Chapter 982: Chapter 624: So-Called Righteousness, Fish on the Chopping Block, First to Strike

When they saw who appeared, both Ba Chunqiu and the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect had their expressions tense up, and their auras slowly receded.

"Mystic Sword, what do you mean by this?" Ba Chunqiu stared at the person, "Could it be that your Heavenly Sword Sect also wants to intervene and oppose me? Very well, then you all come at me together!"

It turned out that the person blocking them was Mystic Sword Elder from the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Others in the Primordial Spirit Realm saw this scene and had expressions of amusement.

The relationships among top powers are often intricate and complex.

Just like between the Overlord Clan and the Heavenly Sword Sect, Ba Tian and Shen Cangfeng had a good relationship, but there was old resentment between Ba Chunqiu and Mystic Sword Elder.

It is said that when they were young, they were also friends, but later due to competing for the affection of a certain Major Sect’s Holy Daughter, they ended up falling out.

Although it never reached the point of deadly enmity, they ended up becoming strangers who no longer communicated.

Seeing Mystic Sword Elder step forward now, no wonder Ba Chunqiu’s expression was unfriendly.

"Not at all, I simply don’t want you two to engage in a large-scale fight here. Both of you are the pillars of our Human Race.

If you fight to the death over such a trivial matter, regardless of who falls, it is a loss to our Human Race and will ultimately benefit the Demon Clan."

Mystic Sword Elder solemnly said.

"Is that so? I don’t recall you, Mystic Sword, as someone with such a big picture mentality. A despicable person like you must be scheming something again, right?"

However, Ba Chunqiu did not believe his nonsense at all and directly mocked him.

"Actually, the dispute between you two is simply due to the opportunity surrounding this young man. Since that is the case, why not sit down and discuss it calmly?"

Facing Ba Chunqiu’s sarcasm, Mystic Sword Elder was not angry but still advised with a smile.

"What’s there to discuss? I am determined to protect this person, and whoever dares to touch him is opposing the Overlord Clan!" Ba Chunqiu still made no concession.

"Chunqiu, your words have no meaning."

Mystic Sword Elder saw that Ba Chunqiu was relentless, and his smile also faded a bit.

"No one here is a fool. Everyone knows your intentions; your Overlord Clan wants to monopolize the opportunity. Do you think the fellow Daoists will agree? Anyway, let’s all sit down and discuss it to avoid disharmony."

"Indeed, this person in the secret realm not only robbed the disciples of the Lanhai Sect but also harmed the disciples of our Xuanyuan Sect. There must be an explanation."

At this time, another Primordial Spirit Realm spoke.

It was the Primordial Spirit Realm Elder of the Xuanyuan Sect.

"Our disciples were also robbed by him, so there must be an explanation!"

Several other Primordial Spirit Realm members stood up.

"Predecessor Ba Chunqiu, I also think that this matter should be discussed carefully."

A young man stood up, who was the newly promoted Primordial Spirit, Gongshu Zheng of the Gongsu Family.

As one Primordial Spirit Realm spoke after another, Ba Chunqiu’s expression turned grim.

Though confident, he wasn’t arrogant enough to think he could contend with so many in the Primordial Spirit Realm.

But if he backed down now, wouldn’t his earlier words have been for nothing?

For a moment, Ba Chunqiu could only remain silent and say nothing.

"You see, that young man acted with too much arrogance in the secret realm, angered many, and is now the target of everyone.

Even the Overlord Clan cannot withstand such pressure from the Primordial Spirit Realm, and if we intervene, it will only make things worse, bringing great disaster to our Sect."

Qian Lingxiao’s voice resonated in the minds of the disciples from the Qiankun Sect.

Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, and the rest heard and fell silent.

They knew that what Senior Brother said was true, but in their hearts, they still felt aggrieved.

They could only blame their own insignificance while watching their benefactor suffer, without being able to help.

"Brother Ling Xiao, what do you think?"

At this moment, Gongshu Zheng called out.

It turned out that among the Primordial Spirit Realm present, everyone had already expressed their stance, except for a few who had remained silent.

Among them was Qian Lingxiao.

Qin Zheng, Ye Qingzhu, and other Qiankun Sect disciples all looked toward their senior brother.

"I am insignificant and naturally accept the suggestions of the senior predecessors. Since this young man made a mistake, he should be punished."

Qian Lingxiao smiled slightly, seemingly unaffected by the gazes of his junior brothers and sisters.

"Chunqiu, you have heard; everyone has unified their opinion. Are you still going to act willfully?" Mystic Sword Elder said.

"Hmph!" Ba Chunqiu snorted coldly, "Since you are all colluding, what more is there to say!"

"Does this mean you are willing to concede?"

Ba Chunqiu said nothing.

But from his expression, everyone knew he had acquiesced.

At this moment, Mystic Sword Elder’s gaze fell on Lu Qing.

Then he smiled, "Young man, you must have heard the conversation just now, right?"

"I heard it." Lu Qing nodded slightly.

This was the first time he spoke since coming out.

Seeing him still composed, a trace of surprise appeared in the eyes of the many powerful figures.

If earlier they had doubts about what their disciples had said, now they understood.

Not to mention anything else, just facing so many scrutinizing eyes from those in the Primordial Spirit Realm and remaining so calm—

This calmness in changing situations already surpassed many of their disciples.

"In that case, is there anything you wish to say?" Mystic Sword Elder asked.

"What do you think I should do, Senior?" Lu Qing asked in return.

"Junior, hand over the opportunities you gained in the secret realm, and also offer up your spiritual beast. If we are satisfied, perhaps we will spare your life,"

Before Mystic Sword Elder could speak, the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect coldly said.

"Is this also the wish of all the esteemed elders?" Lu Qing inquired, looking around.

This time, no one spoke.

But the silent stance of the Primordial Spirit Realm members already said it all.

And those Golden Core Realm experts who came out of the secret realm had varied expressions.

Some were indifferent, some excited, some expectant, but most had a look of schadenfreude.

In their eyes, Lu Qing was already fish on the chopping board, ready to be slaughtered.

Only Qin Zheng and Ye Qingzhu, and a very few others like the Five Treasures Daoist, showed concern.

Lu Qing took in all of this.

In the next moment, he started to chuckle.

"Junior, what are you laughing at?" The Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect frowned and demanded.

"What am I laughing at?" Lu Qing stood proudly, a hint of mockery on his face, "I laugh at you hypocritical old things. If you want to steal, just say it. Why all the convoluted schemes? So-called righteous Sects of the Human Race, to think you are such filthy figures, it’s truly disgusting!"

"Bold!"

"Arrogant brat!"

"Courting death!"

Upon these words, initially, the powerful figures were stunned, then all became furious.

Yet the next moment, something more astonishing happened.

Lu Qing suddenly disappeared from where he stood.

And when he reappeared, he was in front of the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect.

His right hand formed a fist, and in an instant, he opened his stance and punched towards his opponent’s face.
