That's it?

Qi Yuan earnestly looked at the books.

The worry between his brows gradually eased.

"The Black Mountain Sect is just this?"

Originally, the Black Mountain Sect was very active in the Great Shang Kingdom.

Qi Yuan had thought that the strength of the Black Mountain Sect was definitely extremely strong.

However, now it seemed that the strength of the Black Mountain Sect's main sect was actually only in the third tier in the Great Shang Kingdom.

The first tier was the Three Great Cultivation Sects.

The second tier was at least having a Divine Infant combat power, or rather, a method to resist the attacks of Divine Infant experts.

But the Black Mountain Sect didn't have that. Within the Black Mountain Sect, there were only seven Core Formation True Persons.

Among the seven Core Formation True Persons, the strongest was the Sect Master, who was only in the middle stage of Core Formation.

The rest were only in the early stage of Core Formation.

This kind of strength only belonged to the third tier in the Great Shang Kingdom.

"In other words, without the Black Chicken Old Demon, the Black Mountain Sect is just this?"

The more Qi Yuan thought about it, the more stable he felt.

The Cleaver had already awakened its intelligence. If it was the late stage of Core Formation, with the protective Core Light fully formed, he would still be somewhat afraid.

Just a middle stage Core Formation, a few early stage Core Formations, and the Golden Cores they formed were still of low grade.

His eyes gleamed, and he sneered, "With this kind of strength, they actually dare to come and cause trouble for me, they have already chosen a path to death!"

"It's better to strike first, or suffer later!"

"They definitely didn't expect that I would cross time and space, and kill them in advance, nipping this cause and effect in the bud."

Qi Yuan thought about his plan.

The Black Chicken Old Demon was not within the Black Mountain Sect. As long as he was fast enough, he could completely take revenge and run.

"It's a pity, I'm still too weak, otherwise, would I still need to avoid the Black Chicken Old Demon?

I'd just chop off its dog head with one knife!"

"Black Chicken Old Demon, I've remembered you!"

"If I could really travel through time and space, I would definitely slaughter it and drink chicken soup when the Black Chicken Old Demon was still young, or dance on its grave after its lifespan ended."

Qi Yuan couldn't help but think of a female hero in the Go world on Blue Star.

That female hero was a strong person who understood the rules of time.

She won against the number one female player in the past Go world in the present; she won against the number one female player in the present Go world in the past.

She was revered as "Beating up the elderly in the South Mountain Nursing Home" and "Kicking the kindergartners in the North Sea Kindergarten."

"Qi Yuan, Senior Brother, why are you here?" Just then, a familiar voice came.

He saw Zheng Jianghe staring at Qi Yuan with a strange expression.

Zheng Jianghe had noticed Qi Yuan when he arrived on the third floor of the Scripture Pavilion.

Qi Yuan's attire was strange, and his behavior was also sneaky, not like a good person.

Hiding in the corner, it would be strange if he didn't attract attention.

Zheng Jianghe had been watching for a while before he confirmed that this was indeed the senior brother of Seven Colors Peak, Qi Yuan.

Qi Yuan was also taken aback when he saw Zheng Jianghe.

It was as if a couple doing something guilty in the library had been discovered.

However, he quickly calmed down.

"Well, just came over to look at some information."

"Senior brother is also looking at information about the Black Mountain Sect?

I wonder if I could have the information after you're done reading it.

I need to take this information out of the Scripture Pavilion and hand it over to several elders," Zheng Jianghe said seriously.

"No problem." Qi Yuan put down those books. He thought of something and suddenly asked, "What's written on this should be true, right? The Black Chicken Old Demon has never been in the Black Mountain Sect?"

Zheng Jianghe felt that Qi Yuan's question was strange, but he still answered truthfully, "The Black Chicken Old Demon's Daoist temple is in the Ten Thousand Demons Ridge, which is thousands of miles away from the Black Mountain Sect.

Rumor has it that the Black Chicken Old Demon is currently seeking to break through to the late Divine Infant stage and should be in closed-door cultivation for a short time."

"That's good." Qi Yuan felt relieved.

Zheng Jianghe had a strange expression on his face: "I wonder what senior brother is investigating the Black Mountain Sect for?"

Qi Yuan looked at Zheng Jianghe, and he took out a cleaver: "Do you know what this is?"

"Senior brother's... pet."

Zheng Jianghe had heard of this knife.

He often saw Qi Yuan walking his cleaver.

"I heard that Chu Tianxiong of the Black Mountain Sect, and the Chicken Worshipping Ancestor, died under the blade of a mysterious expert.

And I also use a knife, and I'm afraid the Black Mountain Sect will misunderstand and think that I am that mysterious expert.

Therefore, I have to prepare early and see what experts the Black Mountain Sect has," Qi Yuan said with a serious face.

Zheng Jianghe: "..."

He coughed and finally said, "Senior brother is really... preparing for a rainy day."

How could the people of the Black Mountain Sect suspect you?

Zheng Jianghe felt it was outrageous.

But thinking of senior brother Qi Yuan's consistent way of thinking, he could understand.

After all, Qi Yuan is the only person in the entire Shinguang Sect, no, the entire Great Shang Kingdom, who dares to call the Peak Lord of Seven Colors Peak his wife to her face.

Zheng Jianghe left with the books.

Qi Yuan, however, tilted his head in thought, "Looks like I need to find an excuse to leave the sect for a while."

The Black Mountain Sect is quite far from the Shinguang Sect; it's not like Rong City, where you can go back and forth in a few hours.

If he leaves, he needs to report it.

After all, he is the chief disciple of a peak, not an ordinary disciple.

Dong Xian carried a pile of bamboo slips, walking quickly within the Shinguang Sect.

Before coming to the Shinguang Sect, his cultivation was completely gone, and he even proactively broke off his engagement with his fiancée.

It was precisely because of this series of actions that he avoided the vortex of power struggles and came to the Shinguang Sect.

Just a few days ago, the remnant soul within him also began to awaken.

The remnant soul within him was a powerful artifact refiner, who was harmed by treacherous people, leaving only a wisp of remnant soul that entered his body.

During this time, the remnant soul had been guiding his cultivation and teaching him the secret arts of artifact refining.

Yesterday, under the guidance of the remnant soul, he even found a few valuable artifact refining materials at a bargain in the Market.

"Old Artifact, do you think if the Black Chicken Old Demon steps into the Divine Infant late stage, will the entire Great Shang fall into turmoil?" Dong Xian, holding the bamboo slips, transmitted his voice to the Old Artifact within him.

Old Artifact then laughed, "You're just at the Qi Refining stage, why are you thinking about so much?

Could it be... you're still thinking about your power and influence?"

Dong Xian was silent, and after a long while, he replied, "If I could... it would be better to help Old Artifact you recover your strength."

"If you can seize power, then naturally everything will be fine. But your foundation is too shallow, and your mother's family's strength is not good either, so it's better to cultivate in peace, step by step.

With my artifact refining techniques, if there are no accidents, it won't take a few hundred years for you to step into the Divine Infant stage; strength is the foundation of everything."

Old Artifact earnestly advised.

Dong Xian's identity is special; he is actually an unfavored prince of the Great Shang Kingdom.

Now, the emperor of the Great Shang Kingdom is old and senile, and doesn't have much lifespan left.

And the princes are ambitious, fighting for power and profit, coveting the supreme throne.

Among the many princes, Dong Xian's background and foundation are the worst.

Therefore, some time ago, he proactively proposed to break off the engagement, retreating bravely, and came to the Shinguang Sect to avoid that place of right and wrong.

"Huh." Suddenly, Old Artifact was surprised, "Who is that person?"

Dong Xian quickly looked over and saw a strangely dressed man walking on the avenue.

However, he still recognized that person.

"The chief disciple of Seven Colors Peak, Qi Yuan." Dong Xian didn't know why Old Artifact would pay attention to that person.

"Did you see the Cleaver on his waist? That must be a good thing."

"It's a pity that my divine sense can't be released, otherwise I would definitely be able to discover what's so special about that Cleaver.

Quick, buy that Cleaver!" Old Artifact's voice was urgent.

Dong Xian was stunned.

If it were just an ordinary Cleaver, and Qi Yuan was just an ordinary Shinguang Sect disciple, he might still be able to buy it.

But... it wasn't.

Since Old Artifact instructed him, he still braced himself and went up.
