Chapter 1504: Punishment for All Crimes
choosing not to answer the question and instead asked, "Do you have a map leading to the ninth-level area here"Shu Kuang glanced at Yan Zhao, and Yan Zhao without hesitation pulled out a jade slip and...Challenge the heavens!
Jiang Yun's answer, instead of bringing surprise to the crowd, brought shock!
Even figures like Dan Daozi who stood on Jiang Yun's side couldn't help but shake their heads in disapproval.
Dao Tianyun is the sect master of the Daomen Sect and was personally chosen from countless disciples to be his successor.
Especially this time's Wudao Sect grand competition, until now, the sect master of Wudao Sect has not appeared, but it has always been Dao Tianyun who presided over everything, even the elders in the sect have to obey his orders.
This is enough to show his importance placed on Dao Tianyun, and it also represents that at this moment, Dao Tianyun's identity is actually equivalent to the headmaster of Wenda Sect.
As for challenging the Sect Master, throughout history, let alone a massive Daoist sect like the WenDao Sect, such an occurrence is extremely rare even within any other sects or families.
Once this happens, regardless of whether Jiang Yun can defeat Dao Tianyun, the act itself is already a serious offense of insubordination. In any sect or family, it would be considered a grave disrespect.
But for such disciples and clansmen, there will only be one punishment: killing without mercy!
Therefore, Ginger Cloud's answer has effectively put himself on the path to death.
Compared to the shock on everyone else's faces, Dao Tianyun instead wore a relieved smile.
Actually, according to Dao Tian Yun's original plan, they were indeed preparing to appear after the Tian Yun Fen Zong Sect Master and Jiang Yun finished their fight.
However, he worried that the Sect Master of Heavenly Fortune Division was not a match for Ginger Cloud.
After all, it was Jiang Yun who initiated the challenge, which means Jiang Yun has full confidence in winning. And once Tian Yunzong's master loses, his own face won't look good either.
Moreover, having Jiang Yun compete in another match would only increase his weight in the eyes of the Wudaozhui Sect and everyone else.
Therefore, after considering all of this, Dao Tianyun finally decided to step forward ahead of time and deliberately use words to provoke Jiang Yun.
After all, even as the Sect Master's heir, he couldn't just kill Jiang Yun in public without a reason.
Jiangyun had made some mistakes in the past, but they were minor and certainly not capital offenses!
But now, with Jiang Yun's words, he was given a perfect excuse by Jiang Yun.
"Hahaha!" Dao Tianyun suddenly burst into laughter. "Very good, Jiang Yun, you're probably still unaware that you've actually made a huge mistake."
Gingercloud remained silent, her gaze fixed serenely on Daotianyu.
“I asked that the sect was indeed a human dao sect, with rules established since ancient times, not accepting demon races as disciples.”
But what about you As the Sect Master of the Branch Sect, you've taken in a large number of demon cultivators as disciples within the Sea-Mountain Realm.
"Before you appeared, I was going to expel all the demon clans from your Shan Hai Fen Zong."
"However, a senior figure from the Eastern Palm Realm interceded for you, saying that you would inevitably come. They asked me to wait until your arrival before listing all your crimes and punishing you accordingly."
After your appearance, you went on a rampage, killing two of your own sect members. You show no respect for elders and have insulted the head elder of our sect.
"I've seen all this, although your explanation is a bit far-fetched. However, considering your cultivation isn't easy and you still have potential, I've tolerated you again and again, turning a blind eye, even going against the rules to allow you to directly challenge."
"But you not only failed to repent, now you even dare to challenge me"
"Don't you really think that just because you have some skill, you can act recklessly, disregard the rules, and do whatever you want"
"To a disobedient disciple like you, I, as the successor of the Sect Master, will today hold you accountable for your transgressions and teach you a lesson about propriety!"
As soon as his words left his mouth, Dao Tianyun didn't even give Jiang Yun a chance to explain. He directly pointed a finger at Jiang Yun and struck him.
Dao Tianyun's sudden move was also beyond everyone's expectations.
Unexpectedly, the Master of the Hall challenged the successor to the head of the sect and launched an attack against Jiang Yun first.
In their opinion, this probably stemmed from Dao Tianyun's slight apprehension towards Jiang Yun's strength. But in reality, only Dao Tianyun and Jiang Yun truly knew the reason.
Dao Tianyun was worried that Jiang Yun would reveal his secret of sending someone to kill him. Therefore, he had to take Jiang Yun down before Jiang Yun could speak, preferably by killing him directly and preventing him from speaking out.
Of course, this seemingly random gesture is also the most powerful technique possessed by Heaven's Mandate!
From the fingertips of Dao Tianyun, a ray of purple energy shot out!
This purple qi did not shoot directly at Gingercloud, but hovered in the air.
But with the appearance of this purple qi, everyone could clearly feel that the aura between heaven and earth suddenly became chaotic.
And amidst this chaos, there were things that were indescribable, even invisible to the naked eye, appearing from all directions. They surged wildly, converging towards the purple qi.
Dan Daozi and the others' expressions changed slightly; they too had the same feeling.
Even they couldn't figure out at first what these things that were hard to explain were.
Only when Bu Yi was deep in thought, would he fully open his eyes, and two invisible beams of light would flow in all directions.
As for Jiang Yun, he could clearly feel at this moment that every part of his body, even within his life fire soul, had something that was being pulled by the purple qi. It struggled frantically, wanting to break free from his body and merge with the purple qi.
"This is..."
Jiang Yun frowned, this thing although he himself did not know what it was, but there was a sense of familiarity.
It is even more important to realize that if one were to lose this, it would be a great disadvantage.
And under the influx of that purple qi, which most people couldn't understand what it was, its size grew larger and larger, becoming more and more dense, gradually solidifying.
From afar, it appears to be coalescing into a humanoid form.
In a moment of desperation, Jiang Yun didn't have time to think too much. He pointed his finger like a sword and slashed fiercely at the emptiness in front of him.
Daoism, love separation sorrow!
This refers to the connection between that sliver within his own body and the purple energy.
As soon as one finger fell, Jiang Yun's figure suddenly retreated, successfully severing the connection between the two.
Just a moment later, the force of attraction contained within the purple qi reappeared.
Even then, this force of pulling isn't just from the purple qi, but from the earth beneath us, from the sky above, from all directions, from this whole world!
It's as if the world itself is using its might to rip this thing from Ginger Cloud's body.
"What is the origin of this purple qi What exactly is it taking from me"
Jiang Yun's heart sank. She abruptly raised her foot and took a step forward, vanishing instantly, her entire figure merging into nothingness.
But soon, Jiang Yun's figure once again materialized from nothingness, a rare seriousness etched upon his face.
Even though he had retreated to the void, that pull still existed.
In a mere moment, the cluster of purple qi suspended in mid-air had grown to be several dozen feet in size. One could even faintly discern its form as it was slowly coalescing into a humanoid shape. And that shape, surprisingly, bore the likeness of Dao Tianyun.
"Hum!"
Ginger Cloud, however, had no mind to look at the purple qi before him. His ears could already hear the violent trembling sound emanating from within his body as that thing was about to be pulled out. This made him finally temporarily abandon the idea of keeping it and instead raised his hand.
A blazing ball of fire shot up into the sky, transforming into a gigantic phoenix and charging towards Dao Tianyun.
