Chapter 355 How did you get in?
"Still want to play tricks?"
Murong Xue's figure flashed and she appeared in front of the Japanese monk. She stepped on him and said, "Tell me! What is your purpose in coming to the East Continent? Why are you mixing in with the crowd?"
The Japanese monk was trampled to the point of spitting blood, but he still laughed strangely.
"I won't tell you, you stupid Oriental."
"All of you...will eventually be consumed by the wrath of Amaterasu!"
The Japanese monk made a strange hoarse sound in his throat, but a sinister smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.
Without waiting for Murong Xue to ask any more questions, he suddenly gritted his teeth, and the poison hidden in his teeth instantly spread along his throat and throughout his body.
His skin turned black at a speed visible to the naked eye, black blood oozed out of his seven orifices, his body twitched twice and then he died.
Murong Xue frowned, exerted a little force on her toes, and only after confirming that the other party was dead did she slowly retract her foot.
She bent down to pick up the fallen blood-colored talisman. A flash of lightning appeared at her fingertips, and the talisman turned into ashes.
"He's actually a dead man." She whispered to herself, her eyes sweeping over the corpse on the ground, her eyes becoming more solemn.
Japanese monks often live on the outer islands of the East China Sea and rarely set foot on the East Continent.
The last time was a hundred years ago.
Now that he suddenly appears in the East Continent, could it be that... something unexpected has happened again, just like before?
At this time, the monks in front of the mountain gate had lost their previous anger after watching this scene.
Just now they were denouncing the Palace of Thunder, but in the blink of an eye, the Japanese monks who were hated by everyone appeared. This reversal made everyone at a loss as to what to do.
"How did this...Japanese person get mixed up in the crowd? Who brought him here?"
Someone spoke with an ugly expression and an angry voice.
No matter how the monks of the East Continent fight among themselves, they all feel a unanimous dislike for the Japanese.
If these bastards hadn't been causing trouble behind the scenes a hundred years ago, the secret realm of magic cultivation wouldn't have suffered such huge losses.
Even many people from major sects died at the hands of these people.
"I don't know. We didn't pay any attention to it before."
Murong Xue's gaze suddenly turned to the hesitant crowd, and her voice suddenly became stern: "This person is infiltrating among you and instigating trouble. It's hard to say if he is not colluding with some of you!"
These words were like a thunderclap, causing the monks, who were already feeling guilty, to change their expressions instantly.
The cultivator carrying the giant axe hurriedly defended himself, "Young lady, you're right! We don't even know this Japanese villain, and we have absolutely no connection with him!"
"Whether it's collusion or not is not up to you to decide."
Murong Xue's fingertips flickered with lightning again. "The Divine Thunder Palace will immediately report this matter to the Jade Void Palace and the Great Void Palace, and thoroughly investigate the connection between those present today and the Japanese cultivators. If they find even the slightest connection, don't blame the Dao Alliance Law Enforcement Hall for being ruthless!"
Xuantian Dao League is the highest governing body jointly established by the three major Daoist sects in the Eastern Continent.
Used to jointly resist enemies from outside the domain and maintain the basic operation of the secret realm of magic cultivation.
The token that Lin Wan'er took out when she went to Tianji Pavilion before was the Taoist Alliance token.
Otherwise, with the face of Taixu Palace, the owner of Tianji Pavilion would not be so polite.
After hearing Murong Xue's words, the faces of the cultivators present turned pale instantly, especially the disciples of Danxia Sect and Qingfeng Valley. They all lowered their heads and dared not say a word. Their sects could not withstand the thorough investigation of the Taoist Alliance.
The Dao League Law Enforcement Hall is known for its iron fist. Once it is branded as a "collaborator", not only will it be in danger itself, but even the sect behind it may be implicated.
"Miss Murong, this is purely a misunderstanding. We will leave now and never bother you again!" The disciple leading the team from Qingfeng Valley was the first to give in and was about to retreat, pulling the people around him.
"Wait a minute."
Murong Xue raised her hand to stop them and instructed the Divine Thunder Palace disciples behind her, "Register the names of all the sects, disciples, and independent cultivators present today in a register, and report it to the Dao Alliance for verification."
"Yes!" The gatekeeper disciple immediately took out a pen and paper and glanced at the crowd sharply.
This completely broke down everyone's psychological defenses.
No one dares to let their name appear on the "pending verification" list - if it is used by someone with ulterior motives, even if there is no collusion, it will be difficult to explain.
The wandering cultivators were the first to be unable to hold on. Some of them quietly retreated, and then, as if a hornet's nest had been stirred up, they all turned around and ran down the mountain.
"Don't sign me up! I'm just here to join in the fun!"
"We at Danxia Sect were completely unaware of this and will return to the mountains to reflect on our mistakes!"
The originally dense crowd scattered in an instant.
But in a short while, the only people left in front of the mountain gate were the disciples of the Divine Thunder Palace and the corpse of the Japanese monk on the ground.
Murong Xue looked at the empty mountain road, and the light of the thunder-patterned jade bracelet on her wrist gradually faded.
She bent down and retrieved a black token engraved with snake patterns from the Japanese monk's arms. Her eyes darkened. "It seems these rubbish are going to cause trouble again."
"Senior Sister Murong, those people have run away and haven't registered yet. What should we do?"
A disciple came forward, looking embarrassed.
"If they ran away, they ran away. Registration was not the purpose in the first place."
Murong Xue waved her hand and put the black token into her sleeve. Her tone was calm but carried an unquestionable authority: "Have someone dispose of the body? What happened today... must not be spread outside."
"Yes!"
Two disciples stepped forward, took out magical instruments to wrap the corpse, and quickly walked behind the mountain.
The other disciples began to clean up the rubble and talisman paper in front of the mountain gate, and soon it was restored to its former neatness.
Murong Xue looked up at the Thunder Cloud Palace on the top of the mountain, her fingertips unconsciously stroking the thunder-patterned jade bracelet on her wrist.
The sudden appearance of the Japanese monks must be reported as soon as possible.
But Master has now gone to Taixu Palace...
Let’s report to a few elders first.
Murong Xue thought about it, and her figure turned into a purple lightning, and instantly disappeared at the mountain gate, leaving only a faint lightning mark, which was blown away by the mountain breeze in an instant.
.........
On the other side, in the Zixia Hall of Taixu Palace, two figures sat facing each other beside a jade table shrouded in clouds and mist.
It was Lin Xuantong, the head of Taixu Palace, and Lei Miaoyun who had just arrived from Shenlei Palace.
At this time, she didn't know what happened in front of the Shenlei Palace. She was discussing with Lin Xuantong about Lin Wan'er and others encountering people from Chaoyin Pavilion in the Ten Thousand Beasts Forest.
"The appearance of someone from Guixu... This is a serious matter. What does Fairy Miaoyun think?"
Lin Xuantong was wearing a dark blue Taoist robe. He twisted the teacup with his fingertips and took a sip. His eyes were deep and his tone was solemn.
Lei Miaoyun was sitting on the other side of the jade table. The dark patterns on her Xuan Lei Taoist robe flowed faintly in the dim light in the hall. She picked up the teacup on the table and took a sip, speaking casually.
"I sit and watch."
Lin Xuantong: ...
Lin Xuantong's mouth twitched slightly, his hand holding the teacup paused, and he shook his head helplessly.
"We are discussing things, not joking."
"I'm not kidding."
Lei Miaoyun leaned casually on the couch, with a lazy posture and a smile on the corners of his eyes and eyebrows. It was obvious that he didn't take this matter to heart.
"Although the Guixu Land has been secluded for a long time, it doesn't mean that people here will never come out. Perhaps they've been cooped up for too long and want to come out for some fresh air."
Lin Xuantong looked at her and gritted his teeth in anger.
"The qualifying round is approaching, and people from Chaoyin Pavilion have appeared. Aren't you worried?"
"What are you worried about? Originally, all the sects are eligible to participate in the sect ranking competition. There is nothing wrong with them participating in the ranking competition. Do you really want to stop them?"
Lei Miaoyun blinked at Lin Xuantong provocatively, her eyes full of ridicule.
"Or, since they haven't participated for a long time, you've already excluded them in your mind?"
Lin Xuantong was speechless when he heard this. Of course he didn't want to do that.
