Last time, the Heavenly Demon Palace wanted Zhou Ziming.

As a result, all the strongholds of the Heavenly Demon Palace were slaughtered.

This time, the Heavenly Demon Palace wanted Zhou Ziming again.

The people from the Heavenly Demon Palace who came to Haining Prefecture were slaughtered once more.

If anyone said this had nothing to do with Zhou Ziming, the Sect Master wouldn't believe it.

Through these two incidents, the Sect Master had gained a certain understanding of Zhou Ziming.

"Whoever targets him, he'll make sure you die!"

The Sect Master was suddenly startled.

"Then what about Gu Yiyun?"

The Sect Master could no longer sit still.

He went to find Sun Tianming again.

Sun Tianming was speechless to see the Sect Master coming to Demon Suppressing Peak yet again.

"Is something the matter?"

The Sect Master inquired at this moment: "Was it you who killed Elder Heavenly Wood?"

Sun Tianming really wanted to say that Zhou Ziming killed him.

But after thinking it over, Sun Tianming felt it was inappropriate.

Zhou Ziming had used every means possible and survived a narrow escape to kill Heavenly Wood.

If others found out that Zhou Ziming had killed a Spirit Forging Cultivator, what if the Heavenly Demon Palace sent a Spirit Forging powerhouse next time to kill him the moment they met?

That simply wouldn't do.

Since he had decided to invest in Zhou Ziming, he couldn't let him be in danger.

However, Sun Tianming didn't admit to it either.

He just smiled without saying a word.

But in the Sect Master's eyes, this was a silent admission.

The Sect Master took a deep breath.

"You... think so highly of Zhou Ziming?"

Sun Tianming nodded.

The Sect Master was silent for a long time before asking: "Then what about Gu Yiyun?"

At the mention of Gu Yiyun, Sun Tianming's expression also turned a bit sour.

Sun Tianming even raised his own doubts.

"Sect Master, I actually never understood why Gu Yiyun has been targeting Zhou Ziming, whether intentionally or unintentionally, ever since he joined the Huan Ling Sect."

"At first, I didn't really care. After all, Zhou Ziming's talent was low, and I didn't think he had much of a future, so I ignored it."

"But later I discovered that so-called talent isn't actually an obstacle on Zhou Ziming's path of cultivation."

"I even feel that Gu Yiyun knew this long ago. But despite knowing Zhou Ziming is extraordinary, instead of nurturing him for the good of the Sect, she has done everything possible to suppress him. Sect Master, don't you think Gu Yiyun has ulterior motives?"

The Sect Master frowned: "Are you overthinking things?"

Sun Tianming looked at the Sect Master as if he were an idiot and then stopped talking.

Being looked at with that gaze by Sun Tianming, the Sect Master's composure really began to break down.

"Fine, putting aside why she treats Zhou Ziming this way, what I want to ask now is, you won't make a move against Gu Yiyun, will you?"

Sun Tianming said directly: "Rest assured, I will not move against Gu Yiyun!"

Hearing this, the Sect Master finally felt at ease.

"Gu Yiyun's identity is not simple; she's not someone easily dealt with. Since Zhou Ziming is fine right now and they are fellow disciples, let's just let this matter go."

Sun Tianming looked at the Sect Master and sighed inwardly.

"With a Sect Master like you, this Sect is probably not far from destruction. You have no boldness at all."

Sun Tianming simply closed his eyes to Cultivate.

The Sect Master felt very uncomfortable.

He knew this was Sun Tianming's way of driving him away.

Though helpless, the Sect Master still stood up and left.

Once outside the door, the Sect Master couldn't help but grumble.

"You think I want to be this Sect Master? Every one of you has a background, but what do I have?"

Thinking of this, the Sect Master felt very distressed.

When he took over the Huan Ling Sect, it was only a small Sect.

The reason it could become one of the Six Sects of Haining Prefecture was because those Elders joined and the forces behind them provided support.

Although he was the Sect Master, in the end, he was no different from a figurehead.

All matters, large and small, in the Sect were decided by the Peak Masters, yet if anything went wrong, he, the Sect Master, was the one held accountable.

"It's very hard for me too, okay!"

The Sect Master left aggrieved... The news that the Heavenly Demon Palace had vanished again could not be hidden.

Now, the entire Haining Prefecture knew about it.

This matter directly plunged Haining Prefecture into an eerie silence.

Because thinking carefully about this matter made everyone's scalp tingle.

In fact, the more they thought about it, the more terrifying it seemed.

Because the mysterious disappearances of the Heavenly Demon Palace were all related to one thing.

Namely, that the Heavenly Demon Palace wanted to deal with one person.

Zhou Ziming of the Huan Ling Sect.

The first time they wanted to deal with him, all the people the Heavenly Demon Palace had planted in Haining Prefecture went missing.

The second time they wanted to deal with Zhou Ziming.

The Heavenly Demons from the Heavenly Demon Palace who came to Haining Prefecture went missing again.

The key was that this time, they even lost a Heavenly Demon at the Peak of Spirit Forging.

Once is a coincidence, but is twice still a coincidence?

Some people even discussed it in private.

"Could it be the Huan Ling Sect that made a move?"

"Did the Huan Ling Sect act to protect Zhou Ziming?"

But they all felt it was unlikely.

"Could it be that Zhou Ziming has some other background?"

But this was quickly dismissed.

Because the Original Owner was a native of Haining Prefecture.

His parents' graves and his ancestors could all be found.

This matter instantly became a mystery.

Although everyone felt this matter was related to Zhou Ziming, they also didn't believe that Zhou Ziming could kill a Cultivator at the Peak of Spirit Forging.

In the end, everyone could only wonder if the Heavenly Demon Palace had offended someone else.

However, some people could no longer sleep.

For example, Gu Yiyun of the Huan Ling Sect.

After she learned that the people from the Heavenly Demon Palace had all disappeared, her heart pounded wildly.

"Come out!"

Gu Yiyun roared.

"What's wrong?"

A Black-Robed Man appeared and asked.

Looking at the Black-Robed Man, Gu Yiyun couldn't help but grit her teeth.

"You don't know yet?"

The Black-Robed Man: "???"

He then closed his eyes.

Before long, the Black-Robed Man's face was also full of horror.

"The people from the Heavenly Demon Palace have vanished again?"

Gu Yiyun stared straight at the Black-Robed Man.

"Was this done by Zhou Ziming?"

The Black-Robed Man shook his head.

"That's absolutely impossible. Although Zhou Ziming is a Child of Destiny, he still can't kill a Spirit Forging Peak at the Early Stage of Profound Mastery. Even if he obtained every Opportunity, it would be impossible. Otherwise, he wouldn't have spent his previous life running for his life everywhere."

But following that, the Black-Robed Man felt a headache.

Something went wrong with the Little Spirit King, something went wrong with Mu Ling, and now Elder Heavenly Wood is also dead.

This is a complete mess.

How should things proceed from here?

But what this black robe didn't know was that Gu Yiyun's heart was already extremely unsettled.

She was now so anxious she could hardly eat or sleep.

She had a premonition in her heart.

The disappearance of the Heavenly Demon Palace was definitely related to Zhou Ziming.

But if this matter was really done by Zhou Ziming, how did he kill the Heavenly Wood Great Demon!

If he truly had the ability to slay the Heavenly Wood Great Demon...

Then what about her?

The Heavenly Demons wanted to kill Zhou Ziming, and Zhou Ziming directly slew every Heavenly Demon he could see.

She had targeted him time and time again.

Would he let her off?

Gu Yiyun was already starting to feel a bit of regret.

The Black-Robed Man was somewhat startled by the voice he heard in his mind.

Then he looked at Gu Yiyun and said, "If you're really worried it was Zhou Ziming's doing, I actually have an even better way!"

Gu Yiyun looked toward the Black-Robed Man.

The Black-Robed Man licked his lips at this moment.

Gu Yiyun began to struggle internally.

But in the end, she agreed to the Black-Robed Man's plan.
