Chapter 626 Let's Make Our Move
Cao Erdan suppressed his anger and looked at this pretentious fake immortal.
He might fool ordinary people, but when faced with Cao Erdan, a master of cultivation, it's obvious he's almost certainly a fraud.
Even if one touches the edge of the Heavenly Realm, one still cannot reach the Immortal Realm, which transcends the mortal body!
They don't even qualify as Earth Immortals!
Yuwen Changqing also locked onto Cao Erdan as soon as he appeared.
I never imagined that Cao Erdan would be even younger and more handsome than me.
Besides, they are genuinely young, unlike an old monster like myself who has been forced to cultivate.
It's clear that Cao Erdan possesses a restrained spiritual energy and a high level of cultivation.
I certainly didn't have that level of cultivation when I was in my twenties.
If one can transcend the Heavenly Realm and enter the Immortal Realm while young, then one will naturally transcend the laws of nature, remain forever young, and never grow old.
However, he hadn't mastered the art of preserving his youthful appearance; his current face was merely an illusion.
That's why his eyes were full of jealousy when he looked at Cao Erdan!
Seeing Cao Erdan's arrogant expression, completely disregarding him, the living god, he was also angry:
"Director Cao, I have a question. What have my Star Gate done to offend your Imperial Gate? Why are you killing my members one after another?"
Cao Erdan chuckled: "I've killed far too many evil madmen. Who are you talking about? I'd like to hear the details!"
Qin Ji, unable to contain himself, took a few steps forward and shouted loudly:
"I've already inquired about it. Did you kill my five disciples? And did you also kill Elder Silver Ring and the Yan brothers?"
Qin Ji, who had a bad temper, became angrier the more he talked. He strode forward a few steps and questioned Cao Erdan.
Cao Erdan sneered: "You found out? That's just hearsay? What concrete evidence do you have?"
Qin Ji stared wide-eyed, unable to offer any evidence.
Cao Erdan continued, "You don't need to find any evidence. I killed these bastards!"
Qin Ji was furious, his beard bristling and eyes wide with anger: "Fine, you admit it. If you don't give me an explanation today, don't even think about leaving the Star Gate!"
Cao Erdan's face also hardened: "Do you think you're in charge of the Star Gate? With your sect leader here, do you think you're the one giving orders? Do you want to take over and abolish Yuwen Changqing?"
One sentence hit the nail on the head, startling Qin Ji so much that he quickly took several steps back.
Cao Erdan had a sharp eye and could tell at a glance that the Star Gate's hierarchical system was extremely strict.
These people are flattering Yuwen Changqing as if they were flattering the emperor, so their claim that Qin Ji overstepped his bounds must be his weakness.
Sure enough, Yuwen Changqing glanced at Qin Ji with a rather unpleasant expression.
Qin Ji quickly bowed and withdrew.
I acted impulsively and stood in front of Yuwen Changqing.
This was something Yuwen Changqing absolutely hated.
Cao Erdan stood up.
Facing the heroes of Nalan City:
"Normally, our Imperial Clan's efforts to eradicate evil and uphold justice do not require explanation to anyone."
But since everyone's here, I'll explain it to you.
They were the Five Tigers of Xingmen, Elder Yinhuan, the Yan brothers, and the left and right guardian elders.
There were also forty-nine Star Gate disciples led by the Dharma Protector Elder.
I killed them all, because their crimes were unforgivable!
His words were powerful and resounding, a wake-up call to action.
The already quiet environment became deathly silent.
Because everyone knows that what follows is a bloodbath!
Although the Royal Gate has fewer people and will inevitably lose to the Star Gate today, the Royal Gate has a huge backing and will definitely not let this go!
Some people are already thinking about how to stay out of it and avoid getting involved.
Because he couldn't afford to offend either side!
Yuwen Changqing remained expressionless, merely staring coldly at Cao Erdan, knowing he had more to say.
Cao Erdan added, "Zhonggang Ouyang Kang not only committed crimes and defied the Royal Gate's rules, but also instigated other powerful families to oppose Huanmen, disregarding national laws! The Five Tigers of Xingmen aided and abetted the evildoer, willingly serving as his lackeys, and attempted to intercept and kill the Royal Gate's special envoy. They deserve to die!"
Elder Yinhuan and the Yan brothers, driven by greed, robbed and kidnapped the victim en route; they deserve to die!
The two guardians of Xingmen, a monk and a Taoist priest, are also deserving of death for breaking the rules and regulations, plotting assassinations, robbing others of their property, and murdering for money!
After Cao Erdan finished speaking, his gaze sharpened as he looked at Yuwen Changqing!
"You have some self-awareness, as you even took the initiative to invite our royal family to the banquet."
Even if you didn't invite us, we would still come.
Not only do you condone your subordinates' illegal and criminal activities, but you yourself are also extremely guilty!
"You practice evil martial arts, kidnap young girls to train with, and have caused countless deaths. Don't you know how many people you've killed?"
Cao Erdan grew angrier the more he talked.
He raised his hand and overturned the table:
"You dare question me? Now I'm telling you, I represent the Imperial Gate and am conducting a search of your Star Gate! We suspect you of kidnapping and abducting young girls to practice your skills and murdering them!"
One of the Star Gate Hall Masters beside Qin Ji couldn't hold back any longer and stepped forward to the front of the mountain:
"What evidence do you have..."
Before he could finish speaking, Cao Erdan slapped him hard across the face.
"Go to hell! Who gave you the right to speak like that!"
This slap, seemingly two zhang away and impossible to touch, came with a sharp gust of wind.
Half of the big man's face was completely torn off, revealing his skull through a bloody mess.
With one slap, he flew several feet away, fell to the ground, and remained unconscious!
All the bigwigs of Nalan City present were dumbfounded.
This young man from the Royal Gate is amazing.
Despite being in a dangerous and dangerous place, he showed no fear whatsoever; on the contrary, he exuded an aggressive and imposing aura.
Some people were worried for Cao Erdan.
Let alone what level Yuwen Changqing had reached.
There are at least seven or eight hundred disciples of the Star Gate.
Among them are dozens of hall masters, elders, and experts at the Dao and Divine realms.
If things really turn sour and a fight breaks out, you two tables of Huangmen, with less than twenty people, probably won't be able to leave.
Yuwen Changqing stared coldly at Cao Erdan, and after he finished speaking, he suddenly burst into laughter:
"Kid, you say we have no evidence that you committed murder, but your own confession is the evidence! You say my people committed crimes, but that's just your side of the story! You want to search me? Fine, I'll give you a chance, let's see if you can get past me!"
As he spoke, he kicked over the table in front of him and stood up.
"Let's get started! Do you want to fight me one-on-one, or do you all come at me together!"
As Yuwen Changqing stood in front of the people, a surge of energy flowed from his body, causing his Eight Trigrams Immortal Robe to flutter and shake wildly.
Her long hair danced in the wind, as if she were standing in the wind.
That aura was enough to make all the martial arts practitioners present feel awe!
Just as everyone was eagerly anticipating witnessing the martial arts prowess of the Immortal Changqing, Qin Ji walked over.
He bowed deeply to Yuwen Changqing:
"Sect Master, this brat killed my disciple and insulted my sect members. I beg you to give me a chance to fight him first!"
Yuwen Changqing smiled slightly:
"Alright, then you spar with him first. Don't worry about his identity, just use your best moves!"
Upon receiving the order, Qin Ji turned to Cao Erdan and shouted:
"Kid, if you've got the guts, let's have a go!"
As he spoke, he roared, the sound shaking the roof tiles.
The cups on the table were all jingling and shaking.
Qin Ji made a grabbing motion in mid-air, and a nine-eared, eight-ringed, gold-backed chopping knife flew out of the hand of one of his subordinates and into Qin Ji's hand!
With a slash through the void, a series of loud "whoosh" sounds rang out, and a sharp gust of wind howled through the air.
He took a step, poised and ready, waiting for Cao Erdan to take the stage.
