"Since they have made a mistake, fellow Daoist, if you trust this old man, why not hand them over to our Holy Alliance to be dealt with? We will certainly punish them severely."
"Handled by you?" Lu Qing raised an eyebrow, "Will you execute them?"
"Youâre joking, fellow Daoist." Elder Xing shook his head, "They have erred and offended you, but their crime is not deserving of death. However, I will ensure they compensate you."
"Compensation, is it?" Lu Qing laughed lightly, stroking Little Liâs fur, "Elder, do you know that to me, this spiritual pet is truly family?
These two are Golden Core late-stage experts. Just now, they joined forces to wield a magical treasure, and the blow they struck was quite powerful.
If I hadnât arrived in time, my spiritual pet might have been gravely injured or worse.
Elder, if your family was attacked without cause, nearly killed, what would you do?"
Elder Xing was silent; he could hear the murderous intent in Lu Qingâs tone.
The other party was resolute, unwilling to spare these two Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciples.
Yet after a moment of silence, he still spoke, "If it were me, I would still choose to hand them over to the Holy Alliance."
"It seems that you and I, Elder, cannot reach an agreement." Lu Qing shook his head and said, "In my dealings, I always repay kindness with kindness and revenge with revenge. Since these two have offended me, there is no reason for me to let someone else punish them."
After speaking, Lu Qingâs mind stirred, and the suppressive force on the two Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciples suddenly intensified.
Elder Xingâs expression changed slightly as he felt this, and his Primordial Spiritâs fluctuations, strengthened on the two Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciples, similarly intensified rapidly.
However, he was astonished to discover that his strengthening was unable to match the opponentâs.
Bang!
In just an instant, there was a thunderous sound, and Elder Xingâs power was shattered.
Soon after, under the tremendously powerful suppressive force wielded by Lu Qing, the two Ten Thousand Beasts Sect disciples couldnât even utter a cry before they were turned into blood mist, dead on the spot.
"Fellow Daoist, you!"
Witnessing the two clouds of blood mist, Elder Xing was both shocked and furious.
He was naturally shocked by the unexpected strength of Lu Qingâs suppressive force, capable of breaking his Taoist skill.
Furious because, as an elder of the Holy Allianceâs Punishment Hall, a dignified Four Tribulation Primordial Spirit,
this person showed no respect, killing the ones he intended to protect right in front of his eyes.
"Elder, those who offended me have already been punished by my own hands. Is there anything else you wish to say?" Lu Qing said calmly.
Elder Xingâs expression turned grim as he glared tightly at Lu Qing, a surge of murderous intent brewing within him.
Lu Qing sensed this murderous intent but only smiled.
"It seems the Elder is not as selfless as he claims. I merely punished two wicked individuals, and youâve already developed a killing intent. Is it possible that I have already committed a crime worthy of death in the eyes of your Holy Alliance?
Or have you finally decided not to pretend anymore?"
"What do you mean?" Elder Xing paused.
The purple-robed, high-crowned middle-aged man and other Primordial Spirit Realm individuals behind him also showed slight changes in expression.
"Ha ha, do you all truly think Iâm oblivious, unable to sense your exchange through sound transmission earlier? Youâve long identified my identity through Little Li, havenât you?"
"Therefore, you are indeed the evil demon who committed a great crime years ago on the Tianshu Divine Mountain, harming multiple Primordial Spirit Great Powers?"
Elder Xingâs face turned completely cold.
"An evil demon, is it?" Lu Qing mouthed the term before laughing and saying, "Thatâs right, I am indeed the âevil demonâ wanted by your Holy Alliance back then."
With these words, all the Human Race Primordial Spirit Great Powers were taken aback.
Despite having already confirmed through various clues that the mysterious young man before them was the âevil demonâ who committed the monstrous crime on Tianshu Divine Mountain years ago,
they couldnât help but be surprised when Lu Qing genuinely admitted to it.
They originally thought the other party would at least try to deny or argue, yet he admitted it so straightforwardly.
At the same time, some of their doubts were answered.
Rumor had it, the âevil demonâ who slaughtered multiple Primordial Spirit Great Powers on Tianshu Divine Mountain many years ago was genuinely of the Golden Core Realm.
When this matter was reported to the Holy Alliance, most elders and elders were skeptical.
After all, a Golden Core against a Primordial Spirit is unbelievable, let alone a Golden Core Realm individual single-handedly slaying multiple Primordial Spirit Great Powers head-to-head.
This kind of thing is as absurd as an ant suddenly slaughtering a dragon.
Some elders even suspected that those surviving Primordial Spirits might have exaggerated, deliberately magnifying the âevil demonâsâ power to cover their incompetence.
However, later, through extensive investigations, the Holy Alliance obtained an astonishing result.
What those Primordial Spirit Realms said seemed highly likely to be true.
That âevil demonâ, their true realm, might truly be the Golden Core Realm!
Precisely for this reason, the Holy Alliance ultimately decided to issue a kill order for that âevil demonâ.
First, because this âevil demonâ had enormous potential and seemed to harbor deep hostility towards their Human Race forces, posing a great threat.
Second, because there were those in the Holy Alliance who wanted to know why a Golden Core Realm individual possessed such immense strength.
Looking back now, no wonder the previous Heavenly Tribulation was so strong, clearly a Primordial Spirit Tribulation, yet more terrifying than the Primordial Spirit Realm of seasoned Primordials.
If it were this individual, it makes sense.
After all, this âevil demonâ could possibly slay multiple Primordial Spirit Great Powers at the Golden Core Realm years ago, with unimaginably deep foundations.
The Primordial Spirit Tribulation they faced, exceeding conventional terrors, was not so difficult to understand after all.
The Human Race Primordial Spirit Great Powers were greatly shocked.
The Demon Clan Primordial Spirit Realm individuals also showed varied expressions.
They had also heard about what happened on Tianshu Divine Mountain among the Human Race years ago, but never expected the central figure to be this mysterious young man in front of them.
Those with sharp minds were the first to focus on Little Li.
They recalled certain legends related to the incident years ago.
Legend has it that, years ago, the âevil demonâ was accompanied by a spiritual beast with ancient bloodlines. Could it be the black Raccoon perched on his shoulder?
"Excellent!"
Elder Xingâs face turned somber, "So it really is you, this evil demon. No wonder youâre so ruthless.
Not even sparing two junior Golden Core Realm who only slightly offended you, seeking total annihilation.
Only an evil demon like you could commit such inhumane acts!
As the saying goes, after searching high and low, we never tracked you down despite many years of the Holy Allianceâs pursuit, only to find you nestled in the Ten Thousand Demon Mountain Range, cultivating in secret.
Perfect, today I will capture you and bring you back to the Holy Alliance for trial, to show you that killing our Human Race Great Powers is not so easily done!"
After speaking, Elder Xing drew the dark Iron Sword strapped to his back, ready to advance and capture Lu Qing.
"Hold on!"
Just when Elder Xing started to move, True Martial King suddenly appeared before him, extending his hand to halt him.
"True Martial King, what do you mean by this?"
Elder Xingâs expression changed instantly, questioning in a loud voice.
Simultaneously, he was flooded with various thoughts.
Could it be that this True Martial King sees this evil demon being at odds with the Human Race and intends to intervene?
"Xing Jian, thereâs no need to be upset."
True Martial King seemed to understand Elder Xingâs thoughts and immediately explained.
"You have grievances to settle with this young man, but we also have questions to ask him. Why not let me finish questioning him before you act?
After all, he is merely entering the Primordial Spirit Realm, you donât worry that he could turn the tables in front of us, do you?"
Elder Xing felt True Martial Kingâs aura and understood that even if he disagreed, this ape would intervene.
Considering the fact that he had half a foot into the Five Tribulation Realm, he could only reply coldly, "Then you may ask!"
True Martial King turned to Lu Qing and asked, "Young man, speak, where does the Raccoon spiritual beast on your shoulder come from?"
