Gongyang Qu stared at Qian Songyuan, who imdiately broke out in a cold sweat and was unable to speak.
Qian Songyuan's position within the Cang Mountain Sword Sect was not considered very high.
He was promoted to the rank of Elder solely due to his age and lifeti of diligent service.
His greatest achievent in life was the discovery of two outstanding disciples, Song Tianqing and Lin Qing, in Black Stone County.
Qian Songyuan had originally thought that these two could only be considered ordinary Inner Sect Disciples.
Yet, since joining the Cang Mountain Sword Sect, their cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.
In less than two years, they had defeated all other young disciples and had beco the most outstanding among the sect's younger generation.
As a result, the Cang Mountain Sword Sect acknowledged Qian Songyuan's talent for recognizing potential, entrusted him with important responsibilities, and even allowed him to supervise the younger disciples at important events like the Weapon Casting Conference.
Thus, Qian Songyuan had benefited from the success of Lin Qing and Song Tianqing.
However, Qian Songyuan had never imagined that Han Zheng, whom he initially judged to have limited talent and only suitable for small places like Black Stone County, would beco a Demon Sweeping Captain and was now overpowering the most outstanding disciples of the Cang Mountain Sword Sect!
Seeing that Qian Songyuan remained silent, Gongyang Qu snorted coldly, "Useless!"
"So even say you have the ability to recognize talent, but I see you're just a blind cat that stumbled upon a dead rat!"
"At such a young age, Han Zheng has attained such cultivation and status.
"Such a promising talent was dismissed by you as diocre and left in Black Stone County, eventually benefiting the Demon Cleansing Bureau!
"Qian Songyuan, you truly deserve to die!"
At this mont, Gongyang Qu was burning with rage and was itching to slap Qian Songyuan.
When he heard that Song Tianqing was fighting Han Zheng, Gongyang Qu imdiately had his disciples roughly gather information about Han Zheng.
Currently, he is one of the most outstanding talents of the younger generation in the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Departnt.
He once garrisoned Smoke Wave Prefecture, keeping the local Martial World forces from raising their heads.
Later, he was promoted to be the Commander of the Kui Character Camp, the top-ranked in the Southern Mountain Demon Cleansing Departnt, and turned Taishan Prefecture upside down.
Now, Han Zheng is representing the Demon Cleansing Departnt at the Weapon Casting Conference, which clearly indicates how highly the departnt regards him.
From the perspective of Gongyang Qu, who cos from a top-tier sect like his, entering the Xuan Gang Realm at such a young age is rely decent, as there were mbers of the Five Families and Seven Sects who had entered the Xuan Gang Realm before the age of twenty.
However, the many accomplishnts Han Zheng had achieved were enough to signify his extraordinary ability to fight and capability, certainly making him a formidable figure and not just a greenhouse flower in the future.
Such an outstanding personality should have been part of his Cang Mountain Sword Sect!
It would have been one thing if Han Zheng had never approached the Cang Mountain Sword Sect.
But instead, Li Jingzhong had shalessly brought Han Zheng directly to Qian Songyuan to test his qualifications.
If only Qian Songyuan had said a word back then, Li Jingzhong would have eagerly sent Han Zheng to the Cang Mountain Sword Sect.
At that ti, Han Zheng needed a cultivation technique, and he would not have refused.
The result was that due to Qian Songyuan's blindness, they missed out on such a talent!
Gongyang Qu was absolutely loyal to the Cang Mountain Sword Sect and had dedicated his life to the sect.
Now, knowing that Qian Songyuan had missed such an outstanding talent, his heart twinged with anger.
However, with Han Zheng now a Demon Sweeping Captain in the Demon Cleansing Bureau, it was too late for regrets.
Song Tianqing was the talent that their Cang Mountain Sword Sect was focusing on cultivating, and he couldn't afford to let Song Tianqing encounter trouble here.
Seeing that Song Tianqing had used the Sealing Character Mnemonic and still hadn't been able to defeat Han Zheng,
Gongyang Qu stepped forward, his body radiating Sword Qi that was chilling to the bone, and conjured a deep-blue long sword in the air, thrusting it towards Han Zheng.
This strike was aid directly at Han Zheng's back and was utterly rciless.
Gongyang Qu was the typical type to favor relations over principles.
Now, with Song Tianqing at a disadvantage, if he forcibly intervened to separate the two, it would be Song Tianqing who ended up embarrassed.
By severely injuring Han Zheng with this move, Song Tianqing might recover so ground and avoid an utterly disgraceful defeat.
Just then, a roaring sound of a dragon echoed, and the Black Dragon swept forward on the long spear, its Gang Qi fierce, directly shattering Gongyang Qu's strike.
Su Wuming stood in front of Gongyang Qu, his Coiling Dragon Spear pointed directly at Gongyang Qu, a Quasi-Master of the Dan Sea Realm. Without saying a word, his stance spoke volus.
"A Demon Sweeping Captain dares to stop ?"
Gongyang Qu's expression suddenly turned grim. Clenching his sword technique, ice and fire, yin and yang, four streaks of sword Qi condensed behind him and, carrying the roaring Sword Gang, slashed towards Su Wuming.
Facing such an onslaught, Su Wuming could only choose to burn his vital energy to brace himself hard.
Gongyang Qu was no ordinary cultivator of the Dan Sea Realm; he had reached the peak of the Dan Sea Realm, just one step away from solidifying the pill and becoming a Quasi-Master.
In fact, he could have solidified the pill by now, but he had not yet made full preparations, fearing that so accidents might occur during the process, which was why he had not taken that step.
Such formidable power was not sothing Su Wuming could withstand. A single fully unleashed sword Qi required Su Wuming to risk his life to block, let alone four.
But, just then, Lian Sheng, who had been watching the excitent from the sidelines, suddenly stepped forward in front of Su Wuming. Clenching the Buddha seal, he brought down a palm—Pu Du Buddha Light!
Great Compassionate Palm!
"A monk from the Great Compassion Temple? Has your Great Compassion Temple tead up with the Demon Cleansing Bureau now?"
Gongyang Qu imdiately furrowed his brow.
The Great Compassion Temple, absent from the Martial World for nearly sixty years, had nearly faded from mory as an institution that once had been foremost among the Five Families and Seven Sects.
But martial artists of Gongyang Qu's age would not forget.
The might of the Great Compassion Temple was still present, and Gongyang Qu had to treat it with caution.
With a smile, Lian Sheng shook his head, "Not at all, this monk is here to save soone."
"Save soone? Is only Mr. Han from the Demon Cleansing Bureau considered human? Are the disciples of my Cang Mountain Sword Sect not human? Why don't you save the disciples from my Cang Mountain Sword Sect?"
Gongyang Qu imdiately scoffed.
Lian Sheng sighed, "Not at all. Buddha said all beings are equal, but my cultivation is insufficient, and I could only choose to save the one with fewer injuries.
Mr. Han is powerful and still has so cards to play.
Even you, Elder Gongyang, personally intervening might not trouble Mr. Han. Instead, it would cause resentnt.
As the saying goes, when will the cycle of vengeance end?
According to my understanding of Mr. Han, this matter will not end until one party perishes, and by then, it's feared that the Cang Mountain Sword Sect might suffer greatly.
Elder Gongyang, please do not think that this monk speaks nonsense. I vaguely foresee a calamity and genuinely want to save the Cang Mountain Sword Sect.
If both parties could have a fair fight, the outco would be determined by fate, naturally avoiding much trouble.
So, for the safety of the Cang Mountain Sword Sect, please, Elder Gongyang, refrain from taking action and let the two sides fight fairly."
Lian Sheng was not making unreasonable argunts.
Endowed with the extrely rare life pattern of Blood Slaughter Seven Killings, he indeed possessed so innate superpowers.
Whenever there was a presence of blood slaughter calamity, he could vaguely sense it.
Yet, Gongyang Qu was almost amused out of anger by Lian Sheng's words.
Such an outrageous reasoning—was he taking him for a fool?
He acknowledged that Han Zheng was indeed a rare talent among the younger generation.
But the Cang Mountain Sword Sect, as one of the Five Families and Seven Sects with a thousand years of heritage—could Han Zheng, a re young martial artist, bring a calamity upon it? Was he worthy?
Ridiculous!
Gongyang Qu was too lazy to waste more words on Lian Sheng. His sword unsheathed from his hand, ready to suppress with action.
The ice and fire Sword Qi entwined between heaven and earth, bombarding towards Su Wuming and Lian Sheng like an endless assault.
But to Gongyang Qu's shock, these two martial artists in the Xuan Gang Realm could actually withstand his full-powered attack!
Although they looked a bit disheveled, they showed no signs of faltering.
Just then, an old voice carrying a chilling anger suddenly sounded,
"Gongyang Qu, acting against my disciples from the Demon Cleansing Bureau in my Qianjiang Prefecture, do you think I am dead?"
As the voice fell, Wan Zhongshan, dressed in Profound Gold Swallowing Lion Armor that shimred with black and golden light, thundered down, a huge Azure Dragon Crescent Blade in hand, the Azure Dragon Gang Qi swirling around it, its cold evil Qi condensing.
With one slash, the blade Gang Qi beca substantial, the Azure Dragon roared, and the blade Gang scread, trendously fierce and overwhelming!
Gongyang Qu's ice and fire Sword Gang was instantly shattered, and he retreated more than ten steps before he could barely withstand Wan Zhongshan's strike.
