The extraordinary achievements of the predecessors

It was already the next day when Su Wenjiu and Peak Lord Lu Qingxia arrived at Immortal River Sect!

The two flew through the air!

The mountain landscape was fully visible.

The mountains here were green, the waters clear, and the scenery exceptionally beautiful!

“If not for Third Ancestor facing a great calamity, staying here for a while, looking at the mountains, and enjoying the scenery, would also be excellent,” Peak Lord Lu Qingxia thought to herself.

“Master, that’s Senior Zhong Qing’s Mufu Peak ahead!” Su Wenjiu pointed the way, her voice filled with excitement.

Along the way, she naturally knew her Master’s attitude.

Clearly, she didn’t hold much hope for Zhong Qing’s ability to save Third Ancestor.

However, others didn’t understand, but how could she not?

Zhong Qing gave her the feeling of a reclusive master, an immortal banished to the mortal world.

She was confident that after witnessing the extraordinary nature of that senior, her Master would surely change her view.

Half an hour later, the master and disciple had arrived above Mufu Peak.

“Senior!”

“Su Wenjiu has come to visit!” She kept her posture very low, which made Peak Lord Lu Qingxia curious.

Her disciple was quite arrogant.

She had never seen her be so respectful to anyone before.

She really wanted to see what was so extraordinary about the person who could make her disciple so convinced.

Before long, the courtyard gate on Mufu Peak opened.

A figure walked out from inside.

He wore a green robe.

His long hair fell casually to his waist.

Yet, it didn’t appear messy; instead, it had a hint of uninhibited charm.

His features were delicate, and his face was resolute.

His entire demeanor was extraordinary, steady, and reserved.

The first impression he gave was that he was handsome!

Of course, in the cultivation world, temperament and appearance were secondary.

Strength was the foundation of one’s standing.

Peak Lord Lu Qingxia repeatedly scrutinized Zhong Qing but didn’t feel a trace of spiritual power fluctuation from him.

She looked at her disciple with a puzzled gaze, as if asking, “Is this the reclusive master you spoke of?”

Su Wenjiu understood her Master’s meaning.

She secretly transmitted, “Master, please be patient.”

“The reason a master is a master is precisely because he doesn’t show off or reveal his power.”

“If someone can be easily seen through, are they still a master?”

Peak Lord Lu Qingxia didn’t refute, deciding to observe further.

At this moment, Zhong Qing looked at Su Wenjiu in the sky.

“Why are you here?” In his impression, this girl was a bit thick-skinned and liked to spout nonsense.

His impression wasn’t too good!

One sentence left Su Wenjiu at a loss for how to respond!

After all, she was a girl, and her face was a bit thin.

Previously, some not-so-pleasant misunderstandings had occurred between them.

She couldn’t just directly say, “I want to ask you for a favor,” could she?

Peak Lord Lu Qingxia saw her disciple’s predicament and immediately spoke.

“I heard that Sir once saved my disciple’s life.”

“Today, the two of us are passing through your esteemed place and wanted to visit to express our gratitude!”

Zhong Qing stroked his chin.

After a moment of contemplation, he said, “All who cross my threshold are guests, so please come down and have a cup of tea!”

“Thank you, Senior!” Zhong Qing’s invitation was a huge relief for Su Wenjiu.

She had been worried that he wouldn’t welcome her.

If a dignified Holy Land Sect Master and Saintess were rejected at the door, then she would truly become a joke!

Fortunately, this situation did not occur.

The two women descended from the sky to the ground.

They followed Zhong Qing into the small courtyard!

Inside the living room!

Zhong Qing poured a cup of tea for each of them.

Su Wenjiu introduced them solemnly from the side.

“Master, this is Senior Zhong Qing, whom I’ve mentioned to you many times.”

“Senior, this is my Master—the current Sect Master of Morning Glow Valley Holy Land, Peak Lord Lu Qingxia!”

After the introductions.

Peak Lord Lu Qingxia slowly sipped her fragrant tea and said, “Sir, this place has clear mountains and beautiful waters, and the scenery is pleasant.”

“They say one chooses mountains and waters, which reveals one’s character.”

“It seems, Sir, you must be a refined person!”

Zhong Qing smiled and said, “I follow my own path, and as for whether it’s refined or vulgar, I don’t care at all.”

“In life, all one seeks is peace and freedom!”

These words instantly made Peak Lord Lu Qingxia regard him highly.

Putting everything else aside, just this open-mindedness was not something everyone could possess.

The few of them chatted and laughed, and the atmosphere was quite harmonious!

When it was past noon.

Peak Lord Lu Qingxia suggested, “Sir, I observe that the scenery on Mufu Peak is excellent, I wonder if we could take a stroll on the mountain.”

She had come this time to invite a reclusive master.

Whether Zhong Qing truly was one, from the current perspective, she was somewhat uncertain.

If she invited a fake master back, then she, as the Sect Master, would truly become a joke.

And verifying Zhong Qing’s identity was also very simple.

Just going to see the so-called Sea of Bitterness that Su Wenjiu mentioned, and seeing if it was as mysterious as she said, would basically settle the matter!

“Please do!” Mufu Peak indeed had pleasant scenery, and there were no hidden or taboo places.

Zhong Qing naturally didn’t care.

The two left the small courtyard.

“Master, how was it?” Su Wenjiu asked impatiently, “Did you see Senior’s extraordinary nature yet!”

“You take me to see that so-called Sea of Bitterness!”

“I should be able to make a judgment then!”

These words were exactly what Su Wenjiu wanted.

In her opinion, that place was a great terror of the world.

It was also the most direct and powerful evidence that could prove Zhong Qing’s extraordinary nature.

She immediately said, “Master, please follow me!”

As she spoke, she directly led Peak Lord Lu Qingxia towards the back mountain.

However, that Sea of Bitterness had long been collected by Zhong Qing into his Small World.

When she reached the destination, what appeared before her was merely an ordinary small pond!

“How can it be gone?” Su Wenjiu became anxious.

“I clearly remember it being right here!”

She searched all over the mountains but couldn’t find any trace of the Sea of Bitterness.

“Enough, Wenjiu, let’s drop this matter!” Peak Lord Lu Qingxia’s expression wasn’t very good.

She shouldn’t have held any expectations for this matter!

After all, how could a second-rate sect produce a master stronger than a Holy Land!

This was simply a fantasy!

“Let’s go back!”

“Saving Third Ancestor requires long-term deliberation!”

She directly dismissed the possibility of Zhong Qing being a reclusive powerful expert.

She then prepared to return to the small courtyard, say goodbye, and leave.

However, as soon as the two returned to the small courtyard.

Just then!

A figure flew across the sky.

He was burly and strong, dressed in a black robe!

His aura was vast and profound like an abyss.

“How could it be him?” Peak Lord Lu Qingxia’s heart tightened.

This person was none other than Hei Bai.

Peak Lord Lu Qingxia had a deep understanding of Hei Bai’s power.

In front of him, even she, a dignified Holy Land Sect Master, was no match for a single blow.

But why had he come here?
