"Why are you running so fast? You're making it seem like I'm going to eat you."

Just as Murong Xue blushed, Li Zhōujūn had already put on a set of azure robes and walked out of the room.

"Who eats whom is still up in the air."

Murong Xue replied without yielding an inch.

"Then why did you run?" Li Zhōujūn curled his lip.

"Morning, Master!"

Sū Nán's voice suddenly came from outside the courtyard. She then walked in, but when she saw Murong Xue, her face froze for a moment. "Murong Mountain Lord, you're here too? Did I interrupt you two? Should I leave?"

Murong Xue's pretty face reddened at the little girl's godlike assist. "You little brat, don't talk nonsense. Your master and I are completely innocent."

"Oh, so that's how it is." Understanding dawned across Sū Nán's little face.

Murong Xue felt like crying without tears. Clearly, this little girl had misunderstood.

"Alright, everyone's here. We should get going." Li Zhōujūn smiled.

Naturally, neither Murong Xue nor Sū Nán had any objections.

At the Xue Family plaza.

Xue Wuliang looked up at Li Zhōujūn, Murong Xue, and Sū Nán aboard the Nine Dragon Chariot, his expression reverent as he said, "This old man bids farewell to the two Mountain Lords."

"We bid farewell to the two Mountain Lords!" the cultivators in the plaza echoed.

"Please, see us no farther." Li Zhōujūn smiled. Then, he drove the Nine Dragon Chariot away from the Xue Family amid wave after wave of dragon roars.

"After yesterday's battle, this Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord will likely shock the entire Qingzhou Continent once again."

"Indeed. Killing a Great Cultivator at the peak of the Integration Stage with one punch—such strength is surely the pinnacle among pinnacles."

"As far as I know, this Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord is only in his forties now, isn't he?"

"Hiss, this old man lived seven hundred years before forming his Nascent Soul. Reaching the Tribulation Stage at forty is simply too terrifying..."

As they watched the direction in which Li Zhōujūn had departed, the cultivators in the plaza all sighed in amazement.

The next day.

Dao Tian Sect.

"Have you heard? Our Dao Tian Sect's Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord killed the Crimson Eyed Demon Lord, a Great Cultivator at the peak of the Integration Stage, with one punch!"

"What? Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord opened his mouth and spat a Great Cultivator at the peak of the Integration Stage to death??"

"What? Our Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord blew a Great Cultivator at the peak of the Integration Stage to death with a fart?"

News of Li Zhōujūn killing a Great Cultivator at the peak of the Integration Stage had spread like wildfire throughout Dao Tian Sect, becoming more and more outrageous with every retelling.

But at that moment.

Two incomparably terrifying auras descended outside Dao Tian Sect's gates.

Whether disciples, elders, or Mountain Lords, everyone in Dao Tian Sect changed expression at that moment.

Then, from mountain peaks throughout Dao Tian Sect, auras shot into the heavens one after another, eventually transforming into figures that appeared above Dao Tian Sect's gates.

"Who are you, to dare behave so brazenly outside the gates of my Dao Tian Sect?!"

Liǔ Yán, who had rushed over from Fire Maple Mountain to the skies above Dao Tian Sect's gates, looked solemnly at the elderly man and young woman crossing through the void.

The old man among this pair radiated a vast aura that had absolutely reached the Tribulation Stage.

The golden-eyed, barefoot young woman was the same.

"Dog-like trash like you thinks it deserves to speak? Hurry up and have your sect master come out to speak with me."

After glancing at Liǔ Yán, the golden-eyed, barefoot young woman spoke with disdain.

This elderly man and young woman were none other than Elder Wu and Chu Rou.

"Insolence!"

Liǔ Yán's face immediately turned green, then red.

Ever since he had broken through to the Virtual Immortal Stage, few had dared speak to him like this.

Being bullied by Li Zhōujūn and Murong Xue was one thing; after all, they were both members of Dao Tian Sect.

But now even outsiders dared to be so arrogant before him. Though the other side's cultivation was higher, he showed no fear whatsoever. "Do you really think that just because you are Tribulation Stage cultivators, my Dao Tian Sect will fear you?"

"That's right! Do you really think my Dao Tian Sect has no one? Mere Tribulation Stage cultivators dare come here and act so brazenly?!"

The Mountain Lords all stepped forward to support Liǔ Yán.

Though they came from different mountains and different lineages.

There was no doubt that they shared one common identity.

They were Mountain Lords of Dao Tian Sect.

"Visitors are guests. Do not be so impudent." Just as the Mountain Lords were about to angrily rebuke the elderly man and young woman, Mu Taiyu's figure slowly emerged from Dao Tian Sect's main gates.

"Hm?" When Elder Wu saw Mu Taiyu, his expression tightened, and he hurriedly sent a voice transmission to Chu Rou. "Holy Maiden, Dao Tian Sect's sect master, Mu Taiyu, is no weakling. Do not act rashly."

Chu Rou ignored Elder Wu's voice transmission and stared straight at Mu Taiyu. "You are Dao Tian Sect's sect master, Mu Taiyu?"

"That is correct." Mu Taiyu smiled. "May I ask what business brings you two to my Dao Tian Sect?"

"I have come to Dao Tian Sect to demand someone," Chu Rou said.

"Who?" Mu Taiyu asked.

"Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord, Li Zhōujūn," Chu Rou said bluntly.

"Oh?" Mu Taiyu asked in surprise. "May I ask why?"

"A life must be paid for with a life." Chu Rou's gaze was icy.

"Whom did Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord kill?" Mu Taiyu narrowed his eyes.

"Chu Fan," Chu Rou said.

"Crimson Eyed Demon Lord Chu Fan?"

"Shouldn't a demonic cultivator whose sins reached the heavens be killed?"

"That's right. Is something wrong with this woman's head? If Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord had killed an innocent person, this Mountain Lord naturally would not speak for him. But the one Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord killed was someone who deserved to die. This time, I stand with him. He killed well!"

"That's right, he killed well!"

At this moment, all the mountain lords stood united as one.

"Sect Master, this woman is connected to Crimson Eyed Demon Lord. She is likely a demonic cultivator as well. Why not capture her and return a bright and clear sky to Azure Continent?" Liǔ Yán stared at Chu Rou, displeasure in his eyes, though his words were righteous.

That's right, I, your father, am only a Void Immortal. I can't beat a Great Cultivator at the Tribulation Crossing Stage like you.

But the sect behind me isn't something you can afford to provoke.

Listening to the mountain lords and Liǔ Yán, Chu Rou's face frosted over as she looked at Mu Taiyu. "Sect Master Mu, are you certain you intend to protect Li Zhōujūn?"

Mu Taiyu gave a soft laugh. "Crimson Eyed Demon Lord committed monstrous crimes. Wherever he went, blood flowed into rivers and living beings suffered devastation. If I had encountered him, I would not have let him die as swiftly as Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord did. I would have torn him alive into tens of thousands of pieces, to console the spirits in heaven of all the living beings he slaughtered."

"Sect Master Mu, have you thought this through?"

Seeing that Mu Taiyu was clearly determined to protect Li Zhōujūn, Chu Rou's expression immediately darkened.

She had not expected Dao Tian Sect to be so united, unlike the sects she had encountered before, which had been nothing more than a heap of loose sand.

"You woman—though you are not bad-looking, you are all breasts and no brains. Do you still not understand what the Sect Master means? My Dao Tian Sect is the number one sect of Azure Continent. Even if Cloud Dwelling Mountain Lord has done something wrong, it is not your place to point fingers. My Dao Tian Sect will handle it ourselves, slaying demons and defending the Dao."

Liǔ Yán snorted coldly.

Though he did not get along with Li Zhōujūn, when facing outsiders, he still stood with his own people.

"You are courting death!"

After Liǔ Yán provoked her time and again, fury blazed in Chu Rou's eyes. She raised her hand, about to blast out a palm strike.

The terrifying aura brewing in her palm made the scalps of all the mountain lords present go numb.

Liǔ Yán was so frightened that he shrank his neck, and seeing that things were going badly, he was about to flee.

Mu Taiyu snorted coldly and prepared to make his move.

But then, an unexpected change suddenly occurred.

"My Dao Tian Sect's people are not for outsiders to bully."

A calm voice rang out.

Following the voice, the mountain lords looked over and saw that the newcomer was none other than Li Zhōujūn, who had returned to Dao Tian Sect aboard the Nine Dragon Chariot!

"You are Li Zhōujūn?"

Chu Rou, who had been about to strike Liǔ Yán, stopped her movement upon seeing the newcomer, hatred blazing in her eyes.
