175: Dongming Sect, hidden too deep

"Master, won't provoking those from the Great Qian Dynasty truly invite the wrath of the Great Qian Dynasty?" Pang Feifeng was faintly worried.

The Flying Immortal Sect is not the Dongming Sect; it cannot withstand the wrath of Great Qian. Not to mention more, just those four, including Miao Changfeng, were enough to turn the Flying Immortal Sect upside down!

The Old Sect Leader's lips curled into a mocking smile: "That's only if the people from Great Qian still have a chance to come back and cause trouble for my Flying Immortal Sect!"

Previously, he might not have fully understood the Dongming Sect, but ever since the Nanchu Grand Wash, after he personally ascended to the Dongming Sect to offer tribute, the Old Sect Leader finally understood.

These people from the Dongming Sect are simply outrageously dark.

What was the rumored strength of the Grand Elder, Second Elder, and Third Elder of the Dongming Sect?

Yin God high cultivators.

The Flying Immortal Sect believed it, the Tianyuan Grotto-heaven also believed it, the entire South Chu believed it, which is why during the Nanchu Grand Wash, the Tianyuan Grotto-heaven and the Flying Immortal Sect did not pay too much attention to the Dongming Sect at all.

But what was the result?

That damned Grand Elder and Third Elder were living Five Tribulation Yang Gods, and even the slightly weaker Second Elder was a Four Tribulation Yang God, significantly stronger than the Abode Master of Tianyuan Cave Abode.

Even more exaggeratedly, the Dongming Sect had two Protectors who were Six Tribulation Yang Gods.

But do you think this is the full strength of the Dongming Sect?

No, the Dongming Sect has four great Protectors, ten great Inner Sect Elders, and thirty-six True Disciples. Yet, throughout the entire South Chu, including what he, the Old Sect Leader of the Flying Immortal Sect, could see, there were only six great Inner Sect Elders, two great Protectors, and of the thirty-six True Disciples, only a scattered few could be confirmed to be stationed within the Sect's mountain gates in Qing Province and Yuan Province.

So, where did the other Dongming Sect Inner Sect Elders, Protectors, and True Disciples go?

No one knows!

This is also the most underhanded aspect of the Dongming Sect; it has a normal high-level Sect structure and positions known throughout South Chu, but you just can't see the people. They are hidden incredibly deeply.

Furthermore, if the Protectors and Elders of the Dongming Sect are so powerful and profound, could the Sect Leader, who is so low-key within the Dongming Sect that he has almost no presence, be weak?

Would the Dongming Sect not have reclusive old fellows like the Flying Immortal Sect and the Tianyuan Grotto-heaven do?

Of course they do, but you can't guess, and you can't see through them!

The Old Sect Leader of the Flying Immortal Sect is certain that if anyone from the Great Qian Dynasty dares to step foot into the Dongming Sect, they will most likely never have a chance to walk out again.

Considering the time, and the continued absence of terrifying Yang God battles erupting in the direction of the Dongming Sect, the four Yang God Great Cultivators who came from the Great Qian Dynasty have most likely perished.

Also, regarding his own foolish disciple, Pang Feifeng, the old man couldn't quite understand. You are a Sect from South Chu, why are you worrying about the Great Qian Dynasty, which is millions of miles away?

Do you need to consider whose territory the Flying Immortal Sect is operating on?

What region is this?

This is South Chu!

This is the territory where the Dongming Sect holds absolute dominance. Although the Great Qian Dynasty is strong, as long as they conflict with the Dongming Sect, the Flying Immortal Sect should unconditionally stand on the side of the Dongming Sect, unless the Flying Immortal Sect no longer wants to operate in South Chu and wishes to relocate the entire Sect, leaving South Chu.

But if the Flying Immortal Sect truly dared to betray the Dongming Sect, they might not even have the chance to relocate away from South Chu!

Great Qian Dynasty, East Palace.

"My innate Spirit Treasure, from now on, will it never be complete again?"

In the quiet room, Qian Changsheng's brows were tightly furrowed, feeling inexplicably restless.

More than half a month had passed since one of his Spirit Gods was severed in the Lingguang cultivation world. As the Great Qian Crown Prince, even with endless cultivation resources piled up, Qian Changsheng had been unable to repair his severed innate Spirit Treasure during this time!

Qian Changsheng didn't know about others' innate Spirit Treasures, but if his innate Spirit Treasure lacked this corner, it would directly result in him losing one Spirit God, significantly weakening his strength!

More importantly, he could no longer predict whether the innate Spirit Treasure would never be repairable from now on, or if it was merely temporary.

"Pang Feifeng, what kind of method did you use..." Qian Changsheng's eyes were gloomy, already showing a hint of fierce killing intent.

However, it was still alright. Miao Changfeng, the Head of the Demon Suppression Division, along with three Yang God Great Cultivator retainers, had already gone to South Chu. Now that more than half a month had passed, they must be on their way back to Great Qian with Pang Feifeng.

Once Pang Feifeng arrived, Qian Changsheng would have a way to pry open Pang Feifeng's mouth and find a method to repair his innate Spirit Treasure.

Just then, the sealing talisman in the quiet room suddenly lit up.

Qian Changsheng's eyes flickered, and finally, he slowly got up and removed the seal: "What matter disturbs my cultivation?"

A servant hurried in from outside, knelt on the ground, and trembled: "Your Highness, the life plaques of Miao Changfeng, the Head of the Demon Suppression Division, and the three Yang God retainers who went to South Chu with him, have all shattered!"

A shattered life plaque represents complete demise!

In an instant, Qian Changsheng suddenly stood up, shocked and angry: "Four Yang God Great Cultivators, not a single one survived?"

"None. The life plaques of the four great cultivators shattered almost simultaneously, not even leaving behind larger fragments!" The servant prostrated on the ground, responding cautiously.

This meant that Miao Changfeng and the other four died extremely thoroughly, likely having their bodies wiped into dust.

Qian Changsheng's face became even gloomier, remaining silent for a long time.

It wasn't until a good while later that he waved his hand, and the servant, as if granted amnesty, hurried away.

"To simultaneously eliminate four Yang God Great Cultivators, does the Flying Immortal Sect actually possess such a foundation?!"

So be it. Since forceful acquisition is not feasible, then wait for the Qing Ming Great Cleansing to fully commence. At that time, there might be an opportunity to see that 'Pang Feifeng' of the Flying Immortal Sect again. By then, he will personally capture Pang Feifeng and search his soul and spirit.

Additionally, the Flying Immortal Sect in South Chu also needs to be thoroughly investigated.

Having killed people from Great Qian, they must also pay a price.

................

South Chu, Dongming Sect.

Doujian Peak, within the grotto-heaven.

Lu Chen didn't know that just outside his Sect's gate, the Sect Leader had waved his hand and crushed four Yang God Great Cultivators into dust. Otherwise, Lu Chen wouldn't still be in seclusion right now, because it would make his heart ache.

Four Yang Gods!

Are these Yang Gods?

No!

These are four Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers.

Of course, Lu Chen was unaware of all this, and the Sect Leader didn't have time to inform him of such a trivial matter.

At this time, the Sect Leader and others had already gone to the Ancient Demon Remnant Tomb, and at this moment, Lu Chen had also reached a critical point in his enlightenment.

By utilizing the time spent sensing back and forth with the two Wind and Thunder Dao Soldiers, Lu Chen's comprehension of true intent advanced by leaps and bounds. Within just a few days, he had already pushed the Five Elements true intents of Metal, Wood, Water, Fire, and Earth, as well as the two great true intents of Wind and Thunder, all to the Ninth Layer Great Perfection.

As long as he took another half step forward, he could touch upon the realm of rules and comprehend the scope of rules that only Yang God Great Cultivators could reach.

Visibly, layers of Five Elements and Wind and Thunder power had already swirled around Lu Chen, and these natural forces of heaven and earth seemed to have come alive, surging and rolling incessantly. The power of the Fire Element occasionally transformed into galloping horses and walking beasts, the power of Thunder became electric snakes and thunder dragons, and the power of the Water Element turned into surging rivers...

However, all of this was still extremely illusory, as if always separated by a thin membrane that had not been completely broken through.

ps: Wow, I saw that a big shot gave five inspiration capsules, and another big shot gave 'Show', thank you, thank you!

Also, all the Yan Zus who gave other gifts are also very powerful, thank you, thank you!!!
