"How is this possible…"
Luo Yuxi frowned, her mind racing with thoughts.
"But, but you did issue the order to assassinate Brother Ye Chen, and even offered a prefecture-level divine ability as a reward."
She wanted to continue, but suddenly noticed that Su Ming's voice from the high seat turned cold.
This Demon Emperor's Son looked down at her, his expression stern, silent, and imposing.
"Luo Yuxi, you are too presumptuous!"
"When this Emperor's Son acts, why should I explain to your Daozhi Mountain? What is your Daozhi Mountain anyway?"
"You keep questioning me. I explained a little only because I was in a good mood, but that doesn't mean you can keep nagging in front of me."
Su Ming's face was icy, and the aura around him suddenly intensified.
Instantly, the atmosphere in the palace surged, faint thunder rumbled, and the power of the Yellow Spring spread out like wild fire.
Luo Yuxi's expression changed, feeling as if she were standing in the Yellow Spring itself.
Countless ghostly shadows reached out to grab her, as if trying to drag her into the depths of the underworld.
She trembled violently, her mind buzzing.
Luo Yuxi felt a wave of shame.
Su Ming was right…
What right did she have to keep questioning him endlessly like this?
Frankly speaking, if what Qin Yingluo said was true, if Brother Ye Chen had offended someone from Daozhi Mountain, let alone issuing a few insignificant assassination orders, even if an elder personally acted and killed him with a single finger, it would have been reasonable.
Defying those above is the greatest sin, especially since this involved repeatedly provoking the savior of their sect.
All of this… it was she who was wrong about it.
She had no more rights to question him.
"I'm… I'm sorry…"
Luo Yuxi's heart trembled slightly, and she apologized instinctively.
"Hmm... If there's nothing else, the people of Daozhi Mountain should leave now. Don't disturb this Emperor's Son's peaceful cultivation."
Su Ming coldly waved his hand, issuing an order for Daozhi Mountain to leave.
"Today's matter was my rudeness...."
Luo Yuxi felt a bit wronged, opened her mouth, but didn't dare ask more, only speaking softly.
She gave a slight bow and prepared to lead the others away.
"Miss Luo, if you have the chance, you should go see your brother yourself. I'm afraid Ye Chen's temperament is already on the verge of falling into the demonic path."
Qin Yingluo's voice came through.
"What do you mean? On the verge of falling into the demonic path?"
Luo Yuxi's brows furrowed. In the past, she would have refuted without hesitation.
How could Brother Ye Chen, so bright and upright, fall into the demonic path?
But now… she didn't refute.
Then, Luo Yuxi led the people of Daozhi Mountain and hurriedly left the palace, leaving the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
....
....
"Emperor's Son, they have left."
Master Yuhua, who had escorted them out, returned shortly after and reported respectfully.
"Hm."
Su Ming nodded upon hearing this.
[Ding! Luo Yuxi's trust in Ye Chen has wavered, reducing Ye Chen's luck value by 50 points.]
At that moment, a familiar system prompt sounded in his ear.
"Only fifty points, that's far from enough…"
Su Ming glanced at the panel. Ye Chen's luck value still had a full four hundred fifty points.
After all, they were siblings who grew up together. Words alone could hardly make her completely abandon Ye Chen.
"It seems I need to use harsher methods to make Luo Yuxi completely lose faith in Ye Chen in one fell swoop."
He pondered for a moment, a trace of mockery flashing in his eyes.
For this matter, Su Ming had already prepared a backup plan.
"At this moment, the Immortal Silkworm should come into play."
Since he had nurtured it for so long and found the key figure to affect Ye Chen's luck, Su Ming decided to wait no longer.
It was time to reap this wave of luck already.
Luo Yuxi left the Yuhua Immortal Sect.
On the Golden Mythical Beast.
"Fairy Luo, are you okay? What exactly happened back at the Immortal Sect?"
Elder Peng looked at the dazed Luo Yuxi, asking with concern.
After leaving the Immortal Sect, Luo Yuxi had been distracted the entire time.
Elder Peng was anxious inside.
This woman was the key figure carefully nurtured by the Daozhi Mountain.
Born with divine spirit, her potential was limitless.
In the future, she could master order and become a key figure for the sect leader.
In the past, Luo Yuxi had never disappointed them, her resolve firm, always moving forward bravely.
But today, after being out of sight for just half an hour, how did she suddenly become like this?
"Elder Peng…"
Luo Yuxi spoke, giving a bitter smile, unsure how to respond.
"Did that scoundrel Su Ming do something to you? Damn that bastard!"
Elder Peng said in a deep voice.
"That arrogant brat! He dared to kill our Daozhi Mountain disciples. When we return, I will definitely report it to the sect leader!"
"Let the sect leader step in. The Infinite Demon Emperor must give an explanation!"
A fierce glint flashed in Elder Peng's eyes.
"Forget it Elder Peng, it's not his fault."
Luo Yuxi shook her head, her mind echoing with Su Ming's earlier words.
What right did their Daozhi Mountain have to meddle in others' affairs…
"Elder Peng, you take the other brothers and sisters back first. I need to stay in the Three Thousand Great Worlds for a while."
Luo Yuxi thought for a moment and said.
"Hm? Does Fairy Luo have other matters too?"
Elder Peng was puzzled.
"This is a personal matter Elder Peng. I want to see Brother Ye Chen with my own eyes…"
"I want to see if he has really changed."
Luo Yuxi said firmly.
She couldn't fully doubt her Big Brother Ye just because of some random Su Ming's words.
After all, Luo Yuxi had watched Ye Chen grow up.
His changes were so drastic that even she was confused.
Rather than letting it become a mystery in her heart, it was better to see it with her own eyes.
"Big Brother Ye.... Where are you?"
Luo Yuxi frowned.
…
The news of Daozhi Mountain disciples storming the Yuhua Immortal Sect quickly spread throughout the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
At the time, the Golden Mythical Beast had flown with overwhelming momentum, covering the sky, already drawing much attention.
Everyone had thought the clash between Daozhi Mountain and the Infinite Demon Palace would be a fierce battle.
But in the end, Daozhi Mountain's people didn't stay long at the Yuhua Immortal Sect before fleeing away in disgrace.
Some eyewitnesses roughly described the scene that day.
"Heh, the Daozhi Mountain people were so arrogant when the first arrived, riding the Golden Mythical Beast and shouting at the Yuhua Immortal Sect's gate…"
"Yeah… they even dared to curse the Emperor's Son directly, and what happened?"
"The sky split, and a terrifying finger swept through!"
"The Demon Emperor's Son acted remotely, instantly killing one person!"
"What kind of Daozhi Mountain? They were so scared no one dared to even make a sound in front of the Demon Emperor's Son."
A martial artist laughed loudly.
The surrounding crowd also burst into laughter.
"The Demon Emperor's Son is just too strong!"
"Yeah, with the Emperor's Son here, it's truly a blessing for our Three Thousand Great Worlds!"
"So domineering, so terrifying. Once the Emperor's Son grows, he'll likely claim a place in the Three Thousand Great Worlds!"
Everyone's faces glowed with pride.
Although Su Ming had caused trouble twice,
First destroying the Xuan Yin Dao Sect, then the Lei Family, making the people of the Three Thousand Great Worlds panic, but as Daozhi Mountain came aggressively and fled in embarrassment, that fear turned into reassurance.
The Demon Emperor's Son was so powerful, perfectly able to ensure the peace of the Three Thousand Great Worlds!
As for the Emperor's Son's dominance… that was just those families reaping what they sowed!
If they hadn't provoked this Demon Emperor's Son, how could they have faced such disaster of annihilation?
Such public opinion spread throughout the whole Three Thousand Great Worlds, and Su Ming gained quite a good reputation among countless ordinary cultivators.
This time, Daozhi Mountain came aggressively but fled in disgrace, becoming a topic of great interest for all the people of the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
Word of mouth spread, causing quite a stir in the Three Thousand Great Worlds.
However, Daozhi Mountain's foundation was immense, standing above the world, even rumored to have more than one emperor in their sect!
This time, suffering a loss at the hands of the Demon Emperor's Son in the Three Thousand Great Worlds, losing their face, how could they let it go so easily…
An unprecedented storm was brewing…
