Chapter 165.2: Regaining Control of Heavenly Dao, Firing Squad

The woman in white was speechless. Just days ago, she was being called a big shot, but now she was a shrimp head? She felt utterly helpless.

"If you want to go, fine. Join my band and play the suona. Otherwise, forget it."

Her expression shifted repeatedly. When had she ever suffered such humiliation? Still, thinking of his two Yin Spirit wives and Yin Spirit daughter, she swallowed her indignation.

Do heavenly goddesses really like this domineering lunatic type?

The woman in white gritted her teeth. "Fine!"

Qi Yuan beamed. "Perfect!"

He had successfully tricked another Yin Spirit into playing the suona for him! Thus, his status and prestige rose yet another notch.

After a while, Qi Yuan scanned the assembled band. "Is everyone here?"

He noticed Jiang Ya was holding an instrument too.

"I told you to play the suona, not a trumpet," Qi Yuan said, holding Qi Jianjun's hand.

Jiang Ya froze, then pulled out a suona. "

Oops

."

"Since everyone's here, let's go," said Qi Yuan, waving his hand.

Heaven Earth Laws wrapped around them instantly. They felt as though life and death were no longer theirs to control.

The woman in white stared wide-eyed, disbelief filling her gaze. With a casual wave, a Yin Spirit like her had been rendered as powerless as an ordinary cultivator!

Someone with divine spiritual energy, reduced to a child with no cultivation... What kind of method is this?

A terrifying guess surfaced in her heart but she dared not confirm it.

***

Within a mountain valley, the Moluo forces assembled like clouds in a mountain valley. Several terrifying figures stood together. Perhaps because there were too many Yin Spirits, even the world's rules in the valley felt unstable.

Venerable Ye Qiong said, "Venerable Mochen, that Step Two Heaven-Treading one is beyond what Venerable Youqing and I can handle. We can only help capture Blood-Clothed Sword God alive and stop the formation."

Venerable Youqing stood beside Venerable Ye Qiong, gazing alluringly at the towering purple figure ahead. That terrifying figure was Venerable Mochen, who was only one step away from Step Three Heaven-Treading. Such a being was a top-tier powerhouse even in the Canglan World.

"They dared to kill my brother. That Step Two Heaven-Treading one will certainly die!" Venerable Mochen declared confidently in a deep voice. "Today, even if Lord Moon God descends, he won't be able to save them!"

The latter half was naturally a bluff. Venerable Mochen served the Black Demon Abyss. Still, someone of his caliber was just a nobody there. He had never even met Lord Black Demon.

"I heard that the Blood-Clothed Sword God once provoked Venerable Ye Qiong in the Canglan World," a Moluo Yin Spirit said mockingly. "How did it feel being humiliated by a mere Violet Palace?"

Venerable Ye Qiong's expression remained unchanged. "A cultivator who relies on women isn't worth mentioning."

Venerable Mochen laughed, "I rather wish a Great Venerable would take a fancy to me."

At that moment, a bleak, mournful sound of music suddenly echoed. The expressions of all six Yin Spirits shifted.

Venerable Ye Qiong’s face contorted. "This is..."

He had heard of Blood-Clothed Sword God. When the suona sounds, slaughter began. Even so, why was there suona music on the Moonwatch Continent? A sense of foreboding rose in his heart. As they looked for the sound’s source, boundless divine power surged, threatening to tear the mountains apart.

Venerable Mochen roared, "Who's hiding?! Show yourself!"

They couldn't find the source.

"Didn’t your mother teach you not to speak ill of people behind their backs?" Just then, someone’s voice echoed abruptly through the valley. "Oh, I forgot. Your mothers died long ago."

***

"Didn’t your mother teach you not to speak ill of people behind their backs?" As soon as the words left Qi Yuan’s mouth, regret struck him, and he nearly slapped himself. "Oh, I forgot. Your mothers died long ago."

As his voice fell, a group of more than fifty people suddenly appeared before the six Venerables. Qi Yuan stood at the front.

When he spotted Venerable Ye Qiong and Venerable Youqing, surprise flickered across his face. "

Oh

? There are humans too?"

Venerable Ye Qiong frowned deeply. "Blood-Clothed Sword God, you're also a Yin Spirit?!"

An ominous feeling rose in Venerable Ye Qiong's heart.

He’s undoubtedly a Yin Spirit. Also, he appears out of nowhere with a band. This is extremely strange.

Venerable Mochen was also puzzled.

Facing six Yin Spirits, he attacked instead of fleeing. Is he suicidal?

Only two explanations existed: either he was insane or he had a trump card.

Venerable Mochen scanned the surroundings, wary of that Step Two Heaven-Treading powerhouse. In spite of his fear, he screamed loudly, "Perfect! You came here on your own! We’ll wipe you out in one go! Venerable Ye Qiong, Venerable Youqing, as agreed, he’s all yours."

Venerable Ye Qiong and Youqing's brows twitched. That agreement was made under the assumption they were facing a mere Violet Palace cultivator! And he clearly wasn’t!

They were about to object, but Qi Yuan said first, "No wonder you're so useless, killing people so half-heartedly, taking so damn long. Let me teach you how to kill properly. Don't thank me and definitely don't fall in love with me."

Qi Yuan pointed at the six Yin Spirits, saying softly, "God deems gathering to speak ill of others behind their backs a sin."

Instantly, the heavens and earth transformed, and boundless world laws surged toward the six Yin Spirits. They went pale as they felt the Heavenly Dao awaken, suppressing them with the power of an entire world. Their divine apertures were sealed, preventing divine spiritual energy from circulating.

Venerable Mochen's eyes filled with terror. "This is a Divine Domain! You're a Great Venerable!"

𝓯𝙧𝓮𝓮𝒘𝓮𝙗𝙣𝒐𝒗𝒆𝓵.𝓬𝓸𝒎

Only a Great Venerable could form a Divine Domain and suppress ordinary Venerables so effortlessly.

Venerable Ye Qiong was equally horrified.

Impossible, how could he be a Great Venerable?!

The woman in white, playing the suona, stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

Qi Yuan ignored them and explained calmly, "God deems that speaking ill behind others' backs is a grave crime. Your punishment is death! Agents have been dispatched to your address for execution by firing squad. Immediate enforcement."

He snapped his fingers, but failed to make any sound. A little embarrassed, he provided his own sound effects. "

Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang!

"

Six gunshot-like sounds rang out in succession, and the six Yin Spirits were executed on the spot, powerless to resist. The unfathomably powerful Yin Spirits died suffocatingly and ridiculously easily, without a bang.

The suona continued to play.

Qi Yuan turned to the others and said earnestly, "Never speak ill of people behind their backs, or you'll be executed by firing squad. I once received a text message like that and it scared me half to death."

Everyone was completely stunned.
