"You, He Yuanzun, are shameless and immoral with a narrow mind. No wonder you've always been stuck in the Great Vehicle, making no progress. I fear you'll never be able to reach that threshold in this lifetime!"

"If today's events were to spread across the five continents, I could still make you a laughingstock. What's wrong with that?!"

Lin Qi has always been a person who knows when to stop.

She knows when to bend over and when to stand up straight.

But that doesn't mean she has no bottom line and dignity.

Both Master He Yuan and the Lord of Qingyun Pavilion wanted her dead. Now, Master An's willingness to protect her is not very strong.

If she were really going to die, she couldn't just die for nothing!

Humiliated, Xiang He pleaded with the Yuan Zun, saying that as long as he flattered them, he could live.

Hehehe, I'm afraid it will only die silently!

Lin Qi also has a bit of arrogance in her bones.

She couldn't stand this humiliation!

He Yuanzun sneered, "Then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

With a flick of his palm, before it could even come down, the venerable Im An had already made the first move.

A sudden flurry of snow blanketed the entire world, covering the fairy pond at Tianshan in an instant with frost and flying snowflakes.

A frost painted her face. "Hè Yuán, if you insist on making a move, don't blame me for being impolite!"

"A great cultivator of the Mahayana, making a move against a Golden Core disciple? Are you not ashamed?"

Tianyizong is one of the weakest of the Five Great Sects, being constantly suppressed by Bihaige and Wutai Jiange, both in terms of the number of Mahayana cultivators and the number of Nascent Soul and Divine Transformation cultivators.

Now the Venerable is accustomed to compromise, making concessions for the sake of the sect's interests, enduring a moment's anger...Enduring and enduring, his temper gradually disappeared.

Today, I saw the two young disciples, Lin Qi and Ye Jian, facing the Great? Venerable. Their faces showed no fear whatsoever, they were ready to face death with courage.

Her heart was touched, and she felt a surge of power welling up inside her. She refused to back down any further.

Now that the venerable one has made a move, several other sect's Mahayana cultivators couldn't help but step forward to advise him.

If the Venerable Anzun and the Venerable He yuan were to fight here, the Heaven-Crossing Immortal Spring would surely become a ruin. Their disciples behind them would also be in danger of being caught in the crossfire.

Only they could persuade Grand Master Jin'an, but not Grand Master He Yuan.

Still, another great master of Bihai Pavilion, the venerable Fucang Ancestor, suddenly spoke up to advise.

As a great bodhisattva, it's unbecoming of you to stoop to the level of this young boy.

Hearing his words, the resolute Crane Yuan venerable laughed dismissively, but then changed his mind.

"I could spare your life!"

His gaze fell on Lin Qi, as if saying he wouldn't kill Lin Qi was a great favor.

Lin Qi coldly looked at him.

"Hèyuán Zūnzhě then slowly said, "If you can withstand one move from me, after that move, whether you live or die, I will take responsibility for avenging my grandson."

When this statement was made, few people present had a happy face.

What are the chances of survival if a Jindan cultivator faces a Da Cheng cultivator's attack?

practically zero.

He Yuanzun clearly didn't want to let Lin Qi go, but he was afraid of making things too ugly and harming his reputation, so he made this so-called compromise.

At this moment, everyone suddenly understood that Lin Qi had started to provoke fearlessly.

It's better to fight the Venerable Fate head-on, at least if you die you'll have a name worthy of respect.

But at this point, no one was going to try and stop him anymore.

Even the venerable Fu Cang stood aside, arms akimbo, appearing as if he had nothing to do with this matter.

Now, the Venerable is unwilling. The cold light of the sword in her hand stands ready, with flying frost weaving everywhere, adding a few points of coldness to her gentle eyebrows and eyes.

What you call regression is simply a way of demanding the life of a disciple from my Tianyitang.

Then let's fight!

"When I'm dead, you can walk over my grave and then talk about killing Lin Qi!"

Someone advised Jin An the Venerable, "Things have come to this, you must let He Yuan release the anger in his heart."

Then he persuaded Master He again, saying, "How can a Jindan disciple withstand your attack? Since you've already retreated, why not retreat further? You can slightly suppress your cultivation to that of a Yuanying."

What's a good move?

Now, Venerable One, your brows and eyes hold a cold intent, smiling faintly, "I am the Venerable One of Tianyi Sect! I am enshrined by Tianyi Sect."

Now, looking at others venting their anger on the Tian Yizong disciples, I remain unmoved… This Venerable's actions are truly interesting.

Normally a soft-tempered person, Izanagi suddenly hardened his stance, making it difficult for others to advise him.

After the initial anger had passed, Master He Yuan instead displayed a tolerant and conciliatory attitude.

Whether it was the revered Master's refusal that gave him pause, or fear of time dragging on to his detriment, he couldn't say.

He Yuanzun spoke leisurely, "It's not impossible."

"I will press down my cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage. If she can withstand one move from me, then all grievances and past conflicts will be wiped clean!"

He smiled enigmatically and asked, "Or perhaps Master Jiān'ān is still unwilling to have a life-or-death battle with me?"

His question put a great deal of pressure on the present-day Anzun.

Master He Yuan has already entered the Great Vehicle and is one of the top ten powerful figures in Nanzhou.

Although the venerable one just recently broke through, it was still with the help of external forces. Currently, their realm is only stable.

If something happens to her, Tianyitong will suffer a huge loss.

That is why Master He Yuan was very confident that Master An would agree to his request.

The <<<<<< silent standoff seemed like a mental battle. >>

Now, the fighting spirit that the venerable one had so hard-won to maintain was being dissolved invisibly, collapsing inch by inch.

She subconsciously weighed the pros and cons of the situation.

If Master He Yuan were to suppress his cultivation to the Nascent Soul stage and make a move... it shouldn't be fatal, right?

As soon as she had a moment of wavering, a resolute and crisp sound suddenly rang out from behind her.

"Great!"

"I accept this challenge!"

Lin Qi clenched her fists, her face cold as she looked at He Yuan Zun.

She knew that Crane Yuan was deliberately pushing her.

Tianyi Zong doesn't have that many great Arhat masters in total.

If the esteemed one meets with misfortune now, the Heavenly One Sect's power will weaken further. In the future, they will only face more oppression, not less.

This was the first time in eight years since Lin Qi arrived at Tianyi Sect that he so strongly felt the sect's weakness.

The weaker side, anyone can come up and kick you.

When trouble arises, everyone advises you to compromise and make concessions.

Even when others bully you, you can just make up an excuse.

Rules and reasons are for the weak!

After Lin Qi realized all of this, she desperately wanted to become stronger, but on the surface, she still looked cold.

I agreed to the request made by Crane Yuanzun.

"After one move, Xi He's death is settled!"

"Great!"

Before Master Jian'an could offer any further persuasion, Master He Yuan burst into laughter and readily agreed.

"You do have some backbone, it's a shame you couldn't join me at the Bi Hai Pavilion."

Lin Qi chuckled sarcastically, "Xihe Fairy is jealous of others' talents and abilities. I bet she wouldn't have lived to see today if she had entered Bihai Pavilion."

Thinking about it this way, Lin Qi is quite fortunate.

If she really entered the Bihai Pavilion, she was probably going to be completely cut off before she even showed her face.

The triumph and mockery on her face successfully enraged the Venerable Crane.

Crane Yuan, though seemingly unfazed on the surface, felt his anger burning like wildfire in his heart.

Okay, no need to beat around the bush!

After saying that, he suppressed his cultivation, from Mahayana to Nascent Soul, and finally to Core Formation.
