Rongquan Displays His Might

Sun Fu saw Ge Yangwei and two other Late Qi Refinement Refining cultivators rushing towards him, his face filled with fear and his heart filled with bitterness.

He never imagined that coming out today to gather energy and accumulate Merit Points would lead him to encounter thieves sent by the Changning Sect.

He never expected that after seeing Ge Yangwei and the other two, he had no intention of making a fuss and was just about to lie low and return to the sect to report to the elders when the thief bird on the other side discovered the abnormality first.

Having such a high level of mastery in Divine Sense techniques isn't necessarily a good thing. If Sun Fu's Divine Sense were weaker, judging from the disheveled state of the three people before him, he probably wouldn't have any intention of causing him trouble.

Fortunately, in this moment of great change, Sun Fu didn't completely lose his composure. In his panic, he still managed to shout to Li Bing beside him, "Old Li, run!"

After saying that, he turned around and, without looking back, pasted several Divine Movement Talisman on his back and fled towards the sect.

Sun Fu was nearly eighty years old, and his cultivation had been stuck at the Sixth Layer of Qi Refining for almost twenty years without any progress.

Even with this limited Dao Path, without Chongming Sect Master Li of Shandu Ridge, Sun Fu, a mere Rogue Cultivator, wouldn't dare to even dream of it.

Without Master Li, Sun Fu might have died long ago, like many other mountain dwellers who have no future, in some nameless wilderness.

Therefore, after Pei Yi sought the opportunity for them, the wandering Rogue Cultivator the Shandu Ridge, to become disciples of the Chongming Sect, Sun Fu cherished it greatly.

In the last battle at Little Wu Mountain, he risked his life on the battlefield and took the heads of two Foundation Establishment disciples from major sects.

Of course, he also suffered quite a few injuries as a result.

Thanks to the truly wondrous Kui Star Flying Shuttle that Pei Yi obtained from Sect Leader Kang Da, otherwise Sun Fu might not have survived the battlefield unscathed.

However, every cloud has a silver lining.

Despite suffering serious injuries, Sun Fu still felt it was a worthwhile opportunity to become a disciple of Master Li, gain a glorious lineage, and sever all ties with his former identity Rogue Cultivator.

Therefore, in the days that followed, Sun Fu diligently and conscientiously carried out all the tasks assigned by the clan.

Even though Zhou Yixiu set a high Merit Points for the task of gathering energy and light for the Glazed Treasure Tree, many fellow disciples in the sect felt it was too lonely and were unwilling to come.

Under these circumstances, Sun Fu was the first to step forward and take on this difficult task.

However, every inch has its strengths, and every foot has its weaknesses.

Although Sun Fu's aptitude for cultivation was lacking, and she was petite, even shorter than most women by a head, her talent for cultivating Divine Sense was truly remarkable.

According to Chu Huer brother among the original disciples of Shandu Ridge, after learning of his special talent, Senior Brother Pei Yi considered appointing him as a Divine Sense transmission instructor under Pei Yi, the transmission elder.

Pei Yi will propose this idea to Sect Leader Kang Da once he returns to the sect.

According to Chu Huer's thinking, there was a high chance that this matter would be accomplished. At that time, Sun Fu would also be a member of the Chongming School with Double Brightness, which would bring some glory to Master Li's lineage.

Internally, with two Foundation Establishment True Cultivator already in Sect Leader He's lineage, it wouldn't be good for them, Master Li's disciples, to fall too far behind.

Moreover, Chu Huer also said that if Sun Fu does well in this position, he might also have the right to take on disciples and open up new meridians.

If that's the case, this solitary old cultivator, even without any bloodline to continue the lineage, wouldn't have to worry about losing his incense offerings after his death.

Sun Fu had been thinking about what Chu Huer had said for the past few days. His mind was like a cat's claws, and he kept getting distracted while trying to gather energy and light. Often, he would finish a whole day's work but still not be able to stay by his side. Meanwhile, Li Bing, who was used to slacking off, had much more to gain.

He never imagined that before he could even obtain the teaching position he had been longing for, he would first attract this group of Blood Qi Changning Sect thieves because of his powerful Divine Sense!

As Sun Fu fled for his life, he didn't forget to take something out of his Storage Bag. Blood spurted from the tip of his tongue, and the object quickly floated into the sky.

"Stop him from receiving the letter!" Ge Yangwei's originally indifferent expression turned slightly panicked.

Ge Yangwei was so angry that he beat his chest and stamped his feet, feeling extremely frustrated. "I was still careless! I didn't expect that the old cultivator in front of me was only of average skill, but the token issued by the Chongming Sect was quite good."

The message was swift; Ge Yangwei's bone halberd flew from his hand, unable to catch up.

Upon seeing this, a hunchbacked middle-aged man following closely behind took out a small arrow with a Golden Light talisman.

"Quickly finish this!" Ge Yangwei shouted fiercely. If they didn't run quickly, the Foundation Establishment from the Chongming Sect would really be coming.

Well, that's good. If only we had gone straight into the depths of Cold Crow Mountain. The old cultivator ahead gave us directions, which saved Jiang Qing and Kang Dabao a lot of trouble finding the place.

After hearing Sun Fu's roar, Li Bing didn't know what had happened, but his movements were quick. In the next instant, he started his footwork with unparalleled smoothness.

Having come from a background of independent Rogue Cultivator, he was already used to a life where he had to flee at the slightest sign of trouble.

Even though Li Bing's movements were quite swift, he was still much slower than Sun Fu.

His cultivation level was low, only at the Qi Refining Fifth Layer. He hadn't gone far when he was intercepted by the yellow-robed cultivator who was the fastest among the three.

The yellow-robed monk showed no mercy, a small hammer the size of an ear pick appearing in his palm. It spun around and grew to the size of a drumstick before he threw it down.

With a loud "bang," the bronze shield that Li Bing was protecting behind him was dented by the yellow-robed cultivator's broken silver hammer.

The former was so violently struck that his spine bent, and even the yellow-robed cultivator several feet away could hear the cracking of Li Bing's bones. Yet, the old cultivator still managed to leap forward with all his might, causing the yellow-robed cultivator's second strike of the rotten silver hammer to miss its mark.

Before the yellow-robed cultivator could even feel dejected, Ge Yangwei's bone halberd spun around, and its sharp tip easily pierced through the bronze shield on Li Bing's back with a single strike.

The golden energy attached to the halberd's blade cut through the opening, slicing open Li Bing's blood-stained robe and revealing a mangled back.

At this moment, the flesh on the outside of Li Bing's spine had been torn open, and his twisted spine was clearly visible. With such severe injuries, even if Ge Yangwei and the other two let him leave, he would most likely not live for long.

Ge Yangwei had no interest in conducting this experiment. With a sudden change of hand gestures, the hand halberd that was stuck on Li Bing's back thrust forward, piercing into his abdomen from behind and then creating a horrifying hole in his chest before emerging along with his internal organs and flesh.

As a result, Li Bing's already crooked spine was reduced to dust, and his internal organs were ripped to pieces, leaving him with no chance of survival.

The bone halberd spun and fell into the flesh and blood, returning to Ge Yangwei's hand. Li Bing's upper body also collapsed suddenly. At this moment, the blood in his mouth could no longer be contained, and he vomited it out in large gulps as if it were a spring.

At this point, Li Bing could barely lift his eyelids, but with the last breath in his chest, he roared, "Old Sun, run!"

"Old Sun, run!!"

The roar sent a chill down Sun Fu's spine, and for a moment his steps seemed to falter, almost stopping him in his tracks. He and Li Bing had known each other since they were children, and if he hadn't taken on this arduous task, the latter wouldn't have come to keep him company.

The sudden death of his longtime friend of decades filled Sun Fu with grief, tears welling in his eyes, but he dared not stop for even a moment.

He couldn't defeat any of the vicious men behind him; if he dared to slow down even a fraction, he would surely meet his end in death.

With two loud "bangs," the Corpse Bone Halberd and the Rotten Silver Hammer each knocked back one of the defensive Law Artifact that Sun Fu had summoned.

It's already quite rare for Middle Qi Refinement cultivator like him to possess two First-Tier Superior-Grade defensive magic Law Artifact, let alone the fact that he can Law Artifact both of them simultaneously thanks to his powerful Divine Sense.

Upon seeing this, Ge Yangwei let out a soft exclamation, a flash of surprise crossing his mind, and a dark light emanated from the bone halberd.

"So what if you have a strong Divine Sense? Let's see how many blows you can withstand."

The hand halberd struck again, colliding with the shield whose spiritual light was strongest. Sun Fu was so shocked that blood trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he almost stumbled and fell to the ground.

Not to be outdone, the yellow-robed cultivator used his broken silver hammer to knock Sun Fu's other iron plaque away during the opening. The force of the blow was still there, and it smashed at Sun Fu's feet, almost smashing half of his body to pieces.

Startled, the dark light on his robes faded, and several clods of dirt kicked up at his feet struck his chest. Sun Fu's face turned purple with pain, and he couldn't catch his breath for several moments.

At that moment, the skeletal hand halberds came from behind again. Sun Fu's eyes were glazed over, unable to move. "I'm still going to die."

Unexpectedly, the menacing skeletal halberd stopped abruptly halfway through its journey, then resumed its movement a moment later.

Sun Fu was stunned for a moment. The skeletal halberd that he had thrown in front of him was blocked by a silver ring Law Artifact, lost its sharpness, and fell back into Ge Yangwei's hands.

He suddenly felt his body lighten, and the next moment, he was lifted up again. The yellow-robed cultivator's broken silver hammer missed its target, sending mud and gravel flying everywhere.

The latter was surprised by this unexpected turn of events. Upon closer inspection, he discovered that the newcomer was a young cultivator with a face resembling that of Lord Xu.

Looking up again, Ge Yangwei and the hunchbacked middle-aged man on guard duty were also facing their own enemies. Although their cultivation and skills were not as good as the others on their side, they were visibly much more troublesome than the old cultivator in front of them.

The yellow-robed cultivator instantly formed a plan in his mind. The three of them had fled here to escape, not specifically to fight these Chongming Sect disciples.

He wasn't the only one who knew this principle. As soon as the hunchbacked middle-aged man engaged the enemy in battle, he realized that the enemy's skills were not very strong, so he held back three-tenths of his strength.

Their plans for a way out have become quite blatant.

Seeing this, Ge Yangwei, as the leader of the group, still had some sense of responsibility. He first summoned his Black-Haired Zombie to block Chu Huer's one-legged bronze figure, then turned to the hunchbacked middle-aged man and the yellow-robed cultivator and shouted, "Stop fighting, let's go!"

Although Chu Huer was usually reckless, he learned a lesson in danger at this moment. The three of them were not reinforcements sent by the Chongming Sect; they just happened to be in the mountains and surrounded Sun Fu after seeing him. They had no backup.

Under such circumstances, the person in front of him had a solid foundation and profound cultivation. In addition, the Black-Haired Zombie had Sha Qi and intense aura of killing intent. When the one-legged bronze man crashed into him, he not only failed to achieve anything, but also felt his Qi and Blood to his head.

After exchanging only a few breaths, Chu Huer secretly realized that the person in front of him was no match for him and was most likely a top disciple of the corpse refining lineage of the Changning Sect.

Recalling Kang Dabao and Yuan Jin's previous experience of fighting against the Foundation Establishment seed of the Feng Prefecture Ge Household, one realizes that this guy hasn't even summoned his natal spirit zombie yet.

Now we definitely can't fight.

If they were truly pushed to the brink, not to mention Sun Fu, who was already incapacitated, even he, along with Kang Rongquan and Niu Kuang, would struggle to protect themselves. To think they could capture all three of them would be nothing short of wishful thinking.

"The sect should have received the news by now. Senior Brother Jiang is in charge of the sect. I heard that my sister-in-law's dowry maid is also here today. They can't escape. Let them go!" As soon as Chu Huer had this thought, he made a decisive move and immediately removed the one-legged bronze figure from his hand, clearing a large open space.

Niu Kuang hasn't taken Langhua tablets for a while now. Objectively speaking, as long as he doesn't touch that stuff, he can still be considered reliable.

Seeing that Chu Huer had stopped using his methods, Niu Kuang also tacitly let the hunchbacked middle-aged man escape.

Seeing the hunchbacked middle-aged man flee, Ge Yangwei was overjoyed. He was only trying to find a way to survive, but he didn't expect these Double Brightness disciples to be so sensible. This way to live came so easily.

Without a second thought, Ge Yangwei put away the Black-Haired Zombie and followed the hunchbacked middle-aged man in the direction he was heading.

Ge Yangwei and the hunchbacked middle-aged man were at the back, while Chu Huer and Niu Kuang, after retreating, naturally ran ahead of the yellow-robed cultivator who had been at the forefront of the charge.

The two of them retreated quickly, but they seemed not to have considered whether the yellow-robed cultivator who was now among the Chongming Sect cultivators could escape.

The latter's current situation is not good, and he is feeling somewhat uneasy.

Seeing that the short man and the burly man with long arms in front of him showed no intention of making a move, the yellow-robed cultivator felt relieved. He began to move, about to leave, when he heard the sound of a Law Artifact piercing the air from behind.

The yellow-robed cultivator remained vigilant and would not allow the silver ring Law Artifact to succeed. The head of the rotten silver hammer, coated with Golden Light, swelled to the size of a cold gourd and struck the silver ring Law Artifact, causing it to hum repeatedly.

The commotion was considerable, but Ge Yangwei and the hunchbacked middle-aged man traveling with him exchanged a glance and, with perfect understanding, fled for their lives without looking back.

"You son of a bitch!" the yellow-robed cultivator cursed inwardly. "I told the patriarch long ago that even if we were to come to the Chongming Sect to do a life-or-death business, the three families should act independently. How could those bastards from the Ge Household and the True Spirit Gate be trusted?"

Seeing that Ge Yangwei and the other man were truly terrified, Chu Huer's thoughts also changed.

He first took out a high-grade black silver shield to protect himself and guard against Ge Yangwei and the other two from launching a surprise attack. Then he gave Niu Kuang a wink, and the latter understood. He turned around, grabbed the pair of mandarin duck swords, and slashed fiercely at the yellow-robed cultivator with a strong wind.

The yellow-robed cultivator's expression remained unchanged. This ape-armed man's swordsmanship had some merit, and there were no redundant moves, but his Sixth Layer of Qi Refining of Qi Refining was a hindrance. If this was all he had, he couldn't do anything to him.

"That kid in the back is obviously valuable; if we capture him, we can probably buy our way back!"

Without hesitation, the yellow-robed cultivator unleashed his fury, smashing his rotten silver hammer and easily deflecting Niu Kuang's menacing twin blades, causing the latter to lose his footing and halt in a sorry state.

At this moment, Kang Rongquan, who was standing behind the yellow-robed cultivator, would not let Niu Kuang face the powerful enemy alone. Taking advantage of the opportunity, he came, which was exactly what the yellow-robed cultivator wanted.

He abandoned the rotten silver hammer and instead pulled out a small banner. With a wave of his hand, the five layers of light and shadow—one real and four fake—that Kang Rongquan's silver ring Law Artifact displayed were all shaken off.

To the yellow-robed cultivator's surprise, the young cultivator, who should have been inexperienced, showed no sign of panic. With a flick of his wrist, he threw out sixteen more vine seeds, which took root on the ground.

Thick vines and branches joined together to form a dense cage two zhang high, firmly locking the yellow-robed cultivator inside.

The thorns on the vines were fine and sharp, no less than those of ordinary magical Law Artifact. The small banner held in the yellow-robed cultivator's hand swelled in the wind, trying to expand the cage. However, Kang Rongquan saw through his trick, separated a vine, and directly snatched the small banner from the yellow-robed cultivator's hand.

The yellow-robed cultivator had not expected that this seemingly young cultivator would possess such formidable skills. Overconfident, he suffered a great loss and was filled with resentment.

The yellow-robed monk was caught off guard by the sudden turn of events and lost his composure.

They used talismans, Law Artifact, and Daoist techniques, but none of them could break through the vine cage.

Kang Rongquan maintained a calm expression, struggling to suppress the smugness that threatened to spill from his heart.

These sixteen types of vine seeds were rare goods that Duan Anle collected from various counties during his business trips, and each one was extremely close to the Second Tier.

Kang Rongquan combined the method of stimulating birth taught by Zhou Yixiu with the top-grade spirit -Spirit-Animating Technique of the Desolate Rank, Supreme Grade taught by Pei Yi to master this method. Even the Daoist Black Shoes praised it after seeing it.

Although the principle of changeable laws is simple, it is something that many practitioners cannot accomplish even after a lifetime. Kang Rongquan, at such a young age, already knows how to innovate and bring forth new ideas, which is truly rare.

This surprised not only Chu Huer and the others, but even Kang Rongquan himself had never imagined that he could so easily leapfrog and capture a large group of sect members.

The vines grow longer and thicker, and the tendrils tighten more and more.

The yellow-robed cultivator's bones were tightly bound by vines, crackling like dry tinder trapped in flames. Broken bones had pierced through his outer flesh, causing him to scream in agony. He was now completely defeated by this younger generation, Kang Rongquan.

The flowing blood stained the pale green vines crimson, giving them an eerie appearance.

Kang Rongquan, oblivious to anything amiss, was secretly delighted. "If I drag this fellow back to my great-uncle, he'll surely praise me again."

Chu Huer was also secretly alarmed. The yellow-robed cultivator's skills were not weak, and he was on par with himself. Although the former had committed the cardinal sin of being careless and deserved to suffer the consequences, it was an undeniable fact that he had been caught so easily by this junior, Kang Rongquan.

He's already been captured, so what about myself?

Upon realizing this, Chu Huer was not angry but rather pleased.

This child, who spends his days buried in farming, has unexpectedly not only not neglected his fighting skills, but has also developed a remarkable talent among the younger generation.

Considering Kang Rongquan's Triple Spirit Root and his Late Qi Refinement cultivation, his chances of reaching Foundation Establishment are more than twice as high as Chu Huer's.

However, this young man is not only a relative of the sect leader, but also a disciple of Senior Brother Pei. Seeing this, Chu Huer, his uncle, was greatly pleased and felt honored.

"Senior Brother Chu! Senior Brother Chu! Go see Old Li, Old Li is gone!" Only then did Sun Fu have a moment to burst into tears. He pointed frantically in the direction of Li Bing's corpse, tears streaming down his face.

Upon hearing this, Kang Rongquan's joy gradually faded.

Chu Huer cautiously glanced over, and seeing Sun Fu's expression, sighed and said, "I knew it all along. You and he are always inseparable, how could I not know?"

"Rongquan, release this scoundrel. I'll cut off his head and use it to appease Old Li." Niu Kuang felt a pang of sorrow. These old comrades from Shandu Ridge were becoming increasingly rare in the Chongming Sect. He wondered if joining the sect was the right or wrong decision.

Niu Kuang combined his two swords into a broadsword, intending to lift the yellow-robed cultivator from the cage and behead him, but Sun Fu stood up and snatched it away, crying out in anguish, "Let me do it! Let me do it!!"
