This is the true immortal of the Taoist sect.

Nangong Yue covered her head, looking at Li Daoxuan with resentment, and said:

"How am I being unreasonable? It's clearly you who bullied the weak and oppressed the vulnerable..."

Li Daoxuan sighed, turned to look at Xu's daughter-in-law, and said calmly:

"Since you're so stubborn, you can't blame me."

Nangong Yue was shocked and quickly stretched out her hands to block Li Daoxuan.

"What are you going to do?"

Although Xu's daughter-in-law did not know what Li Daoxuan was going to do, she knew that if Li Daoxuan wanted to deal with her, she would have no ability to resist at all.

So without any hesitation, she turned and ran.

How could these two possibly withstand Li Daoxuan?

Li Daoxuan didn't even make any movement, nor did he take out the Soul-Suppressing Bell; he simply moved his divine sense.

Xu's daughter-in-law, who had already run some distance away, froze on the spot, then slowly turned around, her expression blank, as if she had lost her soul.

Nangong Yue turned around and looked at the numb Xu family daughter-in-law. Her heart tightened suddenly, and an inexplicable fear surged into her heart.

"What...what did you do to her?"

Li Daoxuan said calmly:

"Just asking her to be honest."

Nangong Yue subconsciously took a few steps back, her hand gripping the sword turning white at the knuckles.

Xu's daughter-in-law stopped in front of the two of them, staring blankly ahead, her eyes filled with gloom.

"Tell me, why is the Xu family pursuing you? What have you done?"

As Li Daoxuan asked his questions and Xu's daughter-in-law answered, Nangong Yue's expression grew increasingly grim, eventually turning into one of gritted teeth.

This woman's name is Hongmei, and she is indeed the daughter-in-law of Old Man Xu.

Old Man Xu's son has a leg problem and is almost thirty years old, but he still hasn't found a wife.

Later, through an introduction, Xu Laohan met Hongmei. He spent his life savings and even incurred a lot of debt to raise ten taels of silver to marry Hongmei and make her his son's wife.

Who knew that Hongmei was actually a swindler who colluded with the matchmaker, with the aim of swindling Old Man Xu out of his ten taels of silver betrothal gift.

The day after marrying Xu the Cripple, she thought of secretly running away.

After being discovered by the Xu family, she was locked up.

However, the Xu family was kind and did not mistreat her. They continued to treat her well, hoping that she could carry on the Xu family line.

Who would have thought that Hongmei, feigning compliance, would stab her disabled mother-in-law to death with a pair of scissors once the Xu family relaxed their guard. While the men of the Xu family were out working, she dismembered the old woman into eight pieces and threw her into a well, then cleaned it up so that the Xu family did not notice for a while.

Hongmei planned to escape after nightfall, which is when the incident came to light.

After hearing Hongmei's confession, Nangong Yue was already furious.

"What a vicious woman... When she failed to marry him, she brutally murdered and dismembered her mother-in-law. Such a beast deserves to die..."

After saying that, Nangong Yue drew her sword and was about to kill Hongmei directly.

A sword strike imbued with rage is so powerful that even martial arts masters at the fourth level of cultivation would have to dodge it.

Just as Nangong Yue's sword was about to pierce Hongmei's throat, a hand precisely grabbed the tip of the sword.

Nangong Yue frowned and said angrily:

"What are you doing? Are you going to let her go?"

Li Daoxuan said helplessly:

"Can't you calm down a bit? Why are you always so impulsive?"

Nangong Yue was taken aback upon hearing this, and her expression became somewhat embarrassed.

Li Daoxuan is right. She was the one who wanted to save Hongmei before, and she is also the one who wants to kill her now.

"Then what should we do? Let her go?"

Nangong Yue sheathed her sword and muttered a question.

Li Daoxuan shook his head, not answering her, but instead beckoning to Hongmei and saying:

"Walk..."

Hongmei remained expressionless, like a puppet on a string, following Li Daoxuan down the mountain.

Nangong Yue quickly caught up and asked Li Daoxuan from beside him:

"Are you going to hand her over to the Xu family?"

Li Daoxuan glanced at her.

What do you think?

Nangong Yue said "Oh" and fell silent.

But the silence didn't last long before he asked again:

"But if the Xu family kills her, won't they be sued for defamation? If someone reports it to the sect's administration office, given the way those sects do things, they won't ask about the reasons for the incident. Even if they don't punish her, it will probably cost them a lot of money."

Li Daoxuan glanced at her again and smiled:

"You seem to know a lot, so why are you being so impulsive..."

Nangong Yue was stunned for a moment, her expression turning somewhat unpleasant.

"Oh dear... I didn't mean to..."

At this point, Nangong Yue suddenly paused, then turned her head and looked at Li Daoxuan with a wary expression.

"If you hadn't mentioned it, I would have forgotten. I came here specifically to deal with you."

"Rumors circulate that you've been inciting villagers, extorting money, and even taking lives..."

As she spoke, Nangong Yue's voice grew softer and softer, and her gaze toward Li Daoxuan became increasingly puzzled.

"Are these... real?"

Li Daoxuan shook his head helplessly and smiled:

"I'm very curious, how did someone like you manage to survive in this world?"

Nangong Yue was immediately displeased.

"What's wrong? Why can't I roam the martial world and right wrongs? My master even said I'm a once-in-a-century genius..."

Li Daoxuan rolled his eyes and pointed to his head, saying:

"To survive in the world, you need more than just strength; you also need brains."

"You came here to slay demons and monsters based on just a few rumors you heard. Have you even considered whether those rumors are true? Even if they are, what kind of strength do I, this demon, possess? Can you even handle me? If you can't beat me, do you have any means of survival? Can you even escape?"

Have you thought about all of these things?

Nangong Yue stood there, stunned, her face flushed.

"I...how could I not have thought of that? Even if you're incredibly capable, how incredibly capable can you be?"

"My master said that even if there's someone more skilled than me within a 500-mile radius, they're definitely not young. You're so young..."

Li Daoxuan said, not knowing whether to laugh or cry:

"What kind of master have you chosen? How can you teach your disciples like this?"

You should know that Li Daoxuan's disciple ascended from the Jingming Cave Heaven and has at least the strength of the sixth level of heaven.

However, Li Daoxuan still told them to go into seclusion to improve their cultivation, at least to form the Core Formation and possess the strength of an Earth Immortal before venturing into the world.

This girl's master is something else, praising his disciple so highly, isn't he afraid of her falling to her death?

"You're not allowed to talk about my master..."

Li Daoxuan ignored her and headed towards Banyan Tree Village with Hongmei.

"ah..."

A short while later, Nangong Yue suddenly called out again.

Li Daoxuan frowned and said:

"What's wrong now?"

Nangong Yue pouted and pointed at Li Daoxuan angrily, saying:

"I understood. What you just said meant I'm brainless, you were calling me an idiot..."

Li Daoxuan's lips twitched; he really couldn't do anything about her.

His gaze swept over Nangong Yue's chest, and he couldn't help but think to himself:

"Women with big breasts really are brainless..."
