The Nether Sect was hidden in the Nine Yin Mountain Range. Speaking of which, it was not too far from the Thousand Mountain Sect. At least in terms of distance, it was not far from the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect.
Strictly speaking, the Nine Yin Mountain Range and the Thousand Mountain Range were connected. It was just that the names of the mountains were used to divide them into mountains.
Thousand Mountain Sect's weapon refinement and alchemy were all businesses. It would not be appropriate for them to deal with the Nether Sect openly, but they could not avoid doing business with the Nether Sect in the dark.
Even He Qi, the sect master, knew many important figures in the Nether Sect.
However, the Thousand Mountain Sect was listed in the Righteous Path's list, which meant that it was a righteous sect. They could do business with the Nether Sect in secret, but they would never do it out in the open.
The people of the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect were well aware of this. The Thousand Mountain Square was managed by the Thousand Mountain Sect. There were all sorts of people in there.
Thousand Mountain Square was a trading market. What was traded were low-level Dharma artifacts and pills, but the volume was huge. More importantly, he was famous far and wide. As time went on, the number of people trading increased, and the quality of the traded items also continued to increase.
For a sect, the Thousand Mountain Square, which made a lot of money every day, was like a cornucopia.
Not to mention, Thousand Mountain Square was not only good at making money, but it could also gather popularity and expand its network to control the trading of magical artifacts and pills within a radius of tens of thousands of li. The great power hidden in this made people even more envious.
Seeing that the Thousand Mountain Workshop was getting bigger and bigger, the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect finally couldn't help but want to pick the fruits of their labor. If it was any other small sect, they would have forcefully annexed it.
It was precisely because of the special nature of the Thousand Mountains Square that the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect had to be very careful and try their best to make the transition as peaceful as possible. Otherwise, it would be a waste of effort.
After struggling for a few years, they still couldn't get along well with each other. That was why they were using the topic today as an excuse to flare up.
An Zhi and the others did not expect Gao Zhengyang, whom they had casually accused, was actually a member of the Nether Sect. This was not a good situation.
Although the Netherworld Sect was a Devil Path Sect, its strength was very strong, at least not weaker than the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect. Both sides had fought for a while in the past, but after discovering that neither side could do anything to the other, they tacitly agreed not to attack each other.
In any case, their respective territories were large enough, so there was no need to go to the other's territory to seek death.
Of course, this kind of tacit understanding could not be expressed in words. On the surface, the two sides were at odds with each other. When the disciples of the two sects met, a fight was inevitable. Generally speaking, the highest level of power between the two sides was at the Gold Core level.
If a Nascent Soul powerhouse were to make a move, then things would get out of hand. No matter who won or lost, it would be difficult to end this matter.
Since Gao Zhengyang dared to openly admit that he was from the Nether Sect, he must have someone supporting him.
An Zhi and the others were not afraid of Gao Zhengyang. They were only worried that the Nether Sect would send too many people. If they were not careful, they would be in trouble.
The Nether Sect was most skilled in the art of concealment and assassination. It was sinister and vicious, causing people to tremble in fear.
The people of the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect looked vigilant as they looked around. Although they could not see the members of the Nether Sect, they did not dare to be careless.
He Qi had a panicked expression on his face as well. If Gao Zhengyang was really from the Nether Sect, he would be in grave danger as well. He was about to move away from Gao Zhengyang when Gao Zhengyang reached out and grabbed He Qi's wrist.
Gao Zhengyang's attack was not fast, but He Qi wanted to dodge, but he could not. Being grabbed by Gao Zhengyang like that, He Qi felt as if he was struck by lightning. His whole body went numb, and his fat body could not help but tremble.
He Qi was even more afraid. He clearly had a protective magic tool on him that would automatically protect him when it sensed an attack. However, it did not react at all.
Moreover, he had been in the Foundation Establishment Realm for decades. Although he did not cultivate hard enough, he was rich enough to take medicinal pills. After a few decades, his cultivation base had reached the sixth level of the Foundation Establishment Realm.
Compared to Zhengyang, who had just reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, his cultivation base was at least twice as high. He Qi could not believe that Gao Zhengyang could subdue him with just one move.
He Qi's eyes were wide open, and his round face was filled with disbelief.
Gao Zhengyang leisurely touched He Qi's belt and took out the Thousand Mountain Token that he had hidden in his storage belt. This was the core of the Thousand Mountain Sect's Array. With the Thousand Mountain Token in hand, it would not be a problem to deal with the people from the Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect.
An Zhi finally realized that something was wrong. He looked at the Thousand Mountain Token in Gao Zhengyang's hand and said coldly, "What are you trying to do?"
As a Golden Core powerhouse, An Zhi could see the importance of the Thousand Mountain Token. However, he was not too worried. Although the Thousand Mountain Sect's Array was strong, it could not do anything to him for the time being.
However, he felt a little embarrassed that Gao Zhengyang had seized He Qi right under his nose. He was a Golden Core powerhouse, yet a mere Foundation Establishment brat dared to act recklessly.
Gao Zhengyang gently released He Qi. He spun the Thousand Mountain Token on his fingertip and said leisurely, "Since you guys want to kill me, I'll take your heads as proof of my loyalty."
An Zhi's expression was solemn. He could not see any emotion on his face. He did not believe Gao Zhengyang's words. He felt that the people from the Nether Sect must be nearby. Otherwise, they would not have the guts to do this.
However, no matter how hard he tried with his Divine Sense, he could not find the aura of the people from the Nether Sect. Something was amiss.
Although the people from the Nether Sect were known for their ability to conceal themselves, they were not untraceable. If they could do that, the Nether Sect would have been invincible a long time ago.
However, Yu Gu could not stand Gao Zhengyang's arrogant words. She sneered, "You're a heretic from the Fiend Sect. You're full of nonsense!"
As she spoke, she nodded at An Zhi. After receiving An Zhi's signal, she took a few steps forward and pointed at Gao Zhengyang as she said, "Today, I'll carry out justice on behalf of the heavens and rid the world of evil!"
Yu Gu acted like a member of a noble sect. She unhurriedly announced the righteousness of her actions. In truth, she had already activated her energy swords to protect herself.
At the Foundation Establishment stage, one could nurture a Natal Flying Sword. This meant that one could refine the sword into one's sea of consciousness and refine it with their Dharmic powers and Divine Consciousness every day. At this stage, one could become one with the sword.
As long as the flying sword could enter, the person could enter as well. Naturally, the state of becoming one with the sword consumed a lot of Dharmic powers. Moreover, if the flying sword was damaged, the person would be injured as well.
Very few people would become one with the sword during a fight. Sword cultivators preferred to use their Divine Consciousness to control the flying sword to attack the enemy. As for their bodies, they could use their energy swords to protect themselves.
The energy swords were also sword qi released by the flying sword. Not only could they protect the body, but they could also fly and move in many different forms. There were even some extreme sword arts that only used Divine Consciousness and Essence Qi to refine the energy swords into energy swords.
The Clear Light Sword that Yu Gu used was already of the highest quality at the Foundation Establishment stage. The flying sword was no more than two feet long. When it was activated, it was like a clear light, and the sword was almost invisible.
With the power of her Foundation Establishment divine consciousness, she could control the flying sword to a distance of three thousand feet. However, the further the distance, the more difficult it was to control the flying sword. Under normal circumstances, the flying sword's power was at its strongest at a distance of a hundred to a thousand feet.
Although the Hall of Justice was very grand, Yu Gu was only a few dozen feet away from Gao Zhengyang. For a flying sword, this distance was a bit too close.
A close flying sword's attack was of course faster, but it was also more dangerous for the sword user.
The reason why a Golden Core cultivator could easily kill a Foundation Establishment cultivator was because a Golden Core cultivator could control a sword five times farther than a Foundation Establishment cultivator. If the two of them kept a distance, a Foundation Establishment cultivator would never be able to touch a Golden Core cultivator.
However, if the two of them were very close, a Foundation Establishment cultivator might not be able to win, but at least he could fight back.
Due to the restriction of the terrain, Yu Gu had no way to keep a distance. However, she was still very confident. The shorter the distance, the faster the flying sword.
Although a sect like the Thousand Mountain Sect was rather unique in terms of artifact refinement and alchemy, it was far from being good in terms of combat.
Yu Gu had a lot of combat experience. She spoke at a moderate pace, but before she could finish, the Clear Light Sword flew out from between her eyebrows and stabbed straight at Gao Zhengyang.
The Clear Light Sword's speed was extremely fast. It drew a straight line of light in the air and instantly arrived in front of Gao Zhengyang's eyebrows!
However, Gao Zhengyang did not react at all. This made the people of Heavenly Spirit Sword Sect full of disdain. This guy said that he could shake the heavens, but it turned out to be nothing.
The two feet long Clear Light Sword pierced between Gao Zhengyang's eyebrows, and his whole body exploded with a loud bang.
