Qi Lin stood behind this Daoist Yun and saw that his hands were clenched into fists, his knuckles trembling, clearly trying his best to suppress his anger.

"Junior brother..."

Duanmu Yao sighed, raised his right hand, gently patted Yun Muzhi's shoulder, and earnestly advised, "Now that you have completed the pardon mission, you must turn over a new leaf and start anew. You must never repeat the disrespectful act of offending your master's wife six years ago."

Upon hearing this, the many disciples watching nearby all wore subtle expressions, whispering and discussing amongst themselves.

Qi Lin thought Yun Mu would get angry.

But in fact, Yun Muzhi calmed down and buried his emotions deep in his heart.

"Senior brother is overthinking it," Yun Muzhi said calmly. "What happened six years ago was a misjudgment. Since junior brother has never done such a thing, there is naturally no question of 're-offending'."

"Hehe, the verdict of the Enforcement Hall cannot be erased in a few words," Duanmu Yao chuckled.

"Yes, the verdict of the Enforcement Hall cannot be erased in a few words."

Yun Muzhi smiled and repeated the sentence, then took a step and brushed past Duanmu Yao, "Senior brother, I have other important matters to attend to, so I'll take my leave first. Farewell."

"..."

Seeing this, Qi Lin, Elena, and Catherine followed Yun Muzhi's footsteps.

However, just as Qi Lin approached Duanmu Yao, this Daoist Master of the Tianyuan Dao Sect suddenly stretched out his right hand and blocked the path of Qi Lin and the other two.

"Ok?"

Qi Lin frowned and glanced at the man with his golden vertical pupils.

"you you you."

With his left hand behind his back, Duanmu Yao pointed at Qi Lin, Elena, and Catherine with his right index finger. "You three outsiders, come with me now. As a Dao Child of the Tianyuan Dao Sect, I have the right, the obligation, and the responsibility to conduct a detailed investigation into your identities to determine that you three pose no threat to our Yuanqi Realm."

"What if I say no?" Qi Lin said indifferently.

“Then you are making an enemy of the Tianyuan Dao Sect,” Duanmu Yao said calmly.

Chapter 416 The Sect Master Makes a Move!

"..."

Qi Lin stared coldly at Duanmu Yao in front of him, his golden vertical pupils flashing with a cold light.

Duanmu Yao stared at him expressionlessly.

Neither of them spoke again.

But the tense, confrontational atmosphere was almost tangible, causing many of the nearby disciples to change their expressions slightly and involuntarily take a few steps back.

"Brother Qi, we absolutely must not go with him!"

At this moment, Yun Muzhi's voice suddenly rang in Qi Lin's mind, "As the three of you outsiders, once he takes you away, he can easily pin any crime on you with just a few words. So, you absolutely must not go with him! If he wants to use force, then fighting him is fine. As long as there are no casualties, my master will help us settle this matter! However... um... Brother Qi, in front of everyone, you'd better not transform into that... that, um, monster form, after all, it won't have a good impact."

"..."

Upon hearing this, Qi Lin's lips curled slightly, and he then flexed his wrists.

Cannot activate Devil Transformation, cannot be possessed by a demon?

Whatever!

Putting aside his demonic methods, he also possesses seemingly "magnificent and righteous" combat abilities such as holy swordsmanship and holy power, which would allow him to fight against this Daoist at the peak of the seventh realm.

"..."

Upon seeing Qi Lin's actions, Duanmu Yao's eyes narrowed, and several wisps of white sword energy gradually emerged between the index and middle fingers of his right hand, circling around his fingers.

"I'll say it one last time, get out of the way," Qi Lin said with a light laugh.

"I'll say it one last time: as the Dao Child of the Tianyuan Dao Sect, I have the right, the obligation, and the responsibility to conduct a thorough investigation into the identities of the three of you to determine that you pose no threat to our Yuanqi Realm," Duanmu Yao said indifferently.

"Heh, very good."

Qi Lin smiled and nodded, then looked away from the person, staring straight ahead as he continued walking.

"boom!"

Duanmu Yao unleashed a burst of white flames, his right palm swirling with sword energy, and slammed heavily towards Qi Lin's chest!

This Daozi made the first move.

Then Qi Lin can also begin to "defend himself".

"Ok?"

Just as Qi Lin was about to parry and counterattack, he suddenly saw an old man in white robes with a full head of white hair teleport in front of him, reach out and grab Duanmu Yao's wrist, blocking the palm strike for him.

Teleport?

No, that's not right.

There was no sign of any spatial fluctuation.

This old man didn't teleport; he was simply moving at lightning speed!

On one hand, it unleashed a speed that could be described as teleportation.

On the other hand, through some unknown method, it completely eliminated the airflow changes caused by high-speed movement... Eighth order?!

Qi Lin was completely unaware of the old man's movements, which could only mean one thing—the old man was stronger than him.

He is now at the peak of the seventh rank.

Therefore, this old man is at least an eighth-level expert!

"Greetings, Sect Master!"

At this moment, the many disciples who were watching nearby quickly bowed their heads and saluted the white-robed old man standing in front of them.

"Greetings, Sect Master."

Yun Muzhi also bowed in greeting.

"metropolitan……"

Duanmu Yao, whose wrist was being held by the old man, frowned slightly and said in a deep voice, "The backgrounds of these three extraterrestrial demons are not clean. For the safety of the Dao Sect and to prevent the Yuanqi Realm from repeating the mistakes of five years ago, I must conduct a thorough investigation of these three!"

"I will personally take charge of this matter."

The old man released Duanmu Yao's wrist and said calmly.

"what?!"

Duanmu Yao's expression changed slightly.

"Can't you hear me?" The old man glanced at him. "Do I need to repeat myself?"

"Uh, no need!"

Duanmu Yao quickly lowered his head and bowed, saying, "Yes, Sect Master!"

"Alright, go do your thing."

The old man waved his hand, then looked at the many disciples watching nearby, and calmly said, "Everyone, disperse, there's nothing to see here."

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

Duanmu Yao turned and left.

The surrounding disciples dispersed, no longer daring to gather and watch.

"Muzhi."

The old man looked at Yun Muzhi and said calmly, "Come and have your fortune told, right now."

"Huh? What does that mean?" Yun Muzhi was taken aback.

"Even if my divination last night was right or wrong," the old man said.

"Forehead……"

Yun Muzhi's expression was subtle, and he hesitated before saying, "Sect Master, the accuracy rate of divination that verifies the correctness of others' divination is not very good. Even if I get a result, it may not be able to prove whether your divination result is right or wrong... Um, also, if we are to verify the divination, you should at least reveal what you divined about last night?"

"Just do the divination directly," the old man emphasized.

"Yes."

Upon hearing this, Yun Muzhi stopped talking and took out a few worn-out copper coins and a few broken tortoise shells from his pocket, then fiddled with them for a while.

Qi Lin, Elena, and Catherine stood to the side, completely unable to understand his actions.

Anyway,

A moment later, Yun Muzhi retrieved the copper coins and tortoise shell, then looked at the old man and bowed, saying, "Sect Master, according to my divination results, your divination results last night were completely wrong."

"Are you sure?" the old man asked, frowning.

"This disciple dares not speak recklessly!" Yun Muzhi said in a deep voice, "but in this matter, this disciple is confident!"

"Oh?"

The old man then smiled and asked, "Then tell me, how exactly was my divination wrong last night?"

“Completely the opposite.” Yun Muzhi lowered his head and said, “In other words, if the divination result you received last night were completely reversed, then it would be the correct result.”

"it is good."

The old man nodded slightly, then waved his sleeve and left, saying, "That's all."

The sect leader of Tianyuan Dao Sect had only taken a few steps when he transformed into a cloud of mist and disappeared.

"Ok?"

Yun Muzhi raised his head and looked at the empty space in front of him, feeling somewhat puzzled.

"What exactly did that old man mean? It's so strange..." Elena scratched her head in confusion.

"Forget it, I won't think about it too much. Anyway, the sect leader is incredibly insightful and unparalleled in divination. He must have his own reasons for doing things."

Yun Muzhi shook his head slightly, then looked at Qi Lin and the other two and smiled, "In short, now that the sect leader is speaking up for us, Daozi will definitely not dare to cause trouble for you three for a while. We can rest easy for a while... Let's go now and return to Baiyun Pavilion."

"Ah."

Qi Lin nodded gently, took Elena and Catherine's hands, and followed behind Yun Muzhi on the way back to Baiyun Pavilion.
