Northwest corner of the Great Zhou Dynasty, Black Crow Mountain.
In the depths of the dense forest, in a dark and sinister place, stood a blood-stained palace.
This day, a piece of news was sent in.
"Palace Lord, Su Zimo has returned from the ancient battlefield and has arrived at Misty Peak!"
"Good!"
A middle-aged man in blood robes opened his eyes. His dark green eyes shone with a cold glint as he said coldly, "I want nothing to be spared within a hundred kilometers of Misty Peak!"
His voice spread to every corner of Black Crow Mountain in a chilling manner.
Countless blood crows flew out of Black Crow Mountain and cawed loudly. They were densely packed and covered the skies as they surged towards Misty Peak.
Two days later, Iridescent Clouds Palace.
An order was given and the sect was in an uproar.
Punitive expedition to Misty Peak!
All these years, all the sects in the territory of Great Zhou coveted Misty Peak, including Iridescent Clouds Palace.
Everyone was clear that when this order was passed down, it meant that Iridescent Clouds Palace already had absolute confidence!
There was a high chance that the Ancestral Master of Iridescent Clouds Palace, a Void Reversion, would appear for this battle!
Perfected Being Cang Lang could not help but burst into laughter.
"Su Zimo, oh Su Zimo, so what if you've entered cultivation and joined Misty Peak? At the end of the day, you're still doomed! "
Almost at the same time.
There was also news from True Fire Sect that the Patriarch was leading an army to punitive expedition to Misty Peak!
True Fire Sect's elder, Sima Zhi, gripped his fists tightly and sneered, "This day has finally come. Su Zimo, you killed my disciple and embarrassed me in the sect competition. I'm going to grind your bones to dust!"
Before long, many cultivators of Southern Mountains Sect moved out.
Azure Frost Sect.
A few Perfected Beings of Jin Dan stood side by side. One of them was Ji Yaoxue's former master, Perfected Being Yi Ning who had appeared in the sect competition.
When she heard the news outside, Perfected Being Yi Ning sighed internally.
This situation was within everyone's expectations.
After the fall of the Misty Peak Patriarch, the Misty Peak had declined, and only an old Yao Beast was left to support it.
Misty Peak's foundation was much deeper than the other four major sects. After being established for a long time, there were countless treasures and secret skills in the sect that everyone was eyeing covetously!
The reason why none of the sects dared to act rashly before this was because they were wary of the Void Reversion old immortal crane.
Each of the five major sects had a Void Reversion expert presiding over them and they kept each other in check.
Zhenren Jin Dan and Genying Zhenjun from the various sects could clearly see that once the old immortal crane reached the end of its lifespan, the balance would be broken and Misty Peak would be destroyed!
Normally, the major sects would have to wait for several decades.
But now, with Blood Crow Palace taking the lead, it was not only Iridescent Clouds Palace, True Fire Sect and Southern Mountains Sect. Over the next few days, even more sects and cultivators would head to Ethereal Peak to take advantage of the chaos.
Azure Frost Sect where Perfected Being Yi Ning was from would most likely make a move as well.
"Everyone kicks a man who is down."
Perfected Being Yi Ning sighed gently.
She could not help but feel a sense of pity when she recalled the handsome green-robed cultivator during the sect competition.
Within 10 days, all the sects and factions of Tianhuang Mainland heard about this and moved out one after another – their target was Misty Peak!
"So what if he's the number one Weapon Refinement Master of Great Zhou? He's still going to benefit someone else!"
"Hehe, let's not talk about the cultivation techniques of Misty Peak first. Mr. Mo alone has countless high-grade spirit weapons on him!"
Instantly, the clouds moved everywhere!
…
Misty Peak.
Within the ethereal palace, hundreds of Perfected Beings of Jin Dan stood. Most of them had grim expressions and were anxious as they discussed in hushed voices.
Patriarch Ling Yun sat in the middle with his eyes closed – there was no change in his expression.
"Reporting to Patriarch Ling Yun!"
A Perfected Being of Jin Dan strode into the main hall and said in a deep voice, "Some crows with bloodshot eyes have suddenly appeared in the forest outside the sect and there are more of them gathering!"
"Got it,"
Patriarch Ling Yun replied indifferently without opening his eyes.
Many Perfected Beings of Jin Dan felt their hearts skip a beat as they thought to themselves, "They're here!"
Ultimately, they could not avoid this calamity.
Initially, with the support of the old immortal crane, this calamity would have lasted for at least a few decades.
Unexpectedly, something unexpected happened during this period of time. By chance, Su Zimo had formed an irreconcilable blood feud with the Palace Lord of Blood Crow Palace such that they were in such a passive situation.
"It's all Su Zimo's fault! If not for him, Misty Peak wouldn't have formed an enmity with a strong enemy like Blood Crow Palace!" A Perfected Being of Jin Dan could not help but shout with a darkened expression.
"That's right."
Another person raised his voice. "Patriarch Ling Yun, let's hand over Su Zimo. Who knows, we might be able to quench Blood Crow Palace's anger."
"That's right! Why should the entire Misty Peak be buried with the grudge he formed with Su Zimo?!"
The commotion in the crowd in the main hall gradually increased and many Perfected Beings of Jin Dan were tempted.
"Bullsh * t!"
The disheveled old man could not help but curse and glare at the few Perfected Beings of Jin Dan who were speaking Just Now. "How dare you guys say something like that?"
"Even without Su Zimo, does that mean that Misty Peak doesn't have a blood feud with Blood Crow Palace?"
"Who was the one who killed so many cultivators of the sect in the battle of Dongling Valley?"
"Who killed Wen Xuan of Spirit Peak Seat?"
Instantly, the disheveled old man's rhetorical questions silenced the crowd.
The few Perfected Beings of Jin Dan who were at the start were silent as well.
The disheveled old man shouted, "Everything else aside, if not for Su Zimo in the battle of Dongling Valley, all of our disciples of Misty Peak would have been wiped out!"
"How can such a meritorious deed turn into a sin in your mouths? Has your conscience been eaten by dogs?"
The disheveled old man's scolding reverberated through the main hall in a deafening manner.
Xuan Yi stood out and said in a deep voice, "Furthermore, if not for Su Zimo turning the tides in the sect competition that day, Misty Peak would have been utterly humiliated and become the laughing stock of the cultivation world of Great Zhou."
"How many people would be disappointed if we were to hand over a disciple like that?!"
"Alright,"
Patriarch Ling Yun opened his eyes and said indifferently, "Even if Su Zimo was just an ordinary disciple of Misty Peak, the sect wouldn't hand him over, let alone his meritorious deed! Misty Peak wouldn't be where it is today if we had to sacrifice our disciples for the sake of survival. I can't do that either! "
"Everyone has their own aspirations. If anyone wants to leave the sect, leave now. I won't stop you."
Patriarch Ling Yun swept his gaze across the crowd.
One after another, some cultivators cupped their fists and left. However, there were even more who stayed behind.
In the crowd, there was also a beautiful young lady with curled and yellow hair.
When she saw that, she smiled gently and her eyes were bright like water.
A few days ago, Nien Qi followed Su Zimo back to Misty Peak and had been observing and eavesdropping in secret.
Nien Qi had been a vagrant since she was young and had no home to return to – it was difficult for her to trust others.
Nien Qi was a little conflicted against such an unfamiliar environment and group of unfamiliar people. However, she did not want to disturb Su Zimo because he was in seclusion.
However, after observing for the past few days, Nien Qi's impression of this sect gradually changed.
There was a group of adorable cultivators here and also a group of righteous people.
It was only after hearing Patriarch Ling Yun's words earlier on that Nien Qi finally made up her mind to stay in Misty Peak from now on and never leave!
