In Shan Wanquan's eyes, or rather, in the eyes of most viewers, all they saw was the Third Elder of the Cangshan Sect going up with his sword, having it grabbed, then being struck in the chest by a palm, flying backward, and finally spitting blood and admitting defeat.

That's it?

That's it? That's it? That's it?

An old-school Ren-level (Human Realm) expert, that's all?

Shan Wanquan was dumbfounded. He even suspected that this Third Elder of the Cangshan Sect was an imposter.

It wasn't until he carefully recalled the scene and saw the deep dread in the eyes of other Ren-level experts as they looked at Fang Yue that he finally confirmed it.

The guy on the stage, the guy who defeated him, had truly relied on his raw strength to instantly kill the Third Elder of the Cangshan Sect, an old-school early-stage Ren-level expert!

Hiss...

Because of the real-time ranking displayed on the stage, Dayang Merchant Guild's name had squeezed into the top 100 due to Fang Yue having defeated too many opponents!

There were fewer and fewer participants. Xiantian (Acquired Realm) experts were gradually losing their strength in the current rhythm of the arena.

Although there were still Xiantian martial artists appearing, they were all at the peak of the Xiantian stage, often possessing the ability to barely fight against relatively weaker early-stage Ren-level experts.

And as for the old-school Ren-level experts, like the Grand Elder and Second Elder of the Cangshan Sect, they were naturally steadily active.

This also proved that the Third Elder of the Cangshan Sect, who was associated with those two, had real strength. It was just that he was unlucky enough to run into Fang Yue, otherwise, he would have definitely won a few more rounds.

Just as he was thinking about it, the Second Elder of the Cangshan Sect in Group Two was slashed away by someone, covered in blood, seemingly on the verge of death.

A burst of exclamations attracted attention.

Fang Yue glanced sideways and was surprised to find that the guy who had slashed the person down was staring straight at him.

"Winner: Luo Yijie, Deputy Head of the Luocheng Merchant Guild!"

Along with the referee's loud announcement, a burst of commotion rang out.

"It's actually the Luocheng Merchant Guild, ranked second in the Tianshang Alliance!"

"Luo Yijie of the Luocheng Merchant Guild reached the mid-stage of the Ren-level realm more than ten years ago. His strength is unfathomable. Although the Second Elder of the Cangshan Sect is also at the mid-stage of the Ren-level realm, he is not in the same league as Luo Yijie at all!"

"The three elders of the Cangshan Sect are full of integrity and are highly principled, but their strength is not top-notch. It's a pity."

Everyone felt sorry for them, which showed that the reputation accumulated by the three elders of the Cangshan Sect on weekdays was still very effective.

The Second Elder of the Cangshan Sect was quickly taken down, while the Grand Elder of the Cangshan Sect, after checking the Second Elder's injuries, glared at Luo Yijie and shouted sternly.

"Luo Yijie, you're so ruthless! Even if my junior brother recovers from his injuries, his strength and realm will forever stop there. You have ruined his martial foundation! This action is simply what the Demonic Path does! Your demonic nature is so deep that you will go into Qi Deviation sooner or later!"

Hearing this, Luo Yijie couldn't help but sneer, retracting his gaze from Fang Yue and coldly laughing, "Old fool, don't bring your sect's garbage martial arts philosophy to all of us! Kill someone and become a demon? I can go to Cangshan Sect tomorrow and slaughter your entire family, and I won't have the slightest sign of Qi Deviation, do you believe it?"

Fists, hardened!

The Grand Elder of the Cangshan Sect, with red eyes, trembled with anger: "Evil! Heretical ways! People like you are not qualified to practice martial arts at all! The path of martial arts is even more impossible to advance further!"

Luo Yijie laughed directly.

"Twenty years ago, you were stuck at the early stage of the Ren-level realm, crying and begging for a *Po Dao Dan* (Realm Breaking Pill). The whole city knew about it! Now you have received the favor of the Tianshang Alliance and successfully broken through to the mid-stage of the Ren-level realm, but you treat our Tianshang Alliance like this?"

"You!"

The Grand Elder of the Cangshan Sect immediately turned red in the face.

Fang Yue still didn't understand what Luo Yijie was saying, but the people next to him were already discussing it, as if they were greatly shocked and surprised, and they began to point fingers at the Cangshan Sect for a while.

It turned out that the Grand Elder of the Cangshan Sect had also done great evil in the past, with many bad deeds. He was troubled every day, constantly talking about his sins, which caused him to be stuck at the early stage of the Ren-level realm.

Then suddenly one day, the Grand Elder of the Cangshan Sect began to do good deeds, and after several years of continuous effort, his reputation rose, and he successfully broke through his realm.

After that, someone who didn't know where they came from began to promote that the Grand Elder of the Cangshan Sect had successfully broken through his realm because he did good deeds and reformed himself every day.

It was righteousness, it was the belief in the righteous path that allowed him to break through his realm!

All of a sudden, the image of the Grand Elder of the Cangshan Sect was established, and since then, the Cangshan Sect has completely transformed into the righteous path, and has become an important partner of the Tianshang Alliance.

And from Luo Yijie's words now, what righteous path, what belief, it's all bullshit.

Others just didn't know what conditions they used to get the Tianshang Alliance's pills and forcibly break through.

As for what has been promoted all the time about murderous intent becoming a demon, or going into Qi Deviation, it has all become nonsense.
