Peace of Mind

The pond water was emerald green and clear, and the Masked Man's hand went into it.

Several Black Fish immediately swam towards the Masked Man, seemingly believing that the Masked Man was the one who fed them.

The Masked Man grabbed a fish with one hand, it was incredibly slippery and viscous.

The fish lay quietly, without struggling.

The Masked Man suddenly smiled, "I still won't eat fish."

With a wave of his hand, a stream of water leaped up, and the fish in his hand entered the stream.

The Masked Man looked at the Black Fish, "Quickly tell your mother that you are about to set sail."

He put the Black Fish into a bamboo tube and fastened it to his waist.

He looked at the corpse on the ground, a strange light flashing in his eyes, "Should I loot the corpse?"

Zheng Jianghe was dressed in black, close-fitting attire, his expression extremely gloomy.

"The people from the Black Mountain Sect are staying at the Chen Residence?"

The Golden Light Hall's enforcement disciple nodded, the anger in his eyes seeming to turn into substance, ready to burst forth.

"Yes!"

Zheng Jianghe clenched the Yin Wood Pearl in his hand, crushing it directly.

"The Black Mountain Sect is going too far!"

Just half a month ago, Chu Tianxiong bloodbathed the Chen Residence.

The family was originally celebrating a joyous occasion, they should have been happy, but dozens of people were brutally murdered overnight, and even the bride went to the Yellow Springs.

At that time, when Zheng Jianghe arrived at the Chen Residence, he saw a purgatory-like scene.

At that time, the bride's father, covered in dust, rushed to the Chen Residence and kept kowtowing and kneeling before him.

He could not forget the scene of the gray-haired old man kneeling before him.

Especially, after Chu Tianxiong left, that stubborn father took his wife and knelt outside the Shinguang Sect's mountain gate for more than ten days.

Zheng Jianghe remembered it vividly.

And now, Chu Tianxiong chose to stay at the Chen Residence, what was he thinking?

"Let's go, follow me to the Chen Residence!" Zheng Jianghe gritted his teeth.

Originally, he wanted to call some people to keep watch outside the Chen Residence, to prevent Chu Tianxiong from doing evil again, but after thinking about it, he decided to go himself.

A group of people, taking advantage of the night, rushed towards the Chen Residence.

Their faces were not very good, with a solemn expression.

Because they knew that they could do nothing about Chu Tianxiong and other Black Mountain Sect disciples.

It was like this last time, and it is like this this time.

"Smell of blood!" Suddenly, Zheng Jianghe stopped. He sniffed hard and cast a spell to amplify his sense of smell. The smell of blood became even stronger.

The source of the bloody smell was from the Chen Residence ahead, the place where Chu Tianxiong and other Black Mountain Sect disciples were.

Worry arose in Zheng Jianghe's eyes.

Could it be that the Black Mountain Sect disciples were causing another massacre in Rong City?

"Hurry!"

The group quickly sped up and rushed towards the Chen Residence.

At this moment, the creaking sound of the gate opening rang out, and a white-robed Masked Man wearing a strange mask walked out of the Chen Residence.

Zheng Jianghe's heart skipped a beat. He looked at the Masked Man, feeling wary.

A member of the Black Mountain Sect?

No, that's not it!

The disciples of the Black Mountain Sect all had a faint bloody smell on them.

But this Masked Man didn't.

How did he come out of the Chen Residence?

Where are the disciples of the Black Mountain Sect?

"Senior..." Zheng Jianghe hesitated for a moment, finally speaking, "There are many disciples of the Black Mountain Sect in the Chen Residence. Senior, please be careful. The disciples of the Black Mountain Sect have always been fierce."

Although the other party might be familiar with the Black Mountain Sect, he still reminded him to avoid any accidents.

Qi Yuan naturally recognized Zheng Jianghe when he saw him.

His voice was hoarse: "The people from the Black Mountain Sect are quite well-behaved. I wanted to eat fish, so they specially opened the door to let me in to catch fish."

Zheng Jianghe was stunned.

The other Shinguang Sect disciples were also surprised, somewhat confused.

"My wife is about to give birth, I have to go." After Qi Yuan finished speaking, he ran away in a puff of smoke.

Leaving Zheng Jianghe and the others in a mess in the night.

But soon, Zheng Jianghe turned his attention to the gate of the Chen Residence.

The closer he got, the stronger the smell of blood.

He stepped forward.

Knock knock!

The sound of knocking on the door echoed in the silent night, appearing particularly deep.

But inside the Chen Residence, it was quiet, without any response.

Zheng Jianghe and the others exchanged glances, a terrifying thought arising in his heart.

He suppressed the excitement in his heart.

He and the others exchanged glances, then raised their feet and kicked hard.

The gate opened in response.

Everyone looked over and gasped.

In the courtyard of the Chen Residence, there were more than a dozen corpses laid out.

Zheng Jianghe saw a head, it was Chu Tianxiong's head!

"Chicken Worshipping Ancestor, that's Chicken Worshipping Ancestor!" A Shinguang Sect disciple shouted, trembling.

Zheng Jianghe looked over and saw that the previously imposing Chicken Worshipping Ancestor had been cut in half at the waist, his eyes wide, revealing an expression of disbelief.

This was a Core Formation Perfected Being who had formed a Golden Core!

And he died just like that!

Zheng Jianghe suddenly laughed loudly, saying "good" three times in a row!

He remembered the strange Masked Man he had briefly met.

Could it be... that he was the one who killed them!

Although he already had some guesses in his heart, he was still extremely shocked when he actually saw it.

However, Zheng Jianghe quickly restrained his emotions.

He knew that this matter was very big, and the consequences were extremely serious.

The Black Mountain Sect was not strong, with only a few Core Formation Perfected Beings, but behind the Black Mountain Sect was the Black Chicken Old Demon.

"Someone, light a fire and burn this place down!" Zheng Jianghe ordered directly.

These Shinguang Sect disciples immediately took action, preparing torches to set the Chen Residence on fire.

Zheng Jianghe wanted to destroy the scene for the Masked Man.

Although the effect might not be too great.

But it was better than nothing.

Outside the Shinguang Sect mountain gate.

The sunset had long faded, and the moon slowly rose.

The Shinguang Sect at night seemed a bit chilly.

A white-haired old man knelt outside the Shinguang Sect mountain gate, his forehead covered in dense cold sweat.

In his twilight years, he could lose his life at any moment.

Perhaps by tripping and falling, or perhaps by falling asleep.

"Old man, go back." The old woman's hair was white and somewhat disheveled, but judging by her attire, one could tell that she used to be a very particular person.

"I'll kneel for a while longer. If a passing Immortal Master sees me, perhaps they will be moved and avenge Qianqian!"

The old woman looked at the stubborn old man, her eyes clouding with mist.

For mortals like them, living in a world of cultivators, it all came down to fate.

To be born in the area controlled by the Black Mountain Sect was to have a miserable destiny.

But under the rule of a righteous sect like the Shinguang Sect, they would be much luckier.

However, in the eyes of the high and mighty immortals, weren't they still just ants?

Facing Chu Tianxiong, they were powerless to take revenge and could only place their hopes on the Shinguang Sect.

Right now, they were like people trying to stop an imperial carriage to file a complaint.

Fortunately, no one here tried to persuade them to go back.

Just then, a clear and melodious voice came.

"I caught a Blue Flower Fish today, and I'm in a good mood. Please have some fish soup."

Qi Yuan appeared, holding two bowls of fish soup in his hands.

The aroma was fragrant and particularly tempting.

When the old man saw this, an excited look appeared on his face, and he was about to kowtow: "Please, Immortal Master, avenge my poor daughter!"

Qi Yuan flicked his finger, and a burst of spiritual power stabilized the old man, preventing him from kowtowing.

Qi Yuan delivered the fish soup to the two of them.

"The sect already knows about your matter."

"Drink this soup and rest well."

Qi Yuan turned around, slightly moved: "The great man was right, if the heavens had feelings, they would also age, the right path in the world is full of vicissitudes."

"Deep affection has been a waste of regret since ancient times, this regret will last forever.

Justice delayed is not justice, where my heart belongs is where I feel at peace."

Qi Yuan was talking nonsense again.

Finally, he sighed.

"I hope that those who hear my words will not be misled by me."

After saying that, his figure disappeared.

And that old couple kept kowtowing, and joy finally appeared in their eyes.

The Immortal Master had noticed them!

Their persistence had not been in vain.

Of course, in this world, there are more instances of persistence that end without a result.
