Chapter 1165: Such Cooperation
When Celestial Venerable Bi Ying uttered the words ’unable to accept,’ he was officially sentenced to death in Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable’s heart.
I, the Yidan Stream Ancestor, when ordering Jin Pi and Zhengxu, the Third Grade Immortal Officials, their resistance was understandable.
But you, Bi Ying, mere Fifth Grade Immortal Official, what are you?
Could it be that I can’t control you?
Originally, he was hesitant about the third condition to execute Bi Ying.
Now he had no reservations at all.
He didn’t even bother to say a word, directly triggered Immortal Power and Divine Soul, forcefully suppressing Celestial Venerable Bi Ying!
That overwhelming Immortal Power was about to crush Bi Ying on the spot!
On the side, Jin Pi and Zhengxu and others were trembling with fear, not daring to utter a sound.
Bi Ying instinctively raised his Immortal Power to resist.
However, he was merely a Celestial Venerable, unable to withstand the Daoist Venerable’s suppression.
In just an instant, his Immortal Power collapsed on the spot.
The whole person fell directly from the air.
"Ancestral Master, Ancestral Master, have mercy..."
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable paid no heed.
His Purple Soul drove straight in, launching a merciless attack on Bi Ying’s Main Soul.
Faced with a Purple Soul an entire tier higher, compounded by the crushing Immortal Power, Bi Ying was completely powerless to resist.
His Main Soul quickly became riddled with holes, severely damaged, and he nearly lost consciousness.
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable showed no mercy, disregarding the consequences of such actions.
Quickly binding his Main Soul in a corner of the Sea of Souls.
And the control over Bi Ying’s body had mostly been seized by him.
This situation wasn’t possession, but the effect was hardly different.
At this point, Bi Ying essentially became his puppet, doing whatever he commanded.
Thus, Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable controlled Bi Ying’s body, confronted Yue Yao, and straightforwardly knelt down.
Having been bullied by Bi Ying for years, Yue Yao was already panicked.
Seeing him in front of her, she was already sixes and sevens.
Seeing him kneeling before her made her utterly terrified, and she hurriedly followed suit.
Sect Leader Jiang held her up.
Jokingly, he thought, I’m extending conditions to boost your self-confidence in life, don’t waste it.
Then, before everyone’s eyes, ’Celestial Venerable Bi Ying’ performed a standard three kneels and nine kowtows to Yue Yao.
Behind them, Jin Pi and Zhengxu gripped their fists tightly, shaking all over, nearly grinding their teeth to pieces.
Although they weren’t the ones kneeling, they were here to back Bi Ying today.
This scene signified a total defeat for Yidan Stream.
To them, it was utterly humiliating!
Nonetheless, they had no authority in front of Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable.
Simply watched ’Bi Ying’ kneel before the next person.
Even Taiheng Daoist Venerable across was deeply shocked.
He looked at Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable in disbelief, completely puzzled.
This long-time colleague and rival now seemed unfamiliar.
All of this was too inexplicable, completely indecipherable!
"Yi Yuan, have you... changed?"
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable thought disdainfully, I haven’t changed a bit; I wish I could destroy you all.
This is a matter of being blackmailed with secrets, with no way out.
"Hmph, I cannot tolerate sand in my eyes, always asking for right and wrong, not equity!"
Having done it, he could only concoct a plausible reason.
"Even if they are my people, they must be punished if wrong!"
It might have been better had he not said it.
Saying so, everyone’s jaws almost dropped.
Increasingly suspecting if he’d gone mad.
Taiheng Daoist Venerable directly burst into laughter.
"Such righteous words... from you, Yi Yuan?"
"Are you kidding me?"
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable’s expression turned unnatural, but he forced himself to keep it.
"Hmph, do you think I’m colluding like Ancient Pill Stream?"
The others beside were bewildered whether he spoke truth or lie.
But they at least knew that this shift followed Jiang Cheng’s secret communication.
Hence, Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable’s unusual behavior was solely because of Jiang Cheng.
Liuyuan and others were observing Bi Ying kowtowing, while curiously pondering.
"Sect Leader Jiang, what kind of magic did you use?"
"Yes, what exactly did you discuss with Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable?"
"Why would he cooperate so willingly?"
"This is too incredible..."
Brother Cheng glanced at them, then teasingly looked at the equally curious Yan Yi.
"Didn’t you say I made considerable concessions, offering many benefits?"
"So, keep guessing."
Liuyuan and Qing Huan smiled wryly, shaking their heads.
"Please don’t joke with us, Yi Yuan behaving this unusually couldn’t result from mere concessions?"
"I perceive he is evidently reluctant."
"Indeed, only a fool would believe it was due to the benefits."
Yan Yi’s eye twitched slightly, her expression turning unnatural.
Previously, she confidently claimed Jiang Cheng made concessions privately, hence securing the release.
Now, it seemed she was indirectly branded a fool.
This was indeed awkward.
"Unmentionable, unmentionable!"
Brother Cheng shook his finger, smilingly glanced at Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable glaring at him.
"Professionally confidential, rest assured on secrecy."
Upon hearing this, Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable exhaled relievedly.
Yet he bore no favorable sentiments towards Jiang Cheng, still wishing to dismember him.
Meanwhile, Celestial Venerable Bi Ying completed seven repetitions of three kneels and nine kowtows under his direction.
At this stage, he finally withdrew his Purple Soul.
Phew!
Celestial Venerable Bi Ying began restoring his consciousness.
Previously pretending injury, but now genuinely severely afflicted.
Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable seized control without regard to consequences, employing the most drastic means.
Inflicted destructive blows to his Divine Soul and Daoist Heart.
This time, he truly was as ruined as in his previous feigned acting.
Reflecting on the recent events, facing Yidan Stream Emperor Pill Masters’ complex looks, Bi Ying felt profound humiliation.
The instigator behind it all, his mentality crumbled completely.
He stared intently at Yi Yuan Daoist Venerable, the greatly revered Yidan Stream Ancestor.
"Ha!"
"Ha ha ha ha..."
He suddenly laughed into the sky.
The laughter contained endless anger and hatred.
"Yi Yuan, you vicious wretch..."
His mentor Jin Pi shivered, urgently interrupting him.
"Bi Ying, be careful with your words!"
Cursing the ancestor as an old dog directly challenged authority, surely leading to expulsion in the Pill True Realm.
"Bi Ying, have you gone mad..."
"Ancestor, Bi Ying is confused, I will take him down for healing!"
