In Qianzhou of Great Jin, Tian Long Mystic Mountain cut the whole Qianzhou into two halves like a giant dragon.
Tian Long Mystic Mountain stretched for thousands of miles. It was the location of Tian Long Taoism, the first school in Great Jin. It was also the holy land of martial arts that everyone in Great Jin yearned for.
In the martial arts world of Great Jin, Tian Long Taoism, Mingyi School, and Sect of Flame were the leaders.
Among them, the Mingyi School was a strong supporter of the Jin dynasty and had inextricable ties with the Great Jin Imperial Family. There were even a few school masters of the Mingyi School who were born in the Imperial Family. They were the strongest martial force backer of the Great Jin Imperial Family. The Tian Long Taoism had a long history. Although its relationship with the Imperial Family was not as close as that of the Mingyi School, it had a good relationship with all the well-known families in the Great Jin Imperial Family. It could be said that it represented the local power of the Jin Imperial Family. As for the Sect of Flame, compared to the Tian Long Taoism and the Mingyi School, it was a power that the Jin Imperial Family was extremely unhappy with. It was rooted in the countryside and had great influence at the bottom of the Jin society. In the history of the Jin Imperial Family, many rebellions were closely related to the Sect of Flame. Therefore, it was also the power that the Jin Imperial Family was most afraid of and had been suppressed many times. However, every time it seemed that the Sect of Flame had suffered a heavy blow, in the end, as it was written in a book, it would flourish again in less than ten years.
On this day, the weather was clear and cloudless. Occasionally, two startled birds flew across the blue sky. Everything seemed so harmonious and serene.
On the Third Absolute Peak of Tian Long Mystic Mountain, a young man in cyan sat on a protruding rock, holding a bloody leg of lamb in one hand and a sharp knife in the other. From time to time, he would cut off a piece of flesh and throw it in front of him.
Not far in front of him lay a One-eyed Giant Wolf the size of a calf. If Junior Leopard were here, he would definitely recognize that this was the One-eyed Wolf of the West Mountain, whose fierce reputation had spread for more than a hundred years in the corner of their village, and whom he had met once.
Now, this infamous one-eyed old wolf was as obedient as a big dog next door. It used its mouth to catch the mutton that the young man threw over and chewed it. After swallowing it, it looked at the young man with longing in its eyes.
"You gluttonous old dog!" The young man scolded with a smile and threw the remaining half of the leg of lamb to the One-eyed Wolf. The One-eyed Wolf caught them in its mouth and started to eat heartily.
A burst of fragrance floated over from behind the young man. After that, there was a burst of light footsteps. "Chief, there's news from the Wu Family!"
The person who came was a young girl dressed in an enchanting manner. Her face was covered with a thin layer of muslin. This layer of muslin was originally used to cover her face, but it wasn't able to do its job well. Behind the muslin, a beautiful and refined face could be faintly seen, adding a hazy sense of beauty to the girl.
The woman walked gracefully behind the young man and handed him a small piece of paper. There were only a few words on it. After the young man finished reading it, a trace of pride appeared on his face.
"Hmm, not bad. Go ahead!" With a shake of her hand, the slip of paper in her hand turned into a white mist and disappeared. The woman bowed, turned around, and left.
"Chief Lei?!"
Just as the young girl turned around and walked a few steps, she suddenly stopped because a person had suddenly turned around the corner. Seeing this person, the young girl was obviously startled, and then lowered her head.
"Hmm!" The person didn't care about the young girl's loss of composure. He just nodded slightly and walked toward the young man sitting on the rock. The young girl didn't say anything and left without saying anything.
It wasn't until the young girl's figure completely disappeared in the woods that the man who suddenly appeared said, "Your cultivation is getting more and more profound. I've been very careful, but I've still been discovered by you!"
"The smell of blood on your body is too strong. This time, you have killed too many people. I can feel the vengeful spirit energy lingering around your body!" The young man chuckled and said in an unconcerned manner.
"Oh, I've indeed killed many people recently!" The person nodded, looking a little unhappy.
This person was unusually tall and burly, and he looked to be about 26 or 27 years old. He had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and he wore a thin training suit. His two thick arms were exposed, and there were a few strands of unshaven stubble on his face. From head to toe, he gave off a bold and unrestrained aura. In comparison, the aura of the young man sitting on the rock seemed a little cold. His gaze, in particular, was like a venomous snake hiding in the dark, causing people to feel uneasy.
The man who was called Chief Lei didn't care about this kind of gaze at all. They had been together for dozens of years. If he couldn't even stand this kind of gaze, he might as well find a piece of tofu and kill himself.
"I think you'll be interested in these things. I found them in one of the Fire Worship Sect's branch altars!" As the man spoke, he took out a few books from his pocket and passed them to the young man.
The young man took them and put them away without even looking at them.
"Don't you think you're too obsessed with the research of Secret Skills? Be careful that these Secret Skills don't affect your conscience! "
"I know my conscience the best!" The young man said. "Don't learn from the old man and act like you're so profound. How was it? Did anything new happen this time?"
"Nothing new, my foot!" Chief Lei walked forward and sat on the muddy ground. "It's still the same. I fought a battle, killed a few people, and came back!"
"The people you killed weren't ordinary people. Your reputation has spread all the way to Tian Long Mystic Mountain. A few days ago, the entire sect was talking about you. This time, you've made a great contribution. I think the position of the next Tian Long Taoism Master will belong to you!" the young man said coldly. Chief Lei didn't buy it at all.
"Don't use this matter to push me. You and I both know the truth. I did make some contributions, but the most important thing is that those old fellows are building up my reputation. If you want to fight for the position of Tian Long Taoism Master, go ahead. Instead of fighting for it, you're mocking me here. Don't you think that's too unkind? Do you think I want that stupid position?"
"That stupid position has to be taken by someone, and it has to be one of the three of us!" The young man said. "You know that's not my ambition. You don't want to take it, and I don't want to either. It's just that someone wants to push you up and build up your reputation. I don't object, but I can't let this affect me, can I?"
"Oh, affect you?" Chief Lei's expression changed. "What did they do?"
"Don't you think I've been staying on Sanjue Peak for too long? Moreover, I suggest that you take a walk around the sect and see what the disciples think of me now. Hehe, help me tell those old fellows not to go too far. Otherwise, I won't mind tearing down that plaque on Hidden Dragon Peak! "
"Hahahahaha —!" Chief Lei finally burst out laughing. "Good, good, good. I'll definitely pass on your words to them. But I'm really curious. When did you start to care about your reputation? Could it be that you've taken a fancy to some girl and changed your character for her?"
"Do you think I'm a love-struck fool like you?" The young man rolled his eyes at Chief Lei. "I don't care about my reputation, but I don't want people I don't like to be complacent. I don't want those old farts to be complacent because they tarnish my reputation!"
"Understood, I'll pass on your words!" Chief Lei nodded in understanding. Suddenly, he said, "Oh yes, we haven't seen each other for half a year. How about it? Let's spar again. Let's see if you've developed any new secret skills in this half a year!"
"No, I've been a little annoyed lately. It's not suitable for me to spar!" The young man said indifferently, rejecting Chief Lei's proposal.
"Interesting. This is the first time in ten years that you've refused to spar with me. It looks like the number one genius of our Tian Long Taoism is going to develop some earth-shattering secret skills!"
"Humph!" The young man snorted coldly and stood up. Together with the One-eyed Wolf, they disappeared into the dense forest in a few steps. Only Chief Lei was left, sitting there with a playful smile on his face.
A cool breeze rose, blowing up the fallen leaves on the ground.
"Alas, I really don't understand. Since you're so persistent in the pursuit of power, why don't you study special techniques that can communicate with the power of heaven and earth? Instead, you put all your thoughts on secret skills!"
