The news that four evil sects in Huayang Commandery were annihilated was too explosive, so in just two or three days’ time, it spread throughout all of Qingyang Commandery!

The various forces and rogue cultivators who learned the news—their first reaction was to widen their eyes.

One day’s time, consecutively annihilating four sixth-rate evil sects?

This… wasn’t very possible, right?

Later, quite a few forces obtained confirmation through connections in Huayang Commandery, and all were deeply shocked!

“My heavens!”

“This is also too terrifying!”

“Those were four sixth-rate evil sects, not eighth or ninth-rate—they were annihilated just like that?”

When many martial artists discussed this, they felt very satisfied in their hearts.

Because of Death Valley, many Huayang Commandery evil sect forces would have conflicts with Qingyang Commandery forces.

The most well-known instance was three years ago when a seventh-rate sect, because their disciples were hunting in the valley and had a conflict with sixth-rate evil sect disciples, was ultimately razed to the ground.

Wait!

The one who annihilated the Qingyang Commandery force was precisely Wind and Rain Pavilion!

At that time, Wind and Rain Pavilion sent two elders and several hundred disciples in a grand procession. Not only did they annihilate the seventh-rate sect, they also killed quite a few elderly, weak, women, and children—cruel to the point of being heinous.

What about the Hundred Sects Alliance?

At the time, Qin Haoran had tried to mediate the conflict between the two sects, but the other party was set on annihilation, so he could only turn a blind eye.

In short, as long as Qingyang Commandery forces provoked Huayang Commandery forces, especially evil sects, they could only accept their bad luck and chicken out.

How frustrating, how stifling.

Now the Tiegu Sect went to Huayang Commandery to find trouble and domineeringly annihilated four sixth-rate evil sects—for Qingyang Commandery martial artists, this truly allowed them to hold their heads high with pride!

At that moment.

Many forces or individuals who had suffered bullying from evil sects all regarded Jun Changxiao with lofty respect while conveniently disdaining the ineffective Hundred Sects Alliance.

……

Righteous Qi Gate.

Alliance Leader Qin sat in the head seat, his facial expression extremely unpleasant, his hands even more tightly gripping the armrests.

He was currently very angry!

How could he not be angry?

The sixth-rate evil sects he himself didn’t dare provoke were consecutively annihilated by Jun Changxiao—this wasn’t just slapping his own face, it was also slapping the Hundred Sects Alliance’s face!

Without a doubt.

The martial artists of Qingyang Commandery, upon learning of this, would definitely greatly admire that brat. He himself and the Alliance would only suffer their contempt.

Without comparison, there’s no harm.

“Hmph.”

Shen Tong sneered, “There are quite a few evil sect forces in Huayang Commandery. That Jun Changxiao daring to annihilate four will definitely provoke public outrage, thereby bringing even greater trouble.”

“That’s right.”

Situ Wang said indifferently, “Evil sect forces aren’t to be trifled with. Once you provoke them, the Tiegu Sect will surely face calamity.”

“At that time, the martial artists of Qingyang Commandery will understand why we in the Hundred Sects Alliance chose silence,” another big shot said.

Alliance Leader Qin, who had originally been very angry, immediately relaxed.

“Now.”

He paused and said, “We just wait for big trouble!”

Annihilating four sixth-rate evil sects to vent anger for Qingyang Commandery, while sitting and waiting to watch the joke—this group of people truly had no salvation!

……

While martial artists outside were still discussing the Tiegu Sect, Sect Master Jun, after finishing cultivation, came to the medicine garden.

Every time he came here, he would see the spiritual power condensing in the air was noticeably stronger than before, giving a feeling that seemed both real and illusory.

“Elder Wei.”

Jun Changxiao said, “When will the spiritual energy in this mountain revive?”

Although he had the Ten-Fold Spirit Gathering Array and also had Qi Gathering Pills, he still felt his cultivation speed wasn’t fast enough, so what he could rely on was spiritual energy revival and mining out spirit stone veins.

Elder Wei said, “Quickly, three to five months. Slowly, three to five years.”

At the fastest, it still needed several months—this immediately rendered Jun Changxiao speechless.

Spiritual energy revival required an opportunity and conditions. Forcibly mining veins would only cause destruction, so no matter how urgent, he had to wait.

“Sect Master.”

Just at this moment, Li Qingyang came to report, “Elder Ma from Cangshan Sect has come to visit. He’s already in the great hall, his expression anxious—seems like something’s happened.”

“Is that so?”

Jun Changxiao headed toward the great hall.

As soon as he stepped inside, Ma Yunteng said urgently, “Sect Master Jun, you annihilated four evil sects in Huayang Commandery?”

“That’s right.”

Jun Changxiao said.

“Trouble, trouble.” Ma Yunteng’s brows furrowed even tighter.

Jun Changxiao said, “What’s wrong?”

Ma Yunteng’s expression was grave as he said, “Has Sect Master Jun heard of Godslayer Hall?”

“Godslayer Hall?”

Jun Changxiao shook his head and said, “Never heard of it.”

Ma Yunteng said, “This is a third-rate evil sect that ranks equally with Demonic Evil Sect. They have a branch in Huayang Commandery.”

“I didn’t offend Godslayer Hall,” Jun Changxiao said.

Ma Yunteng said, “You didn’t offend Godslayer Hall, but you offended several evil sects in Huayang Commandery.”

Jun Changxiao seemed to understand something and said, “Elder Ma’s meaning is that Godslayer Hall will stand up for the four annihilated evil sects and come find trouble with my Tiegu Sect?”

“Correct.”

Elder Ma said gravely.

“…” Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched.

I just managed to settle Demonic Evil Sect by relying on Old Master Shangguan’s influence, and now I’ve provoked another third-rate evil sect—isn’t my luck just too terrible?

The System said, “It’s not bad luck, you brought it on yourself.”

“Scram,” Jun Changxiao said.

Ma Yunteng said gravely, “This Godslayer Hall is even more troublesome than Demonic Evil Sect. If the other party insists on standing up for the four evil sects, they will definitely come to Qingyang Commandery. Sect Master Jun, please prepare early!”

“Mm.” Jun Changxiao said.

He couldn’t even provoke Demonic Evil Sect, so he definitely couldn’t provoke Godslayer Hall either!

“Sect Master Jun had best quickly go find Old Master Shangguan and inform him of the situation,” Ma Yunteng offered advice.

Jun Changxiao said, “I just troubled him—going to seek help again, I feel a bit embarrassed.”

Ma Yunteng said speechlessly, “When Godslayer Hall comes killing, that will be a major crisis. Why is Sect Master Jun still concerned about embarrassment?”

“That’s true.”

Jun Changxiao said, “I’ll head to Zhengyang City immediately.”

Saying this, he walked out of the great hall, first activating the Sect Protection Grand Array again, then having disciples cultivate within the sect and not casually leave.

“Sect Master.”

Li Luoqiu used Sound Transmission Technique to say, “News has come from Huayang Commandery. Godslayer Hall has assembled twenty evil sects and is currently coming to kill our Tiegu Sect with great momentum.”

Who gave the information?

Song Si!

He and the Ghost Hand Sect Master went to the Godslayer Hall branch together. Learning that the other party had assembled so many evil sects to demand justice for the four annihilated evil sects, he secretly contacted Fine Rain Hall’s informants.

“How many people, what strength, when will they arrive?” Jun Changxiao said.

Li Luoqiu said, “Two Martial Kings, twelve Martial Sect Masters, sect disciples totaling around ten thousand, estimated to arrive early tomorrow morning!”

“Holy crap.”

Jun Changxiao’s mouth twitched as he said, “What a big show of force!”

“Sect Master Jun.”

Ma Yunteng walked out from the great hall and said, “Why are you still standing there? Quickly go to Zhengyang City.”

“It’s fine, it’s fine.”

Jun Changxiao said, “I have the Hurricane Wolf King—I’ll get there very quickly.”

“Alright then.”

Ma Yunteng cupped his hands and said, “Then Ma will take his leave first and return to discuss further with the Sect Master.”

“Jun won’t see you off,” Jun Changxiao cupped his hands and said.

He didn’t plan to tell Ma Yunteng the news that Godslayer Hall and many evil sects were coming to kill, because if the other party knew, he definitely wouldn’t leave.

The trouble he himself caused, he would face himself—how could he feel comfortable implicating this friend?
