"Why is Chief Gudu seeking out Bai Ziyue, I wonder?"
Wu Zonghui asked tentatively.
"There’s a score I need to settle with him."
A cold glint flashed in Lonely Drunk’s eyes.
Wu Zonghui and Wang Ming, who were always observant of his expression, imdiately felt a sense of relief and displayed a bit of joy on their faces. Without delay, they began to accuse with a look of grievance, "That Bai Ziyue is definitely a person with the ambitions of a wolf.
Not only did he line his own pockets by keeping for himself thousands of pounds of Earth Spirit Marrow that were originally intended to be offered to the Sect, but he also forcibly took over the spirit stone ore vein that was under my managent.
It’s estimated that at least two million lower-grade spirit stones from the ore vein’s treasury have already fallen into his hands.
We barely said a few words, and he flew into a shaful rage, refusing to listen to us and even attacking us viciously.
The injuries we have are the result of this.
Driven by greed, he even robbed us of our storage bags, bordering on being a bandit."
"Moreover, his rampant behavior finally provoked Immortal Master Fang Ping from the Grand Daoist Sect.
You know, there’s always been so friction between us and the Grand Daoist Sect over the spirit stone ore vein.
Yet, in his fury, Bai Ziyue stooped to assassination tactics and killed Fang Ping.
How could such a thing be done?
While the Grand Daoist Sect might not be as strong as our Sunrise Daoist Sect, their mountain gate is nearby, and they are bound to pursue the matter thoroughly.
It spells grave trouble for us.
Before you arrived, we were actually about to discuss returning to the mountain gate to seek a decision from the Sect Leader.
Now, it’s much better with you here to uphold justice on our behalf. Having Bai Ziyue go to the Grand Daoist Sect to apologize will surely restore a clear and harmonious order to the Demon Ridge ore vein."
Wang Ming also quickly spoke up, his face full of excitent.
Due to Bai Ziyue’s previous suppressive actions, both of them held a deep grudge and had already dispatched accusations to the Sect.
Gathering at the Ministry of Mines this ti, they indeed considered returning to the mountain gate.
Of course, besides intending to file complaints, they also thought of avoiding the spotlight for a while.
Otherwise, they truly feared the anger of the Grand Daoist Sect and their indiscriminate killing in retaliation.
They never expected that before they could make up their minds, nor did the Sect’s response arrive, they encountered the obviously hostile Lonely Drunk toward Bai Ziyue, unexpectedly finding joy amidst it.
At the very least, their safety had so asure of guarantee, did it not?
Would the Grand Daoist Sect dare to take action against the elite disciples of the Sunrise Daoist Sect and the true disciple of the Grand Elder, Lonely Drunk?"
"It seems, Bai Ziyue’s offenses are indeed nurous beyond count."
Lonely Drunk’s eyes flashed with a gleam, and he spoke with unspoken aning.
He knew well that Wu Zonghui and Wang Ming were distorting facts, after all, Bai Ziyue had only been here for a few days, no matter how heinous, he couldn’t possibly be as excessive as they described.
However, his purpose for coming was to make trouble for Bai Ziyue, to avenge Fairy Hongchen, hence he did not intend to expose them, and eagerly said, "If that’s the case, let’s pay a visit and bring him down swiftly, restoring peace to this place!"
"This..."
Wu Zonghui and Wang Ming’s faces imdiately showed a hint of hesitation, tentatively replying, "Chief, considering our injuries..."
"You don’t need to act, so what are you worried about?
Besides, I’m totally unfamiliar with this place, naturally, you need to lead the way."
Lonely Drunk said indifferently.
"Yes, yes, yes... We’ll go right away."
The two nodded repeatedly, not daring to refuse further.
...
Amidst the rubble of a collapsed large hall, a spacious flying shuttle hovered in suspension.
Upon the shuttle stood a group of seven, exuding an aura akin to abyssal seas, bringing an incomprehensible sense of oppression.
These seven, each possessed the Immortal Technique Realm of Enlightennt Realm Immortal Masters.
Among them, the two leading figures at the pinnacle of the Enlightennt Realm were Grand Elder Xu Chaofan and Second Elder Guo Zhengchun, who had co from the Grand Daoist Sect this ti.
As for the other five, their strength was likewise formidable, all of them at the Enlightennt Realm level, with so at the Mid-stage and Late-stage Enlightennt Realm.
Such an assembly of powerful figures naturally shook the entire Grand Daoist Sect Mining Bureau, prompting almost everyone to gather and welco them.
"What happened?"
Among the seven, a middle-aged cultivator with a fair complexion and a sowhat spirited deanor asked with a sullen face.
"Reporting to the Grand Elder, Second Elder, Fifth Elder, Seventh Elder... Half a day ago, Bai Ziyue from the Sunrise Daoist Sect suddenly descended here, forcing us out of the spirit stone ore vein.
In a fit of anger, he even killed Immortal Master Fang Ping."
A steward stamred and spoke up.
"Bai Ziyue?"
Even Grand Elder Xu Chaofan was taken aback, while the others’ pupils shrank simultaneously, showing an expression of surprise and doubt.
Their trip, though outwardly stated as a mine inspection, the real reason was none other than Bai Ziyue, wasn’t it?
"What on earth happened?"
Second Elder Guo Zhengchun also asked.
The steward hurriedly recounted the cause, the reason, and the entire process of the incident again. The other stewards beside him added supplentary information and clarifications.
"Too audacious, too arrogant.
To think we hadn’t even sought trouble with him yet, he preemptively targeted our Grand Daoist Sect."
"Failing to kill a snake can lead to disaster.
When the Sect Leader didn’t eliminate him once and for all, it eventually led to the troubles we face now.
Fortunately, as long as we slay him this ti, there is still ti to set things right."
"Though that may be true, given his past performance, we mustn’t underestimate him.
Back then, he managed to escape the Sect Leader’s grasp, partly because the Sect Leader had reservations and didn’t go all out. But it also proves that his skills are quite extraordinary.
Now his strength had broken through to the Enlightennt Realm and, in just one month, advanced to the mid-stage Enlightennt Realm. His power would have certainly increased significantly.
Therefore, we must proceed with caution and not be caught off guard."
"Indeed, besides the Sect’s Ultimate Skill, the Circulation Inference Mirror, Bai Ziyue surely carried other significant treasures.
Otherwise, he would not have broken through to the mid-stage Enlightennt Realm in just a month.
Moreover, his ability to explode with energy and maximize his potential for long periods must be supported by a secret treasure.
Initially, I thought the Sect Leader sent so many of us to take him down was overestimating him.
But now, it doesn’t seem unreasonable."
...
After a round of discussion, everyone put aside their underestimation and beca more cautious.
anwhile, those stewards, upon hearing this, were dumbfounded and shocked.
Had Bai Ziyue really escaped the Sect Leader’s grasp once? And that was even before breaking through to the Enlightennt Realm?
The Grand Elder, Second Elder, and their team of seven were here for Bai Ziyue?
What was his background that warranted such attention from our Grand Daoist Sect?
Moreover, the Sect’s Treasure? The Circulation Inference Mirror? Since when did the Sect possess such a treasure? Why hadn’t they heard of it?
Countless questions arose in their minds, but none dared to speak, let alone ask.
"Enough, there’s no ti to waste. We must set out imdiately and not let him escape," Xu Chaofan, the Grand Elder of the Grand Daoist Sect, finally made the decision decisively.
...
"The Shenxiao Five-Thunder Technique and the Immortal Martial True Body have both reached the Entry Level.
Finally, the hours of relentless cultivation had not been in vain."
Bai Ziyue took a deep breath and then turned his gaze upon the Attribute Panel.
"Spending 120,000 points of Soul Energy could elevate the Shenxiao Five-Thunder Technique to Small Success!"
"Spending 240,000 points of Soul Energy could elevate the Shenxiao Five-Thunder Technique to Great Success!"
"Spending 480,000 points of Soul Energy could elevate the Shenxiao Five-Thunder Technique to Perfection!"
"Enhance!"
"Enhance!"
"Enhance!"
Bai Ziyue continually chose to enhance.
A minute, two minutes, three minutes...
It took him a full five minutes to completely absorb all cultivation insights about the Shenxiao Five-Thunder Technique, thus fully unleashing the most potent power of this magic.
Then, he didn’t linger.
"Spending 350,000 points of Soul Energy could elevate the Immortal Martial True Body to Perfection!"
"Enhance!"
...
"Compared to the Shenxiao Five-Thunder Technique, which was purely a thunder attack thod, based on destructive power,
the Immortal Martial True Body was a protective thod blending immortal techniques and martial arts.
Its effectiveness was several tis stronger than my Indestructible Golden Body and was no less than a Defense Spell.
Most importantly, the Immortal Martial True Body could complent the Immortal Martial Hand Seal, significantly augnting its power..."
Bai Ziyue slowly opened his eyes, comparing silently, his face expressed fascination.
If, before perfecting the Immortal Martial True Body, he had used the Immortal Martial Hand Seal, its attack power could only match the Sect Leader of the Grand Daoist Sect, Zhou Qing.
Now, however, he far surpassed the opponent.
He even had the confidence that, with the current power of the Immortal Martial Hand Seal, he could shatter the seemingly impenetrable Immortal Martial Glowing Light defense with a single strike.
"The Immortal Martial Hand Seal, Immortal Martial True Body, next, only the grand Daoist technique remained.
Once mastering this grand Daoist technique, the power of my Immortal Martial Hand Seal would once again surge, breaking through the limits of magic, comparable to a divine technique.
Reversing the Immortal would not be an impossibility!"
Bai Ziyue pondered with eager anticipation.
The grand Daoist technique was precisely the Sect’s Ultimate Skill of the Grand Daoist Sect. He believed that as long as he played his cards right, he had a chance to obtain this cultivation technique.
He was determined to gain even the Immortal Martial Glowing Light.
"With the enhancent of two spells this ti, I expended a total of 1,190,000 points of Soul Energy, and combined with the 260,000 points of Soul Energy spent on cultivating spells during this ti,
leaving with a total of four million points of Soul Energy!"
Afterward, Bai Ziyue’s gaze narrowed slightly, revealing a hint of satisfaction.
Four million points of Soul Energy was indeed quite substantial.
