A month later.
Li Changfeng was in seclusion in his training chamber. The floor was littered with pill bottles. He slowly opened his eyes and exhaled a breath of turbid air, a sharp glint flashing in his gaze.
"After a month of cultivation and the support of these pills, my meridians have reached the peak of the mid Houtian stage in the Chong Meridian realm. I only need one final push to open the Chong Meridian and enter the late Houtian stage!"
"By the schedule, today should be the day we set out to destroy the Ghost King Sect. It is also time to settle the matter of the latter half of the Muscle/Tendon Change Classic!"
"Clang!!!"
A bell suddenly rang throughout the Zhenwu Taoist Sect. Li Changfeng's eyes narrowed. With a sudden flash, he vanished from the room.
When he reappeared, he was already a hundred zhang away, flying toward the center of the Zhenwu Taoist Sect. Figures all around him were likewise darting toward the center, their movements urgent and grave.
After the time it took to burn an incense stick.
A large force had gathered at the central parade ground of the Zhenwu Taoist Sect. They were the people preparing to head to Demon Island and annihilate the Ghost King Sect. Their expressions were stern as they fixed their eyes on Zhang Daoling.
Zhang Daoling nodded. "You all know today's mission, so I will not waste words. We depart immediately and destroy the Ghost King Sect!"
As soon as he finished speaking, everyone clasped their fists. "We obey!!"
Zhang Daoling nodded, flashed away, and vanished instantly as he headed toward the open sea. The others followed in separate groups.
Three days later.
The group had reached the open sea. Three massive Dragon Boats were waiting for them
