Not to mention a mere Spirit Immortal, even an Earth Immortal might not be able to see through his Dao Practice.

It's just that Li Yuncang doesn't know the depth of the opponent, yet he acts as if victory is assured, which is a bit overconfident. Clearly, he is accustomed to arrogance.

However, the old Daoist with violet-gold pupils seems rather profound. As expected of Yuan Buyin, the Eight Tribulation Spirit Immortal. 𝐟𝐫𝕖𝗲𝘄𝚎𝗯𝕟𝐨𝕧𝐞𝚕.𝕔𝕠𝐦

Gao Xuan used the Great Mighty Celestial Dragon Claw to collect the Demon and Monster Divine Soul Essence Blood from Qing Xiaoyi and others, and also examined the memories they left behind.

Qing Xiaoyi, as the apparent master of Qingyi Tower, is very familiar with its situation. From her memories, Gao Xuan also learned that the masterminds behind Qingyi Tower are Yuan Buyin, Li Yuncang, and several Arhats from Celestial Dragon Temple.

This group of people established Qingyi Tower to satisfy their private desires and capture people. Additionally, Qingyi Tower is their tool for amassing wealth.

In short, Qingyi Tower is where the upper cultivators and nobles directly drink the blood of the lower ranks. And it's a violent direct extraction. Skipping all environments, not bound by any order or moral constraints.

This method is extremely brutal and vicious. The lower ranks have no resistance at all.

Wuyuan Country and Daqiong Country also have this problem. However, the high-level cultivators of these two countries still care about appearances. Drinking blood requires going through many procedures, all conforming to basic order.

Great Wind Country is ten times larger than Daqiong Country, vast in territory, with a population possibly reaching the scale of billions.

Such a vast country also gives the upper ranks room to act recklessly. Because no matter how they toss about, the impact on the lower ranks is minimal.

The entire situation also reflects the decay of the entire power class. This made Gao Xuan's impression of Great Wind Country very poor.

Gao Xuan ignored Li Yuncang and said to Yuan Buyin, "Yuan Buyin, as an Eight Tribulation Spirit Immortal, you are supported by the people, yet for your selfish desires, you harm all living beings. Do you realize your crime?"

Yuan Buyin sneered coldly, "Who do you think you are to dare accuse me?"

Gao Xuan chuckled, "I'm not accusing, merely stating the facts so you can die knowing why."

The opponent knows Yuan Buyin, yet dares to speak so brazenly. This made Li Yuncang show a look of surprise and doubt. Does the opponent really have some unrivaled Divine Technique?

"You?"

Although Yuan Buyin couldn't see through Gao Xuan's presence, he remained unfazed. The Human Immortals in the Northern Province are a known number; while he might not recognize each one, he has heard of their appearances and characteristics.

Gao Xuan, so exceptionally handsome, if he were a Human Immortal, his fame would have spread far and wide. He wouldn't remain unknown.

Even if Gao Xuan is a Human Immortal from another large province, Yuan Buyin remains fearless.

Yuan Buyin disdainfully said, "No matter whose disciple you are, today you're doomed."

Li Yuncang anxiously protested, "Dao Brother, you can't kill him!"

Yuan Buyin cast a cold glance at Li Yuncang, "You've been blinded by lust, still imagining lovely things!"

Seeing Yuan Buyin truly angry, Li Yuncang felt a bit guilty and whispered, "It's best not to kill him. Leave him to me for proper handling, and I'll surely help Dao Brother vent your anger..."

"Hmph."

Yuan Buyin really wanted to open Li Yuncang's head to see what's inside. Living for thousands of years, he lacks basic caution.

No matter what Li Yuncang said, Yuan Buyin was about to make a move, when a crimson Sword Light flashed overhead and another person rushed in.

This person had white hair and beard, a messy Dao bun, wearing a wrinkled, dusty yellow coarse robe, looking rather shabby. The only special feature was his sparkling bright eyes, extremely energetic.

Charging directly into the Sword Array like this, with such shabby attire, yet bearing the aura of a Human Immortal, this is... Celestial Fool!

The Northern Province Daoist Sect had only four Human Immortals. Among them, Celestial Fool was the oldest, known for his eccentric personality and shabby attire.

Yuan Buyin had never seen Celestial Fool but recognized him immediately, feeling startled.

It is said that Celestial Fool has passed the Twelve Tribulations; his cultivation doesn't lose out to Xuan Xiang. Such a character, why has he quietly come to Yong'an? What does he intend to do?

Yuan Buyin suddenly became nervous. This is the strongest Human Immortal in the Northern Province; even with the City Defense Array, he has no certainty of killing him. Not even winning.

"Celestial Fool Master?" Yuan Buyin probed with a question.

Celestial Fool nodded, "It is I."

He said in an old, steady voice, "Junior, since the old Dao is here, do you still want to resist?"

Yuan Buyin's expression turned gloomy; the opponent really came to cause trouble.

Li Yuncang also suddenly felt shocked, though he indulged in lustful fun, he had heard of Celestial Fool's reputation.

He bowed in salute, "Master is here, sorry for not welcoming from afar, please forgive me."

Li Yuncang then grinned apologetically, "If this junior made any mistakes, Master can freely instruct."

He glanced at Gao Xuan and the ripples, forced a smile, "We didn't know they were related to Master, got into some misunderstanding, please give us a chance to amend."

Celestial Fool laughed heartily, shaking his head, "Wrong, wrong, you didn't anger me much, but angered the Celestial Master. How can you have a path to life?"

Turning around, he bowed courteously to Gao Xuan, "Celestial Master, how should we handle these two?"

Celestial Fool's polite and respectful gesture surprised both Yuan Buyin and Li Yuncang.

Both looked at Gao Xuan in astonishment, not knowing his identity to make the top Human Immortal of the Northern Province Daoist Sect so humble.

At Celestial Fool's level, he's already at the peak of Cyan Celestial Realm. No one has a higher status than him. Is this old man senile? But judging by his coherent words, clear gaze, obviously he's not mad...

Yuan Buyin felt uneasy inside, no matter Gao Xuan's identity, it meant today's situation became very troublesome.
