Save the Day

Boom!!!

The heavenly might was so radiant that one could not look directly at it.

A massive phantom of an Azure Luan stood across the void, suppressing the entire area. A heavy aura of death enveloped everyone.

This was Qing Wanyue's signature killing move, the Azure Luan Transformation.

Obviously, this Pearl of the Eastern Wasteland was truly enraged, otherwise she wouldn't have used her full strength right from the start.

Some of the people present might never see a Soul Formation cultivator strike with full force in their entire lives. But today, they had the fortune to witness it, even though they were suffocating under the oppressive aura.

"No, Martial Aunt Qing, what are you doing?"

"Hit me! Why are you hitting him?"

"I'm the one disrupting the order!"

Su Xiao stared blankly at the cold-faced Qing Wanyue, completely speechless.

What else could he say?

Is there any justice left? Is there any law?

He couldn't do anything at this moment, because the moment he spoke up to persuade Qing Wanyue, his character persona would completely collapse.

But if he did nothing, the male lead would definitely die.

Thus, he could only pray to the heavens, begging for divine intervention to take away these troublemaking female leads. It was truly hopeless.

"Holy crap! Peak Master Qing is going crazy!"

"No way? But the one who provoked without reason was clearly the Eldest Senior Brother of Zixiao Peak."

"But he shouldn't hit people either."

"Even if Zixiao Peak is one hundred percent at fault, is this Ye Shu completely blameless?"

"You're truly something else, kid."

"It's over, it's over. This Ye Shu is only at the Foundation Establishment realm. He can't even compare to a peak Soul Formation cultivator."

"Look!"

"Why doesn't he have any expression?"

Just as everyone was awed by the Azure Luan phantom, someone suddenly noticed that the protagonist of this incident, Ye Shu, who was directly facing the boundless killing intent of this peerless beauty, remained completely expressionless.

He was just chewing on that piece of foxtail grass.

The root of the grass swayed slightly in the wind whipped up by the oppressive aura, and his white clothes fluttered, adding a bit of a carefree and leisurely vibe.

It made people think that he wasn't about to die in the next moment.

But rather, that he was on a spring outing.

If these people knew what Ye Shu had experienced along the way, they wouldn't be so surprised.

Ever since his debut.

Lin Qingxue wanted to kill him, Feng Mengli wanted to kill him, the shadow guards wanted to kill him, Mu Yunxi wanted to kill him, and Medusa wanted to kill him too.

Yet wasn't he still alive and well?

He had seen far too many Soul Formation cultivators in his life.

What was a mere Qing Wanyue?

Looking at the cold as ice and furious Qing Wanyue, Ye Shu actually slowly curled his lips into a smile.

"Tsk, tsk, tsk, brat, what are you laughing at?"

Medusa, who was hiding in his sleeve, saw him smile and couldn't help but mock, "Do you perhaps feel that since death is imminent, you've finally let go of everything?"

"If you beg me and call me Her Majesty the Queen!"

"I might just take the initiative to save your life, so you won't have to waste a chance to strike."

Ye Shu just gently shook his head.

"I just find it ridiculous."

"Don't you think so? Attacking me right off the bat without distinguishing right from wrong, what kind of logic is that?"

"Cultivating the Dao and cultivating the heart, where did all that cultivation go?"

"Heh, this is just how the world is."

Medusa sneered, "A bigger fist is the absolute truth. The weak are prey to the strong. The strong can do whatever they want. You are just at Foundation Establishment, and she is at Soul Formation. If she kills you, she kills you. Does she need a reason? Does she need to talk about morality and ethics?"

Hearing this, Ye Shu just said calmly:

"What era is this? Still playing that Social Darwinism game. If the weak are prey to the strong, how is that any different from wild beasts? Humans are always progressing, not regressing."

"Attempting to reverse the course of history and promoting those old, rotten things is either stupid or evil."

"You cannot understand the human race's sense of propriety, justice, integrity, and honor because you simply cannot perceive the heights that human spiritual realms can reach. So, you can only use your narrow-minded thoughts to speculate about everyone in the world. You think it's impossible for humans not to be selfish, and impossible for humans to care about the weak."

"Because you simply cannot break through your own narrow-mindedness, you promote the so-called theory of human nature."

"But the reality is."

"The prosperity of the human race can never be separated from rules, the prosperity of the human race can never be separated from mutual assistance, and the prosperity of the human race can never do without the strong who were once weak."

Medusa was left speechless by his words.

But she still snorted coldly.

"After saying all that, if she wants to kill you, she'll kill you. Do you have any way out? No, right."

"That's why I restrain myself from becoming like them."

Ye Shu's gaze gradually turned cold, "And then, after becoming strong, I'll make these idiots realize their mistakes."

"As for now... I need to survive."

His right hand quietly grasped a jade pendant overflowing with fluorescent light. He injected spiritual energy into it and stared coldly at Qing Wanyue in front of him.

If Medusa took action, it would easily cause misunderstandings.

So it was better to use Senior Brother's jade pendant.

Meanwhile, on the other side, at the Peak Masters' seating area.

Watching the chaos below.

Perfected Hunyuan couldn't help but click his tongue in wonder.

"Good, good, good. This is a good thing."

He hadn't expected that before he even made a move, the Qingxuan Sect would play such tricks themselves, unreasonably targeting someone who came to pay respects at the disciple recruitment ceremony, and even trying to kill them.

Even the demonic path wouldn't do something like this!

He only needed to record this scene, make tens of thousands of copies, and spread them out. It would deal an immeasurable blow to the Qingxuan Sect's reputation.

Weakening the number one faction in the Eastern Wasteland.

To him, that would be a massive achievement!

Thinking about this, Perfected Hunyuan couldn't help but laugh. Who would have thought the Qingxuan Sect would self-destruct?

Suddenly.

A cold and clear voice rang in his ear.

"My husband is being bullied, and you are very happy?" The purple-clad woman turned her head and stared at him coldly.

"This... I... I wouldn't dare..."

Perfected Hunyuan instantly sweated profusely.

He was so focused on watching the show that he almost forgot that the person being targeted was the Holy Maiden's husband!

"If he loses a single hair, you know the consequences," the purple-clad woman said indifferently.

Perfected Hunyuan nodded repeatedly.

"Understood, understood..."

What the hell was this? If he intervened, on the surface, he was still a Peak Master of the Qingxuan Sect. This would simply turn into Qingluan Peak being unreasonable, and the effect of the recording stone would be greatly reduced.

But looking at the Holy Maiden's expression.

Perfected Hunyuan could only swallow his grievances.

There was no helping it. Who asked her to be the Holy Maiden?

At the same time, Chu Jinghong, who was setting up a stall in the corner of the plaza, had just adjusted his emotions and turned to look at the plaza.

The crowd was discussing animatedly, and the phantom entrenched the sky.

"Damn, Junior Brother Lu, this looks like Martial Aunt Qing of Qingluan Peak's Azure Luan Transformation. Which unlucky bastard made her angry? So pitiful."

He looked closely and let out an exclamation.

"Holy crap! Why is it Junior Brother Ye!"

"Junior Brother Lu, you..."

He turned his head, wanting to call Lu Shouzhuo, only to find that there was no one beside him anymore.

And at the exact same time.

Qing Wanyue's sword momentum had already taken shape.

She stared coldly at Ye Shu in front of her. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes due to his calmness, but it stopped there.

"Die," she said.

As the voice faded, the Azure Bird descended from the sky, bearing the majestic might of heaven. It hurtled straight toward Ye Shu, exuding a terrifying pressure that left everyone breathless.

In an instant, Qing Wanyue appeared in front of Ye Shu.

She slashed out with her sword!

But right at this critical juncture!

Clack—

A broom gently pressed down upon the tip of Qing Wanyue's blade.
