No, I'm wronged.

Sun Dahai stared blankly at Sun Tianming.

He also wanted to say something.

"I haven't seen you for a while, how did you become so arrogant?"

But when he thought of Sun Tianming's performance just now, he couldn't bring himself to say those words.

The truth was, his younger brother indeed had the capital to be arrogant.

But Sun Dahai still said, "You were too impulsive. If it weren't for me, you would have lost your life here today!"

Sun Tianming also felt a lingering fear.

"What on earth was that bell? How could it be so terrifying!"

Sun Dahai explained.

"That is the soul-capturing bell. Its sound can bewilder the mind and affect a person's Divine Soul. It's a control-type Spirit Treasure!"

"Up until now, I haven't found a way to break it!"

Sun Tianming frowned. "Is there really no way to break it?"

Sun Dahai hesitated for a moment.

"There is. The soul-capturing bell is a Yin-attribute Spirit Treasure. The Thunder Technique you Cultivate can counter it, but that Spirit Treasure's Rank is not low. To completely counter it, one needs very profound attainment in the Thunder Technique. From the looks of it, you clearly aren't up to it!"

Sun Tianming suddenly thought of Zhou Ziming.

"By the way, Second Brother, you disappeared for a while—were you participating in the Holy Hall Disciple examination?"

Sun Dahai nodded.

Looking at Sun Dahai's miserable state, Sun Tianming asked tentatively, "You couldn't have been devastated by that strange city too, right?"

Sun Dahai shook his head.

"No!"

Sun Tianming was a bit confused.

"If not, why are you like this?"

Sun Dahai's eyes became vacant.

"My previous plan was to join the Holy Hall, but when I realized the Holy Hall wasn't as beautiful as I imagined, my Dao Heart shattered a bit!"

"And after seeing Wanle City again, that last bit of hope in my heart completely died!"

Then, Sun Dahai explained.

The reason Wanle City could exist was actually due to the tacit permission of a big shot within the Holy Hall.

That big shot even visited this place frequently.

Furthermore, the assets of Wanle City were divided equally among the three people behind it.

Otherwise, why would the human Cultivator guarding Wanle City have something like the soul-capturing bell?

Sun Tianming was puzzled.

"How do you know all this?"

Sun Dahai sighed.

"Initially, I wanted to assassinate that human Cultivator. As long as I killed him, without the soul-capturing bell, I could kill the Demon Race and Yao Race as I pleased!"

"But just as I was about to succeed, I was pinned down by people from the Holy Hall!"

"Seeing that I was an Examination Disciple, that Holy Hall Disciple just broke my limbs and threw me out!"

"But they didn't really want to let me go. They couldn't take action themselves, but there were plenty of people in Wanle City who could!"

"However, that assassin didn't kill me. He used it as an excuse to escape, and only then did he tell me about Wanle City!"

Sun Tianming looked at the brightly lit Wanle City in the distance, then at Sun Dahai's cave.

Sun Tianming couldn't help but ask, "Then what are you doing squatting here?"

Sun Dahai said directly, "I want to try again!"

Sun Tianming understood. "You still want to slaughter Wanle City?"

Sun Dahai nodded.

Sun Tianming shook his head. "Forget it, especially in your current state!"

Sun Dahai looked at Sun Tianming.

"Don't I have you?"

Sun Tianming shook his head.

"You're overthinking it. Once that soul-capturing bell comes out, both of us will become sitting ducks."

Sun Dahai fell silent.

However, looking at Wanle City now, Sun Tianming's face was filled with anger.

"No, I still feel very wronged. Damn it, Wanle City, you're finished!"

After saying that, Sun Tianming looked at Sun Dahai and asked.

"Do you have a map of Demon Hunting Island?"

Sun Dahai nodded.

"I do! But what do you want a map for?"

Sun Tianming said directly, "I'm going to find someone to help me vent my anger!"

Then, Sun Tianming quickly flipped through the map.

After that, he looked at a certain spot on the map and asked.

"Second Brother, do you know where this place is?"

Sun Dahai looked down, then nodded.

"I know. It's not far from here. Besides, the human meat in the city is all sourced from this town!"

Upon hearing this.

Sun Tianming was instantly overjoyed.

"Then Wanle City is truly finished. Even the Holy Hall can't save it; Master Zhou said so!"

Sun Dahai: "???"

...Meanwhile, at Zhou Ziming's residence.

He was currently refining a Spirit Treasure.

The rain listening sword, refined to the first layer.

"Increases the base release speed of the Spirit Treasure by two times!"

"Increases the base power of the Spirit Treasure's Water Sword Qi by two times!"

"Increases the base quantity of the Spirit Treasure's Water Sword Qi!"

Zhou Ziming chose the second option without hesitation.

Because the rain Sword Qi released by this Spirit Treasure with one slash was already sufficient in both speed and quantity.

Therefore, Zhou Ziming went all-in on the Sword Qi's power.

After this Spirit Treasure was refined to the ninth layer by Zhou Ziming.

The power of his Spirit Treasure's Sword Qi directly reached eighteen times the original base.

"Good heavens, I really want to test the power of this Spirit Treasure now! I really want to find someone to try it on!"

Then, Zhou Ziming strengthened the Spirit Treasure three more times.

This directly increased the power of the Spirit Treasure's Sword Qi to twenty-four times.

Zhou Ziming was extremely satisfied with this rain listening sword.

Then, Zhou Ziming took out another crimson long saber.

The blade was straight and only a finger wide.

The design of the long saber was exactly in the style of a Tang Dao.

But this long saber was very unusual.

Zhou Ziming used the dust cleansing gourd to refine it, but the progress was very slow.

It was estimated to take half a month.

He originally wanted to say, "Revered Master, are you up to this? This thing takes that long?"

But thinking about how the progress of the dust cleansing gourd was based on his own limits, he didn't say it.

After some thought, Zhou Ziming still left the thing to be handled by the gourd.

"Isn't it just half a month?"

Zhou Ziming was in no hurry.

Instead, he was somewhat looking forward to what attributes the long saber would have once he released its first layer of Restriction.

Regardless, he had the rain listening sword now, so he was set for Spirit Treasures.

Zhou Ziming emerged from seclusion.

He was now going to find someone to test the damage.

Just as Zhou Ziming walked out.

He heard a series of cries.

All the Dao Gate Disciples who were currently Cultivating also heard it.

Zhou Ziming even thought he might have misheard.

He looked at Qian Dafu and asked somewhat uncertainly.

"Why does this voice sound so much like Sun Tianming?"

Qian Dafu was also a bit unsure.

"It sounds like him to me too!"

But he also found it hard to believe.

The truth was, the impression Sun Tianming gave him was that of someone who was always serious and unsmiling.

Zhou Ziming hesitated for a moment, then said, "Let's go out and see!"

Qian Dafu nodded.

When the two came out, they saw Sun Tianming rushing toward Zhou Ziming with a face full of snot and tears!

Zhou Ziming immediately sent a bolt of lightning down.

"Waaaah..."

Sun Tianming twitched frantically from being struck by the lightning.

But then, Sun Tianming spoke again, "Master Zhou, I feel so wronged! I was bullied, you have to stand up for me!"

Zhou Ziming: "..."
