Initial Probe
Su Jie Red Cloud Sect, flew on her sword and landed in a courtyard.
In this courtyard stands a lush pine tree, brimming with vitality. Beneath the pine stands a middle-aged monk with graying temples.
A chessboard lay before him, and he played alone, his brow furrowed as if deep in thought.
Su Jie arrived on her sword and, seeing that Martial Uncle Wei was deep in thought, did not go forward to disturb him.
The middle-aged cultivator with graying temples made his move, and the black pieces, which had previously been at a disadvantage, now showed signs of a decisive victory over the Great Dragon.
However, the middle-aged cultivator's expression was not relaxed. He turned to look at the aloof female cultivator and asked, "What happened?"
Su Jie stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Those thieves did indeed infiltrate the Pill Refining Peak, attempting to attack the Pill Refining Hall."
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged cultivator said calmly, "Either the old man you saw did not report the news, or they want to do the opposite."
"The second possibility is extremely unlikely. The Red Cloud Sect has been operating here for many years. Since they are already on guard, these petty tricks of theirs will not be of any use."
Su Jie raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Does Martial Uncle Wei mean that this person most likely encountered problems on the way?"
The middle-aged cultivator stood up and said calmly, "Most likely."
Su Jie said, "I fought with that person before. The Black Iron Shield in his hand could be moved at will and could block flying swords. Later, I used my flying sword to track him, but he discovered the Xuanji and erased the mark on the Black Iron Shield. This kind of person is first-class in both cunning and methods. How could he die on the road for no reason?"
The middle-aged cultivator surnamed Wei glanced at her and smiled, "Nothing is impossible. I also failed to find the Azure-Eyed Golden-Eyed Beast that escaped a while ago."
"Moreover, the mountains are inhabited by ghosts and spirits, creatures of nature, which are even more powerful than us cultivators. Although the possibility of him getting into trouble is small, it is not entirely unexpected."
Su Jie nodded slightly upon hearing this.
The low, bull-like, dragon-like roar that was heard in the mountains some time ago was actually made by a beast with emerald eyes and golden pupils.
Unfortunately, even though they searched the mountains, including two Foundation Establishment cultivators, they found nothing.
The middle-aged cultivator asked calmly, "Who are the attackers this time?"
Su Jie replied, "The Seven Stars Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, and the Qin Family disciples."
"Only one Foundation Establishment Realm expert has come."
The middle-aged cultivator surnamed Wei smiled upon hearing this, "That's it. Regardless of whether the old man goes back to report, this attack will not stop."
Su Jie was taken aback by his words and asked curiously, "Why is that?"
The middle-aged cultivator's surname was Wei, Wei Xian. Even in his youth, he was clearly a handsome man.
He remained composed and said calmly, "To be able to infiltrate the Pill Refining Peak without attracting attention, and to go through so much trouble, how could you only send so few people?"
Su Jie was incredibly clever, and upon hearing this, she immediately realized. "Martial Uncle Wei, are you saying that their actions are a test?"
Wei Xian said calmly, "They want us to believe that this is their strength."
"But in reality, it's only one-tenth, or even less."
"The Red Cloud Sect has been here for many years and has always been arrogant. With their Old Ancestor in charge, they have never paid any attention to the smaller forces in the vicinity. They want us to continue to maintain this impression."
Su Jie remained silent, but her eyes unconsciously narrowed.
"If that's the case, there will probably be another bloody battle."
Wei Xian calmly said, "That's right, these are just minor skirmishes. I suspect their target is actually the Old Ancestor."
Su Jie exclaimed in disbelief, "They want to harm the Old Ancestor!"
Wei Xian's expression was solemn. "Just think about it, how could the Seven Stars Sect, the Five Poisons Sect, and the Qin Family dare to be enemies with the Red Cloud Sect?"
"If they still have some forces hidden in the shadows that haven't surfaced, who is secretly coordinating such a large number of forces?"
"These forces each have their own agendas, so who has the ability to bring them together and secretly plot such a thing?"
"It must be something that happened to our Old Ancestor. The sect leaked the information, which is why they are spying on us."
"If we want to deal with the Red Cloud Sect, we must completely eliminate the Old Ancestor; otherwise, no matter how much trouble we cause, it will not be respectable."
Su Jie's expression was extremely solemn at this moment.
The Old Ancestor the Red Cloud Sect was a figure she revered and looked up to like a towering mountain.
The other party's actions seem to indicate that they not only want to cause some damage, but also intend to destroy the entire Red Cloud Sect! The scheme of the person behind this is terrifying to think about.
"No wonder Martial Uncle Wei said that if anyone from the sect tries to pass on a message to him, they must report it to him."
Su Jie thought to herself.
She then frowned and said softly, "Martial Uncle Wei, you seem to have said quite a lot to me today, which is unlike you usually do."
Wei Xian smiled and said, "You always complain that I speak in riddles and am not straightforward, so why do you feel like I'm saying too much when I give you more advice?"
Su Jie blushed upon hearing this and shook her head. "I have never spoken ill of Martial Uncle Wei in private."
Wei Xian said, "A storm is brewing. Our enemy is more patient than we think. It could be as short as a few months, or as long as three to five years."
"If they make a move, it will be with the force of thunder. You must concentrate on your cultivation and not slack off."
Su Jie's expression was stern.
"Your disciple humbly accepts your teachings."
The faint sounds of wind and thunder could be heard from within a grove of trees.
A lithe young man practiced his boxing within the arena. His hands moved with powerful, heavy force, his spine like Great Dragon, his Qi and Blood flowing smoothly, and his eyes shone with a sharp, piercing light.
With a single punch, a chilling aura swept over you!
Chen Wang was covered in sweat as he practiced the Tiger Strength Bull Demon Fist here.
Since this Tiger Strength Bull Demon Fist contains the essence of the Bull Demon, it inherently carries a sense of madness; without madness, one cannot truly live.
Body cultivation emphasizes using the body as a blade and a shield, with fists and feet as weapons for close-quarters combat.
No matter how ingenious the moves or how exquisite the Law Artifact, they all exude a mad, demonic intent at their core! Chen Wang calm and composed on the surface, but deep down he possesses a powerful fighting spirit. At this moment, practicing the Tiger Strength Bull Demon Fist perfectly aligns with this spirit, allowing his physique to improve rapidly! At this moment, Chen Wang's eyes are slightly bloodshot, and his fists are thrust out simultaneously like thunderous drums!
Bang! A sonic boom echoed through the air! The acupoints in Chen Wang's body were opened, starting with the Tan Zhong Acupoint in his chest.
Tan Zhong Acupoint is an extremely important acupoint.
After being pushed aside, Chen Wang's internal Qi and Blood surged once more.
He stomped his foot hard on the ground, making a cracking sound!
Cracks all over
"Tiger Strength Bull Demon Fist, Second Level!"
Chen Wang wiped the sweat from his forehead, feeling a bit thirsty.
Although he was physically strong, he had never practiced Qi and Blood cultivation.
The rapid pace of cultivation at this time has caused the body to be unable to withstand it.
He went back into the house and gulped down large amounts of water, finally feeling a cool sensation in his throat. "Rage seems to perfectly match the meaning of this Tiger Strength Bull Demon Fist."
Chen Wang thought to himself.
