Dual cultivation makes you stronger, everyone else is a prodigy, and I'm the only one slacking

The Second Elder's short beard had faded, and just as he was about to speak, his originally deep voice became high-pitched and melodious.

"No! My voice..." Elder Shen Er suddenly covered his mouth.

Before he could finish speaking...

The originally rugged male facial features also changed, alternating between fortitude and gentleness, making it both comical and bizarre.

Yu Luoning, Cui Xiu, and the others knew the whole story.

Watching the Second Elder of the Shen family switch between male and female voices, he clutched his stomach, barely suppressing his laughter.

Yu Luoning felt a little regretful. Was it only the Second Elder of the Shen family who secretly activated the secret technique in advance?

It would be even more interesting if he were to pass on this technique to the Shen family after he returns.

At this moment, the expressions of the Shen family members changed drastically.

Before they could get forward, screams of agony came from both the Wen family's camp and the Huan family's camp.

Someone looked down at their own slender, silvery-white finger bones, their expression dazed and bewildered.

"Why did it turn out like this? My..."

At this point, Yu Luoning completely lost her composure.

She laughed heartily, leaning on Cui Xiu's shoulder and gently punching his arm. Cui Xiu looked at her with doting eyes and a smile in his eyes.

Yue Qi slightly furrowed his brows. "A withered tree comes back to life, a reversal!"

As the cold, clear voice faded away.

The two elders whose bodies had undergone abnormal changes froze on the spot. Their skin and flesh began to regenerate, but unfortunately, the mental technique that Lian Fei had tampered with was extremely powerful and domineering.

This transformative technique was abruptly blocked in the middle, clashing with Yue Qi's power of reversal.

Soon after, the men vomited large amounts of black blood, their bodies convulsing and trembling.

Their eyes were filled with fear and despair as they stared intently at Yu Luoning. "It's you! The inheritance jade slip is fake."

Upon hearing this accusation against her, Yu Luoning immediately protested, "Hey, hey, hey, don't make baseless accusations! You all keep saying that the Path of Ten Thousand Emotions is a wicked art that harms the world. But you yourselves secretly practiced it and fell under its spell, and now you blame me, this poor little thing who held firm to my conscience and wasn't tempted? Have you no shame?"

Shen Yuan's face turned ashen as he looked at his cousin, who was now neither male nor female, and he was furious.

Yu Luoning looked completely innocent. "Just now, Lord Yueqi made it very clear that he was only allowed to explore, not to make a copy, and even less allowed to cultivate."

"If you had just checked honestly, how could you have suffered a backlash from this technique? It's not like I forced them to memorize the incantation."

Shen Yuan was speechless for a moment.

At this moment, Yue Qi spoke coldly, "I have examined the jade slip, and it is genuine. The backlash they suffered must have been caused by triggering a restriction within the inheritance."

Upon hearing this, Shen Yuan immediately fell silent.

The elders who had suffered the backlash knelt on the ground and kowtowed in the direction of Yue Qi.

Their voices were broken and strange, sometimes rough, sometimes thin, "We know we were wrong, please, God, save us..."

Yue Qi said, "It's not that I didn't want to help. You violated the rules of the Divine Judgment, and this mental technique was left behind by an ancient powerhouse. It cannot be taken back by my power. If you want to fully restore it, you will have to find another opportunity."

These words struck like a bolt from the blue, and the elders, who were reaping the consequences of their actions, turned pale.

One of them, unable to accept his androgynous appearance, roared at Yue Qi, "If you hadn't made us investigate the authenticity of the jade slip, how could we have suffered so much?"

Yu Luoning: "??"

Yue Qi glanced at him condescendingly, a hint of sarcasm playing at the corners of her lips.

Yue Qi looked down at the group, his gaze indifferent. With a casual wave of his hand, a silver chain shot out, binding four of the seven elders tightly.

With his level of cultivation, how could he not sense that someone coveted his cultivation technique?

The fact that he didn't stop it didn't mean he hadn't noticed.

Since some people are ungrateful, he should handle the matter impartially.

"You have unauthorizedly copied the inheritance of the Myriad Emotions Path, defying the laws of the divine realm."

"cut!"

Shen Yuan's expression changed. "Divine Lord, the elders were just confused for a moment!"

Yue Qi tilted her head slightly, her silver eyes coldly scrutinizing him.

"A moment of confusion? If it were Yu Luoning who cultivated the Path of Ten Thousand Emotions, would the Shen family use those four words to excuse her?"

Shen Yuan immediately fell silent, while Yu Luoning, upon hearing this, raised her eyes to look at Yue Qi on the high platform.

She had been trembling with fear, thinking that Yue Qi might use his position to settle personal scores, but it turned out that she had been judging a gentleman by her own petty standards.

Unexpectedly, Yue Qi, mindful of Xing'er's feelings, spoke up for him.

The next moment, before anyone could react, the four elders who had copied the cultivation techniques burst forth with spiritual light, their bodies crumbling like rubble and disappearing completely.

The seven families from the outer realms immediately dared not say anything more.

But Shen Yuan was unwilling to admit defeat so easily. Not only did he fail to obtain the true inheritance of the Dao of Ten Thousand Emotions, but he also lost a fellow clansman.

He was furious and pointed at Yu Luoning, shouting, "Even if those four people violated the rules of the Divine Judgment, it doesn't prove that the demoness is innocent. Although the jade slip was destroyed, she must have seen the real Myriad Emotions Dao Heart Manual."

"We beg the Divine Lord to search and examine your soul!"

As soon as he said that, Cui Xiu's aura turned cold.

Shi Shangxu and Feng Qiguang both took a step forward, their expressions cold and solemn.

The atmosphere was silent.

Yue Qi spoke up, "I have already investigated. She has never cultivated the Path of Ten Thousand Emotions, nor has she used it to harm anyone. Soul searching and identification would severely damage her soul, so it is unnecessary."

"But the Path of Ten Thousand Emotions is different from ordinary cultivation methods, if..."

Yue Qi interrupted, "Enough! If you can prove that she harmed people using the Path of Ten Thousand Emotions, I will punish her. If not, you cannot draw conclusions based on events that have not yet occurred."

The faces of the people from the outer realms grew increasingly grim. They had originally thought that Yue Qi was a powerful backer invited by the Divine Realm, but they did not expect that he would not protect the outer realms at all, but instead side with this little bastard Dong Bao.

The group exchanged glances. Seeing Yue Qi's attitude, the Wen family patriarch knew that there was no possibility of continuing the plan, and a shadow of gloom flashed across his eyes.

He suppressed his anger and glanced at the person beside him out of the corner of his eye.
