Once I enter the pass, great Confucian scholars will surely debate the classics for me.

Inside the council hall of the Demon Extermination Alliance's main immortal ship.

The three celestial beings, Immortal, Compassionate Voyage, and Myriad Manifestations, each sat firmly in their high positions, surrounded by a hundred celestial immortals.

Outside the council hall, three hundred celestial beings awaited orders.

With just a command from the Heavenly Venerable, they could rush in and capture and kill the Demon God on the spot.

Two groups of people stood in the center of the hall.

One side consisted of seven people led by Zhou Qingfeng, and the other side consisted of six people led by Peng Jin.

Cihang Venerable, holding prayer beads, said, "Immortal, why have you summoned me here?"

The Immortal Celestial Venerable said calmly, "Cihang, I ask you to be a witness and watch a good show."

The compassionate Venerable Cihang had kind eyes and eyebrows. Upon hearing this, he was as happy as Maitreya Buddha: "Watching a show is good. I love watching a show. You will not die. Please begin your performance."

The Undying Celestial Venerable remained calm, his gaze indifferent: "The protagonist of tonight's drama is not me, Wanxiang. You said there are demonic spies among my disciples. Are you referring to the seven siblings of the Ye family?"

The Celestial Venerable of All Things remained calm and said decisively, "Yes, they are indeed the demonic spies who have infiltrated the Allied Forces."

He had already fallen victim to Huangfu Yunzheng's calamity-level spell, the Emperor's Mind Technique, and it was entirely of his own volition.

This technique is strange and ingenious; it can leave a mental imprint on a person's mind.

For example, if the ideology of the empire's inevitable victory is imprinted, then the cultivators who have been affected by the Emperor's Mind Technique will firmly believe in the empire's victory under any circumstances and will have no doubts.

For example, if the mind imprint of absolute loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor is implanted, then even if the cultivator who has been affected by the Emperor's Mind Technique is a great traitor, he will still maintain absolute loyalty to His Majesty the Emperor.

The person under the spell will not show any abnormalities on a normal day and will remain exactly the same as before. However, under certain awakening conditions, the person under the spell will immediately have their thought imprint activated and will act in accordance with the thought imprint.

Even if the caster suddenly changes their mind and wants the victim to act against the imprint of thought, they cannot change the victim's behavior of acting against the imprint of thought, because this is an irreversible spell once it is cast.

There are many restrictions on the conditions under which this technique can be used.

First, the victim must have a high degree of trust in the practitioner.

Secondly, the victim must be completely unprepared.

Thirdly, the person affected by the spell must be willing; otherwise, it will not succeed.

Fourth, it is only effective for cultivators of the same or lower rank.

Although this technique has many restrictions, only members of the Python-Sparrow royal family can practice it. Any cultivator from outside the royal family who practices the Emperor's Heart Technique will be executed as a traitor, and this technique is not included in the rankings.

To be precise, the royal arts and physical techniques practiced by the Python-Sparrow royal family are not included in the ranking.

Huangfu Yunzheng once found Wanxiang Tianzun, confessed his origins and identity, and promised to help Wanxiang Tianzun leave the breeding world. Even if he went to the Five Turbid World, he could take him as his lackey.

When the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations learned that this realm was nothing more than a breeding ground, and that even after tens of thousands of years of arduous cultivation, even if he were to break through the realm and ascend, he would only become food for others, his Dao heart almost collapsed.

Fortunately, Huangfu Yunzheng appeared, bringing him hope and offering to take him away from the world of animal husbandry.

The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations was of course a million times willing, even though he possessed supreme status, supreme power, and supreme strength in this world, and could completely achieve whatever he wished and do as he pleased.

But... in the end, they were nothing more than food raised by powerful beings in the upper realm.

He wanted to see a bigger world and escape his fate as food, so he decisively abandoned all his current status, position, and power, just to become Huangfu Yunzheng's watchdog in this turbid world.

He betrayed the Three Realms and joined the demon gods of the Upper Realm, becoming a treacherous immortal.

She willingly fell victim to Huangfu Yunzheng's Emperor's Heart Technique.

When Peng Jin shouted the command, "Loyalty that is not absolute is absolute disloyalty."

The mental imprint that Huangfu Yunzheng had implanted into the body of the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable was immediately awakened.

Even though Huangfu Yunzheng is dead, he cannot escape the control of the Emperor's Heart Technique.

The only words Huangfu Yunzheng imprinted on the mind of Wanxiang Tianzun were: "Avenge Huangfu Yunzheng!"

Whether Wanxiang Tianzun is willing or not, he will avenge Huangfu Yunzheng, and he will not personally notice anything unusual; everything illogical will be automatically rationalized in his mind.

Even if Huangfu Yunzheng is dead and he can't keep his promise, he will still avenge Huangfu Yunzheng.

However, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations still negotiated new conditions with Peng Jin, namely, that Huangfu Yunzheng's corpse must be left for him to possess. As long as he possessed Huangfu Yunzheng's body, he believed he would have a chance to leave the world of breeding.

Upon hearing the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable's unwavering words, a strange light flashed in his eyes: "Myriad Manifestations, if you are so certain that they are spies of the Demon God, do you have any evidence?"

The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations said coldly, "If I say they are demon gods, then they are demon gods. Do I need proof?"

The Immortal Celestial Venerable said calmly, "Isn't it necessary?"

The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations did not back down: "Do you need it?"

The Immortal Celestial said, "I believe evidence is needed. After all, they are my people. They made great contributions in killing the Demon God earlier. Now, without any proof, you, Wanxiang, want to kill them based solely on your word?"

"Then can I also just point at your subordinates and call them demon gods, and kill them at will?"

Upon hearing this, all the immortals in the council hall nodded in agreement, agreeing that the Immortal Celestial Venerable's words made sense.

Ci Hangtian Zun stood by, smiling without saying a word, simply watching the spectacle.

The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations glanced menacingly at Zhou Qingfeng not far away. With just a word, hundreds of Celestial Immortals would flood into the hall and capture and kill Zhou Qingfeng on the spot, but he could not do that.

Because the Immortal Celestial Venerable would not allow him to do so.

If Zhou Qingfeng were killed without any evidence, it would be tantamount to slapping the face of the Undying Celestial Venerable, clearly telling everyone that the Undying Celestial Venerable is trash, and that he can kill his people whenever he wants without the Undying Celestial Venerable uttering a sound.

How can the Undying Celestial Venerable be a Celestial Venerable and lead all immortals in the future? Therefore, regardless of whether Zhou Qingfeng is a demon god or not, he must produce evidence. Otherwise, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations cannot kill him at will.

"Alright, as for evidence, of course I have it." The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations snorted coldly and called out, "Peng Jin."

Upon hearing this, Peng Jin immediately stepped forward, bowed, and glanced at Zhou Qingfeng with a slightly complicated expression.

They thought that with the help of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations, they could easily crush Zhou Qingfeng and his group without causing any trouble or alarming the other Celestial Venerables.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Qingfeng was so astute that he realized the precarious situation in advance and quickly asked the Undying Celestial Venerable to intervene. However, this was not enough to change Zhou Qingfeng's fate of defeat and death.

He then patted his storage bag and took out the disguised corpse, which was Huangfu Yunzheng, but the three calamities aura on his body had been dispelled by a secret technique.

Then he pointed at Zhou Qingfeng not far away: "Esteemed Heavenly Venerables, I can testify that he is a Demon God."

“My friend Huangfu Yunzheng overheard their conversation and learned that they were actually disguised demon gods. When they discovered that Brother Huangfu had heard the secret, they tried to kill him to silence him.”

"Fortunately, Brother Huangfu escaped quickly and managed to come back and tell us about it. A few of us friends discussed informing the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Phenomena about it, but we didn't expect that these demon gods would come after us and secretly ambush and kill Brother Huangfu."

"They even wanted to kill us to silence us, so we had no choice but to take Brother Huangfu's body away temporarily and urgently report the matter of the demon god's spy to the Heavenly Venerable of Myriad Phenomena."

Shui Zheqian also stepped forward to testify: "I can also prove that he is the Demon God. Not only is he the Demon God, but the six people around him are all disguised Demon Gods. They are the ones who killed Brother Huangfu."

“Yes, we can also testify that they killed Brother Huangfu.” The remaining four team members stepped forward to testify.

Zhou Qingfeng wasn't entirely unjustly blamed, because he did kill the person. However, Zhou Qingfeng certainly wouldn't admit it now, otherwise he would have been captured and killed on the spot by Wan Xian.

Upon hearing this, Zhou Qingfeng remained calm and composed. On the contrary, Xiao Hongyun, Ye Tingxiu, and others around him were eager to defend themselves. Seeing this, Zhou Qingfeng calmly gestured to them to calm down and not panic.

Peng Jin sneered inwardly. The witnesses and the corpse were all there, and the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable had stepped in to take sides. Zhou Qingfeng, even if the Undying Celestial Venerable intervened, so what? He could still kill you.

The Undying Celestial Venerable looked at Zhou Qingfeng and said calmly, "Ye Tingxiu, do you have anything to say? Now that we are confronting each other in front of the palace, with the three Celestial Venerables present, say whatever you have to say, and I will make the decision for you."

Zhou Qingfeng remained calm and composed, smiled slightly, bowed and clasped his hands, saying, "I have nothing to say."

Seeing this, the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations' eyes flashed with murderous intent: "Did you hear that? The witnesses are here, the bodies are here, and he has no words to refute them. There's no need to interrogate him further. Guards, seize them!"

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a hundred heavenly generals from the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Land rushed into the council hall. These heavenly generals were full of killing intent, all of them were holding immortal weapons and wearing immortal armor, and each of them was an immortal who ranked in the Heavenly Immortal Realm.

The Immortal Celestial Venerable slapped the armrest: "Someone come here."

More than a hundred celestial generals immediately poured into the hall; they were all celestial immortals from the Immortal Land.

The atmosphere at the scene suddenly became extremely tense.

The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations said with a sharp expression, "Celestial Venerable of Immortality, what do you intend to do? It has now been confirmed that those seven are spies of the Demon God, and they have nothing to say. Are you still going to protect them?!"

The Undying Celestial Venerable coldly said, "Hmph, the seven siblings of the Ye family came to tell me that you have been controlled by the Demon God, and that they have discovered this secret. You and the Demon God are going to kill them to silence them."

"At first, I was skeptical, thinking that with your 30,000 years of cultivation as the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations, no one should be able to control you. But judging from the current situation, you are so eager to kill the seven siblings of the Ye family."

"I have to wonder if you have truly been controlled by the Demon God."

Upon hearing this, Ci Hangtian Venerable narrowed his eyes slightly and looked at Wanxiang Tianzun. Although he was very unhappy with Bu Si Tianzun, he and Bu Si Tianzun were on the same side when it came to matters of principle and the extermination of demon gods.

The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations was taken aback, clearly not expecting that his attempt to kill had backfired and brought trouble upon himself: "Nonsense! How could I possibly be controlled by a demon god? Celestial Venerable of Immortality, don't be misled by them!"

The Immortal Celestial Venerable calmly said, "I will investigate the truth myself. No one involved in this matter will escape scrutiny. But for now, I ask the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable to remain restrained and accept our scrutiny. Do not do anything that could cause misunderstandings, otherwise you will be forcing me and the Compassionate Sky Celestial Venerable to join forces to capture and kill you."

Ci Hangtian Venerable slowly spoke: "Wanxiang Tianzun, since this matter involves you, in order to clear your name of being controlled by the demon god, please do not interfere in this matter and cooperate with our investigation."

As soon as he finished speaking, more than a hundred celestial beings from the Heavenly Buddha and Immortal Lands poured into the council hall. The situation on the scene was completely one-sided, with the combined strength of the two celestial venerables completely suppressing the Myriad Manifestations Celestial Venerable.

The Celestial Venerable of All Things and Peng Jin and the others were dumbfounded, never expecting the situation to turn around.

Zhou Qingfeng chuckled softly without saying a word; everything was as expected.

The Undying Celestial Venerable calmly said, "I do not want blood to spill in the council hall, nor will I protect the seven siblings of the Ye family. They will also be imprisoned and await investigation. In short, I will not wrong anyone, unless some people are guilty and dare not accept the investigation."

The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations glanced at the Celestial Venerable of Immortality, then at the Celestial Venerable of Compassion, and then weighed the power balance. He realized that he was no match for them. The two Celestial Venerables working together could easily crush him to death. Moreover, the two Celestial Venerables had twice as many Celestial Immortals as he did. If he refused to accept the investigation, he would probably die here today.

But accepting the investigation is not an option. Peng Jin and his group are genuine demon gods. Once they are locked up in prison and their backgrounds are thoroughly investigated, they will definitely be exposed. There is no need to think twice. Even if the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations had a hundred mouths, he would not be able to explain himself. Besides, he is not really clean. He is a real traitor.

The Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations suddenly stood up, his expression sharp and resolute, and said, "Don't try to argue with me. Investigate however you want, but don't even think about imprisoning me. At worst, we'll just stand there and call it quits!"

As the words of the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations fell, the Celestial Immortals of the Myriad Manifestations Immortal Land rushed to the Celestial Venerable of Myriad Manifestations' back, summoning their celestial artifacts and forming hand seals to show their support for their Celestial Venerable.

The atmosphere at the scene grew increasingly tense, and an invisible killing intent was already gathering in the air.

Seeing this, Zhou Qingfeng retreated behind the crowd and quietly hid in a corner. He sensed that the current situation seemed to be heading towards collapse and loss of control.

As someone involved in the situation, he had no power to control it. From the moment the Three Venerables left the scene, he had no control over the situation. All he could do was assess the situation and prioritize his own survival.

Xiao Hongyun, Ye Tingxiu, and the others quietly followed Zhou Qingfeng back to a corner.

"Captain, what do we do?" Ye Tingxiu asked in a low voice.

Zhou Qingfeng responded in a low voice: "Keep a low profile. If a fight really breaks out, we'll run away first."

Ye Tingxiu let out a low "Ah": "Why did you run?"

Zhou Qingfeng said, "Don't you understand? No matter how this matter ends, we will all be imprisoned and investigated. Our background can't withstand scrutiny; once investigated, we'll be exposed."

Ye Tingxiu suddenly realized: "Oh~~~ I understand."

Two flowers bloom, each telling its own story; the surviving team has already begun its operation.

A hundred miles away, three hundred prodigies were ready to set off.

Led by Qin Xinsu and the First Duanmu, the three hundred prodigies were all prepared to die, and were determined to launch a night raid on the demon-slaying coalition, behead the Heavenly Venerable, turn the tide, and achieve a desperate counterattack.

If the plan succeeds, it will become a legend in the history of the Heavenly Pride Tournament.

If the plan fails, then so be it. They can accept failure and death because they are prodigies. Prodigies have pride and dignity. They can die, but they absolutely cannot die a cowardly and ugly death.

The battle for the top spot is a one-way street with no retreat.

Even knowing that the road ahead was fraught with peril, no one retreated, no one was afraid; they vowed to fight to the death, to fight with dazzling brilliance, to fight until all the heroes of the world knew their names.

Only in this way can one live up to the name of a prodigy.

Seeing that the time was right, Qin Xinsu turned to face the three hundred prodigies. A mad and morbid smile appeared on her pure and flawless face. She raised one hand high and said, "Gentlemen, are you ready to become legends?"

The prodigies looked frenzied, suppressing their excitement: "We've been preparing for this day for a long time."

Upon hearing this, Qin Xinsu straightened her chest, raised her head, and suddenly pointed at the demon-slaying coalition army a hundred miles away: "The battle begins!"

The words fell.

The three hundred prodigies each unleashed their supernatural powers and techniques, charging towards the demon-slaying coalition like arrows released from a bow.

For them, the simpler the plan, the higher the success rate; the more intricate and complex the plan, the lower the success rate, because they are all forced to stick together, have no time to work together, and are unable to cooperate in combat.

Furthermore, because they are all exceptional individuals who are unwilling to play a supporting role to others, there is no point in discussing unified command and combat.

All Qin Xinsu could do was give everyone a common goal and then carry out a night raid and decapitation operation in small teams. Whether it would succeed or not depended on their individual abilities.
