Chapter 117: The Shocking Gate Sect (Fourth Update)

  "That's right! This kid has clearly offended Long Bingyan. Long Bingyan is a divine concubine, and behind her is the support of the divine son. If we let this kid grow up, won't it be creating a great enemy for the divine son, causing internal strife and waste in our Shenyue Sect? Rather than that, it's better to just kill him. Take away his Dao lineage and give it to Long Bingyan, which would also be giving the divine son a favor. To avoid future internal conflicts within the sect!"

  Another person said coldly, "This is actually the Great Elder of Suppressing Demons."

  "Law-Abiding Elder, make your move! This kid has only triggered the True Dragon's protection, and clearly can't control this power yet. Otherwise, this True Dragon's power would be coming straight for you! Since we've started, let's see it through to the end, lest we invite trouble and chaos!"

  The Great Elder Fugodao said calmly.

  He talks about killing people as if it were slaughtering chickens, that bone-chilling aura of having killed countless people makes one's hair stand on end!

  This speech was long in coming, but it was over in a flash, and it was all over in an instant.

  "That's enough!"

  A soft rebuke, and the heavens shook. This consciousness was calm and tranquil, not appearing to be overbearing in any way, nor as cold and stern as the three great elders who subdued demons, quelled goblins, and subdued gods.

  However, the kind of pressure contained in this consciousness is far beyond anyone present. Even the three elders of Demon Subduing, Monster Taming and God Suppressing are not an exception.

  That will to contend with heaven and earth, indestructible and immortal, is even more superior to all of you elders.

  "Hum!"

  Above the peak of the verdict, the void splits open, a young man in blue robes stands with his hands behind his back and steps out.

  In his mind, a bright day, light shines for thousands of miles, more dazzling than the sun.

  "Deputy Sect Leader!!"

  Upon seeing this young man, the Guardian Elder was greatly shocked. Including all the Elders, they lowered their heads. Even the three great Elders of Subduing Demons, Quelling Fiends and Submitting Spirits revealed a submissive expression.

  This young man in front of him was just a strand of the deputy leader of the Shen Xiao Sect. However, this strand alone was already incredibly powerful!

  The Deputy Sect Master of Shen Xiao Sect, his cultivation is profound and immeasurable!

  Even the three elders of subduing demons, suppressing monsters and submitting gods did not dare to make reckless guesses.

  Rumors have it that this young deputy sect leader is cultivating a shocking and astonishing divine technique in the depths of some mysterious space-time. If successfully cultivated, he will possess unimaginable divine powers, completely suppressing the deputy sect leaders of both Mount Tushita and Mount Tai'a.

  Under the Cai Dian Peak, Lin Xi was motionless. The golden light that burst out of his body had completely disappeared. The nine-clawed Golden Dragon illusion he formed also vanished without a trace.

  The young man in blue robes just glanced at Lin Xi and immediately withdrew his gaze.

  It's only natural that his cultivation would show. Lin Xi had used up more energy than he could handle, exceeding his own limits, and as a result, he was drained and temporarily fainted.

  "I already know everything about what happened before and after. Let's just end it here!"

  The young man in blue robes said faintly that it was just one sentence, and the trial on Caixuan Peak came to an end, sparing Lin Xi's life!

  "But Deputy Master, if you let this child off, what about the Divine Son's side? Dragon Ice Color probably won't be willing to accept it. After all, Dragon Ice Color is the Divine Concubine, and with so many people watching, she represents the Divine Son's face. If you reject him, it's equivalent to rejecting the Divine Son's face. I'm afraid if the Divine Son finds out, he won't be too happy! Moreover, if this child becomes arrogant, in the future, he might oppose the Divine Son, wouldn't that lead to internal strife within the sect?"

  The Great Elder Fugod looked somewhat unwilling.

  "Yes! For a small named disciple, it's really not necessary to offend the divine son. After all, he is the future master who will inherit our Shenyue Sect's great tradition! As for Lin Xi's Dao lineage, directly stripping him of it and granting it to another disciple... This isn't without precedent in other Xian Dao sects!"

  The Great Elder of Town Demon also said.

  "You don't need to say anything more! Long Bingyan is Long Bingyan, and Shenzi is Shenzi. I believe that even with Shenzi's broad-mindedness, it shouldn't be a problem to accommodate a small disciple like Lin Xi. Moreover, although Lin Xi may be surprising, there is still a huge gap between him and Shenzi. For the time being, he can't even become Shenzi's opponent, let alone pose a threat."

  The deputy leader of the Shenxia Sect paused for a moment, then continued: "Even if there really is infighting within the sect, it's not necessarily a bad thing. To inherit the position of sect leader, one must go through countless hardships and defeat numerous opponents. Only the strongest has the qualifications to inherit our Shenxia Sect's great tradition! As for the matter of stripping away the orthodox lineage, you all don't need to mention it again from now on. Have you all forgotten about the 'Gate of Life' incident?"

  "Ah!"

  As soon as this was said, all the elders were shocked. Obviously they knew the inside story.

  This matter involves some secrets of the Shenyue Sect and the Xian Dao Great World.

  For some low-level artifacts, as long as they are refined and cultivated, they can be used immediately. However, few people know that for some top-level artifacts, it's not just the person who chooses the artifact, but also the artifact that chooses its master. There are some mysterious and unpredictable artifacts that even if obtained, will not easily acknowledge their master. Instead, they will only go in search of a master with whom they resonate. If they cannot find their destined master, they will slumber for thousands or even tens of thousands of years, and no matter what, they cannot be awakened.

  The "Gate of Life" of the Shenye Sect is like this, and the Shenye Sect has tried all methods to awaken this dormant artifact spirit. Until now, no one knows what the true face and abilities of this "Gate of Life" are.

  Even if you get it, it's useless.

  Shen Xiao Zong placed the "Gate of Life" on the inner gate, allowing all disciples to enter. In fact, he also hoped that some disciples could be recognized by the "Gate of Life", and thus awaken their spiritual energy.

  "Deputy Sect Leader, what you're saying is that this young man's Dao lineage has actually become so powerful?"

  An elder said.

  "It's not easy to say. But with the Nine-Clawed Golden Dragon protecting him, it's already a big deal. I suspect it has something to do with the ancient Holy Emperors. —— You should also know about the Gate of Life. Even if we've had it for several thousand years, it still doesn't care about us at all. I'm worried that if we forcibly take away this young man's Dao heritage, a situation similar to the Gate of Life will occur, where it remains silent and ignores us for thousands of years. Not to mention acknowledging allegiance!"

  The deputy leader of Shen Xiao Sect said calmly.

  As soon as this was said, all the elders fell silent. If Lin Xi's Taoist lineage was really so powerful, then it would indeed be only him who could inherit it.

  "But the Caizheng Peak was originally under my jurisdiction. Today's trial, all disciples of the sect saw it. If the deputy sect leader insists on intervening today, I will find it difficult to convince the public in the future, which is a small matter. It would ruin our Shenyue Sect's rules, which is a big deal! Once this precedent is set, it's likely to be a disaster rather than a blessing!"

  The old preceptor still had some resentment in his heart. He made a decision and brought out the sect rules.

  The Xian Dao sect has a strict hierarchy, where all elders have their own duties and are not allowed to overstep each other's authority. This is the internal rule of the sect for its elders.

  The protector elder is clearing the door at Caizheng Peak, and all disciples are watching. If it's abandoned halfway, it will be a huge blow later on.

  "Mt. Judgement is indeed within your jurisdiction, but if you break the rules, it's not necessarily so."

  The deputy leader of Shen Xiao Sect seemed to be hinting at something.

  "What does 'Deputy Sect Leader' mean?"

  The old monk said.

  At this moment, a lazy voice came from the east of the sky: "The deputy master means that this kid is no longer within your sole jurisdiction. Li Lao Tou, don't you know? This kid has recently passed the promotion hall assessment and became an official disciple. As a registered disciple, you have the right to kill independently, but an official disciple is not within your jurisdiction. Our Law Enforcement Hall also has a share!"

  "It's impossible!!"

  The Guardian Elder's face turned iron-green. He had just received news that Lin Xi was only a nominal disciple.

  Named disciples are not considered formal disciples and fall within his own jurisdiction.

  Not to mention being a deputy leader, even if he were the leader himself, it would be beyond his authority. This isn't saying that this protector elder is particularly formidable, but rather the scope of his duties!

  He has the power of life and death over his registered disciples, which is a privilege of being the Guardian Elder.

  But if Lin Xi is a formal disciple, it's different. Not only does the Guardian Temple have jurisdiction, but the Law Enforcement Temple also has jurisdiction in this area, which is confusing.

  Once a dispute arises, it is reasonable for the deputy leader to intervene. It can also be considered as not overstepping the rules.

  "Heh heh, if you don't believe me, go check the Promotion Wall. With your cultivation, it shouldn't take much time."

  The voice of the law enforcement elder was languid.

  His voice fell, "Clang", a iron plaque flashed, in an instant it pierced through the void and was inserted in front of the Guardian Elder on the peak of Judgment.

  "Li Jidao, you've done a good deed!"

  The old monk's face looked unpleasant, and it was clear that he had also investigated the matter clearly in such a short period of time.

  "Alright! Let's put an end to this matter. Everyone, withdraw. Law Elder, you too."

  In the sky, a young man in blue robes waved his hand and said calmly but without any room for doubt.

  "Yes, Deputy Master!"

  In front of the deputy abbot, a verbal dispute is one thing, but being disobedient is another matter altogether.

  In the blink of an eye, the powerful thoughts hovering above the peak of judgment retreated like a tide. The dense and numerous thunderclouds also dispersed in an instant!

  "Elder Guardian, you don't have to worry either. I will personally take care of this matter and it won't tarnish the reputation of the Guardian Temple. You don't need to concern yourself with what happens next."

  The young man in blue robes said calmly.

  "Yes, Deputy Master!"

  If the chief of the law enforcement agency doesn't back down at this point, it's a whole different story. The nature of the matter will be much more severe!

  "Hum!"

  A young man in blue robes snapped his fingers, and a powerful sealing barrier immediately descended from the sky, covering the entire Decisive Peak.

  "Alright, Lin Xi, you've heard enough. Wake up!"

  The young man in blue robes waved his hand, and a stream of immortal energy silently entered Lin Xi's body, instantly healing the injuries inside him.

  Lin Xi actually woke up and has been awake for some time.

  In the void, those powerful thoughts, each one is as vast as the universe, he can't see them, but can feel them clearly.

  Lin Xi also wanted to see how the elders would deal with themselves. Also want to see, in the Shenyue Sect, is there still a bit of fairness? Is there a place worth staying!

  At this time, Lin Xi heard the voice of the young man in blue and knew he couldn't deceive him. He immediately opened his eyes, which were still bloodshot.

  "Long Bingyan, you're the same too. All of you come up here."

  The young man in blue robes said calmly.

  Long Bingyan's heart slightly chilled, but she still stepped forward and saluted: "Long Bingyan greets the Deputy Master!"

  In this regard, Long Bingyan has more experience than Lin Xi.

  Only Lin Xi didn't move and was still standing in his original position.

  The young man in blue just smiled and didn't mind at all.
