591: You only have half a month.

Kongming Mountain is located on a branch of the Panlong Mountain Range.

The mountains are stacked, stretching endlessly, and at a glance, one cannot see their end; mountains are everywhere, with peaks towering into the clouds.

And within this mountain range, the Demon Refining Sect is the absolute Dominator!

The mountains are not short of Yao Beasts, Vicious Beasts, and even some Heretical Path Cultivators, but no one dares to approach within a million li radius of the Demon Refining Sect.

The Demon Refining Sect’s territory is vast; throughout the entire mountain range, massive palaces are built within the mountains, where Spirit Beasts fly, auspicious signs steam, and dense Spiritual Qi transforms into a continuous mist shrouding the entire mountain range.

As the City Lord of Tianshui City, Yang Guang has many dealings with the Demon Refining Sect, more like a relationship of dependence, offering tribute to the Demon Refining Sect every year.

Therefore, he is not unfamiliar with the Demon Refining Sect.

However, this time, upon arriving at the Demon Refining Sect, Yang Guang’s heart was filled with a few more worries.

He did not know what fate awaited him.

After all, Wang Chen’s grandfather, Wang Jin, is a well-known Master of the Demon Refining Sect!

A Cultivator of the Half-step Heaven and Earth King Realm, in this Domain, he is almost an invincible existence; who would dare to touch his grandson?

Isn’t that seeking death?

He, Yang Guang, failed to look after Wang Chen, allowing him to die in Tianshui City; this responsibility is inescapable!

Taking a deep breath, Yang Guang entered the Demon Refining Sect.

At the same time.

Inside a magnificent palace.

A thin-faced, slender middle-aged man sat at the head seat of the Protector’s Hall.

Below him, a young Disciple of the Demon Refining Sect knelt.

“Third Protector, this Disciple performed a routine inspection of the soul tablets today and found that Senior Brother Wang’s soul tablet was shattered. Not daring to delay, I immediately came to report. Please, Third Protector, be aware.”

The young Disciple was trembling with fear.

He was responsible for guarding the soul tablets, needing to check every day for any changes.

To see if any Sect Disciples had fallen outside.

As a result, he actually saw Wang Chen’s soul tablet shattered, feeling as if the sky was about to collapse!

Wang Jin’s face was ashen, his deep, abyssal eyes fixed on him, like a peerless Vicious Beast eyeing its prey.

He said nothing, but with just that one look, the young Disciple’s pupils suddenly dilated, and then his entire body exploded.

Thump, thump, thump!

A series of footsteps approached. Wang Jin waved his large sleeve, and all the remains of the young Disciple after his death were swept away, disappearing without a trace.

A young man in a tight suit with an indifferent expression walked in.

“Master, Yang Guang has arrived and is kneeling outside, requesting an audience.”

This young man was named Wang Yu. He was adopted by Wang Jin from a young age and possessed a cultivation of the Eighth Level of the Immortal Realm. He was Wang Jin’s most promising Disciple to break through to the Heaven and Earth Sealing King Realm!

Moreover, he reached this Realm after only Cultivating for ten thousand years. Both his talent and cultivation can be called top-tier!

Seeing Wang Yu, the coldness on Wang Jin’s face lessened a bit.

This was his proud Disciple, so his attitude was naturally different.

“Let him in.”

Wang Jin could easily guess that Yang Guang’s arrival must be related to Wang Chen’s matter; otherwise, he wouldn’t have come so quickly.

After all, the status gap between them was significant, and it wasn’t easy for Yang Guang to see him.

“Yes, Master!”

Wang Yu left.

Soon, Yang Guang walked in from outside the great hall.

Boom!!!

As soon as he entered the door, Yang Guang felt as if an invisible heavy hammer had fiercely struck him, and all the bones in his body instantly shattered.

Like a puddle of mud, he collapsed softly onto the floor of the great hall.

“Mercy… mercy!”

Fortunately, Wang Jin did not deliver a killing blow; otherwise, Yang Guang would have died on the spot!

The reason he kept him alive was clearly that Yang Guang still had some value.

But suffering some pain was inevitable.

As for whether he could survive in the end, Yang Guang could only rely on his own fortune.

“Mercy? What right do you have to live in this world?!”

Wang Jin’s voice was calm, showing no emotion, but the attitude in his words indicated the anger in his heart at this moment.

Wang Chen was his only grandson, the sole heir of the Wang family, on whom he placed great hopes!

Even if he was lawless within the Demon Refining Sect, Wang Jin doted on him and never allowed him to suffer any grievances.

Outside, it went without saying.

Immortal Realm Masters as guards are rare in other Sects.

Wang Chen received countless resources, reaching the Immortal Realm at a young age, all of which were expressions of Wang Jin’s doting.

His death, one could say, made Wang Jin more ferocious than ever before!

Yang Guang’s body was shattered, only his head remained intact. The pain in his body was nothing; he knew he had only one chance to survive.

“Third Protector, I know I failed to protect Young Master, but I guarantee that within three months, I will bring the murderer to the Demon Refining Sect for the Protector to deal with!”

Yang Guang knew very well that if he didn’t strive for this opportunity, he would only die!

And the only chance was to find the murderer and personally deliver him to Wang Jin.

Wang Jin’s cold and ruthless eyes glanced at him, a fierce look flashing through his pupils.

He naturally knew Yang Guang’s thoughts. If it were peacetime, Yang Guang would not have survived at all!

He had to be buried with Wang Chen.

Finding a murderer? With his strength, Wang Jin could surely find one, right?

Unfortunately, from the moment he learned the news, he had already divined the murderer.

But the heavenly secrets were obscured, a complete Chaos, and he almost suffered a backlash from the Heavenly Dao!

This showed that the murderer this time was extraordinary. Someone even he couldn’t divine was of unusual origin; someone had concealed the heavenly secrets, making him helpless.

This was also the reason he didn’t kill Yang Guang immediately!

“Three months? This old man doesn’t have the patience to wait three months for you!”

Wang Jin’s anger was about to erupt now; how could he possibly give him so much time to track down the murderer’s whereabouts?

Yang Guang also understood that this time was indeed a bit long.

Gritting his teeth, Yang Guang could only take a gamble; he couldn’t lose this only chance to survive.

“Third Protector, rest assured, my people have seen the murderer’s appearance. After Young Master was killed, I immediately sealed the passages of the Tianshui Domain. The murderer cannot have left. After I return, I will immediately have all the Cultivators in Tianshui City track down the murderer’s whereabouts!”

“At most, one month’s time, he will definitely be found!”

Yang Guang didn’t know if he could find the other party, because so far, he had only obtained portraits of Shen Tianxing and a few others.

He knew nothing about the names or origins of Shen Tianxing and Liu Xianyun.

The Tianshui Domain was too vast; whether they could be found was an unknown.

He just couldn’t lose this chance to survive.

Wang Jin’s eyes flickered, not knowing what he was thinking. His cold eyes stared at Yang Guang, as if he wanted to swallow him alive.

“Hmph, half a month. You only have half a month.”

“If you don’t find the murderer, your entire family and nine generations can die!”

As Wang Jin’s words fell, he waved his large sleeve, and Yang Guang’s body rapidly recovered at a visible speed.

In less than three breaths, Yang Guang stood completely intact in the great hall.

Escaping death!

Yang Guang greedily breathed the air, having walked between life and death. He was glad he could still live.

From the moment he decided to come to the Demon Refining Sect, he feared he wouldn’t be able to return.

“Protector, rest assured, I will surely accomplish it!”

Yang Guang respectfully agreed, then cautiously exited the great hall and quickly departed.
