Gathered at Tiangang Sect, Those Who Dare Disrespect Senior Brother Ning Must Die

Looking at the three corpses displayed in the Heavenly Gang Hall, Jiang Chenghuan's face was terribly gloomy, as if he were about to drip water.

"Didn't you say there were four people? How come there are only three corpses?" His words sounded like they were being squeezed out from between his teeth.

An Primordial Spirit Realm cautiously said:

"At the time, these four people rushed into the Mountain Gate recklessly, extremely ferocious, and slaughtered indiscriminately. In a fit of rage, I smashed one of them to dust. It wasn't until I realized something was wrong..."

He hadn't finished speaking.

The main hall was engulfed in a raging storm; the terrifying pressure caused cracks to appear in the pillars. Jiang Chenghuan's eyes were like those of a predatory beast, fixed intently on the elder who had spoken.

"Do you even know what killing a disciple of the Boundless Sword Sect means?!"

If it weren't for the fact that he needed manpower right now, he would have loved to slap this good-for-nothing who was more trouble than he was worth.

Everyone fell silent, terrified.

At the same time, I felt a chill run down my spine.

Wuji Sword Sect.

That was one of the top ten sects in the Northern Xuan Region, and its strength was among the best of the top ten sects. Those sword cultivators were always very arrogant. If they knew that their disciples had died in the Heavenly Gang Sect, then the Heavenly Gang Sect would face its doom.

Although these four disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect came to our door for no reason, who would listen to your explanation?

In the Northern Xuan Domain, no, in the Mountain and Sea Realm, weakness is the original sin.

Jiang Chenghuan took several deep breaths to suppress his rage, then stared at everyone with a grim expression:

"This absolutely cannot be leaked! Who were the people who witnessed this scene?"

Li Linghe whispered:

"Those are the disciples guarding the mountain."

Jiang Chenghuan didn't speak, but merely glanced at Li Linghe coldly. Li Linghe bowed slightly, indicating that he understood.

"This is a critical moment for the survival of our Heavenly Gang Sect. We must unite as one and overcome this difficulty together. Then, the Heavenly Gang Sect will truly take off!"

Everyone felt a chill run down their spines.

Currently, various rumors about the Heavenly Gang Sect are circulating in the cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu, which is extremely detrimental.

Jiang Chenghuan was already considering taking a risky gamble.

Since everyone's just speculating, why not strike first?

He has already planned to gather the strength of the entire sect to begin preparations for conquering the Jiazi 1673 small world, but this will take a little time.

"Next, we will focus all our efforts on dispelling the rumors and cancel all disciples' field missions."

"Yes, Sect Master!"

The entire Heavenly Gang Sect began to operate.

Like a massive war machine.

In fact.

In the Mountain and Sea Realm, most immortal sects are equivalent to war machines. Almost every sect has a record of conquering small worlds. After all, there are countless small worlds under the Mountain and Sea Realm, and new small worlds are born every moment. Even if the immortal sects conquer with all their might, it is only a very small part of them.

At this moment, the Wuji Sword Sect...

Five Elements Peak.

Ning Qi slowly opened his eyes.

He carefully sensed the Enlightenment Tree and discovered that four cocoons of light on it were slowly breaking apart. This meant that the reincarnated soul of the Mountain and Sea Realm had been destroyed. The four True Martial experts opened their eyes. Their auras were extremely weak, but there was no regret in their eyes. Instead, there was excitement.

Because they chose to die.

These four people were naturally the four disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect who had taken the initiative to attack the Heavenly Gang Sect.

Seven years ago.

After Ning Qi and Zhuang Chen gathered together, they secretly summoned several powerful figures from the True Martial Realm to the Wuji Sword Sect and recruited them into the Five Elements Peak.

Seven years later, it will be time for them to come in handy.

Everything was simply to have a legitimate reason for taking action.

Even though Wuji Sword Saint is a member of a prestigious sect, he cannot act recklessly, lest other sects find fault with him.

certainly.

Ning Qi wasn't letting these four people die for nothing.

now.

A majestic Daoist voice resounded in the minds of the four powerful figures from the True Martial:

"You have all rendered meritorious service; each of you shall receive an additional one hundred great merits."

The brief words made all four of them tremble with excitement.

We thank the Realm Lord!

The Enlightenment Tree has developed a complete merit system, divided into minor merit, medium merit, and major merit, with a ratio of one hundred to one between them. One hundred major merits may not seem like much, but in reality, they are more than enough for the four people to fully repair their souls and further improve their cultivation. They can even exchange some for treasures and Divine Ability.

Moreover, they will have priority in being reincarnated again.

It can be said that...

This mission was a classic example of low risk and high reward. The group of them had put in a lot of effort to secure this opportunity. The only downside was that they wouldn't be able to return to the Mountain and Sea Realm for a while, and all their previous accumulation there would be wasted.

But it's worth it!

Ning Qi smiled slightly.

As the Enlightenment Tree system becomes more and more complete, everything is driven by merit and based on equivalent exchange. He can increasingly feel the benefits of this method, which can greatly unleash the enthusiasm and potential of the beings in the True Martial Realm.

Since the establishment of the True Martial True Martial ago, its development has been nothing short of rapid and dramatic.

It's no exaggeration to say that it's a hundred times or a thousand times greater than before.

And it brought him numerous benefits.

Three years ago.

Ning Qi received the first spiritual treasure from the creatures of the True Martial, which was also a spiritual sword.

The one who offered up this spirit sword was an old acquaintance of Ning Qi's, the former Martial Saint Thunder.

This guy has incredible luck. With only the Purple Mansion Realm cultivation, he unexpectedly received the Inheritance of a great Sword Dao. After offering the spirit sword, Ning Qi was naturally generous and rewarded him with a full 10,000 merits. These merits are enough for him to cultivate smoothly all the way to the Perfection of the Primordial Spirit Realm.

Its value is in no way inferior to that of a spirit sword.

Upon learning this news, many beings in the martial arts world became even more enthusiastic.

For them, the reincarnation of the Mountain and Sea Realm and the acquisition of the spirit sword are not that useful, since their original body is in the True Martial, and a strong original body is the best thing.

Besides that.

There are also some fragments of spiritual treasures, or other treasures containing a small amount of rule power. When added together, they are roughly equivalent to several spiritual treasures. However, the rule imprints contained within are not all sword rules.

But Ning Qi wasn't in a hurry.

This is a good start. As more and more beings from the True Martial Realm emerge in the Mountain and Sea Realm, and their cultivation levels increase, the speed at which they collect spiritual treasures will only explode exponentially.

At that time.

Rule Realm is just around the corner.

In addition to the tangible gains, initial signs of improved understanding of the Dao are also emerging.

The thoughts and ideas of countless beings can be amplified through the Enlightenment Tree, making Ning Qi's foundation incredibly abundant. If he wants to deduce something, the speed is much, much faster than before, and there are also many more directions to explore.

Without the Enlightenment Tree, even with his Max-Level Comprehension, it would have taken him a tremendous amount of time—perhaps a thousand years—to deduce such an unprecedentedly powerful system as the World Lord System. But now, it takes far less time.

As numerous thoughts raced through his mind, Ning Qi's powerful aura vanished in a flash.

The few disciples sitting cross-legged around them True Disciple filled with shock, and the following thoughts flashed through their minds:

"Senior Brother Ning has become even stronger. He probably already possesses the strength of one of the Ten True Disciple, or even more!"

In eight years, Ning Qi gained six more True Disciple.

They witnessed Qin Minghao's terrifying progress. Before following Ning Qi, Qin Minghao was only True Disciple- level disciple, but now, in just eight years, he has already advanced to the middle level. It should be noted that many True Disciple may not make such great progress even after hundreds or thousands of years.

Qin Minghao spoke respectfully:

"Senior Brother Ning, is there something you need us to do?"

He was completely devoted to Ning Qi and utterly loyal to him.

He knew he didn't have any outstanding qualities; his only advantage was his diligence and his duty as a lackey.

Everyone bowed their heads respectfully.

Ning Qi smiled, his hands behind his back:

"Come with me to the cultivation Immortal Realm of the Chu Kingdom."

Hou Minghao's eyes lit up.

He remembered something and immediately transmitted his voice. Five Elements Peak immediately sprang into action, and powerful disciples quickly appeared outside the main hall, standing respectfully.

Ning Qi didn't say anything, he just waved.

A treasure ship shimmering with three-colored light appeared in the sky. He stepped into it, followed closely by his many disciples.

The treasure ship soared into the sky, drawing speculative glances:

Where has Ning True Disciple gone?

The cultivation Immortal Realm of the Chu Kingdom.

In the blink of an eye.

A month has passed.

Rumors began to circulate, giving rise to various versions, including those about the Heavenly Gang Sect, the Wind and Thunder Hall, and the Black Demon Sect which had been reduced to dust. News of secret realms also surfaced from time to time, some true and some false.

Numerous sects and Rogue Cultivator were thrown into chaos, and many low-profile Bandit Cultivator to loot.

Many cultivators clearly sensed that something was wrong.

The cultivation Immortal Realm in Chu Kingdom descended into chaos far too quickly and hastily, as if an invisible hand was manipulating everything from behind. Some naturally cautious cultivators fled in terror, braving mountains and rivers to escape the strife, but many more were blinded by rage and became deeply entangled in it.

Especially the various sects.

It's completely chaotic.

However, today...

The most distressing situation belongs to the Heavenly Gang Sect.

At this moment, before Heavenly Gang Peak, streaks of light stopped and surrounded it. Cultivators exuding powerful auras stood in the void, their gazes fixed coldly on Heavenly Gang Sect.

Separated by the sect's protective array.

The members of the Heavenly Gang Sect glared at each other angrily.

"Tianji Sect, Fenglei Hall, Chiyang Sect, Hutou Ridge... what do you want to do!" Jiang Chenghuan shouted coldly. He felt extremely heavy-hearted. The newcomers were not friendly. These people had actually formed an alliance without anyone noticing. Today would probably not be a peaceful day.

Feng Lei True Lord chuckled and said:

"I just wanted to verify some things with Sect Leader Jiang."

Jiang Chenghuan's gaze sharpened.

He hadn't spoken yet.

Another True Lord wielding a giant axe roared:

"Enough with the nonsense! We're here today for the coordinates of the small world you possess. Jiang Chenghuan, you treacherous villain! Our Demon-Slaying Alliance wiped out the Black Demon Sect, and you secretly hid our most precious treasure!"

This Giant Axe True Lord followed the path of body refinement and possessed a fierce aura, but he was so busy fighting that he didn't gain much, which he held a grudge about ever since.

Now that they know the Heavenly Gang Sect has secretly kept such a benefit a secret, they are even more furious.

Li Linghe's heart skipped a beat, and he stepped forward:

"True Lord Giant Axe, you are mistaken. I went to the Black Demon Sect with you all back then. You all saw with your own eyes that we dug three feet into the ground but found no coordinates for the so-called small world. Now, suddenly, rumors are circulating that my Heavenly Gang Sect has coordinates. Isn't that nonsense? It's all just a rumor."

His words were earnest, and his gaze sincere.

"Gentlemen, the cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu is currently in turmoil. There is an unseen hand manipulating things behind the scenes. We must remember not to fall into the trap of treacherous people."

Outside the sect, the Primordial Spirit Realm True Lord all sneered.

"Are you trying to fool a three-year-old?" the Giant True Lord roared. "Then tell me, what's the deal with Hou Yuan, the True Disciple of the Black Demon Sect? And... don't tell me your Heavenly Gang Sect has been secretly stockpiling resources just for playing house?"

His expression was ferocious, and the giant axe in his hand gleamed with black light, as if he was about to strike at any moment.

The members of the Heavenly Gang Sect paled.

I have absolutely no idea why top-secret information always ends up in other people's hands.

Among the crowd, several discreet gazes, tinged with amusement, quietly retreated to the back.

Feng Lei True Lord waved his hand and laughed:

"Great Axe True Lord, please calm down. There must be some misunderstanding here. As far as I know, this small world is not simple. The Golden Spirit Sect and the Black Demon Sect have both suffered setbacks. With the strength of the Heavenly Gang Sect, it is probably not enough to take it down."

"We are here today not to coerce the Heavenly Gang Sect, but simply to seek cooperation."

"With the combined strength of our twelve sects, flattening this small world would be a piece of cake. Sharing happiness is better than keeping it to ourselves. I urge Brother Jiang to consider this carefully; it would be a good thing for Heavenly Gang Sect and us."

Everyone behind him was staring intently at him.

The members of the Heavenly Gang Sect felt aggrieved.

A moment later.

Jiang Chenghuan began to speak:

What if I don't agree?

Feng Lei True Lord didn't speak, but just smiled slightly. The auras of many Primordial Spirit Realm True Lord surged, and the surrounding space was sealed off, as if the sky were collapsing.

Jiang Chenghuan took a deep breath and said coldly:

"Since you already know, I'll be frank: the coordinates of the small world are indeed in the hands of the Heavenly Gang Sect."

Everyone's eyes lit up, and they all smiled.

Jiang Chenghuan continued:

"If you want a share, you can, but let's make it clear beforehand: my Heavenly Gang Sect needs to take 50% of the profits. As for the rest, you can distribute it among yourselves, but you must swear an oath to the Heavenly Dao. If you agree, then of course we can cooperate; if you don't, then we'll fight to the death!"

His eyes were cold, and the numerous disciples of the Heavenly Gang Sect behind him echoed his aura, displaying an attitude of "rather die than surrender".

The many True Lord outside the formation were enraged.

"Arrogant! Ridiculous!"

"What kind of strength do you take your Heavenly Gang Sect for? You think you can take 50% for yourself?"

"I see you still haven't faced reality. You won't learn your lesson until you're faced with death. Don't wait until your sect is destroyed and you're all dead before you realize your mistake!"

The threats were no longer veiled in any way.

The remaining eleven cases would split the profits equally, which meant that one case wouldn't even get half a share. This was much less than they had imagined, so naturally they wouldn't accept it.

Feng Lei True Lord stared coldly:

"Sect Leader Jiang, please don't speak out of anger. It's true that the coordinates of the small world are in your possession, but 50% of the profits is too much. How about this, I can make a decision for everyone: your Heavenly Gang Sect will receive an extra 50% of the profits, and the rest will be divided equally among the twelve sects. What do you say?"

Jiang Chenghuan laughed in anger.

Half a percent profit?

A bunch of robbers, they're really bullying us!

"Don't even think about it! At worst, I'll destroy the coordinates of this small world, then nobody will be able to get them!"

Feng Lei True Lord gradually lost patience, and he calmly said:

"It seems we need to make Sect Leader Jiang realize the current situation."

Many Primordial Spirit Realm True Lord, who had been unable to restrain themselves any longer, unleashed their auras simultaneously. In an instant, a vast amount of spiritual power converged, producing a thunderous sound. Strands of Nascent Primordial Spirit power tore through the sky, and the entire Heavenly Gang Sect was shrouded in a suppressed aura.

Jiang Chenghuan's expression changed drastically.

He didn't really want to break off relations; he just wanted to gain more benefits.

If a real fight breaks out, even with the sect's protective formation, the outcome won't be good.

But now that things have come to this point, we have to demonstrate our strength, otherwise we won't be able to get a share of the profits.

His eyes turned cold.

But then a faint voice echoed above the Heavenly Gang Sect:

"It's quite lively."

Many Primordial Spirit Realm True Lord paused for a moment, then subconsciously looked over.

Then, a treasure ship radiating three-colored spiritual light appeared on the horizon, and the calm voice came from above. Some True Lord with extraordinary knowledge narrowed their pupils, realizing that this treasure ship was clearly stronger than an ordinary high-grade Law Treasure.

The Giant Axe True Lord manifested his ten-thousand-foot-tall Dharma form, about to furiously cleave the great formation, but was interrupted by this sudden sound, leaving him momentarily at a loss. He roared:

"Where did this nobody come from? You're asking for death!"

The colossal axe reversed its direction and cleaved towards the three-colored treasure ship.

A cold, angry shout rang out:

"Disrespectful to Senior Brother Ning deserves execution!"

The words had barely left his mouth.

A dazzling sword light rose up, like a long river piercing the sky, cleaving the wind and cutting through the moon. The incredibly solid Primordial Spirit power within it shocked everyone. The sword light struck the giant axe, forcefully sending it flying backward. Not only that, the sword light's power remained undiminished as it slashed towards the avatar of the Giant Axe True Lord.

The sword light split into countless forms, cutting through the clouds and cleaving the sky.

The Giant Axe True Lord let out a miserable scream. Cracks appeared on his ten-thousand-foot-tall Dharma Image, and it shattered into dust with a bang. His true form reappeared, and the Giant Axe True Lord caught the shrunken giant axe that flew back, his expression filled with terror.

The moment the swordsman made his move, he knew that the person who drew the sword was no ordinary individual.

Both were at the Primordial Spirit Realm, but the quality of the other party's power was far superior to his, indicating that the other party must have possessed a profound Inheritance. This was further confirmed by the other party's previous words.

The answer is almost self-evident.

The True Disciple of the superior lineage!

A storm raged within him, and he immediately backed down.

"Giant Axe was blind to your greatness and has disturbed you. Please forgive me!"

Although it's a loss of face, life is more important.

The surrounding Primordial Spirit Realm True Lord all wore solemn expressions. The Giant Axe True Lord was no weakling among them, yet his Dharma Form was severed by a single sword strike. Such Sword Dao was terrifying, and very few True Lord present were confident they could withstand this sword strike.

Jiang Chenghuan, Li Linghe, and the others exchanged glances; their hearts were pounding uncontrollably, and they felt as if they were about to suffocate.

They had already guessed who the newcomer was.

On the three-colored treasure boat, more startling Sword Qi gathered, and the calm voice from the beginning rang out again:

"That's enough."

Everything returned to calm, and the previously ruthless swordsman respectfully said:

"Yes, Senior Brother Ning."

Cold sweat froze on the back of the Giant Axe True Lord. He gritted his teeth, severed his own left arm with a single axe stroke, and said in a low voice:

Thank you for your forgiveness!

He dared not disobey; if the other party wanted to, killing him would be an easy matter. Being spared his life was already an immense favor.

Many cultivators were shocked to see a True Lord so humble.

At the same time, curiosity arose in my heart: who exactly is this "Senior Brother Ning"?

Some people had already guessed a thing or two, and their hearts were pounding.

Amidst the intense scrutiny of the world.

The three-colored treasure boat slowly descended, towering above everyone. Celestial music floated around it, accompanied by golden light. Powerful figures came into view, most of whom possessed sharp auras. Among them were seven or eight whose individual strength was enough to make all the True Lord present wary.

But what truly took everyone's breath away was the white-clad figure surrounded by admirers.

The young man had an ordinary air about him, like a mortal. His gaze was calm, but he stared straight ahead as if looking through eternity. Yet everyone knew that this "Senior Brother Ning" was the most terrifying.

The young man who had just slain the giant axe-wielding True Lord's avatar was now bowing beside "Senior Brother Ning."

"We have met with True Disciple Ning and all the True Disciple of the Wuji Sword Sect!"

The crowd had already recognized their identities from their distinctive attire.

Wuji Sword Sect!

The few people looked at Ning Qi with even greater awe and shock. They finally knew who this "Senior Brother Ning" was. Over the years, Ning Qi had not made many moves, but he had still made a name for himself. In particular, four years ago, he killed the Primordial Spirit Great Demon "Star Devouring Toad" with a single sword, which made him known to the outside world for the first time.

Its reputation as a "divine seed" gradually spread.

Rumors circulate in the Northern Xuan Region that the Wuji Sword Sect has produced an extraordinary and peerless genius.

The legs of several True Lord of the Heavenly Gang Sect went weak, and their scalps tingled.

The people from the Wuji Sword Sect have really arrived.

As that calm and profound gaze fell upon the Heavenly Gang Sect, their hearts surged with turmoil, and they forced smiles that were more like cries on their faces.

The Wind and Thunder True Lord and the others also felt a chill run down their spines.

Originally, the purpose of gathering here today was to force the Heavenly Gang Sect to share the coordinates of the small world, but unexpectedly, such a powerful being appeared out of nowhere.

Leaving aside the fact that this True Disciple possesses considerable strength.

The most terrifying thing is the Wuji Sword Sect behind it. They dare not offend them in the slightest, otherwise, if they send a powerful expert to descend, it would be a catastrophe for the entire cultivation Immortal Realm of Chu!

"You're too kind, everyone," Ning Qi said with Ning Qi smile, giving people a feeling of warmth and comfort.

Everyone was flattered and overwhelmed.

Feng Lei True Lord cupped his hands and said:

"I have long admired Master Ning's True Disciple, but seeing him in person today, I realize how utterly wrong the rumors are. They don't even capture a fraction of Master Ning's True Disciple talent!"

The True Lord were stunned. Looking at the devout appearance of True Lord Fenglei, who seemed like a completely different person, they all cursed inwardly.

Bah! Sycophant!

Then came a barrage of flattery.

"Ning True Disciple possesses unparalleled beauty!"

"Ning True Disciple's Sword Dao is unparalleled!"

"To be able to meet True Disciple Ning is truly an honor beyond measure!"

Many cultivators were astonished to see the True Lord with their changed appearances, and they felt even more awe towards the figure surrounded by stars behind the treasure ship.

Meanwhile, many disciples of the Wuji Sword Sect held their heads high, their lips slightly curved, a sense of superiority rising in their hearts.

The True Disciple of a superior sect, if placed in the outside world, would be enough to command the respect of ordinary sect leaders, and True Disciple like Ning Qi would be even more so.

In terms of foundation, the upper sects completely crush ordinary sects, not to mention the Wuji Sword Sect, which has a long Inheritance. Back then, the Black Demon True Lord thought that he could become an upper sect after stepping into the realm of a Great Power, but in reality, that was not the case. Becoming a Great Power was just a basic requirement for becoming an upper sect.

Even disregarding powerful experts, these True Disciple are far stronger than those at the same Primordial Spirit stage.

Inheritance profound skills and Divine Ability are highly sought after by outsiders. Even Qin Minghao a few years ago would have been considered one of the best in the Primordial Spirit realm, let alone now.

"May I ask, True Disciple, what are your orders for today? We are ready to go through fire and water for you!" Feng Lei True Lord said cautiously.

Ning Qi chuckled softly but remained silent.

They simply turned their attention to the Heavenly Gang Sect.

The next moment.

The True Lord of the Heavenly Gang Sect turned deathly pale.

Oh no, they're really after us!
