"Celestial Extre Cave? Suspected Heir of Moon King?!" As Yan Shenjun finished speaking.
Celestial Extre Cave was fine, but when the Thousand Stone Sect Leader heard the term ’Heir of Moon King,’ his tone noticeably fluctuated.
His initial calm and laziness transford into slight suspicion.
"Are you sure it’s the Chasing the Sun level of Golden Toad Skill?"
"I’m sure, but given the gravity of the matter, Sect Leader might want to send people multiple tis to verify." Yan Shenjun replied earnestly.
"I’ll send people again regarding this. As for that Great Dao Teaching expert, you can first observe and wait. Once everything is confird..." The Thousand Stone Sect Leader paused.
"If he truly is the Heir, we must go all out to support him. Of course, the premise is that he has indeed cultivated the Golden Toad Skill to the Chasing the Sun realm."
"Understood." Yan Shenjun nodded. "Then, Sect Leader, should we notify the other thirteen sects?"
The Sensing Sect’s branches are vast, with nurous experts scattered across the entire Great Spirit.
So had long surrendered to the officials, so had secluded themselves for legacy, and others collaborated with the secret sect.
The Thousand Stone Sect belonged to the original Sensing Sect, within the scope of the five lands and thirteen sects.
It was one of the thirteen sects.
Near the Thousand Stone Sect, there were two other sects from the thirteen sects also in the shadows, always trying to restore the forr glory of the holy sect.
That’s why Yan Shenjun asked if they should be inford.
"King Yan and Yan Xi have already placed their bets ahead of ti, we are already falling behind significantly. Let’s wait for the truth to be confird, then discuss." The Thousand Stone Sect Leader said solemnly.
Actually, their main focus was whether the Golden Toad Skill had really reached the Chasing the Sun level.
As for whether that person was truly a direct apprentice of Moon King, that was secondary.
Because even if not an apprentice, such talent and realm, whether he was or wasn’t, was already unimportant.
If he was, that’s best; if not, he could still beco one.

Early June.
Another incident of fleet piracy was discovered at Cituogang Port.
This ti when official ships arrived, only shipwrecks remained on the sea.
The pirates not only looted but also demolished the rchant ships, leaving no survivors.
Although such piracy incidents were not nurous, they had already affected Cituogang Port’s normal trade due to their proximity to the coast.
Linlang Association and Hundred rchants Association, the two major forces tead up, dispatched guardian ships searching everywhere but still found nothing.
Combining previous rchant ship looting cases, this matter once again pointed toward Agarwood Palace.
After waiting for a long ti without any response, Linlang Association again dispatched experts to Agarwood Palace, intent on demanding an explanation.
At this ti the sky just dawned.
Under Agarwood Mountain.
A team of five stocky, dual-blade and spear-carrying Linlang Association experts, stood at the foot of the mountain with somber expressions.
The leader was bald with piercing small eyes, the only one among them carrying excess fat.
This person was none other than Zhao Sunyi, the most loyal under Linlang Association leader Zhou Xue Ming.
This ti, he personally led the team to investigate and question, because of the previous incident.
"Previously, when Iron Sand led the team here, they were intercepted and killed midway... Tsk tsk... This close to the sea, and still unable to find out who did it, that’s interesting."
Now the Hundred rchants Association’s goods have also been looted, and all signs point to Agarwood Palace.
At this ti, anyone could see there’s an issue.
But Agarwood Palace has yet to step forward with an explanation.
"Let’s go." He was first to walk ahead, followed by the four quickly, alert to their surroundings at all tis.
Only when they reached the stone steps of Agarwood Palace, they were blocked by several Great Spirit officials.
"Halt!"
"Charge in! Today I want to see what kind of dragon’s den Agarwood Palace truly is."
In the absence of any clues, confronting those from Agarwood Palace face-to-face was the best way to investigate.
Zhao Sunyi’s expression remained unchanged, maintaining his original speed as he charged inside.
Linlang Association’s heir was dead, even their goods were robbed, losing credibility greatly.
If no action was taken, even business on Linlang Island would be affected.
That’s why he’s here.
Their muscles tensed, ready to force their way in.
As long as no lives were lost, Linlang Association had ways to exonerate them.
But before Zhao Sunyi could react, suddenly a troop was seen quickly arriving sideways.
"Who dares trespass Agarwood Palace!!" A loud shout spread.
Several figures appeared suddenly before Zhao Sunyi’s group as if like phantoms.
Among them, one was wearing armor and helt, holding a curved blade, commanding an imposing presence—Shangguan Lianyue!
"I received spiritual transmission from Huo Province’s Great Dao Teaching palace, and ca specially from provincial military headquarters to guard." Shangguan Lianyue’s face was shrouded in a dark bronze pointed helt, obscuring his expression.
But his physique was far more imposing than ordinary martial n, just standing on the steps, exuding an overwhelming threat.
Zhao Sunyi’s pupils shrunk, his step froze.
"Sir Shangguan, we only wish to find the master of Agarwood Palace for face-to-face questioning to understand the truth. Is it wise for you to intercept us?"
Before coming, he thought Shangguan Lianyue’s reputation was re bluff, worthless trash.
But upon confrontation, he felt sothing amiss.
Such pressure couldn’t possibly co from re bluff, he was evidently a fierce tiger!
"Questioning??" Shangguan Lianyue laughed. "Question what?? Linlang Association itself is a group of trash pirates, with countless enemies at sea, robbed and they ought to accept the gamble, now running here to complain, what’s the aning?"
"Sir, we...." Just as Zhao Sunyi began, suddenly his breath stilled.
A flash of blade light burst before his eyes.
The blade light was like lightning, lightning fast, like a sudden flash of white in the forest.
Too fast for him to react.
An External dicine Super Grade, although Zhao Sunyi climbed by flattering Zhou Xue Ming, his martial prowess was considerable.
Yet at that very mont, he... didn’t react at all.
Splatter!
In an instant, a head flew high.
"Kill them for ! A bunch of pathetic pirates dare to provoke Agarwood Palace! They are simply courting death!" Shangguan Lianyue shouted.
A squad of officers cooperated with military experts to join the attack.
The few people Zhao Sunyi brought along managed to run just a few steps before being pierced by random arrows, pinning them to the ground.
There were no spiritual guards, nor spiritual veins.
Except for the Great Spirit Spirit Court and other major forces, other factions had very few spirit guards and spiritual veins.
And they’re usually kept as trump cards.
They would never deploy them casually like the Sensing Sect or Thousand Teachings Alliance.
Within a brief ten seconds, Zhao Sunyi and the four experts he brought were all lying in a pool of blood.
A cold glint flashed under Shangguan Lianyue’s helt.
He picked up Zhao Sunyi’s head, skewered it with a knife, and raised it high.
Then he faced everyone watching the spectacle from the mountainside.
"Listen to clearly!"
His voice was loud, sweeping across the crowd.
"I don’t care what nonsensical reasons you might have, if anyone dares to cause trouble at Agarwood Palace again, you’re asking for trouble with ! You’re asking to die!"
"Whether it’s ships hijacked, cargo robbed, or people killed, none of them are my concern.
If you have problems, go to the authorities! Anyone who dares to ss around with baseless accusations...
Bang.
He slamd the head on the knife onto the ground.
"Will end up like this head!"
The onlookers were startled as the head rolled close, causing a slight cry and retreating several steps.
Shangguan Lianyue snorted coldly.
He couldn’t care less about the ssy affairs, since his orders from above were to protect Agarwood Palace; he didn’t care about anything else.
However, his actions inadvertently blocked the Hundred rchants Association and Linlang Association’s path of confrontation.
Originally, in Cituogang Port, there was only suspicion about Agarwood Palace, but after he stepped forward.
Gradually, people started to truly believe that perhaps all of this was indeed Agarwood Palace acting behind the scenes.
So believed that even if it wasn’t the work of Agarwood Palace at this mont, seeing Shangguan Lianyue defending without discerning the facts made it clear that Agarwood Palace must be involved sohow.
Perhaps playing a role they couldn’t disclose.

Under the cliff at Celestial Extre Cave.
Zhang Rongfang’s expression was calm, instructing Ding Luo on the key techniques of practicing the Scattered Soul Finger.
He recorded each Qi and blood flow node observed and found a pattern within them.
This entire pattern represented a new direction never explored by martial artists in this world.
Using external forces to disrupt Qi and blood circulation and vein operations.
Achieving different intended effects through this ans.
Zhang Rongfang nad this system Fate Point Martial Arts.
While teaching Ding Luo, another major advantage of the dark light vision beca evident.
That is, whenever Ding Luo showed incorrect movents or strength, Zhang Rongfang could imdiately identify them and offer reminders, guidance, and corrections.
In this way, Ding Luo’s progress far surpassed that of ordinary martial artists.
From the start, he did not stray even slightly in the wrong direction.
The sunshine was bright at this mont.
Zhang Rongfang watched Ding Luo as he practiced the Scattered Soul Finger moves.
In the breeze of the forest, Ding Luo’s maneuvers still retained remnants of previous martial arts thods.
But the force at his fingertips was gradually taking shape.
It was estimated that in two months, he would be able to truly get on track and forget so bad habits from previous martial arts practice.
"Return Finger!"
"Flying Flower Finger!"
"Piercing Finger!"
Each finger technique slashed through the air, vaguely showing so power.
Pfft.
Ding Luo finally struck heavily on a large tree before him.
The bark splintered, and his fingertip also beca red and swollen.
"Your speed is still too slow, you need to quicken your body technique. Otherwise, even if your finger techniques are strong, if you can’t hit others, or if your force is slightly off, you’ll trap yourself in a perilous situation," Zhang Rongfang instructed in a deep voice.
"Yes." Ding Luo nodded.
Zhang Rongfang nodded, intending to say sothing further.
Suddenly, his expression changed, and he looked towards the right.
There was a slight movent fleeting by.
"Stay here, I’ll go take a look."
Before he finished speaking, his figure flickered, and in the blink of an eye, he headed towards the source of the movent.
In the woods, he and a figure ahead moved swiftly, one before the other.
Not long after.
The figure ahead slowly decelerated, stopping by a tree hollow, and turned to look at him.
This person was surprisingly Yan Shenjun, the protector from the Thousand Stone Sect, whom he’d clashed with last ti!
"I am Yan Shenjun, protector of the Thousand Stone Sect. I’ve been observing you for so ti," Yan Shenjun said, looking at Zhang Rongfang gravely.
"For so long, I haven’t discovered any additional guardian expert with you. Daoist Zhang Ying, could you trouble the expert from Celestial Extre Cave last ti to co out?"
He had co here at night before and didn’t see clearly what the opponent looked like who engaged with him.
Of course, even if he had seen clearly, it wouldn’t help since Zhang Rongfang was wearing a human skin mask at that ti.
Therefore, on this second mission to check the situation, he was sowhat baffled.
After prowling the vicinity of Celestial Extre Cave for a while, he hadn’t found the expert he’d faced last ti.
Thus, having no other option, he decided to show himself and bring Zhang Rongfang forth to inquire.
"The person you dueled with last ti?" Zhang Rongfang felt a stirring inside, imdiately understanding what the other ant.
