CHAPTER 188: 187. JUST JOINED THE SECT, AND THE SECT IS ABOUT TO BE DESTROYED? (4/4)

"A fool who doesn’t know his place, just a mere Murong Chi, and he dares to meddle in the bounty for killing Wen Ping?" Wei Qianjue sneered coldly, continuing to hunch his back as he walked towards Fang Thousand Layers, the woman beside him supporting him more cautiously.

Although Murong Chi has been in the Profound Middle Realm for many years, he is still like a child in front of him.

Not to mention Murong Chi, even the entire Murong Clan, he doesn’t care at all. In any case, anyone who blocks his path today will die.

Saying he’s sitting there admiring the scenery, who would believe that?

As Wei Qianjue walked, he glanced again at the direction where Murong Chi had just been sitting, "It’s lucky you left quickly. Anyway, I’m planning to be the first, so I don’t mind killing you first."

The woman beside him was silent for a moment before finally speaking, "Grandfather, do you really plan to be the first to ascend Yunlan Mountain? Everyone else is still watching from the shadows, and the beast’s roar last night was no simple matter."

Wei Qianjue laughed, "Don’t be fooled by the gossip passed around by ordinary people. In their eyes, someone at the Body Refining Realm is already an unattainable existence. What do they know?"

In his view, what people said last night was that the Immortal Sect had driven away the Demon King.

Complete nonsense!

If there was such power to drive away the Demon King, would the Immortal Sect be in its current state?

From a Two-star Sect to now a Starless Sect.

Even if there is a Great Demon at the Profound Middle Realm on the mountain, even if it’s the Guardian Beast of the Immortal Sect, so what? For other cultivators at the Profound Middle Realm, a Great Demon might be an unbeatable existence.

But in his eyes, if one slash isn’t enough, then use two.

Regarding the other matter the woman worried about, Wei Qianjue continued, "They like watching from the shadows, let them watch. Once I’ve taken what I need, if anyone stops me, I’ll kill them. My ’Life-taking Lock’ hasn’t tasted Profound Middle Realm blood in quite some time."

...

On the other side, Murong Chi, who had been rebuked by Wei Qianjue, felt increasingly hesitant about returning to Cangwu City. He was somewhat reluctant to get involved in this matter.

But thinking of his favored disciple still at the Immortal Sect, he had found an inn near Yunlan Mountain for this very purpose, to protect Yang Xi. At this moment, Murong Chi decided to ascend Yunlan Mountain once again.

However, he rushed at top speed, hoping to take Yang Xi away before Luo Qianjue arrived at the Immortal Sect.

As he was about to ascend Yunlan Mountain, he coincidentally encountered Huan Cheng who was also going up the mountain. Huan Cheng recognized Murong Chi, having met him a few times before, and immediately recognized his face.

Murong Chi also recognized him.

Yet Huan Cheng was puzzled as to why Murong Chi was heading to the Immortal Sect, so he tentatively asked, "Murong Senior, I heard you’ve been in Cangwu City for a few days. You wouldn’t be here to make trouble for the Immortal Sect, would you?"

On hearing this, Murong Chi forced a difficult smile, "Mayor Huan, you’re joking. I would certainly hope to make trouble. Unfortunately, I’m here because of that little girl Yang Xi. Surely, Mayor Huan knows the current dangers in Cangwu City."

Huan Cheng nodded,

he believed Murong Chi wasn’t lying.

He seemed to have heard a bit about Yang Xi and Murong Chi’s matters.

"Senior, do you know which great figures from the Profound Middle Realm are in Cangwu City?" While asking, Huan Cheng hurried upwards. He had just remembered that his son was still on Yunlan Mountain, needing to bring him back.

However, what was originally a casual question led Murong Chi to suddenly show a stern expression, and he replied, "Mayor Huan, telling you doesn’t really matter much. By the way, Mayor Huan, why are you going up the mountain?"

"My son, he also joined the Immortal Sect, and due to changes in Cangwu City, I have to bring him back."

As they were speaking, they had nearly reached the top of Thousand Layers, just about to hurry up the stairs to find Huan Shan when Murong Chi said, "Mayor Huan, you might not have time to leave with your son."

Upon hearing Murong Chi’s words, Huan Cheng was initially stunned and then asked, "Senior, why not?"

Murong Chi responded, "Wei Qianjue from the Thousand Extremes Sect is already on his way, and will reach the mountain base in no more than a few dozen breaths."

"Wei Qianjue?"

Hearing this name, Huan Cheng’s expression changed drastically.

He repeatedly checked Murong Chi, considering he didn’t seem to be lying, and for a moment didn’t know what to say.

Luo Qianjue, as famous as the three Grand Chiefs in East Lake, was indeed one of the major figures targeting the Immortal Sect.

Astounded, Huan Cheng hurried his steps, closely followed by Murong Chi, and both arrived at the plaza in front of the Main Hall. However, upon ascending Yunlan Mountain, they ran head-on into Qin Shan and two others.

Qin Shan, planning to bring Lin Kewu to the Ten Layers Tower, suddenly saw Huan Cheng and Murong Chi, somewhat puzzled. But noticing their anxious expressions, Qin Shan quickly asked, "Murong Senior, Mayor Huan, are you looking for the Sect Leader?"

"Yes!"

"No!"

The two responded one after another.

Murong Chi, finding the situation unclear, quickly added, "Elder Qin, I have business with Sect Leader Wen."

Huan Cheng also spoke up, saying, "Elder Qin, I’m Huan Shan’s father."

Hearing their words, Qin Shan didn’t pay much attention, "If both of you are here to find someone, you should do it yourselves. I need to show the new disciples around the Immortal Sect."

Seeing this, Murong Chi hurriedly said, "Elder Qin, Wei Qianjue of the Thousand Extremes Sect is pointing ’his sword’ directly at the Immortal Sect, and is about to arrive. You still have the leisure to show the new disciples around the Immortal Sect?"

Wei Qianjue targeting the Immortal Sect?!

Hearing this, Qin Shan repeatedly scrutinized Murong Chi, much like Huancheng’s reaction, surprised and unbelieving.

Wei Qianjue, having no connection with Cangwu City, why would he suddenly target the Immortal Sect?

Immediately, he hurried to Thousand Layers, intensely observing below.

As Qin Shan focused, looking down using his eagle eyes, Wei Qianjue indeed appeared at the mountain base.

The hunchbacked old man’s silhouette, old and frail, looked no different than any ordinary elderly person. Yet in Qin Shan’s mind, it was profoundly memorable!

Witnessing this scene, Qin Shan’s expression froze, and he quickly ran towards the dormitory area.

He had just seen Wen Ping there earlier, covered in unexpectedly thick fog.

At present, standing in the plaza, Lin Kewu looked around a few times, not knowing what to say, as everyone around him suddenly vanished. He quickly asked, "Golden Eagle, what happened to them?"

Golden Eagle responded, "If I didn’t mishear or misperceive, apparently a particularly powerful Profound Middle Realm figure has come to challenge us. And throughout the Immortal Sect, as far as I can see, the strongest is at the Lower Profound Realm!"

Lin Kewu was taken aback and looked down the Thousand Layers step, muttering to himself, "No way, I’ve just joined the Sect, and it’s already about to be destroyed?"
