A Respectful Plea for Senior to Become Our Hengyue Sect Old Ancestor! Wang Lin Descends the Mountain

"We thank Senior for saving our lives!"

Liu Wenju stared blankly at Piao Nanzi's vanishing body before dropping to his knees at once.

His voice was filled with deep gratitude.

He had thought the Hengyue Sect would be dissolved today, only to find that this mysterious Senior had slain Piao Nanzi on the spot and saved the Hengyue Sect.

"We thank Senior for saving our lives!"

The other Hengyue Sect Cultivators also fell to their knees one after another.

This included Hengyue Sect Master True Lord Huang Long.

However, as True Lord Huang Long looked at Qin Hao, a strange gleam flashed through his eyes.

"Rise, all of you!"

Qin Hao waved a hand.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Only then did everyone rise to their feet.

Liu Wenju stepped forward and respectfully said, "Senior, you saved our Hengyue Sect from this crisis. Everyone in the Hengyue Sect is willing to honor you as our Progenitor!"

He was not merely trying to flatter Qin Hao.

He sincerely hoped Qin Hao would remain at the Hengyue Sect.

The Cultivation World was a place where the strong preyed on the weak and strength was revered.

The Hengyue Sect's Nascent Soul Ancestors had all fallen. They had to find another Nascent Soul Ancestor to oversee the sect as soon as possible.

Otherwise, what Piao Nanzi had done today would surely happen again in the future.

Qin Hao politely declined. "This Seat does not intend to remain in the Zhao Kingdom for long."

Changing the subject, Qin Hao added, "However, if you can gather the materials for an Infant-Establishing Pill, I can refine one for you."

It was not because he had suddenly become softhearted, but because of Hengyue Sect Master True Lord Huang Long.

He appeared to be nothing more than a minor Foundation Establishment Cultivator.

In truth, he was the incarnation of the Four Sacred Sect's Vermilion Bird Old Holy Emperor.

He was an expert who, like Tian Yunzi, had reached Heavenly Human Decline.

At its most glorious, the Four Sacred Sect had even contended with the Cultivation Alliance for control over the entire universe.

Although the Four Sacred Sect had been defeated with the Kunxu Realm's assistance, it was still a colossal force.

If he could forge a bond with such an existence, it would certainly bring countless benefits in the future.

"What? An Infant-Establishing Pill?"

Upon hearing the name of that spiritual pill, Liu Wenju and the old woman both revealed shocked expressions.

Naturally, they had heard of this pill. Taking it while forming a Nascent Soul could greatly increase one's chances of successfully breaking through.

Such pills were exceedingly rare in Third-rank Cultivation Nations, and even Level 4 Cultivation Nations did not have many.

They had never expected this Senior before them to be capable of refining Infant-Establishing Pills.

"Thank you, Senior!"

Liu Wenju hurriedly bowed.

With an Infant-Establishing Pill, he might be able to break through to the Nascent Soul realm and become the Hengyue Sect's new Nascent Soul Ancestor.

"These are the required medicinal ingredients. Once you have gathered them, you may seek Dao Xu."

Qin Hao flicked a Jade Slip toward him, then vanished in a flash.

"Dao Xu?"

Holding the Jade Slip, Liu Wenju beckoned to Dao Xu in the distance. "Nephew Dao Xu, come here for a moment!"

With the disaster resolved, the Hengyue Sect disciples gradually left the square.

"Wang Lin, come with me."

Wang Lin was about to return to his cultivation when his master, Sun Dazhu, came looking for him.

This old fellow is probably up to no good!

A cold glint flickered in Wang Lin's eyes as he thought, If you intend to harm me, don't blame me for showing no mercy!

Sun Dazhu led Wang Lin into his room and brewed a pot of tea.

He poured Wang Lin a cup, placed it before him, and said with a smile, "Disciple, you truly kept quiet until you made a stunning debut. I never expected you to take first place in the Xuandao Sect and Hengyue Sect Grand Competition. You really brought honor to your master!"

"You flatter me, Master. I only won the competition by luck."

Wang Lin replied modestly.

"Without true strength, no amount of luck would have been enough to defeat your opponent."

Sun Dazhu smiled and pointed at the teacup. "This is the finest Spirit Tea I have kept hidden away. Even I am usually reluctant to drink it. Taste it and see what you think!"

"No, I am not thirsty right now."

Wang Lin shook his head and refused.

He had not forgotten the bowl of medicinal soup made from Spirit Transformation Grass that Sun Dazhu had given him before.

Had he not dispersed his cultivation and cultivated anew, he would never have achieved what he had today.

"A gift from an elder should not be refused!"

Sun Dazhu insisted, "This tea can calm the mind and focus the spirit. It is extremely precious. You should still have a cup!"

"Since it is so precious, Master should save it for yourself. Farewell."

Wang Lin spoke blandly and rose to his feet.

Seeing this, Sun Dazhu's face darkened.

He suddenly formed a hand seal and activated the Spirit Binding Array he had set up within the room.

Swish! Swish! Swish!

Golden chains appeared one after another, sealing off the entire room.

Wang Lin asked, "Sun Dazhu, what are you trying to do?"

"What am I trying to do?"

Sun Dazhu sneered. "For you to increase your cultivation so much in such a short time, you must possess some great treasure. Wealth moves the heart. Do not blame your master for being ruthless!"

As he spoke, he manipulated the formation, sending golden chains shooting toward Wang Lin to bind him.

To deal with Wang Lin, he had borrowed Formation Flags from his other Foundation Establishment Senior Brothers. He refused to believe he could not suppress Wang Lin.

Boom!

Yet the next moment, Wang Lin suddenly stamped his foot, and the aura of an early Foundation Establishment Cultivator instantly swept in all directions.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

In an instant, all the golden chains exploded.

With icy eyes, Wang Lin stepped toward Sun Dazhu.

"F-Foundation Establishment?"

"How is that possible?!"

Sun Dazhu's face was filled with disbelief.

He had assumed Wang Lin was merely at the Qi Condensation Stage. The Formation Flags refined by his Foundation Establishment Senior Brothers should have been more than enough to suppress him.

Yet he had never imagined that Wang Lin had already broken through to Foundation Establishment.

"Wang Lin, I am an Elder of the Hengyue Sect. You cannot kill me!"

Sun Dazhu swallowed and threatened, "If you kill me, my martial uncle Liu Wenju will definitely kill you!"

"Die!"

With a single strike, Wang Lin ended his life.

Whoosh!

Then Wang Lin used a Fireball Technique to destroy the corpse and erase all traces.

Situ Nan's voice sounded within Wang Lin's heart. "Kid, you killed an elder of the Hengyue Sect. Even if you had cause, I am afraid you cannot stay there any longer."

Wang Lin nodded. "Actually, I had already planned to leave."

During his time in the Hengyue Sect, Qin Hao had sought him out several times, each time trading spiritual pills for his Spirit Liquid.

That was precisely why Wang Lin had cultivated so quickly to the early Foundation Establishment stage.

Although Wang Lin had gained many benefits,

he had always remained wary of Qin Hao in his inner heart, feeling that Qin Hao was plotting something significant.

"Since you have already made up your mind, leave this place!"

Situ Nan said, "Independent Cultivators may have it rough, but with me around, I guarantee I will make you into a true master!"

Wang Lin packed his belongings and quietly left the Hengyue Sect.

From this day onward, he was an unaffiliated independent Cultivator.

From atop a mountain peak, Qin Hao watched Wang Lin's departing figure and thought, Ma Zi has descended the mountain. His next stop should be Teng Family City, right?
