Chapter 252 Departure
Gan Ning's flying sword is located in the middle section of Sword Mountain.

Seeing his fellow disciples letting Zhou Qing ride his sword at them, Gan Ning was furious and cursed his fellow disciples for being so useless.

He vowed that once Zhou Qing stepped onto his flying sword, he would definitely teach Zhou Qing a lesson.

In the blink of an eye, Zhou Qing boarded his flying sword.

Gan Ning's flying sword trembled, like a fish swimming in water, its tip pointing at Zhou Qing's foot as he stepped forward.

Zhou Qing seemed oblivious, continuing to step forward.

Gan Ning was secretly pleased, thinking, "Later, when I unleash my sword energy, even if I can't cut off your feet, I can at least cut off your robe and make you look bad."

He was about to activate his flying sword when his expression suddenly changed drastically.

He felt a tremendous force forcibly straightening his flying sword.

The flying sword that was originally aimed at Zhou Qing has once again become a level one sword from Long Sword Mountain.

Zhou Qing didn't even glance at him, casually stepping across on his sword as if it were just an ordinary little thing.

The dozens of levels of the sword mountain were traversed in the blink of an eye.

Chen Xiao made a final effort, but still couldn't shake Zhou Qing's magnetic field.

Zhou Qing stepped from Sword Mountain into Tianyi Pavilion.

Looking back, all the disciples of Chongshui Sect were utterly dejected.

With a thought, he sent all the dozens of flying swords flying away from their respective masters and heading towards Zhou Qing.

The flying swords obediently circled Zhou Qing once before returning along the same path and planting themselves in the ground in front of their respective masters.

The sword swayed incessantly, just like the inner turmoil of these Chongshui Sect disciples.

They had heard Zhou Qing's legends many times yesterday, but none of them could compare to the shock of experiencing it firsthand.

They suddenly realized that Zhou Qing had climbed the Sword Mountain and finally become the great mountain in their hearts.

Zhou Qing entered Tianyi Pavilion, cupped his hands to the sect leader and elders of Chongshui Sect, and said with a smile, "Fellow Daoists, Zhou Qing greets you."

Inside Tianyi Pavilion, all the elders wore solemn expressions.

Just like the disciples outside, they could also feel the invisible power emanating from Zhou Qing.

The Three Mysterious Immortals laughed and said, "With you, fellow Daoist, leading the Qingyun Sect, it will surely become a leader in our Western Continent. Let us congratulate the Qingyun Sect!"

……

Zhou Qing spent half a day eating and drinking at Chongshui Sect.

The Chongshui Sect belongs to the Northern Alliance, which is in competition with or even hostile to the Nine Sects Alliance. Naturally, they have nothing of value to talk about and can only go through the motions.

During the banquet, everyone from the sect leader to the elders of Chongshui Sect praised his amazing talent and predicted that he would become a first-rate figure in the Western Continent.

They practically described Zhou Qing as a genius unlike any other in the world.

Zhou Qing thought that this wasn't entirely wrong, but the Chongshui Sect's relentless praise was clearly ill-intentioned.

Such a genius, unprecedented in heaven and earth, is clearly not something that the Dharma propagation center would be happy to see.

Chongshui Sect is trying to disrupt the tense nerves of the Hongfa Daochang (Buddhist propagation center) and use the power of the Nascent Soul Daochang to eliminate them.

Zhou Qing didn't mind at all, so he accepted all their praise.

After the banquet, Zhou Qing went straight back to Chenyuan Inn.

Ming Ying, Xiao Xiao, and the others had not left yet.

Upon his return, everyone inquired about the events of the banquet. When they heard about his suppression of a generation of disciples of the Chongshui Sect, they couldn't help but sigh repeatedly.

Xiao Xiao said, "This is also a misfortune for Chongshui Sect. I'm afraid that for the next three or four generations, the disciples of Chongshui Sect will live in Brother Zhou's shadow. Only when those disciples who have not yet witnessed Brother Zhou's prowess enter the sect can this matter be gradually resolved."

Ming Ying shook his head and said, "It's not just the Chongshui Sect; the entire Western Continent is like this."

Zhou Qing smiled and asked, "Brother Xiao, where do you plan to go after you leave this place?" Xiao Xiao didn't answer but instead asked, "Brother Zhou, are you going to our Cloud Mist Valley next?"

Zhou Qing nodded.

Xiao Xiao immediately gave a wry smile.

Everyone understood why Zhou Qing went to Cloud Mist Valley.

He will challenge the leader of Cloud Mist Valley, just as he challenged the Three Mysterious Immortals.

This is something that no sect can accept.

Xiao Xiao was caught in the middle and found herself in a difficult position.

He said, "Why don't my junior sister and I accompany Brother Zhou to Cloud Mist Valley? Then we can introduce you to the Sect Leader."

If possible, they still want to try to ease tensions between the two sides.

Zhou Qing shook his head and said, "It's not that I'm unwilling to accept Brother Xiao's kindness, but my journey ahead will be extremely dangerous, and it's not a good thing for Brother Xiao and Junior Sister Lin to travel with me."

Xiao Xiao understood what he meant.

He nodded and said, "Then let's go our separate ways and meet again in Cloud Mist Valley."

Xiao Xiao and Lin Li left Chongshui Sect Market the next day and returned to Cloud Mist Valley.

The Yin siblings continued their travels.

Having been away from their family for only half a year, they were amazed by what they had seen, and the arrogance and restlessness they had developed in the family were swept away.

On the third day, Zhou Qing also appeared and headed towards Cloud Mist Valley.

He continued to use the same method as before, sometimes flying and sometimes walking.

Not long after leaving Chongshuizong Market, he realized he was being followed.

There were more than a dozen people following them, all of whom were at the Foundation Establishment stage.

Zhou Qing initially thought they were people sent by the demonic sect or the Dharma propagation center to test him, but then he realized they didn't seem like it.

It's impossible for the demonic path and the Dharma propagation center to send Foundation Establishment cultivators to test him.

Especially after his battle with the Three Mysterious Immortals.

Before figuring out their intentions, Zhou Qing decided to remain calm and wait for them to make their move.

After seven or eight days, the dozen or so Foundation Establishment cultivators following behind him finally couldn't stand it anymore.

That evening, Zhou Qing was planning to build a nest in a big tree to spend the night when a series of strong wind-breaking sounds rang out in the forest, and in the blink of an eye, more than a dozen people surrounded him.

Zhou Qing had only seen them before through the Heavenly Net and in the form of spiritual pressure, and did not know their faces.

Now that they were face to face, Zhou Qing realized that these people were men and women, old and young, and their clothes were all different styles, clearly a motley crew.

Zhou Qing knew that he might have overestimated these people.

They are not from any demonic sect or Buddhist temple; they are not even disciples of major sects. They are just a group of people from small families, and some are even independent cultivators.

That's why they are so arrogant and ignorant.

Zhou Qing shook his head helplessly, thinking to himself that he was not used to the sudden appearance of some low-level figures after spending his days scheming against high-level forces.

Zhou Qing asked, "What brings you all here to see me?"

A one-eyed giant standing about five or six zhang in front of him said, "Zhou Qing, we know you are powerful, but we have already found out that your power only comes from your formations. You are nothing special."

"If there's only one opponent, you can still react in time. But with so many of us against you, how many can your formation handle?"

"We don't want to take your life. If you know what's good for you, hand over your formation to us, and we'll ensure your safe departure."

Zhou Qing narrowed his eyes slightly and said, "Putting everything else aside for now, tell me, where did you get the information that my strength comes from the formation?"
