Zhang Rongfang breathed a sigh of relief, realizing he had gotten away with it this time.
But he knew from Shang Dingye's gaze that this man hated him and would definitely keep a close eye on him next time.
'Trouble!'
He roughly assessed in his mind whether he could kill Shang Dingye.
But aside from the initial Kong Wu, he had never fought to the death with the other two Worship God Grandmaster, and he didn't know what level the others were at.
According to Zuo Han's account, Kong Wu had only just entered the Grandmaster level and immediately began Worship God. His level of attainment was likely not high.
However, Zhang Rongfang felt that so much time had passed since he killed Kong Wu, and his Blood Flesh Completion had also improved somewhat.
I am stronger than before.
Therefore, the only way to determine who is stronger is to fight them.
Inside the Inn, as Shangguan Feihe withdrew his imposing aura and left, everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
Several people cast admiring glances at Zhang Rongfang.
"Impressive!" A young Daoist priest with his hair tied in many small braids approached and whispered to Zhang Rongfang.
"I'm just standing on the side of reason, nothing special," Zhang Rongfang shook his head.
"That's true, but under the pressure from Prefecture Lord Shangguan, you were still able to stand up to him like this. That's not something an ordinary person could do!" The Daoist shook his head and gave a thumbs up.
"Do you know how strong Prefecture Lord Shangguan is?" He looked around and whispered.
"How strong?" Zhang Rongfang's heart stirred, and he suddenly thought that perhaps he could find out the true strength comparison between Shangguan Feihe and Shang Dingye, especially the latter, from these old people who had been in the Jade Void Palace for many years.
After all, with the accumulation of time, many records of their actions will eventually be passed down. How could a martial artist lack opportunities to make a move? "Prefecture Lord Shangguan is a ruthless person who dares to go against the Palace Master. He is the number one among the twelve prefectures."
There's a record of this. There was Great Grandmaster from the Thousand Sect Alliance who, due to the deaths of his nephews and nieces, incurred the wrath of the Shangguan Family and went to war. In the final battle, that Great Grandmaster couldn't even last an incense stick's time against Prefecture Lord Shangguan." The Daoist priest explained in a low voice.
He looked around and added.
"Actually, if you're older, you should have heard of the Great Grandmaster of the Thousand Sect Alliance. He was Right Divine Protector Xue Che of the Sensing Gate."
"Right Divine Protector?" Zhang Rongfang was slightly taken aback.
Since befriending Zuo Han, his understanding of Sensing Gate has grown day by day.
The entire Sensing Gate is actually a much larger and more powerful organization than the Thousand Sect Alliance, the Western Sect, the Eastern Sect, the Heaven Lock Sect, and so on.
From top to bottom, the Sensing Gate depict the Moon King and the Moon Empress.
Next came the two guardian deities, the left and right.
Next are the Four Seasons Envoys and the five Five Weapon Kings.
Then there are the Five Regions Thirteen Sects.
The Taiqing Lineage, the Thousand Stone Sect, and others are members of the Five Regions Thirteen Sects.
The four major forces of Spring Summer Autumn Winter belong to the Four Seasons Envoys.
However, since the Four Seasons Envoys mysteriously disappeared and was suspected of being killed, his forces have fallen apart.
The Five Regions Thirteen Sects to which the Thousand Stone Sect belongs are still barely alive, but they have to hide in the shadows because of suppression.
"The Sensing Gate was a powerful force, but after we defeated it head-on, it disintegrated and went into hiding. Xue Che, as the Right Divine Protector, defected to the Thousand Sect Alliance, but was later killed by Prefecture Lord Shangguan."
"So you say how powerful he is?" The Daoist priest shook his head, full of praise.
Are Great Grandmaster also considered strong?
Zhang Rongfang sighed inwardly.
Why is it that in the novels I read in my past life, the opponents the protagonists encountered were only slightly stronger than them, making it easier for them to level up? But in my life, it's like facing the final challenge right away. Without even thinking, he guessed that Shangguan Feihe was no match for him.
Someday in the future, he may far surpass this person.
But right now, he might not even be able to withstand a slap from the other party.
A powerful figure among the Worship God Great Grandmaster. Just think back to the demonstration by Grandmaster Uncle Jin Yuyan, and you'll know how terrifying he is in actual combat.
"But let me tell you, as long as you follow his rules, Prefecture Lord Shangguan won't act rashly."
Those who follow the rules the most are the ones he appreciates the most. He himself acts in this way. Merit is rewarded, and mistakes are punished. The Daoist priest explained softly.
"Thank you for your explanation, fellow Daoist. May I ask your name?" Zhang Rongfang asked, clasping his hands in greeting.
"My name is Ding Wuyou. My Daoist Title is also Wuyou," the Daoist introduced himself. "After today's massacre of the city, we should be heading to the next stop soon. What I admire most about you is someone with extraordinary courage like Brother Zhang."
"You're too kind. Brother Wuyou is the same. Look at the others. Knowing that I offended Master Shang, they all hurriedly distanced themselves from me." Zhang Rongfang shook his head. "Only Brother Ding."
"My Ding Family is one of the Twelve Prefectures, and we are not afraid of the Shang Family. We are old rivals, so it's no big deal," Ding Wuyou replied. "However, Shang Dingye is narrow-minded. He will not let this go after suffering a loss in silence. Qiankun, it would be best to be careful in your actions recently."
"Thank you for reminding me, Brother Ding. I understand now." Zhang Rongfang nodded.
The group didn't stay at the Inn for long before Shangguan Feihe sent someone to notify everyone to gather outside the city.
Some were left behind again, leaving only fifteen people among those who had set off together.
The group gradually made its way towards its final destination, Ning An Prefecture.
Shang Dingye was speechless after being rebuked by Zhang Rongfang, and he was furious. He was now trying to figure out how to get back at Zhang Rongfang.
Suddenly, he thought of something.
'Wait, since the people that kid saved were the very people he was willing to kill all the soldiers present for, that means those people are very important to him. So, it seems we should start with those people.'
Shang Dingye was certain.
If the tunnel is still there, we can force it open, go inside, and reach another exit.
Perhaps we can find some clues.
He immediately pulled over one of the Shang Family and whispered a few instructions to him.
The man nodded, then discreetly retreated and disappeared into the Woodland.
Zhang Rongfang also noticed the man's departure and frowned slightly.
He could guess without even thinking that this person was looking for clues about his master, Zhang Xuan, and the others.
If we keep going down that tunnel, we might actually find them.
He was slightly worried, but it was no use.
They could only hope that Xiao Qingying and the others wouldn't be discovered by that Daoist priest.
Amidst Green Mountain Forest.
After leaving the County Town, the group of fifteen, led by Shangguan Feihe, headed towards their final destination.
Everyone, including Zhang Rongfang, accelerated purely on foot. "Oh, right," Shang Dingye suddenly said softly.
"Since Qiankun Daozi was so proactive just now, then in the final battle later, Daozi shouldn't hide in the back. Let's all join in the attack. Anyway, with Super Grade strength, we're safe in the city."
Zhang Rongfang remained silent, offering no reply. This was a loophole.
He was initially reluctant to harm innocent people, but later said that he had his eye on a woman who was robbed, which enraged him and led him to kill her.
The inconsistencies are as follows.
Ning Hongli, on the other hand, frowned.
"Heaven and Earth was brought here to broaden his horizons and gain experience; he doesn't necessarily have to take action personally. Shang Dingye, are you deliberately causing trouble? Don't forget whose disciple he is!?"
"Hey," Shang Dingye was about to speak.
Suddenly, a Black Eagle circled down from a distance and gently landed on Shangguan Feihe's raised right arm.
"Black White Swift Hawk!?"
When they saw the eagle, everyone was stunned, and their hearts sank.
In general, within the Great Dao Sect, ordinary messenger birds are used for communication, but different birds are used in different regions.
After all, different places have different climates and environments, and different birds are suitable for raising.
In Great Ling, there are many kinds of messenger birds.
But even Shangguan Feihe's expression darkened the moment he saw the eagle.
"Only extremely important and critical news will require the use of the Black White Swift Hawk! This is troublesome." Ning Hongli's expression was solemn, and her tone was filled with deep worry.
Upon hearing Zhang Rongfang understood the importance of this messenger bird. His heart sank slightly.
His first thought was of his Grandmaster Uncle and others who were heading to Great Capital.
I hope nothing bad has happened to my master.
He had a bad feeling.
Hiss.
Shangguan Feihe took off the Bamboo Tube, opened it immediately, poured out the Paper Scroll inside, and slowly unfurled it.
Just for a moment when I saw the above content.
His pupils contracted sharply, and even the hand of Worship God Great Grandmaster trembled violently.
"Heavenly Treasure Palace Attack?! Yue Dewen's Fall?!"
The group slowed down, stopped, and stood still, not moving an inch.
On both sides are deep, dark bamboo forests, and a chill sweeps in from both sides.
But this slight chill was nothing compared to the coldness that Zhang Rongfang felt in his heart at that moment.
"Prefecture Lord!" He suddenly stepped forward, clasped his hands in greeting to Shangguan Feihe, and said, "Are you referring to my master's side just now?!"
He doubted he had heard correctly and wanted to double-check! "You heard right." Shangguan Feihe's face also showed considerable shock. "The Heavenly Treasure Palace Attack and the incident involving Yue Sect Leader have happened several days ago, on the day of the Great Ling Imperial Clan Ceremony."
He glanced at Zhang Rongfang and took a deep breath.
"Although I'm reluctant to admit it, the news mentions that True One and the people of the Western Sect discovered the mutilated corpse of Yue Sect Leader in the Suburbs. Everyone has confirmed that it is indeed the Grand Master."
A sudden, deafening roar followed.
Zhang Rongfang felt as if something had exploded in his ears, and for a moment he couldn't hear anything.
All he could think about was Shangguan Feihe's words.
The corpse of Yue Dewen?!
"Yue Sect Leader actually mentioned some time ago that he wasn't feeling well and his skills were declining. After all, he's over ninety, almost a hundred years old. In any case, being able to maintain this level is already very impressive, no matter what."
Shangguan Feihe seemed to be comforting him.
But at this moment, Zhang Rongfang could barely hear anything.
He closed his eyes slightly, his heart was racing, his breathing was quickening, and his whole body was burning up.
A strange feeling welled up inside me.
"Excuse me, did the news report mention how he died?" Zhang Rongfang's voice was low and slightly hoarse.
"Can you confirm that the corpse is indeed his?"
He couldn't believe that old man Yue Dewen could die so easily and simply. With that guy's cunning and scheming, how could it be possible!
How could he have died so easily?
"It was murder. The traces left at the scene were messy, but the information mentioned that at least five Great Grandmaster surrounded him. And they were all at their peak."
Shangguan Feihe sighed.
He looked at Zhang Rongfang, who was standing there blankly. He gently shook his head.
He knew that with Yue Dewen dead, Zhang Ying Daozi, who had been under his protection, would face a storm of oppression.
Yue Dewen's former enemies and rivals might not deign to lay a hand on a junior like him.
However, Zhang Ying herself was blocked by many enemies because of her identity Daozi disciple. There were also many opponents who were wary of her because of Yue Dewen.
Now, we will never let this opportunity slip by.
"Don't worry, with me here, no one can touch you," Shangguan Feihe said in a deep voice.
"Yue Dewen is not bad, but in terms of strength, I am still much stronger."
"Thank you, thank you, Prefecture Lord Shangguan." Zhang Rongfang took a deep breath and clasped his hands in thanks.
He opened his eyes, a resolute glint in them.
"Regardless, we need to confirm whether my master is really dead! I don't believe he could be killed so easily!"
"So, what are you going to do? Go to Great Capital?" Shangguan Feihe said in a deep voice, "Impossible. Great Capital is in complete chaos right now. Going there would be suicide. Those people even dared to attack your master, let alone you."
"Of course not, I know my own limitations. But I will never believe he is dead until I see his body with my own eyes!" Zhang Rongfang said firmly.
