Fairy, shut up! I'm really not blondie.

Shangrao was stunned.

The icy beauty beside her also showed a hint of solemnity and said.

"Brother, are you referring to intelligence?"

"You're so clever. Here, I'll reward you with a grape."

As she fed the girl a peeled grape, Su Qing said calmly.

"Just like we want to know everything about the Black Stream."

"The Black Stream, which has evolved intelligence, would naturally think the same way."

"And human memory is, of course, the best source. Unfortunately, I did something to that sword master."

During the day.

When Su Qing approached.

A false memory was implanted into Jian Kui's body.

It falls into the subconscious.

Sword Master himself was unaware of it.

But if you get caught by the Black Stream and do some strange things...

This memory will surface and be captured by the black current.

The intelligence was simple.

Just one sentence.

"The Immortal Palace is outwardly strong but inwardly weak; now is the perfect time to attack. Quickly return and gather your disciples!"

After listening.

Shangrao fell into a long silence.

In other words.

From the moment this young man left behind his sword and fist, he was already planning what happened today.

Proceed step by step.

He turned the swordsman into a puppet who delivered false information on his behalf.

It's likely that even as he lay dying, the swordsman still believed he might actually escape back to Tai'a Palace.

But never thought about it.

I've long been a pawn in someone else's game.

It's the kind that fails after just one use.

Even more terrifying.

Shangrao realized this.

If that's really the case, then everything will proceed according to the boy's plan.

Soon.

It's even possible that tonight or tomorrow, a powerful black current will appear outside the gates of the Immortal Palace!

And here.

He was a hunter who had been waiting for a long time.

The boy leisurely popped fruit and pastries into his mouth.

He's so young.

Yet they dared to treat that calamity as their prey, scheming and plotting against it at every turn.

Such courage and intelligence...

For the first time, Shangrao felt an indescribable chill rise from the bottom of his heart.

They rose together.

There was also admiration and respect that she herself was reluctant to admit.

Have to admit.

this moment.

Shangrao's heart, which had been floating in mid-air, suddenly calmed down.

With this audacious and unfathomably powerful brat in front of him.

The impending black tide doesn't seem so terrible anymore.

Although she had absolutely no idea how the boy in front of her could resist the black current.

Are we going to have to confront them head-on?

That's it.

Shangrao suddenly stood up.

"Master?"

"I'm going to reinforce the defenses; there are still things that need to be done."

The next day.

It was just past noon.

The disciples of Tai'a Palace, who were feeling uneasy at the foot of the Immortal Palace Mountain, discovered this.

Suddenly it got dark.

At first, I just thought it was another blizzard.

But then.

The hairs on the boxer's body stood on end.

Standing up suddenly.

"Something's wrong."

"alert!"

The Fist Leader already held a high level of prestige within the Heaven-Shaking Sect.

In addition, his fearless fighting style earned him the love and respect of his subordinates and disciples.

Give an order.

The disciples of the Heaven-Shaking Sect immediately went on high alert.

They each struck a pose.

They can form ranks and fight the enemy at any time.

Too uniform and well-trained.

therefore.

This made the other group of people next to them stand out.

That group of people.

They were wearing the robes of disciples from the Tai'a Palace.

They were all huddled in the corner, their faces filled with sorrow and despair.

He felt as if all his strength had been drained away, and he lay limply on the ground.

They are very slow to react to what is happening in front of them.

unknown.

I thought they must have been seriously injured.

The boxing champion glanced over.

He frowned deeply.

"What are you doing?"

"stand up!"

A sound came down.

A rumbling sound echoed, like rocks rolling down.

This attracted the attention of the disciples of Tai'a Palace.

But even so.

Only a handful of people stood up.

They don't seem to have much fighting spirit yet.

someone shouted.

"You don't need to worry about us."

"Even the adults have abandoned us, how can we possibly return to the sect alive?"

Even if we went back, ha, what would be the point?

As soon as these words came out.

The few Tai'a Palace disciples who had stood up also slumped back down in dejection.

The boxer cursed inwardly.

He didn't see Jian Kui last night.

I thought that guy had gone to rest early.

did not expect.

That coward actually abandoned his disciples and ran away alone!

It's utterly despicable.

The situation at Tai'a Palace.

He had heard of it.

His rule was extremely strict.

If they are on a mission outside the main force, they will be abandoned immediately once they are separated from the main force.

This is to encourage disciples not to fall behind and to strive for continuous improvement in their cultivation.

The "main force" in the rules of Tai'a Palace is based on the strongest member.

In other words.

From the moment Jian Kui fled.

Those who fell behind became the disciples who remained.

Even if they returned to the sect with great difficulty, the words spoken by the Sword Master who arrived first, as well as the words spoken by the ordinary disciples, would still be remembered.

There is also a specific order.

Whom will the sect elders listen to?

There's no need to even think about it.

So from the moment Jian Kui left alone.

These disciples of Tai'a Palace were destined never to return.

This is not bad.

Maybe in a while.

They will also be hunted down by the sect.

The boxer spat.
