Chapter 981: Chapter 624: So-Called Righteousness, Fish on the Chopping Block, First to Strike

Ba Chunqiu’s tone remained calm, but what he said caused the disciples of the Lanhai Sect to turn pale.

Pleading with Lu Qing was the humiliation of their lifetime.

They had originally hoped to suppress the matter before it spread by having the Supreme Elder capture and subdue the person to restore their dignity.

Unexpectedly, this disgraceful affair was now publicly exposed.

The Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect also looked displeased.

"It seems your Overlord Clan is determined to protect this boy?"

"That’s right. This young man had a pleasant conversation with Ba Tian of our clan in the secret realm, and they got along well. Since he is a friend of our Overlord Clan, I will naturally protect him," Ba Chunqiu said confidently.

After speaking, a strong aura emanated from him.

It caused the surrounding Spiritual Energy to stagnate.

Ba Chunqiu’s attitude was undeniably domineering.

However, his words made many in the Golden Core Realm show strange expressions.

On the day in the Ancient Tower Space, many heard the conversation between Lu Qing and Ba Tian.

They really couldn’t see how the two could have had such a pleasant conversation and gotten along so well.

Immediately, some quick-witted individuals figured it out.

Ba Chunqiu’s righteous words likely hid ulterior motives.

"Sounds nice," the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect sneered, "but isn’t your Overlord Clan interested in this boy’s secrets and his exotic spirit beast?

If this boy really leaves with you, I’m afraid he will be completely devoured, not even leaving any residue!"

"Are you slandering our Overlord Clan?"

Ba Chunqiu’s gaze turned cold, staring directly at the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect.

"You should know whether it’s slander or not. This boy carries great secrets, and he likely obtained opportunities in the secret realm. Moreover, with his exotic spirit beast, dare you say your Overlord Clan has not been tempted?"

The Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect continued to sneer without any trace of fear.

Although the Overlord Clan was powerful and far surpassed their Lanhai Sect,

the Lanhai Sect was quite far from the Overlord Clan’s territory, separated by several powerful sects, some of which were not inferior to the Overlord Clan in strength and foundation.

No matter how strong the Overlord Clan was, they couldn’t extend their reach that far to affect the Lanhai Sect.

Therefore, while wary of Ba Chunqiu, the Lanhai Sect’s Supreme Elder wasn’t afraid to the point of being intimidated.

With these words, the expressions of the Primordial Spirit Great Powers present changed slightly.

Having received reports from their disciples, they were already aware of the situation in the secret realm and what the young man had done within it.

It wasn’t merely his spirit beast, which was highly likely to possess an ancient bloodline and be an exotic species.

More importantly, it was likely that the person had obtained the greatest opportunity in the secret realm.

According to the disciples’ descriptions of the secret realm, that opportunity might have been left by an unimaginable existence.

Thus, Ba Chunqiu’s sudden appearance had an unspoken intention.

For a moment, the Primordial Spirit Great Powers looked at Ba Chunqiu with somewhat strange expressions.

Ba Chunqiu could sense the meaning behind these gazes and immediately laughed in anger.

"Fine, fine, it seems our Overlord Clan’s dormancy has caused people to lose their awe, allowing any cat or dog to provoke us.

Ba Tian, go bring this young friend over; I want to see who dares touch someone our clan wants to protect!

And you, Old Man Qiu, an exhausted old sage daring to mock our clan in front of me, I’ll offer you to my saber first!"

After speaking, Ba Chunqiu directly unleashed a celestial Sword Qi towards the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect.

The Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect didn’t expect Ba Chunqiu would act so suddenly.

Fortunately, he was prepared and immediately deployed a Magical Treasure to protect himself.

It was a water-blue Shield that, upon being deployed, instantly transformed into multiple layers of rotating water screens, enveloping and protecting himself and the disciples behind him.

Though Ba Chunqiu’s Sword Qi was tremendously mighty, when it struck, it was constantly torn apart and dissolved by the ever-changing water flows in the layers of water screens.

Eventually, although it broke through more than ten layers of water screens consecutively, it couldn’t go further and was completely obliterated.

"What, did I expose your intentions, and now you’re embarrassed and want to silence them by killing? But with so many fellow Daoists here, can you alone, Ba Chunqiu, really cover up the chatter of the masses?"

Having neutralized Ba Chunqiu’s Sword Qi with the power of the Magical Treasure, the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect felt a sense of assurance but continued his taunts.

As for the disciples of the Lanhai Sect behind him, they were filled with excitement.

Who would have thought that the Supreme Elder would be so tough, even daring to confront a great power from the Overlord Clan head-on?

"Surprise Shield? You actually brought one of your Lanhai Sect’s Sect Spirit Artifacts, no wonder you’re so brazen. Since that’s the case, I will seize your Turtle Shield, destroy your Physical Body, and then, after returning, I’ll lead people to Sea State and annihilate your Lanhai Sect!"

An ominous aura surged from Ba Chunqiu as a Majestic Treasure Saber suddenly appeared in his hand.

Seeing this, the Supreme Elder of the Lanhai Sect’s expression turned extremely serious.

However, at this point, he couldn’t back down. He could only fully activate his Magical Treasure, causing the water screens around him to circulate even faster.

The fierce clash of aura between the two Primordial Spirit Great Powers disturbed the surrounding Spiritual Energy and even the Heaven and Earth Laws.

"Please, both of you, hold on."

Just as a Primordial Spirit battle was about to break out, a figure suddenly appeared between the two, smiling.
