Chapter 202 The Lower Bound
In a certain realm, at the Hall of Seven Emotions.
A terrified roar suddenly echoed through the main hall:
"Chang Qingzi, I saw Chang Qingzi! He's not dead!!"
The Four-Eyed Taoist rushed into the main hall and roared at the several figures sitting on the prayer mats inside.
"Chang Qingzi? Simu, do you know what you're saying?"
Upon hearing the shouts, the figure at the very front of the hall slowly opened his eyes. Looking at the madman's appearance, he spoke slowly.
"Seriously, in the human and animal realm, I've seen his eternal evergreen tree!!"
The Four-Eyed Taoist was getting anxious. Looking at the few motionless figures in front of him, he couldn't help but feel a little frantic.
“Absurd. I saw it with my own eyes when he died and his Dao disappeared.”
The Heavenly Wrath True Man at the very top snorted coldly.
"But if that's true, then we'll all die!"
The Four-Eyed Taoist said with a distorted expression.
Upon hearing this, the people in the main hall who had been meditating with their eyes closed opened their eyes and turned to look at the Four-Eyed Taoist outside the hall.
What realm?
After a few breaths of silence, Master Tiannu slowly asked.
"The Human and Animal Realm of the Heavenly Treasury."
The Four-Eyed Taoist replied.
The figure in the main hall calculated with his fingers, then shook his head slightly:
"The power of my Seven Absolutes Palace in this realm is on the verge of collapse, and we are unable to intervene much."
"Damn it, damn it! Of course I know, then let's spread this news. I don't believe the other divine palaces won't panic!"
Four-Eyed Taoist was taken aback, then said in a cold voice.
"This matter is of great importance and I cannot speculate. You should know that Changqingzi still has many fanatical followers. If we expose him rashly, things may not go well."
The figure in the corner was silent for a moment, then spoke.
"Although my Seven Absolutes Palace is weak in that human-animal realm, the source image is not damaged. We can go down to the lower realm to investigate this matter."
"In that case, which fellow Daoist would be willing to make the trip?"
The figure above the main hall suddenly spoke.
After a while, a figure in the corner suddenly said:
"This humble Taoist is willing to descend to the mortal realm once to bear the consequences of karma."
Daoist Tiannu looked in the direction of the sound, his expression relaxed slightly, and then he said:
"So it was Master Tianxiao. I'm relieved now."
Upon hearing this, the figure in the corner slowly stood up and walked out of the hall.
...
"Drive! Drive!"
Six horses galloped swiftly along the official road, heading towards Baihe City.
These people were Ding Yi and his companions who had returned from Baihe Mountain Villa.
There were thirteen people when they went, but only six returned, which shows how dangerous the trip was.
Sun Tao rode his horse behind Ding Yi, his gaze burning with desire as he looked at Ding Yi's back.
As expected of the number one expert of the Myriad Elephant Sect, the terrifying Seven Absolutes Palace God Worshipper was actually hacked to death by him without even being able to resist!
Just a second ago, that evil Taoist almost wiped out his entire group. If they hadn't heard something at the crucial moment and chosen to leave, probably none of them would have survived.
Such a perilous mission instilled in Sun Tao a thirst for power and a sense of awe for Ding Yi's strength.
At this moment, Sun Tao didn't even seem to feel the pain from his injuries anymore. This was because he had struggled his way down from the bottom and had experienced countless hardships. Now, he saw a man who could truly lead him to become stronger!
"I want to become as strong as the elephant!"
Sun Tao, standing at the rear, secretly made a vow in his heart.
When the group finally returned to Wanxiang Gate, apart from Ding Yi and Sun Qiao'er, the other members were all exhausted.
They were already injured, and the bumpy journey had left them unable to continue, causing them to collapse to the ground as soon as they arrived at the camp.
"The boss is back! Quick! Save them!!"
Wang Lin, who had been waiting for a long time, quickly instructed the people behind him to carry the injured gang members away. He then strode over to Ding Yi's side, hesitated for a moment, and whispered:
"Boss, the sect leader wants to see you in the council hall."
"Oh?"
Ding Yi raised an eyebrow, seemingly unsurprised, and nodded. He casually handed the reins to Wang Lin and then walked towards the council hall.
Upon entering the hall, Ding Yi saw Zhou Ruoxu sitting at the head of the table with a gloomy expression, flanked by two elders who seemed to be waiting for his arrival.
"Sect Master, Elders, hahaha, what brings you here?!"
Ding Yi entered the hall, cupped his hands in greeting, and smiled as he addressed the three people inside.
"Li Baozheng, let me ask you this: recently you have been frequently sending your gang members to hunt down foreign evil spirits, causing a large number of gang members to be killed or injured. Do you have any explanation for this?!"
Before Zhou Ruoxu could speak, an elder surnamed Tang beside him coldly questioned him.
"Oh? I do think there's anything wrong with me helping the Myriad Manifestations Sect, training its members, and selecting its elites?"
"Moreover, I will give double the compensation to those gang members who died fighting for the gang. Who in the gang is more generous than me in this regard?!"
After Ding Yi stepped into the hall, he spoke with a calm expression.
"you!"
"enough!"
Elder Tang was about to say something more when Zhou Ruoxu suddenly shouted, silencing him.
"Elder Li, sometimes being too sharp and outspoken is not a good thing."
Zhou Ruoxu slowly stood up from his chair and said:
"Now that I've said this, Elder Li, please think it over for yourselves!"
Upon hearing this, Ding Yi bowed to the three of them again, his expression unchanged, before turning and leaving.
After Ding Yi left, Elder Tang said to Zhou Ruoxu:
"It's unbelievable that he can successfully eliminate evil spirits every time."
"Sect Master, this man's rebellious nature is already established; we can't wait any longer. Perhaps we should deal with him outside next time..."
"Foolish! Everyone in Baihe City knows that I am irreconcilably opposed to him within the Wanxiang Sect. If he dies, won't I become the target of everyone's hatred?!"
Zhou Ruoxu glanced sideways at Elder Tang and snorted coldly.
"Sect Leader's vision is truly admirable!"
Tang Zhaolin quickly clasped his hands in greeting.
"Sect Leader, I thought we could use someone else to do our dirty work."
At this moment, Huang Changqing, who was standing next to him, suddenly spoke up.
"What insightful opinion does Elder Huang have?"
Zhou Ruoxu then looked at Huang Changchun and asked with some curiosity.
Huang Changqing was still wrapped in bandages, clearly not yet recovered from the last competition.
"Since Li Baozheng is so enthusiastic about eliminating the external evils, we can report to the Surveillance Department that he is a member of the Chaotic God Cult. This will surely have a miraculous effect!"
Huang Changqing said with a smile, but the smile aggravated his injury, and he immediately clutched his chest and coughed.
"Would the Inspection Department be so easily convinced?"
Zhou Ruoxu asked with a furrowed brow.
"Sect Master, the Surveillance Department is different from us. They are high and mighty. They only need one suspicion and will not spend any time investigating."
"No matter how strong Li Baozheng is, he can't suppress Fu Lousheng, the genius of the Yin Yang Palace!"
Huang Changqing then added:
"Then we'll forge some evidence that Li Baozheng is colluding with the Chaos God Cult, and he won't be able to defend himself!"
"Hmm, this is a good idea, I'll leave it to you!"
After thinking for a moment, Zhou Ruoxu looked at Huang Changqing and said calmly.
"Yes!"
Huang Changqing's eyes gleamed with excitement, and then he clasped his hands in a fist salute to Zhou Ruoqing.
Meanwhile, after Ding Yi returned to his courtyard, he first went to check on Jiang Mingyue and found that the old man had started to enjoy playing chess with him again.
"Song Shu, you're back?"
The old man watched Ding Yi walk into the courtyard, merely looked up to greet him, and then became engrossed in his chess game again.
Ding Yi stepped forward, stood next to the old man for a while, but couldn't figure it out. He shook his head and walked away.
