Whoosh!
Luo Cheng pushed his speed to the limit, streaking across mountain peaks like a flash of flowing light. The fierce surge of Qi Force tore through the clouds, carving out a long passage in the mist.
"An Awakening Vein Realm expert!"
"That’s the direction of Qingxuan Peak. Could it be another Inner Sect Disciple causing trouble?"
"Quick! Let’s follow and take a look!"
Many Outer Disciples below—coming and going—noticed soone flying through the air and couldn’t help but exclaim with envy and awe.
In the blink of an eye, Luo Cheng arrived above Qingxuan Peak, heading straight for Xuanyi Residence.
Upon reaching Xuanyi Residence, Luo Cheng frowned.
The once picturesque abode, brimming with poetic charm, was now no longer what it had been—utterly ruined.
The main courtyard where he resided had turned into a wasteland.
From above, all that remained were deep handprint-like craters; the original buildings, shaded ancient willows, flowing streams, and stone bridges had been reduced to debris!
Whoosh!
He landed amidst the shattered ruins.
Looking at his forr ho reduced to this state, Luo Cheng’s anger imdiately surged uncontrollably. With a furious roar, he bellowed:
"Who did this?!"
His voice, like a thunderclap, shattered the clouds in the sky!
"Wait, is that Luo Cheng’s voice?"
A startled exclamation ca from a side courtyard.
Imdiately, the sounds of doors opening could be heard in succession.
Gu Lingfeng and Yuan Zhilan flew over in excitent.
"Luo Cheng!"
"Luo Cheng, it really is you! You’re back!"
When they saw Luo Cheng, the two were first taken aback, then their faces blossod with sheer joy.
Yuan Zhilan’s eyes even turned red.
Luo Cheng took a deep breath to calm himself, nodded, and said:
"I’m back."
After so ti apart, it was evident both had made clear progress in their cultivation.
Gu Lingfeng was at the Middle Stage of Tongxuan Realm First Layer, and Yuan Zhilan had also advanced into the Tongxuan Realm.
"They said you were being hunted by a Middle Stage Awakening Vein Realm expert and that you were already..."
Yuan Zhilan bit her lip hard to stop herself from crying.
When the news first ca back, they still had hope.
But as days and weeks passed, with no word from Luo Cheng, that hope faded into despair.
Luo Cheng chuckled and said, "Indeed, many things happened. But it’s all behind now..."
As the three were speaking, the sound of hurried footsteps suddenly rang out.
Those Outer Disciples who had heard of Luo Cheng’s return rushed over out of curiosity.
In the sky, one by one, Outer Elders also arrived.
Luo Cheng ceased speaking, glancing around at the ruins.
"What exactly happened here? And the two of you—are you hurt? Who was responsible?"
From his first glance at them, Luo Cheng noticed their pale complexions and unsteady Qi, clear signs of internal injuries.
Gu Lingfeng and Yuan Zhilan exchanged a look but didn’t say a word.
Gu Lingfeng smiled and said, "Luo Cheng, you’ve just returned. Rest for now. Let’s wait for Master Chen Xuan to co back before discussing everything."
They knew Luo Cheng’s temperant.
If he learned the truth, who knew what might happen?
"It was Inner Sect Senior Brother Yu Zonghui! Ten days ago, he brought people here and flattened this place!"
"That’s right!"
Soone in the crowd couldn’t resist shouting.

Oh no!
Gu Lingfeng’s expression changed slightly.
Luo Cheng raised an eyebrow and said, "There’s no need to hide the truth. Things are different now; I’m not soone anyone can walk over anymore! Speak—what happened?"
Gu Lingfeng sighed, knowing there was no point in concealing it, and recounted the events in full detail.
Yu Zonghui was not only an Inner Sect Disciple but had also been Qin Douyuan’s Direct Disciple.
Ten days earlier, Yu Zonghui suddenly brought people to Xuanyi Residence, attempting to enter Luo Cheng’s main courtyard!
Elder Chen Xuan, Chen Lingyu, and others had already left for Black Wind Forest to search for Luo Cheng’s whereabouts.
On the entirety of Qingxuan Peak, aside from the servant disciples who maintained the grounds, only Gu Lingfeng and Yuan Zhilan remained.
Although they tried their best to stop him, they were no match for Yu Zonghui, who was at the Second Layer of Awakening Vein Realm. They were both sent flying with a single step of his!
In the end, Yu Zonghui entered the main courtyard without any resistance.
After circling the courtyard, he suddenly beca furious and used one palm strike to destroy most of Xuanyi Residence!
Luo Cheng listened carefully and let out a cold laugh:
"Like master, like disciple! Just a re Second Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert dares to act so arrogantly!"
Sensing the chill radiating from Luo Cheng, Gu Lingfeng quickly urged:
"Luo Cheng, don’t act recklessly! You can’t imagine the power of a Second Layer Awakening Vein cultivation spirit practitioner! With just one palm, he almost leveled the entire Xuanyi Residence! The aura he released alone gave both and Yuan Zhilan internal injuries!"
Recalling that day’s events, Yuan Zhilan also turned pale, her pretty face filled with lingering fear:
"Were it not for Elder Chen Xuan taking us in as Direct Disciples, we could have been dood. Let’s wait for Master’s return to deal with this!"
Luo Cheng remained expressionless and shook his head.
"A Second Layer Awakening Vein Realm expert isn’t qualified to act wild before !"
"Follow !"
With that, Luo Cheng turned and walked away.
Gu Lingfeng and Yuan Zhilan quickly followed.
Yuan Zhilan asked suspiciously:
"Where are we going?"
Luo Cheng sneered, his eyes cold, and spat out two words:
"Debt collection!"
The other party had already co to his doorstep; there was no way he’d swallow this humiliation!
Breaking one is breaking one, breaking two is breaking two!
Luo Cheng had already made up his mind—today, he would take care of that master and disciple pair together.
A complete show of chaos!
As for the consequences, Luo Cheng had thought them through long ago when he struck against Elder Wen and the others.
Position and authority weren’t granted—they were seized through strength!
The stronger his displayed power, the higher his value to the Sect, and the more they would favor him!
The reason the Sect sent so many experts to search for him was fundantally because he had won first place at the Three Sects Martial Arts Competition!
What’s more, he had Yun ngli backing him.
Based on what Xue Yun had said, Yun ngli had awakened an Eleven-star Earth-Level Martial Soul, and even the Sect Master now had to give her respect!
With this banner behind him, even Eighth Prince Jin Min wouldn’t dare provoke him easily!
Watching Luo Cheng and the other two hurry away, the crowd instantly buzzed with excitent.
"Senior Brother Luo Cheng is going to the Inner Sect! This is incredible—does he plan to challenge Senior Brother Yu Zonghui?!"
"It’s possible! I heard Senior Brother Luo Cheng has already ascended to the Awakening Vein Realm! Soone just saw him flying through the air!"
"What?! Senior Brother Luo Cheng has entered the Awakening Vein Realm!"
The news of Luo Cheng heading to the Inner Sect to settle accounts with Yu Zonghui spread like wildfire.
Upon hearing the news, everyone imdiately rushed to Yu Zonghui’s residence at Sharp Jade Peak.
Sharp Jade Peak.
Yu Zonghui’s residence was nestled in a tranquil valley.
The valley was serene yet lively, lush with greenery, cascading waterfalls, jade-like boulders, and mist lingering in the air—imbued with beauty and charm.
Within a spacious courtyard, two young n sat in a pavilion, drinking wine.
The youth on the left, with thick eyebrows, large eyes, hands extending to his knees, and an imposing physique, was none other than Yu Zonghui.
"Brother Yu, I heard you went to Qingxuan Peak so ti ago. Did you find anything?"
The blue-clad youth opposite him asked with a smile.
"Bah!"
Yu Zonghui spat fiercely and cursed:
"I thought that waste Luo Cheng, with his Wasted Martial Soul, must have a treasure of so kind to possess such strength. But after tearing apart his room for half a day, all I found were a few Gold Notes—what a pointless trip!"
Yu Zonghui had gone to Qingxuan Peak not rely to vent anger on Qin Douyuan’s behalf.
He had used avenging his master as an excuse to seize treasures from Luo Cheng’s residence.
Even if there were no treasures, finding so Essence Energy Pills would have been worthwhile.
Luo Cheng, as the champion of the Outer Sect Competition, had been awarded a staggering 5,000 Essence Energy Pills!
Yet after searching every nook and cranny, he found nothing!
The blue-clad youth, clearly expecting this, chuckled and said:
"If he had any valuable treasures, they would naturally be with him. Unfortunately, that brat, chased by the Blood Eagle, has vanished. Whatever treasures he carried likely fell into the Blood Eagle’s grasp!"
Yu Zonghui cursed bitterly, "What a pity! If I’d known earlier, I would’ve captured him personally and extracted everything he had back when he offended us from the Crown Prince Hall!"
"Forget it! No point fretting over that waste! Let’s drink!"
Just as the two raised their cups—
BOOM!
A thunderous crash shattered the peace as the courtyard gate was blasted apart by a single punch!
