After finishing his sentence, Shen Yuan slowly stepped off the platform.

Xu Yi, who had just halfway through questioning Shen Yuan, was now deep in confusion, but any words of rebuttal were stopped as He Yao promptly stepped forward and floored him with a punch.

Thanks to Shen Yuan’s protection, He Yao hadn’t sustained any injuries from start to finish. Needless to say, he was in a much better condition than Xu Yi, who was bruised and battered, and was easily able to knock Xu Yi to the ground with a couple of punches.

“Why did you hit him?”

“He Yao, stop!”

He Yao, his face a mask of fury, swept his gaze over the cultivators trying to restrain him, pointing his finger accusingly at them while berating them loudly:

“What a bunch of fools you all are! Blind to the fact that you were used and manipulated!”

“Shen Yuan saved you all, and you not only failed to show gratitude, but even questioned him for not intervening earlier. Do you have any conscience left?” Xu Yi, the man just floored by He Yao, struggled to his feet, blood trickling from the corner of his mouth, as he stubbornly retorted:

“Sure, he saved us, but so what?”

“Young Master Liu had helped him earlier, and not only did he not return the

favor, he blatantly ignored it when Young Master Liu was killed…”

“Slap!”

A blistering slap landed on Xu Yi’s face directly. With this strike, He Yao spared no mercy, and the powerful force of an Essence Refining Stage cultivator almost crushed Xu Yi’s cheekbone. Xu Yi spit out more than half of his teeth in response to the brutal force.

He Yao grabbed Xu Yi by his collar, his face twisted in anger as he questioned:

” Idiot! Do you really think we were able to ascend this mountain thanks to Liu Yao’s influence?”

“His followers had already been plotting to silence us on our way up the mountain, it’s only thanks to Shen Yuan taking down those monster tribe members that we survived. Their bodies are still down there, do you want to go down and take a look?”

Xu Yi’s face was drenched in blood, he was so shocked at He Yao’s words that he couldn’t utter a word.

And the very cultivators who were as shocked as Xu Yi tried to mediate. He Yao, Xu Yi was merely speaking without thinking. Young Master Liu indeed saved us at one point, it’s only natural Xu Yi has his interest at heart.”

“Saved you?” He Yao scoffed, filled with disdain at the survivors.

“Even now, you all don’t see it, do you? Liu Yao is the one who fanned the flames behind the Dragon Sovereign banquet.”

” He was the one who spread rumors and lured you here, pretending to come to your aid when you were in danger.”

“He also conspired with the Fubo Dragon Monarch, using the matter of you absorbing the Spirit Energy of the Natural Spirit Pool, to force you to admit you were affiliated with the Liu Family.”

“Had there not been unexpected events afterwards, the first thing he would’ve done after his promotion was to use Fubo Dragon Monarch’s coercion to make you sign Spirit Beast contracts, completely restricting you to the Liu Family.” “They would then claim it to be a false contract just to deal with the Fubo Dragon Monarch, devoid of any practical effect.”

“By the time you realize what had happened, not only would you be oblivious to

it all, but you would have been left feeling grateful to Liu Yao.”

“Impossible, there’s no way Young Master Liu would do something like this!” immediately a cultivator retorted loudly.

He Yao responded sardonically, “Why not search the bodies of the Liu Family servants and see if they were prepared to modify a massive amount of Spirit Beast contracts?”

One of the cultivators hastily went to inspect the bodies of several Liu Family servants. After a while, a stack of papers filled with Taoist symbols, spirit paper, was found.

While most couldn’t wholly recognize the content on the spirit paper, they discerned a bit based on familiar fonts.

At this moment, all the survivors fell silent.

He Yao stood up, plucking a Spirit Beast contract. He used it to wipe off the blood from his hand before casually discarding the blood-stained valuable contract as if it was just a piece of scrap paper.

“You should all be grateful that Shen Yuan chose not to be petty about your previous impertinence and still killed those monster tribes to rescue you in the end.”

“But perhaps he did not really mean to save you. After all, to him, you guys are nothing more but insignificant ants.”

The survivors felt a surge of indignation.

Indeed, Shen Yuan was highly capable. But they were also among the few talents in Qing Province, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been selected and fooled into coming here by the Liu Family.

Being called insignificant ants stoked their ire. One survivor couldn’t help but retort at He Yao:

” If we are ants, what are you in his eyes?”

He Yao was silent, the image of Shen Yuan beheading the Fubo Dragon Monarch flashing through his mind.

That spectacular strike, which seemed to belong to a different era, was deeply imprinted in his mind.

“Perhaps, just an interesting ant!” he murmured.

After leaving the platform, Shen Yuan used his mana to levitate and head straight to the primary platform where the Fubo Dragon Monarch had sat.

There was only a few hundred meters between the two platforms, but the mana consumption of levitating across this distance was considerable.

Using mana to force levitation was just like fighting someone with the butt of a rifle; it was laborious and highly inefficient.

Normally, a cultivator who had just reached the Qi Transformation Stage wouldn’t dare levitate using mana for fear of draining their mana reserves dry. Shen Yuan compressed his eyebrows. His mana was several times fuller than those of regular cultivators of the same rank, but even he couldn’t help but frown slightly.

“It seems I need to find some commonly-used spells for the Qi Transformation Stage like the Art of Levitation and the Body Protection Spell.” With that thought in mind, Shen Yuan began to search for the legacy of the Fubo Dragon Monarch in front of his throne.

After a while, Shen Yuan found nothing and was greatly disappointed. Although this was the throne of the Fubo Dragon Monarch, there weren’t any treasures left except for some precious Spirit Fruits placed on the table.

“A lord of a Great Demon of the Qi Transformation Stage could be this poor?” At this moment, the sky was filled with thunderous roars, and the rain was getting heavier. The water level in the Fubo Pond was rising at a visible speed. Shen Yuan used his mana to block the falling rain, his gaze wandered towards the Fubo Pond below.

The Fubo Dragon Monarch’s lair was at the bottom of the pond, and its body also fell into the water. The Dragon Monarch’s treasures must either be on its body or in its lair.

“You, go and retrieve the Fubo Dragon Monarch’s body. While you are at it, look around its lair and bring out anything useful.”

Shen Yuan pointed to the six Aquatic Tribe local deities at the Qi Transformation Stage.

These Aquatic Tribe deities included three unidentified fishes, a clam spirit, a crab, and a water snake.

Upon hearing Shen Yuan’s instructions, all the deities of the Aquatic Tribe were delighted and prepared to dive into the water, but Shen Yuan’s voice echoed once again:

“Don’t try to escape, unless you thinkyou can out-swim my flying sword.” All the Aquatic Tribe deities recalled the scene of Shen Yuan using his sword to slay the Fubo Dragon Monarch and shivered.

“With the Celestial Lord here, we dare not harbor any other thoughts!

The Aquatic Tribe deities immediately plunged into the water. As members of the Aquatic Tribe, they were far more efficient in the water than on land. Minutes later, a giant flood dragon carcass was lifted out of the Fubo Pond, along with three rough-looking stone boxes and a fierce serpent head with unwillingness glinting in its eyes.
