The Traitor Within Hundred Peaks Sect

Bai Ruorou looked at Song Zhong and instructed, "Seven Stars Sect is not close to our Hundred Peaks Sect. Moreover, Seven Stars Sect nearly had its sect wiped out before and is still recuperating.

Even when Fei Wei goes out, he is always in the Extraterritorial Battlefield.

Normally, he will not encounter you.

But when you use Boundary Thunder, do not be too flamboyant."

"Understood." Song Zhong nodded heavily. "Master, you mean that once I use Boundary Thunder, I should leave no survivors. I understand."

Bai Ruorou's eyes flew wide open. Was that what I meant?

"Just kidding, Master. Do not be so serious. Do not worry, almost no one will be able to tell what kind of lightning I use."

What a joke. All of his lightning had fused into the Thunder of Azure Nothingness. His Thunder of Azure Nothingness carried every kind of aura—what could anyone possibly detect?

Besides, that so-called Venerable.

Why would I be afraid of him?

I'll soon reach the Golden Body Realm. Between me and a Venerable, there are only the Longevity Realm and the Immortal Realm. Just a few years' time.

As for these so-called Orthodox Sects.

From Twin Absolute Sect to Daoxuan Sect and now this Seven Stars Sect, none of them seemed to do anything resembling human decency.

Song Zhong could not be bothered to judge them. Anyone who provoked him would be sent on their way.

"Alright, Master, I'll be leaving first."

Song Zhong spoke as he prepared to leave. Yet he had barely taken one step when Bai Ruorou's voice rang out.

"Wait... You're just leaving after taking the lightning?" Bai Ruorou looked at her disciple with an odd expression.

Song Zhong looked at his master's breathtakingly beautiful face, then at the peculiar look in her eyes. His expression became strange as well.

Master, if you won't let me leave, what do you want to do?

You're not thinking of... taking advantage of me, are you?

That would be so embarrassing...

Still, Master really is fair...

Bai Ruorou did not know why, but whenever she sensed Song Zhong's gaze, she felt awkward. She swiftly said, "I am your master. Although you have obtained the True Lord's Inheritance,

you are still a disciple of our Prison Suppressing Peak, and I must teach you the arts of Prison Suppressing Peak.

For the next few days, stay on Prison Suppressing Peak and cultivate the arts of our peak."

Song Zhong was deeply disappointed and blurted out, "So it's just cultivation arts."

Bai Ruorou's eyes widened. "If not cultivation arts, then what were you hoping for?"

"Nothing..."

That night.

Within Formless Peak, inside the cave residence of Jian Kong, the Deputy Sect Master.

Jian Kong sat cross-legged. Within the transparent Bronze Mirror before him appeared a shadowy figure shrouded in darkness.

"I already know that a Star River Realm cultivator can easily defeat a first-layer Golden Body Realm cultivator. You have done well."

An aged voice came from the Bronze Mirror, as though it had drifted up from hell itself, making one's scalp prickle.

Jian Kong respectfully cupped his hands toward the Bronze Mirror. "It is merely what this disciple should do.

Ancestor, what should we do next?" A cold voice devoid of any human emotion came through.

Jian Kong's expression immediately changed, and he said with some difficulty, "But with the talent Song Zhong has displayed, the people of Prison Suppressing Peak likely will not let him leave easily."

The shadow's voice in the Bronze Mirror grew even colder. "Then make your move within Hundred Peaks Sect.

Hundred Peaks Sect is so vast. Will he remain on Prison Suppressing Peak forever?

Will top experts always be by his side?

As long as there are no experts by his side, kill him outright!"

"What!" Jian Kong's body shuddered violently. The Ancestor was right—there could not always be experts beside Song Zhong!

Especially within Hundred Peaks Sect, Song Zhong would be exceptionally relaxed. It truly would be a perfect chance to kill Song Zhong!

But the problem was that if he personally killed Song Zhong, he would absolutely be unable to escape Hundred Peaks Sect. He would surely die!

"There is no need for you to act." The Ancestor's voice came again from the Bronze Mirror. "Do you remember why I sent you to Hundred Peaks Sect when you were young?

It was for the Divine Weapon at Hundred Peaks Cliff.

And alone, your chances were too slim, so I also sent another person into Hundred Peaks Sect.

You need do nothing next. Just watch."

Inside a cave residence on Yin Yang Peak, a peerlessly beautiful woman looked at the letter in front of her and suddenly smiled.

"Interesting, truly interesting. This mission seems as though it was tailored specifically for me.

Originally, I merely wanted to find you and have you help me retrieve a Divine Weapon.

I never expected you to grow to such a level. One of the Ten Great Thunderbolts—such an enormous temptation. I refuse to believe you can turn it down.

But now is not the time. Acting now would be too obvious."

With a gentle movement of her hand, the letter in her grasp turned into ashes and vanished without a trace.

Then she left her cave residence and arrived at the cave residence beside it.

It was as though she had returned to her own cave residence. The formation around it did not even activate as she walked directly inside.

Deep within the cave residence, mist curled over a pool. A beautiful jade-like body soaked in the water.

Hearing the sound, she looked up. Upon seeing the visitor, a blush appeared on her face, and she completely submerged herself in the pool, complaining, "Senior Sister Zhu Qing, you came in without even saying anything."

"They are both women, what is there to fear?" Zhu Qing said casually. "Jingyao, Song Zhong has returned. Do you know?"

"Of course I know." Chu Jingyao could not help sighing. "Song Zhong's rate of breakthroughs is truly terrifying. In such a short time, he has already reached the peak of the Star River Realm.

He even defeated a Golden Body Realm cultivator from Formless Peak.

Senior Sister, we have always been called geniuses, yet when we were in the Star River Realm, we were nowhere near capable of facing Golden Body Realm cultivators."

As she spoke, she looked at her Senior Sister with some curiosity and asked, "Senior Sister, did you suddenly come to see me just to talk about him?"

"Nothing much." Zhu Qing said casually, "You asked me to find him back then to help retrieve a Divine Weapon, but I never had the time.

Later, when I had the time, he was no longer on the peak.

Now that he has returned, I want to find him and have him help me retrieve the Divine Weapon.

I came to ask whether you are going tomorrow."

"Not recently." Chu Jingyao considered for a moment, then gently shook her head. "It will have to be five days from now."

"Then we will go five days from now." Zhu Qing smiled as well. She was in no hurry.

Bai Ruorou had originally wanted Song Zhong to remain on the peak and cultivate its arts for a while.

Yet one day—truly just one day later.

Song Zhong had actually mastered every single art.

Early the next morning, another beautiful woman arrived at Prison Suppressing Peak.

Yan Yourong had come to ask him to help retrieve a Divine Weapon.

Song Zhong did not say much. He directly flew with Yan Yourong to Hundred Peaks Cliff, took her little hand, and released spiritual energy toward the bottom of the cliff.

Soon, a streak of azure light shot into the sky.

After a long interval, the people of Hundred Peaks Sect once more saw the radiance of a Divine Weapon envelop the entire sect.

A sword entirely of emerald jade, as though condensed from precious jade itself, appeared in the air.

Though it was only a sharp sword, it gave people the illusion that the entire world had been surrounded by countless strands of Sword Qi.

The Mountain Guardian Elder glanced at the sword and nodded slightly. "You Rong, you have rather good luck.

This sword is called the Forget Dust Elusive Sword, a Seventh Grade Upper Tier Divine Weapon.

I imagine I need not introduce this sword to you."

Hearing this, Yan Yourong's body trembled involuntarily, making the front of her body shake sharply as well. She bowed toward the Mountain Guardian Elder. "Thank you, Elder."

Song Zhong immediately felt awful. No, I'm the one who pulled up the Divine Weapon for you. Why are you thanking him?

Forget Dust whatever sword, together with the Mountain Guardian Elder's words—this was obviously the Divine Weapon of Absolute Dust Sect back then!

Shouldn't you be properly thanking me?

Hm? What is bouncing? You've turned around?

Are you going to thank me?

Yan Yourong turned toward Song Zhong and cupped her hands. "Although I gave you Thunder Crystals and asked you to help me retrieve a Divine Weapon,

I know that the Thunder Crystals I gave you were actually not enough to make you act.

You helped me only for your sister's sake.

So I still owe you a debt of gratitude. This time, I owe you once. I..."

Song Zhong immediately waved his hand magnanimously. "No need, really. There is no need to offer yourself in marriage."

Yan Yourong was instantly dumbfounded. Offer herself in marriage? How had this suddenly become offering herself in marriage?

"I..."

For a moment, she did not even know what to say.
