Yellow Court Daoist

This time, Yu Fengzi and others had launched a surprise attack and exposed a shocking internal scandal, intending to topple the Great Saint from his divine pedestal. Yet, merely relying on a few words, most still found it unbelievable and chose to stand by Qingjing Saint.

At this moment, without the appearance of the Great Saint, it was inevitably unsettling.

"What a brash Qingjing Old Demon to act so arrogantly!"

Yu Fengzi glared, but his face showed a hint of joy.

He looked at the young Daoist holding the Divine Fire Fan and immediately recognized that this was simply a newly ascended True Immortal. While delighted, he also marveled inwardly, "The methods of Qingjing Old Demon are truly formidable. Zhang Jingshan, Gongyang Ye, Yunzhou, Lan Qing, and even Mu Chen were all mentored and guided by him to achieve True Immortality. And now, without a sound, another True Immortal has appeared under his tutelage!"

Over the years.

All the newly ascended True Immortals in the world had emerged from Qingjing Saint's disciples.

And now, there appeared this young Daoist.

Yu Fengzi was naturally shocked.

Not only Yu Fengzi.

Ancestor Master Bai Luo, Qing Baizi, and others were equally astonished. They were also relieved that they had taken action in time, otherwise, following this trend, the Immortal Sect would be filled everywhere with true immortal disciples of the Qingjing Old Demon.

It would then be difficult to overthrow him.

But now—

Yu Fengzi's lips curled slightly upward, and he clasped his hands toward Zuo Wang Daoist who stood calmly still, "This mere newly ascended True Immortal isn't worth bothering the Immortal Envoy. Allow me to take this young man down!"

Zuo Wang Daoist did not respond.

Seeing this, Yu Fengzi took it as implied consent, stepping forward with his chest puffed out, he pointed at the young Daoist and demanded, "Who goes there, state your name quickly!"

The young Daoist, since arriving, had not even deigned to look directly at Yu Fengzi or the other six, nor Zhang Jingshan or Gongyang Ye. His serene eyes only rested on Zuo Wang Daoist.

As he watched,

A faint smile appeared on his face, growing wider until Yu Fengzi's loud questioning seemed to bring him back to his senses. Without looking at Yu Fengzi, he smiled at Zuo Wang Daoist and said, "I am Qin Wei, the senior disciple of Qing Yuan Daoist."

Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned.

"Isn't the disciple of the Great Saint?"

"Qing Yuan Daoist?"

"Who is this person that can teach a True Immortal disciple? We've never heard of him before."

Surprise filled the air.

Everyone turned their gaze back to the young Daoist, then to the Divine Fire Fan in his hand, their bewilderment deepening.

Even Zhang Jingshan, Gongyang Ye, and others were confused. They couldn't figure out who this person was or what his relationship was with their teacher, nor how he came to possess the Divine Fire Fan.

Among them,

Mu Chen's expression changed slightly, her eyes shining as she opened her mouth in incredulous surprise.

Observing Yu Fengzi and other established True Immortals,

Each of them also showed changing expressions, filled with astonishment and doubt.

Gongyang Ye, spotting the Divine Fire Fan in the young Daoist's hand and seeing the change in Mu Chen's expression, couldn't help but ask, "Sister Muu, do you know this Daoist's origins?"

Zhang Jingshan, Yunzhou, and Lan Qing also turned their attention to Mu Chen.

She seemed both shocked and uncertain, hesitatingly said, "Years ago, when the South Sea Alliance Leader nearly faced the end of his Daoist path, he spoke from the heavens above, calling his mentor 'Qing Yuanzi.'"

Her progress in cultivation wasn't swift, and she was older than Zhang Jingshan and the others. When she had ventured into the dangerous Bamboo Mountain Sea Domain, she heard the Alliance Leader himself broadcast his life's story to all realms from the heavens.

Thus,

Upon hearing 'Qing Yuan Daoist,' after a slight hesitation, she made the connection. However, she was not sure about the details.

"Qing Yuan Daoist!"

"Qingyuan Sword Sect!"

"That being said, could this Daoist be the senior disciple brother of the former Southern Sea Alliance Leader?!"

Surprise colored Gongyang Ye's face.

The former South Sea Alliance Leader, Ding Yu, was a legendary figure who survived from the Great Destruction Era, lived for eighty or ninety thousand years, and was rumored to have ascended to the Immortal Realm, enjoying limitless freedom.

And this young Daoist claimed to be the senior disciple of Ding Yu's mentor, Qing Yuan Daoist, having apprenticed before Ding Yu. If calculated this way, could it be that though he appeared young, this Daoist was actually eighty or ninety thousand years old?

"Perhaps—"

"This Qing Yuan Daoist might not be the same person as Qing Yuanzi, perhaps just a coincidence of the same name."

Mu Chen couldn't be certain either.

Furthermore,

There are countless cultivators in the world, and name collisions among Daoist names are numerous. Without reporting their sect, school, or lineage, it is difficult to determine if they are the same person.

This Qin Wei Daoist's mentor, Qing Yuan Daoist, if indeed the same person as Ding Yu's mentor Qing Yuanzi, logically it doesn't make sense.

"Daoist Qin Wei!"

Everyone present was baffled by the young Daoist, the self-proclaimed 'Qin Wei.'

Yu Fengzi, as a seasoned True Immortal, was naturally aware of the connections and origins between Ding Yu, Qing Yuanzi, and the Qingyuan Sword Sect. Observing Daoist Qin Wei, although he had never met him in his memories, he couldn't help but feel a sense of déjà vu from the expression between his brows.

In his irritation, Yu Fengzi scowled, "No matter whose disciple he might be, since he is a minion of Qingjing Old Demon, today he shall die along with him!"

With a thunderous shout, Yu Fengzi whipped the Plague God Whip, its eerie aura enveloping the air, and ferociously struck at Daoist Qin Wei.

Originating from the Sanwen Immortal Sect, he was the only True Immortal in the sect. His mastery in the arcane and peculiar methods of pestilential Daoist Skills was peerless across the land, a contrast stark against ordinary Immortal Sects.

Among all the Immortal Alliances, only the Five Fire Sect, Golden Silkworm Immortal Sect, and Five Stars Prefecture had inheritances that could compare. Even the Qingyuan Sword Sect, strongly supported by Ding Yu, could not match the Sanwen Immortal Sect in many Great Methods and skill transmissions.

As a True Immortal of this sect, Yu Fengzi was widely acknowledged to be at the top echelon.

At this moment, he made his move.

The plague aura was dense and terrifying, causing even Primordial Spirit Practitioners to feel weak and drained just from glancing at the Plague God Whip in Yu Fengzi's hand, as if it sapped all their strength, bringing headaches and fevers among other afflictions.

Truly bizarre and alarming.

The crowd retreated repeatedly, fearful of being caught in the aftermath, yet their eyes were fixed unwaveringly on Daoist Qin Wei.

Under the assault of the Plague God Whip, Daoist Qin Wei did not dodge or evade, appearing foolish.

"This person—"

Gongyang Ye frowned, looking towards Zhang Jingshan and others, saying, "This Daoist wields the teacher's Divine Fire Fan; we cannot simply stand by. Let me go and lend him a hand!"

As he spoke, his mana surged, preparing to rush towards Yu Fengzi.

Zhang Jingshan, Mu Yunzhou, Shen Lanqing, and Mu Chen also tensed up, ready to provide support.

At that moment—

"Good."

"Good."

"Good."

From all around, the voice of Zuo Wang Daoist resonated, uttering 'good' three times, revealing a trace of faint joy.

Gongyang Ye paused and looked towards Zuo Wang Daoist.

So did Zhang Jingshan and others.

Ancestor Master Bai Luo, Qing Baizi, and others did the same.

Yu Fengzi, in the midst of attacking Daoist Qin Wei, also turned in surprise and looked back.

However,

That momentary glance left him terrified to the core, and he screamed, "Immortal Envoy—"

But before he could finish,

Zuo Wang Daoist lightly issued a palm strike, shifting Xuan Light in his palm which rapidly transformed into numerous Ancient Divine Dragons, roaring and enveloping Yu Fengzi.

Amid Yu Fengzi's horrified screams, the Divine Dragons tore him apart and devoured him.

In such a state,

He wouldn't last more than a moment without meeting his demise.

"Is this—"

"The Plague Emperor's Great Seal?!"

Ancestor Master Bai Luo, Qing Baizi, and even Zhang Jingshan, Mu Chen, and others, upon witnessing this scene and the technique demonstrated by Zuo Wang Daoist, were all stunned.

This 'Plague Emperor's Great Seal' was a top-tier wonderful method of the Sanwen Immortal Sect, nearly approaching the might of Divine Skills. It was Yu Fengzi's signature move, cultivated to an extremely high level, and had once swept through many Demons.

Yet unknown to all, what level had Yu Fengzi advanced the 'Plague Emperor's Great Seal' to after acquiring the Plague God Whip.

Unexpectedly,

This very signature move of Yu Fengzi would be executed by Zuo Wang Daoist, the 'Immortal Envoy' he had personally invited, threatening to end his life in mere moments.

Such a reversal,

Such a shift,

Truly stunned both factions of True Immortals and all surrounding cultivators.

Zuo Wang Daoist remained composed, his face gleaming with golden light while the red light gradually faded, revealing a slightly handsome youthful face. Looking at Daoist Qin Wei, he smiled.

Then, he bowed slightly,

Giving Daoist Qin Wei a modest salute, he spoke:

"Senior brother, be well."
