Chapter 1784: Their sins are monstrous

You Guo Family are really not doing human things, a bunch of idiots, wasting heavenly treasures, damn it, my Hall of Longevity will never agree to this.

Huh???

The Guo Family Fifth Elder, who had been eating well, was suddenly scolded like this by Steward Li, leaving him completely stunned and dazed.

He had just stuffed a big mouthful of rice, his cheeks bulging, the food not yet swallowed, when he looked up and first gave Steward Li a puzzled look.

Only a few breaths later, the doubt in his eyes turned to anger, and he immediately began to curse indistinctly.

Are you damn sick?

What bullshit, I've laid it out straight: I will absolutely not let your Guo Family harm Ye Youngster even a hair.

Huh???

What the hell is that bullshit.

Seeing Steward Li eating while scowling and angrily cursing, the Fifth Elder was completely dazed.

What the hell are you saying? What does it mean to harm Ye Youngster even a hair? When has our Guo Family ever thought of harming Ye Youngster? This guy has lost his mind.

Steward Li then said nothing more, just viciously eating his rice while secretly pondering how to lure Ye Zhangqing into the Hall of Longevity.

This Guo Family is clueless and unworthy of such outstanding individuals.

Someone like Ye Zhangqing is beyond the Guo Family's grasp; they need to let the Hall of Longevity have him.

At this moment, the Fifth Elder didn't know what Steward Li was thinking; he only felt that this old thing was strange, like he was sick, and couldn't be bothered with him.

Over the meal, whether they said it was comfortable or not, it was neither comfortable nor uncomfortable.

After finishing the meal in a whirlwind, the two each cleaned their bowls and chopsticks, washed them clean, and before leaving, Steward Li gave the Fifth Elder a cold stare and snorted, throwing out a line.

"Hmph, I won't let your Guo Family succeed; we'll see how it goes."

Huh???

After saying that, he didn't give the Fifth Elder a chance to respond, turned and left cleanly, leaving only the Fifth Elder alone, disheveled in the wind.

After the Fifth Elder came to his senses, there was no trace of Steward Li.

He turned his dark face toward Ye Zhangqing, who had just returned from Luo Jiuyou's room, and said through gritted teeth.

"Is this person sick?"

"Kid, I don't know."

Hearing that, Ye Zhangqing didn't want to get involved, gave a casual reply; seeing that, the Fifth Elder didn't press further and walked off, muttering something about his nerves.

As he walked, he kept muttering complaints under his breath.

Ye Zhangqing still didn't realize that he had already caught Steward Li's attention.

After more than a day of medicinal dietary treatment, Luo Jiuyou's body had recovered quite well.

This was roughly what Ye Zhangqing had anticipated; it should take about five or six days to fully heal.

By then, I myself would be able to return to the Guo Family.

After finishing his work, Ye Zhangqing went straight back to his room to rest, while the few Netherworld Palace disciples, with their senior brother leading, stared at the formation light curtain before them and spoke resentfully.

Within the formation light curtain was a middle-aged man with a bland expression and a square face, who asked:

"How is Luo Jiuyou? Is he dead?"

"Reporting to Steward, Luo Brother has already been receiving treatment in the Hall of Longevity and is recovering well."

Huh???

Hearing that, the middle-aged man's brows furrowed slightly and a flash of doubt crossed his eyes.

This middle-aged man was precisely the Netherworld Palace steward responsible for Luo Jiuyou and others from the lower realm.

Before this, he had felt some pity for Luo Jiuyou, so he privately paid out of pocket to let these disciples bring him to the Hall of Longevity to try his luck.

But now his suspicion arose not because Luo Jiuyou had received treatment in the Hall of Longevity, but because of how that Netherworld Palace disciple had just addressed Luo Jiuyou.

Frowning, he wondered, 'When did he become Luo Brother?' Before the steward could speak, the speaking disciple immediately continued:

"Steward, the disciple has another matter to report."

Huh???

Hearing that, the middle-aged steward grew even more suspicious, wondering, 'What business could you possibly have going to Azure Jade Immortal City?'

The Netherworld Palace has no influence in Azure Jade Immortal City; if it weren't for the Hall of Longevity being cheap, he wouldn't have let these people bring Luo Jiuyou to Azure Jade Immortal City.

But since they said that, the middle-aged steward still casually replied:

"Speak."

"It concerns Luo Brother's serious injury."

Huh???

The more he listened, the more confused he became; what are you saying, kid? At this point, the middle-aged steward was already somewhat bewildered.

There's no fucking talk about Luo Jiuyou's serious injury; even if there was, you didn't mention it back then, why bring it up now?

But this disciple completely ignored the steward's thoughts and just started speaking on his own:

"The disciple wants to say that those few lower-realm individuals dared to secretly attack Luo Brother; they have actually violated sect rules and must be severely punished without mercy."

Huh???

Sect rules?

"Although Luo Brother is from the lower realm, since he has joined my Netherworld Palace, he is one of my Netherworld Palace people."

"Those few attacking Luo Brother for no reason is tantamount to attacking my Netherworld Palace disciples; they must be severely punished, otherwise what good are the sect rules?"

"Moreover, these people are audacious; if they dare to attack Luo Brother today, will they dare to attack us formal disciples tomorrow?"

"Will they dare to attack Inner Sect senior brothers in the future? Dare to attack core senior brothers?"

"In the end, will they not even put the steward in their eyes?"

"If this continues, won't it turn the world upside down? By then, will they not even regard elders, palace masters, and founding ancestors?"

So the disciples believe these few people are guilty of enormous crimes, their sins are towering, and they should be punished with the ultimate penalty.

Huh???

What the hell are you talking about? What do you mean 'sentenced to the ultimate penalty'?

At first it sounded confusing, but as this disciple spoke, the middle-aged steward grew more puzzled, and everyone listening became dumbfounded.

How did it even rise to sect rules? Sect rules aside, the more you spoke, the more outrageous it got, until in the end you even dragged the Palace Master and the Old Ancestors into it.

Within the Formation Light Curtain, this middle-aged steward stared with wide eyes, looking dumbfounded at this disciple, opened his mouth, and found for a moment he didn't know what to say, momentarily at a loss for words.

However, at that moment, the other disciples standing on either side of this disciple, seeing the situation, also chimed in.

"What Shī xiōng said is correct; these madmen disregard sect rules, their crimes are enormous, their sins towering, and they deserve the ultimate penalty."

"If they dare to attack Brother Luo today, tomorrow they'll dare to attack us, the day after that they'll dare to attack all the Shī xiōng, and in the end they probably won't even spare the Palace Master and the Old Ancestor."

"Such villains will surely become a major threat to our Netherworld Palace; we must eliminate them swiftly."

"Please, steward, see clearly; these great villains are before us, the sect must absolutely not be careless, we must eradicate them with thunderous force, otherwise they may later endanger the sect's foundation."

"The disciple requests reconsideration."

Huh???

Being in the Netherworld Palace, this steward was dumbfounded.
