Ming Zhitian asked, "Compared to you, how is his strength?"
Huo Longgang replied, "He can't beat me. He's only at the fifth level of the Xiuluo Realm."
Ming Zhitian nodded with satisfaction. "I thought he was quite formidable. Now I can rest easy."
Huo Longgang couldn't help but ask curiously, "Did he offend you?"
Ming Zhitian, with nothing else to do, told him, "When I was still in the Qi Cultivation realm, he stole my magic artifact."
Huo Longgang couldn't help but look up at him. "Then Wu Shang Jin Bie deserves to die."
Ming Zhitian smiled faintly. "Huo Longguo, you're quite astute."
"Indeed, indeed!" Huo Longgang, having forgotten his pain, was ignored by Ming Zhitian.
Soon, they arrived at Lanshan Lake Sea, a place of shifting mountains and seas, surrounded by lakes and oceans, with ethereal mist swirling. The boundless reflection of Lanshan formed towering mountains in the distance, which were complemented by the surrounding scenery, creating a harmonious blend of mountains and water.
Ming Zhitian threw Huo Longgang's battered body down. Upon returning to his own territory, Huo Longgang was no longer subservient.
He roared, "Supreme Sect Leader, save me! Sect Leaders and fellow disciples, save me! Huo Longgang seeks rescue! Quickly apprehend the intruder!"
Ming Zhitian chuckled. "Do you think I wouldn't dare to kill you?"
Huo Longgang's legs were crippled, otherwise he would have stood tall with pride. He looked up at Ming Zhitian with disdain. "If you know what's good for you, kowtow and admit your mistakes until I forgive you. Otherwise, within these Eight Sects and Twelve Gates, you won't survive a day!"
Was Ming Zhitian laughing at his naivete or his arrogance? If he had been afraid, he wouldn't have come to Lanshan Lake Sea. Ultimately, they had underestimated him, Ming Zhitian.
Ming Zhitian punched his head, exploding it. Blood splattered, and he sat there with his limbs bent, like a headless zombie.
To his death, Huo Longgang couldn't comprehend why Ming Zhitian dared to kill him within the Eight Sects and Twelve Gates.
Soon, Xu Wudong, the Silver Gate Master of the Mi Mi Sect, along with three thousand disciples from his own sect and two thousand from the Golden Gate, arrived.
Seeing the scene before them, they were all incredulous that Ming Zhitian was here, in their territory, and had killed their Sect Leader.
Someone had already gone to report, and although thousands had gathered, none dared to step forward and provoke him.
A moment later, the space began to tear continuously, and seven figures walked out, followed by disciples from various sects.
As if reassured, their courage surged, and they stepped forward, bowing, "Greetings to the seven Sect Leaders!!"
Mei Landong, the Sect Leader of Jingying Sect, spoke, "Where did such a powerful martial cultivator come from?"
Zhang Tianyuan, the Sect Leader of Kuoye Sect, said, "What? A martial cultivator? Is he stronger than us, who practice Dharma cultivation? What kind of technique does he practice?"
Gou Junni, the Sect Leader of Nianyu Sect, looked at Ming Zhitian with burning eyes. "I can confidently say that he possesses a divine-level cultivation technique."
"!!"
The Sect Leaders couldn't believe it. "Divine-level cultivation technique?!"
Ming Zhitian said impatiently, "Enough. I'm not here to listen to your idle chatter."
Xiao Mingzhen of Weimu Sect asked, "Which sect do you belong to, esteemed sir? I've never heard of a martial cultivator as powerful as the Xiuluo Realm."
Ming Zhitian waved his hand. "I am temporarily residing in the Tianmen of Wuyue Sect."
Dong Li of Xuehua Sect said, "Since you are a disciple of Wuyue Sect, you dare to kill someone in our Lanshan Lake Sea, and moreover, you are a Sect Leader yourself. Are you not afraid of implicating Wuyue Sect?"
Bu Que of Anqian Sect said, "I heard that the Sect Leader of Wuyue Sect's Tianmen, Ling Wei'ao, is a master who has surpassed the Great Realm. However, I've never heard of a Xiuluo Realm cultivator. Could you be Ling Wei'ao himself, having already broken through to the Xiuluo Realm?"
Ming Zhitian shook his head. "Ling Wei'ao was killed by me. The Xiuluo Realm? He wasn't worthy."
Wu Shang Jin Bie of Lishang Sect said, "It seems this person is definitely a traitor from Wuyue Sect. He must be an imposter, otherwise, he wouldn't have openly killed Huo Longgang, the Sect Leader of Mi Mi Sect. Why don't we capture him immediately and hand him over to the Law Enforcement Hall for the Supreme Sect Leader to deal with?"
Hearing the familiar, loathsome voice, Ming Zhitian looked up. "Who is Wu Shang Jin Bie?"
Wu Shang Jin Bie stepped forward. "I am he. Do you know me?"
