"Is that... is that Master Jiu Lei?"

Yan Chen’s pupils contracted drastically, watching the scene in disbelief. The previously vigorous and murderous junior brothers now stood powerless, falling victim under Master Jiu Lei’s sword!

"Be careful, here he comes!"

Master Giant Whale bellowed, and with a fierce push of his hands, a deep green jade plate soared and transformed, with strands of Spiritual Power cascading down from the sky, forming a Domain Field.

"Break!"

In a flash of electrical light, Ning Daoran, with sword in hand, charged into the Domain of the jade plate, his body emitting a burst of Evergreen Technique Power, unleashing an immensely strong late-stage Golden Core Spiritual Pressure!

"Peng Peng Peng~~"

The loud noises were incessant. Master Giant Whale’s face turned pale as the Domain created by the jade plate kept getting shattered. Meanwhile, the opponent unleashed the Dragon Demon Realm, and a sword descending from the sky cleaved towards Yan Chen.

"Damn it!!!"

Yan Chen roared, lifting a bone shield with both hands, yelling, "You dare not kill me!"

"Crack!"

With a crisp sound, the longsword formed by the unification of six Golden Silk Swords became a streak of sword light and fell in a straight line. Yan Chen’s top-grade spiritual artifact-level bone shield didn’t even delay slightly; the sword light fell right through, cleaving his body in two!

Golden Core shattered, dying instantly!

"You!"

Master Giant Whale was horrified; Yan Chen was his chief disciple, with immense talent in cultivation, only second to his second disciple Chen Xiandao. Even Master Giant Whale felt a bit intimidated by Yan Chen’s talent, fearing that one day he might indeed surpass him.

However, under the onslaught of this "Master Jiu Lei," Yan Chen didn’t even manage to block a single move and was instantly slain!

How terrifying exactly was Master Jiu Lei’s cultivation?

"Damn it!"

Master Giant Whale roared, and a fiery red short knife of low-grade magical treasure level suddenly sprayed from his fingertips, chopping towards Ning Daoran’s face.

This strike was extremely fierce, a killing move honed over many years by Master Giant Whale, indeed hard for ordinary Golden Core cultivators to avoid.

But Ning Daoran, bathed in the electrical field of the Nine Heavens Escape Thunder Technique, saw everything around him in slow motion. What seemed to be a lightning-fast strike by Master Giant Whale appeared to last at least three breaths from start to finish in Ning Daoran’s eyes, this prolonged duration enough for any response.

"Snap—"

Amidst flickering lightning, Ning Daoran’s body darted forward like a fish, his handsome face grazed past the short knife, his body shimmering with lightning, effortlessly dodging the knife’s attack.

"Ah?"

Master Giant Whale stood dumbfounded, utterly shocked, watching helplessly as the other made an extremely "risky" dodge.

The very next second, Ning Daoran twisted his body, and his longsword drew a fierce semi-circle, slicing directly towards Master Giant Whale’s head.

"In your dreams!"

Master Giant Whale bellowed, radiance erupting from his chest, a third-tier mid-grade magical treasure level Heart Protector Mirror flared brightly, buzzingly blocking in front, attempting to stop the strike of the Golden Silk Sword.

But in a flash, Ning Daoran’s longsword "disassembled" into six beams of golden light, circling around the Heart Protector Mirror’s defense, striking from six different directions, and directly piercing through Master Giant Whale’s body!

"Ding Ding Ding~~~"

Master Giant Whale’s head, throat, chest, abdomen, and other vital areas all bore blood holes. He suddenly stared blankly, stepping back rapidly, with blood spouting from his body.

"Master!"

Not far away, a group of masked disciples from Giant Whale Sect appeared horrified.

The mighty Sect Leader of the Giant Whale Sect, a mid-stage Golden Core Great Cultivator, could not withstand more than three moves under the opponent’s attack!

"Master Jiu Lei, you beast!"

"We will definitely avenge our master!"

"Wait for it, the mountain does not turn but water does, you will regret it one day!"

A group of robbery cultivation disciples, while spewing threats, scattered in all directions. After the death of Master Giant Whale, this group quickly dispersed.

Ning Daoran frowned slightly, too lazy to pursue, instead turning his gaze hundreds of feet away to one person.

Situ Yu, Peak Master of Qingxia Peak!

From the very first day he entered Purple and Green Three Peaks, this person had shown intense hostility, even competing with Ning Daoran over the array business. That was tolerable, but more importantly, Situ Yu probably had long been colluding with the Giant Whale Sect, as if without him allowing the Giant Whale Sect robbery cultivators into the grand array, Master Bishui wouldn’t have died so suddenly.

"Fellow Daoist Situ."

Ning Daoran’s figure flickered, turning into thunder to strike, transmitting, "As one of the three Peak Masters, you actually collude with robbery cultivators to scheme against the three peaks, it seems we cannot keep you!"

"You..."

Situ Yu hurriedly operated his movement technique, transforming into a tunneling light to quickly escape, simultaneously transmitting, "Are you Fellow Daoist Ning? Please don’t... listen to me explain, I was also forced, if I didn’t agree to cooperate, then Master Giant Whale would have annihilated my descendants and legacy, I hope you can spare..."

"Ssst!"

A thread of golden lightning flashed by, and Situ Yu’s body suddenly froze in mid-air, his face shocked as he looked towards Ning Daoran’s direction, unable to understand why the Peak Master of Luoxia Peak was so overwhelmingly powerful!

In the sky, the Thunder Sword’s light flashed and disappeared, retracted by Ning Daoran into his body.

With the issues of Purple and Green Three Peaks resolved, he quickly vanished into the woods. Not long after, he transformed into Master Qiu Shui, silently appearing in the grand array of Luoxia Peak.

The Robbery cultivation of the Giant Whale Sect was not entirely eliminated; many disciples escaped.

Thus, the news of Master Jiu Lei launching a massacre at the Purple and Green Three Peaks, killing Old Demon Xuanming, Master Giant Whale, Situ Yu, Yan Chen, and others, would soon spread.

This responsibility now lay squarely on the shoulders of Master Jiu Lei, and he probably would not object.

As for himself, Master Qiu Shui, he only did what was expected of him: activating the Array to defend Luoxia Peak and did nothing else that would expose any traces.

"Qianyuan Sect..."

In front of the Cave Mansion, Ning Daoran turned around and stared fiercely in the direction of the Qianyuan Sect.

The words from True Monarch Tu Yang, "Qianyuan Sect is under no obligation to rescue foreign Cultivators," caused a ripple in Ning Daoran’s heart. It seemed he had previously overestimated the Qianyuan Sect, even thinking they might rescue the Three Peaks.

He would remember this debt.

In the future, if there was an opportunity, he would certainly return the favor to Qianyuan Peak. If no such opportunity arose, then let it be; there was no need to seek revenge on the Qianyuan Sect on behalf of Master Bishui, especially since Ning Daoran had no deep friendship with him, and there was no need to risk his life for this.

There were just too many injustices in the Cultivation World that one couldn’t manage.

...

However, Ning Daoran still wanted to do something.

At the Purple and Green Three Peaks, during the dead of night, shadows of Second-class Paperfolk appeared on Purple Mist Peak and Qingxia Peak. They collected the corpses of the Robbery cultivators and left overnight.

The next morning, in front of the Mountain Gate of the Qianyuan Sect.

The corpses piled up like mountains, emitting a strong stench of blood.

Especially the corpses of Master Giant Whale, Old Demon Xuanming, Situ Yu, among others, were in a terrifyingly gruesome state.

In the morning, the Qianyuan Sect Disciples who planned to go down the mountain for training were stunned. The news quickly spread throughout the Sect, and it was clear to all these bodies belonged to the Robbery cultivators who attacked the Purple and Green Three Peaks the previous night.

Among them, Old Demon Xuanming and Master Giant Whale were both Golden Core Cultivators!

The group of disciples was terrified and broke out in a cold sweat.

But who exactly piled these Robbery cultivators’ corpses at the Qianyuan Sect’s Mountain Gate, and what was their intention?

Quickly, two figures flew from the Main Peak above; they were Monarch Qian Yuan and True Monarch Tu Yang, two Nascent Souls.

Both had extremely grim expressions.

Monarch Qian Yuan glanced at True Monarch Tu Yang without a trace of emotion, then turned and transmitted a message, "You handle the mess you’ve made. I couldn’t be bothered anymore."

Saying so, Monarch Qian Yuan transformed into a rainbow light and returned to his Cave Mansion.

"What are you waiting for?"

True Monarch Tu Yang’s gaze was icy as he spoke, "Piling these Robbery cultivators’ corpses at our Qianyuan Sect’s Mountain Gate is someone mocking our Sect for not aiding the foreign cultivators in the Outer Mountain. Where are the Deacon Disciples on duty today? Why haven’t they disposed of these bodies yet? Do you want outsiders to continue laughing at our Sect?"

"Yes, Deputy Sect Master!"

A group of Deacon Disciples quickly moved the bodies to bury them behind the mountains.

True Monarch Tu Yang’s eyes flashed with coldness as he glanced at the direction of the Purple and Green Three Peaks.

There were only two people who could do this.

One was Master Jiu Lei, as a show of power to the Qianyuan Sect.

The other, naturally, was the surviving Peak Master of the Purple and Green Three Peaks; his actions were clearly meant for the Qianyuan Sect to see, only currently there was no solid evidence to prove who exactly did it.

"Wait and see!"

True Monarch Tu Yang’s eyes shone coldly.

Luoxia Peak’s Master Qiu Shui once claimed to have been in the same Sect as Liu Ruyan. That was the only clue confirming his identity, thus True Monarch Tu Yang had already sent people to investigate Liu Ruyan’s background, hoping to trace it back to Master Qiu Shui.

Unfortunately, Liu Ruyan kept silent about Master Qiu Shui’s identity, and True Monarch Tu Yang was unwilling to press her.

Moreover, Liu Ruyan was formerly a cultivator from the Xia Country’s Cultivation World, so True Monarch Tu Yang’s people had to travel to Xia Country to continue their investigation. However, with the countries tens of thousands of miles apart, and only Foundation Establishment cultivators being sent, it was unlikely to get any responses for years.

Without solid evidence, True Monarch Tu Yang dared not confront Master Qiu Shui, as doing so would mean outright conflict with Liu Ruyan—something True Monarch Tu Yang was unwilling to risk, so he had to let it drop for the time being.

...

Thus, the Purple and Green Three Peaks restored peace once more.

Due to the Robbery cultivation incident, the Qianyuan Sect did not continue to rent out Purple Mist Peak and Qingxia Peak but instead posted some Outer Sect Disciples to take over these peaks and plant Spirit Rice and Spiritual Medicine.

Ning Daoran continued his secluded cultivation without emerging.

Just like that, three years passed in the blink of an eye.

This year, Ning Daoran turned 336, and once again made a breakthrough in his cultivation.

Within the Spirit Garden Cave Heaven, in a small wooden hut.

Ning Daoran sat cross-legged with strands of dark red Blood Qi spiraling around him, continuously condensing into the Dragon Demon Dharma Form. The Dragon Demon Heart Scripture took another step forward, officially breaking through to the Twenty Second Layer!

At this moment, an unexpected scene occurred in the Divine Soul World.

On the vast land, Ning Daoran sat on a rugged mountain peak surrounded by the aura of the Dragon Demon Realm. Underneath him lay a massive blue Bagua disc emanating the essence of Liangyi Sword Intent.

Just then, from within a thread of Liangyi Sword Intent, a dragon’s roar erupted, and this strand of Sword Intent subtly merged with the Dragon Demon Heart Scripture, giving rise to a sharp and prominent Dragon Demon Sword Intent!
