"I thought that the Heavenist sect must have some high-ranking masters. It turns out that there are only earth roosters and broken dogs here, pretending to sell their heads by placing a flag."
Shangguan Tianhong wore a long black and gold robe, his disheveled hair fluttering in the wind. With feet planted in emptiness and hands crossed over his chest, he looked down upon the crowd with pride.
A cold gaze flashed, and in an instant, all the high-ranking martial artists on the city walls felt a chilling pressure.
As if all the air had been drained away, even breathing became difficult.
Yun Chunqiu raised an eyebrow, her expression subtly changing. Amidst the tense standoff, she involuntarily stepped back a few steps.
This oppressive feeling caused her some unease, just as Zhang Long had said that the strength of the incoming person was very strong, and they, as these second-level experts, were not their opponent.
Thinking of this, Yun Chunqiu quickly withdrew from the city wall and hurriedly flew towards the imperial city.
Just as she entered the imperial city, a white figure, faster than Yun Chunqiu, descended hastily and ran towards a palace.
"Elder."
Yun Chunqiu spoke up, halting the person in front of her.
This person was also someone she knew; he was the guardian of the imperial city summoned by Chen Mo, the Supreme Elder Lin Fu of the Tianlong Dynasty, also known as Fu Ba.
At present, the imperial city is in a great crisis. All the second-level experts who have joined the Tian Moist sect are on the city walls, facing the mysterious expert. As the first group of experts sent to support Tian Moist, Fu Ba should be on the city walls at this moment.
And in the past several times, Fu Ba would always act like this, but this time, his actions seemed quite abnormal.
Fu Ba stopped in his tracks, looked back, and seeing Yun Chunqiu, he leisurely asked, "Young Miss Yun, do you have anything in particular for the old man?"
"Elder, there are high-level experts approaching, Mr. Zhang Long has sent me to find some experts to assist."
Yun Chunqiu hesitated for a moment, although she didn't explicitly state it, the implication in her words was clear.
However, Fu Ba showed no reaction upon hearing this. After merely uttering a casual 'oh', he hurriedly returned to a palace.
At the same time, he encountered the two women, Feng Banxia and Liu Ruyan, who were hurriedly emerging. They nodded at each other without uttering a word.
"Qiu, what happened? Why are all those second-level experts gone?"
Feng Banxia quickened her pace and asked curiously.
"There are high-level experts approaching, Mr. Zhang Long has sent me to find some experts to assist..."
"Mr. Zhang Long actually said that?"
Feng Banxia and Liu Ruyan exchanged a glance, their expressions revealing surprise. They were well aware of Zhang Long's strength, and for him to say something like that must mean the incoming expert was significantly stronger than the ones from the last time.
"Right, why did he go to help, yet..."
Yun Chunqiu furrowed her brow slightly, her face showing a hint of confusion.
Feng Banxia gently shook her head, "I don't know either. Lately, he's been acting mysterious, often going out. "
Feng Banxia only likes battles and doesn't care about other things. Her daily routine consists of constantly training herself to quickly breakthrough to the second level.
She happened to see Fu Ba coming and going frequently, often leaving the imperial city but didn't know what he was doing and didn't bother to ask.
On the other hand, Liu Ruyan, with her arms crossed and her brow slightly furrowed, "I've heard some things about the elder too. It's said that he's been going out frequently to search for rare herbs and treasure, presumably to break through to the first level..."
"First-level cultivation?"
Yun Chunqiu pondered for a moment, "If he can breakthrough to the first level now, that would be a good thing. At least, he could hold back that expert… Anyway, those things don't matter. Let's notify Zhongzhou first."
……
"Everything is over, it's all finished."
Small Beanlings and Zhao Hu lightly landed next to Chen Mo. After their statement, they fell silent.
Only to see that Chen Mo was squatting beside him at the moment, his eyes fixed on Miao Feiyu lying in a pool of blood, silent for a long time.
His eyes looked lifeless, and it was unclear what he was thinking at this moment.
Zhao Qingling's injuries had been healed, her complexion was somewhat pale, but her physical strength had recovered somewhat, and she could stand up. She worriedly looked at Chen Mo.
"Master, it's all because of my inability to be of any help. That's why Miao Feiyu…"
Zhao Qingling said with a sense of responsibility.
"I also have my own mistakes. One move was defeated by that guy. If it hadn't been for that, oh..."
Zuo Quan Sheng sighed heavily, looking at the cool, lifeless body on the ground, his eyes filled with regret.
Chen Mo gently shook his head, "This isn't your fault, Qingling. You're only a third-level expert, facing a second-level Qi Da Sheng, you could have done better than this."
"Big Brother Zuo, you don't need to blame yourself either. You've done what you should have."
"Perhaps, the death of Miao Feiyu was destined from the beginning."
As he spoke, Chen Mo raised his hand and looked at his wrist, his expression complex.
"Have all the Sky Punishment people been taken care of?"
Chen Mo changed the subject, and Small Beanlings nodded repeatedly.
"Let's go find some treasures in this Taiyanshan mountain. The Sky Punishment has been rampant in Miao State for years, so they must have obtained a lot of rare herbs and treasures. Just finding one of them would be beneficial to you."
Chen Mo's voice fell, and the Zuo siblings, Small Beanlings, and Zuo Quan Sheng did not move. Instead, it was Zuo Quan Sheng's disciples and friends who excitedly began to take action.
They had been imprisoned in the Sky Punishment for many days, during which they were constantly worried and endured immense torture. Naturally, they wanted to find some treasures to compensate for their losses.
Chen Mo looked at Zuo Quan Sheng and said, "Brother Zuo has now reached the fourth level, and if you can become stronger, it will also be beneficial to me in the future. Don't worry about my feelings, go ahead."
"Okay"
Zuo Quan Sheng did not waste any time and left in a hurry after hearing Chen Mo's words.
"Chen Master, we are late."
At this moment, a series of silhouettes appeared above Taiyanshan, blocking out the sun as they hurried over.
These were the twelve cave experts who had been summoned earlier by Small Beanlings.
"Chen Master, the remaining Sky Punishment remnants in Taiyanshan have been completely eradicated. From the inside to the outside, even if we dig three feet deep, there is no longer any trace of human life."
The cave master of the Yinyang Cave rushed forward, as if to show off his merit, and approached Small Beanlings.
Small Beanlings raised an eyebrow, adding a trace of coldness to his face. When they were in danger, these guys had been hiding on the periphery watching the show. Now that they have killed the experts, they come here with false humility—it's enough to be nauseating.
Small Beanlings had already developed a dislike for these people because they had teamed up against her earlier. If not for needing their help and considering that Chen Mo might be plotting something, she would have killed them right away. Instead, she had let them surrender.
However, Small Beanlings hadn't expected that these guys, despite their verbal submission, were inwardly unwilling and constantly trying to eliminate the Wan Duo Cave.
Small Beanlings' hands were tightly clenched, thinking of how to deal with these people. But just as she was about to speak, Chen Mo opened his mouth.
"Why did you surround and not attack as I commanded earlier?"
