Boom...

The surrounding barrier was completely shattered, and Xiu Xiu's cultivation at the early stage of the Holy Emperor realm was released directly, showing that Long Wuxian was clearly no match for her.

But in order to suppress the dark shadow just now, Xiu Xiu had consumed a lot of chi. Now, although her attacks were still strong, the slow speed made it impossible for her to inflict any damage on Long Wuxian, only tearing the robes on Long Wuxian's body.

The Nine Jade Dragon Formula was indeed powerful. After Long Wuxian displayed it, he appeared like a giant dragon, always able to cleverly dodge Xiu Xiu's attacks and occasionally counterattack with the God-Sealing Bead.

At this moment, Xiu Xiu was still shouting in anger, almost spitting out flames from her eyes. For her, it was truly embarrassing to be unable to defeat an outer disciple at the late Emperor realm as a senior elder with her cultivation. It was a mockery.

What surprised Xiu Xiu even more was that Long Wuxian released four different attributes of chi, making it difficult for her to pinpoint Long Wuxian's weaknesses.

Especially, his footwork baffled Xiu Xiu even more.

This situation was observed by everyone, shocking countless onlookers, including the elders of the Elderly Courtyard and even the Elder of the Wind God who were horrified to the extreme.

"That guy's footwork seems somewhat peculiar. I feel like I've seen it before but it's also unfamiliar."

"Yes, I feel the same. It's like... Don't think I'm speaking nonsense, but Long Wuxian's footwork seems similar to the Saint Dragon Hall's unique skill—the Nine Jade Dragon Formula!"

"Indeed, the footwork of the wandering dragon in the Nine Jade Dragon Formula is exactly like this. As far as I know, only the disciples of the Saint Dragon Hall's main sect can learn it. The disciples admitted to the Saint Dragon Hall shouldn't be aware of it!"

"Exactly, if this kid is really from the Saint Dragon Hall, with their temperament, it's probably disastrous for the billions of people in the Southern Domain."

"Let it be! Regardless of how extraordinary his talent is, such an arrogant and crazy disciple is not needed in our One Qi Sect. If the fate of the sect is entrusted to such a person, how can it end well? Besides, haven't you heard of the reputation of the Saint Dragon Hall? That Saint Dragon Hall..."

Just as the Elder Fatso was about to speak ill of the Saint Dragon Hall, everyone hurriedly covered his mouth.

"Elder Fatso, watch your words! Ah, the power of the Saint Dragon Hall extends throughout the Immortal Realm. We can't afford to offend them."

Another elder shook his head and sighed.

However, Long Wuxian truly shocked the elders of the Elder Yard, showing that among these elders, some were quite admiring of Long Wuxian.

There were still clear-minded individuals, as Tangchi like they envisioned, the future situation in the Southern Domain was tense, with a Yu Tianlong looming as an unbeatable opponent. So, if letting this monster kill Yu Tianlong would be the right choice for the One Qi Sect.

They didn't care about Xiu Xiu's or Xiu Er's life and death, nor did they care about what wrongs Long Wuxian committed today.

Compared to the fate of the sect, the life and death of Xiu Xiu's rowdy kids were not worth mentioning.

To some elders, as long as Long Wuxian was willing to serve the sect, there was value in recruiting him. By then, maybe even the Saint Dragon Hall would protect the One Qi Sect, making it just a matter of time before the merger of the other three major sects under the One Qi Sect.

When it came to the importance of the sect, ten thousand Xiu Xius and Xiu Ers were no match for one Long Wuxian, that was beyond doubt, even for the elders who were determined to get rid of Long Wuxian.

Moreover, the One Qi Sect now only had North Wind Snow as their support.

But North Wind Snow was just one person after all!

Should any unexpected event occur... Alas, the days of the One Qi Sect would probably be difficult!

"Long Wuxian, don't you dare run away. Face me in a fair fight!"

Xiu Xiu was infuriated, her steps and attacks were in disarray, and her offensive was no longer as fierce as before.

Mental state was quite important for a cultivator.

But from the current battle, it was clear that in comparison to Long Wuxian, Xiu Xiu's mental state was simply not on the same level.

Long Wuxian paid no attention to Xiu Xiu, continuing to exhibit the Wandering Dragon Step.

At present, Xiu Xiu posed no threat to him, he even planned to directly kill Xiu Xiu with his Dragon Emperor True Body. However...

Only then did Long Wuxian realize that he had consumed most of his power earlier by treating Feiyue, and then intimidating those disciples had used up some more... Clearly not enough to use the True Body!

If the True Body were to appear, it would at least allow him to temporarily surge to the later stage of the Holy Emperor realm. At that time, even if it were only for three minutes, Long Wuxian could easily use the Wandering Dragon Step to escape from the Southern Domain of the Immortal Realm to other places.

In this way, Long Wuxian's trump card could not be relied upon.

Seeing this, the elders of the Elder Yard could not help shaking their heads. If the fight continued, they might even suspect that Xiu Xiu had exhausted herself and would be easily slain by Long Wuxian in the end.

"Stop all of you!!!"

A loud shout echoed, spoken by Bai Kui, who had just arrived.

Despite this loud shout, Xiu Xiu still refused to stop her actions, viciously glaring at Long Wuxian, who still had a gentle smile on his face, hated to the core.

"Insolent! Xiu Xiu, can't you even listen to this elder's words?" Bai Kui exclaimed in anger.

However, despite being slightly stronger than Xiu Xiu, Bai Kui failed to deter Xiu Xiu's murderous intent. On the contrary, Xiu Xiu's killing intent grew stronger.

"You wretched girl, even though you've just been promoted to a senior elder, the gap between your status and mine is vast. Do I need to remind you again?"

Being so ignored by Xiu Xiu, Bai Kui became even more enraged.

Sensing that these people didn't take him seriously, greatly perturbed him—a respected elder, wasn't it embarrassing?

On the other hand, with his strength, Bai Kui couldn't kill Long Wuxian personally. This fact left him extremely frustrated and aggrieved, particularly because he failed to personally kill Long Wuxian, even after the great havoc caused by him.

"Fine! Today I'll spare you, but let me tell you, his life is mine!!!"

But Long Wuxian completely ignored Xiu Xiu's rage, his expression indifferent, as if nothing had happened.

He didn't care at all. If he caused trouble, so be it. Why should he apologize?

Thus, the atmosphere tensed up once more. At least ten elders of the Elder Yard descended from the sky onto the square, indicating that it was undoubtedly a major event for the One Qi Sect!

In the sect, the Elders' Courtyard was even more respected and powerful than the Sect Master, held in high regard.

For the One Qi Sect, having a senior elder at the Holy Emperor realm visit on ordinary days was already considered good enough. It was rare to have ten elders appear all at once like today.

Among these elders, the highest cultivation was at the later stage of the Holy Emperor realm, and the lowest was at the early stage. They were all alerted by the incident that had occurred at the One Qi Sect today, requiring their intervention.

Xiu Xiu strode up to the elders, bowing deeply before a few of them, "Long Wuxian has no respect for the law, is lawless, harms fellow sect members, and, by cruel means, killed my brother. He completely disregards the sect's rules. Please, elders, take charge for me, kill Long Wuxian, and avenge my brother!"

Following Xiu Xiu's words, Bai Kui turned to the elder next to him, who was at the later stage of the Holy Emperor realm, and said, "Wait a moment, although Xiu Xiu has a point, the matter is not yet clear. Let's handle it according to the sect's rules."

The leading elder did not say much either, just slowly took out a small book from his robes.

After flipping through it leisurely, he said, "Long Wuxian, by killing fellow sect members and being lawless, this elder, on behalf of the Elder's Courtyard, now sentences you to death and commands you to commit suicide."

The elder's voice was low, condemning Long Wuxian to death with just a sentence.

Heh, commit suicide?

He spoke calmly, his eyes filled with killing intent.

"Wait a minute, isn't executing him directly too harsh? Shouldn't we discuss this further? Long Wuxian is the sect master's designated disciple, isn't that inappropriate?" Another elder at the mid-stage of the Holy Emperor realm hurriedly spoke up. Although Long Wuxian had caused a great disaster today, it was still too hasty to condemn him, at least until the reasons were fully understood.

There were no enemies without reasons, Long Wuxian's killing of Xiu Er definitely had a reason behind it.

"Dear brother, it's a fact that Long Wuxian killed Xiu Er, and blood demands blood. Perhaps there is no room for negotiation. This degenerate, even if his talent is outstanding, is ultimately a scourge on our One Qi Sect. It's a good thing to get rid of him today."

The lead elder spoke.

"That's enough. Proceed with the execution."

The lead elder waved his hand, signaling others not to speak. He appeared resolute, determined to have Long Wuxian killed.

"Hehe... hahaha, Old fella, who do you think you are? In the eyes of others, you are nothing but a dog relying on others. And you want to execute me, Long Wuxian? Let me tell you, you're not worthy!!"

"You... How dare you speak..."

"Ha! Just with your words today, aren't you the real calamity of this One Qi Sect? Old thief, aren't you too full of yourself?"

Long Wuxian burst into laughter, mocking the lead elder's belly without any reservations.

As these words were uttered, the whole place erupted, countless shocked gazes fixed on Long Wuxian.

Did he just call him 'nothing'? My goodness, this guy's got some nerve!

How could someone openly insult the lead elder in front of so many people? This required immense courage!

Just with this one statement, the lead elder could have Long Wuxian killed!

As for the lead elder, Long Wuxian's words left him stunned, even doubting if he had misheard.

Do you know who he is? A venerable elder of the One Qi Sect! A supreme expert at the later stage of the Holy Emperor realm!

Yet, now an outer disciple dared to insult him as nothing.

This brat...

A surge of anger erupted from within him. The fat on the lead elder's belly started to tremble, clearly showing he was truly furious!

"You insolent brat, by daring to insult this elder, just this alone is enough for you to be killed a thousand times over! Fine, since you won't end yourself, I will personally take action and blast you to pieces!!!"
