Chapter 929: Chapter 404: Facing Evergreen_2

"At least cut him three times!"

He didn’t use secret whispering techniques, nor did he lower his voice; instead, he intentionally spoke loudly, shouting so far that his words spread instantly. All factions and cultivators swiftly distanced themselves from him and the Dao Sect people to differentiate themselves.

After all, the gaze of the Evergreen Immortal Venerable was clearly scanning the entire scene. Every action of the crowd would not escape his attention. For Xiang Yuntian to dare speak like that, calling him an old relic and threatening to cut him? It’s sheer provocation and disrespect towards the Evergreen Immortal Venerable!

It’s truly asking for death.

...

Thousands of cultivators kneeled.

From the southeast sky, there was a hint of auspicious clouds blooming, naturally bringing forth a silhouette.

It was a middle-aged man clad in a pale cyan robe. Scholarly, elegant beyond measure, his features were clearly defined, with an air of grace amidst his heroic presence. There was no exaggerated immortal radiance. Just his appearance alone exuded a spring breeze-like aura, as if facing not an undefeated Immortal Venerable from heaven and earth, but a learned and charming scholar.

It was indeed the Evergreen Immortal Venerable!

He glanced at the crowd, his figure already in the center, with just a gesture, Qi Yue Fairy was suddenly compelled against her will, her form shifted through the void right before him.

Qi Yue Fairy’s face transformed with fear and terror in her eyes, yet in front of him, she couldn’t move. Evergreen Immortal Venerable raised his hand, and the blood-colored small sword fell into his grip.

"The Celestial Corpse Small Sword, having tasted Sub-Venerable blood, is indeed considered a treasure between heaven and earth."

With a sigh, Evergreen Immortal Venerable lamented, "Alas, it drank my disciple’s blood."

He didn’t kill Qi Yue Fairy, but instead looked towards Purple Fairy, saying, "If you wish to become the ruler of the Heavenly Court, all it needed was to tell me, why kill your senior sister?"

Purple Fairy lightly bit her lip, meeting the gaze of Evergreen Immortal Venerable, remaining silent yet with complexity in her eyes.

Evergreen Immortal Venerable was, after all, her mentor. She, like Lihua, Qi Yue Fairy, and others to Li An, had always held Evergreen Immortal Venerable in utmost respect and vowed fealty.

Yet now she discovered the path Evergreen Immortal Venerable intended to walk was so venomous and treacherous, sacrificing the innocent; the divide between mentor and disciple was established...

"Indeed, you aren’t hiding anything from me."

Evergreen Immortal Venerable’s face flashed a hint of sighing, saying, "You are my most cherished disciple; even if you murdered your senior sister, you might not need to die."

"I might not even inquire about this matter."

"However, you should never have refined Longevity White Mist into yourself..."

His words didn’t cover up, calmly and clearly reaching into every cultivator’s ear within the scene.

Instantly, everyone was amazed.

Especially the group of Daluo Golden Immortals!

"Purple Fairy refined Longevity White Mist?"

"No wonder, no wonder she’s so powerful, even Great Monarch Red Spear isn’t her match..."

"She touched the forbidden!"

Previously during the great battle, Purple Fairy concealed it well, plus her cultivation was Sub-Venerable, so they didn’t notice.

Originally perplexed, Yunxi, Ye Cauldron, Celestial Monarch Eastern, and others immediately received clarity!

No wonder Purple Fairy could break through to Sub-Venerable cultivation...

No wonder Evergreen Immortal Venerable, who shouldn’t have appeared, showed up!

With shock in their eyes, many began looking at An Li.

Ye Cauldron and others... felt a sense of betrayal and betrayal!

An Li’s promised plan was to annihilate Hongbo Fairy and have Purple Fairy ascend.

But Purple Fairy refined Longevity White Mist!

This is intolerable by the two Immortal Venerables as a taboo!

For cultivators at the Daluo Golden Immortal level, should they acquire Longevity White Mist, they might threaten the interests of the two Immortal Venerables, thus, Purple Fairy killing Hongbo Fairy might not lure the Immortal Venerable, but refining Longevity White Mist certainly would.

Yet An Li didn’t inform them prior to this point...

"Were we... manipulated?"

Ye Cauldron’s face held an expression of anger yet wanting to laugh, saying, "Persons chosen by Li An, how could we trust them..."

An Li and Purple Fairy seemingly disregarded their interests!

Once Purple Fairy refined the mist, it surely would bring forth Immortal Venerables, making it impossible to fulfill their promise.

Yet An Li concealed this fact, tricking them into the fray.

"His real intent was for Purple Fairy to strike for the Immortal Venerable position. If Purple Fairy succeeded, acquiring a strand of Longevity White Mist, she could stand alongside Evergreen and Yunluo, while we are mere pawns!"

"Calculations!"

Other Celestial Silkworm and people alike felt a sudden realization, a sense of anger yet absurdity among the heroes.

As a group of Daluo Golden Immortals, ultimately they were just pawns of a humble Daoist Sect Leader...

How could they not be angry? How could it not be absurd?

And An Li at this moment, remained silent, merely watching the development of the situation in the center quietly.

...

Evergreen Immortal Venerable paid no heed to the commotion among the crowd.

The battle for immortality disallowed others from coveting. He came this time to thwart Purple Fairy from taking that step and to warn others.

Do not entertain any thoughts.

Otherwise, even his direct disciple won’t be forgiven!

"We were once mentor and disciple, relinquish Longevity White Mist, self-annihilate your cultivation, and I’ll still grant you a peaceful existence for the rest of your life."

Evergreen Immortal Venerable spoke nondiscriminately to Purple Fairy.

Purple Fairy sighed, didn’t respond in discourse but said, "Master, I received endless teachings from you."

"In years past, when you were the head of the Evergreen Palace in the old Heavenly Court, you laid down palace rules, taking disciples not based on talent or qualification first, but selected based on disposition, seeking those virtuous, and palace rules specifically required disciples to travel the world, doing good and amassing virtue."
