When he looked up at Wuhua, his eyes were filled with admiration and respect for his senior brother who was younger than him.

But Wu Hua pretended not to know.

Upon hearing Xu Zhu recount Kumārajīva's sneak attack methods, Zhao Tianhao was both shocked and impressed.

Startled by the near-death experience, he was distracted and had no time to block the finger for Jiang Sishui.

It is said that the "Formless Finger of Calamity" is an exceptionally powerful and domineering finger technique, which unleashes a burst of intense pure Yang energy, charring the body of those struck as if they were on fire.

It was extremely dangerous!

Fortunately, Jiang Sishui was quick-witted and a Grandmaster in the later stages, so she reacted swiftly; otherwise, her daughter would probably have cried herself to death.

Requesting flowers (or flowers)

Admiring Kumārajīva's mastery and profound skill in the "Formless Finger Technique".

The Shaolin Seventy-Two Arts are all incredibly powerful, but the more powerful they are, the harder one must work to master them. Many eminent monks only learned three or four of them in their entire lives.

The "Formless Finger of Calamity" is one of the most outstanding finger techniques, and the deeper one's internal strength, the more powerful and ferocious it becomes.

Kumārajīva's finger strike just now made Zhao Tianhao feel a strong threat.

The most terrifying thing is that when Kumārajīva's left hand was hidden in the monk's sleeve, the hem of the monk's sleeve did not even flutter when he suddenly exerted his finger strength.

Such skill truly deserves the description of "formless and traceless".

Zhao Tianhao looked serious, but Kumārajīva ignored him and stared intently at Jiang Sishui.

His finger strike was incredibly powerful. Although Jiang Sishui's sword strike was exquisite, it should have shattered the blade and been struck by the residual force, making her wish she were dead.

But that is not the case.

This was because his longsword was also covered with a layer of powerful true energy.

The true energy countered the finger force, easily breaking through it.

But he was already at the sixth level of Grandmaster. What level of cultivation would the other party need to achieve this?

Kumārajīva's expression turned grim upon sensing the aura leaked when Jiang Sishui drew her sword.

Late-stage Grandmaster!

This kid is actually a late-stage Grandmaster, even stronger than him!

This was something Kumārajīva could hardly believe.

After Jiang Sishui deflected Kumārajīva's sneak attack with a single sword strike, he laughed and said, "I never expected that a nobody like me would actually have the Tibetan National Preceptor personally come down to launch a sneak attack. I am truly honored."

Zhao Mengjiao went even further, cursing: "You have no martial ethics, you shameless scoundrel! How can someone like you be the national advisor? Does Tibet only produce treacherous and shameless people?!"

Although she and Jiang Sishui didn't get along, Jiang Sishui was still one of her own. Moreover, Kumārajīva launched a sneak attack in front of the Central Plains Escort Agency, which meant he didn't take them seriously.

Therefore, Zhao Mengjiao was also extremely angry. Her stubborn temper flared up, and she pointed at Kumārajīva's nose and started cursing.

Kumārajīva's face darkened, but he was thick-skinned and didn't argue with the two of them. Instead, he changed the subject.

"This benefactor is truly a prodigy! Last night, he entered the 'Precious Illusion Array,' not only emerging unscathed but also demonstrating a great improvement in martial arts. This humble monk is truly impressed."

076 My Free and Unfettered Sect, born today.

What? This kid entered the "Precious Illusion Array" and came out in just one night, and his martial arts have greatly improved?

In an instant, all eyes of the hundreds of people present turned to Jiang Sishui.

Who hasn't heard of the terrifying reputation of the "Precious Illusion Array"?

Of those below the level of the gods, only one in ten who manages to break through the formation survives.

Several powerful beings, including those at the Celestial Realm level, perished inside.

It is precisely because of this obstacle that the mystery of Leigu Mountain has never been unveiled.

If what Kumārajīva said is true, then Jiang Sishui has accomplished something that no one has ever done before.

For a time, many people were eager to get the secret of the illusion array out of Jiang Sishui.

Although Jiang Sishui is a grandmaster, he cannot control everyone.

Immediately, someone stepped forward and said, "What this master said is true. I also witnessed this brother rushing into the formation. His wisdom and courage make me feel ashamed."

The crowd turned to look and discovered that the one speaking was none other than Murong Fu of Gusu, also known as "Southern Murong"!

Behind Murong Fu were four powerful retainers and three stunning beauties.

One of them was so beautiful that she was like a celestial being, leaving people either in awe, drooling with envy, or feeling ashamed of their own appearance.

It was Wang Yuyan and Zhu Bi, the two beauties.

The three women became secretly anxious when they saw that Murong Fu had actually gotten involved and was subtly attacking Jiang Sishui.

Although they had seen through Murong Fu's true colors and had given up those inappropriate thoughts, their more than ten years of friendship from childhood remained.

Murong Fu's move to oppose Jiang Sishui was something they did not want to see.

Because the consequences of opposing Jiang Sishui are almost predictable and tragic.

For a moment, while the three women were worried, they couldn't help but secretly complain, "Why did you go and provoke him when you had no grudge against him?"

Murong Fu's words caused a stir among the crowd.

That Tibetan monk just now shamelessly launched a sneak attack, which clearly shows he has poor character, and it's also possible he's lying and slandering someone.

But if even the renowned "Southern Murong" of Suzhou said so, then how could it be false?

So most people believed it.

Just then, Jiang Sishui burst into laughter: "Leigu Mountain was originally occupied by my Xiaoyao Sect, and the 'Zhenlong Illusion Array' was also set up by my master. What's so strange about me being able to come and go freely there?"

The Carefree Sect? Isn't this the Deaf and Mute Sect? How did it become the Carefree Sect?

The assembled heroes were all taken aback upon hearing this.

Immediately afterwards, all eyes turned to Su Xinghe.

Su Xinghe was also looking at Jiang Sishui.

To be precise, Su Xinghe had been watching Jiang Sishui ever since he appeared.

Moreover, his emotions fluctuated wildly, clearly indicating that he was far from calm.

Sitting opposite him, Shen Lang could clearly see excitement, joy, sorrow, anger, and satisfaction in his cloudy old eyes.

He wanted to step forward to pay his respects, but Jiang Sishui stopped him with a look from the start.

Faced with everyone's questions, Su Xinghe stood up and said, "I am Su Xinghe, the sect leader of the Deaf and Mute Sect, and also a disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sect."

He then pointed to Jiang Sishui: "And this young brother is a member of our sect, my junior brother."

The assembled heroes suddenly understood.

As for why the "deaf and mute" Mr. Congbian suddenly became able to hear and speak, they didn't know, but they weren't surprised.

Because Su Xinghe had already spoken up before.

Only Su Xinghe's disciples, the "Eight Friends of Hangu Pass," knew that their master was no longer pretending to be deaf and dumb; that meant he was determined to fight Ding Chunqiu to the death.

Immediately afterwards, the "Eight Friends of Hangu Pass" all looked at Jiang Sishui, wondering when they had gained a junior uncle.

But since Su Xinghe had admitted it, they had no choice but to believe him, so they quickly stepped forward and knelt down: "We greet Junior Uncle!"

Seeing her master Kang Guangling among them, Abi, who was behind Murong Fu, hesitated for a moment, then stepped forward and said sweetly, "Abi greets Grand Uncle, Master, and all the other uncles and senior uncles."

As she spoke, she gracefully prepared to kneel down.

Jiang Sishui reached out and supported her.

Abi looked up in confusion and saw Jiang Sishui giving her a gentle smile and saying softly, "No need for formalities."

Then he said to the "Eight Friends of Hangu Pass": "You may all get up."

Their skin touched, and Abi blushed slightly, hastily withdrawing her hand.

After hesitating for a moment, she finally stood behind her master, Kang Guangling.

The assembled heroes were all somewhat taken aback by this scene.

Although I've never heard of the Free and Unfettered Sect, it seems to have quite a bit of influence.

The Deaf-Mute Sect was founded by a disciple of the Free and Unfettered Sect.

The legendary healer Xue Muhua, known as the "enemy of Yama," is a carefree man.

Even that girl from the Murong family whose identity is unknown is a disciple of the Xiaoyao Sect.

Besides Su Xinghe, an even younger Grandmaster has emerged.

Most importantly, Jiang Sishui just said that the "Precious Illusion Array" that can trap and kill celestial beings was set up by his master!

If you connect all the dots, the Free and Unfettered Sect must be at least a top-tier power, right?

Of course, this is all on the premise that the master Jiang Sishui mentioned is still alive...

Zhao Tianhao naturally thought of these things as well. While he was astonished, he couldn't help but think, "In that case, the senior he met last night must be his master."

"However, did he just become a disciple last night, or was he already a member of the Free and Unfettered Sect this morning?"
