"Supreme Elder, in fact, the matter is like this …" Zhao Yuande recounted the matter from beginning to end, and finally said, "I think that Wu Qiong is very suspicious. He clearly knows that I am Elder Zhong's disciple, but he still insisted on taking me down. He either has someone backing him up, or he has some unspeakable secret. Supreme Elder, you can start with him!"
"Oh! Is that so? " Grand Elder Qi glanced at Wu Qiong, who was not far away and was pale with fright. "Bring him here!"
Several inner disciples quickly brought Wu Qiong over. At this time, Wu Qiong's bones were almost all broken. He could not even lift a finger.
"Tell me! What's going on? "Grand Elder Qi glanced at Wu Qiong and asked faintly.
"Grand Elder, don't listen to this guy's nonsense. He didn't …" Wu Qiong tried his best to explain. If his secret was revealed, it would be terrible. His family might be directly slaughtered by the Ulti-mystery Sect. That was not what he wanted to see.
"Humph! I've already given you a chance! " Grand Elder Qi did not waste time with him. He directly pressed his palm on Wu Qiong's head. A powerful force suddenly suppressed Wu Qiong's sea of consciousness. A wisp of Divine Soul entered between Wu Qiong's eyebrows and began to search his memory.
Grand Elder Qi's face became more and more ugly. He actually got something that shocked him from Wu Qiong's mind.
Grand Elder Qi no longer wanted to stay here. He turned to everyone present and said, "We've made a joke of the Ulti-mystery Sect. This was caused by the greed of Wu Qiong and Chen Tianqiang of the Ulti-mystery Sect. I'll now announce the final judgment of the Law Enforcement Hall. Wu Qiong and Chen Tianqiang were directly killed without leaving a trace of Divine Soul! As the Law Enforcement Captain, Tianqi knowingly broke the law. His cultivation will be abolished and he will be expelled from the Ulti-mystery Sect! "
"Grand Elder Qi, isn't this a little too serious?" Elder Qian heard the judgment and suddenly felt a little sorry. Tianqi was his disciple who valued you!
"Humph! I haven't finished yet! Qian Zhonghai, as one of the three elders of the Law Enforcement Hall, was openly rude to a senior expert and brought unnecessary trouble to our Ulti-mystery Sect. As punishment, you will be locked in the Ulti-mystery Yin-Yang Cave for a month as a warning to others! " Grand Elder Qi coldly glanced at Elder Qian. "This blind thing. If he had recognized the Star-picking Hand from the beginning and handled this matter properly, would I still be able to lose face?"
"Uh …" When Elder Qian heard this punishment, he almost cried out!
The Mystic Extreme Yin Yang Cave was one of the most severe punishments in the Ulti-mystery Sect. With his cultivation, he would be severely injured even if he did not die in there for a month!
After dealing with this matter, Grand Elder Qi nodded slightly at Zhao Yuande. Then, he grabbed Wu Qiong and stepped into the void and disappeared.
Fifteen minutes later, an Immortal Emperor Patriarch and twelve Supreme Elders appeared in a large city 100,000 miles away from the Ulti-mystery Sect!
This big city was called Donglin City. It was located at the border between the Ulti-mystery Sect and the Tianyi Sect. The city lord was Wu Qiong's father, Wu Yue.
The Wu Clan was the leader of the three great clans in Donglin City. There were even several Immortal Monarchs in the clan!
"The Wu Clan has betrayed the Ulti-mystery Sect. Not a single member of the Wu Clan will be spared!" The Immortal Emperor Patriarch's voice was so cold that it seemed to come from the depths of hell.
The twelve figures instantly merged into the void.
Half a day later, the news that the Wu Clan had betrayed the Ulti-mystery Sect and had been annihilated by the Ulti-mystery Sect spread!
Of the Wu Clan's 128,391 members, not a single one was spared!
When Zhao Yuande heard this news, he couldn't help but feel a little shocked.
The Ulti-mystery Sect's domineering and iron-blooded side had finally revealed itself.
Even the Star-picking Hand was shocked when he heard this news. He did not expect that a casual move of his would help the Ulti-mystery Sect pull out such a big fish.
The entire Baihe Continent was abuzz with discussion. Many voices of doubt could be heard.
However, the Ulti-mystery Sect completely ignored them!
Zhao Yuande did not know what was going on in the outside world. Of course, these things had nothing to do with him.
He was currently standing in front of the outer court's dueling platform, preparing to participate in the outer court ranking competition.
There were a total of 148 World-level cultivators participating in the outer court ranking competition!
Today was the day of the first elimination round.
"Today is the first round of the ranking competition. There are a total of 148 of you. Today, half of you will be eliminated!" An old steward stood in the center of the dueling platform and said in a clear voice, "For the sake of fairness, the various outer court elders and overseers have selected the ten most likely outer court disciples to enter the top ten. This way, these ten won't have to face each other in the first and second elimination rounds."
"Below are the names of these ten people. Lu Tian, Li Jingyang, Ning Xin, Duanmu Feiyun, Jiang Jian, Sun Wen, Zhao Yuande, Fang Zhen, Gong Xiaodie, and Ding Lan!"
When Zhao Yuande heard the first name, he couldn't help but follow everyone's gaze. He immediately saw a familiar face.
This fellow was currently glaring at him, looking as though he wanted to eat him alive.
Zhao Yuande couldn't help but reveal a hint of a smile on his face. This fellow was quite lucky. After cursing out Gold Ingot, a Senior Elder, he was still alive and kicking.
It seemed as though Gold Ingot, Senior Elder Gold, was quite a broad-minded person. He was a decent elder!
All 148 of them were elite outer court disciples who had absolute confidence in their abilities. When they heard that their names weren't on the list, they couldn't help but frown slightly.
However, they committed all of these names to memory. When they encountered these people, they were definitely going to give them a good fight.
"Now, let us begin the first elimination round. The first match, Xue Renjie against Zhang Tao …"
Zhao Yuande didn't pay any attention to these people's battles. He didn't want to watch like the others. Instead, he focused on meditating on the Green Netherworld Sword Sutra.
Just now, Qing Mingzi had left after explaining the sword sutra to him. He wanted to take advantage of the fact that his battle hadn't started yet to begin and carefully ponder over every single word he had said.
After an unknown amount of time, the black longsword in his hand suddenly vibrated slightly. An invisible biting cold aura instantly swept through the surroundings.
At this moment, there were quite a few people standing around Zhao Yuande. He suddenly felt a gust of cold wind blow past him. An invisible and terrifying sharp energy swept across their skin. In the next moment, he felt his hair stand on end.
Everyone subconsciously retreated. Very quickly, an empty space with a radius of several hundred feet was created. Zhao Yuande was standing in the middle of the empty space with his eyes closed.
"What a strange aura. What is he trying to comprehend?"
"It seems like sword intent. No … he hasn't completely comprehended it yet. This feeling is so strange. It's as though there's an invisible blade cutting into his skin!"
"This person hasn't completely comprehended sword intent yet and he already gives off such a feeling. If he does, this person isn't simple!"
"What's not simple? You have to know that we have Jiang Jian, the Sword Demon who has just begun to comprehend sword force. There's also Sun Wen, the monstrous genius who has comprehended sword intent. In front of these two people, he's nothing!"
