In the courtyard of the Order Enforcent Hall, blades and swords clashed amid sprays of blood, accompanied by the indignant shouts of over two hundred cultivators.
"You Wandao Sect, as leaders of the Human Clan, how can you commit such Demon Path acts!?"
"We only wish for you to give the Human Clan an explanation, and you just... ah—"
Amid screams, a head fell to the ground.
On the steps above, Lu Jin'an watched the scene below with an expressionless face, without a ripple in his heart.
Upon learning of the purpose of this group at the mountain's base with his Master on their way back, he arranged for Jiang Wuya and other Junior Brothers and Sisters to go down the mountain to patiently explain.
Wandao Sect had said all that needed to be said, had given all the face that could be given, yet they not only disregarded it but also dared to insult the Master and Senior Sister in his presence, even wanting them to prove their innocence?
A group of cultivators not even at the Immortal level, yet who they were incited by to recklessly spew nonsense... are you asking for trouble?
"Lu Jin'an!"
Huang Wenchang shouted angrily: "We rely seek an explanation, and this is how you tarnish the reputation that Wandao Sect has built over millennia?!"
At this mont, he was able to shout at Lu Jin'an because of his Demi Immortal's cultivation.
Lu Jin'an lightly swirled his teacup: "The other Four Sects and Seven Colleges have said nothing about this matter, do you even qualify?"
"I, the Saint Heir, have given you a way out, but you refuse to take it."
Listening to the diminishing screams and the pervasive sll of blood behind him, Huang Wenchang clenched his fists: "Lu Jin'an! Aren't you afraid that what you do will bring retribution, that the world's cultivators will condemn you?!"
Lu Jin'an's eyelids lowered slightly, disinterested, and the Zhiyu beside him tugged at his clothes at this mont; looking down, Zhiyu was not afraid.
"Master, tea." Zhiyu blinked: "Zhiyu will go fetch it..."
Lu Jin'an smiled slightly, handing the teacup to Zhiyu, who then wobbled towards the hall.
Ji Wenchen glanced at Zhiyu in surprise; since when did the Saint Heir take an apprentice, and why was there no news at all?
Have they not yet held the apprenticeship ceremony?
As he wondered, he saw Mu Qingyue walk to Lu Jin'an's side and ask softly: "Junior Brother, aren't you worried that this scene will affect Zhiyu's emotions?"
"It hasn't affected her, has it?" Lu Jin'an replied indifferently: "Besides, she bears the Ancestor Candle Dragon bloodline and has responsibilities she must shoulder in the future. If she fears such a small scene, how will she manage later?"
"You're considering taking her as an apprentice?"
Lu Jin'an smiled: "For now, yes, after all, the Dragon Clan once bestowed over a hundred drops of Blood of the Reversed Scale."
Mu Qingyue humd in acknowledgnt, looking down to see Huang Wenchang's eyes grow sharp as if he had found a target: "Demonic creature!"
"Wandao Sect may shield you, but I will not; today, I will let everyone see your true monstrous nature!"
As his words fell, Huang Wenchang gathered all his Spiritual Power. With the strength of a Demi Immortal who had survived nine Heavenly Tribulations, he faced no hindrance as he charged toward Mu Qingyue atop the stairs!
Jiang Wuya and the others' expressions changed slightly as they imdiately moved to encircle Huang Wenchang.
The strength of a Demi Immortal was significant; although the Saint Heir had once taught the Changqing Qin Clan's Demi Immortal Yin Su a lesson in the Yulin Domain, it was with other ans.
Though the Saint Heir has now survived the Physical Body Tribulation, dealing with a Demi Immortal would still be sowhat challenging... hmm?
Thud!
In sight, Lu Jin'an stepped forward to stand in front of Mu Qingyue, looking down at Huang Wenchang.
Moreover, Huang Wenchang, who had rushed halfway up the stairs, knelt steadily on a step, his knees boring two holes into the stone, scattering debris.
Dozens of eyes instantly froze on this scene; what happened...?
Qiu Qingtang's eyes widened at this scene, disbelief and suspicion flashing in her pink eyes, which then fixed on Lu Jin'an's profile.
He could utilize Rule Power with just his physical body?
Isn't this a bloodline talent possessed only by demon beasts...
What kind of Physical Body Tribulation did he undergo?
Jiang Wuya and the others, who had halted, looked at Lu Jin'an in bewildernt. Initially thinking it was a sect elder secretly intervening, they realized that it was actually the Saint Heir's rules enveloping Huang Wenchang, confirming that the Saint Heir indeed took action.
But, to directly mobilize Rule Power without any visible Spiritual Power—is this sothing a cultivator can do?
Has the Saint Heir beco an Immortal?
This couldn't be; even Immortals use Spiritual Power to grasp the Great Dao... so was it Vigorous Force?
But could Body Refinent's Vigorous Force accomplish this?
It hasn't been heard of that past Body Cultivators could achieve this purely with their physique, and no sign of the Saint Heir using Vigorous Force was seen.
So... what happened?
Kneeling on the ground, Huang Wenchang felt as if a mountain bore down on his body, unable to straighten his knees or lift his head!
What happened?
Sweat drenched Huang Wenchang heard the chaotic footsteps from above the stairs and the voice saying "Master, tea."
Receiving the second cup of tea from Zhiyu, Lu Jin'an looked down at the kneeling Huang Wenchang, with black eyes gleaming as if with cloud-like red Vigorous Force.
When breaking through the Physical Body Tribulation, he integrated his own rules into his newly reborn body, enabling him to mobilize Rule Power with re gestures.
However, simply using gestures to suppress a well-renowned elder Demi Immortal wasn't easy, so he concentrated Vigorous Force in his eyes.
Thus, with just one glance, Huang Wenchang was forced to kneel to his rules!
