The Western Sect Strikes Back

The question that the Duty Officer and the Southern Dipper Star Lord had figured out, the Zhunti Leader only understood a moment after they had both left.

"Damn it, Yang Jian is never coming back!"

If the Lord of the Zhunti Sect still has any backup plan, he can only hope that the Sect Master Jieyin inside the Blood Transformation Box will break free and deal with everyone.

He looked around at the empty secret land of Milu Mountain, and then at Divine Lord Zhenyuan, who was like a madman in front of him. He had sworn out hundreds of curses in his mind.

There are hardly any good people in the world!

The resentment in the heart of the Zhunti Leader was finally transformed into a sentence, and he had no choice but to forcefully parry the close-combat attack of Divine Lord Zhenyuan.

The Technique Method close combat using magic made him suffer greatly. The leader of the Zhunti was also extremely skilled in close combat, but he used martial arts techniques instead of Technique Method techniques like those of Divine Lord Zhenyuan. This made Zhunti feel weak and powerless when he attacked.

It's like a martial artist who has mastered the "Bone-Melting Palm" technique. When they strike, their opponent counters with a palm strike like lightning, which is not a normal martial arts technique that should be received.

The leader of the Zhunti found it difficult to adapt to this style, even though he was covered in treasures, while Divine Lord Zhenyuan was only wearing a coarse cloth robe. He had a lot of difficulty fighting him and could only exchange injuries most of the time.

"Damn it, aren't you even a little bit bothered by this kind of injury?"

When they exchanged wounds again, Master Zhunti heard the sound of Divine Lord Zhenyuan's bones breaking, while he himself had a hole pierced in his stomach by Divine Lord Zhenyuan.

The leader of the Zhunti Sect felt that his injuries were very troublesome. He couldn't understand why Divine Lord Zhenyuan didn't care about his injuries. It seemed that the other party had cultivated to this level just to cripple him.

Having been the Western Sect for a thousand years, the Zhunti was inexplicably filled with fear.

He wasn't afraid of death, but he was afraid of fighting an unknown cultivator to the point of mutual destruction; he couldn't see the point in killing each other.

"Snort!"

By learning about the flaws in the Heart Sutra through Erlang True Lord, Divine Lord Zhenyuan also gained an unexpected advantage.

He gave a cold snort, belatedly realizing that Zhang Xuezhou and Erlang True Lord had planned everything perfectly, even managing to steal the Law Treasure that could be taken from Mount Milu.

Beating him to this extent undoubtedly vented his anger, and Divine Lord Zhenyuan was indeed in severe pain all over his body. Zhang Xuezhou's escape also made him somewhat panicked.

If he hadn't received timely treatment, he really would have had to go back to bed to continue recovering.

Ultimately, Zhang Xuezhou is capable enough, but he is indeed a little unreliable and often difficult to reach.

Not to mention Zhunti Master Zhunti didn't want to continue fighting, even Divine Lord Zhenyuan had the idea of running away to heal his injuries first.

"Take this!"

With a loud shout, Divine Lord Zhenyuan unleashed a series of powerful strikes with his sleeves.

His shouts greatly alarmed the Zhunti Master. After wildly striking the Seven Treasures Tree, he also threw out his personal treasures, such as the Blessing Pestle and the Six Roots Purity Bamboo. The light of his mental power surged again behind his head, and eighteen arms and twenty-four heads with different appearances vaguely appeared.

Whether it's poking eyes or tearing at the head, Master Zhunti will use any despicable attack method.

If he cannot withstand Divine Lord Zhenyuan's move of "Heaven and Earth Coexisting," he will have no choice but to reveal his trump card, thus engaging in a life-or-death struggle with his opponent until he either completely kills him or his own body collapses.

After shouting and wildly attacking, Master Zhunti only heard a series of crackling sounds.

Before Divine Lord Zhenyuan could unleash his Heaven and Earth Coexistence technique, he saw Divine Lord Zhenyuan's sleeves flutter as he swiftly rushed towards the entrance of the secret realm of Milu Mountain.

"Could it be that achieving immortality with heaven and earth requires sprinting back and forth over distance...? Oh no, he's running away!"

For a moment, the leader of the Zhunti Sect was stunned, but then he also chased after them frantically.

But when Divine Lord Zhenyuan suddenly stopped, he felt a chill run through his heart and had to stop quickly as well.

"Hmph, I live as long as heaven and earth!"

Divine Lord Zhenyuan snorted coldly again, then flicked his sleeve and flew down from the exit of the secret realm of Milu Mountain.

The face of the Zhunti Leader turned pale and then red. It would be inappropriate not to chase after him, but if he did, he would be unable to withstand the beating. Divine Lord Zhenyuan was no longer fleeing in panic as before, but was able to fight to the death again.

Compared to their previous exchanges, Divine Lord Zhenyuan fought him for half an hour this time, showing no fear of the reputation of their Western Sect.

Who exactly is he?

He gritted his teeth and muttered a low murmur, his expression Zhunti between anger and uncertainty.

"He must be Zhenyuan of Kunlun!"

A moment later, a beam of light appeared in the Milu Mountain Transmission Formation Sect Master Jieyin, his face contorted, limped out, holding the Blood Transformation Box.

"Where is that Shuo Xian?"

"The Peacock King and Yang Jian are in pursuit!"

Is Yang Jian really pursuing him?

"That brat is despicable. He pretended to be holding the Blood-Dissolving Box, but actually threw it directly from the sky. The increasingly rapid fall almost killed me. He even threw away Yuanshi's Yuanshi Law Treasure. Now I have no doubt that he poisoned Yang Jian!"

The leader of the Zhunti suspected that Yang Jian was putting on an act. He felt that his sixth sense was correct, but both the previous evidence and the information brought by the Sect Master Jieyin meant that Shuo Xian was very unreliable and had a very high probability of causing trouble.

It's like this group of people running to the secret place of Mount Milu; only someone with a screw loose would attack a cultivator of the level of the Western Sect.

If you think about Divine Lord Zhenyuan's unreasonable behavior again, Zhunti Leader feels that these two scoundrels are indeed a perfect match, and it would be difficult for an upright person like Yang Jian to have a good relationship with this group.

"What should we do now?" asked the Master of the Zhunti.

"You heal your wounds first," the Sect Master Jieyin said. "I'll quickly return to Mount Ling, persuade the celestial officials who come along the way to return, then sever the Western Heavenly Gate's teleportation array. After that, I'll lock up all these celestial officials and use them as bargaining chips. In case any celestial officials come to Mount Milu, you can lure them into the secret area and quickly suppress them!"

"What should we do with Shuo Xian and Zhenyuan?" Zhunti the leader of the Zhunti Sect.

"Shuo Xian is being chased by the Peacock King. Your orders remain unchanged. The Peacock King will keep chasing him. He can't shake off the Peacock King and will be chased to death sooner or later," said the Sect Master Jieyin. "Zhenyuan has taken so many hits from you. I don't believe his body is made of iron and he can still keep causing trouble!"

"This is unbelievable! It's one thing that I'd never met Shuo Xian before, but Zhenyuan should have shown him some respect back then; maybe we could have even brought him to our side!"

The Master of the Zhunti Sect nodded and accepted the arrangement of the Sect Master Jieyin. He couldn't help but sigh heavily, thinking that if he had handled things carefully back then, he wouldn't have encountered such a foolish cultivator.

"It's one thing if he comes to visit for other reasons, but the Heart Sutra is the foundation of our religion and the means to unite people's hearts. How can we let him get away with this!" said the Sect Master Jieyin. "We are inferior to the Immortal Court and Kunlun, but as long as the Buddhas, Bodhisattvas, and Vajras controlled by the Heart Sutra are fearless of death, they can do nothing to our Western Sect!"

"If only we could subdue this Zhenyuan with the karmic force generated from our mental power!"

"Subdue him?"

The Sect Master Jieyin originally intended to ride away on the lotus platform, but then he remembered the great cultivator who had used the Heart Sutra to backfire on him.

The Heart Sutra can be taught, but he clearly doesn't want to pass it on to those prodigies whose aptitude surpasses his own.

Cultivators like Divine Lord Zhenyuan could potentially suffer karmic backlash, and he had already endured such torment some time ago. Otherwise, he wouldn't have been locked in the Blood Transformation Box for so long, leaving the Zhunti Leader to deal with the situation and suffer alone.

"We have the chance to kill him outright. Don't hesitate at all with this kind of person, and don't even think about turning him into one of our own!"

The Sect Master Jieyin responded, indicating that the monstrous cultivator was extremely dangerous, before hurriedly flying away.
