Flower Immortal and Feng Qi were at loggerheads.

Feng Qi had recently been unable to suppress the murderous intent in his heart, but he was still somewhat wary of this crazy woman.

The other party is an unreasonable, crazy woman who would kill regardless of the situation.

Feng Qi snorted coldly, said nothing more to Flower Immortal, and left in a huff.

The Flower Immortal didn't linger and turned to leave.

Once outside, she saw several of her disciples, all wearing masks.

Feng Lin has a voluptuous figure, and even wearing a mask cannot hide the charm of her alluring body.

She said softly, "Master."

Flower Immortal smiled and said, "The people of the Profound Yin Sect are all mentally ill, they're all lunatics. Don't get too involved with them."

The disciples nodded in agreement.

Flower Immortal laughed and said, "Come on, come with me into the mountains again. We absolutely cannot let that thing that escaped from the tomb escape again this time."

Several disciples then followed her into the mountains.

Feng Qi, standing to the side, had a grim expression and looked at several Profound Yin Sect disciples, asking, "What about the hidden agents in the mountains?"

An elderly man with gray hair said, "It is indeed on the Red Cloud Sect Mountain; they did not escape far."

Feng Qi raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Where?"

The elderly man with gray hair respectfully said, "The informant took the Soul Talisman and traveled to many places, finally sensing it deep within Green Bamboo Peak."

Green Bamboo Peak? Feng Qi frowned. "Explain more clearly."

The white-haired old man continued, "Besides Peak Master Wang Yue, the only other True Person on Green Bamboo Peak is a recently accepted disciple named Chen Wang. It should be him."

"However, the people from Green Bamboo Peak rarely come down the mountain, so the informant has never seen Chen Wang's appearance."

Feng Qi waved his hand and said coldly, "The Soul Talisman has the effect of detection, so it can naturally sense it. In that case, this person killed a disciple of my Profound Yin Sect as a pledge of allegiance."

The elderly man with gray hair respectfully replied, "That should be it."

Feng Qi asked, "You just said that the people from Green Bamboo Peak don't come down the mountain very often?"

"Don't they go to the Market or interact with others?"

The old man looked troubled. "The Green Bamboo Peak Lord, Wang Yue, usually goes down the mountain often. His disciples can hardly stay. After a while, they will go to other peaks. But this young man surnamed Chen seems to be stuck. He has the same temper as his master. He rarely communicates with the outside world, and many disciples do not know him."

"I just heard that Chen Wang went down the mountain once some time ago, but we don't know where he went. We are still investigating."

Feng Qi frowned after hearing this. "He killed my disciple and is still so carefree and happy!"

"In that case, send someone in to infiltrate and kill him!"

The old man, his subordinate, hesitated upon hearing this and said, "The Red Cloud Sect is heavily guarded now. Wouldn't it be too costly to send someone in to assassinate him?"

"When we break through the Red Cloud Sect, keep an eye on this person and kill him then, shall we..."

Before he could finish speaking, the rest of his words got stuck in his throat, and he couldn't say them.

Feng Qi stared at him with sharp eyes. "I didn't realize I had someone as talented as you under my command."

"What? You want me to take your place?"

The old man was terrified, cold sweat beading on his forehead, and he quickly said, "This subordinate wouldn't dare!"

Feng Qi said calmly, "Now is the time when we need people, so I don't blame you. If it were before, you would know my methods."

The old man kowtowed repeatedly, saying, "Your subordinate knows his crime! I misspoke just now!"

Feng Qi snorted coldly, "The people of my Profound Yin Sect are not so easy to kill. If I let people know that hiding in the Red Cloud Sect won't save his life!"

"I want to show all the forces that their only way out is to join my Profound Yin Sect and wipe out the Red Cloud Sect!"

Do you understand?

As soon as he finished speaking, his many subordinates became solemn.

The old man repeatedly said, "I understand. My thinking was too narrow and my considerations were not thorough enough!"

Feng Qi said coldly, "I'm only giving you two days to bring a group of skilled men and take care of that kid. Bring me his head!"

The old man nodded and said, "Your subordinate will do his utmost and will not fail in his mission!"

He bowed and withdrew.

A cold glint flashed in Feng Qi's eyes. This man was vindictive and ruthless, indeed a difficult person to deal with.

Moreover, Feng Qi is extremely concerned about his reputation and is a well-known expert in the Cultivation World.

This time, when dealing with the Red Cloud Sect, he must do his best and leave no room for criticism!

"Once the Copper Corpse Old Ancestor and the Ghost Daoist arrive, we can launch an attack and first cut off this brat's head as a sacrifice to the flag!"

Chen Wang was cultivating on Green Bamboo Peak, striving to adjust his Law Power to the peak state of the Qi Refining stage. At that time, he would have no worries and could wholeheartedly Qi Refining into Liquid and breaking through to the Foundation Establishment.

In addition, he was also nurturing the Green Ox Sword, which, after proper refinement, would be as easy to wield as an extension of his own arm.

However, only those in the Foundation Establishment Realm can unleash the full power of this sword.

There wasn't much work to do in the fields during this period, and Wang Yue didn't stay on the mountain peak all the time.

He greeted Chen Wang with a smile and said, "Chen Wang, I'm going down the mountain to the Market to find a female cultivator to have some fun with. How about it? Want to come along?"

Upon hearing this, Chen Wang's lips twitched. Ever since he recognized this elder brother, the other party had become even more unrestrained in speaking to him.

He shook his head. "I won't go. I've been meditating and in seclusion recently, and I've gained quite a bit of insight."

Wang Yue pursed his lips. "The path of cultivation requires a balance of tension and relaxation; one cannot always be so tense."

Chen Wang's lips twitched. Is this what cultivating immortality is like? My master is taking me to a brothel? "I'm not going, let's do it another day."

He has been focusing all his attention on refining the pills in his hands to consolidate his cultivation level and prepare for the Foundation Establishment Realm, and he does not want to be distracted.

Wang Yue remained noncommittal. "Then forget it. I heard that a group of young ladies have recently come to the brothel. Their skin is so smooth, and they are all around sixteen years old. It would be a shame if you didn't go."

Chen Wang: "..."

Now he seriously suspects that the last time he took a vacation of more than half a month, Old Wang lingered there and did not return for a long time because he was spending his time in brothels.

After Wang Yue left, Chen Wang suddenly felt a surge of hope. "If even someone like Old Wang could successfully Foundation Establishment, then Foundation Establishment isn't that difficult. I can definitely do it too!"

If Wang Yue knew what Chen Wang was thinking at that moment, he probably wouldn't go to the brothel and would just slap him on the back of the head! After nightfall, when all was quiet, Green Bamboo Peak, where Chen Wang was, was even quieter.

He wasn't practicing his martial Law Technique or magic at the moment, but instead was sitting cross-legged in meditation.

Black Wind and windy night for murder.

Five or six Red Cloud Sect Disciple walked towards Green Bamboo Peak.

The leader was in his thirties, with almond-shaped eyes, a straight nose, and an overall extremely handsome appearance.

He led his men quietly to the foot of Green Bamboo Peak; there was no one around.

This place is already quite remote, and Green Bamboo Peak rarely interacts with people, so no one comes here.

The young man said in a low voice, "Wang Zhenren is not on the mountain now, so this is the best time."

Beside him stood an old man with his head bowed, also dressed in the robes of the Red Cloud Sect.

He looked up and whispered, "We'll sneak in and kill that man later, but we shouldn't alert too many people."

His name was Gao Ma, and he was a subordinate of the Profound Yin Sect.

Infiltrating the Red Cloud Sect at this time, without Foundation Establishment Realm expert to restrain their firepower, he knew the matter was dangerous. If that kid made a fuss, none of them would be able to leave alive.

The young man with phoenix eyes was surnamed Lin and named Lin Zhou.

Lin Zhou nodded upon hearing this. He felt that Gao Ma was quite reliable in handling matters.

However, he was extremely dissatisfied with the arrangements made within the church.

He said in a low voice, "Fellow Daoist Gao, if word gets out now, I won't be able to hide in the Red Cloud Sect anymore. Isn't this a bit too rash?"

Their spies in the Red Cloud Sect have decreased significantly, with many being eliminated.

Ordinary disciples don't have access to much information and it's of no use to them.

Lin Zhou is the disciple with the highest level of undercover identity.

Gao Ma shook his head. "This is the order from above. At this time, it's worth taking some risks to use this kid's head as a demonstration."

Lin Zhou didn't say much either.

The Profound Yin Sect is very wary of subordinates speaking ill of their superiors. If such things were to reach the ears of those above, his merits as an undercover agent here would probably be overshadowed.

Lin Zhou said, "I stayed on Green Bamboo Peak for a while. Let's go, without disturbing the formation in this mountain."

They sneaked in quietly, and with Lin Zhou as their guide, they didn't alert anyone, nor did they trigger the formation on Green Bamboo Peak.

Wang Yue had led many people before, but they all later switched to other mountains, Lin Zhou was one of them.

However, his reason for switching to the mountain peak was different from others.

The Green Bamboo Peak spend their days farming and doing nothing. They don't have any fellow disciples, so their relationships are rather monotonous. How can they possibly gather information here?

That's right, he was an undercover agent from the start, not someone who joined halfway through; he was well hidden.

Tonight,

The Profound Yin Sect decided to use this hidden agent, even at the cost of exposure, to kill Chen Wang and use his head to demonstrate to the major sects that the Profound Yin Sect could silently infiltrate the Red Cloud Sect and kill those who offended the Profound Yin Sect. This was a demonstration of their power.

It can suppress the thoughts of other forces, and it's not just purely for personal revenge.

Of course, only Feng Qi himself knows the specifics.

They quickly found Chen Wang's residence.

The elderly man with gray hair Gao Ma, took a small flag from his pocket.

"Activating this formation will prevent outside information from entering within the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, and the sounds inside will also be unable to escape."

The art of formations is about overcoming the strong with the weak, and it contains many mysteries. These Array Flag can isolate one's aura.

It was also some of the effort they put into killing Chen Wang.

The young man with phoenix eyes, Lin Zhou, nodded. "Let's finish this quickly!"

He was a cautious man and had also learned that Chen Wang had once killed Feng Qi's disciple.

Feng Qi's disciple possesses two Top Grade Magic Tool, one for offense and one for defense. This means that Chen Wang currently has at least three Top Grade Magic Tool, or even more! This is an extremely astonishing number!

Top Grade Magic Tool can be considered powerful weapons in the hands of Qi Refining stage cultivators. Even he doesn't have a single one, but Chen Wang seems to have several.

For this reason alone, Chen Wang could have easily brought about his own demise.

Now that the moment had come, he wasn't too afraid of being exposed; instead, he was calculating in his mind.

"When we go in later, we must seize the opportunity. I want at least two of those Top Grade Magic Tool that kid has!"

Lin Zhou thought to himself, "This is what the young man with phoenix eyes is like."

At this moment, he was calculating his own little scheme.

The elderly man with gray hair was more concerned about the mission this time. He was afraid that Feng Qi was unpredictable and wanted to use his head as a warning to others in order to put people at ease.

He whispered a reminder: "I've already told you about this person's situation, so I won't say more. Once we're inside, kill him without hesitation!"

Everyone agreed.

They were all experts from the Profound Yin Sect, skilled in combat, and all were Late-Stage Qi Refining masters. With Lin Zhou joining them, there were six of them in total. Six against one, they still couldn't win, so they might as well just find a block of tofu and smash their heads against it! At this moment, Chen Wang's room was brightly lit and quiet, without any sound.

They acted with extreme secrecy, making no sound and concealing their presence.

Unconsciously, a strange force covered Chen Wang's residence, forming a thin protective shield.

Unless someone has a special sense of perception, they really wouldn't be able to detect it.

Everything was ready; the group prepared to commit murder.

But Chen Wang inside the house had already sensed it. His five senses were very strong, and he knew what was happening when the other party approached.

His first thought was that these people were able to infiltrate the Red Cloud Sect undetected.

Should I leave the Cultivation World and go to the Winter?

"If these people aren't eliminated, am I supposed to just stay here and hide forever?"

Chen Wang raised an eyebrow.

He was Caution Saint Lineage, but he was not someone who was afraid of trouble.

When the power of the Array Flag covered the area, Gao Ma, Lin Zhou and the others thought that the matter was foolproof, but in fact, Chen Wang sensed that the Bronze Gate could still be pushed open and he could leave the area easily.

"You think you can bully me? I live a secluded life in the mountains, detached from worldly affairs, but I won't let you get away with it!"

Chen Wang's eyes turned cold.

The group dispersed and quietly approached. One of them was pale-faced and was holding a Talisman Paper in his hand.

This talisman contains a mid-level Law Technique, when cast, can summon many sharp ice swords.

When cultivators in the Qi Refining stage fight, they mostly use basic Law Technique. These spells are fast to cast and quite powerful. Combined with Law Artifact and talismans, this person plans to start with an Frost Art to catch Chen Wang off guard.

But at that moment, the wooden door shattered with a crash, as if it were made of paper, and pieces of wood flew everywhere!

A young man burst out of the door, his Qi and Blood as hot as a furnace, the air itself becoming scorching and distorted by the intense heat.

His gaze was icy cold as he slammed a fist into the pale-faced man. A deafening bang resounded! Before the man could react, his chest caved in, his internal organs shattered.

Instant death!

Everyone was horrified!

I never expected this to happen at this time!

At this moment, Chen Wang's Qi and Blood were like a furnace. He pounced on another person like a tiger. His movements left afterimages in the air. In a flash, he arrived in front of that person. Of course, in order not to disturb Chen Wang, they did not use any defensive magic Law Artifact.

Caught off guard, he immediately unleashed his flying sword, aiming for Chen Wang's brow.

With a thought, the flying sword shot out! But in that split second, Chen Wang's figure suddenly vanished. He reacted with lightning speed, delivering a sweeping leg kick that snapped the man's legs with a crack, revealing the stark white bones! Then, Chen Wang punched the man's head, slamming it to the ground with a bang! His head exploded, scattering red, white, and yellow fragments all over the ground, mixed with some bone shards—a truly gruesome sight!

Everyone was horrified, shocked by Chen Wang's ruthless methods!

"Holy crap, what's wrong with this kid?!"
