"You brat, you really dare to say anything?"
"Even if everything you said is true, you can't just go around saying it."
"Otherwise, if the Sect Master hears about it, you might lose your life!"
The disciple was lecturing the one who had spoken carelessly earlier.
He didn't notice at all that Sparkle, disguised as Ning Fengzhi, had already appeared behind him.
"Cough, cough!"
Sparkle coughed, and the two disciples instantly straightened up, standing there impeccably.
"S-Sect Master, you're out so quickly this time."
The disciple said with an embarrassed expression.
However, Sparkle merely let out a cold snort and left with Lu Jiang.
After all, they had just accomplished something big and didn't have the time to waste on these minor characters.
The next morning, Lu Jiang had already packed his belongings.
He planned to leave today.
Before leaving, he specifically recalled the few people he had summoned back into his Martial Soul.
After all, too many people would attract too much attention and be easily discovered.
Then, Lu Jiang left.
But when he arrived at the mountain gate of the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect, he encountered the two disciples who had been blocking him all along.
Ning Jin and Ning Yuan.
"Yo, isn't this Senior Brother Lu? Up so early today?"
Ning Yuan greeted Lu Jiang with a smile.
Lu Jiang could only respond awkwardly.
Then he grumbled inwardly.
Damn it. Do these people not need to sleep?
Even if I'm a criminal, they can't guard me 24/7, right?
Is there no human rights anymore?
After greeting him, Lu Jiang was about to leave.
Ning Jin walked over and placed his hand on Lu Jiang's shoulder.
"Senior Brother Lu, what are you doing at the mountain gate so early in the morning?"
"Your tent is on the other side. Even if you were just taking a stroll, you wouldn't come this way."
"Could it be that you're trying to sneak away, Senior Brother?"
Ning Jin's face showed an expression of having seen through everything.
Lu Jiang's body stiffened, and he stood there for a moment before turning around with a smile.
"Oh, what are you two talking about? I was just thinking of coming to the mountain gate to see if anyone was on guard."
"After all, our Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Sect has just suffered a heavy blow, and all our efforts are now focused on reviving the sect."
"I was worried that someone with ill intentions might take advantage of our sect's weakness to sneak in and gather intelligence."
"Seeing you two guarding here puts my mind at ease."
After speaking, Lu Jiang turned to leave.
"You two junior brothers are truly dedicated. I didn't expect you to be guarding the mountain gate so early in the morning."
"Good, very good."
But just as Lu Jiang was about to escape, Ning Jin suddenly stepped forward and grabbed his bag.
"Senior Brother, why are you carrying such a large bag if you're just out for a stroll?"
"Hmph, do you really think we brothers are fools?"
Seeing that the two had already dropped the pretense, Lu Jiang no longer intended to play along.
"You two, your methods are not smooth enough."
"If it were the past, even if Senior Brother caught me, he would at least say a few nice words."
"Since you're not going to pretend anymore, I have no reason to continue playing with you."
Ning Yuan also caught up and stared at Lu Jiang.
"Senior Brother Lu, it seems you intend to fight?"
"Just right, my brother and I have long heard that Senior Brother Lu is exceptionally talented. Otherwise, this Senior Brother position wouldn't have fallen to you!"
"Let my brother and I test your skills, senior brother."
After speaking, Ning Yuan released his Martial Soul.
A small, seven-story pagoda appeared before him.
At the same time, five Soul Rings slowly emerged from under his feet.
Yellow, yellow, purple, purple, black.
This disciple was actually already at the Soul King realm.
Furthermore, he wasn't a Soul King who was crudely made; each of his Soul Rings was absorbed with the optimal ratio and at the maximum possible age.
It seemed the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect had invested considerable resources into these two brothers.
But it made sense. Auxiliary Martial Souls were inherently difficult to cultivate.
The Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda had no offensive capabilities whatsoever. If resources weren't poured into it, they might not even be able to capture any Soul Rings.
"You want to fight me?"
"Have you forgotten that the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda has no offensive abilities?"
Lu Jiang looked at them, not intending to fight.
After all, this was within the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect. If a real fight broke out…
It might attract some powerful old monsters.
By then, he wouldn't be able to explain himself, even if he had a hundred mouths.
Just then, Ning Jin stepped forward and said to Lu Jiang with a smile:
"It seems you've forgotten about me, senior brother."
"Who says the Inner Disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect must have the Seven Treasures Glazed Tile Pagoda as their Martial Soul?"
After speaking, Ning Jin directly used a Martial Soul fusion.
A giant wild boar appeared behind him, then transformed into Soul Power, which was slowly absorbed into his body.
His own physique immediately expanded, his nose gradually elongated, and finally, he transformed into a monster with a pig's head and a human's body.
[Name: Ning Jin] [Martial Soul: Fengshui Pig] [Level: Offensive Type Level 51 Battle Soul King] [Soul Ring Ratio: Yellow, Yellow, Purple, Purple, Black.]
Lu Jiang looked at the brothers with some surprise.
Despite being twin brothers, their Martial Souls were vastly different.
One offensive, one auxiliary; the combination of these two presented a bit of a challenge.
Thus, Lu Jiang also summoned his Martial Soul.
"Black, black, black, milky white."
Four Soul Rings rose from his feet.
Although the reward this time had raised his Soul Power Level to fifty, it hadn't given him any Soul Rings.
It seemed he would have to find a way to get one himself.
However, dealing with these two in front of him, even with only four Soul Skills, would be enough.
The moment Lu Jiang's Soul Rings appeared, Ning Jin and Ning Yuan were stunned.
What kind of Soul Ring ratio was this? Could such Soul Rings truly exist in the world?
And what was that milky white Soul Ring? It was a color they had never seen before.
There was no way someone could have three ten-thousand-year Soul Rings and then absorb a ten-year one for the fourth, right?
The two were incredibly shocked but managed to convince themselves.
No matter how good his Soul Rings were, he was still just a Soul Elder.
They were both Soul Kings, what was there to fear?
However, at that moment, a precious sword descended from the sky.
It landed precisely between the two parties.
Then, Chen Xin slowly descended from the sky, his toes lightly tapping on the sword hilt.
"No fighting within the sect."
A majestic voice echoed, and then Chen Xin looked at Lu Jiang and asked.
"Lu Jiang? Didn't the Sect Master confine you for a year?"
"Why are you here at the mountain gate?"
Upon seeing Chen Xin appear, Lu Jiang stopped pretending.
He chuckled and said to him:
"House arrest? Sorry, I don't want to stay anymore."
"I'm leaving today, let's see who can stop me."
After speaking, a purple figure appeared beside him.
"Trailblazer, today's enemy, is this it?"
"Don't even think about hurting the Trailblazer."
Acheron slowly walked out, her jade hand resting on the hilt of her blade, looking at Jian Chen with a commanding gaze. Her stunning eyes reflected captivating light.
A feeling of absolute security.
