Primordial Sacred Skill

"Chief, this man deliberately murdered two hall masters and carried out a bloody slaughter in Flying Eagle Hall. If he is not severely punished, he will only bring even greater disaster. This subordinate requests that Jiang Dao be severely punished!"

The Left Guardian spoke coldly from the side.

"I already said that his merits offset his faults. Does the Left Guardian still have objections?"

Fang Tianba turned to look at the Left Guardian.

The Left Guardian immediately cupped his fists. "This subordinate would not dare!"

Fang Tianba looked at Jiang Dao again and said calmly, "Hall Master Jiang, you are young, high-spirited, and possess the sharp edge of youth. That is understandable. But I do not wish to hear of you continuing these bloody massacres. I hope you will conduct yourself properly!"

"Yes, Chief!"

Jiang Dao cupped his fists again, his heart darkening to the extreme.

He had thought Fang Tianba was a true hero of his generation!

But now, he realized he had completely misjudged him.

This man favored the Left Guardian to such an outrageous extent...

"Enough. Let this matter end here."

Fang Tianba spoke.

"Wait, Chief. This subordinate has one more matter."

Jiang Dao suddenly spoke.

"Speak!"

"The people who accompanied me also rendered meritorious service this time. This subordinate promised to seek rewards for them, but their hall masters are dead, and they have nowhere to go. This subordinate is willing to take them into Flying Eagle Hall and reward them. I ask the Chief to grant permission!"

Jiang Dao said with cupped fists.

"And you still claim you did not buy them off?"

The Left Guardian sneered from the side.

"Granted!"

Fang Tianba replied, then rose and departed.

The Left Guardian swept Jiang Dao with another cold glance, flicked his sleeve, and left.

Jiang Dao gave him a deep look as well, killing intent permeating the air, before turning and leaving.

The rear hall of headquarters.

Fang Tianba stood smiling inside a pavilion, taking fish food and scattering it below.

"Chief, today's move was indeed brilliant."

The Right Guardian, short and fat, wearing a watermelon cap, walked over from afar with a smile on his face.

"What was brilliant about it?"

Fang Tianba smiled.

"First, it successfully tested Jiang Dao's strength and courage. Second, by deliberately favoring the Left Guardian, you planted dissatisfaction in Jiang Dao's heart and deepened his hatred for the Left Guardian. After today, these two are bound to be like fire and water, with no possibility of reconciliation."

The Right Guardian smiled.

"I had long expected the Left Guardian to send people against Jiang Dao. But no matter what, I never expected Jiang Dao to kill two hall masters so easily, especially while suffering from a virulent poison. Such strength is astonishing. Yet what astonishes me even more is his courage. He roared in the main hall without the slightest fear. Once he grows, he will surely become unimaginable!"

Fang Tianba said with emotion.

"Indeed. He is an enormous threat. If he can treat the Left Guardian this way, he may treat the Chief this way in the future. It would be best to let him and the Left Guardian perish together."

The Right Guardian said gravely.

Fang Tianba immediately narrowed his eyes and slowly nodded.

"By the way, Chief, there is another matter. We have just received word that a sect in the Central Plains of the Great Ye Dynasty has been wiped out. Its internal cultivation manual has leaked out and may be drifting toward the Qianyuan City region."

The Right Guardian suddenly said in a low voice.

"Hm? Is this news true?"

Fang Tianba's eyes flashed as he looked at the Right Guardian.

"There is an eighty percent chance that it is true. The Left Guardian learned of this news long ago as well, but he showed no intention of mentioning it today. He has most likely already secretly sent people to search for it."

The Right Guardian said.

"Which sect was destroyed?"

Fang Tianba asked.

"Qiankun Sect of the Central Plains. The manual that leaked out is the Primordial Sacred Skill!"

The Right Guardian said solemnly.

"Primordial Sacred Skill!"

Fang Tianba's gaze sharpened. "A cultivation manual on par with our Blazing Flame Sect's Blazing Sun Divine Skill. Immediately arrange personnel and find this internal cultivation manual at any cost!"

"Yes, Chief!"

The Right Guardian said with cupped fists.

The Blazing Flame Sect only possessed two internal cultivation manuals in total, and one of them was incomplete. It could be said that whenever any cultivation manual emerged, it would stir up bloody winds and foul rains across the martial world, drawing every sect and gang into the turmoil.

A spacious courtyard.

The light was dim.

The Left Guardian, Guo Linyu, wore a gloomy expression as he raised his hand and smashed a stone table apart. Stone fragments flew everywhere, palm force whistled through the air, and the ground itself hissed as though melting, bubbling and giving off threads of foul stench.

"A bunch of trash!"

His tone was icy. He suddenly raised his head to look at the person before him and asked, "Have you investigated the situation with Qiankun Sect?"

"Reporting to the Left Guardian, it has already been investigated. Qiankun Sect's destruction was related to a bizarre force. They seemed to have offended that bizarre force, which controlled Malevolent Spirits to take revenge. The sect was exterminated overnight. After Qiankun Sect was destroyed, only a young girl and an old servant escaped. However, the old servant encountered an attack from other martial world figures midway and died a miserable death. The young girl mysteriously vanished. At present, the only one who should know of the Primordial Sacred Skill is that young girl!"

The person before him said with cupped fists.

"Have you found the young girl's trail?"

The Left Guardian asked.

"We are investigating. It is certain that farmers nearby have seen the young girl. She is most likely near Qianyuan City. People from other gangs have already begun searching the surrounding area!"

That person said.

"Dig three feet into the ground if you must, but find her. We absolutely cannot let Fang Tianba find her first!"

The Left Guardian said in a low voice.

"Yes, Protector!"

The man cupped both fists and departed again.

The Left Guardian looked at the debris covering the ground, poisonous gas permeating the air, his eyes dark and terrifying.

If he could obtain the Primordial Sacred Skill, he would possess two different kinds of internal power, orthodox and unorthodox alike. At that point, even Fang Tianba could forget about being his match!

That was right!

He already possessed a peerless internal cultivation skill, except it was an unorthodox one containing intense poison. Once his palm force struck out, even refined iron could melt along with it.

Within the Blazing Flame Sect, aside from a handful of his confidants, no one knew that he possessed this internal cultivation skill.

However, whenever he thought of Qiankun Sect being wiped out overnight, the back of the Left Guardian's neck went cold and fear rose within him.

Those bizarre creatures were far too terrifying.

They were simply not something martial artists like them could defeat.

Even if one trained martial arts to the absolute peak, one could only barely deal with fierce monsters or Malevolent Spirits of the Strength Grade.

Against higher Destruction Grade entities, it would be completely useless. Even breaking through their defenses would be an extravagant hope.

If Qiankun Sect could be exterminated overnight by those bizarre creatures, then the Blazing Flame Sect could suffer the same fate...

"Nonhuman creatures, nonhuman creatures..."

The Left Guardian sighed inwardly, feeling weighed down.

Inside Flying Eagle Hall.

Jiang Dao returned all the way back.

Everyone in the entire hall came out to greet him.

"Hall Master, how did it go? Can this subordinate come over directly?"

Du Feng asked uneasily.

"I have brought all of you over. From now on, work under my Flying Eagle Hall. I will not treat you poorly!"

Jiang Dao casually patted Du Feng on the shoulder.

"Thank you, Hall Master!"

Du Feng and the others all dropped to their knees, speaking excitedly.

"Mhm. Where is that young girl?"

Jiang Dao asked casually.

"Reporting to the Hall Master, she has already been taken away for the maidservants to bathe and change her clothes."

Guo Dutian said with cupped fists from the side.

Jiang Dao nodded lightly and walked toward his room.

The strength category had reached 4.3. He only needed another 0.2 to completely reach the limit of strength.

Now that nothing was happening, it was the perfect time to raise that remaining 0.2 as well.

Once he completely reached the limit of strength, he could go crush the Left Guardian to death overnight, sparing himself from further schemes.

"I wonder whether Iron Shirt and the Indestructible Golden Bell Divine Skill can be fused?"

Jiang Dao pondered.

He prepared to give it a try.

If they could be fused successfully, the strength category would definitely reach its limit completely. Even without cultivating internal power, he could be considered an unmatched supreme expert among humans.

Night deepened.

Qianyuan City remained brightly lit and exceptionally bustling.

Under Flying Eagle Hall's jurisdiction.

Liufeng Wharf.

The laborers who had toiled all day had already fallen into deep sleep.

The sound of flowing water rustled on. The river breeze was refreshing, while moonlight was kneaded by the water into shattered scraps and drifted with the wind.

"Hee hee hee..."

Bursts of bizarre laughter echoed through the night.

A white figure appeared there, slender pale bare feet slowly stepping onto the ground. Her laughter was bewitching, her body hazy. "The one who killed Wu Lai is nearby. Where should I begin killing?"

Her gaze was strange and enchanting as she swept it across the surroundings, giggling. Then, her snow-white palm lightly clapped.

Five spirit children appeared behind her, their mouths split wide, their eyes pitch-black and hollow, carrying faintly eerie smiles.

"Go together. Do not spare any martial artists nearby. Hee hee hee..."

The white figure laughed.

The five spirit children wore strange smiles and immediately sprang into action.
