The Green Jade Altar was like an immortal realm.
However, at this moment, it was destroyed. The stone slabs on the altar cracked, and the area below the altar was in a sorry state.
If the battle had not moved further away, the Green Jade Altar would have been destroyed a long time ago.
The Nether Sect disciples could not calm down for a long time.
Although they could not see the battle between Yu Shangrong and the monster, they could tell from the strange sounds in the distance that the battle was intense and terrifying.
After a long time …
The sounds of battle gradually died down.
The Nether Sect disciples leaped down from the Green Jade Altar.
The ground was a mess. It was a mess. Everywhere they looked, there were holes and potholes.
The others followed the traces of the battle and flew into the distance.
…
Shortly after, they arrived at the center of the battle.
Apart from a huge circular area and uneven ground, there were no corpses.
The trees, grass, and plants that were full of life had withered.
"What the hell is going on?"
Everyone looked at their surroundings with a horrified expression on their faces.
"There's more than one monster … I saw that person throw a person out with a rope. It looks like a dried corpse."
Upon hearing this, the others gagged.
The others retched.
It was hard to imagine.
"It looks like puppetry and witchcraft … I'm afraid Mister Second is in trouble."
"No way … Mister Second's cultivation base is unfathomable. How could something happen to him so easily?"
"There's always someone stronger than you. There's no such thing as an absolute in this world. The sect master once said that the power of a single person will always be weaker than the power of a group. "
When they recalled the black avatar and the purplish-black tentacles on the Green Jade Altar, they shuddered.
Just when they were making wild guesses …
Not far away, there was a small purple circle slowly rising into the sky.
Like purple smoke, it condensed into the shape of the mount, Ba Wu, which looked like a wolf.
The others were shocked and retreated.
At this moment, the energy-shaped Ba Wu said in a deep voice, "Yu Shangrong must die."
Then, the witchcraft circle vanished.
The purple energy above them vanished as well.
"Return."
"What do we do now? Give up on the Green Jade Altar? "
"We'll report this to the sect master first!"
…
"Ding! Killed a target. Reward: 2,000 merit points."
Lu Zhou, who was deep in thought, frowned slightly when he heard the notification.
Based on the previous rewards, the One-leaf to Five-leaf stage would be 1,000 merit points, and the Six-leaf to Eight-leaf stage would be 1,500 merit points.
Why was there a reward of 2000 merit points?
Lu Zhou rose to his feet slowly. He remembered Yu Shangrong.
Yu Zhenghai and Si Wuya had not been captured yet, much less brought back. His other disciples did not have the ability to do so without calculating their merit points.
Yu Shangrong was the only one who could kill a high-ranked target.
Lu Zhou frowned as he pondered the matter.
"Nine-leaf?"
When he thought about the Nine-leaf stage, he shook his head.
Yu Shangrong's cultivation base was indeed profound, but it was unrealistic for him to kill a Nine-leaf cultivator.
Moreover, where was he supposed to find a Nine-leaf cultivator?
'Could it be … that someone has already thought of the same thing as me? Perhaps, someone has already attained the cultivation base of an Eight-leaf cultivator by severing his Golden Lotus?
He suddenly remembered that when he was discussing the Nine-leaf stage with Leng Luo and Pan Litian, he had read about it in the inner vault.
This meant he was not the only one researching the Nine-leaf stage.
Whether it was Yun Tianluo, Gong Yuandu, or Great Yan's imperial family, there had always been people studying them.
Apart from Great Yan, there were many cultivators in Lou Lan, Rouli, Qigong, and the other nations.
After mulling over it for a moment, Lu Zhou said, "Someone, come."
A female disciple appeared in the great hall.
A female disciple appeared in the main hall. "Pavilion Master."
"Summon Jiang Aijian."
"Understood."
Meanwhile, Jiang Aijian had been hiding in the Evil Sky Pavilion.
Currently, news of Jiang Aijian's death had spread far and wide.
Although some in the palace did not believe it, it did not matter.
Jiang Aijian's information network was powerful. It was time for him to do something.
…
On a mountain peak about a hundred miles north of the Green Jade Altar.
The clouds parted, and the mist dispersed.
The setting sun dyed the forest red.
"Greetings, Second Senior Brother." Ye Tianxin stood not far behind Yu Shangrong. She bowed respectfully.
This was her formal greeting.
"Sixth Junior Sister, there's no need for such formalities." Yu Shangrong carried his Longevity Sword. He did not turn around. Instead, he looked at the setting sun.
For some reason, he suddenly felt that the setting sun was beautiful. It was more beautiful than it had ever been before.
Great Yan had never lacked scenery and mountains that were like an immortal's paradise.
"Second Senior Brother … Are … Are you alright?" Ye Tianxin still could not believe what she had just seen was real.
The rays of the setting sun shone on Yu Shangrong.
Yu Shangrong did not move. He merely said softly, "I'm fine."
"Second Senior Brother's sword path has widened my horizons," Ye Tianxin praised.
She recalled the scene earlier.
Yu Shangrong shook his head. "It's not worth mentioning."
"I heard that you've returned to the Evil Sky Pavilion, Second Senior Brother? I wonder if that's true? " Ye Tianxin rarely ventured into the cultivation world. She had always been cultivating in seclusion. She would only venture out occasionally when there was something urgent. When she heard this, she did not believe it at first.
Yu Shangrong smiled. He nodded and said, "Mhm."
"Then, is the hit list true as well?" Ye Tianxin asked in shock.
Yu Shangrong finally turned around. His gaze fell on Ye Tianxin.
When Ye Tianxin looked at him, she felt slightly nervous.
Ever since she left the Evil Sky Pavilion and became the revered Palace Master of the Derived Moon Palace, an elite ranked sixth on the blacklist, and the feared Jade-Faced Asura, she had never felt so nervous before.
"Mhm." Yu Shangrong nodded again.
Ye Tianxin was still shocked.
The list that circulated in the cultivation world was filled with experts that could shake an entire region.
All of them had died under her Second Senior Brother's sword.
What kind of method and courage was that?
A gentle expression appeared on Yu Shangrong's face as he said, "Sixth Junior Sister … Master hasn't forgiven you?"
Ye Tianxin was taken aback.
She did not know how to answer this question. Her expression was slightly unnatural.
"There's no need to answer if you don't want to …" Yu Shangrong did not want to force her.
"I'm afraid I won't be able to return to the Evil Sky Pavilion," Ye Tianxin said.
Yu Shangrong said, "The road ahead is long.
"The road ahead is long. Just be yourself."
"You're right, Second Senior Brother." Ye Tianxin nodded.
"What are your plans for the future?" Yu Shangrong asked.
Ye Tianxin did not answer immediately. Instead, she went to the edge of the peak and looked down at the jungle. She sighed softly and said with a confused look, "I don't know … I'm like a headless fly …" She suddenly felt that it was a little pretentious to say such a thing, so she did not say anything more.
Yu Shangrong said.
"If you don't have a target, find another one."
Ye Tianxin was stunned.
Her thoughts were not as simple as Second Senior Brother's … But sometimes, life was not complicated. The more one thought, the more they would restrict themselves.
It wasn't that she didn't have a goal, it was just that she wasn't firm enough in her goals.
"Second Senior Brother, are we returning to the Evil Sky Pavilion?"
"No need."
Yu Shangrong shook his head. "After the matter with the name list is settled, I'll head north."
"Where to?"
"Brackish Mountain."
