Cultivation starts from devouring the Dao fruits

The beautiful woman in the goose-yellow silk dress said, "Elder Zhao Yu, I am Lan Yinghua, a disciple of Xian Nu."

Xian Nu was the tenth direct disciple of Supreme Elder Cai Lingxiu of the Dan Ling Sect and also one of the sect's top powerhouses.

When Zhao Yu was at the headquarters of the Dan Ling Sect, Xian Nu was traveling outside the sect, so they had never met.

Zhao Yu smiled slightly, intending to leave directly, "It seems you have something to deal with, so I won't disturb you."

Lan Yinghua stepped forward, performed a courtesy and said in an orderly manner, "Elder Zhao Yu, please wait. One of our junior sisters is being harassed by a disciple from the Thousand Mysteries Sect. They've called for support, and they outnumber us. We are on our way to confront them for an explanation, and we request your presence to uphold justice on our behalf."

Zhao Yu nodded slightly and said, "Alright!"

Zhao Yu had already noticed that Lan Yinghua and her two companions were in trouble and planned to find an excuse to leave. However, since these juniors from the Dan Ling Sect had already asked for help, it would be difficult for Zhao Yu, as a senior, to refuse without a valid reason.

The group arrived at the entrance of a luxurious building where many cultivators had gathered into a circle to watch. At the center of the circle was a beautiful Dan Ling Sect female disciple, holding the hand of a handsome Dan Ling Sect male disciple and shouting insults at another delicate and pitiable looking beautiful girl from the Thousand Mysteries Sect.

The Dan Ling Sect male disciple looked guilty, yet his eyes still occasionally drifted towards the Thousand Mysteries Sect beauty.

Zhao Yu had already learned the story on the way there.

The beautiful Dan Ling Sect female disciple and the Dan Ling Sect male disciple were a cultivator couple. The beautiful girl from the Thousand Mysteries Sect later seduced the male disciple, leading to discord between the couple. The Dan Ling Sect male disciple had been demanding to break off their relationship.

Upon seeing the Thousand Mysteries Sect beauty, the Dan Ling Sect female disciple couldn't hold back and rushed up to catch her and started cursing.

The Thousand Mysteries Sect beauty had friends from her own sect as well, and both sides called for backup, making the situation increasingly heated.

"You whore, is someone else's man really that good to you? All you sluts from the Thousand Mysteries Sect know is to snatch other people's men, which is absolutely disgusting! You're worse than animals!"

The pretty face of the Dan Ling Sect female disciple twisted with anger as she grabbed the Thousand Mysteries Sect girl's hair and bellowed.

The girl from the Thousand Mysteries Sect merely cried out in a pitiful whine, looking truly heartrending.

The Dan Ling Sect male disciple frowned deeply and said through clenched teeth, "Stop making a scene! Don't you have any shame with so many people watching?"

The Dan Ling Sect female disciple roared angrily, "Shame? You actually know the word shame! Then why did you do such a disgraceful thing? If you want to take a concubine, I won't stop you! But you want to abandon me for that whore from the Thousand Mysteries Sect who sleeps with anyone?

To cast aside your legally wedded cultivation partner, who swore to stand by you on the cultivator's path, is a great sin within our sect!!"

The Dan Ling Sect male disciple's face turned ugly in an instant.

Within the Dan Ling Sect, taking a seductress from the Thousand Mysteries Sect as a concubine or a servant was not unheard of. Many male elders of the Dan Ling Sect had beauties and servant-wives from the Thousand Mysteries Sect, and even Supreme Elder Cai Lingxiu was powerless to stop it.

However, abandoning one's current cultivation partner to take a seductress from the Thousand Mysteries Sect as a new partner was a serious crime within the Dan Ling Sect. This was a law personally established by Supreme Elder Cai Lingxiu herself.

"Elder Zhao Yu, please uphold justice for us."

As Zhao Yu was engrossed in watching the drama unfold, Lan Yinghua spoke up from the side.

"This farce should come to an end!"

Zhao Yu directly released a strand of terrifying aura at the Foundation Establishment rank and moved forward.

"A Foundation Establishment Cultivator!!"

"..."n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

All the cultivators present changed their expressions and hastily parted, making way for Zhao Yu to pass through.

Zhao Yu said, "Nephew Zhang, if you no longer wish to be with Niece Li, I can arrange for your separation procedures and expel him from the sect. How about that?"

As a Guest Elder of the Foundation Establishment stage in the Dan Ling Sect, Zhao Yu needed only a word to pass along and expelling a majorly at-fault outer sect disciple from the Dan Ling Sect was almost certain.

The male disciple of the Dan Ling Sect turned pale, fear flashing through his eyes. As a disciple of the Dan Ling Sect, he had many benefits; if expelled, not only would Foundation Establishment become impossible, but his status would also plummet drastically.

The female disciple of the Dan Ling Sect's eyes reddened, and she bit her lip, saying, "Uncle Master Zhao, I still want to make things work with him. Please show mercy and spare him!"

Zhao Yu glanced at the seemingly delicate and beautiful female disciple from the Thousand Mysteries Sect and said, "As for you, apologize to those two immediately, leave New Shiyang City at once, and from now on, you are not allowed to approach either of them!"

"Hold on!"

The pitiable-looking Thousand Mysteries Sect female disciple clenched her teeth, about to apologize when a soft shout came from the side.

The stunning beauty who once appeared in the Hundred Flowers Building of Chihu City, with a graceful figure, skin like ice and bones like jade, hair as black as ravens down to her shoulders, a petite nose, and cherry lips, possessing beauty that rivaled Shangguan Lingxiu's, approached from afar.

Accompanied by the exceptional beauty was a young man in scholar's attire with a robust build and a valiant spirit, his face adorned with a gentle smile, radiating extreme handsomeness; another, a young man in brocade robes, adorned all over with various exquisite ornaments, handsome in appearance with a debonair air; and another, a young cultivator in Taoist robes with a tall stature and a striking visage.

The cultivator in brocade robes with a frown said, "Sir, as a Foundation Establishment Cultivator, bullying a weak woman is truly beneath your dignity and decorum!"

Zhao Yu's gaze sharpened as he said, "I am Zhao Yu, a Dan Ling Sect Elder. And may I know who you are?"

The beautiful woman and the three cultivators beside her were all Foundation Establishment Cultivators.

The man in brocade robes said arrogantly, "White Peak Mountain's Jing Xiongtao!

Lan Yinghua whispered, "Uncle Master Zhao, this man is the direct offspring of a prominent figure among the Five Great Loose Cultivators, the venerable hermit from White Peak."

How could the son of someone merely at the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment stage dare to be so arrogant? Oh, it seems the Great Perfection of Foundation Establishment stage indeed is quite strong. No wonder he dares to twist right and wrong.

Zhao Yu's face darkened as he said coldly, "This Thousand Mysteries Sect female disciple has disrupted the relationship between our Dan Ling Sect disciples and has committed a taboo of our sect. Jing Xiongtao, your unwarranted intervention has turned the truth on its head. Could it be that your White Peak Mountain wishes to make an enemy of the Dan Ling Sect?"

The disciples of the Dan Ling Sect glared at Jing Xiongtao.

While White Peak Mountain had the venerable hermit to strengthen it, it indeed was far inferior compared to the Dan Ling Sect.

Jing Xiongtao's face turned white with rage as he fell into hesitation. Traveling in the northern wastelands under the identity of the venerable hermit's direct offspring, he had been esteemed everywhere he went. However, his father had also warned him never to provoke the Five Great Golden Core Sects.
