Chapter 984: Chapter 641: Your Immortal Official? Mine!_2

At the moment these words were spoken,

within the Array, it seemed as though the entire world focused its gaze upon the abyss below.

The Golden Jade Ancient Tree appeared to receive a blessing, its massive trunk, once parted by Spiritual Light, closed back again.

"..."

Mr. Blackbeard’s expression changed slightly, conceding that this development could only mean that the situation outside had concluded.

Even for him, to break open a path again would require some real effort, which would involve exposing his energy, making it difficult to continue concealing himself.

White Cloud Cave’s attention fixed upon the few individuals below.

In a brief moment, their focus converged upon the serene young woman.

Since only one was to be left, naturally they would pick the softest persimmon to squeeze.

In an instant, an unseen suppressive force plummeted down, directing its crushing weight toward the tranquil woman!

"He even made the first move."

Meng Xiuwen almost laughed in exasperation, preparing to conjure his spell, but saw that the incoming unseen force inexplicably solidified in mid-air.

He looked at Shen Yi beside him with a hint of surprise.

For a power as immense as White Cloud Cave, whose Sect Master, if not a Grandmaster, was nevertheless a prodigy who had attained the True Immortal Realm, being in a place of treasure, and with the support of the Golden Jade Ancient Tree.

The opponent’s determined strike was thus casually neutralized.

This indicated that there was no small gap between their Boundaries.

He’s supposed to be a wandering Cultivator with a focus on Tao, isn’t he?... Meng Xiuwen raised an eyebrow. He wasn’t present last time, and it seemed Ye Jing’s description was not entirely comprehensive.

"Thank you."

The serene young woman nodded towards Shen Yi, aware that she had become the target, and decisively turned into a streak of light, escaping out of the abyss.

The rest scattered in all directions, no longer lingering.

"You folks from Jianyang Prefecture really do produce one talent after another," Mei Jiyao sighed softly. Judging by that young man in black’s performance just now, he had enough to qualify as a Demon Slayer, let alone a mere Demon Slayer Officer. It appeared she had underestimated them before.

Meng Xiuwen smiled, about to offer a modest reply, when his entire form abruptly froze in mid-air.

He gazed back suddenly, his pupils constricting.

The person who had just been praised by Mei Jiyao hadn’t moved at all; he was still quietly standing in place with his hands hanging down.

"What’s the meaning of this, Mr. Meng?" Mr. Blackbeard also noticed the anomaly and muttered in a low voice.

For a Demon Slayer, the most taboo thing is to rely solely on one’s own power to act rashly and irrationally.

They are blades hidden away by the Imperial Court, to be used only in the most critical situations.

Every deployment must be of value.

Clearly, rashly arousing the attention of heavenly beings to vent a moment’s anger did not fit the above situations.

Meng Xiuwen had just lost his official position over such an affair; could it be that this young man didn’t realize how he got his position?

"How the hell should I know?"

Meng Xiuwen cursed back, his face sour, but without hesitation, he stopped his advance, "He’s the Demon Slayer Officer. I have to listen to him. You’re asking me, but whom should I ask?"

"The Celestial force has already entered the Sect!"

Mei Jiyao detected a familiar scent, and her expression soured immediately. Watching Ye Jing draw her long sword without a word, she couldn’t help but feel a few jumps at her temples.

What exactly were these people from Jianyang Prefecture trying to do?!

Were they planning to slaughter along with that upright deity, then wait for the True Spirit to ascend to heaven and descend with Immortal Soldiers and Heavenly Generals to eradicate the three Prefectures?

Just then, amidst the shielding crowd, two figures had already walked slowly to the edge of the cliff.

"I apologize, there was a bit of trouble within the Sect, causing disturbance to the Immortal Official."

The Old Sect Master looked unflustered; on the contrary, he showed a touch of helplessness, "I meant to offer this Golden Jade Ancient Tree as a tribute to the Immortal Court, but it brought the discontent of thieves, wishing to destroy our Sect’s treasure."

"Little Xiu here will apprehend this offender against the authority of the Celestial Court and hand them over to the Immortal Official for judgment."

"I hope the Immortal Official will not take offense."

In a few words, the Sect Master of White Cloud Cave defined the situation for everyone involved.

"Not at all."

The Golden Body Dharma Identity simply looked down, shaking its head lightly.

As these words fell, almost all the Demon Slayers’ expressions darkened further, for the Immortal Official had seemingly acknowledged White Cloud Cave’s account, leaving no room for argument, only thoughts of how to completely evacuate.

"Aren’t you supposed to use those hands? Take him away!" Mei Jiyao glared at Meng Xiuwen.

"..."

Meng Xiuwen gritted his teeth; he had always thought Ye Lan’s arrangements somewhat amusing, but even he had never imagined that Shen Yi would have such audacity.

"Officer Shen—" He was about to apologize and then forcefully remove people from the scene, intending to explain himself properly once they returned.

But before he could finish speaking, he saw the earthly force that had been suspended in mid-air suddenly release its grip and plummet down.

This was a technique to counter a True Immortal, but now it indiscriminately struck the vines and foliage below!

The ordinary Cultivators could never have anticipated such a change; not even a cry of agony had time to emerge before they were crushed to pieces by the vast and mighty earthly force on the spot!

"..."

The scene unfolded too swiftly and abruptly, leaving many Demon Slayers’ faces frozen in shock.

Meng Xiuwen’s mouth hung open, eyes darting between the empty abyss below and the towering Golden Body beside the cliff, feeling his mind go faint.

To display such a slaughter before the presence of a Celestial being.

Now, all the water of the Four Seas could not wash away the name of that fiend.

The most shocked of all was the Old Sect Master of White Cloud Cave, who stared vacantly at the figure in black below, his beard trembling slightly.

He racked his brains but could not comprehend why anyone would dare defy the Immortal Court, resist under such circumstances!
