I tricked you into thinking you had the makings of an emperor, but you actually did it?

The disciples present thought the same as Mo Zun: Shen Ming had backed down.

Regarding the elemental spirit, it's better to be safe than sorry.

Once the spiritual energy diminishes, it will affect cultivation for decades to come.

"Mo Zun, please apologize."

Shen Ming's words were astonishing.

"Should I apologize?"

Mo Zun doubted that he had misheard.

“You’ve been using Yuan Ling’s power to bully other disciples. Yuan Ling is angry. I’m giving you a chance to apologize,” Shen Ming said.

He said this without batting an eye, because in his eyes it was the truth.

To others, it's a different story.

This is simply the opposite of Tiangang!

Mo Zun laughed, too lazy to say another word.

At this point, you need to make the other party look like a clown trying to attract attention.

Xu Lingyue felt a little embarrassed, thinking that Shen Ming was too young and his bluffing was too forced.

Mo Zun boarded the flying boat, and Ji Tian smiled contemptuously and followed closely behind.

At that moment, everyone felt a sense of disorientation.

As if the earth were shaking, the spiritual energy of the entire Xiaoyao Peak surged.

Several ancient trees rise abruptly from the mountain, reaching heights of over a hundred feet, seemingly piercing the clouds.

The mountain streams have increased in volume, rushing and leaping, splashing water everywhere, like a silver ribbon dancing in the mountains.

The spray from that waterfall contains a hint of cold air, forming a natural icy pool.

This kind of cold pool is very beneficial to cultivation. The cold air tempers the cultivator's physical body, allowing spiritual energy to flow more smoothly and unimpeded within the body.

Wildflowers bloom in vast fields, vibrant in color and exuding a captivating fragrance. A gentle breeze stirs, and petals flutter down, like a dazzling rain of blossoms.

The birds sensed this positive change and came from all directions.

The most extravagant of all is the Golden Peach Spirit Tree deep within Xiaoyao Peak.

It began to glow in broad daylight, like a gleaming lighthouse, radiating dazzling light.

"The Golden Peach Spirit Tree! It's that Golden Peach Spirit Tree! Wasn't it said to have withered and died?"

"Not only has it survived, it's also undergoing a transformation!"

Everyone ran to the base of the Golden Peach Tree.

The entire tree seemed to be enveloped in a layer of dazzling golden light, and the branches appeared even more vigorous and powerful under the golden glow.

"Wow, that's awesome?!"

Shen Ming himself was extremely surprised.

After the Golden Peach Tree undergoes its transformation, it will be able to bear golden peaches that last for a hundred years.

Before this, no matter how much spiritual liquid Shen Ming poured on the golden peaches, they would only be ten-year-old peaches.

This is the upper limit of the quality of the spirit tree.

Now, the Moon's Elemental Spirit has directly elevated this spirit tree to a higher level.

No wonder they say the primordial spirit is the master of the grotto-heaven!

"Golden peaches! This tree has already produced golden peaches!"

A barrage of intense gazes fell upon Shen Ming, filled with envy and greed.

Once, the disciples of the true master got into a fight over the golden peach, causing chaos and disorder.

Even if Shen Ming is now in charge of Xiaoyao Peak, it doesn't affect their greed.

"You have golden peaches on you?!"

Mo Zun abandoned his arrogant demeanor and stared intently at Shen Ming.

"So what if I have it?" Shen Ming said with amusement.

This question stumped everyone. Yes, Xiaoyao Peak is Shen Ming's sacred mountain, and all spiritual objects belong to him.

Their attempt to steal was a violation of the sect rules, which directly alerted the Hall of Rewards and Punishments.

"The spirit tree bears nine fruits each time. You can eat a maximum of four at a time, and you can sell the rest to me."

Mo Zun said, "As the senior disciple of Shuiyue Cave Heaven, I can guarantee that no one will dare to covet your Golden Peach Spirit Tree."

Good grief, you're the only one eyeing the Golden Peach Spirit Tree.

Mo Zun snorted coldly and continued, "Your Ling Mountain doesn't have a great formation. It's possible that someone could sneak in and burn it down while you're away or in seclusion. Don't underestimate the evil in human nature."

Shen Ming never underestimated this point, but it was laughable to hear it from Mo Zun.

"Is this the time to talk about this?" he countered.

Because of the changes at Xiaoyao Peak and the golden light emanating from the Golden Peach Spirit Tree, everyone forgot what had happened before.

Shen Ming is making Mo Zun apologize!

After Mo Zun ignored it, the spiritual essence of Xiaoyao Peak underwent a transformation.

Hearing Shen Ming's words again, it seemed that it was not a coincidence.

Could it be that Shen Mingcai represents the Yuanling faction?!

Was the change at Xiaoyao Peak something that Shen Ming had the Moon Spirit do on his own initiative?

Mo Zun frowned. To be honest, he was indeed intimidated for a moment.

But soon, a look of disdain appeared on his face.

People only judge others using their own thought patterns.

Cowardly and timid people cannot understand courage; they only see it as recklessness.

Selfish people cannot understand dedication; they will only think it is foolish.

Mo Zun believed that Shen Ming, like him, was creating momentum through some means.

Shen Ming may have made a deal with Yuan Ling in some way to change the spiritual essence of Xiaoyao Peak.

But what then?

Did he think he could use this to suppress me as a manifestation of the Yuanling spirit? Please, he's already done that trick before!

The spirit that helps you improve your spiritual mountain does not mean it will help you punish others.

Yuanling does not possess such logical thinking!

At this moment, someone hurriedly appeared in the sky above Xiaoyao Peak in a flying boat.

"Senior Brother Mo? Senior Brother Mo, where are you!" the person shouted.

"I am here."

For some reason, Mo Zun felt a sense of unease.

"Senior Brother Mo, something terrible has happened!"

The person who came was Mo Zun's close disciple, and he hurriedly came to his side.

Mo Zun snorted coldly, and an invisible burst of true energy struck the man's chest.

"Are you trying to embarrass me by being flustered in front of outsiders?" Mo Zun said coldly.

"Senior Brother Mo, something has happened at Longhao Peak. A sudden gust of demonic wind destroyed the Spirit Plant Garden, and the Heavenly Spirit Pool has withered for some unknown reason," the visitor said with a mournful face.

These words caused a huge uproar!

Everyone looked at Shen Ming, their greed and jealousy vanished, replaced by awe.

No, you are serious!

Mo Zun panicked; Long Haofeng was his sacred mountain.

The Spirit Plant Garden in Lingshan is planted with rare spiritual plants such as Ice Cup Flower, Nianwu Spirit Ginseng, and Dragon Blood Fruit.

It is one of his main industries.

That's not all; Long Haofeng's Heavenly Spirit Pool is the most magical.

Simply taking a bath every day can help one break through cultivation levels.

Now it's all gone, all gone.

Mo Zun's eyes were bloodshot. The thing he often used to scare others had actually happened to him.

Just who exactly is this Shen Ming?

Enraged, he dared not retaliate.

If we continue to offend them, Mount Ling might even be gone.

There's nowhere to seek justice in this matter, because even the higher-ups of the Xuantian Sect can't find Yuanling.

"Indeed, there is a balance in all things."

Shen Ming, however, remained the most composed. The spiritual energy that had increased on his Xiaoyao Peak came from Mo Zun's Longhao Peak.

"I beg forgiveness..." Mo Zun said with difficulty.

"late."

Shen Ming didn't give him that chance.

Mo Zun shuddered, his heart bleeding.

Ji Tian, ​​on the contrary, felt a sense of relief, fortunately, his Ling Mountain did not belong to Shuiyue Cave Heaven.

Otherwise, given his direct conflict with Shen Ming, his fate would only be worse.

"It's all gone."

Shen Ming was getting a little tired of it and waved his hand.

Neither the disciples on the ground nor those on the flying boat dared to disobey.
