Update)

Ear-shattering roars echoed from all directions, the vibrations resonating through the surrounding air.
The aura of over a dozen Divine Travel Stage practitioners soared into the sky, coalescing into a wild power mid-air, causing all faces to change drastically amidst the tempestuous scene.
People were terrified; they looked around with pale faces, as innumerable warriors of the Sea Dragon Clan surged toward them, creating huge waves of a terrifying aura. If a conflict broke out, these Sea Dragon warriors could wipe them all out with a single slap.
Both Elder Gu and Elder Qui, who were among the powerful practitioners in the Divine Travel Stage, were horrified!
No one had expected that in the vicinity of Sea Dragon Pool there would be so many Sea Dragon warriors. They were densely packed as pitch-black swaths. Crucially, like people blessed by heaven, the terrifying auras emanating from their bodies were overwhelming, transforming, and tremendously horrifying. Near the Emperor Stele, the faces of all those cultivating changed dramatically. After witnessing the scene, many human practitioners, who couldn’t even pay attention to their cultivation, turned around and fled, leaving the vicinity of Sea Dragon Pool.
What a joke, this wasn’t a battle between one or two practitioners, nor was it a conflict between human practitioners and some alien races; this had already become a struggle between two races.
Stay here?
Was staying here a death wish?
Everyone watched with terror as more and more Sea Dragon Clan members rushed towards Emperor Island, exceeding three thousand in number. Who knew if there were additional Sea Dragon Clan members hiding in secret? Elder Qui was almost in tears, staring dumbfounded at the increasing flood of Sea Dragon warriors, especially those powerful beings at the Divine Travel Stage, all of whom had fiery red eyes, hot breath puffing from their nostrils, and were baring their fangs and claws.
Yang Zhen was still tilting his head, pointing to his head, and yet his face revealed a gloating expression, which was incredibly infuriating and incredibly cheap. y
Elder Qui’s face turned from pale to ashen, as he glared at Yang Zhen, his eyes flashing with doubt and uncertainty.
To fight, or not to fight, that was the question!
But how was he going to fight?
Yang Zhen was not formidable, just a small Nascent Soul Stage practitioner Elder Qui was confident that with one slap, he could make Yang Zhen cry and beg for mercy, but Elder Qui didn’t dare.
In the current situation, Elder Qui was more confident that if he walked over to Yang Zhen and poked his head, the surrounding glaring Sea Dragon Clan members could beat the crap out of him!
Everyone around was watching Elder Qui nervously. At this point, Yang Zhen absolutely couldn’t be killed, and if the Sea Dragon Clan here were to break loose, they would probably have no place to run.
If that bastard Yang Zhen felt aggrieved and waved his hand in anger, leading the Sea Dragon Clan to slaughter…
Thinking of this outcome, everyone felt a chill run down their backs.
Everyone suddenly had an illusion. The issue now was not whether Elder Qui should kill Yang Zhen, but whether Yang Zhen would order the Sea Dragon Clan to kill all the practitioners present.
But why would the Sea Dragon Clan listen to Yang Zhen? They even seemed familiar, even to the extent of addressing each other as brothers.
Eider Qui’s expression gradually changed. He undoubtedly realized the problem and, after pondering for a long time, finally said solemnly, “Yang Zhen, killing enemies in a fit of anger happens in the Cultivation World. It has always been so since time immemorial, and is actually not a great mistake…”
Upon hearing these words, the group of nervous practitioners around him nearly gave Elder Qui applause and cheered for him.
Yeah, among us practitioners, fights that lead to death are all too common. Death is not really that big of a deal.
As for whether Elder Qui’s remarks are disgraceful… does anyone give a crap about that now?
If Eider Qui losing face while trying to save face is considered disgraceful, well then, he was doing a swell job of that. Not just Elder Qui, but if Yang Zhen required it, everyone present would slap their faces onto the ground – the louder Yang Zhen wanted, the louder they would slap.
At this point, who cares about their reputation? Is reputation more important than life?
Everyone silently admired Elder Qui. This old guy usually flaunted his status and acted stuck-up, but when it mattered he considered the bigger picture.
“But…”
Elder Qui’s face changed, as did everyone else’s when they heard the turn in his tone. They nearly rushed forward to shut him up with his own stinking sock. What the hell are you on about again, Elder Qui? Can’t you just shut up?
Elder Qui evidently ignored the collective disdain, his gaze fixed on Yang Zhen. “But… the problem has escalated from a human practitioner’s dispute to a conflict between two species. Are you really going to collude with the enemy and turn your back on humanity?”
Everyone froze for a moment, then began to understand the implications of Elder Qui’s words.
Yes, Yang Zhen was betraying humanity, throwing away its core values for his own gain. If Yang Zhen truly ordered the Sea Dragon Clan to start a massacre, many of the crowd would be gravely injured or even killed. Once he did this, there would be no place left for Yang Zhen in any world where human practitioners existed.
For a moment, everyone’s gaze towards Yang Zhen turned hostile. They were betting that Yang Zhen wouldn’t dare risk his life and reputation on such untenable grounds.
Elder Qui’s cold disdain at the changes in expressions around him only increased his authoritative aura. He glared at Yang Zhen from a position of dominance, accusing, “Even if you were in the wrong, we were dealing with internal human problems. But if you now choose to side with the enemies against humanity, you will be deemed a traitor that neither Heaven nor Earth will tolerate.”
Elder Qui’s voice was powerful and determined as he stared at Yang Zhen. “Or are you planning to abandon humanity, allowing these alien beings to stain their hands with human blood, leading to the brutal death of your own kind? Don’t you know, once these aliens cause chaos, corpses will be scattered everywhere, rivers of blood will flow, and countless innocent human practitioners will be egregiously murdered? They may even become food for the Sea Dragon Clan!”
Boom!
The crowd turned their furious eyes towards Yang Zhen. Empowered by rage their True Essence burst forth, ready to fight to the death with Yang Zhen at a moment’s notice.
Within the crowd, the cat servant was in a panic and muttered to himself, “It’s over, it’s over. Yang is being targeted; they are isolating him from humanity. This old guy is really playing dirty. If Yang doesn’t figure something out soon, he’s in big trouble.”
Wang Meiling, turning pale, rushed to the cat barely able to contain his agitation. “What should we do? Yang is in a bad situation. Even if he doesn’t die today, he will become a human traitor, guilty of the most heinous crime. Where can he even go after this?”
Eider Qui’s face twisted into a faint, sinister smile as he observed Yang Zhen’s predicament. He murmured to himself in a voice only he could hear, “You little brat, should have known better than to pick a fight with me. Even if I can’t kill you m this state, I will ruin your reputation so much that you won’t be able to show yourself in public again.”
The crowd looked increasingly hostile, maintaining intense eye contact with Yang Zhen. Just as the cat had said, Yang Zhen was at this point isolated from humanity.
Yang Zhen just stood there, seemingly terrified and unable to respond. He faced Elder Qui with a strange look, seemingly shocked that Elder Qui could turn the tables on him even in this situation.
Everyone exhaled in relief and looked at Yang Zhen with contempt. Sure, Yang Zhen was too young, probably utterly confused and panicking, right?
However, the next moment a loud, hearty, derisive laughter resonated, echoing to the sky with intentional sarcasm.
“Moral kidnapping? Go fuck yourself!” Yang Zhen roared in laughter, pointed his finger, and mumbled something. The leader of the Sea Dragon Clan grinned widely, erupted with immense power, and charged towards Elder Qui..
