Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation

Although the Jiuyang Sect was much weaker than Qingyun Sect, Jiuyang Sect was rather popular in the Eastern Region. Even a Primal Spirit cultivator would not dare to trespass into Jiuyang Sect. After all, the Jiuyang Sect had more than 1,000 years of history and possessed an ancient formation that protected the sect’s estate. There was also a group of highly-skilled and experienced elders.

However, Mu Shuiyun was not just any cultivator. Not only did she have a high cultivation base, but her background was special as well. Moreover, she no longer cared about anything else but avenging her son at this moment. Hence, how could she be afraid of the Jiuyang Sect?

Upon hearing Mu Shuiyun’s threat, the Sect Master laughed in anger. “Mu Shuiyun, if anyone’s colluding with the devil sect, it’d be you!”

“So is that a no?” Mu Shuiyun asked frostily, The Dao sword in her hand burst forth with light.

“Get lost!” the Sect Master barked.

“You asked for this!” Mu Shuiyun hissed. She raised her sword and launched a powerful strike at the Sect Master.

The Sect Master lifted his hand, summoning a cauldron in front of him to block the attack. Alas, he and the cauldron were sent flying back.

Hao Chen, the First Seat of Shaoyang Peak, felt his killing intent surged. Along with the other First Seats, he charged at Mu Shuiyun.

Unfortunately, as powerful as the seven First Seats were, they were no match for Mu Shuiyun.

Mu Shuiyun brandished her sword with her right hand while she conjured the Heaven Suppression Divine Seal with her left hand, sending the seven First Seats flying.

All of the First Seats had blood at the corners of their lips except for Hao Chen. Among the First Seats, he suffered the least damage from the strike.

Mu Shuiyun was too strong. She was once the Holy Daughter of Qingyun Sect, after all. Regardless of her cultivation base and special abilities, she still had a certain advantage over those from the Jiuyang Sect.

When the Sect Master was about to draw power from his body to activate the Formation again, a formidable energy burst forth from Taiyang Peak. Following that, a figure appeared in front of Mu Shuiyun.

The newcomer raised his hand and cast a Formation, sending Mu Shuiyun flying.

“Old Man Huo? You’re still alive?!” Mu Shuiyun exclaimed in shock and disbelief.

“Scram!” the newcomer, an old man, barked. His eyebrows and beard that were fiery red were a match for his fiery temper. He pointed at Mu Shuiyun as he roared, “I’m not going to repeat myself. Get lost or I’ll kill you today! I want to see if Qingyun Sect will avenge your death once they know what you’ve done!”

Mu Shuiyun scoffed coldly. “Old man, do you think you can kill me? You overestimated yourself too much!”

“Is that so?” The old man mobilized his Primal Spirit, and the nine peaks began to shake. A beam of divine light shot out from each peak into the sky, merging with the Formation before turning into nine suns. At the same time, a terrifying energy surged out his body, boosting the strength of the Formation tremendously.

The old man sneered. “What do you think? I’ve lived for a long time, and I have no qualms dragging you to hell with me.”

“How dare you!”

“Little girl, you might not care about your dignity, but what do you think the Qingyun Sect is the same as you? Now, get lost!”

“Very good! I won’t forget about this, Jiuyang Sect!” Mu Shuiyun said through gritted teeth. Then, she turned around and left when she saw how determined the old man was.

After Mu Shuiyun left, the nine suns vanished from sight. Then, the old man turned around and swept his eyes across the crowd before he said with a sigh, “This is a world that belongs to the strong. It’s unfortunate, but we can only grow stronger and stronger by devouring the weak. For example, if the devil sects are powerful enough to rule over everyone, they’d become the rule. Little Yan, you need to grow stronger. Otherwise, the future of Jiuyang Sect will be at stake.”

“Master!” Yan Yan, the Sect Master, called out as his expression changed slightly.

“Don’t worry. I still have quite a few years left in me,” the old man said as he waved his hand.

The Sect Master and the others bowed as the old man flew back.

…

On Chuyang Peak.

Gu Hai looked in the old man’s direction and bowed as well.

Jiang Ming was silent. He was overwhelmed with the urge to sneak out and kill Mu Shuiyun. However, he knew it was not wise to do that. After all, if Mu Shuiyun died so soon after leaving Jiuyang Sect, the sect will definitely be implicated somehow. Moreover, Mu Lei and Ge Changqing had also died not long after they left Jiuyang Sect.

‘Just you wait, Mu Shuiyun,’ Jiang Ming thought to himself as he suppressed the urge to leave. Then, he looked at Gu Hai and asked, “Master, who’s that old man?”

“He’s the founder of the sect,” Gu Hai explained, “In the past, he was known as Hua Daoren. He’s Jiuyang Sect’s trump card.”

Jiang Ming nodded. Inwardly, he called up the Human Path Records.

Name: Huo Daoren

Gender: Male

Cultivation base: Primal Spirit Realm.

Background: Founder of Jiuyang Sect.

Relationship: 60

Innate Talent: Nine stars (Flaming Sun Body)

Status: His time’s almost up so he’s been sleeping in a coffin. He was woken up earlier when he sensed a strong burst of energy. When he realized the sect was facing a powerful enemy, he risked losing his life force and made a move. After scaring off the enemy, he returned to his sleep after sealing himself in the forbidden land.

‘His time’s almost up?’ Jiang Ming sighed inwardly.

When he saw the relationship value at 60, he knew it was because he was a disciple of Jiuyang Sect.

The Flaming Sun Body was special and ordinary at the same time.

Jiang Ming sighed as mixed feelings brewed in his heart. Just an elder from Qingyun Sect was enough to throw Jiuyang Sect into chaos. He and the sect still had a long road ahead of them.

“Master, is it that place?” Jiang Ming pointed to the only undisturbed place in the sect. It was none other than the forbidden land.

In the past, Gu Hai had refused to speak about that place to his disciples. This time, he nodded. Then, he said, “It’s also the formation of the sect.”

Gu Hai paused briefly before he asked, “What did both of you learn from this incident?”

Zi Linglong replied, “Power is everything. As long as you’re strong enough, you can do whatever you want. We need to grow stronger to protect our sect!”

Then, Jiang Ming added, “She’s only an elder of Qingyun Sect, but she alone is enough to throw the sect into chaos. Moreover, even if we complain to Qingyun Sect, it’s likely they won’t do anything to her.”

Gu Hai nodded. “Very good. Linglong, although this isn’t your fault, we can’t deny that it’s related to you. Don’t worry. The sect has no intention of abandoning you. Keep this in mind: cultivate diligently so you’ll grow strong enough to protect our sect!”

“Of course! This is my home after all!” Linglong said as she pointed at the ground beneath her feet.

After a moment, Gu Hai left his two disciples alone.

“I was worried they would hand you over to Mu Shuiyun,” Jiang Ming said, “After all, she’s not only a Primal Spirit cultivator, but she’s also from the Qingyun Sect.”

“What if the sect decides to abandon me?” Zi Linglong asked in a low voice.

“I’ll take you away. Then, I’ll find a chance to kill her!” Jiang Ming replied without any hesitation.

“You’re the best, Senior Brother!” Linglong exclaimed as she hugged his arm. She was smiling so widely that her eyes were narrowed.

…

In Taiyang Peak’s main hall.

The atmosphere was gloomy

The First Seats were gathered, but they were all silent.

After a while, the Sect Master took the lead to say, “I have three things to announce. First, I’ll be sending a letter to Qingyun Sect, demanding an explanation for Mu Shuiyun’s actions. Second, recall all our disciples who have yet to return to the mountain. Then, we’ll close the sect. Forget about the devil sects for now. Third, I’ll be going into seclusion to break through to the Primal Spirit Realm.”

‘Qingyun Sect! You may be the Sacred Land of the Eastern Region, a place where all cultivators aspire to join. However, I won’t let you have your way!’

…

In a mountain range.

A divine light illuminated the sky and the ground. Every peak in the mountain range was connected to one another by rainbow bridges. Various divine beasts flew in the sky from time to time. Apart from that, many palatial buildings were erected on the mountain range.

Jiuyang Sect truly looked shabby compared to this place.

At this moment, a tear appeared in the void before two people walked out from it. One was a burly old man with a head of silver hair holding a huge hammer in his hand. The other person was a young man with an androgynous appearance. He was wearing the Sun God Robe.

The duo was so powerful that as soon as they appeared their immense auras suppressed the law of void.

The old man lifted his hammer and wordlessly brought it down. With that, the void shattered, and the clouds within 10,000 miles were blown away.

The formation of Qingyun Sect automatically erected a barrier as soon as the old man brought this hammer down.

Light burst forth in many places across Qingyun Sect as various laws appeared around it.

Boom!

The hammer fell again, shaking the sky and the ground.

The barrier creaked as though it could no longer withstand the attack.

At this moment, another old man appeared. He lifted his hand to block another attack before he roared, “Old Tie, why are you attacking Qingyun Sect! Do you want a war?”

“That’s right! I came to wage a war, you son of a b*tch!” Old Tie replied.. Then, he flung his hammer out at the old man. At the same time, he shouted, “Qing Xuzi, you killed the Holy Son of the Infinite Alchemy Pavilion so I came here today to destroy your sect!”
