Starting With 100 Million Lives

Jin Pi, Zhengxu, and the others rushed forward.

They interrupted Bi Ying first and were about to take him away.

This was actually to save Bi Ying’s life.

Because deep down, they also felt that the old ancestor was too excessive.

Just now, he shattered his Sea of Souls and forced him to bow three times and kowtow nine times, completely destroying Bi Ying both physically and mentally. It was simply absurd.

Reflecting on themselves, if they were Bi Ying, they would probably be rebellious too.

Unfortunately, Bi Ying was already overwhelmed and unable to calm down.

"Don’t stop me!"

With red eyes and flailing arms, he shouted curses at Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable.

"I just want to curse this old dog!"

"Not even supporting your own people, but suppressing them instead. What right do you have to be the ancestor?"

"What kind of thing are you?"

"I spit on you..."

The Emperor Pill Masters from Yidan Stream were already shocked by this extremely severe act of insubordination.

Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable’s face turned ashen.

Internally... he was secretly delighted.

Yes, secretly delighted.

Jiang Cheng’s third condition was for him to personally kill Bi Ying.

He was worried about not having a reason.

Now, with Bi Ying’s disrespect towards him, he found the ’justifiable reason’ for his execution.

"You vile creature, how dare you."

"What do I dare or not, you old dog no longer deserve my respect. Do you think I still fear you?"

Celestial Venerable Bi Ying was already prepared for the worst.

Never had he been so unrestrained in his life.

"At worst, I won’t stay in the Celestial Pill Department anymore..."

Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable shouted fiercely: "You damn traitor, are you going to rebel against the Celestial Palace?"

Bi Ying actually didn’t plan to rebel against the Celestial Palace, only intended to change departments.

But Yi Yuan didn’t give him the opportunity to clarify.

"I gave you chances repeatedly, but you insisted on going against the whole Celestial Palace..."

"Such a rogue, how can I keep you?"

As soon as the words fell, his sword also swung out.

Jin Pi, Zhengxu, and the others were taken aback and screamed.

"Ancestor..."

"Don’t..."

But it was already too late.

By the time their voices came out, Celestial Venerable Bi Ying had been slain on the spot by Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable, in a righteous act of familial extermination.

After the kill, he sheathed his sword.

With head held high and a face full of authority, he exuded a righteous air.

"Even if Bi Ying disrespected me, I, the old ancestor, have a broad mind and can overlook it."

"But he shouldn’t have, above all, rebelled against the Celestial Palace!"

"That’s a capital offense!"

"I will report this matter to the Law Enforcement Department, and it’s over!"

What else could the others say?

Looking at the lifeless corpse of Celestial Venerable Bi Ying, all the Emperor Pill Masters of Yidan Stream remained silent.

They inexplicably felt a hint of sadness.

The old ancestor appeared, and everyone expected him to support them.

But he not only released the person but also made everyone apologize, and finally personally forced Celestial Venerable Bi Ying to death.

Just this one incident, Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable’s image in their minds had plummeted several layers.

He was no longer as lofty and supreme as before.

And the reason for all this was entirely due to that young man who communicated with the old ancestor telepathically—Jiang Cheng!

They stared at Brother Cheng intensely, nowhere near considering him as just an ordinary Emperor Realm Ninth Layer.

How could there be an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer that could converse equally with a Daoist Venerable?

How could there be an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer that could compel a Daoist Venerable to make so many bizarre concessions?

They finally understood that Jiang Cheng was quite extraordinary.

But exactly what was extraordinary about him, they could not guess no matter how hard they tried.

After completing the three conditions, Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable extended his left hand towards Jiang Cheng.

"Now you can hand it over."

His expression was very calm, neither joyful nor sad.

In reality, he was already teetering on the edge of exploding.

He even secretly swore that if Jiang Cheng reneged, he would immediately kill him without hesitation!

However, his worries were unfounded.

Brother Cheng conscientiously tossed the Memorial Immortal Artifact over without batting an eye.

Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable caught it with lightning speed.

Then he waved his hand, quickly setting up a barrier that isolated perception.

Others on the side watched in utter confusion.

They had no idea what seedy deal had been reached between these two.

But Yin Yi beside Brother Cheng came to a realization.

"So you blackmailed him with the events of that day?"

As soon as her words fell, the barrier burst open, revealing Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable’s furious face.

He rushed up to Jiang Cheng, almost nose-to-nose with him.

"You tricked me?"

Just now in the barrier he played the recording from the Memorial Immortal Artifact, it wasn’t from the day of kowtowing and calling grandfather, just the footage of Yidan Stream and Ancient Pill Stream arguing earlier.

It must have been recently recorded.

How could he not be enraged?

I did those three difficult tasks.

And you handed me a swapped fake Memorial Immortal Artifact?

"I didn’t."

Sect Leader Jiang expressed his innocence.

"What I gave you was exactly the one I had just taken out."

"As a Daoist Venerable, you should be able to tell, right?"

The furious Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable was momentarily stunned.

Even if the exterior of each Memorial Immortal Artifact looked similar, as a Daoist Venerable, he could detect the slightest unique characteristic in them. Even if it’s just a different bacteria on the surface, it wouldn’t escape a Daoist Venerable’s detection.

So he knew that he had gotten the same Memorial Immortal Artifact Jiang Cheng used to blackmail him earlier.

It hadn’t been swapped.

Thus, he extended his hand once again, demanding sternly.

"How come? Where’s the Memorial Immortal Artifact from that day, hand it over!"

"Which day?"

Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable said angrily: "Don’t feign ignorance, the day at the Reception Department!"

Brother Cheng shrugged with a bewildered look.

"I didn’t record anything that day, where would the Memorial Immortal Artifact come from?"

"What did you say?"

"I really didn’t record anything, are you stupid?"

Jiang Cheng had a look like he was seeing a fool.

"There were Divine Monarchs and so many Daoist Venerables present, if I had recorded, would they not have noticed?"

Oh, well?

Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable thought for a moment, and indeed that was the case!

Thinking about it, Jiang Cheng was just an Emperor Realm Ninth Layer.

Oh no, he was an Emperor Realm Eighth Layer that day.

How could he possibly under the noses of so many Daoist Venerables and Divine Monarchs, stealthily activate the Memorial Immortal Artifact and record the scene?

Were all those Daoist Venerables and Divine Monarchs eating grass?

So...

"Is there really no Memorial from that day?"

"None at all." Jiang Cheng honestly gave him a definitive answer.

Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable let out a slight sigh of relief.

If that supposed Memorial didn’t actually exist, then his ’black history’ from that day would never have evidence.

He would never have to worry about that incident being dug up again.

Following that, he jumped up.

"How dare you, trick me like this!"

Thinking about all he just did?

Those three conditions were each harsher and more excessive than the last!

After fulfilling all three tasks with quality and quantity, his prestige in Yidan Stream had fallen several levels.

And now he’s told that, in fact, there was no need to do those three things?

This, this, this...

This could simply make someone so angry they lose their mind.
