Elder, shall we not speak out

That voice was not loud, yet it carried a lazy, seductive charm.

Like an invisible little hand, it gently scratched the tip of everyone's heart.

The plaza, originally so oppressive it felt almost solidified, instantly rippled outwards.

Everyone's movements came to a halt as they turned their heads in unison toward the source of the voice.

That face was naturally enchanting. Her peach-blossom eyes rippled like water; with just a casual glance, one felt as if half their soul had been snatched away.

"It's... It's someone from the Kuitian Holy Land!"

In the crowd, someone recognized the cloud and gear emblem on the woman's Daoist robe and let out an uncontrollable gasp.

This gasp was like a lit fuse on a powder keg.

"The Kuitian Holy Land? They're finally here!"

"Hahaha, we have a good show to watch! I said this brat named Su wouldn't be arrogant for long!"

"The Holy Land has arrived in person. Let's see how he can still be arrogant now! Serves him right!"

The various cultivators who had been scared into absolute silence by Su Ji just a moment ago now showed no trace of fear on their faces. One by one, they became energized, whispering to each other, their expressions filled with schadenfreude as they looked at Su Ji in the main seat.

It felt just like a group of villagers who had been bullied miserably by a local tyrant, finally welcoming the arrival of the government's constables.

They could almost already see the miserable outcome of Su Ji being publicly suppressed by the Holy Land's experts, kneeling on the ground and begging for mercy.

In the main seat, the leisurely expression on Su Ji's face finally changed.

His swinging crossed leg came to a stop. He furrowed his brows slightly and looked at the uninvited, enchanting woman with an expression that carried just the right amount of displeasure at being interrupted.

"Who are you?"

"Can you represent the Kuitian Holy Land?"

Su Jiu stood quietly behind Su Ji without saying a word.

This guy is acting again.

That enchanting woman, who was none other than the Second Elder of the Kuitian Holy Land, turned a deaf ear to Su Ji's question.

She didn't even spare a glance at Su Ji in the main seat. Instead, she looked with great interest at the surrounding sect representatives who dared to be angry but didn't dare to speak.

Her red lips parted slightly, letting out a soft sigh that seemed full of pity.

"Oh my, look here. These are all prominent figures of the Great Xia, how did everyone end up in such a sorry state?"

She covered her mouth and chuckled softly. Her peach-blossom eyes swept across the entire venue before finally, slowly, landing on Su Ji.

"Sect Master Su, what great prestige, what great murderous aura."

"I just wonder, this prestige of Sect Master Su, in front of my Kuitian Holy Land..."

She paused, her red lips curving into an icy arc.

"Is it still enough?"

As her voice fell, a majestic aura belonging to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm explosively erupted from her body!

This aura was more than a notch stronger than the previous Elder of the Qingfeng Sect. It was condensed and heavy, like a massive mountain pressing straight toward Su Ji in the main seat!

The cultivators below the stage were forced to retreat repeatedly by this aura. Those with weaker cultivation bases even turned pale and found it difficult to breathe.

Their eyes shone with excitement as they stared intently at the high platform, anticipating the scene where Su Ji would be pressed to his knees, coughing up blood under this coercion.

However, the expected scene did not occur.

That aura, sufficient to crush a mountain, was blocked by an invisible force three feet away from Su Ji, unable to advance even an inch further.

Behind Su Ji, Li Fan, holding a broadsword, took half a step forward. An unadorned yet incomparably sharp sword intent emanated from his body. Although it was somewhat strained, it still completely neutralized the Second Elder's aura.

The Second Elder's pupils shrank imperceptibly.

Stormy waves surged in her heart.

Let alone Su Ji making a move, even if she wanted to take down this elder, it would require a bitter fight.

She reckoned the Holy Lord would have the crap beaten out of him later.

It seemed she had to put on a good act next to show her loyalty.

...

Su Ji acted as if he hadn't felt the danger just now at all. He even shifted into a more comfortable posture, crossing his legs again.

"I was wondering who it was. So it's someone from the Kuitian Holy Land."

He curled his lips, his tone full of disdain.

"What, was it not enough that your First Elder was beaten by me until he knelt and begged for mercy, so you sent a woman to die?"

"Or is it that your Kuitian Holy Land... has already gathered one million high-grade spirit stones and sent you to pay off the debt?"

As soon as these words came out, the entire venue was in an uproar!

Although there had long been rumors, no one expected that Su Ji would dare to so bluntly expose this matter, which was enough to completely ruin the Holy Land's reputation, right in front of a Kuitian Holy Land elder!

The seductive smile on the Second Elder's face finally froze for a moment.

She didn't expect Su Ji to leave absolutely no leeway.

However, she quickly adjusted herself, and the smile on her face became even more coquettish.

"Sect Master Su is joking."

"The First Elder is advanced in years and happened to catch a cold, which is why he carelessly fell into the trap of a villain."

She casually attributed the First Elder's miserable defeat to carelessness, and then her tone shifted, her voice suddenly turning cold.

"However, my Kuitian Holy Land has always been clear on rewards and punishments."

"Those with merit shall be rewarded."

"Those with faults must be punished!"

She walked up the high platform step by step. That aura belonging to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core realm climbed once again, fiercely colliding with Li Fan's sword intent in the air and letting out bursts of silent roaring.

"Su Ji!"

The Second Elder's voice was like the frigid ice of the Nine Underworlds, lacking any trace of seductive charm.

"You killed my Holy Land's disciples and humiliated my Holy Land's elder. Each and every one of these acts warrants the crime of sect extermination!"

"But the Holy Lord is merciful. Considering that your cultivation was not easy, he is willing to give you a chance to turn over a new leaf!"

Hearing this, the spirits of the crowd below the stage were all lifted!

It's here!

The main point has finally arrived!

Everyone held their breath, wanting to hear what kind of merciful conditions the Kuitian Holy Land would offer.

Su Ji finally sat up straight. He looked at the Second Elder with great interest and made a please gesture.

"Oh? Let's hear it."

The Second Elder stopped three paces away from Su Ji. Looking down at him from a height, she slowly extended three fair fingers.

"First, cripple your own cultivation! An arrogant and rebellious fool like you does not deserve to possess power!"

"Second, the Xiangsi Sect shall cede three spirit stone veins to my Kuitian Holy Land as an apology!"

"Third..."

Saying this, the Second Elder paused deliberately, a cruel smile appearing on her face.

"Compensate our Holy Land's First Elder for his emotional distress with two million... high-grade spirit stones!"

Boom!

As soon as these three conditions were stated, the entire plaza instantly erupted!

Cripple his own cultivation! Cede spirit stone veins! Compensate with two million high-grade spirit stones!

How was this giving him a chance? This was clearly trying to drive Su Ji to his death and trample the entire Xiangsi Sect into the mud!

"Hahaha, the Holy Land is mighty!"

"Su Ji, you brat, you must be dumbfounded now!"

"Be arrogant, let's see you be arrogant again! Why aren't you speaking?"

A red-haired middle-aged man from the Blood Fiend Sect was the first to jump out. He pointed at Su Ji and laughed loudly, venting all the pent-up frustration he had just suffered.

"Sect Master Su, the Kuitian Holy Land is magnanimous. Why aren't you quickly kneeling down to thank them for their grace!"

The demonesses of the Joyous Union Sect also chimed in with coquettish laughter.

"That's right, Sect Master Su. With your heaven-defying means, surely two million high-grade spirit stones is nothing to you?"

The sect representatives who had previously been forced to offer heavy tribute now eagerly stepped forward to kick him while he was down.

"Su Ji! You demon, surrender at once!"

"The Holy Land is delivering heaven's justice, and we are willing to lend our strength!"

In an instant, the crowd boiled over with righteous fury.

Everyone directed their hostility at Su Ji, as if he had become a universal public enemy whom everyone had the right to strike down.

Only the disciples of the Qingfeng Sect looked in confusion at their newly awakened elder, voicing a single question: "Elder, are we not going to speak up?"
