Return to the Sect, the Intruders

Now.

Venerable Huangchuan's face was ashen.

He never imagined that he would be defeated by someone so young.

Furthermore, he possessed the Lunar Eclipse Plaque, which his ancestors had painstakingly sought.

It was so utterly vulnerable before the treasure of the person opposite.

He felt a pang of regret.

If it weren't for greed, wanting to possess that fishing rod...

Perhaps, this wouldn't have happened.

"Young friend... I have realized my mistake. I will return the fishing rod to you, and I can also give you the Lunar Eclipse Plaque. I only ask that you spare my life, and I promise to repay you in the future!"

Venerable Huangchuan lay prostrate on the ground.

He begged for mercy repeatedly.

Because his protective Essence Power had dissipated, he was currently in the core area of the Sun and Moon Divine Pool.

It has already been infected by a deadly poison.

A bluish-purple tinge had already appeared on his face.

If he hadn't still possessed the body of Martial Venerable, he probably wouldn't have been able to withstand this deadly poison long ago.

Chen Ning listened to what Venerable Huangchuan said.

After a moment's thought, he said, "But if I kill you, won't this Lunar Eclipse Plaque still be mine? Why would I needlessly create another threat? Don't you think so, old man..."

That brings us to this.

Venerable Huangchuan felt utterly desolate.

This young man is not only incredibly strong, but also has such shrewd experience in the martial arts world.

That didn't work.

Chen Ning didn't want to waste any more time, and finished off Venerable Huangchuan with a single Sword Intent.

Chen Ning never showed any mercy to those who wanted to kill him.

Regardless of Venerable Huangchuan.

Or perhaps it was a hidden elder within the sect.

They're all already on the death list.

And the results this time were quite good.

Not only did he advance to the Venerable Martial Realm.

They also obtained two treasures.

Solar Eclipse Plaque and Lunar Eclipse Plaque.

Another fragment of the Heaven-Slaying Sword has been found.

We are one step closer to the complete repair of the Heaven-Slaying Sword.

And then there's the Sun and Moon Divine Pool, a resource repository!

Although I have obtained the two best treasures here.

But besides that, there are many other things that are valuable.

Even if Chen Ning himself doesn't need it.

It can still be provided to the Black Dragon Clan and sect disciples.

If Bai Qingluo of the Desolate Province were to participate in the power struggles of the secular world in the future...

It also requires resource guarantees.

In summary

This was a good deal!

Without lingering, Chen Ning rode his Broad Feather back to Vermilion Bird Peak.

He has now been promoted to One-Star Martial Venerable.

I felt a little more at ease.

However, the Supreme Elder was a powerful figure of the same generation as the former sect leader.

He can be considered the strongest person in the entire Dragon-Seeking Sect right now.

There is still no way to resolve this hidden danger.

However, there's no need to be too anxious.

After the Azure Cloud Rite, everything remained calm. It was unclear whether the Supreme Elder had gone into seclusion again or was simply being cautious.

But since the other party didn't make a move.

Chen Ning still has time to develop.

"Sect Leader Brother, you've sneaked out to play again without taking Ling'er with you! Humph!"

The little girl saw Chen Ning returning from afar.

She let out a slightly disgruntled snort.

"Ling'er, the place my sect leader is going to is quite dangerous, and it's not suitable for him to take you with him, but how could I forget Ling'er? Here, take this."

Chen Ning took out the Lunar Eclipse Plaque.

He handed it to Su Ling'er.

This item was coveted by so many people; it is a rare treasure.

It is High-Grade Spirit Artifact.

Treasures of this caliber are rare even today.

The treasures that the Yama Holy Sect sent as apology were only Mid-Grade Spirit Artifact.

That already cost them a lot of money.

High-Grade Spirit Artifact can already be considered a treasure of the sect.

Very few remain in existence.

As for Top-Grade Spirit Artifact, if they were in the mortal world...

This will inevitably attract the envy of all forces.

Not to mention the three Divine Artifacts that Chen Ning possesses.

If it weren't for the behemoth that Dragon-Seeking Sect was behind Chen Ning...

These three Divine Artifacts had long been the target of attacks, with people willing to pay any price to seize them.

Su Ling'er is definitely one of our own, so giving her the Lunar Eclipse Plaque will also increase her strength.

The little girl, having seen countless treasures, naturally recognized that this Lunar Eclipse Plaque was no ordinary object.

"Thank you, Sect Leader. Then I'll give the Broad Feather to you."

Chen Ning shook his head with a wry smile.

That's really generous.

He gifted himself a flying Law Artifact.

However, speaking of which...

Su Ling'er, however, surpassed her teacher.

The Thief God only roamed the land of Spirit Province.

Stealing things from secular dynasties.

As for sects above the second tier, they have no chance of entering.

The name "Thief God" is also something to be used for amusement in the mundane world.

He was hailed as Thief God.

In reality, if the Thief God were in the cultivation world, he would be utterly insignificant.

He's already fallen behind his own granddaughter.

In contrast, the little girl...

That would make it stand out.

Not only has his cultivation reached the Earth Martial Realm Third Heaven. (I made a mistake before; it wasn't the first level, it was the third.)

The stolen items were all heavenly materials and earthly treasures, magical Law Artifact, and the like.

They even visited the mysterious Dwarf Realm.

They stole all of the Dwarf King's treasured possessions that he had kept for many years.

They also visited the ancient Wind Shadow Sect in Spirit Province, but what they brought back remains unknown.

But I've heard...

The little girl lent him the Broad Feather Flying Law Artifact.

I got it from the Wind Shadow Sect.

"By the way, where's Xiaoxiao?"

The two women were very close, but at this moment only Su Ling'er came out to greet him.

"Xiaoxiao has gone to lead the disciples of Vermilion Bird Peak to capture the infiltrators."

Su Ling'er's beautiful eyes fell on the Lunar Eclipse Plaque, carefully examining its patterns.

The crescent moon mark is particularly beautiful.

"Infiltrator?"

Chen Ning was slightly taken aback.

"Hmm... some martial artists have infiltrated the Peach Blossom Spring Mountain Range, and we don't know their purpose. Since Little Sister Xiaoxiao was itching to investigate, we had her lead a team to investigate."

Su Ling'er stored the Lunar Eclipse Plaque into her spatial Law Artifact.

Then she naturally took Chen Ning's arm.

"Sect Leader Brother, Ling'er is fetching you water for a bath!"

"There's no rush, but I'm a little worried about Xiaoxiao leading the investigation," Chen Ning said slowly.

"Don't worry, Xiaoxiao's Supreme Demon Bone is very powerful, at the Spirit Martial Realm level, no one can beat her."

Su Ling'er smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"I'm not worried about her, I'm worried that Xiaoxiao is too reckless and might wipe out the infiltrators without investigating the situation properly."

This is the situation that's giving Chen Ning a real headache.

"It's alright, Sect Leader. Having Lu Ping with us will only keep things somewhat in check."

"Hmm, Lu Ping is generally reliable in handling matters."

Chen Ning understood.

He then returned to his room.

At the same time.

Within the Peach Blossom Spring Mountain Range.

Ling Xiaoxiao stomped on someone's kneecap, shattering it, and demanded, "Are you going to talk or not?"

"Ahhh!!"

The man was deathly pale and in great pain.

Lu Ping and his fellow disciples stood by, not daring to disturb Ling Xiaoxiao's interrogation.

Even after meeting the other person, they still wouldn't say anything.

Ling Xiaoxiao blinked her starry eyes and kicked down again.

Will you tell or not?

The man was in so much pain that he was sweating profusely, tears streaming down his face. He said, "Just ask me! You don't ask me anything, you just keep asking if I'll talk or not. How am I supposed to know what to say?"
