Lin Chenyu followed and stood behind Han Qiu, staring at the departing Zhang Tiangui, a cold killing intent appearing in his eyes as he said, “Senior Sister Han, if we don’t kill Zhang Tiangui now, there will be no end to the troubles that will come later.”
A hint of struggle appeared in Han Qiu’s eyes before he finally sighed, “I understand! But after all, Zhang Tiangui is the eldest senior brother of the Yuntai Sect House, and he hasn’t done anything detrimental to the sect. If I were to kill him, it would be unkind and unjust.”
“At least waste his cultivation and break his meridians ……,” Lin Chenyu said.
“There’s no need to say anymore, let him go! After all, he was once a part of the Yuntai Zongfu, once our senior brother.” Han Chu said.
A disappointed look appeared in Lin Chenyu’s eyes, and in his heart, he said, “Women are women, too indecisive! However, although Han Chu could not lay his hands on him, the Patriarch was a very tactful person and would definitely not let the tiger return to the mountain. I’m afraid that it won’t be an easy task for Zhang Tiangui to leave the Yuntai Sect House.”
When Zhang Tiangui left the Yuntai Zongfu, he immediately unfolded his fastest stance and travelled between the dense forests, wanting to leave the Heavenly Demon Ridge as soon as possible.
“Lin Chenyu, how dare you betray me, wait and see, when I return to the Yunwu County Kingdom, I will definitely exterminate your entire Lin Family.”
Zhang Tian Gui’s heart was extremely hateful, originally, with his talent, he could marry Han Qiu in the future, and even become the future master of the Yuntai Zongfu.
Even the Patriarch had promised him that as long as he reached the Fish Dragon Realm, he would betroth Han Qiu to him, and would also pass on the position of Patriarch to Han Qiu.
Han Chu would be the Patriarch and he would be the Vice Patriarch.
Han Li intends for him to help Han Chu and bring the Yuntai clan house to great heights.
However, because of a Zhang Ruochen, because of a Lin Chenyu, he had to leave the Yuntai Clan House, never having the chance to become a Vice Clan Master in the future, and never having the chance to cultivate the Supreme Sacred Qiankun Sect.
Right now, he was like a bereaved dog.
The sky was so big, where should he go?
“Swish!”
In the forest, there was a subtle sound of wind.
“What kind of person?”
Zhang Tiangui’s alertness was extremely high, immediately stopping his steps and looking into the forest.
However, apart from trees, withered vines, moss, and rocks, there was nothing to be seen.
He seemed to sense something and immediately turned around.
Only to see, behind him, a pale, white-bearded old man who looked to be in his eighties appeared.
The white-bearded old man’s figure was dry and thin, with a withered shape, standing in the forest like a dry corpse. His pair of arms were like eagle claws, with ten sharp nails, each of which was like a sharp blade.
Zhang Tiangui knew this old man, it was the old servant who had been following Han Li around, named Han Jingzhong, a martial arts expert with unfathomable cultivation.
“So it’s Uncle Zhong, I knew that Patriarch wouldn’t let me leave alive.” Zhang Tiangui’s hands clenched tightly as his entire body’s true qi mobilised.
Without any hesitation, Zhang Tiangui grabbed the lead and took the initiative to attack, punching Han Jingzhong’s chest and abdomen.
“Fierce tiger descends.”
As his fist struck out, true qi formed a circle of ripples on Zhang Tiangui’s wrist, resounding with a sound like a tiger’s roar.
“Roar!”
Zhang Tian Gui’s talent was extremely high, as he threw out a punch with full force, the power was so dominant that the surrounding trees made a “clattering” sound, dropping a piece of leaf.
Han Jingzhong stood in place like a withered pine, a fierce ghost-like smile on his face as he gently raised his dry palm.
A seemingly slow palm, but it drew a bizarre trace in the void.
“Snap!”
His palm struck on top of Zhang Tiangui’s punched fist, and his five fingers closed, very easily grabbing Zhang Tiangui’s fist, his nails sinking directly into Zhang Tiangui’s flesh and blood.
With a twist of his arm.
Only heard a “click” sound, Zhang Tian Gui’s arm was twisted off by him, his body rotated 360 degrees in mid-air and flew out.
“Boom!”
Zhang Tian Gui landed on the ground, kneeling on one knee, feeling the intense pain coming from his arm, his facial muscles were cramping.
“Kid, you think you are invincible just because you think you are the first genius of the Heavenly Demon Ridge? In the eyes of the old man, you are still too young!”
Han Jingzhong’s voice was hoarse as he let out a sinister laugh.
Zhang Tiangui’s legs were one in front of the other, like a fierce tiger crouching on the ground, his eyes staring at Han Jingzhong with a deep, cold stare, waiting for Han Jingzhong’s next, even more violent attack.
However, out of his expectation, Han Jingzhong didn’t continue to strike, but instead said slowly, “Zhang Tiangui, do you know why the Patriarch can’t tolerate you and must get rid of you?”
“Just because I have a bad character?” Zhang Tiangui said.
Han Jingzhong laughed, “In the martial arts world, the weak are the strong, and it’s all about the means, how many people’s character is truly upright?”
“Then what is the reason?” Zhang Tiangui said.
Han Jingzhong said, “Have you heard of ‘one mountain cannot accommodate two tigers’? In the past, your natural talent was far superior to Han Chu’s, so the patriarch naturally couldn’t wait to betroth Han Chu to you and keep you in the Yuntai Clan House. In this way, the strength of the Yuntai clan house could be strengthened. But now it’s different, Han Chu has broken through the fourth floor of the Nine Extremities Tower, and his talent is as strong as yours. If the two are as strong as each other, who will be the master of the Yuntai clan house in the future?”
Zhang Tian Gui said, “If two people are equally strong, neither will submit to anyone. In the future, Han Chu and I will have a battle, either I die or Han Chu dies, there is no third possibility. Therefore, the patriarch chose to get rid of me to preserve his daughter. Cripes!”
“Uncle Zhong, since the Patriarch sent you to kill me, why haven’t you done it yet?”
Han Jingzhong smiled coldly, “If I wanted to kill you, you would have died during the first move! Zhang Tiangui, you’re a talented person, as well as someone with means and ambition, I’m quite optimistic about you.”
“What do you mean?” Zhang Tiangui said in disbelief.
Han Jingzhong waved his hand and turned around, saying, “The Yuntai Zongfu can’t accommodate you, and the Yunwu County Kingdom can’t accommodate you either, so you only have one way out, and that’s to follow Old Husband. Old me will take you to see someone, perhaps he can help you.”
Zhang Tiangui endured the pain coming from his arm and looked at Han Jingzhong’s hunched figure as he asked, “Who exactly are you?”
“Just go with the old man, what’s the point of talking so much nonsense?” Han Jingzhong said in a cold voice.
Zhang Tiangui simply had no choice but to follow.
The Heavenly Demon Ridge, so vast that it was like a sea of forests, was dotted with fast-flowing rivers, wide lakes, and a sky-high cloud peak.
Shuttling through the forest, one would lose their way if they were not careful.
Han Jingzhong led Zhang Tiangui, and he didn’t know how far he had travelled, but he came to a military camp built in the middle of a dense jungle, and from afar, he could hear the roars of savage beasts and the sounds of the army’s drills.
Han Jingzhong stood on the branch of a dry ancient tree, his body as light as a feather, with his hands behind his back, he glanced into the distance and said, “Up ahead is the barracks of the Barbarian Elephant Army of the Sifang County Kingdom, and it’s also the training base of the most powerful army of the Sifang County Kingdom.”
Zhang Tiangui said, “Hasn’t the Four Directions County Kingdom been sanctioned and ceased to exist?”
Han Jingzhong smiled coldly and said, “The royal family of the Four Directions County Kingdom, with experts like the clouds, and more than twenty Tianji Realm martial artists alone, had already withdrawn and hid in this training base hidden in the Heavenly Demon Ridge before the sanctioning paperwork was sent down from the Eastern Domain Sacred King’s Palace. You should be well aware that they and you all share a common enemy, Zhang Ruochen.”
Zhang Tiangui said, “You’re from the Sifang County Kingdom?”
“Sifang County Kingdom? Lol! Those people from the royal family of the Four Directions County Kingdom are just like you, nothing more than bereaved dogs.” Han Jingzhong gave a disdainful laugh.
Suddenly, a cold wind blew.
“Swish!”
A red light, flashing in the void, travelled through the dense forest of trees, seemingly flying past a slender and delicate silhouette.
Zhang Tiangui’s eyes shrunk as he drank, “What kind of person?”
Suddenly, in the void, aura stirred, forming a circle of aura ripples. At the centre of those ripples, a slender red hand stretched out, its five fingers soft and long, emitting strands of red mist.
“Wow!”
That one red hand presented hundreds of phantoms that simultaneously attacked Zhang Tianwei.
Han Jingzhong’s toes stomped on a withered branch and immediately rushed over, standing in front of Zhang Tiangui’s body as he struck out with both hands at the same time.
“Boom!”
A pair of palms that resembled eagle claws were covered in a layer of metallic luster, forming a vast sheet of palm force.
Han Jingzhong made hundreds of hand seals in a row, like forming a wall of palm seals.
“Boom boom!”
In a flash of lightning, Han Jingzhong exchanged hundreds of moves with the owner of that one red hand.
Suddenly, Han Jingzhong’s chest took a slap and flew backwards, his body crashing into the top of a huge rock, cracking it into a gap.
Right at this moment, a demonic woman in red clothes flew down from the sky, with long, slender legs, a concave and convex jade body, long hair as red as blood, and a charming and attractive face.
Her entire body flowed with red evil light, and when her feet landed on the ground, even the dirt on the ground turned crimson.
Upon seeing that one red-robed woman, Han Jingzhong immediately fell to his knees and said in horror, “Greetings to the Red Desire Star Envoy.”
Han Jingzhong glared at Zhang Tianwei and made a colour.
Feeling the terrifying aura emanating from that one red-robed woman, Zhang Tiangui’s heart chilled, and he too immediately knelt on the ground, his face almost about to be buried in the ground.
“Han Jingzhong, why did you bring an outsider here, have you forgotten the rules of the Young Lord?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy’s voice was very seductive, seeming to carry a smile and a chill.
Han Jingzhong said in awe, “My subordinate doesn’t dare to forget the young lord’s rules, only that this person in front of me is a talented person that my subordinate wants to introduce to the young lord.”
“Talent?”
The Red Desire Star Envoy carefully sized up Zhang Tiangui for a moment and laughed, “Han Jingzhong, you should understand that the Black Market One Piece Hall is never short of talent.”
“Ta-da!”
In the forest, a handsome man wearing a purple robe walked out slowly.
On his back, he carried a long spear with a dragon’s head, and his face was ice-cold as he said, “Red Desire, Han Jingzhong, the meeting has already begun, and the Young Lord has asked me to bring you there.”
“Greetings to the Purple Wind Star Envoy.”
Han Jingzhong bowed to that one purple-robed man before standing up.
Zhang Tiangui’s heart was very curious as to how so many supreme experts had suddenly emerged from the Sky Demon Ridge.
Just one Han Jingzhong was a Avray hidden old monster, and it was estimated that even Han Li, the Patriarch of the Yuntai Sect Mansion, didn’t know his true strength.
And what about that one demoness in red and the man in purple? And the young master they mentioned, what was he?
The martial cultivation of the two of them seemed to be even more powerful than Han Jingzhong.
Zhang Tianwei’s heart was filled with doubts.
At the same time, he was excited, perhaps by following these people, his future achievements would be even higher, why worry about surpassing Zhang Ruochen? Why worry about not being able to overthrow the Yuntai Sect House?
