Chapter 225

After speaking, Lu Guizhou's gaze turned to Cheng Yuan; the old eyes that were always smiling in daily life now held no temperature, only a coldness:

"Cheng Yuan, you led the Chiyan Sect members to trespass again, openly breaking into the Eastern Peak and attempting to commit violence; this is completely disregarding the sect rules."

Cheng Yuan's expression darkened slightly, and he forced a smile onto his fierce old face: "Elder Lu, there might be some misunderstanding in this..."

Before he could finish speaking, Lu Guizhou pointed his finger at Cheng Yuan's forehead from several yards away, a rare indifference and coldness appearing on his smiling face:

"Shut up! Whatever you have to say, say it slowly when you get to the Law Enforcement Hall!"

"Now, come here!"

As this finger fell, the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth seemed to be suddenly gripped by an invisible hand, and even the mountain breeze fell silent at this moment.

The layer of dark red Primordial fire qi around Cheng Yuan's body extinguished by several feet under this finger without a sound, as if a basin of ice water had been poured over his head.

"This old man's strength..."

A hidden shock flashed in the depths of Jiang Ye's eyes.

Just this one move alone showed that Lu Guizhou's strength was far greater than those two Primordial martial artists from the Qisha Sect back then.

No wonder the Upper Sect sent only him to provide support.

Moreover, this was the first time Jiang Ye had truly and clearly felt the sharpness belonging to the Law Enforcement Hall from this smiling old man.

"I..."

Cheng Yuan stood rooted to the spot, the expression on his old face changing again and again.

Finally, this madman of the Chiyan Sect swept a fierce look at the Tianqing Sect members.

That gaze lingered for a moment on the faces of Jiang Ye and Liu Qingyu.

He still braced himself and walked slowly to Lu Guizhou's side.

Those few steps were incredibly difficult, each one feeling as if he were crushing his own face with his soles.

"You come over too!"

Lu Guizhou swept his gaze over the remaining few Chiyan Sect martial artists.

Seeing that even Cheng Yuan had obediently gone over, they dared not delay for a moment and hurriedly lowered their heads as they walked forward, looking just like a group of quails targeted by an eagle, not even daring to breathe loudly.

Lu Guizhou glanced at Cheng Yuan and turned to look at Jiang Ye, his tone returning to that smiling and easygoing manner:

"How many resources the Chiyan Sect encroached upon on the Eastern Peak will be estimated after our Law Enforcement Hall interrogates them, and we will make them compensate you then!"

Hearing this, a flash of joy crossed the eyes of both Jiang Ye and Liu Qingyu.

Both cupped their hands and thanked him simultaneously: "Many thanks to Elder Lu for upholding justice!"

Lu Guizhou was also a straightforward person and immediately prepared to escort them down the mountain.

Jiang Ye looked at Cheng Yuan's back, which was stiff as an iron plate as he tried to suppress his rage, and smiled indifferently, adding unhurriedly:

"Many thanks to the Chiyan Sect for planting the herbs for us; we will enjoy them thoroughly!"

Hearing this, Cheng Yuan's body shook violently.

Enjoy?!

Never in his life had he suffered such an insult!

Cheng Yuan turned his head abruptly, his old eyes almost spitting fire, his voice shaking the fallen leaves in the mountains like a volcanic eruption:

"Bastards of the Tianqing Sect, don't get cocky!"

"I guarantee you won't be able to get a single wisp of Primordial Qi on this Tianyun Peak!"

"If you can get Primordial Qi, I'll write my name backward!"

"Just wait to get out of here!"

After speaking, he no longer looked at the expressions of Jiang Ye and the others, turned around abruptly, and strode down the mountain path, each step causing gravel to fly; despite being extremely aggrieved, he insisted on pretending to be somewhat dashing.

At the same time.

In the distance, under the shade of a towering ancient tree, clouds swirled and the mountain breeze blew.

Wan Liuzong Elder Zhu Junwen stood with his hands behind his back.

His gaze passed through layers of clouds and landed on the figures being escorted down the Eastern Peak mountain path, a look of unexpected emotion appearing on his elegant face:

"It is truly unexpected... that Lu Guizhou actually came..."

"This person rarely moves around within the sect on ordinary days..."

Cangyue Sect Elder Shi Jian crossed his arms and couldn't help but laugh: "This Cheng Laogui came forward himself, and then he got caught... Hahaha, it's hilarious."

Zhu Junwen withdrew his gaze, a meaningful smile appearing at the corner of his mouth:

"This is a great thing for us; now that Cheng Laogui has entered the Law Enforcement Hall, I'm afraid he won't be coming out for a while."

"He won't be able to cultivate in peace during this time."

"Our pressure for the competition for Primordial Qi in two months will be a bit lighter."

Shi Jian stopped laughing and nodded slightly, his gaze looking thoughtfully at the well-arranged courtyards on the mountainside of the Eastern Peak:

"Do you think they will have a chance?"

Zhu Junwen shook his head slightly: "Of course they have no chance; without a Primordial martial artist, they don't even have the qualifications to sit at the table."

In the distribution of Primordial Qi, the three sects would join forces to suppress the late-arriving sects as before.

The meat could only rot in their own pot; it was impossible to share even a little bit.

"Hahaha, those Chiyan Sect people are usually overbearing, but now they are honest!"

"I heard on the road just now that the Law Enforcement Hall is not an ordinary place."

"If they go in, they might lose a layer of skin..."

"They deserve it! Who told them to occupy our courtyards!"

Watching Cheng Yuan and his party being escorted down the mountain in such grievance, with not even a corner of red robe visible on the mountain path anymore, the Tianqing Sect disciples finally couldn't hide their excitement and let out bursts of irrepressible cheers.

At this moment, everyone truly felt that they had gained a firm foothold on this Eastern Peak, and the heavy stone that had been pressing on their hearts for so long finally fell to the ground.

"Elder Jiang, I didn't expect you to return so timely."

Liu Qingyu walked forward slowly, a sincere, light smile appearing on her peerlessly beautiful face.

Just now, she had faced Cheng Yuan's Primordial pressure alone; although she was not afraid, no one could guarantee whether that old madman would really take action if the confrontation continued.

Jiang Ye smiled indifferently: "Perhaps this is the tacit understanding between partners."

Hearing this, a flash of amusement crossed Liu Qingyu's starry eyes.

The more she interacted with this Elder Jiang, the more she discovered that this old man was actually quite interesting.

Usually silent like a block of wood, but when he suddenly says something, it always leaves people unable to respond.

"Alright, the unwelcome guests are gone; everyone can go pick a courtyard to rest!"

Jiang Ye turned and instructed the people behind him.

"Yes, finally we can rest."

Liu Qingyu also nodded slightly, the fatigue from days of travel finally surging up at this moment.

Just at this moment.

Bang! Bang! Bang...

A dull sound of footsteps suddenly came from the mountain path.

After getting closer, there was even a faint tremor on the ground.

Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, only to see a figure so burly it was almost exaggerated, sprinting up the mountain path.

The person was over nine feet tall, with dark skin, and a physique as sturdy as an upright-walking yak.

"Oh?! Another Primordial martial artist..."

Jiang Ye narrowed his eyes, a look of surprise flashing in his aged eyes.

The person not only had an exaggerated physique, but his aura could also stir the surrounding spiritual energy of heaven and earth while running.

Clearly, he was also a Primordial martial artist.

Meanwhile, Liu Qingyu's expression changed slightly, a flash of hidden disgust crossing her starry eyes: "Why did he come?"

Jiang Ye tilted his head slightly: "Is he an acquaintance of Peak Master Liu?"

The moment the words fell.

The figure had already rushed in front of everyone like a wild bull off its leash, the ground under his feet exploding from his final step.

He stood steady, his copper-bell-like eyes locked directly onto Liu Qingyu, and he shouted with a voice like a booming bell:

"Xiaoyu! Tie Niu has finally waited for you to come to the Upper Sect!"
