The moment Cui Wenshan said this—
The people among the clouds wore faint, ambiguous smiles and inwardly shook their heads, feeling that Cui Wenshan's words had been a little too cutting.
The old man was a Celestial Person of the Wenshui Deng, with the Daoist Name [Shoulder Mountain]. His Daoist Attainment had reached Celestial Person perfection, and he had cultivated for nearly eight hundred years, evading at least three Nether Bureau Inspectors. In terms of seniority and attainment, he certainly deserved to be called a senior.
However, the old man held a grudge against the Aohai Cui. More precisely, he had a feud over Dao contention with their [Cloud Ao Bearing Mountain True Lord]. The reason was simple: he cultivated the [Mountain-Suppressing Bone] method.
Now that the [Mountain-Suppressing Bone] had a master, even Celestial Person perfection could not allow the old man to attain the rank of True Lord. Cui Wenshan's remark had all but jabbed him in the spine.
Sure enough, upon hearing this, the Shouldering the Mountain Celestial Person's expression changed at once, his eyes turning sinister—the very same look as Deng Lingjun's.
Cui Wenshan refused to yield an inch and gave a cold laugh.
With Wang Dingzhong dead, he was now only one step away from Celestial Person perfection. Why would he fear the Shouldering the Mountain Celestial Person, whose path ahead had been severed?
The atmosphere grew delicate.
After a moment, a middle-aged man clad in golden armor spoke in a deep, muffled voice. "Enough. Let this matter rest. You should all head back and report today's results as soon as possible."
The middle-aged man was Mystic Scenery City's commanding general, Sheng Lichuan. He was not from an aristocratic clan, but a Celestial Person from the Ya Kingdom's imperial family, with the Daoist Name [Heavy Edge].
