Boom!

A curtain of light in front of Yan Yi suddenly shattered, turning into specks of light, scattering in all directions. Yan Yi's figure blurred, instantly disappearing from where he stood. Once again, he was far away. "Junior Martial Uncle, listen to my explanation."

"Fourth Sister!" Qing Ze cried out in alarm, but just as he was about to step forward to stop her, Zhu Hu suddenly turned her head and swung her whip. A wave of heat hit Qing Ze's face and brushed past his body.

"If anyone dares to block my way, don't blame me for not keeping my old friendship in check!" Zhu Ge shouted.

"Fourth Sister, don't be rash!" Qing Ze advised in a deep voice.

"Still the same words, no one stop me!" Zhu Ge roared in anger. He turned around and lashed out again. Waves of heat surged, mountains collapsed, and trees turned into ashes.

Yan Yi felt guilty, but he didn't retaliate. He only dodged the attacks again and again.

BOOM! BOOM! "Boom!

Many disciples cried out in alarm and scattered in all directions. Yan Yi could no longer hold it in, he could rebuild the house, but if the disciples died, then it would be a true death. He still did not have the ability to fish out the dead disciples from the netherworld. Those disciples were all his blood and sweat, just like the crops the farmers grew. Who would want their own hard-earned crops to be destroyed?

"Junior Martial Uncle, enough!" Yan Yi shouted loudly, his hand forming a seal. He pointed forward, and the image of a huge flute suddenly appeared. The flute slowly turned, trapping the rhododendron within. The scarlet whip swung back and forth, and the flute's shadow flickered. Following the attack of the red cuckoo, cracks had already appeared on the surface of the flute.

"Little teacher, I didn't kill the fire sparrow, so there must have been a misunderstanding. Calm down first, we'll investigate it thoroughly and I'll give you an explanation." Yan Yi spoke as he turned to the three of them, trying to get them to help.

"Child Yan Yi, don't even think of farting. Do you think I'm blind? My Fire Bird is about to pounce on you with its last soul. What else do you have to say for yourself? " The cuckoo roared, the long whip in her hand did not stop at all, the cracks on the flute became bigger and bigger.

"I, Yan Yi, hereby swear that if the Fire Bird is killed by me, I, Yan Yi, will die a horrible death!" With this oath, Zhu Hong was stunned for a moment. The three people of the Verdant Tarn Mountain Range looked at each other.

"Fourth sister, it looks like there must have been a misunderstanding." As Qingze spoke, Bai Hongxuan and Lu also echoed his sentiments.

"Misunderstanding? "Haha …" The cuckoo's hair was messy, and the gray hair covered most of her face, but it could not cover her terrifying eyes.

There are millions of oaths made under the heavens, and the oaths were made by people who said they would die a horrible death, but how many of them took the oath in the end? How many of them would die a horrible death? Yan Yi, my child, are you using this old body to play with a three year old child? " Zhu Kong's wrist rotated, and the long fiery-red whip in the shape of a awl spun forwards, "Fire Spirit Break!" With a low growl, a fiery red sparrow carried a sky-high flame as it flew straight towards the flute.

With a loud boom, the flute shattered, turning into specks of golden light and exploding all over the sky.

The red sparrow ran towards Yan Yi without hesitation. The scorching air waves turned the plants on the ground into ashes. Qing Ze and the others paled. They quickly waved their hands and formed a huge light barrier that separated the Qi waves from the disciples below. However, it was a step too late. The disciples who had shallow cultivations didn't even have time to scream before they turned into ashes.

Yan Yi was enraged!

"I've already said that it's not me, and I've even sworn to it, so what else can I say?" Yan Yi's voice wasn't loud, but it was clearly heard by everyone. Everyone could hear that the Sect Leader's anger was already beginning to boil.

"You forced me!" Yan Yi lowered his hand and a jade flute fell from his sleeve. The fire sparrow was getting closer and closer to Yan Yi, and Yan Yi was not in a hurry, the jade flute was pressed against his lips, and the music suddenly stopped. The fire sparrow abruptly stopped, and in the next instant, everything rolled back.

Ah!

The long whip fell, and the flame that was sent rolling back split into two halves and was pushed to both sides, revealing the cuckoo standing in the middle.

"Big brother, who should we help?" Bai Hong was slightly anxious as he turned to ask Qing Ze.

"Yan Yi knows his limits, all we need to do is protect the disciples below, and do not cause anyone else to lose their lives." Qing Ze looked at the sullen Yan Yi as he spoke.

With a flick of his finger, Yan Yi blew out seven syllables, each syllable forming a note formed from spiritual energy in front of him.

Boom! Boom! Boom!

Seven loud sounds rang out in a row. Zhu Hong's hair was in disarray, and she was in a sorry state. The long whip in her hand lashed out, but her eyes were filled with madness.

"This is bad!" Qing Ze cried out in alarm and was about to rush forward when Bai Hongxuan also noticed the change. "Fourth Sister, don't!"

Yan Yi's pupils shrank to the size of a needle's, his hands stroked the jade flute, and the sound suddenly rose up. The free will appeared once again, directly rushing to Zhu Ge's head, at the same time, an even purer free will was transmitted from below.

The tyrannical aura in the cuckoo's dantian gradually disappeared. Qing Ze lifted up his hand to seal the cuckoo's dantian. Bai Hong supported the cuckoo as it was about to fall down. Xuan Lu turned around and said, "Yan Yi, it's done."

The Sect Leader, Yan Yi, had a gloomy face as he stared at the white ashes on the ground.

"Bai Hong!" Yan Yi shouted out loudly, and all of the disciples looked up at the Sect Leader, not knowing what he wanted to say.

Qing Ze seemed to have guessed what Yan Yi was about to do. He looked at Zhu Hong, who was still staring at Yan Yi, and shook his head helplessly. "Fourth Sister, there's no need." Xuan Lu remained silent. Bai Hong turned around and clasped his fists.

Yan Yi raised his hand, holding a white jade token. Upon seeing this token, everyone in the entire Free and Unrestrained Sect except for Long Chen kneeled down.

"Those who see this order will feel as if they see Ancestor Xiao Yao and Sentencing Elder Bai Hong listen to the order!" The Protector Elder Zhu Hong disregarded the rules of the sect. If a disciple was killed, they should be put to death, but there was a reason for this, and she had contributed greatly to the success of the Free and Unrestrained Faction, but the death of her disciple was not an option, she could not escape death!

"They are to be sent to the back of the mountain to cut off all cultivation resources for a hundred years. No one is to visit them for a hundred years. Those who violate the rules are to be sentenced to a hundred strokes. If they resist, they are to be executed without pardon!" As he spoke, Bai Hong who was nearby could clearly feel the faintly discernible killing intent from Yan Yi. He cupped his hands in response, and together with the Verdant Tarn Mystic Land, he dragged Zhu Hong back to the back of the mountain.

"Disperse." Yan Yi waved his hand and flicked his sleeve as he returned to Carefree Palace.

The disciples scattered around and returned to their own spots. The calm returned to the desolate mountain, and the loose and unrestrained disciples looked at Yan Yi and bitterly smiled. They shook their heads and glanced at Long Chen, who was standing in a daze in the sky, but did not disturb him, and returned to their rooms instead.

Long Chen, who had been mumbling about being unworthy of death, was jolted back to his senses by the heat wave. In front of him, the Free and Unrestrained Elders were standing with their hands up in the air, forming a shield of light.

Long Chen saw with his own eyes that the three disciples had turned into a pile of white ash less than thirty meters away from Long Chen. Long Chen raised his head to look at the sky where the cuckoo was trapped. The face in his mind that was filled with the pain of losing a child turned into a face that viewed innocent lives as grass.

"Did you pass?" Li Lin asked.

Long Chen was silent for a long time. "I don't know."

"No, her Fire Bird died, she went crazy and killed a few unrelated disciples in order to get revenge. Did you see the frightened faces of those disciples before they died?"

When they died, they didn't even have a proper reason to do so. They didn't even know that the entire sequence of events had occurred in such a manner. The Fire Bird was that elder's flesh and blood.

Humans were not plants and vegetation, how could they be ruthless? What could their parents do if they died? Their parents were only commoners in the mortal world. They were powerless, so even if they came to seek revenge, what would be the result? Just a dead family.

For people on the same level as the Sect Protectors, life was nothing. In their eyes, they only had themselves. If they wanted to live, then they would have to walk on the corpses of others, step by step.

"The law of this world is that the strong preys on the weak, there is no need for mercy, and there is nothing you can say about what we have done. However, since you have embarked on the path of cultivation, you must be ruthless, otherwise, you will just be a corpse under the feet of others."

Long Chen looked at the sky and remained silent.

"Let me ask you, have you killed anyone before?"

"Yes."

"Why did you kill him?"

"If I don't kill him, they'll kill me."

"Does everyone want to kill you?" Sharp Scales pursued him and asked.

Long Chen was stunned for a moment.

"Tell me about the cannibal branch. Are you able to reason with them? What have you got to do with them? I don't know him at all! However, I wanted to kill you as soon as we met. You only have the cannibalism to kill the people who came to kill you again and again. Do you dare to say that no one here doesn't know about this? You killed all of them, those who had enmity, those who were innocent, they were your stepping stones, this world that ate people without spitting out their bones.

There is no right or wrong, only strength and weakness! "

"There is no right or wrong, only strength and weakness?" "Really?" Long Chen mumbled.

"As long as you're strong enough, right or wrong is up to you!" Sharp scale added.

"If he's strong enough, I'll decide." Long Chen could not help but mutter the words spoken by Sharp Scales.

"Speaking of the cannibal branch, I have a bad feeling these two days. My eyelids are always jumping non-stop, so we should make a trip to the Dragonize Pool as soon as possible.

"I will inform Xiao Yao's group that we will set off tomorrow. Don't drag it out for too long as you haven't cultivated for too long. According to your progress, if you haven't arrived at the Immortal Moon Empire, you will die after meeting Old Monster Long."

"How far is the Dragonize Pool from here?"

"Around 80 miles. When I was touring around here, I coincidentally saw someone fighting. It's been so many years, I wonder how much is left. "Logically speaking, after all these years, even a group of pigs should be able to succeed."

"What are you talking about?"

"You should know the origin of the Dragonize Pool, right?"

"Spirit beasts returning to their ancestors, the original pouch was thrown into a pond and turned into spirit energy for the younger generations to absorb." Did you just say that if a Spirit Beast were to successfully return to its ancestors, the Spiritual Energy would increase? "

"Yes, the humans and demons will each occupy that place for a hundred years. After that, they will hand it over to each other. This is the result of the competition between the humans and demons that died many years ago."

"No matter how many there are, we can talk after we get there. There's bound to be a way out before we reach the mountain." Sharp scale didn't matter.

Long Chen turned around and entered the room with the Free and Unrestrained.

"What's the matter?" Xiao Yunsan looked at Long Chen and asked.

"I want to make a trip to the Dragonize Pool."

"Dragon Transformation Pool? What are we doing there? " Free and Unrestrained, however, couldn't help but ask.

"Body tempering, re-forming the pill."

Free and Unrestrained guy thought for a while, then slapped his thigh and said with regret, "Aiya, why didn't I think of this place? If I had thought of it earlier, I wouldn't have stayed in this stinky place all night."

Xiao Yao Palace, Yan Yi was sitting on a praying mat with his eyes closed. The hall was so quiet that even a pin drop could be heard, but it was unknown what kind of waves were surging within.

Yan Yi opened his eyes, and what he saw was the direction of the Rippling Mountain. "Junior Brother, what else do you have to hide from the things Master left for you?"
