As soon as these words were spoken, the elders of the various sects instantly turned pale, and their previously arrogant demeanor vanished without a trace.

Even though they had long felt that reason was not on their side, they still wanted to use this excuse to put Lin Yifan to death.

But now, everything was ruined by Monk Qingde's realization.

"Hehe! Did you hear that? Your good disciples provoked me first, and you blame me for being cruel. That's truly laughable."

Lin Yifan was overjoyed, finally defusing the crisis.

However, the angered sect elders were unwilling to concede, retorting, "That's his one-sided story, not trustworthy!"

"Wow! They are on your side, and you say they're not trustworthy? How embarrassing!"

"Who said he is on our side? He is clearly a Songshan Sect disciple, isn't he?"

The elders remained defiant, arguing.

"Alright, I can't be bothered to argue with you dogs. Anyway, as the saying goes, 'If you want to punish someone, you'll always have a reason!'"

Lin Yifan didn't want to waste words because you'll never convince someone who wants to kill you. The best way to handle such a situation is either to escape or fight them to the death.

Lin Yifan would never leave because with the Medicine Saint here, what does he have to fear?

"You... I'll slaughter you right now."

The elders were infuriated; never has anyone dared to insult them, even the Medicine Saint gives them some respect. But Lin Yifan, this clown, dared to publicly call them dogs, unforgivable.

They took out their weapons, ready to strike against Lin Yifan.

But at this moment, the Medicine Saint, who usually treated them with some respect, suddenly erupted in anger, shaking the heavens and earth.

"You dare?"

The sect elders were scared out of their wits, this power was terrifying, beyond what they could bear.

Indeed, this is the difference between a top-tier master and an ordinary top-tier master. A single finger could be enough to destroy you, so jumping around is useless.

"Bright True Master, are you determined to protect that brat?"

"I will not allow anyone, under any circumstance, to harm my direct disciple without reason!"

The Medicine Saint sent out a clear message, stating his position.

For Lin Yifan, he was willing to turn against the entire Central Plains Cultivation World; this was what a Master should do.

Xiao Fang was full of emotion, the Master truly cherished Lin Yifan, and it was Lin Yifan's fortune. She hoped Lin Yifan would honor his Master in the future and never defy any orders.

Actually, she had no idea of the intentions behind the Medicine Saint's actions, only Lin Yifan knew.

Xuji True Master smiled without saying much, she had long seen through some things, so there was no need for further speculation.

"Fine! Just wait, one day your Medicinal Saint Valley will pay a severe price!"

The defeated sect elders left, begrudgingly.

The Medicine Saint was an extremely terrifying existence, only the Sect Leader could rival him. So rather than staying here and losing face, it was better to devise a plan together to take down the Medicinal Saint Valley.

"Awaiting your revenge!"

The Medicine Saint was fearless, having faced countless great storms throughout his life, he wouldn't care about this.

The sects left, allowing An Qi and the others to finally breathe a sigh of relief.

The situation earlier was truly tense, several times An Qi wanted to kneel and beg her Master to intervene, fortunately Lin Yifan had a powerful and caring Master, otherwise there would have been a fierce battle today.

Monk Weide brought with him a face full of apology and came to Lin Yifan and the Medicine Saint to express regret: "As an elder, I have failed in guiding them, almost causing harm to this young brother, a grave mistake; after returning, I will certainly enforce stricter discipline to prevent similar incidents from happening again. Additionally, I will visit in the future to formally apologize; for now, I bid farewell."

"Farewell, esteemed monk!"

The Medicine Saint, Lin Yifan, and others watched Monk Weide leave; it was evident how disappointed and ashamed he was.

Thinking he had excellent disciples, only to find out they conducted such malicious acts against the sect's principles, anyone would be deeply saddened; Lin Yifan and the others understood Monk Weide's sorrow.

All major sects had departed, and the Cinnabar Palace also wanted to leave.

However, before leaving, Xuji True Master was eager to know what An Qi acquired in the Secret Realm and why her disciples sided with other sects.

"Disciple! What did you gain from this expedition?"

"An Ice Crystal Jade, Yifan gave it to me." An Qi responded with delight, her face covered with a joyful smile.

"Ice Crystal Jade? Really!"

Xuji True Master was astonished. She had always wanted to get An Qi an Ice Crystal Jade, but it was incredibly difficult to find, sometimes not even produced in hundreds or thousands of years, so hearing this news really surprised her.

"Absolutely true!" An Qi answered with great certainty.

She had examined the Ice Crystal Jade, unmistakably, it was indeed the legendary ice attribute's rarest ore—Ice Crystal Jade.

"That boy is so generous?"

Xuji True Master was quite surprised.

The Ice Crystal Jade was a remarkably precious peerless treasure, if someone found it, they would certainly not give it away, not even a small piece; so she was really shocked by Lin Yifan's action, not expecting this boy to be so magnanimous.

"Of course, considering who he is to me."

An Qi's heart was overflowing with joy, at this moment, she felt like the happiest woman in the world, envied by all.

"What treasure did he acquire?" Xuji True Master asked curiously.

Being able to give away such a precious item without conditions, he must have obtained something even more valuable, so she was curious about what Lin Yifan found, wondering if it's the rumored Immortal Ring? If that were the case, then the boy had acquired three Immortal Rings, terrifying indeed.

"Some ancient martial arts books and top-grade weapons, I don't know clearly." An Qi answered truthfully.

No one knew what peerless treasure Lin Yifan acquired, only Lin Yifan himself knew.

This mysterious boy naturally caught the Medicine Saint's attention; he was genuinely curious about what Lin Yifan had obtained, to the extent of being pursued by many.

"Could it be the Immortal Ring?"

He pondered, gradually feeling pleased, wondering about what he was imagining.

On the other side, Tan Jingwen couldn't hold it any longer and reported to Xuji True Master, exposing Feng Feiyan and others' wrongdoing: "Master, Feng Feiyan and her group, as disciples of Cinnabar Palace, not only failed to protect the Junior Palace Master but also joined the enemy faction to put the Junior Palace Master in danger. Please punish them severely."

"Tan Jingwen, do you have to be so ruthless? After all, we're from the same sect, do you really have to put so many junior sisters in such a dead-end?" Feng Feiyan couldn't contain her anger.
