Xu Zii suddenly rembered that when he had learned the Heaven-shaking Skill before, he had promised Emperor Qitian to deliver the token of the Heaven-shaking Divine thods back to the Qitian Sect.
"Have you ever heard of a force called the Qitian Sect?" Xu Zii asked again.
"Qitian, that's quite a bold na," Lin Yunhen slightly shook his head.
"If it's a minor force, I can't guarantee anything.
But for major forces, there are definitely none in the Mortal Domain."
"It seems you're quite knowledgeable," Xu Zii responded.
"Of course, claiming to have read extensively wouldn't be an exaggeration," Lin Yunhen said with self-satisfaction.
"Otherwise, I wouldn't have contended for the position of Crown Prince."
Xu Zii turned around, his gaze level.
After the appearance of the Prison Suppressor Demon Body, he finally perceived a faint force.
So faint that it could not be fainter.
As if it were the sound of a heartbeat.
"Thump thump thump," his own heart started beating in unison.
"Found it," Xu Zii's eyes, which had been tightly shut, suddenly flew open. He looked ahead of the core disciples as if he pierced through boundless voids.
Resting at the distant end of the void.
The image of a pitch-black heart flashed before his eyes.
"Let's go," he said indifferently.
"Should we plan a bit before heading to the core?" Lin Yunhen inquired.
"No need," Xu Zii waved his hand, "Let's just go and see who dares to stop us."
With a sweep of his right hand, his robe billowed in the wind.
He leisurely walked towards the core.
As soon as he stepped in, he felt countless gazes fall upon him.
Lin Yunhen and Xia Wanqing instantly felt the pressure increase trendously.
The two quietly hid behind Xu Zii.
Xu Zii ignored them and walked straight toward the direction he had sensed.
He felt his heartbeat getting faster and faster.
As if it was about to burst out of his chest.
"Who are you?" a blue-robed young man blocked their path and asked with a frown.
Xu Zii still ignored him and continued walking forward.
His figure leapt past the blue-robed young man.
"Stop, you better explain yourselves, or don't bla for being rude," the blue-robed youth, Zhang Qichong, shouted sternly.
A man passing by gently patted the longsword at his waist.
He laughed and said, "Zhang Qichong, it seems they don't respect you."
The blue-robed youth, Zhang Qichong, turned his head and glared fiercely at the man who had made the taunt.
He then swung his right hand, and endless strength began to converge in his palm.
A vigor enveloped his body as the sound of an explosion resonated under his feet. His figure turned into a lingering shadow, charging straight towards Xu Zii.
The force in his palm shattered the surrounding void.
Xu Zii turned calmly and looked at him.
rely this glance, his pitch-black eyes swirling with Demonic Qi, seed as if the Circulation Stars were moving.
A glance of a thousand years.
Zhang Qichong's figure, less than a ter away from Xu Zii, froze in place.
The next mont, he directly collapsed on the ground.
He was drenched in sweat, as if he had been fished out of the water, and if one were to look closely, they would realize his eyes had lost focus.
"What's wrong with you?" The young man who had joked previously, Wang Wei, changed color and looked towards Zhang Qichong.
However, Zhang Qichong had no response, simply kneeling on the spot, immobile.
Wang Wei swallowed hard.
With trembling hands, he took out his own identity token.
The token was crushed, and a golden light rose to the sky, turning into stars and blossoming across the Firmant.
"Soone is invading the Taoist Court," he shouted loudly.
...…
At this mont, atop the Holy Peak of the Qianniu Taoist Court.
Many Core Elders and Sect Leader Dongfang Li were all gathered here.
And beside the Holy Peak, another group of people stood.
"It would be ideal if the You Bone Taoist Court could join our alliance," Dongfang Li said with a chuckle.
"We dominate the West, and you suppress the East.
By then, our chances of winning will be at least thirty percent or more."
"Sect Leader Dongfang is too kind," among the group from the You Bone Taoist Court, the leader was a woman.
She was dressed in a black gown, resembling a black rose blooming in the night.
Graceful and yet possessed an air of celestial spirit.
"The Qianniu may be considered Dominators of the West, but we dare not claim the sa for the East, as East and West differ," she replied.
"Then perhaps you can consider my proposition, Lady Yu," Dongfang Li said with an implicit smile.
"I've heard that the old Sect Master intends to step down, with the intention of advocating for Lady Yu to succeed.
Perhaps our Qianniu Taoist Court could be of so assistance."
"Thank you for Sect Leader Dongfang's concern, but the old Sect Master is far-sighted and surely has his own plans.
We should not speculate wildly," You Yu replied with a shake of her head and a light smile.
Just then, a golden light suddenly rose from the horizon.
The scope of the light was imnsely broad, visible not only to them, but also to all disciples of the Qianniu Taoist Court.
"What's happening?" Dongfang Li asked with a frown.
"That is a Core Disciple's Rescue Token," explained the Great Elder standing beside him.
Every Core Disciple represented a major asset for the Taoist Court, they were its future.
Therefore, to protect them, the Taoist Court issued each one a Rescue Token.
"Of course, I know it's a Rescue Token," said Dongfang Li indifferently.
"What I'm asking is why the Rescue Token was activated within the Taoist Court itself?
Could it be that soone dared to commit murder within our Taoist Court?"
"I'll go and investigate imdiately," the Great Elder quickly responded.
At that mont, You Yu, who was standing by, suddenly said with a smile: "Sect Leader Dongfang, why don't we go together?
We have been here at the Taoist Court for so ti and have not had the opportunity to properly tour the place.
Just as we are leaving soon, it would be a good chance for us to witness the grandeur of the Qianniu Taoist Court."
"Yes, yes," the others from the You Bone Taoist Court followed, nodding their heads.
Dongfang Li was silent for a short while, then finally he smiled.
"Since Lady Yu is interested, then let us go together," he said.
The group of over twenty people rose into the air, flying towards the core area.
...
Until Xu Zii and the others disappeared from sight, Wang Wei did not dare to step forward to stop them.
He hurriedly ran up to support Zhang Qichong, who was still kneeling on the ground.
He inquired, "Are you alright?"
"Terrifying, truly terrifying," Zhang Qichong just kept shaking his head.
"Wang Wei," from above their heads, ca the vast voice of the Great Elder.
Wang Wei looked up, as if seeing a savior, and saw all the high-ranking officials of the Sect Gate in the Firmant.
"Elder, soone has intruded into the core area," Wang Wei quickly reported.
"This is the Qianniu Taoist Court; could it possibly be turned upside down?" the Great Elder reprimanded.
"What kind of example are you setting in such a panicked state?
You're making us a laughing stock in front of others."
"This disciple acknowledges his fault," Wang Wei quickly lowered his head.
"Who intruded into the Taoist Court?" only then did Sect Leader Dongfang ask.
"I do not know; there were three in total," Wang Wei quickly replied.
"However, the other two seed weak; only one person was beyond my insight.
Disciple Qichong went to intercept, resulting in his current state."
"Where have they gone?" Dongfang Li asked.
"Towards the Taoist Source Land," Wang Wei replied.
