It turns out, they were the main characters.

"However, since the Third Prince doesn't trust him, I'll advance the 500,000 spirit stones first. Is that alright?"

When Ye Lingxuan finished speaking, she handed the storage ring in her hand to Mu Zhian.

"If there really are demon cultivators in Tianhe Garden, then all the spirit stones in this storage ring will be given to the Third Prince."

Ye Lingxuan turned her head to look at the Third Prince, and suddenly changed the subject, saying calmly, "But if this trouble is just the Third Prince making things difficult for Brother Mu out of personal revenge, then please offer a million spirit stones, slap yourself ten times, and admit your mistake, how about that?"

The Third Prince's expression changed slightly; he clearly hadn't expected that the girl who had suddenly barged in would change the situation in an instant.

"Sister Lingxuan, aren't you afraid of wasting 500,000 spirit stones?" Mu Zhian looked helplessly at the girl beside him and sighed softly.

Ye Lingxuan smiled and said softly, "I believe Brother Mu is innocent."

At this point, she looked up at the Third Prince and said with a smile, "Since Your Highness is so certain that there are demon cultivators in Tianhe Garden, surely you wouldn't dare not?"

The Third Prince's expression stiffened slightly.

The other party's confident demeanor made him somewhat lose confidence.

But when he looked up at the Heavenly Measuring Ruler pointing straight at Tianheyuan in mid-air, he gritted his teeth and said, "Fine! If I have wronged Young Master Mu today, I will slap myself ten times and offer a million spirit stones within three days!"

"Words are meaningless; let's make a vow instead." Ye Lingxuan stared at the Third Prince expressionlessly.

Although she usually looks like a sweet and innocent young girl, the aura she exudes at this moment is more like that of an empress—aggressive and irresistible.

Why does it feel like Lingxuan is black even if she's cut open...? Mu Zhian looked at the girl's delicate and flawless profile and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

The Third Prince took a deep breath and said, "If I fail to find the demon cultivator at Tianhe Garden today, I will slap myself ten times and offer a million spirit stones within three days. If I disobey, may I be struck by lightning!"

Mu Zhian then spoke up: "If the Third Prince's words are confirmed, I am willing to offer 500,000 spirit stones and let the sect decide my fate."

Boom!

A thunderclap resounded across the sky, as if witnessing the vow the two had made.

In the world of cultivation, cultivators who fail to fulfill their vows in the future will suffer divine retribution.

Even if they survive the divine punishment, every tribulation they face in the future will be several times more difficult than for ordinary people.

Once a vow is made, it cannot be changed.

Ye Yu stared at Ye Lingxuan, who was extremely intimate with Mu Zhi'an, and at the focused look in her eyes when she looked at Mu Zhi'an, and his heart couldn't help but twist.

Regardless of whether Mu Zhian has any issues in the end, it doesn't matter whether the Third Prince or Mu Zhian dies.

Of course, Mu Zhian's death would be the best outcome...

This time, he only needs to be a spectator!

……

"Master, do you really think Bai Ruoxi is a demon cultivator?"

High in the distance, a young man in a white robe stood with his hands behind his back, turning his head to ask the deputy chief of Huabao Peak.

Ning Shuwen slowly shook his head and smiled, "If she is a demon cultivator, then we'll leave it at that. If not, we can go down and verify it for her later."

"As for now... let the Third Prince make a scene on his own."

"Of course, if we're going to try to win them over later, we need to do it as soon as possible," Ning Shuwen added.

The commotion caused by the Third Prince naturally reached the attention of all the cultivators in the sect who were not in seclusion.

Not only the cultivators of Huabao Peak, but probably many high-ranking members of sects are secretly observing this scene under the sky.

If it is indeed a demon cultivator, then suppress it.

If it weren't for the demon cultivators, this would have been just a minor squabble among the sect disciples, and there would have been no need for the elders to get involved.

The Third Prince raised his head, stared at Mu Zhi'an, and said in a deep voice, "Young Master Mu, may we now enter Tianhe Garden to investigate?"

"If that demon cultivator notices our commotion and runs away, neither of us can bear such a crime."

Mu Zhian raised his head, gazing at the gradually dissipating tribulation clouds beneath the sky, and suddenly said, "It seems the oath has taken effect..."

The Third Prince frowned slightly, about to speak.

At this moment, Mu Zhian nodded slightly and said, "Third Prince, please proceed."

Looking at Mu Zhian's seemingly indifferent expression, the Third Prince felt inexplicably uneasy.

But now that the die is cast, there's no turning back.

Moreover, the Demon-Measuring Ruler's reaction has become increasingly intense since it first began.

There are definitely demon cultivators in Tianhe Garden!

The Third Prince raised his hand and put the Demon-Measuring Ruler into his palm. He turned his head and looked at everyone, then clasped his hands and said, "I ask everyone present to be my witnesses. If there really is a demon cultivator here, then let's capture him together."

Having said that, he strode off in the direction indicated by the Demon Measuring Ruler.

Behind him, a group of cultivators followed one after another. In the sky, Ning Shuwen and his disciple exchanged a glance and secretly followed.

The moment the Third Prince stepped into Tianhe Garden, the surface of the Demon Measuring Ruler lit up with an even stronger pink light.

Click.

A crisp cracking sound rang out, causing the Third Prince's expression to change slightly.

Ning Shuwen strode over, glanced at the Demon-Measuring Ruler in the Third Prince's hand that had developed a slight crack, and said, "You all step back."

Not only are there demon cultivators in Tianhe Garden, but they are also demon cultivators with extremely terrifying strength; otherwise, the Demon Measuring Ruler wouldn't have shattered!

The disciples of those sects all recognized Ning Shuwen's identity. Seeing that even the deputy leader's expression was so solemn, they couldn't help but tremble in their hearts.

Just how terrifying is the demon cultivator in Tianhe Garden?

The Third Prince watched this scene and secretly sneered in his heart.

Ye Yu's brows furrowed slightly, though unconsciously.

He felt that something was not quite right.

Is Bai Ruoxi really that strong enough to make this deputy chief take her so seriously?

Ning Shuwen turned to look at Mu Zhian and said seriously, "Do you know what a serious crime it is to harbor a demon cultivator?"

Mu Zhian remained humble and composed, cupping his fists and saying, "Reporting to the head monk, this junior was unaware of the existence of demon cultivators in Tianhe Garden."

The Third Prince immediately retorted, "Even the Demon-Measuring Ruler couldn't withstand such a massive amount of demonic energy. You, who live in Tianhe Garden every day, actually claim you didn't know that? You probably don't even believe yourself, Young Master Mu, do you?"

“Harboring a demon cultivator is a capital offense, but if you voluntarily hand over the demon cultivator, I can report to the sect and make an exception for you, requiring only a hundred years of confinement in the back mountains,” Ning Shuwen said.

Mu Zhian said helplessly, "But this junior really doesn't know anything about demon cultivators..."

He paused, looking at the demon-measuring ruler pointing to a certain room, as if he had thought of something, and suddenly said: "Speaking of which, a friend just moved into Tianhe Garden a few days ago... The person the demon-measuring ruler is pointing to seems to be her."

“However, I don’t think she is a demon cultivator,” Mu Zhian continued.

"Whether someone is a demon cultivator or not is for the chief to decide, not for you," the Third Prince sneered.

"Is that what you mean, senior?" Mu Zhian looked up at Ning Shuwen and asked respectfully.

Ning Shuwen nodded slightly.

"Since you've said so, senior... then alright."

Mu Zhian walked to the front of the villa, slightly opened his mouth, and uttered a strange syllable that no one could understand: "Aaa!"

As the sound faded, people vaguely heard a creaking sound of a door opening.

The commotion in the crowd instantly subsided, and countless eyes were fixed on the direction where the door had opened.

A stunningly beautiful silver-haired woman emerged from the doorway.

She wore no makeup, her long hair cascaded down like a waterfall, her figure was well-proportioned, and her bright red eyes held a curious gaze toward everything in the world, clear and bright, as she observed the people present with a puzzled look.

"who is she?!"

"So beautiful..."

A commotion arose in the crowd.

The third prince was also somewhat stunned.

Then, when he saw the Demon-Measuring Ruler pointing directly at the silver-haired beauty, he suddenly realized what was happening, turned to look at Mu Zhi'an, and said in a deep voice:

"Young Master Mu, you're lying through your teeth! With such a dense demonic aura, how dare you say she's not a demon cultivator?!"

The silver-haired beauty had faint scales covering her neck, and the spiritual energy emanating from her was different from that of human cultivators. What else could she be but a demon cultivator?

Mu Zhian did not answer, but turned to look at Ning Shuwen and respectfully clasped his hands in greeting:

“Deputy Chief, I actually think there should be a distinction between demon cultivators and demons. However, if you still consider her a demon cultivator—”

"Then, junior, I've brought her here now."

"The head of the household—"

Just as the Third Prince was about to speak, he noticed that Ning Shuwen was staring intently at the silver-haired beauty. After a brief moment of stunned silence, Ning Shuwen seemed to have thought of something, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

Senior Spirit Dragon?!

In mid-air, the Demon Measuring Ruler silently floated, emitting an unprecedentedly strong pink light, its arrow pointing directly at Lin Ling.

Finally, the Demon-Measuring Ruler could no longer withstand such overwhelming demonic energy and shattered completely into powder.

Lin Ling seemed not to understand what was happening. She looked around blankly, glanced at Mu Zhian with a questioning look, and then, noticing Ning Shuwen's gaze, tilted her head slightly.

"Aaa?"

Chapter 123: Giving You Another Chance to Reorganize Your Language 3K

In this world, demon cultivators and demons should actually be distinguished.

To be precise, there are demons even in the Eastern Continent, but they are very, very few, and they do not belong to the demon realm.

In a sense, the spirit dragon also falls into the category of "demon".

Because the spiritual energy emanating from her body was also demonic energy.

Now everything is clear: the demon cultivator that the Demon Measuring Ruler just pointed to is clearly the Spirit Dragon!

Hearing only a gentle "Aaa" that was incomprehensible to her, Ning Shuwen felt an immense pressure, causing cold sweat to pour down her back.

The title of Deputy Chief of Huabao Peak is a powerful and intimidating title in most parts of the Liangyi Sect.
