The old beggar's true identity

“Sect affairs are handled by your Sect Master, why seek me?”

The Old Beggar’s focus was not on them.

Instead, it remained on Zhong Qing.

He had finally met a little brother so much to his liking, so he naturally couldn't stand by and do nothing if Zhong Qing was in danger.

However, if he were to save Zhong Qing himself,

His strength would probably no longer be hidden!

When the two of them became acquainted, he had always adopted an attitude of equal exchange.

If the other party knew some information about him, would this pure friendship be lost?

The next moment, the Old Beggar’s gaze instantly fell on the two fawning individuals beside him.

“Tiet Ta, Right Guardian Hushan!”

“Old Ancestor, are you willing to return to the Sect with us?”

With excited eyes, the two bowed again to the Old Beggar.

“Return to what Sect?”

“Does the Old Ancestor’s actions need guidance from you two?”

“We wouldn’t dare!”

The two responded with trepidation.

“Do not mention returning to the Sect again.”

“I have an important task to assign to you now.”

“Did you see the little brother who left me earlier?”

“Now I require you to secretly escort him back.”

“Deal with the two tails behind him cleanly, and you must not expose your own whereabouts or identities.”

“If my little brother loses even a single hair, I will flay you.”

Seeing their Old Ancestor’s serious expression, the two dared not be negligent.

Although they had a thousand words in their hearts, in the end, they only turned into a single: “Yes!”

As they spoke, their figures moved, already transforming into streaks of light and chasing after him.

The bright moon hung in the sky, countless stars twinkled, embedded in the heavens like diamonds.

In the mountain forest!

Zhong Qing crossed high mountains along the way, his eyes slightly moving.

“Quite patient!”

Ever since leaving the auction house, he had known that someone was following him.

Originally, he had intended to wait for them to jump out first, then casually slap them to death.

However, these two seemed to be much more patient than he had imagined.

Zhong Qing’s speed did not decrease, and his figure did not stop.

He wanted to see how long these two could endure.

At the same time!

Less than a mile behind Zhong Qing.

The brothers Heifeng and Yunsha were secretly conversing.

Heifeng was the Elder brother, Yunsha the younger.

The two were famous Loose Cultivators.

They had encountered an Opportunity from a young age and cultivated a Demonic Technique.

They possessed Great Perfection cultivation in the Moon Profound Realm, and had made quite a name for themselves throughout the entire Eastern Domain.

Yunsha’s eyes sparkled: “Big brother, there’s no one around here, it’s time to act!”

Heifeng said unhurriedly: “Wait a little longer!”

“Let’s see where this person settles down.”

“Someone who can buy dozens of top-grade Spirit Medicine in one go without batting an eye, I don’t believe he only has this much wealth.”

“It’s not too late for us to act once we’ve figured out his background and his assets!”

“Big brother’s consideration is always thorough!”

Heifeng smiled confidently.

“The path of cultivation is full of hardships!”

“It relies on being quick-witted, bold, and steady in action.”

“As long as these three points are achieved, in the future, looking at the entire Eastern Domain, there might not be a place for us among the top powerhouses.”

However, just as his voice fell,

A voice came from behind.

“You don’t have that chance anymore!”

“Who?”

The sudden voice made Heifeng and Yunsha tense up.

The next moment, the two figures of Tiet Ta and Right Guardian Hushan had already appeared in front of them.

Looking at the two who suddenly appeared,

Heifeng and Yunsha’s expressions changed drastically.

They cried out in alarm.

“The Left and Right Protectors of Fuyun Holy Land!”

For them, to have reached their current status, they naturally knew who could be provoked and who could not.

As powerful Demonic Cultivators, Heifeng and Yunsha had their own code of conduct.

People from third-rate Sects could be killed at will!

People from second-rate Sects could be selectively killed!

People from first-rate Sects should be killed discreetly!

As for people from Holy Land Sects, they should be avoided as far as possible.

Simply because any Elder or Peak Master from a Holy Land Sect was not someone they could afford to provoke.

“Two sirs, my brothers and I do not seem to have offended you, nor have we ever trespassed upon your esteemed Holy Land.”

“May I ask what your intentions are in stopping us, sirs? Is there some misunderstanding in this?”

Heifeng’s eyes darted around, and he said respectfully with a bowed body.

“There is no misunderstanding.”

“How dare you scheme against my Old Ancestor’s old friend? You deserve to be executed!”

The next moment, Tiet Ta and Right Guardian Hushan acted simultaneously.

“No… no!”

The combat power of the two sides was not on the same level at all.

Heifeng and Yunsha were greatly terrified.

At this moment, they regretted it to their very core.

They had originally thought they had caught a fat sheep tonight.

Who would have thought that the other party had such a terrifying background.

The two struggled desperately!

However, all of this was destined to be in vain.

“Boom!”

As two sounds came,

Heifeng and Yunsha were already falling from the sky like kites with broken strings.

Their eyes rolled back, and their breath was gone, clearly dead beyond dead.

If they had encountered an ordinary Sun Mystic Realm powerhouse,

Even if the two were no match, they would not have died so quickly.

However, the Left and Right Protectors of Fuyun Holy Land were among the top ten strongest existences even within the entire Holy Land Sect.

Their death was sealed the moment they were targeted by the two Grand Protectors.

The commotion here naturally attracted Zhong Qing’s attention in front.

Without looking, by virtue of his own spiritual sense, he perceived the deaths of Heifeng and Yunsha.

The ones who acted had a common origin of information with the Old Beggar.

Zhong Qing instantly understood the whole story.

Clearly, the Old Beggar had noticed someone following him and had specially sent people to protect him.

Although for Zhong Qing, this act was largely unnecessary,

He accepted the other party’s kind intention.

“Perhaps, I’ll have to find time to repay this favor another day.”

He mumbled to himself, his speed unchanged, his direction unchanged, his target still Mufu Peak.

Behind him, Tiet Ta and Right Guardian Hushan followed closely, only slowly retreating after seeing Zhong Qing enter the Immortal River Sect, descend on Mufu Peak, and enter his small courtyard.

Along the way,

Tiet Ta asked in confusion: “Right Guardian Hushan, you said, what qualifications does someone from a second-rate Sect have to be so highly regarded by the Old Ancestor, even to the point of sending us two to protect him?”

“The Old Ancestor acts entirely according to his mood. If I could know what he’s thinking, I would have persuaded him to return to the Sect long ago.”

While chatting, the two returned, arriving at the north of Ling City.

They reported to their Old Ancestor: “Old Ancestor, we have successfully escorted the target to the Immortal River Sect.”

“Immortal River Sect?”

The Old Beggar’s mind stirred.

Then he said as if nothing had happened: “You did very well this time. When you return to the Sect, the Old Ancestor will surely reward you handsomely.”

“Now, you two should go back first. The Old Ancestor needs to rest.”

“Old Ancestor, aren’t you coming back with us?”

Tiet Ta asked anxiously.

However, when he looked up, there was no trace of the Old Beggar anymore.
