Why is Master here?

Thinking of this, Lord Gu Chenxian set off.

He wanted to see what kind of existence this mysterious person who cultivated ten thousand Innate Dao Bodies truly was.

His figure transformed into a streak of light, heading directly towards the Phoenix Feather Sect.

And when Lord Gu Chenxian stepped into the Chaotic Land, Fire Enchantress, who was in the midst of a painful struggle, immediately sensed his presence.

"Has... has Lord arrived?"

"Yes, that's right, this aura, it must be Lord's aura!"

"Looking at the direction he's going, it seems to be the Phoenix Feather Sect?"

"No, I must go find Lord!"

Fire Enchantress's expression shifted, but she couldn't distinguish whether her urgency to find Lord Gu Chenxian was greater than her desire to see Zhong Qing more.

As she spoke, she headed straight towards the Phoenix Feather Sect.

...

On this day, Lord Gu Chenxian's figure appeared outside the Phoenix Feather Sect's mountain gate.

A wisp of aura burst forth from his body, startling the wind and clouds, shaking heaven and earth, as if it would crush mountains and earth.

"Rumble..."

The entire space became distorted under the pressure of this aura.

This aura, carrying a hint of killing intent, shook the entire Phoenix Feather Sect.

It caused the myriad grand formations within the Phoenix Feather Sect to activate.

One could see streaks of light flashing within the Phoenix Feather Sect, and dense, intricate runes communicated with heaven and earth, drawing upon the mighty power of the sun, moon, and stars, finally forming a colossal, ten-thousand-foot-tall phantom of a Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound.

"Roar!"

In the sky, the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound roared, and a vast, ancient aura burst forth from its body, confronting Lord Gu Chenxian.

"Is this the Phoenix Feather Sect's method?"

Lord Gu Chenxian murmured.

He stood with his hands behind his back, observing the operational patterns of this grand formation.

"It is indeed somewhat extraordinary. Even an ordinary Great Saint expert would probably not be able to break through this formation's defense."

"But if it's only to this extent, then all the preparations I made would be in vain!"

Before descending upon the Phoenix Feather Sect, Lord Gu Chenxian had not only cultivated a powerful secret technique to perfection, but also traveled to the True Domain to retrieve his innate divine weapon, and even met his master, who imparted to him the supreme Dao.

Deep down, he had always regarded the Phoenix Feather Sect as a powerful opponent.

Lord Gu Chenxian was not in a hurry to act; he was using his own methods to probe the Phoenix Feather Sect's foundation.

And with Lord Gu Chenxian's appearance, the activation of the Phoenix Feather Sect's formation immediately drew the attention of all its members.

"So, so powerful an aura!"

A Heavenly Dao Institute disciple's expression tightened, his face slightly changing.

Phoenix Aotian, who was engrossed in reading an Emperor-Level Cultivation Method, also had a drastic change in expression.

"Who is it? To be able to activate all the grand formations I've set up?"

Just from that wisp of aura, he knew that the newcomer's strength was no less than his own at his peak.

On the other side, within the small courtyard, Ye Ji's face turned pale as she sensed Lord Gu Chenxian's aura.

Although she had long known this day would come sooner or later, she hadn't expected it to arrive so quickly, so urgently.

Zhong Qing's eyes were deep and profound.

He took a sip of wine.

"Let's go!"

"Let's see what methods this Lord you speak of possesses?"

As he spoke, his figure moved, and he had already vanished from his original spot.

Ye Ji's expression shifted uncertainly, but in the end, she gritted her teeth and followed him.

Outside the Phoenix Feather Sect's mountain gate!

Lord Gu Chenxian stood thus in the sky.

He was too transcendent!

The cold wind howled, and white snow drifted everywhere.

He stood in the cold wind and white snow like a banished immortal.

His tall and straight figure was like a mountain, giving off a sense of profound might and grandeur, and his deep eyes were like stars, making one feel an unfathomable vastness.

Just by standing there, he was like an ancient divine mountain, pressing down on everyone's hearts.

Outside the mountain gate, quite a few disciples had gathered at this moment.

Everyone was awed by this powerful aura.

They looked at the newcomer with solemn expressions.

Phoenix Aotian stepped out from the crowd.

His expression slightly tightened, and he proudly spoke in a loud voice.

"Who are you? How dare you act presumptuously at my Phoenix Feather Sect!"

Lord Gu Chenxian merely glanced at him indifferently.

Just that one glance made Phoenix Aotian feel as if he had no secrets whatsoever before him.

A moment later, Lord Gu Chenxian said expressionlessly, "Have the Phoenix Feather Sect master come out. You are not my match."

These words instantly made Phoenix Aotian's face turn dark.

Yet, he couldn't find any reason to refute.

If he were at his peak, he would be confident in confronting the opponent.

But now that he had fallen from his peak, even with the blessing of myriad grand formations, he truly wasn't confident he could suppress the opponent.

Lord Gu Chenxian's aura was simply too powerful.

So powerful that Phoenix Aotian felt immense pressure.

This kind of pressure, he had only felt from a handful of people in his lifetime.

The first was Dust Emperor, who had plunged the Three-Eyed Phoenix Hound Clan into an abyss of eternal damnation.

The second was Zhong Qing!

Of course, despite the great pressure, Phoenix Aotian would not genuinely fear Lord Gu Chenxian.

After all, behind him stood an unfathomable master.

They say one should never lose face, even if one loses the battle.

He said loudly, "Undeniably, you are very strong."

"But the Phoenix Feather Sect is far from a place where you can act presumptuously."

"If you know what's good for you, retreat quickly!"

"Otherwise, this time next year will be your death anniversary."

As he spoke, his eyes moved; he sensed his master's aura.

He knew that Zhong Qing had arrived.

Instantly, Phoenix Aotian's expression trembled slightly.

How strong was Zhong Qing?

This had always been a mystery within the entire Phoenix Feather Sect.

No one had ever witnessed Zhong Qing's full strength.

This time, he could take this opportunity to witness his master's might!

On the other side, Zhong Qing's appearance caused the Phoenix Feather Sect disciples present to tremble with excitement.

It was as if they had found their backbone.

"Master!"

Countless people bowed to Zhong Qing, their postures respectful, their expressions excited.

There are some people who, once they appear, are inevitably the focus of the entire scene, the center of all attention.

Clearly, Zhong Qing was such a person.

Behind Zhong Qing, Ye Ji looked at Lord Gu Chenxian in the sky, her face complex, her eyes darting away, looking guilty and worried.

In a sense, she had betrayed Lord Gu Chenxian!

Lord's kindness to her was as vast as a mountain; it was not an exaggeration to say he was her alternative faith.

Now, she had betrayed her own faith.

From this perspective, she felt a profound sense of guilt towards Lord Gu Chenxian.

But on the other hand, she loved Zhong Qing dearly.

Now, her former faith was coming to harm the man she loved most. It could be said that at this moment, her heart was truly in a chaotic mess, and she truly didn't know how to compose herself.

Every moment, every second she stayed here, was like being in purgatory, her body and mind suffering immense agony and torment.

As the Phoenix Feather Sect disciples bowed to Zhong Qing, it naturally drew Lord Gu Chenxian's attention.

Then, his confident and composed face couldn't help but freeze!

A huge question flashed through his mind.

How could Master be here?

How could Ye Ji be with Master?
