More than ten Core Formation Realm experts from Lingwei True Sect carried the captured Taixuan Elder, imprisoned in a cage, to the Eternal Immortal Mountain.

“Master!”

Jun Changxiao stood before the sect gate, frowning. “What’s going on here?”

Hearing this, Taixuan Elder nearly fainted from a surge of anger.

You caused trouble outside and made me take the blame for it, yet you still have the audacity to ask what’s going on!

“Fifth Elder!”

A powerful expert standing before the cage had a grim expression as he said, “This guy is one of those who passed by when we were fighting the demonic beasts earlier!”

The Fifth Elder also realized it, and his heart immediately confirmed that the profound stone mineral vein must have been stolen by him!

“Kid!”

“Your audacity is truly impressive, daring to rob our Lingwei True Sect’s mineral vein!”

“Heh.”

Jun Changxiao folded his arms. “Natural treasures and earthly resources belong to those with the fortune to obtain them. Our Eternal Ancient Sect mined it first—why should I give you an explanation? Moreover, mineral veins emerge from heaven and earth at every moment. Does your esteemed sect go to other sects every day demanding payment?”

Dogshit didn’t even consider denying it, since they’d come knocking on his door, he must have been exposed anyway.

“Everyone!”

Taixuan Elder gripped the bars. “I have no relationship with him whatsoever. Could you please release me first!”

He absolutely refused to take the blame for trouble caused by Dogshit!

“Master!”

Jun Changxiao clutched his chest, his face showing pain. “Is this really appropriate?”

“Shut up!”

“I’m not your master, and you’re not my disciple!”

Taixuan Elder was nearly driven mad.

With great difficulty, he’d distanced himself from this fellow and hidden away in a remote city. After just a few days of peaceful living, he ended up imprisoned because of him. Who could stand this!

“Alas.”

Jun Changxiao shook his head. “Master and disciple are like birds in the same forest—when disaster strikes, each flies their own way.”

“Kid!”

The Fifth Elder’s gaze gradually turned cold. “Enough nonsense. Quickly hand over all the profound stones you dug up, or else your master today will…”

“My master has already disowned me, so his life and death have nothing to do with me.” Jun Changxiao interrupted.

“You…”

Taixuan Elder was so angry his hair nearly stood on end.

Because of you, I was captured. Now you don’t care about my life or death—this really is fellow townsman screwing fellow townsman, both eyes smiling gleefully!

The expressions on the faces of the Fifth Elder and the others were also quite spectacular.

They’d worked so hard to run to Qingying City and capture Taixuan Hermit, all to force the other party to comply. But he turned on his master on the spot—doesn’t that mean we’ve been busy for nothing?

The main issue was they’d arrested the wrong person. If they’d grabbed a disciple instead, the situation would definitely be different.

“Everyone!”

Taixuan Elder said sorrowfully, “From this day forward, I sever my relationship with this unfilial disciple. If you have grievances, you can seek him out. Could you please release me first!”

“Hmph.”

The Fifth Elder sneered coldly. “Do you think that’s possible?”

“Master!”

Jun Changxiao seemed unable to control his emotions and shouted, “If you truly want to sever our master-disciple relationship with your disciple, then I’ll…” Suddenly he sat down and picked up a watermelon. “Start eating watermelon.”

Taixuan Elder nearly couldn’t resist spitting blood on the spot.

However, having experienced great storms after all, he heard another meaning between the lines of what was said, so he quickly asked, “What if I don’t sever our master-disciple relationship?”

“If master is in trouble, this disciple will certainly come to his rescue.” Jun Changxiao stood up.

Taixuan Elder understood—this guy was making him personally admit they had a master-disciple relationship!

No way, absolutely not!

I’m not even his master yet and I’ve been screwed over this badly. If I truly became his master, wouldn’t I have to carry a huge pot on my back every day when I go out!

“Master!”

Jun Changxiao shouted, “Make your choice!”

He was actually quite grateful that Lingwei True Sect had brought Taixuan Hermit here, because he could take this opportunity to establish their master-disciple relationship. Moreover, the sect lacked such a high-tech talent.

The Fifth Elder said, “Whether or not you two are master and disciple, the stolen profound stones must be handed over. Otherwise, the Eternal Ancient Sect will become the Ancient History Sect!”

“Big words!”

Jun Changxiao extended his finger and beckoned. “If you’ve got the ability, come on over!”

Because he relied on the Purple Heaven Star Array protecting the entire sect, Dogshit wasn’t panicked at all—in fact, he even wanted to dance.

He wasn’t panicked.

Taixuan Elder was panicked!

Right now he was struggling with whether or not to admit they had a master-disciple relationship.

Actually, the key issue making him conflicted was whether the other party had the ability to save him even if he did admit to the master-disciple relationship.

“How about this.”

Jun Changxiao said, “I’ll rescue you, and the debt you’re owed will be written off!”

Taixuan Elder roared, “I ended up in such a state entirely because of you! You rescuing me is only natural and right! As for the debt owed, not a single cent can be reduced!”

The last few words came out with spittle flying everywhere, making it clear that while he could calmly accept death, he absolutely could not accept a debt going unpaid!

“Either admit to the master-disciple relationship, or write off the debt. Master, make your choice.” Jun Changxiao said seriously.

The Fifth Elder and the others were somewhat confused listening to this.

They roughly understood—this guy owed his master money and apparently didn’t plan to repay it. This was… rather shameless!

“Fine!”

Taixuan Elder made his choice and declared loudly, “We are master and disciple!”

I can take the blame, but the debt must be repaid!

“Swish!”

“Swish!”

Just then, Black and White Asura flew out in a spiral crossed formation, hovering before the Lingwei True Sect experts, their Six-Revolution Core Formation Realm cultivation fully erupting.

“Master!”

Jun Changxiao said with complete seriousness, “With this disciple here, no one can harm you in the slightest!”

“Whoosh!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

As soon as these words finished, Black and White Asura gathered various energies and charged forward. When the special effects reached their peak, even space began to gradually twist and distort.

The two had long since received orders to be ready to rescue at any moment.

“Block…”

The Fifth Elder’s expression changed drastically as he hurriedly ordered his companions to guard Taixuan Hermit well. But just as he opened his mouth, the defensive line was completely torn through, and the captured person along with the cage was taken away together!

“Clang!”

In the Eternal Ancient Sect’s martial arts arena, the cage forged from special ore descended.

“Swish!”

“Swish!”

Black and White Asura didn’t pause for a moment, charging out again in a spiral crossed formation and engaging in fierce battle with the dozen or so Lingwei True Sect experts!

“Boom boom boom!”

“Whoosh whoosh whoosh!”

Various light effects and special effects exploded wildly outside the sect. The residual energy pressure rolled in like towering waves, but was all resolved by the Purple Heaven Star Array hidden in the darkness.

The warriors Lingwei True Sect sent this time were the same as when fighting the demonic beasts. Black and White Asura working together had no problem battling them, so Jun Changxiao walked to the martial arts arena and took out the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade. “Master, you’ve been wronged!”

“Clang!”

Sparks flew, but failed to shake it.

Jun Changxiao raised the Azure Dragon Crescent Blade again and struck more than ten times in succession. The cage not only didn’t break open, it didn’t even leave a single blade mark. He broke down. “It’s this hard?!”

Taixuan Elder said, “This was forged from Nine-Star Steel Stone. Unless you open it with the key, there’s simply no way to break it open with external force!”

“I see.”

Jun Changxiao turned his head. “Two Protectors, go snatch the key…”

At this point, he suddenly stopped speaking, because the Lingwei True Sect experts, realizing that Black and White Asura were formidable, didn’t dare linger in battle and had all run away.

“Uh…”

Jun Changxiao said awkwardly, “Master, I’m afraid you’ll have to stay in the cage for a while.”

“Thud!”

Taixuan Elder collapsed sitting in the cage. After a moment, he held his head. “Are you sent by heaven to punish me?!”
