Translator: 549690339

Suddenly.

An old and robust voice resonated throughout the valley.

“Xiao Jing, I didn’t expect you to be this despicable! To bully the weak!”

The moment the words were spoken, Xiao Jing, who was walking towards Jiang Yuan, instantly turned pale.

His heart was filled with terror!

You could hear the voice, but not see the speaker.

This indicated that the person hiding in the dark was at a higher realm than him.

He immediately lost his nerve.

He spoke to the surrounding area, “Senior, since you recognize me, I hope you will make this easier on my Sect Master’s behalf!”

“You want me to make things easier? Ridiculous!” The voice sneered.

Accompanied by the echo of his voice, an elderly man with white hair and beard appeared before Jiang Yuan’s trio instantaneously.

“Glad to see you, Senior Kong!” Jiang Yuan rejoiced and hastily spoke.

Liu Jie and Liu Rushi were stunned for a moment, then quickly bowed, “We pay our respects, Chief!”

Seeing the appearance of Kong Nian, Xiao Jing’s face turned exceptionally terrible.

“Since our Daoist friend from the Supreme Mystery Sect Kong has arrived, I shall take my leave!” Xiao Jing spoke and turned to leave.

“Who said you could leave!” Kong Nian stated indifferently.

At his thought, the power of heaven and earth abruptly surged.

Boom-

The voidness trembled, the earth split.

In the direction where Xiao Jing was standing, the ground abruptly sank several feet.

“Damn-”

Xiao Jing roared with anger, refusing to be outdone.

A ray of golden light appeared in his hand, which disappeared into thin air instantaneously.

Even with Jiang Yuan’s current eyesight, he could barely catch a glimpse of a gold light that seemed capable of piercing the layers of space.

The next moment.

That object appeared before Kong Nian.

Kong Nian remained calm, seeming to have everything under control. He reached out and grabbed the trembling golden shuttle in his hand.

“A space-shattering shuttle with seven layers of prohibition, nice thing!” Kong Nian remarked indifferently.

He casually wiped off the imprint on it, then stowed it into his bag.

Seeing this, Xiao Jing fell into despair.

His dharma tool, which he relied on, was caught barehanded by the opponent, and his imprint was easily erased after refinement. How could he fight?

“Since you’re here, and dare to bully others, then stay here for me!”

Kong Nian’s voice, which seemed to cause resonance between heaven and earth, was simultaneously echoed throughout the valley.

Under his resonating voice, pebbles began to roll down the valley.

His figure also appeared in front of Xiao Jing. He reached out with a palm.

In Xiao Jing’s terrified eyes, that withered palm seemed like a hand covering the sky, impossible to resist, impossible to escape, only awaiting death.

Boom－

Accompanied by a roar.

He instantly exploded into a mist of blood.

Seeing such an effortless fight, Jiang Yuan knew it was due to the enormous gap between the two.

It was as simple as an adult beating a child.

Catching a dharma tool barehanded without a scratch revealed Kong Nian’s body was extraordinarily strong.

As for his ability to kill with a single palm, it represented his complete domination by the power of heaven and earth against Xiao Jing. Xiao Jing had no room to resist at all.

Kong Nian appeared by Jiang Yuan’s side and spoke in a calm tone, “Did you see? This is merely the second level of the Indestructible True Body. In terms of defense, not even a treasure with seven or eight prohibitions can break through my defense.”

“To catch a dharma tool with bare hands is effortless! Only a spiritual weapon can make me wary.”

“With my current physical defense, even if I face a being in the Dharma Realm that surpasses me by a great realm, I would still have the ability to protect myself.”

“If I were a few decades younger, I would dare to fight with great cultivators in the Dharma Realm!”

Jiang Yuan nodded and respectfully said, “Thank you for the demonstration, senior.”

Liu Jie and Liu Rushi also quickly bowed and said, “Thank you, Chief, for saving our lives!”

Kong Nian nodded slightly.

“Shall we go back now?”

The three people nodded in unison.

Sunset Sect.

Fifth Elder, looking at the dim life tablet belonging to Xiao Jing in front of him, muttered, “Impossible!”

The Sect Master spoke with a pained expression, “We were careless! We left Xiao Jing alone there. He must have been met by a great cultivator from the Supreme Mystery Sect!”

Gongsun Zhi also looked heavy.

No one had expected that Xiao Jing, staying there for surveillance, would lose his life in the process.

Great cultivators at the Divine Bridge Realm are not cabbages, even the sects of immortals like the Sunset Sect.

The number of cultivators surpassing the Divine Bridge Realm can barely exceed two hands’ count.

The fall of any great cultivator would sever the vital points of a sect.

The Sect Master deeply inhaled: “Xiao Jing’s demise carries an important message! It suggests that we have exposed our hostility with the Supreme Mystery Sect unknowingly, otherwise they wouldn’t strike so brutally!”

“In the future, remember to be cautious when encountering people from the Supreme Mystery Sect outside. If the opportunity arises, return their sentiments tenfold!”

“Yes, Sect Master!” Everyone in the room responded in unison.

The Supreme Mystery Sect.

As time passed, more and more people began to believe that Jiang Yuan had died in some far-flung incident.

If that wasn’t the case, he wouldn’t have been away from the sect for two or three months, and furthermore, his life plaque and those of Liu Jie, Liu Rushi remained dull.

All signs pointed to a single conclusion, only a genuine disaster that led to his demise could result in this situation.

Many sighed and shook their heads when this topic was raised.

This was because a saying had been circulating within the sect these past few days.

The Supreme Mystery Sect was currently in decline and this was the reason why the heaven’s geniuses constantly met untimely ends.

This pattern had persisted for several decades.

Any individual who showed exceptional talent and the potential to outshine their peers, would inevitably meet some accident and lose their life.

Only a minority of heaven’s geniuses who kept a low profile were spared.

At this moment, Jiang Tian and Jiang Yu, ecstatic, headed towards Jiang Yuan’s mansion.

After waiting for three months, they could finally confirm with certainty that Jiang Yuan must have met his demise outside the sect.

He wouldn’t be absent from the sect for three months otherwise.

They were accompanied by an old man, a steward from the Heavenly Pillar Peak.

He was in charge of all the logistic tasks of the Heavenly Pillar Peak and responsible for arranging the accommodation of the inner sect disciples, which all fell within his assigned duties.

Thinking of the one hundred inferior spiritual stones that Jiang Yu had gifted him, he couldn’t hide his joy.

His request was simple, he just wanted a maid assigned to his mansion.

This was a trivial matter for the old man.

Receiving one hundred inferior spiritual stones and gaining a favor in return, why would he reject such a proposal?

And it’s even simpler as it concerned a maid who had lost her master.

In the Supreme Mystery Sect, maids, and other such servants were of low status, let alone a maid without a master.

He did not need to discuss with anyone and just needed to arrange and notify her directly.

The fact that she was Jiang Yuan’s maid did not make any difference.

He had lived in the Supreme Mystery Sect for over a hundred years, what kind of heaven’s geniuses hadn’t he seen?

Only a few could truly rise.

Even the present Sect Leader, Lu Qingshan, was very respectful to him when he joined the sect.

Given his seniority now, who wouldn’t give him some face?

On their way, Jiang Tian excitedly said, “Cousin, should we distribute that maid to my mansion or yours?”

Jiang Yu gave him a faint glance: “Of course she will be at my mansion!”

“Uh…” Jiang Tian said: “Cousin, didn’t you say you would help me before?”

“When did l say I would help you? I’ll give her to you when I’ve had enough of her!” Jiang Yu said lightly.

Jiang Tian looked at his cousin’s expression, feeling like crying but without tears.

Thinking for a long time, he suddenly consoled himself: “Well, it doesn’t matter! It’s just a matter of time.”

After a while.

The three of them arrived in front of Jiang Yuan’s mansion.

Looking at the plaque hanging above their heads, Jiang Yu coldly said, “Cousin, take this plaque down. The man is dead, this mansion is unclaimed now, why keep it?”

“Alright!” Jiang Tian replied.

With a slight leap, he reached the level of the plaque.

In an instant, he removed the plaque that represented Jiang Yuan’s mansion.

“Cousin, what should we do with it?”

“Smash it! We can’t use it as firewood!”

Jiang Tian nodded: “That’s true!”

He casually threw it to the ground and shattered it under his foot.

Just then, the mansion’s gate slowly opened.

A woman in a white dress, with flowing green hair, and a cold look appeared in front of them.

Shu Xiaoxiao stared at the plaque under Jiang Tian’s foot with a cold face.

Jiang Yu and Jiang Tian were immediately dazzled and stupefied.

Even having seen Shu Xiaoxiao’s portrait, Jiang Yu didn’t expect that such a small maid could be so stunning.

She did not resemble an ordinary woman, but a fairy from the ninth heaven.

Standing in front of her, both of them felt somewhat ashamed!

Comparing Tantai Ming with her would be an insult to her.
