The voice of Ghost Mask echoed in the underground palace.
A series of glances gradually beca excited.
This is about to counter the norm. Now everyone thinks the Demon Sect will clash with Divine Feather Grand General and the Great Yan Imperial Court, but suddenly turning to attack the Wang Clan and the True Martial Sect will definitely catch them off guard.
"The Wang Clan in Qing State are the court’s running dogs. They must be heavily suppressed, otherwise those martial path sects will taste the sweetness, and in the future, they’ll all oppose our Holy Sect!"
"I’ll personally handle the Wang Clan."
Ghost Mask’s eyes were utterly cold.
This montum must be nipped in the bud.
Initially, the Demon Sect was hidden in the shadows, at a disadvantage. If other martial path sects still lean towards the court, then there’s no hope of changing days and nights.
"As for the True Martial Sect, although they were forced to participate in this affair, Elder Lin’s death has an inseparable connection with them. Elder Wang, we must trouble you this ti."
"In a few days, the court’s reward for the True Martial Sect should arrive. That’ll be the best ti to strike and kill those people altogether!"
Ghost Mask looked at a short-statured elder, who stood at the front, although respectful to Ghost Mask, he didn’t have the sa awe-filled fear as others.
"Subordinate accepts the order."
Elder Wang nodded calmly.
Although that True Man Tianjian’s sword severely injured Elder Lin, gaining great fa.
But they all knew that was because Elder Lin was already heavily injured by Divine Feather and Cyan Bull Blade Master, and chased by that Divine Feather for a whole day and night, finally being caught off guard by Tianjian’s sudden attack.
And Elder Wang’s strength is not inferior to Elder Lin.
With preparation this ti, even if he can’t kill True Man Tianjian, at least defeating him isn’t a problem, and the rest would make the True Martial Sect pay a heavy price.
All arranged, the eyes of everyone were now filled with eager killing intent.
Only one person.
Was restless inside, his heart felt like being gripped tightly by sothing.
The white-haired young man lowered his head, hiding his slightly pale face, preparing to leave with the others.
Ghost Mask’s voice suddenly rang out:
"Qin Yun, you don’t need to participate in this action. Stay and cultivate in the underground palace."
Everyone halted simultaneously, then looked at the white-haired young man with slightly strange eyes, so finally rembered, Qin Yun was originally the eighth true disciple of True Man Longshan from the True Martial Sect and joined the Holy Sect two years ago.
Now planning to assassinate the True Martial Sect, yet the Vice Sect Leader asked Qin Yun not to participate, clearly still not enough trust.
A few people showed mocking expressions, Qin Yun was talented and always valued by the Vice Sect Leader, rumors even said he was taught unparalleled secret technique and considered a Saint Heir candidate, but now it seed just re hearsay.
Qin Yun’s eyes paused, then raised his head again, his expression extrely calm:
"I will follow the Vice Sect Leader’s arrangents."
But within his heart, a faint anxiety erged.
Initially, he thought if he participated, perhaps through so channels, he could quietly leak the news to the True Martial Sect, allowing them to prepare in advance, but now, he could only hope that True Man Tianjian was strong enough.
Qin Yun’s figure disappeared in the underground palace.
He thought of his master, Taoist Longshan, thought of Senior Brother Luo Wentian, thought of Little Brother Ning Qi.
Finally.
He sighed softly in his heart.
...
Ti slowly passed.
Outside the Seeking Tao Institute, the True Martial Peach Tree had sprouted, more vibrant compared to previous years. The seeds of the Enlightennt Tea sown in the courtyard also showed a gradual increase in spiritual energy, but hadn’t broken through the ground.
Ning Qi waited silently.
Since visiting True Martial City, after learning that most of the court’s concealed experts had been withdrawn, Ning Qi beca secretly vigilant.
While cultivating, he would occasionally calmly perceive True Martial Mountain.
And so, a few days passed again.
True Martial Mountain welcod a group of special guests.
A group of people were calm in deanor, powerful in aura, with peaceful eyes but with an underlying pride. The leader and several others had smooth faces without beards, in the midst of the group were also a boy and a girl. The boy was about seven or eight years old, while the girl was slightly older, around ten years old, both with extraordinary bearing, clearly not from an ordinary family.
"So this is True Martial Mountain? Looks pretty nice." The boy comnted with hands behind his back, like a little adult.
The girl agreed:
"Brother Ling, look, this True Martial Mountain pierces the clouds like a Divine Sword, no wonder it can nurture such a powerful swordsman like True Man Tianjian."
The boy’s eyes lit up:
"Sister Qingyue speaks rightly. If you look closely, this mountain indeed resembles a Divine Sword flying in. Just wondering if True Man Tianjian is as powerful as rumored. I wonder if we can et him on this trip."
Both were sowhat expectant.
Regardless of boy or girl, both loved swordsmanship. After hearing about True Man Tianjian, they ca along together.
The leading Eunuch Ye chuckled and said:
"The Crown Prince and Princess may not know, but True Martial Mountain used to be called Divine Sword Mountain. Originally, it was a place of secluded cultivation for a man nad the Divine Sword Old Man. Later, he bet with True Man Longshan and lost Divine Sword Mountain to him."
"After that, True Man Longshan established a sect here and founded True Martial, thus changing Divine Sword Mountain’s na to True Martial Mountain."
"As for True Man Tianjian, he most likely ca along with True Man Longshan later."
The boy Li Ling quickly asked:
"Was the Divine Sword Old Man very powerful too? Why have I never heard of him?"
Eunuch Ye shook his head and smiled:
"The Divine Sword Old Man was rely in the Primordial Core Realm."
Both the boy and girl looked disappointed, and their impression of True Martial Mountain instantly diminished.
The Primordial Core Realm is indeed formidable, but to them, they’ve seen nurous strong ones in the Celestial Human Realm. Only those at the level of the Celestial Being List truly inspire their admiration.
"Eunuch Ye, do you think if I ask True Man Tianjian to co out, he would?" the girl, Li Qingyue, asked.
Eunuch Ye’s heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied:
"My Princess, once at the mountain, you mustn’t say such things again."
"True Man Tianjian is rumored to possess strength akin to that of the Celestial Being List, even Divine Feather Grand General couldn’t et him before. Such reclusive experts cannot be forced; if fate allows, you may et him. This visit is chiefly to comnd True Martial Sect for its rits in eradicating the Demon Sect, so please don’t act rashly."
Princess Li Qingyue nodded:
"Eunuch Ye, rest assured. I know, and Brother Ling and I are just here to try our luck, at most staying longer at the True Martial Sect, not interfering with your duties."
Eunuch Ye inwardly gave a bitter smile.
With his level in the Celestial Human Realm, he shouldn’t have had to co for this reward. The True Martial Sect hadn’t reached that level of prestige, but due to these two young nobles wanting to co, he was tasked with accompanying them.
Li Qingyue was a very favored princess, and Li Ling was the son of the illustrious Town North King, both of noble status.
He just hoped he could return quickly with his task completed, otherwise any mishap would be beyond his responsibility.
Eunuch Ye glanced at the distant but gradually visible figures on the mountain and imdiately said:
"Princess, Crown Prince, True Man Longshan and others have arrived."
Everyone instantly adopted a solemn deanor.
In the distance, Taoist Longshan’s loud laughter could be heard:
"All you angels coming from afar, what a test of endurance!"
He appeared more energetic than before; he had been in seclusion and hadn’t shown himself even when the True Profound Sect ca. But with the imperial court coming to give rewards, not showing himself wasn’t plausible.
Eunuch Ye also laughed heartily:
"True Man Longshan is too courteous; your sect’s rit in demon eradication is rightfully acknowledged."
Both sides exchanged polite remarks while carefully evaluating each other.
Seeing True Man Longshan and the aura of his true disciples behind him, Eunuch Ye nodded internally, thinking the rumors were true indeed, and True Martial Sect holds extraordinary potential. These individuals will likely be formidable figures in the future.
Li Qingyue and Li Ling focused on True Man Longshan for a mont before looking around curiously.
anwhile, Taoist Longshan was also secretly startled.
The leading eunuch’s aura wasn’t concealed, unmistakably in the Celestial Human Realm—but sending soone with such strength simply for awards seed excessive.
Then, his gaze fell on the boy and girl who were looking around, realizing sothing.
Eunuch Ye did not conceal, introducing the pair:
"This is Princess Qingyue, and this is the Crown Prince from the Town North King."
Taoist Longshan understood, and the disciples behind him imdiately perford ceremonial greetings.
"Greetings to Her Highness and His Highness."
Li Qingyue and Li Ling were not arrogant and returned the greetings. Their initial observations of True Martial Sect left a favorable impression.
The group entered the mountain gate.
Eunuch Ye gave a light cough and raised his voice:
"True Martial Sect, receive the imperial edict!"
Taoist Longshan’s expression beca solemn, slightly bowing in ceremonial salute, and the gathered disciples of True Martial Sect followed suit, albeit with more humble postures.
Eunuch Ye continued:
"By the mandate of His Majesty, True Martial Sect has excelled in demon eradication, setting an example for Taoism across the realm. An honorary jade plaque is bestowed upon the sect, and True Martial City is granted to the sect’s ownership. Additionally, a Blood Sun Ginseng is granted to True Man Longshan for his injuries in demon eradication!"
"By decree!"
Taoist Longshan was initially slightly surprised, but then his expression turned joyful.
The imperial court’s reward was unexpectedly generous.
"True Martial Sect thanks His Majesty’s grace!" Taoist Longshan led the group in expressing their gratitude.
