Chapter 1332: Chapter 788: This Humble Monk Dares to Ask the Golden Immortal to Sleep

"Elder, you should be a transcendent existence beyond the two realms, it’s inappropriate to intervene in mundane affairs."

Qi Xian struggled to calm his emotions, glancing at Shen Yi beside him, who showed no abnormal expression, as if he had expected to be stopped and was therefore calm, suggesting it might not be a matter of life and death.

He immediately wanted to distance himself from the situation and said to the white-robed monk, "We came following the Imperial Edict, and we don’t know which person the elder is waiting for here, nor what matters you wish to instruct."

"..."

The Pure World Venerable stood up, walked barefoot down the deadwood, and stepped into the clear water.

He did not look at Qi Xian, but seriously scrutinized the Taoist Monarch Xuan Shang, his gaze penetrating the haze, falling upon that fair and handsome, yet extremely familiar face.

The last time he saw that face was in Southern Sumeru.

At that time, this person stood calmly in front of him, carrying the hidden intent of killing and chill in those clear eyes due to the fall of Thousand-Armed Bodhisattva.

This young man said he sent Thousand-Armed back, intending to fulfill the promise made to this Bodhisattva, to experience worldly trials and propagate the scripture for the Bodhi Sect.

But now, it’s the same face, yet dressed in the splendid Xuan Shang, hair fastened with a golden pin, known as the chief disciple of the Three Immortals Sect, titled the Tai Xu True Monarch!

Pure World Venerable had thought that once finding this Tai Xu True Monarch, everything would be clear.

But he didn’t expect things to be so simple. Just one glance and all confusion was dispelled.

There was never a rivalry between two great Heavenly Prides; the event outside North Flow River was merely a self-directed act by a junior, such crude tactics yet deceived Southern Sumeru.

Now, this person returned gloriously after fulfilling the orders of the Three Immortals Sect, successfully ruining the Southern Continent’s matter, and became the so-called chief disciple.

"What should I call you?"

Pure World Venerable gently spoke, "The Dragon Subduing and Tiger Suppressing Great Ming King personally conferred by our sect... or the Tai Xu True Monarch?"

As the voice was about to fall, Qi Xian stood frozen with shock, then turned incredulously to look beside him.

In fact, not just one person questioned; when the investigation became more intense in the North Continent, and some Bodhisattvas could no longer hide, why didn’t they choose to flee but instead, in desperation, attempt to attack Shen Yi who only occupied a Kaiyuan Prefecture.

But at that time, everyone was immersed in the joy of avenging great hatred, coupled with focusing on how You Yao would handle this, thus neglecting this puzzle.

Until now, with this monk’s words, Qi Xian finally realized.

This Tai Xu True Monarch fled to the North Continent not because he couldn’t defeat fellow Heavenly Prides, but because he betrayed the Bodhi Sect!

There was no resentment of killing a mentor or revenge for extermination; the opponent was simply a Ming King Bodhisattva!

"You..."

Qi Xian’s lips began to tremble slightly; he initially thought that since the opponent was calm, the situation wasn’t significant; but upon knowing the truth, half of his heart turned cold.

Dealing with a sect traitor, there must be a calamity today!

Shen Yi’s apparent calmness wasn’t because of a scheme, perhaps it was more due to his heart being in despair.

"Elder! I am a messenger under Emperor Dongji, this is the internal matter of your Bodhi Sect, unrelated to me, Qi Xian!"

Without hesitation, Qi Xian offered a statue, attempting to communicate with the Emperor’s Mansion, while shouting, "Junior will leave immediately and not disturb."

But within an instant, his face turned extremely unpleasant.

The statue in hand remained lifeless, unable to connect with East Pole Emperor’s Mansion.

"Fine, then I shall call you Dragon Subduing."

Pure World Venerable shook his head, considering it settling internal affairs with a sect traitor.

He bent slightly, letting his beautiful and simple hand gently reach into the water; the next moment, countless pure fire lotus blossoms magnificently unfolded on the water’s surface, sweeping across the Great Marsh.

It was the Purifying World Fire, capable of burning away filth.

And in Pure World Venerable’s eyes, the Taoist Monarch Xuan Shang was the greatest impurity.

Normally being ignored like this, Qi Xian would still feel dissatisfied even though the opponent was an elder in the sect, but at this moment, watching the soaring sea of fire around him and those fire lotuses quietly suspended in mid-air, he hoped the monk continued to overlook him.

However, a fire lotus had already drifted towards him.

Qi Xian turned to flee, only to find the petals abruptly transformed into fiery ropes, binding his entire body in an instant!

Amid the sea of fire, an obscure Dao Pattern flowed; it was a manifestation communicating the Heavenly Dao.

"Emperor... Emperor..."

That pure flame seemed capable of burning through the body, directly melting the Dao Fruit.

Qi Xian’s hand trembled violently, trying to clutch the statue tightly, yet watched helplessly as it was consumed by flames, turning into ash-gray dust.

As the statue was destroyed in that moment, his eyes lost their luster.

This monk dared to disrespect the Emperor, clearly with no intention of leaving any survivors.

"What does your Bodhi Sect matter have to do with me! Why indeed!"

Qi Xian still didn’t understand; if Shen Yi was a legitimate chief disciple of the Three Immortals Sect, the monk would naturally silence him to wipe out traces, but the question remained — wasn’t this fellow from Bodhi Sect; if truly a traitor, he could be punished openly, why risk offending the Emperor by killing one more person?

With the stimuli of severe pain, he vengefully glanced to the right.

Sure enough, dispatching a fire lotus to deal with him was merely a convenient act; the remaining overwhelming sea of fire, all encircled Shen Yi.

"..."

Shen Yi felt the terrifying heat approaching.
