"Hong Wei, is he the lowly world inhabitant who injured you?"
The incident of Elder Hong Wei getting injured was known by almost all the elders in the Cang Lan Sword Sect. It occurred during the sect’s internal disciples’ trial assessnt that happens every few years, where a group of Cang Lan Sword Sect disciples used a spiritual treasure to enter the lower realm to carry out sect missions.
However, not long after, they sent a distress signal back to the sect, seemingly encountering a very critical situation.
To be honest, such things are quite common. After all, there are so top-tier cultivators in the lower realm, posing a significant threat to these sect disciples. Occasionally, if one is not careful, fatalities can occur.
To prevent too many disciples from falling, an elder is always assigned to monitor the trial world, ready to break through the two worlds’ barriers to rescue them as soon as they call for help.
Although top-tier cultivators from the lower world threaten the sect’s disciples, they pose no threat to the sect elders. The strongest among them is only in the Half-Step Sky-Breaking Realm, while the weakest Cang Lan Sword Sect elder is in the First Realm of the Heaven-breaking Realm.
Combined with the significant disparity in the Laws and energies between the two worlds, those top cultivators in the lower world are almost like ants before the elders, so it’s almost impossible for any accidents to occur.
Upon receiving the disciples’ call for help, Elder Hong acted imdiately, but he encountered the most absurd thing in his life—a young man from the lower world not only showed him no respect but dared to demand compensation for the damage his disciples caused.
What a joke! People from the Haotian Continent entering the lower world is already a favor to them. Since when have we ever offered them compensation? Moreover, the other party’s demand was half of the Cang Lan Sword Sect’s assets. If that’s not robbery, what is?
When he was about to handle the matter, the young man suddenly erupted with a force that shouldn’t even exist in that world, severely injuring him. If not for the separation by two worlds, he might have even faced the risk of dying!
The power traveling from the lower world to the higher world is greatly weakened when passing through the world’s barriers, but that force directly tore through the barriers. Even on the entire Haotian Continent, few could accomplish that.
Hong Wei barely managed to sever the connection between the two worlds and returned to the sect, but he was still severely injured, taking several months to sowhat recover. As for those disciples, they completely disappeared without a trace.
Since then, Hong Wei almost every night has nightmares, dreaming of the young man’s words: "Scoundrel, pay up!"
When the things from his dreams appeared in reality, it was undoubtedly another heavy blow to Hong Wei’s heart.
"Your Cang Lan Sword Sect really knows how to hide well. If it wasn’t for this recruitnt of new disciples, I wouldn’t have found you," Zhang nglong said with a smile. "Oh, by the way, besides seeking compensation this ti, I also ca entrusted by soone to ask about a person."
"Over a decade ago, when Cang Lan Sword Sect recruited disciples in Starry Night City, so scoundrel violated the City Lord’s wife. After being discovered, he even beca furious and killed to silence. I think you must know who this person is?"
"What? Cang Lan Sword Sect had people do such a thing?"
"I’ve heard a bit about this. It seed that the City Lord’s two children fortunately survived back then. They are the owners of the Starry Night Inn."
"This is simply outrageous! Does the sect not care about such things?"
"I never thought that the Cang Lan Sword Sect I admired was such a haven for filth!"
The recent conduct of Cang Lan Sword Sect indeed changed the perception of many justice-minded disciples.
"Who did this? Stand up and face justice before the Han family siblings!"
"Ridiculous! Is the Cang Lan Sword Sect a place for a True Martial Realm kid like you to ss around with? Even if our elders did sothing, the punishnt is decided by our sect. How can you say anything about it?" Jiang Qingshan, after so repose, had his spiritual power mostly restored.
"So you’re not planning to compensate, nor hand over the person?" Zhang nglong sneered at them.
"I don’t care who’s backing you, but if you’re causing trouble in my Cang Lan Sword Sect today, you won’t be leaving!"
They noticed countless Martial Arts Techniques on Zhang nglong, with levels absurdly high. If they could seize these from him, not only could Cang Lan Sword Sect regain its forr glory, it might even surpass those Holy Lands, becoming the strongest force on the entire Haotian Continent!
Although he encountered so surprises in Zhang nglong’s Sea of Consciousness, he didn’t think it was Zhang nglong’s power. It’s common for superpowerful individuals to leave a trace of their power on their juniors to protect them.
As long as they keep Zhang nglong here, no matter how powerful his elders are, it’s impossible for them to find this place. They have enough ti to grow secretly. Besides, didn’t Hong Wei ntion that he t this young man in a lower world earlier?
So, it seems he’s likely from a world even higher than the Haotian Continent. For higher worlds, finding a place like Haotian Continent among countless others is not easy!
"Hahaha, so you are the champion the bastard siblings found," laughed an elder from the Cang Lan Sword Sect, "Heroically saving the beauty is fine, but beware you don’t save them only to lose your own life!"
"Unexpectedly, although we didn’t obtain the Sword God legacy this ti, a more excellent prize ca to us—Cang Lan Sword Sect won’t refuse such a gift!"
"Alas, what a mishap!" Elder Yun Senhai sighed on the side. It was he who brought Zhang nglong to the Cang Lan Sword Sect. If he had known this would happen, he would have tried all ans to send Zhang nglong away.
But now, he could do nothing.
"Help! Murder and silencing! There’s no justice, no law!" Zhang nglong began to act again.
"Justice? Law? In the Iron Sword Empire, Cang Lan Sword Sect is the justice and the law!"
"Isn’t it too late to call for help now? Cang Lan Sword Sect is in an isolated world. Shout all you want, but outsiders won’t find you!"
"Shout! Shout!"
"Enough! Since you’re unwilling to hand it over yourself, don’t bla us for being ruthless," Jiang Qingshan lacked the courage to forcibly enter Zhang nglong’s Sea of Consciousness, but he could slowly torture him. As long as he feels pain, Cang Lan Sword Sect’s penalties could make him reveal all his ancestral secrets!
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
At this mont, a series of impact sounds suddenly ca from the space, as if a giant hamr was pounding on a door, giving a deep sense of unease.
"What’s going on? What’s happening?"
"Why do I feel the whole space is shaking?"
"Crack!" A crisp sound ca from the void, and suddenly, cobweb-like fine cracks appeared beside them, spreading out as if about to shatter like a glass pane at any mont.
"Soone is attacking the sect’s entrance!"
"Impossible! The sect’s mini-world was developed by a figure from the Sword God era. Even God-breaking Realm martial artists find it hard to shatter. How could it be cracking?"
"Sorry, everyone," Zhang nglong smiled calmly, "My backup has arrived!"
