Chapter 342: Cutting out the roots

Bai Ke suddenly slapped Qian San on the head, leaving only his angry and terrified eyes.

Upon seeing this, Feng Yu and the other two couldn't help but slightly narrow their pupils, thinking to themselves that this kid was indeed decisive and ruthless! Unconsciously, they even felt a little afraid of this seemingly harmless holy son. However, this was the law of the cultivation world.

Bai Ke already knew what the three were thinking, but he didn't care. It wouldn't hurt to intimidate them a little.

"System, can you store the Immortal Imprisonment Tower into the Jade Wrench?" Bai Ke asked in his mind.

"Okay, teleportation talisman, 8000 evil points," the system replied coldly.

Bai Ke took a deep breath and agreed. In his mind, he was furiously cursing: "Eight thousand evil points are required to acquire an item? Utterly shameless!"

"Ding, purchase successful. 8000 evil points have been deducted from the host. The item has been sent. Please check."

"Remaining Evil Points: 2500."

Bai Ke took out a teleportation talisman, activated a burst of spiritual power, and shot the talisman into the center of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower.

"Let's go, let's get out of here as soon as possible." Bai Ke resumed his gentlemanly demeanor and said calmly.

Once outside the tower, Bai Ke took out a teleportation talisman, activated a burst of spiritual power, and shot the talisman into the center of the Immortal Imprisonment Tower. The Immortal Imprisonment Tower transformed into a beam of spiritual light within the jade wrench.

Feng Yu and the other two were dumbfounded. Wasn't the Immortal Imprisoning Tower impossible to refine? They were even more amazed by the kid's incredible and increasingly mysterious methods. They mistakenly thought that Bai Ke had already refined the Immortal Imprisoning Tower, but Bai Ke was too lazy to explain anything.

Bai Ke opened the Lingyun Ferry and prepared to return to Tian Ce Palace. Everyone was injured, so they hurried inside to rest and recover.

Although the battle was extremely dangerous, it was also a blessing in disguise. Reaching the Nascent Soul stage was now a natural progression, and Bai Ke was somewhat delighted. Bai Ke also prepared to recover from his injuries and return to the sect to break through to the Nascent Soul stage in one fell swoop.

An 18-year-old Nascent Soul cultivator is truly something to look forward to, after all, even the Tide Emperor wasn't this monstrous in his youth. Such a talent has never appeared in the Mountain and Sea Realm before, but Bai Ke's vision extends far beyond the mere Mountain and Sea Realm.

Tian Ce Palace, the main hall of the sect.

"Greetings, Acting Sect Leader, Supreme Elder," the disciples and elders replied respectfully.

"This exploration of the ruins was extremely dangerous and perilous. I never expected that the old villain Gong Yu would join forces with the Central Killing Domain to try to destroy the lineage of my Tian Ce Palace and annihilate my Mountain and Sea Realm. His crimes are truly unforgivable," Bai Ke said indignantly.

"I have personally killed this scoundrel! Guards! Hang this old thief's head in front of the sect as a warning to others!"

"Wait!" Just then, a voice interrupted them, and they saw that the person was Cao Chong.

All eyes turned to Cao Chong, who forced himself to kneel before the Supreme Elder.

"Reporting to the Supreme Elder, Elder Gong Yu has worked tirelessly and diligently for our Tian Ce Palace for many years. He could never be some kind of evil villain. The Acting Sect Leader has a long-standing conflict with Elder Gong Yu. Could it be that he was framed and plotted against in order to settle a personal score?" Cao Chong said loudly.

With Xing Jian and Gong Yu dead, Cao Chong had lost his backer and could only fight desperately to the death.

"Cao Chong, are you saying that I secretly harmed that old scoundrel Gong Yu? The three elders were with me during this event. Do you think the three elders are also my accomplices?" Bai Ke said calmly.

Feng Yu and the other two immediately looked at Cao Chong.

,glare.

Cao Chong was being relentlessly suppressed by the three men, suffering terribly. As a mere Golden Core cultivator, he could hardly withstand the aura of a Void Returning expert. He was on the verge of vomiting blood, but he could only desperately hold it in.

"...Hmph, the acting sect leader's sudden announcement of exploring the ruins must have been premeditated. It's understandable that the three elders were caught off guard and deceived by you." Cao Chong said through gritted teeth. Now, all they could do was fight to the death.

"Do you think that we, who have devoted ourselves to the Tian Ce Palace to the point of death, have offended you and been bullied to this extent by this mere brat? Elders and disciples, you should think this through!"

Cao Chong said angrily.

The elders and disciples in the palace began to discuss the matter, and some of the remaining forces under Xing Yugong began to seize the opportunity to sow discord.

Cao Chong, as expected of Gong Yu's trusted strategist for many years, knew he couldn't possibly defeat Bai Ke with his meager cultivation level alone, so he tried to sow discord. With just a few words, some people began to have their own thoughts.

"Heh, you do have some tricks up your sleeve, but it's nothing more than a cornered beast's struggle!"

"Cao Chong, you keep saying I'm settling personal scores, then I'll show you!"

"First, my participation in the exploration of the ruins was voluntary. If this old thief is afraid that I will harm him, he doesn't have to participate."

Secondly, did I teach that old scoundrel Gong Yu to use evil supernatural powers during our fight?

The three elders witnessed it with their own eyes. How could a Void Returning Grandmaster be deceived by someone as mere Primordial Spirit Realm as me?

Third, as the acting leader, I have the right to handle all affairs, so how can you say I'm abusing my power?

You were originally Gong Yu's subordinate, so there must be some collusion between you. Your attempts to sow discord are clearly malicious. I think your Tian Du Peak is guilty and has conspired with thieves to assassinate my Tian Ce Palace!

"

Bai Ke shouted loudly.

"You... Pfft! I'm going to report this to the sect leader for slandering my Tiandu Peak like this!" Cao Chong's face turned red as he spat out a mouthful of blood. He was already being suppressed by the imposing aura of Feng Yu and the others, and now he couldn't hold back his anger.

"Hmph! No need! I am the sect leader, you scoundrel, prepare to die!" Bai Ke's combat power reached the Void Returning stage, how could a mere Golden Core cultivator withstand a single palm strike?

With a single blow, the skull shattered, leaving a bloody mess. The disciples, those with weaker minds, were so terrified their legs went weak.

The elders were astonished by the power of that palm strike, which they themselves feared they could not withstand, and immediately bowed down.

"Sect Leader, please calm down! The villains of Tiandu Peak are outrageous and have colluded with the Central Killing Domain. We will definitely investigate and eliminate them!" the disciples and elders said in a clear voice.

It's obvious that Bai Ke possesses immense strength, and with his father's support, their rise to power is unstoppable, like a dragon emerging from its abyss. Why not quickly show goodwill and choose sides?

Indeed, strength is king; in the cultivation world, might makes right! Bai Ke thought to himself.

"Well, in that case, Lin Yun!"

"exist"

"I order you to thoroughly investigate the remnants of Gong Yu and Cao Chong. Once discovered, kill them all without mercy! And take over the management of Tiandu Peak."

"I obey the Commander's command!"

Lin Yun said respectfully.

Who is Lin Yun? Most people of the same generation don't even know him. How could he possibly take over Tiandu Peak? A group of people were somewhat unconvinced. How could a mere gardener be qualified?

Lin Yun simply ignored these people and released his Void Returning Aura. If he didn't need to help Bai Ke with something right now, he wouldn't have paid them any attention at all.

The elders and disciples were shocked. When did another Void Returning expert appear? However, they could only kneel down to pay their respects.

The rules of Tian Ce Palace stipulate that anyone who cultivates to the Void Returning Realm, regardless of their status, will be directly appointed as a Supreme Elder.

"Greetings, Supreme Elder!"
