The villain, Xiao Nanliang, caused the female lead excruciating pain.

solve?

You're the one who solves the problems, aren't you?

"Your Excellency..." Although Dugu Xuanyang was also afraid of death, he was even more afraid of his ancestors' legacy being destroyed in his hands. He clenched his fist slightly and looked at the two people in the center of the pit: "Isn't this going too far?"

"So what happened?" Su Qi and Jiang Ying asked in unison.

They don't deny it at all; they're blatantly telling you that they're bullying you.

"Do you two really think my holy land is without anyone?"

Dugu Xuanyang's voice was icy cold, as if he was already prepared for a fight to the death.

"There are only two of you. If we all rush at you..."

To everyone's surprise, Su Qi and Jiang Ying became instantly excited upon hearing this.

"Fine, you really do have malicious intentions! Then none of you are leaving!"

He immediately pointed his gun at the person next to him.

Unexpectedly, before he could even fire a shot, Dugu Xuanyang was kicked to the ground by someone.

"If you're going to risk your life, go ahead and do it yourself. Don't drag me down with you. I'm only a little over 8,000 years old and still have a long life ahead of me. I don't want to risk my life with you."

After finishing his rant, the old man coughed and looked at Su Qi and Jiang Ying, speaking with righteous indignation.

"I have long been disgusted by the corruption of this sacred land. All these years I have endured humiliation and hardship, only to regret that I have not met a wise ruler. Today, seeing you two with your upright figures and imposing presence, I am certain that you can open up a bright future for the Sky Dome Continent. If you two do not reject me, I am willing to become your sworn brother... cough cough cough, I become your sworn brother!"

Su Qi and Jiang Ying were stunned by the old man's eloquent speech.

Even more stunned than them was Dugu Xuanyang.

"Brother Yi... Brother Yi, are you going to betray the Xuan Yin Holy Land?"

And why does this sound so familiar...?

Soon, Dugu Xuanyang remembered.

Back then, this sworn brother offended the ancient clan. In order to save his life, he publicly worshipped his own father, the previous Xuan Yin Holy Lord, as his sworn father.

Isn't this exactly what he said back then?

"Don't call me sworn brother. Over the years, I have endured humiliation and accepted a traitor as my father. Even my beloved new wife... was forcibly taken by the old thief Dugu on our wedding night. My heart... is in so much pain!"

His voice was heavy, and he was filled with grief at the end.

Those who heard this were all deeply moved; it was a heartbreaking scene that brought tears to their eyes.

But to Dugu Xuanyang, all he felt was an urge to vomit blood, and he pointed a trembling finger at the old man.

"You...you mustn't make false accusations! Back then, it was you who secretly drugged my father and your wife to make them do something wrong while they were drunk in order to steal the ascension spot. You made them feel guilty and gave you the ascension spot!"

"Later I found out that your so-called beloved wife was someone you just picked up randomly. You conspired with her; you helped her get close to my father, and she helped you secure a spot for ascension!"

"The reason I haven't exposed you all these years is because your cultivation has reached the level of a Loose Immortal, and you still have some use. Otherwise, do you really think someone as despicable as you deserves to be called my sworn brother?"

Those who had initially sympathized with the old man were immediately speechless upon hearing this, their expressions instantly turning to disdain.

"Hey, hey, hey... don't make baseless accusations. Let's not talk about me, but about my new wife. How could someone as pure and innocent as her joke about her chastity? What woman would joke about her chastity?"

The old man looked at the group of female protagonists, attempting to gain their empathy by using his status as a woman.

But Dugu Xuanyang smiled.

"You dare mention that woman again? Do you know what she did after my father died? Aren't you curious about where she's been all these years?"

"She knew I disliked her, so in order to continue enjoying the resources of the Holy Land, on the night of my father's funeral, she tried to seduce me in the same way."

"After I found out, in order to save her own life, she confessed to the conspiracy she conspired with you back then!"

Dugu Xuanyang took out a photo-recording stone.

"Here is her testimony!"

Then he started playing it in front of everyone.

After reading it, everyone thought the old man was really awesome, he could even come up with such a method.

Why didn't I think of that back then?

First, he randomly picks a woman, then goes around putting on an act and showing affection for others.

On their wedding night, the plan was to get the adoptive father drunk, make him sleep in the same bed as his new wife, and then exploit his guilt to gain personal benefits.

These methods... tsk tsk tsk, no wonder they can become immortals.

"Sparasi, is this what they call the holy land?" Jiang Ying felt like her eyes had been opened.

She didn't hesitate to shoot this cunning old man.

The moment the bullet struck, an extremely cold aura instantly froze the old man and his soul, then shattered him into dust.

This is the American-style Iaijutsu of the cultivation world, where every bullet is a pre-stored ultimate move.

"Pah, serves you right!" Dugu Xuanyang spat, then looked at the others.

"See? No one will accept a two-faced person like that."

"Yes, you should join forces with Saint Master Dugu and fight us to the death!"

Su Qi smiled and glanced at everyone one by one.

"Our weapon is called a gun. You have no hope of fighting at long range, since you need to use hand seals to charge it up, while I only need to pull the trigger lightly. However, as long as you can get within seven steps of me..."

Upon hearing this, many people were intrigued. Within seven steps?

If they all rushed in, perhaps...

Before they could even figure it out, Su Qi uttered the second half of the sentence.

"I can kill you all quickly and accurately!"

"Yes, yes, it's better to get closer, then we don't even need to aim!" Jiang Ying nodded in deep agreement.

The people in the holy land fell silent.

At this moment, Dugu Xuanyang seemed to hear someone's voice transmission. His eyes lit up at first, but then he hesitated.

Su Qi didn't need to guess to know what Dugu Xuanyang was thinking.

First, agree to disband the Holy Land, and then after you leave safely, slowly figure out a way to deal with him and Jiang Ying.

After thinking for a long time, Dugu Xuanyang nodded.

"Alright, I can disband the Holy Land!"

"Then please make the announcement, Your Majesty. It just so happens that all the cultivators on the entire continent are currently concentrated in Zhongzhou."

Su Qi smiled, he hadn't expected the problem of the Holy Land to be solved so easily.

Once Dugu Xuanyang announces the matter, the Holy Land will be nominally destroyed, and this world will once again become ownerless.

In this way, Ying Muxue and her group can rightfully take over this continent by virtue of their prestige in eliminating the demonic Heavenly Emperor.

This is not just about power; it also means redistributing the pie.

At that time, countless powerful individuals will join their ranks, vying for a share.

Once the momentum is established, the holy land will no longer be a threat.

Of course, the Holy Land, now crippled by the Hermitage and Ye Feng, is not something to fear, but even a starving camel is bigger than a horse, so it's always good to be cautious.

Moreover, the Holy Land is still considered an ally for now. The Holy Land would dare to betray an ally, but these female protagonists probably wouldn't do that.

Upon hearing Su Qi's conditions, Dugu Xuanyang fell silent.

Clearly, he had considered this as well.

To be honest, he wanted to refuse, but it was pointless.

Because if he doesn't shout, someone else will shout for him.

There were also wandering immortals present. These people, who could no longer continue their cultivation, no longer needed the holy land's offerings. To them, the holy land was merely a place to live.

In order to survive, someone will surely agree.

Only holy lands and ancient clans possess the ability to cultivate immortals, and thus, immortals can represent holy lands and ancient clans.
