Gou Zai Sect Beast Taming Longevity

Tong Yuanzheng spoke eloquently, and as he continued to speak, Zhu Zhengping listened quietly, his brows furrowing almost imperceptibly.

"It's a bit outrageous, but to deal with a group of Foundation Establishment brats, we secretly deployed three Golden Core cultivators. Even though they were the weakest Golden Core cultivators, we still managed to kill them without knowing what tricks they had up their sleeves."

As Tong Yuanzheng spoke, an incredulous look appeared in his eyes. He showed no anger, only amazement.

"And this incident was also the trigger for the Myriad Manifestations Sect to launch an investigation into my Dark Stream, as you are aware of. However, what you may not know is that at that time, those in Huishui Mountain were not only members of my Dark Stream, but also your beloved disciple, Yan Ta."

Upon hearing this, Zhu Zhengping's eyes darkened slightly. He frowned and looked at Tong Yuanzheng expressionlessly, calmly saying, "When did you two get involved with my disciple? Don't you think you've gone too far?"

"That's your disciple. Without your disciple, how could we dare to make contact so rashly?" Tong Yuanzheng waved his hand and chuckled, not agreeing with Zhu Zhengping's words.

"This is your beloved student. He came to us on his own initiative. Over the years, we have done a lot for your beloved student, out of respect for you. It's just a pity. I am also very sorry about his final outcome."

At this point, Tong Yuanzheng let out a deep sigh, his tone revealing a hint of sadness, whether genuine or feigned.

Zhu Zhengping calmly watched Tong Yuanzheng, making no comment on his performance. After watching him finish expressing his true feelings, he remained silent, his lips twitching slightly.

Why?

"Why?" Tong Yuanzheng was speechless, then looked at Zhu Zhengping and shook his head with a smile. "Your disciple has quite the ambition. Like I said, especially since he's your disciple, it's not unreasonable for him to serve you."

Zhu Zhengping remained silent, staring intently at Tong Yuanzheng. Tong Yuanzheng, in turn, resumed his smiling expression, staring unblinkingly at Zhu Zhengping.

"In any case, he's fallen now. Go on, who killed him?"

"I don't know about this either. Several disciples of the Myriad Manifestations Sect entered Huishui Mountain during that period, but if I compare the time when the Yan Tower Soul Lamp shattered..."

Tong Yuanzheng paused, slowly exhaled, and his smiling expression vanished, replaced by a hint of seriousness:

"Although this is just a guess, I think the murderer is very likely to be Yu Changsheng, an inner disciple of the Myriad Manifestations Sect."

"Yu Changsheng?... "

Zhu Zhengping frowned, murmured something softly, and after a while looked at Tong Yuanzheng and continued to ask, "Tell me, what's his situation, and what conflict does he have with Yan Ta?"

"How would I know?"

Tong Yuanzheng pouted and smiled slightly: "Of course, I don't have any actual evidence for these things, and I don't know the specifics either."

"What is his cultivation level?" Zhu Zhengping asked in a deep voice, ignoring the implication in Tong Yuanzheng's words.

"Between the late Foundation Establishment stage and its peak," Tong Yuanzheng answered truthfully.

"Foundation Building?" Zhu Zhengping chuckled upon hearing this, looking at Tong Yuanzheng with a knowing expression that clearly conveyed his meaning.

In contrast, Tong Yuanzheng's response was simple: "I know what you're thinking, but think about what I said. Even with three Golden Core cultivators like myself, I was still killed by the opponent. Even if Yan Ta is a Golden Core cultivator, how can we guarantee that nothing unexpected will happen?"

"That's too small." Zhu Zhengping shook his head, his expression returning to calm. "You're right, we really should be careful about Yu Changsheng."

"but……"

Zhu Zhengping paused, his gaze suddenly turning cold as he stared sharply at Tong Yuanzheng. His previously calm demeanor surged and rose instantly, a terrifying pressure bearing down on Tong Yuanzheng.

"However, these are all matters of my Sha Mountain. Tong Yuanzheng, aren't you meddling a bit too much? Or do you think you can incite conflict between me and the Myriad Manifestations Sect with just a few words?"

"If that's the case, then you'll really be disappointed."

Tong Yuanzheng pursed his lips, shook his head slightly, and quickly waved his hand with a smile. A fleeting shadow of gloom crossed his eyes:

"I didn't say that. If you want to investigate these things, you can easily find out. I have no reason to lie to you about this. I'm just stating a fact."

Zhu Zhengping remained unmoved, his gaze fixed on Tong Yuanzheng. A faint glint flashed in his eyes, and after a long pause, he spoke softly:

"I know what you're thinking, but over the years, your underworld has indeed become a bit too ruthless, especially you. You've acted recklessly in recent years, so I'm not surprised at all that this year happened."

"Now, many forces in Wuzhou regard you as a thorn in their side. At this time, it is obviously unwise for you to ask my Xuan Yin Sect to help you. Moreover, it is only now that you have remembered who is in charge. Giving you a warning is your own fault."

Zhu Zhengping's voice was cold and unreadable, revealing no particular emotion. He tapped his fingers lightly on the coffee table, his eyes slightly narrowed as he watched Tong Yuanzheng's every move.

Tong Yuanzheng remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath and spoke in a low voice: "Now, our Dark Currents are besieged on all sides in Wuzhou. Over the years, you've complained that our Dark Currents are becoming increasingly blatant, fearing trouble. But how much of this have you actually condoned?"

Tong Yuanzheng sneered, his figure as solid as a rock in the sea, letting Zhu Zhengping's oppressive aura press down on him without moving, and continued to speak.

"If we're talking about benefits, wouldn't the greatest advantages ultimately flow to your Xuan Yin Sect? Now that the Undercurrents have encountered such a change, are you willing to give it up?"

Zhu Zhengping frowned, looking at Tong Yuanzheng who seemed indifferent, and sneered, "I think you still haven't figured out your place, Tong Yuanzheng. You're too arrogant, and overly arrogant people are usually hard to control."

"To our Xuan Yin Sect, Dark Current is merely a tool, a dog. And tools don't need to have their own thoughts. As for Dark Current, if it's gone, it's gone. I can easily cultivate a new one. As for you, why can't you just give up on me?"

Tong Yuanzheng remained silent for a long time, then suddenly chuckled and gave Zhu Zhengping a deep look: "You're scared."

"Um?!"

Zhu Zhengping frowned, instantly stood up, and an even more immense pressure descended upon Tong Yuanzheng. Tong Yuanzheng remained unmoved, instead calmly chuckling and stating with even greater certainty:

"You're scared, not of anyone else, but of me, aren't you?"

Before he could finish speaking, Tong Yuanzheng shook his head and chuckled. After glancing at Zhu Zhengping again, his body flickered and slowly merged into the shadows, disappearing without a trace, leaving only a chilling voice echoing in the hall.

"In any case, with undercurrents of assassination and Wuzhou in a state of rage, Zhu Zhengping, such opportunities are rare..."

Zhu Zhengping remained expressionless and did not stop Tong Yuanzheng from leaving.

Silence returned to the main hall. After a long while, Zhu Zhengping finally snapped out of his reverie, looked at the empty hall, and shook his head with a smile.

"Afraid of you? How utterly ridiculous."

"However, with Tar's demise, this matter did not end so easily."

Zhu Zhengping muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with a cold light as he spoke. His refined demeanor vanished, replaced by waves of Ling Tian's murderous aura.

"In recent years, my Xuan Yin Sect has perhaps been dormant for too long, to the point that the world has somewhat forgotten about it. In fact, in recent years, many prodigies have emerged in the outside world..."

Zhu Zhengping exhaled, his gaze passing through the house to the other two mountains, and he smiled coldly:

"Very well, since both of you have remained silent, then let my Sha lineage take the lead. We cultivators have been dormant for too long. How can we hone our Dao hearts? Since we prove our Dao through killing, how can we comprehend the true Dao if we remain too calm?"

Amidst the swirling mist, Zhu Zhengping frowned, and a torrent of divine thoughts surged forth, covering the entire Sha Mountain. Astonishing fluctuations swept across the void, transforming into thunderclaps in broad daylight, echoing and exploding throughout Sha Mountain.

"The Xuan Yin Sect's Sha Shan lineage has fully emerged today. All disciples of our Sha Shan lineage who meet the requirements are welcome to leave the mountain for training. Soon, we will invite the most outstanding disciples from all sects in Tian Sha City to a battle to uphold our sect's prestige and let all the major and minor forces in the Martial Continent see who truly reigns supreme among these three sects and six factions!"

In an instant, the Fiend Mountain trembled, and the Evil Mountain and the Ferocious Mountain were shocked. They all turned their gazes toward it, filled with surprise and doubt, and fell silent.

"What? You, the Ferocious Mountain lineage and the Evil Mountain lineage, dare not?"

After Zhu Zhengping finished speaking, he looked towards the other two mountains and spoke calmly. The disciples of Sha Mountain also looked in that direction, and a terrifying storm of evil energy seemed to gather between them, raging through the void.

I'm currently reading the error-free version! This is the first time I've published this novel.

"What is there to be afraid of?"

Within the ominous and malevolent mountains, someone lowered their head and sighed, helpless in the face of such overwhelming power. Ultimately, however, their voices transformed into thunderous applause as a response.

"The ominous mountain, emerging together!"

"Evil mountains, all originate from the same source!"

As a result, the Xuan Yin Sect was shaken, and streaks of light, carrying invitations, flew out in all directions, heading towards the various sects of Martial Continent.

"That's more like it."

Outside the Xuan Yin Gate Plain, Tong Yuanzheng's figure appeared. He looked at the three mountains of Xuan Yin Gate, smiled slightly, and finally clasped his hands in a bow towards the place where the Sha Mountain was located before his figure completely disappeared.

At the same time, Zhu Zhengping seemed to sense something, his gaze piercing through the endless void to look at the place where Tong Yuanzheng was, a profound meaning appearing in his expression.

For Tong Yuanzheng, this result was what he wanted to see. Regardless of whether Zhu Zhengping actually helped him with the undercurrent, as long as he decided to come out of seclusion, the outside world's attention on the Xuan Yin Sect would inevitably be drawn to him, and the pressure on his side would be reduced.

Soon, news of the emergence of the three branches of the Xuan Yin Sect and the invitation extended to the most outstanding talents of the Martial Continent in Tian Sha City for a battle swept across the entire Martial Continent. As invitations were sent out, they caused a great uproar.

In an instant, countless forces, large and small, were shaken and discussed the matter. Furthermore, the high-ranking members of the other two sects and six factions gathered and released divine thought projections to exchange ideas within the main hall of the Myriad Manifestations Sect.

"What does the Xuan Yin Sect mean by this? They let the undercurrents go unpunished, but instead they pulled this stunt."

The first to ask a question was the Azure Thunder Sect, one of the six sects. Their voice was like thunder, resounding all around, and their divine sense also revealed a hint of madness.

"The purpose of the Xuan Yin Sect's actions is quite simple. You and I both know the relationship between the Dark Current Sect and the Xuan Yin Sect, so there's no need to elaborate further."

"And at this very moment, the Xuan Yin Sect is making such a high-profile appearance, isn't it just to draw our attention and give the undercurrents a chance to breathe?"

The one who responded to him was also the sect leader of the Crimson Fire Sect, one of the six sects, who spoke calmly.

"I'm afraid it's not that simple," the sect leader of Wunian Sect shook his head and said in a low voice, "Everyone knows about Xuanyin Sect. Its disciples are all bloodthirsty and murderous cultivators, and the techniques they practice are almost demonic."

"That is, a thousand years ago, we were suppressed by the other sects, which made us much more restrained and keep a low profile. Now, we are making such a high-profile announcement..."

"This is a show of force against us, especially the contents of their invitation. I'm sure everyone has seen it. If we ignore them this time... it will not only make them lose face, but they will also think we are afraid. If they are fully reborn in the future, they will only become more frenzied and unscrupulous, repeating the scene from a thousand years ago."

After the sect leader of Wunian Sect finished speaking, he said no more and simply turned his attention to the other sect leaders.

The others remained silent, their eyes gleaming as they weighed their options.

"The sect leader of Wunian Sect is right," after a long while, the sect leader of Bahuang Sect, one of the six sects, spoke up in agreement and continued, "This time, if we do not respond, it will only embolden them and diminish our own morale. Xuanyin Sect is used to being domineering."

"This time, setting up a competition in Tian Sha City is ostensibly to hone the talents of various sects and showcase the vigor of the new generation. To put it bluntly, isn't it just an attempt to test who truly is the master of this Martial Continent and the number one among the three sects?"

After speaking, the sect leader of the Overlord Sect chuckled and turned his gaze over the others, finally settling on the people from the Purple Rainbow Sect and the Seven Star Sect.

Of the three gates, apart from the Xuan Yin Gate, the other two are the Zi Hong Gate and the Qi Xing Gate. And the divine senses that have arrived at this moment are the most vast and powerful, revealing the might of the Purple Mansion.

Therefore, the other six sects naturally followed his opinion, and their expressions revealed a hint of respect.

The divine projection that arrived from the Seven Star Gate was an old man with white hair, wearing a long robe, with a ruddy complexion, a face that could be described as youthful yet white-haired. His eyebrows rose and fell like a dragon, with a unique charm. His eyes seemed to hold the illusion of stars, and in their depths seemed to contain the ultimate truths of heaven and earth, making people sink into them.

Everyone, including those from the Purple Rainbow Sect, looked at the old man with genuine respect. This was because he was not only the Grand Elder of the Seven Star Sect, a cultivator at the Purple Mansion level, but also an expert in divination and fortune-telling. The Seven Star Elder of the Seven Star Sect was renowned throughout the entire Martial Continent.

With his superb astrological skills, he was highly respected in Wuzhou, and the sect leaders present all received his favor to varying degrees.

After all, the art of fortune-telling is inherently mysterious and obscure, and its applications are boundless in the world of cultivation. (End of Chapter)
