Seeing how obedient they were, the Tiger Monster and Snake Monster felt thoroughly pleased.

"Since you understand, why aren't you hurrying back?"

"Bring plenty of food and drink. Your Lord Tiger and Lord Dragon have big bellies! Eight or ten jin would be best, but we could put away a thousand jin too. Whatever we can't finish, we can take back for a feast later."

Their blatant rudeness nearly made Taiyi Zhenren and Chijin Zi glare in fury. But remembering that they could soon summon their fellow disciples to subdue these two, they instantly felt their anger ease.

The two immediately turned into streaks of light and headed toward Kunlun Mountain.

Not long after they left, Taiyi Zhenren's expression darkened.

Just what he would expect of disciples of the Interception Sect. What an insolent bunch!

Still, today had not been without gains. At least they had learned something about Lu Feng from those two fools.

And there were the Interception Sect's fortuitous opportunities too. At that thought, Taiyi Zhenren immediately decided to invite more of his fellow disciples along.

It was not merely to vent his anger, but also to discuss with them how to seize those opportunities from the disciples of the Interception Sect.

Thinking of those opportunities inevitably reminded Taiyi Zhenren of Lu Feng again.

In truth, once he and Chijin Zi learned that Lu Feng had arranged all the opportunities for the Interception Sect's disciples, they had been left utterly astonished.

Yet such a figure was virtually unknown in the Primordial World.

His ability to arrange so many opportunities clearly showed that his strength was extraordinary.

Still, what those two disciples of the Interception Sect had told them amounted to only a handful of words.

Perhaps they could learn more about this Lu Feng?

With countless thoughts running through their minds, Taiyi Zhenren and Chijin Zi soon reached Kunlun Mountain.

The first person they sought out was their eldest senior brother, Guangchengzi.

"Senior brother, we found two disciples of the Interception Sect today and learned about Lu Feng from them."

"But those two are rather troublesome. Please lend us a hand, senior brother."

Upon hearing that they had news of Lu Feng, Guangchengzi merely snorted in disdain.

"Which two from the Interception Sect? Even the two of you couldn't deal with them?"

Suddenly, Guangchengzi thought of Qiongxiao.

He hurriedly asked.

"Don't tell me it was Qiongxiao of the Interception Sect?"

At the mention of Qiongxiao's name, Taiyi Zhenren hurriedly shook his head.

"Not Qiongxiao. Just two ordinary disciples."

Hearing that they were merely two ordinary disciples, Guangchengzi immediately grew displeased.

"Just two ordinary disciples, and neither of you could handle them?"

"Today, I'll see for myself just how troublesome they are!"

With that, Guangchengzi immediately prepared to leave with Taiyi Zhenren and Chijin Zi.

Meanwhile, Taiyi Zhenren and Chijin Zi also passed the news to the other disciples of the Chan Sect.

With the Chan Sect making such a commotion, Zhao Gongming naturally heard about it too.

As he traveled through the Primordial World, he naturally kept a keen ear out for news of the Chan Sect.

Now, he could not help frowning.

"The Chan Sect usually keeps a low profile. For them to be so conspicuous today, could they be plotting against our Interception Sect?"

At that thought, Zhao Gongming could not help extending a hand and secretly performing a divination.

When his divination revealed the Tiger Monster and Snake Monster, Zhao Gongming froze.

"Have some of our disciples really gone to join the Chan Sect?"

After saying that, Zhao Gongming rejected his own conjecture.

"Impossible. How could disciples of our Interception Sect bow and scrape before the Chan Sect?"

"Perhaps those two didn't go to join the Chan Sect, but to make trouble for them?"

At that thought, Zhao Gongming could no longer sit still.

Although he could not divine who those two were,

as long as they were disciples of the Interception Sect, Zhao Gongming had to look after them.

Now that he knew they might be in danger, Zhao Gongming naturally rushed straight to the place where the Chan Sect was recruiting disciples.

Meanwhile.

On a mountain peak, three women in gauzy robes rested their chins in their hands.

"That Chan Sect! They really are like a dog-skin plaster. You can't shake them off!"

"Who knows what the Chan Sect is scheming this time!"

"Whatever they're scheming, it certainly can't be anything good!"

"Eldest sister, second sister, why don't we go take a look? Better yet, let's teach them a lesson so they stop plotting against our Interception Sect's disciples every single day!"

"..."

Similar scenes played out in different places.

Upon hearing the news, countless disciples of the Interception Sect headed toward the Chan Sect.

Even Guangchengzi and the others had not expected the disciples of the Interception Sect to be so united.

While everyone on their side mobilized, the disciples of the Interception Sect were also quietly making their way over.

At the foot of the mountain.

The Snake Monster and Tiger Monster sat cross-legged. Watching Guangchengzi and the others approach, they stretched lazily in contentment.

"You're finally here! Your lord was about to starve to death today. How much good food did you bring? Bring it all before me!"

Seeing such insolence, Guangchengzi and the others nearly flushed red with anger.

Just what they would expect of fur-clad, horn-bearing beasts. How arrogant!

And they were merely ordinary disciples of the Interception Sect, yet they dared order them around like this.

Guangchengzi let out a cold laugh.

"So you're the two behaving so outrageously?"

The moment the Snake Monster saw Guangchengzi and his large group, he understood what they had come to do.

Compared with the Snake Monster, however, the Tiger Monster was far more simple and guileless.

"You call this outrageous? Your lord hasn't even started yet!"

"Old man, those clothes you're wearing look pretty good. How about I lower my standards today, and you take them off for me to try on?"

Guangchengzi wore a golden Daoist robe woven from Cloud Embroidery, and it did indeed shimmer with dazzling colors.

But who could have imagined that it would catch the Tiger Monster's eye, and that he would outright demand the garment?

In all his long life, Guangchengzi had never encountered such a shameless rogue. He was so furious that he nearly toppled headfirst to the ground!

"Insolence!"

Unlike Taiyi Zhenren and the others, Guangchengzi had no such patience. He raised his hand on the spot.

And there in his hand was the Heaven-Overturning Seal!

Seeing him prepare to attack, the Tiger Monster and Snake Monster rose lightly to their feet, even finding time to brush the dust off their backsides.

"We never expected you to bring back such a big crowd when you went to fetch us food and drink."

"In the past, your Grandpa Tiger would have feasted on you right here. But Grandpa Tiger doesn't like eating people anymore. Too old!"

Ever since joining the Interception Sect, they had given up their habit of eating raw meat. As for eating people, Lu Feng had explicitly warned them against it.

If they dared secretly eat anyone, Lu Feng would kill them on the spot.

With that threat hanging over them, how could any of these monsters dare break the rule?

Still, bringing it up now to disgust these people was quite satisfying.

And Guangchengzi and the others were indeed disgusted!

Especially when they saw the disdain in the two monsters' eyes, they could barely contain their fury.

Had they really fallen so low that they were not only food for these monsters, but were even being rejected for being too old?

And did these two monsters even know who they were?!
