Yi's head. Everyone was furious.
Xia Yi also stopped smiling and said, "Fellow Daoist, you worry too much. Please."
"Xia Yi is indeed guilty. Hehe, this time, maybe Sky Mist will benefit greatly!"
Zhong Fei sneered inwardly and racked his brains to think of how to extort.
The group of important figures left coldly, and the disciples began to discuss with indignation.
"Who is this old man?!"
"Didn't you hear? His name is Zhong Fei. He really knows how to act!"
"How can the people of the Sky Mist Imperial Family be so arrogant? Whose seed is this?!"
"He must be here to help Zhong Huai vent his anger. I wonder if the sect master can help Senior Brother Hu Lai!"
Outside the meeting hall, Xie Tian and You Xiao Chan stood quietly, hand in hand.
"Nonsense, this king wants you to kneel and deliver You Xiao Chan to me. This king will skin you alive!"
Zhong Huai roared in resentment as he watched one cuckold after another being put on his head. The elder beside him frowned and shouted, "Silence! We are all from the same sect, how can you do this?!"
"We are from the same sect." Zhong Fei walked up the stairs and sneered. "If we were really from the same sect, how could His Highness Prince Jin of the imperial family be deposed?"
"Third Patriarch!" Zhong Huai saw Zhong Fei and ran over emotionally. He hugged Zhong Fei's thigh and cried, "You have to avenge Huai 'er!"
Zhong Fei looked coldly at Xie Tian and enunciated each word clearly. "Huai 'er, don't worry. Since the Old Man is here, I will definitely let you hug a beauty and kill your enemies. No one will dare to bully a member of the imperial family!"
These threatening words were unable to elicit any reaction from Xie Tian. He continued to lower his head, using a gentle smile to comfort the frightened You Xiao Chan.
"Preposterous!"
Zhong Fei was enraged, but when he thought about how the other party was just a Physique Faction disciple, he would only be humiliating himself if he said anything more. He turned to Xia Yi and said indifferently, "Prefecture Lord, my Zhong family will seek justice for this matter!"
Xia Yi's smile did not diminish as he nodded. "Let's talk inside. Hu Lai, You Xiao Chan, Zhong Huai, you all come in as well."
"Hmph!" Zhong Huai snorted and followed Zhong Fei into the hall.
Xie Tian heard this and bowed. "Yes."
All the elders looked at each other and nodded slightly.
Xia Yi sat down and scanned the hall. Finally, he looked at Zhong Fei and changed his smile. He went straight to the point. "Fellow Daoist Zhong Fei came at the right time. I have something to tell your Zhong family."
Zhong Fei was startled. "Is it about Zhong Huai's cultivation being crippled?"
"No."
"Oh!" Zhong Fei was puzzled. "Please tell me, Prefecture Lord."
Xia Yi pointed at Zhong Huai. "Zhong Huai has not been tempered. His temperament is terrible, and his character is even worse. He is full of the bad habits of the imperial family. Therefore, I want to remove Zhong Huai's kingship and demote him to a commoner."
Zhong Fei was stunned for half an incense stick's time before he smiled and asked, "My Huai 'er was crippled, but Prefecture Lord did not care. Now, you want to punish him heavily. Prefecture Lord, are you joking with Third Brother?"
"Fellow Daoist Zhong Fei, when have you ever seen me joke?"
Zhong Fei was stunned. He could not believe his ears.
He was the one who came to help Zhong Huai vent his anger. He was the one who was in the right, but he was still thinking about how to take advantage of the situation. Why did the situation take a turn for the worse when he entered the hall? Xia Yi did not mention Zhong Huai's crippling and instead looked like he wanted to settle scores?
"May I ask Prefecture Lord, what kind of mistake did Zhong Huai make?" Zhong Fei suppressed his anger and asked.
Xia Yi frowned slightly. "Zhong Huai's mistake has already been mentioned."
"Haha." Zhong Fei laughed bitterly. "Prefecture Lord, you don't have to strip Zhong Huai of his throne just because of your vague words, right? Zhong Huai!"
"Patriarch, Huai 'er is here!" Zhong Huai did not dare to raise his head, afraid that Xia Yi would notice the hatred in his eyes.
"What did you do in the Physique Sect to make the Prefecture Lord so angry?" Zhong Fei asked indifferently, his face expressionless.
"Patriarch, Huai 'er is innocent!"
Zhong Huai knelt on the ground and wailed. "Ever since I entered the Physique Sect, Huai 'er has been wholeheartedly cultivating and uniting the sect. I have never violated the sect's rules. I even exposed a scum who deceived the entire sect during the Great Ascension. Huai' er dares to swear to the heavens that I have never done anything wrong to the Physique Sect!"
"Prefecture Lord, is there any falsehood in Zhong Huai 'er's words?" Zhong Fei looked at Xia Yi. "If there is any falsehood, the Old Man will kill him on the spot!"
Xia Yi said expressionlessly, "No."
Zhong Fei smiled faintly. "Then may I ask Prefecture Lord, why did you strip Zhong Huai of his throne and demote him to a commoner?"
"Patriarch, Huai 'er knows!"
Seeing that Xia Yi was speechless, Zhong Huai jumped up agitatedly, pointing at Xie Tian and cursing.
"This mongrel is just a mortal, but he used some kind of method to climb to the top of the small peak and escort You Xiao Chan to the end of the inheritance path. He used this to deceive the entire sect and win the Sect Master's attention!
"As a follower, he did not distinguish between master and servant. He only wanted to curry favor with the powerful. When he saw that You Xiao Chan had fallen in love with me, he secretly used a vicious plan to cripple my energy core. He even wanted to use the Sect Master to hit me while I was down. It was all because of him!"
Zhong Fei looked at Xie Tian coldly and shouted, "Brat, how dare you do this!"
Xie Tian smiled and ignored Zhong Fei. Instead, he looked at Zhong Huai. "Don't make it sound so complicated. The reason is actually very simple. I don't like you."
Pfft!
In You Xiao Chan's eyes, Xie Tian had always concealed his strength and bided his time. She couldn't help but laugh at his domineering words, but her eyes were filled with deep affection.
"How dare you!" Zhong Fei suddenly stood up and shouted, "Crippling a fellow disciple's cultivation for no reason at all. How cruel! Today, this Old Man will act on behalf of the Prefecture Lord to eliminate a great scourge for the Body Sect!"
"Since when was it up to you to decide whether it was right or wrong?" asked Xia Yi coldly.
Zhong Fei glared at Xia Yi. "Prefecture Lord, what is the meaning of this?!"
Xia Yi indifferently said, "I've already said that Zhong Huai will be stripped of his position as King and demoted to a commoner."
"Haha, my Zhong family will never submit to such an absurd order!"
Zhong Fei's aura surged, and he laughed sinisterly. "An inherited disciple and an ordinary disciple. Some experts are really blind. Huai 'er, this Patriarch will take you away. My Zhong family will no longer stay in this place where there is no distinction between right and wrong!"
Zhong Huai looked at Xie Tian and smiled viciously before leaving with Zhong Fei.
Xia Yi looked at the calm Xie Tian and sighed inwardly. He had finally made up his mind.
"Order of the Prefecture Lord: The Skymist Dynasty's imperial family has committed a personal sin and has betrayed the lives of the province.
"Wait!"
Zhong Fei was scared out of his wits and hurriedly interrupted the order of the Prefecture Lord. He looked at Xia Yi in disbelief and asked, "Prefecture Lord, is it worth it for you to make such a big fuss just because of this?!"
Xia Yi indifferently said, "Choose one of the two. Your Zhong family will remove Zhong Huai's position as King, or I will remove your Zhong family's position as Emperor. Give me an answer within three breaths."
"Patriarch, save me, save me!" Zhong Huai looked as if he had been struck by lightning. His entire body went limp, and he knelt on the ground and begged crazily.
Zhong Fei's face alternated between green and white. He looked deeply at Xie Tian and resisted the urge to vomit blood. With extreme reluctance, he bowed to Xia Yi and said, "Within seven days, King Jin's edict to remove Zhong Huai's position will be presented to the Prefecture Lord!"
Xia Yi did not say anything and looked at Xie Tian.
"If you had not threatened Little Chan with the survival of the You family, we would not have fallen to this state."
As Xie Tian spoke, he walked into the hall and glanced at Zhong Fei. He said seriously, "You should be glad that this matter was resolved by the Sect Master before it happened."
"Ha!" Although Zhong Fei feared Xia Yi, he did not think highly of Xie Tian. He immediately laughed angrily and said, "As you said, if my Zhong family touches the You family, can it be destroyed?!"
"You can try." Xie Tian faced Zhong Fei, his eyes instantly turning blood-red. He said indifferently, "But at that time, there will be no one with the surname Zhong in the Yue Province!"
"You!"
Even someone as strong as Zhong Fei was shocked by Xie Tian's sudden display of killing intent. His heart raced, and his body leaned back slightly.
Although he did not believe that the Nirvana Realm ant in front of him had this ability, fear grew in his heart. It was as if the ant's words would come true one day!
"This child will definitely be a great enemy of my Zhong family!"
Thinking of this, Zhong Fei could not help but reveal a trace of killing intent.
As soon as the killing intent appeared, Xie Tian grinned and quickly retreated. At the same time, the upper echelons of the Body Sect in the hall all stood up, and hundreds of killing intents were directed at Zhong Fei!
Zhong Fei vomited blood and staggered back. His eyes were filled with fear when he looked at Xia Yi!
He had vomited blood because Xia Yi had attacked!
"For an ant, Xia Yi attacked me without mercy!"
"You're old, and your memory is probably not good." Xia Yi's eyes did not hide his killing intent. "If you still can't remember, I don't mind giving you another lesson!"
"Third Brother Zhong was reckless. Please forgive me, Prefecture Lord!"
Zhong Fei admitted his mistake while trembling. He glanced at Xie Tian in shock and even forgot to take Zhong Huai with him. He flew out of the hall in panic and down the peak.
He had never imagined that not only did he not gain any advantage in this trip to the Body Sect, but he had also almost caused the entire Sky Mist imperial family to be buried!
And all of this was because of Xie Tian!
"Patriarch!"
Zhong Huai roared in despair. He could not believe that Xia Yi had not hesitated to remove the Zhong family's throne for Xie Tian and had even resolutely injured the Third Patriarch!
"It's over! Everything is over! I have nothing left!"
At this moment, Zhong Huai was like a stray dog. He retreated to the side on all fours, trembling. He did not even dare to look at Xie Tian. His heart was filled with monstrous fear and regret.
