the table.Life is very vibrant here.But oddly, there was no one inside or outside the house.Except for this cottage, there was no one to be seen in the entire vista.Not even insects or birds could be..."About the recent events involving the Half-Spirit race, I believe Master Shangqing has some understanding of them," Zhengze said.

Shang Qing nodded gently and said, "I know, the teacher left seclusion yesterday, and I also know. The day before yesterday, we had a meeting inside the Order, also discussing this matter of the Half-Spirit race."

"That's right, the teacher is preparing a elite team to search for clues related to the Halflings within Beidu... But currently, there are not enough people, so he wants to borrow some elites from your Order." Zheng Ze said.

"Elite... We, the Order, would call a mage elite if they were at least four stars. But judging by my understanding of Huixu, he definitely wants mages five stars and above," Shangqing smiled.

Zheng Zejian, upon hearing Shangqing say this, felt hopeful and inquired, "Shangqing Great Master, not only are you willing..."

“As for me, of course I am willing. However... even if I sent my own students, they would still have to pass the test set by Master Tianchen,” Shangqing said.

Zheng Ze's face changed slightly, and he said: "Master Shangqing, could you please use a pretext to have these monks leave"

"Like Mo Xiu, using the excuse of taking students on a journey for experience That's possible... but..."Shang Qing frowned, as if contemplating something.

Fang Yu looked at Shang Qing, his eyes flickering slightly.

"Alright, I'll come up with the perfect solution first and then let you know the results." Shangqing pondered for a moment, then said.

"Alright, then I'll trouble Master Qingda to do so." Zheng Ze said respectfully.

"Rest assured, with how close I am to Huixu, I'll definitely do my best to help." Shangqing said.

Then we shall take our leave first. Zheng Ze rose and clasped his fists, saying.

He had no good feelings toward Master Tianchen, and now that he was at the Order of Righteousness, he felt extremely uneasy, wishing he could leave immediately.

"Would you like to stay for a while longer" Shangqing asked.

"We have other things to take care of, so…" Zheng Ze explained.

"Well then, I shall send you on your way." Shang Qing said, waving his right hand forward.

"Bang!"

The surrounding scene immediately changed.

Soon, the scene before them returned to what it was like at the door.

But before this scene could last two seconds, it suddenly changed again.

This time, the scene before them transformed into a grand hall with an elevated throne at the front.

And on either side of the main hall stood two rows of male and female monks in robes.

Above the dais sat a male mage with long, black hair but a very old face.

He wore a robe that shimmered with golden hues, and in his right hand, he held a staff. It appeared ordinary at first glance, but the gemstone embedded at its top emitted a dazzling array of seven colors.

Fang Yu squinted at the staff.

A staff, surprisingly, emanated the auras of several kinds of energy simultaneously.

Divine power, spatial power, various elemental powers...

While Fang Yu was staring at the staff, the mages on either side of the hall were also sizing up the two newcomers.

"Are you a disciple of Huixu How could you sneak in without even greeting me" the master on the high seat asked.

At this moment, Zheng Ze's face was extremely ugly.

"This is Master Tianchen" Fang Yu looked at the mage above, his eyes slightly moving.

At this moment, in front of Fang Yu and Zheng Ze, another figure suddenly appeared.

It is the Master Shangqing, whom I just saw.

"Master Tianchen, they came to me just to discuss some trivial matters, nothing..." Shangqing looked at Master Tianchen in front of him and explained.

"Get out of my way, I didn't ask you to." Tianchen frowned slightly and waved his hand dismissively.

Sheng Qing opened her mouth, let out a sigh, and could only step aside.

“I heard everything from our conversation just now.” Master Tianchen’s mouth curled into a sarcastic smile. “Wanting to borrow people from my Order of Harmony Why doesn't he come himself Sending two little disciples over Is this disrespecting me, or disrespecting the Order of Harmony”

Since you look down on us, why do you come to us with your face plastered with flattery and ask for people

"Are we at Kaishi Hall now"

Zheng Ze's face turned ashen, he gritted his teeth and remained silent.

And all the other mages present bowed their heads, not daring to show any expression.

In their eyes, Master Tianchen has always been a rational, calm, and wise helmsman.

But as soon as he mentioned Huixu, Master Tianchen's whole demeanor changed.

His words, his expression, and the look in his eyes, were filled with undisguised contempt and disgust.

"Go back and tell Huixu that the Order won't lend him a single person. As for the matter of the Half-Spirits, we of the Order will handle it entirely. He should just go back to his manor and enjoy his retirement." Master Tianchen said with a mocking tone, "To have governed the Martial Arts Association for so many years yet not find a few competent subordinates is truly a disgrace to the world."

Faced with Tianchen Master's relentless sarcasm, Zheng Ze's face grew increasingly grim, anger rising in his heart.

He recalled that incident, the one that had wounded him and left his comrade with lifelong regret…

He couldn't hold back any longer!

Even if the person in front of me were a great astrologer!

"Master Tianchen, you can refuse to lend me the artifact, but please respect my teacher!" Zheng Ze raised his head and said angrily.

Upon hearing this, the faces of the mages beside him shifted slightly.

They didn't expect Zheng Ze to dare to retort!

This is Master Tianchen!

"What's your name Zheng Ze" Tianchen Great Master narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at Zheng Ze.

"I am," Zheng Ze retorted, glaring at Tianchen the Great Mage.

"Think what I just said was wrong" Heavenly Master Tianchen raised an eyebrow and asked.

"Yes!" Zheng Ze said firmly.

Tianchen the Great Master didn't get angry, but instead smiled and stroked his beard, saying: "Alright then, if you admit that what happened back then was your own fault, I will agree to lend you a batch of people."

At these words, Zheng Ze's breath quickened and his temples throbbed.

This is blatant mockery and provocation!

“Back then, we did nothing wrong! It was those Orderers who were the despicable ones…” Zheng Ze said angrily.

"Smack!"

The moment the word "villainous" left his mouth, Zheng Ze's cheek was slapped by an invisible force, the sound sharp and loud.

Zheng Ze stumbled and fell to the ground.

“Anyone who defames order within my temple, not even a teacher would dare to do so.” Tianchen Grand Master glared down at Zheng Ze lying on the ground, his voice cold as ice. “This is a truth-telling spell. If your words are lies, the will of the Dharma God will punish you for me. If you don’t believe me, you can try again.”

At this moment, Zheng Ze's mouth was bleeding, his eyes were bloodshot, and he stared at Tian Chen, the great mage on the high platform, and said again: "To the Orderer... despicable..."

"Bang!"

Another crisp sound rang out.

This time, the force was significantly greater. Zheng Ze flew several meters to the side, with more blood flowing from his mouth.

Anger made Zheng Ze tremble, but facing the powerful Tian Chen Grand Mage, he was utterly helpless.

Shengqing let out a sigh and took a step forward, saying, "Tianchen, the other party is just a junior after all. There's no need to..."

"Tianchen Lao Gou, is a despicable and shameless villain."

At that moment, a calm voice suddenly sounded from behind.

All the people in the entire hall changed their expressions.

The mages, who had been bowing their heads on either side, all raised their heads and looked toward the source of the sound.

It was Fang Yu, who had remained silent all along.

At this moment, Fang Yu had a faint smile on his face as he looked at Tianchen Great Master sitting on the high seat.

The entire audience was silent.

"Didn't hear me I'll say it again, Tianchen the old dog, is a despicable, shameless, low-life scum." Fang Yu said, "This time, should you be able to hear clearly"

The surroundings were still deathly quiet.

Everyone widened their eyes, staring at Fang Yu, their faces filled with shock.

This young man... actually dared to speak to Master Tianchen like that...

This is no longer a matter of courage…

All the assembled monks turned their heads nervously, looking up at Master Tianchen on his high seat.

"Aren't there truth spells If I lied, that so-called willpower would punish me. But now, it hasn't punished me at all." Fang Yu wore a playful smile on his face and continued, "Which means everything I said is the truth. A despicable, shameless, low-class wretch..."

"Bang!"

Master Tianchen slammed his left hand down onto the armrest of his chair, shattering it instantly, and suddenly stood up.

He gripped his staff tightly in his right hand, the seven-colored gem at its top flaring with a powerful light, aimed directly at Fang Yu! Hong Yaizu and Fei Qi."Restore all the buildings that should be in Tiandao Gate. Everything that's supposed to be there, has to be there, understand" Fang Yu instructed."Understood."
