The Orange Cat's appearance at that moment amused Chen Wang.

"Is it because this bracelet works well, or because the cat got beaten up and became well-behaved?"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

Chen Wang was in a very good mood after finding such a mount.

"From now on, you'll be called Little White."

The Orange Cat, now the size of a normal stray cat, rubbed against Chen Wang's trouser leg and meowed obediently.

It's just that it's an Orange Cat, but Chen Wang named it Little White. I wonder if it could understand Chen Wang's words, it would jump up and give him another beating.

Chen Wang found a mount in the mountains, so he rode the spirit cat back to the Red Cloud Sect.

This big cat was extremely fast, but after running for a hundred miles, its speed slowed down.

It's fast, but lacks endurance.

Chen Wang patted its head with a hint of disdain, his eyes filled with hostility.

The Orange Cat turned its head away, looking aggrieved, and let out a pitiful meow.

The low growl it emitted when it attacked Chen Wang earlier sounded like a tiger's roar.

Although it was enormous, it turned its head and called out, but it was just a meow.

Chen Wang slapped it irritably, "Let's go, I'll take you flying."

This cat was quite intelligent; it changed its shape, quickly shrank, and lightly leaped to Chen Wang's side.

Chen Wang summoned the Show Overlord Sword and flew away, soaring back to the Red Cloud Sect.

But Chen Wang didn't know was that,

Several days after he left the Red Cloud Sect, a great battle broke out in the Red Cloud Sect, engulfing the entire Market.

The two Golden Core Stage experts from the Profound Yin Sect made their move, and their auras were truly astonishing.

When the Golden Core Old Ancestor of the Red Cloud Sect made his move, a tall figure materialized and directly enveloped the top of a small mountain.

He fought with two other Golden Core Stage experts, and they soon began to fight.

The Red Cloud Sect believed that by befriending Dragon Head Mountain, they could gain a lot of support, and they had also uncovered the nearby Profound Yin Sect's influence.

But this battle came too suddenly and quickly, and the bloody battle lasted for two days and two nights.

The Red Cloud Sect fell, Red Cloud Old Ancestor perished.

When Chen Wang returned to the mountain gate on his sword, he immediately sensed something was wrong.

Above the mountain gate, the cultivators were all dressed in black, their expressions cold and stern.

Upon seeing Chen Wang, they immediately gave him a cold shout.

"Who goes there!"

Chen Wang frowned immediately. These people were not Red Cloud Sect Disciple! His heart sank, and he immediately realized something was wrong. He immediately steered his flying sword and flew away.

They came in a hurry, and they left in a hurry.

Those disciples were only at the Qi Refining stage and could do nothing to Chen Wang, but they immediately sent a warning through telepathy.

At this moment, a sense of impending doom arose, and soon Foundation Establishment Realm expert emerged. The three of them summoned their Law Artifact and soared into the air.

However, Chen Wang immediately plunged into the forest and used the Sandalwood Bracelet in his hand to change his appearance.

"Something has happened at the Red Cloud Sect!"

As this thought crossed Chen Wang's mind, he became somewhat worried about Wang Yue's safety.

He found a place to hide in the mountains and didn't wander around.

Several Foundation Establishment Realm cultivators were flying through the air on their swords, wielding Law Artifact, and their chilling voices echoed in the sky.

"You are also Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator, why are you acting like a coward?"

"The Red Cloud Sect has already been destroyed by us. Why don't you show yourself and join my Profound Yin Sect? You can also secure a place for yourself."

"Haha, so you were hiding here!"

At this moment, three cultivators from the Profound Yin Sect were flying around in the mountains and fields.

Chen Wang hid in a mountain cave. He had reacted very quickly and had not revealed his presence. He then plunged into the forest.

Although the man claimed to have seen him, Chen Wang remained motionless.

His aura was very calm, and the Orange Cat he had just tamed did not make a sound at his signal. The man and the cat kept a low profile.

The sounds outside still echoed, and someone was patrolling the air on a sword.

"I don't think he's here. I'll go look somewhere else."

The sound of their conversation reached Chen Wang's ears.

Chen Wang remained motionless in place, without making a sound.

After a while, a sharp whooshing sound came, and someone flew to the vicinity of Chen Wang's location again on a sword.

"That person really wasn't hiding here? I clearly saw him disappear into the forest earlier."

"This person is very cautious; perhaps he has already fled far away. Let it go."

The sound of several people talking could be heard, and then they rode the wind and disappeared again.

Chen Wang remained calm and composed. An ordinary person might have quietly left or used their Divine Sense to investigate, but Chen Wang did nothing. He remained hidden in one place, like an old monk in deep meditation.

After a long time, someone broke through the sky again.

Chen Wang's heart skipped a beat. These bastards!

This time they also failed to find any trace of Chen Wang and could only leave disappointed.

Chen Wang lingered here for a long time, and the time it took for the Sandalwood Bracelet to change its appearance had already passed.

He took out the Facial Mask he had bought on the Black Market, put it on, and then quietly left the forest.

"Something really happened to the Red Cloud Sect. Could it be that the sect has been destroyed?"

Chen Wang thought to himself.

Chen Wang didn't alert anyone. After the Sandalwood Bracelet regained its power, he concealed himself again and quietly headed to the Market.

However, they found many people patrolling the Market.

At this moment, the disciples of the Red Cloud Sect Disciple were nowhere to be seen; instead, there were black-clad cultivators with Sha Qi and fierce expressions.

Some of them had tokens hanging from their waists, exactly the same as the tokens Chen Wang had previously obtained from the Profound Yin Sect.

Many places in the Market have been destroyed, and the wandering monks who lived there have disappeared.

There were no vendors setting up stalls here; a curfew had been imposed.

Chen Wang glanced around discreetly a few times and could only shake his head inwardly. "There are no independent cultivators here. If you want to sneak in, you can only disguise yourself as a disciple of the Profound Yin Sect."

However, Chen Wang was extremely patient, and he did not choose to do that.

He observed from the sidelines for a long time, and when the three Profound Yin Sect disciples were separated and returned to the mountain to hand them over, Chen Wang decisively prepared to ambush them on the way.

His Sword Nurturing Gourd contains the Golden Wind Sword, which can destroy magical Law Artifact and is most suitable for sneak attacks.

The Show Overlord Sword and the Green Ox Sword are not something these disciples can handle.

Although there were only three people on the other side, Chen Wang was unsure what talismans they possessed.

Previously, he had seen that the Profound Yin Sect disciple in Yellow Wind Mountain was able to withstand his Sword Qi.

Chen Wang patted the Orange Cat's head, letting it carry a medicinal herb and run past the three people.

Among the three, a middle-aged man with a sinister face saw an Orange Cat carrying a spirit medicine.

That spirit medicine was no ordinary spirit medicine; it was a Purple Spirit Mushroom.

They were immediately intrigued and chased after him.

This Orange Cat was incredibly fast; even Chen Wang's previous agility Movement Method couldn't keep up with it, and the distance between them remained constant.

These three disciples of the Profound Yin Sect were only Qi Refining stage cultivators, so they couldn't catch up with it.

Soon the three of them were led to a remote mountain by the spirit cat.

The cultivator who first noticed the Orange Cat carrying the Purple Spirit Mushroom in its mouth suddenly felt a sharp gust of wind.

He turned his head and saw a dazzling golden light piercing through the air. He instinctively raised his hand to block it and activated the talismans on his body, but his protective shield was instantly pierced through, and his palm was also pierced, leaving it a bloody mess. Then the golden light pierced directly through his forehead.

The cultivator didn't even utter a sound before collapsing into a pool of blood.

The other two turned around upon hearing the sound, and Chen Wang immediately activated the Soul-Seizing Red Pearl and the Soul Summoning Bell.

With the unleashing of two magical Law Treasure capable of Soul Attack, the two men's eyes immediately went blank. The other man, in the instant he turned his head, felt a sharp pain in his head! It was the Orange Cat that had put down the Ganoderma lucidum in its mouth and pounced over in a blur! With a bang, it smashed into his head, and the man's eyes rolled back, and he immediately fainted.

This Orange Cat's speed is truly surprising.

Chen Wang immediately subdued the two by using the Soul-Seizing Red Pearl and the Soul-Summoning Spirit.

In fact, there was no need to be so careful. With his Law Power, the impact would be enough to make the two of them dizzy and in excruciating pain.

However, Chen Wang still used the magic Law Artifact first with caution, without making any sound.

He approached a man and struck the man's Qi Sea with a palm, destroying the man's dantian.

The man's Law Power instantly dissipated, turning him into a mortal.

One was knocked unconscious, one was crippled, and the other was killed by Chen Wang in an instant, eliminating three Profound Yin Sect cultivators.

Chen Wang stepped forward and repeated the attack. Seeing the unconscious cultivator, he was somewhat surprised by the Orange Cat's speed and attack power.

He then destroyed the man's dantian with a single palm strike.

He collected the bodies of the deceased Profound Yin Sect disciples, then picked up the two men in his hands and quickly disappeared into the mountains.

Arriving at a secluded spot, he lifted a person up and used his Soul Searching Technique.

The Soul Searching Technique was extremely painful to perform. Although most of the Profound Yin Sect disciples had trained their souls, it was of no use against Chen Wang, a Foundation Establishment Realm cultivator. Their memories were quickly read by Chen Wang, their souls disintegrated, and they died a violent death.

Chen Wang obtained some fragmented memories from his mind.

The other person was startled awake, but was instantly knocked unconscious by Chen Wang's Divine Sense.

Chen Wang used his Soul Searching Art to forcibly read the memories of the two people and also learned about the current situation.

"The Red Cloud Sect is indeed gone."

His lips twitched involuntarily.

He went out for a trial on his own, and when he came back, the sect was gone.

He took a deep breath, trying to process these memories and pick out what was useful to him.

The Golden Core Old Ancestor of the Red Cloud Sect was killed.

One of them had witnessed the battle up close.

Chen Wang learned from the images reflected in his memory that there were not only two people who made the move that day, but also a third person.

"Feng Lin's intelligence told me that there are only two Golden Core Stage experts. However, the Profound Yin Sect would not go to the trouble of sending three people to deal with a Red Cloud Sect Old Ancestor is about to die."

"The identity of this third person is worth pondering."

Chen Wang couldn't help but think of the Mystic Machine True Immortal from Dragon Head Mountain a few days ago, dressed in a black robe and exuding an air of otherworldly grace.

"Could it be him?"

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

The entire gate of the Red Cloud Sect has now been occupied.

Among the various forces, one cultivation Lineage betrayed the Red Cloud Sect and joined its ranks, but was also wiped out by the Profound Yin Sect in that battle.

"It seems that both sides have planted spies in their respective sects, but the Profound Yin Sect has a larger influence and a deeper reach."

Chen Wang muttered to himself.

Some of the Foundation Establishment elders of the Red Cloud Sect were also killed in battle, with only a few escaping.

The Profound Yin Sect is also posting portraits and pursuing Wang Yue, among them.

Upon learning this, Chen Wang felt a sense of relief.

"Old Wang is indeed very steady; he was able to escape even in a battle that could destroy a sect."

Moreover, Chen Wang also noticed that there was a woman on the wanted list.

"Su Jie also escaped."

He did not know the other two people.

It seems that Elder Luo and Elder Qin, whom I knew well, have both died in battle.

The sect leader Guo Tianci, whom I had never met, was also dead.

Many people from the Red Cloud Sect died this time.

The blood that flowed that day gathered on the ground into small rivers; it truly was a river of blood.

The territory of the Red Cloud Sect has now been completely taken over by the Profound Yin Sect, and martial law has been imposed on the entire area.

The search and arrest of the remnants of the Red Cloud Sect Red Cloud Sect, as well as the forces affiliated with it.

This war had been planned for a long time, and once it broke out, it was a matter of life and death.

There must have been other methods involved, some high-level maneuvering, but these ordinary Profound Yin Sect disciples were unaware of them.

However, Chen Wang also learned a crucial piece of information from their memories.

"It's not just about territory, it's also about a Law Treasure."

According to their recollections, after they conquered the Red Cloud Sect and slaughtered its Red Cloud Sect Disciple, they also searched extensively for a treasure within its walls.

It is said to be a real Law Treasure, a small golden flag, but no one has found it now.

Chen Wang disposed of the bodies cleanly and efficiently.

"Dragon Head Mountain is indeed unreliable. Old Wang is asking me to leave at this time, is he deliberately trying to get rid of me?"

Chen Wang's heart stirred.

He took a deep breath. Old Wang had always told him that if anything happened, he should run away and not fight to the death for the sect.

Moreover, he has revealed more than once that he is not satisfied with the work of the Red Cloud Sect's Old Ancestor.

Now that the Red Cloud Sect has been destroyed, Old Wang has also escaped and left.

After thinking for a moment, Chen Wang also decided to leave this place.

"Let's go check out Zheng Kang Kingdom's Black Market first, then find a place to cultivate properly."

Chen Wang thought to himself.

He did not use his sword-controlling technique ostentatiously, but instead quietly left the mountains and wilderness.

Only after he had gone quite a distance did Chen Wang summon the Show Overlord Sword and fly away.

He was only accompanied by his Orange Cat.

"Something must have happened at the Red Cloud Sect. Now that Old Wang is gone, there's no point in him staying here."

Chen Wang had long anticipated the events at the Red Cloud Sect; sooner or later, trouble would break out there, and war would inevitably erupt.

I just wanted to learn more and acquire more resources here.

Now Chen Wang has left all alone, intending to start anew in a different place.

When Chen Wang arrived at the Black Market of the Zheng Kang Kingdom, looking at the pavilions and towers in front of him, and the bustling streets full of people, his eyes couldn't help but be momentarily dazed.

"Although it's called the Black Market Ghost Market, this place actually looks damn clean."

The thought crossed Chen Wang's mind, and he couldn't help but gasp in astonishment.
