Nonsense

The enraged Zong Daotian, however, had not completely lost his last shred of reason.

He flicked his sleeve, and a phantom image, precisely in Zhong Qing’s likeness, condensed directly in the Void Realm.

“This person is the murderer of my son!”

“The entire Sect, no matter what methods are used, no matter what price is paid.”

“Find out his identity for me with the fastest speed!”

“Then I, this Sect Master, will personally crush his entire family, leaving no one alive!”

Almost roaring these words, Zong Daotian swiftly departed.

Through the aura of the scroll, he could still track the location of the other end of the rift.

At this time, the murderer was most likely no longer at the original spot, but his son’s remaining corpse was still there, so he naturally couldn’t ignore it.

And the remaining Elders and Peak Masters of Wuya Mountain looked at each other, their faces gloomy, and then departed.

Next, a storm was likely to arrive.

On the other side, Zhong Qing, who had casually crushed Zong Minglie to death, casually tossed the bloody corpse onto the ground without a glance, and turned directly back to Zifenglian.

At this time, Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and the others had already taken the Medicinal Pills brought by Shi Xiaotian and the other, and their injuries had stabilized.

However, they were still very severe.

To fight against a Sun Profound Realm expert for two moves with Star Profound Realm cultivation, not dying was already extremely fortunate.

Zhong Qing still had some Reversal Pills he had refined himself.

But fortunately, he had some self-awareness, knowing that it was hard to say whether taking his Reversal Pills would lead to rejuvenation or ascension, so he didn’t dare to let everyone take them.

He merely activated his power, directly using Profound Qi to heal everyone.

With his current Sanyin Realm cultivation, treating a group of Star Profound Realm cultivators was quite simple.

However, Zhong Qing felt a bit regretful.

Why hadn’t he thought before that the Sect Master and the others’ cultivation levels were also very dangerous outside?

It was just that the Sect Master and Elders usually stayed within the Sect and rarely went out, which made Zhong Qing forget about this matter.

If he had known earlier, he should have left some wooden carvings for Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and the others to protect them.

Today was truly perilous; Immortal River Sect almost became just the single sapling of Mufu Peak.

Once everyone’s injuries had recovered enough for them to move, Zhong Qing led them back to Immortal River Sect.

Everyone went into seclusion to recover, while Zhong Qing also prepared to return to Mufu Peak to have Shi Xiaotian and the other refine some proper Reversal Pills for everyone.

“Peak Master Zhong.”

Before leaving, the Grand Elder called out to Zhong Qing to remind him.

“That person was the Young Lord of Wuya Mountain; you killed him, and Wuya Mountain will certainly not let it go.”

“Of course, for you, Wuya Mountain is nothing much, but still be careful.”

Zhong Qing nodded in agreement; he really should be careful.

Although Wuya Mountain could be slapped to death with one palm, he didn’t want to end up like last time with the Red-haired Old Ghost, who attacked the mountain, and he hadn’t even arrived yet, resulting in many Disciple casualties, which would be a huge loss.

Subsequently.

Zhong Qing returned to Mufu Peak.

Before he left, he didn’t forget to leave a few wooden carvings for Sect Leader Xuan Yuanhong and the others, all of which he had drawn from lotteries in the past few days.

After returning to Mufu Peak, Shi Xiaotian and the other dared not be negligent.

They opened their furnaces overnight and refined several batches of Reversal Pills, sending them to the various peaks of Immortal River Sect.

With their current Alchemy cultivation, Reversal Pills were already a simple matter; these days, they were researching the Rejuvenation Pill from the Dan Yuan Dao Scripture, and once successful, it wouldn’t be impossible to advance further, reaching a level above Alchemy King.

In a blink of an eye, several more days passed.

On the peak of Yunya Peak, inside the Wuya Hall.

Zong Daotian listened with a gloomy face to the news reported by his subordinate.

“This person’s name is Zhong Qing, and he is the Peak Master of Mufu Peak of the newly promoted first-class Sect, Immortal River Sect…”

Although there was only a likeness, the power of the Holy Land was extraordinary, and within just a few days, Zhong Qing’s identity was found out.

“Hmph, Immortal River Sect… a mere newly promoted first-class Sect, yet dares to kill my child.”

“Truly courting death!”

A murderous glint flashed in Zong Daotian’s eyes.

The subordinate spoke, “Sect Master, not only that, although this Immortal River Sect is nothing special, from the information gathered, this Zhong Qing seems to be extraordinary.”

“Oh?”

Zong Daotian coldly asked, “How is he extraordinary?”

The subordinate hesitated for a moment before speaking again.

“I heard that Hei Bai Elders Shi Xiaotian and Wu Yue of Limitless Sect both left Limitless Sect and joined Mufu Peak, becoming two Outer Sect Disciples.”

“Limitless Sect Elders? Outer Sect Disciples?” Zong Daotian was first stunned, then frowned and said, “Hmph, where did you hear such baseless rumors? How could Holy Land Elders become Outer Sect Disciples?”

“Most likely, this Immortal River Sect used some means to get connected with Limitless Sect, no wonder they dared to kill my Lie’er.”

“But even if you just got connected with Limitless Sect, even if it was Limitless Sect itself, if they dared to kill my Lie’er, I would never let them off.”

The subordinate continued, “Not only that, this Zhong Qing is said to be extraordinarily strong; he once instantly killed the Red-haired Old Ghost, and the Grand Elder of Flying Knife Gate is also said to have been killed by him.”

“Moreover, he once single-handedly attacked Heaven Cloud Sect, forcing Heaven Cloud Sect to submit, and the first-class Sect Hao Han Sect merged with Heaven Cloud Sect under his influence.”

“They are all insignificant small characters.” Zong Daotian impatiently waved his hand, “If that’s all, then there’s no need to say more.”

Heaven Cloud Sect and Hao Han Sect, though called first-class Sects with strength close to a Holy Land, seemed unattainable to outsiders.

But as the Sect Master of the true Holy Land Wuya Mountain, how could he put these in his eyes?

The subordinate paused again, then hesitated and said, “Besides that, I also heard that Zhong Qing’s origin is mysterious; the Three Ancestors of Holy Land Morning Glow Valley, the Old Ancestor of Limitless Sect, and the Old Ancestor of Fu Yun Sect have all received his kindness and revere him… Even the Five Great Hall Masters of Dan Zun Pavilion are respectful towards him—”

His words were cut short by Zong Daotian.

“Nonsense, this is utter nonsense.”

Zong Daotian said coldly, “Where did you hear such absurd news? How dare you bring such ridiculous words to me, this Sect Master?”

“Hmph, listening to this, my Eastern Region only has Five Great Holy Lands in total, so besides my Wuya Mountain, the other Four Great Holy Lands all revere him?”

“Why not just say that the Old Ancestor of my Wuya Mountain is also his servant?”

“If there was such a figure in the Eastern Region, would I, this Sect Master, not have heard of him?”

“Or are you saying that in these short few months while I, this Sect Master, was in seclusion refining my divine weapon, this person suddenly appeared and subdued the Four Great Holy Lands?”

“I told you to inquire about his intelligence, not to bring me some wild, baseless talk!”

The subordinate’s face turned pale with fright, and he quickly prostrated himself to beg for forgiveness.

In reality, even he found these rumors absurd, and he felt a bit uneasy when speaking them.

“Those rumors are indeed absurd, but it is true that this person’s Mufu Peak has two Holy Land Elders, and Hao Han Sect did indeed merge into Heaven Cloud Sect not long ago; he himself should not be simple, perhaps he still has something hidden, I will go inquire again.”
