I Have A Cultivation World Chapter 2705 - 1244: Magic Duel

"I am not targeting your Thunder Zen Temple, but these two rogue cultivators are practicing demonic cultivation techniques. As a cultivator on the righteous path, I must not let devil cultivators go unpunished."

Chen Mobai pointed at Chi Lei and Sun Qingxue, who were bound by his fire dragon, remarking casually as he watched the two great Divinity Transformation cultivators from the West Continent, waiting to see how they would handle the situation.

"Oh, is that really the case?"

Pure Wind True Monarch appeared astonished upon hearing this.

"There might be some misunderstanding in this. It’s possible they did not realize they had obtained a demonic cultivation technique and mistakenly practiced it," Little Lei Immortal argued in their defense.

"Then how about this? If these two swear they were unaware they were practicing a demonic cultivation technique, I will believe what you say," Chen Mobai offered, not being the type to press an advantage relentlessly. If it was indeed a mistake, he would, like the Nine Heavens Morality Sect, give a chance for self-verification.

Upon hearing this, Pure Wind True Monarch nodded, showing no objections.

Little Lei Immortal, however, frowned deeply. But in this situation, he understood that unless he could defeat the Eastern Wilderness Qing Emperor before him, the matter of practicing demonic cultivation was already one of standing on moral high ground.

Seeing Little Lei Immortal remain silent for a long time, Chen Mobai thought he was unwilling to comply and prepared himself for a magic duel.

"You heard what Mr. Chen said, right? Go ahead and swear, or don’t blame me for taking action myself to uphold the reputation of the righteous path in the West Continent."

But at this time, Pure Wind True Monarch spoke, directly bypassing Little Lei Immortal, addressing Chi Lei and the others with a cold tone.

In front of Chen Mobai, Pure Wind True Monarch was elegant, a true gentleman, but in the West Continent, he was the most authoritative ruler for hundreds of years.

Seeing the step Chen Mobai offered, Pure Wind True Monarch naturally wanted to resolve the hidden danger that might spark a collision between the two great Immortal Cultivation Worlds of the East and West Continents immediately.

In his eyes, the life and death of these four Nascent Soul cultivators were insignificant.

"Yes, True Monarch!"

The other two Nascent Soul cultivators among the four wolves of the West Continent immediately followed Pure Wind True Monarch’s words and swore that they had not practiced demonic cultivation.

Although they were rogue cultivators, making it to the Nascent Soul Realm indicated some favor from fate, and they even served as ancestors to two sects of the West Continent, having practiced decent cultivation techniques free of demonic influences.

After these two made their oath, the crowd’s attention turned to Chi Lei and Sun Qingxue.

They, however, hesitated, especially Sun Qingxue, whose eyes showed despair. Her demonic cultivation practice had been exposed, forcing her to flee from the Pure Palace.

Only because a lover shielded her within the Pure Palace did the Holy Land not pursue her.

Even Pure Wind True Monarch was unaware that such a disciple existed in his sect.

But today, under the watchful eyes of the three great Divinity Transformation cultivators present, Sun Qingxue knew she wouldn’t get away.

Despite this, she held onto a sliver of hope, looking towards Chi Lei.

They had practiced demonic cultivation together, and it was evident Little Lei Immortal wanted to protect Chi Lei, so perhaps...

Just as Sun Qingxue was clinging to her last hope for survival, Pure Wind True Monarch furrowed his brow and spoke icily: "I will count to three. Swear immediately, or you will be assumed to have practiced demonic cultivation and be sent into reincarnation."

Hearing this, Sun Qingxue went pale, trembling as she raised her hand, about to swear an oath, when suddenly, a bolt of thunder descended from the sky, reducing her to ashes.

Little Lei Immortal was the one who struck. After killing Sun Qingxue, he frowned and sighed, extending his hand towards his disciple, Chi Lei, as well.

Chi Lei, witnessing this scene, opened his mouth as if wanting to speak, but the thunder had already engulfed him.

After the thunder passed, Chi Lei vanished without a trace.

"Since these two didn’t dare to swear, it clearly shows they had guilty minds. Facing cultivators who have practiced demonic cultivation, we at Thunder Zen Temple choose to err on the side of caution rather than let one slip away."

After having slain the two, Little Lei Immortal spoke with an air of moral righteousness.

Beside him, Pure Wind True Monarch clapped and praised him for his righteous action against kin.

Chen Mobai, however, displayed a slightly strange expression, feeling that Little Lei Immortal was treating him like a fool.

Chi Lei, contrary to expectations, was not deceased. Upon Little Lei Immortal's decisive strike, thunderous energies were employed to awaken the True Qi residing within Chi Lei, facilitating a Thunder Escape Technique that propelled him along a thunderous path towards Tian Gang. Once he vanished from Chen Mobai's immediate view, Chi Lei made his escape, heading northward.

This particular maneuver, had it been employed against a cultivator at the Divinity Transformation stage, might have successfully evaded detection amidst the overwhelming thunderous spectacle orchestrated by Little Lei Immortal.

However, Chen Mobai's formidable arsenal, including his Haotian Mirror, the 'Echoes in the Void' technique, 'Void Sensing', and his 'Spirit Eye', all keenly perceived the underlying reality of the deception.

Little Lei Immortal's attempt at misdirection was akin to a bumbling conjurer performing for an astutely observant Chen Mobai.

"My esteemed friend, your substitution gambit is indeed noteworthy, though perhaps a tad unsubtle, wouldn't you agree?" Chen Mobai inquired with tranquility. He then materialized the Haotian Mirror in his grasp, directing its reflective surface towards the northern expanse.

Without delay, the mirror's surface illuminated with Chi Lei's form, enshrouded in thunder, as he continued his relentless flight.

Upon witnessing this revelation, Pure Wind True Monarch's countenance darkened, and a frigid snort escaped his lips as he cast his gaze towards Little Lei Immortal standing nearby.

It became evident that he, too, had been thoroughly deceived.

The exposure by Chen Mobai left Pure Wind True Monarch steeped in embarrassment.

"Esteemed Mr. Chen, my prior pursuit of your sect disciple was an error in judgment on my part. I am prepared to offer my sincerest apologies. Chi Lei is the successor I have chosen, and unfortunately, during his external cultivation, he seems to have adopted some unsavory habits. I pledge to bring him back to our Sect and ensure he receives proper discipline. I implore you, in your magnanimity, to kindly overlook this minor transgression."
