"Zhang Ye has seen his senior brother." Zhang Ye did not dare to be slow and immediately paid his respects.

  "Are you Zhang Ye?" The true disciple narrowed his eyes, with a hint of Southern Ming's demeanor.

  "What is your Dharma name, Master?" Zhang Ye asked with his head lowered.

  "Shi Tianyun." He said softly.

  "Outer sect disciple Zhang Ye, pays respects to Senior Brother Tianyun."

  "Zhang Ye, do you know your crime?" Shi Tianyun said coldly.

  Zhang Yan jumped in fright and said: "What crime have I committed?"

  "You ventured out to gain experience, but instead of being content, you colluded with the demonic path and harmed the disciples of the immortal path. You killed people and stole their treasures. Now someone has come to our sect to demand justice, how do you explain yourself?" Shi Tianyun said coldly.

  Zhang Ye was taken aback, "Elder brother, please calm down. There are many misunderstandings here. Once we return to the mountain gate, Zhang Ye will personally explain the details to Master Tan Siqin, and justice will be served."

  "How dare you!" Shi Tianyun suddenly shouted, "A mere outer sect disciple like you, speaking of Master Tan Siqin at every turn, who do you think you are? Do you have the qualifications to look for Master Tan Siqin?"

  Zhang Ye thought for a moment, and it was also this reason. To say nothing of outer sect disciples, even inner sect disciples couldn't casually see Master Tan Siqin. But his own trials were arranged by Master Tan Siqin, the return date was also set by Master Tan Siqin, and he had been taught the key to the technique by Master Tan Siqin. So in theory, he should have a clear beginning and end with her.

  "Speak!" Shi Tianyun bellowed.

  Zhang Ye could only say: "Since that's the case, I will follow the rules and return to the mountain after clearing up at the Inner Gate Executive Court, waiting for the sect's decision."

  "This is about right." Shi Tianyun stretched out his hand and said, "As a disciple of Tai Xuan, you have caused trouble for the sect by killing Huang Jian, an inner door disciple of Donghai Fudi, and taking the Shenmu Wangding. These things will be judged later, now hand over the Wangding, I'll present it to the Zhang Xing elder for disposal."

  "Yes, Master."

  Zhang Ye took out the Shenmu Wang Ding from the Seven Treasures Gourd despite having a hundred unwilling thoughts in his heart.

  "Be careful, he has a murderous intention, it's not as simple as you think." Suddenly, the warning from the purple-clothed man rose up in his mind.

  Nowadays Zhang Ye, even if he wasn't battle-hardened, was no longer the naive young man he used to be. When reminded by Zǐ Yī, he didn't show any change in expression and slowly handed over the Divine Wooden King Tripod.

  "Huh? Shenmu Wangding actually has your aura, who refined it for you?" As soon as he touched the stone, Shi Tianyun felt something was off and looked at Zhang Ye sideways.

  Zhang Ye thought of Tan Siqin's words about the crime of Hua Bi, and pretended to be stupid and confused, saying, "I don't know what's going on either, please hand it over to the elder, the elder's magical powers are boundless, and he will naturally understand the whole story."

  "You still want to wait for the old man's explanation? Dream on!" Shi Tianyun changed his expression, "This is where you will be buried, die!"

  The notes of the dead word did not fall, but the divine wood tripod had already started spinning, and a four-sun flame burst out.

  "Not good!"

  Shi Tianyun couldn't believe that this little brat was so sinister and daring. As an outer door disciple, he actually quietly plotted against a true transmission disciple without making a sound, which was unthinkable.

  Sigh——

  Shi Tianyun was like a rocket flying in the air, dodging and weaving. The four yang fires were not to be underestimated, if the foundation repairer was hit by the flames, there would only be one dead end. Even Shi Tianyun, this true disciple, would definitely suffer greatly from his primordial energy in the short term.

  "You scoundrel who has eaten a dog's gall! How dare you lay hands on me!"

  The stone Tianyun flying in the air had a furious look on his face.

  "Don't try to deceive me, you've never had good intentions towards me, don't think I'm unaware. You're a wicked person who informs on others first." Zhang Ye was afraid that the Shenmu Wangding would be taken away, so he immediately recalled it into the gourd.

  "Alright, since you know already, I don't have anything to hide either. Lan Tianying's life or death is uncertain, and in the Tai Xuan Sect, you no longer have any backing. The people who want to make a move on you now are not just one or two, they all want to deal with you before you return to the mountain and become an inner sect disciple. Today, you're on a dead-end path, if you want to blame someone, go blame heaven for being unfair, why did it let you be just a lowly outer sect disciple."

  As they spoke, Shi Tianyun's hands gathered purple light and emitted a crackling sound.

  Sigh——

  The two clusters of light in his hands were like balls of lightning, flying and spinning in the air, as if a terrifying event was brewing.

  That ball of lightning took shape and had a spirit. The true energy was released to form, transform the spirit, and have a god, which is the characteristic of the "divided god" cultivation realm.

  Rumble...

  Heavy snow swirled, and a strange scene appeared. Under Shi Tianyun's magical power, thunder rumbled across the sky, two rotating balls of lightning grew larger and larger, amidst the crackling electric sounds, thin purple lights as fine as hair flowed everywhere.

  Zhang Ye didn't give up and suddenly flew backward in retreat.

  A lingering spiritual lightning ball chased in the upper air, a purple electric light broke out of its cocoon.

  At the same time, a water-blue flying sword rose from Zhang Ye's seven-treasured gourd, spinning in mid-air. The surrounding waters dispersed in waves.

  I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared I'm scared

  Purple lightning struck down, thunderbolt hit, the Three-Treasures Water Spirit Sword almost lost its divine spirit and fell back after losing its luster. Fortunately, the application of attributes was appropriate, and the waves of water domain guided the electric flash to wander in the air, eventually exhausting itself.

  "Sly little thief, I'd like to see how many tricks you have up your sleeve." Shi Tianyun's divine power was blocked, and he flew into a rage.

  The Water Spirit Sword was heavily injured and was recalled into the gourd to preserve its spiritual energy. Then, Zhang Ye turned around and ran away, shouting in a hoarse voice: "What happened to Master Lan Tianying?"

  "Suit yourself, die with a clear conscience." Shi Tianyun said while chasing after him, "I heard that something happened at the Kunlun Xianjing Zhenyao Tower, only Huo Tianlang Dashi returned, and even I don't know what's going on inside. This is an extremely sensitive matter, our sect prohibits anyone from discussing it."

  Zhang Ye fled while tears streamed down his face. Upon hearing that his senior sister was in trouble, he couldn't help but feel a pang of sorrow amidst the intense battle, his chest feeling stifled and his blood boiling with an irrepressible urge to rush to her aid.

  "In a short time, you've reached the foundation stage. If I don't kill you now, there will be trouble in the future. Today, I'll make your soul scatter!" In Stone Tianyun's voice, two clusters of light merged into a colossal hand that descended from the sky and grabbed towards Zhang Ye on the ground.

  Zhang Ye took a deep breath and his true energy surged to its limits, as if he was an arrow shooting forward.

  Sizzling...

  Among various strange sounds, the snow on the ground danced in the sky, and ice crystals scattered everywhere. Just these hitting Zhang Ye was like being pierced by ten thousand arrows.

  Zhang Ye didn't dare think about it, being caught by that purple light giant hand, what would happen.

  "Still want to run? Go die!" The second wave of purple giant hands came over.

  The purple-robed figure in the sea of knowledge finally opened her eyes, sensing an intense danger. However, after last time's activation of the mysterious and profound technique to block the Golden Heaven Wolf Slasher, her primordial spirit had almost completely dissipated. At this moment, her accumulated energy and Zhang Ye's binding were fundamentally unable to activate the divine ultimate technique.

  Just as he was about to be caught by the giant purple hand, Zhang Ye thought of Lan Tianying and suddenly felt a tickle in his throat, causing him to cough up a mouthful of blood.
