Day and night alternated.
Lin Fan had been diligently cultivating, and he discovered that he seemed to have a natural talent for alchemy. He also believed his talent in forging weapons was no less than others’, considering himself a prodigy in both fields.
The recent events hadn’t left much impression on Lin Fan. He knew well enough that geniuses often invite jealousy.
At this moment, Lin Fan held a medicinal herb in one hand while tightly gripping a pill known as “Big Brother Fan” in the other.
“Fuse…”
He tossed it into the pill furnace, which began to hum, emitting swirling mists.
“Ding, pill forging failed.”
Lin Fan helplessly shook his head. This was already the thirty-seventh attempt, yet none had succeeded.
Lin Fan placed great importance on the “Big Brother Fan” pill, as he believed it held infinite potential.
It neither boosted cultivation nor harmed the body, yet it could bring boundless pleasure.
If thoroughly researched, it might result in the creation of a unique pill.
Just then, Zhang Erdou rushed in from the outer sect, his face filled with urgency. “Master, I just learned that tomorrow, Elder Gu from the Dan Ding Peak’s outer sect will be coming here with others to demand an explanation regarding the pill-making issue.”
When he heard this news, Zhang Erdou was terrified. He hadn’t expected the situation to escalate so severely.
Originally, in Zhang Erdou’s eyes, people like Li Shun were nothing significant. After all, he was merely a slightly influential disciple at Dan Ding Peak. But now, an elder from Dan Ding Peak was involved, which was no longer a laughing matter.
“Oh,” Lin Fan calmly nodded.
Seeing the Master’s calmness, Zhang Erdou felt even more anxious. “Master, shouldn’t we prepare for this in advance?”
Lin Fan looked at Zhang Erdou, a confident smile appearing on his lips. “No worries. We’ll deal with whatever comes our way. Wuming Peak is not a place anyone can recklessly provoke.”
“Yes,” Zhang Erdou, seeing his Master’s composed demeanor, finally stepped out.
He couldn’t help but wonder what kind of situation could possibly shock the Master, even for an instant.
After Zhang Erdou left, Lin Fan, who had been as calm as still water, immediately stood up, his face revealing a look of concern.
He had anticipated that Dan Ding Peak wouldn’t let the matter rest, but he hadn’t expected the second wave to be such a formidable opponent.
In Lin Fan’s mind, he had expected at least a few waves of minor adversaries as a prelude. However, the fact that an elder would come charging in the very next day left Lin Fan somewhat speechless.
What should he do?
Striking first is the way to win; hesitating means disaster. He could sneak into Dan Ding Peak and cripple that elder.
No, no, that wouldn’t work. He didn’t even know who the elder was. What would be the point of going there? Moreover, if he single-handedly stormed into enemy territory and encountered a major boss, he would have no choice but to kneel.
At this moment, Lin Fan felt a slight sadness. Being a sect leader wasn’t easy. In front of the two eccentric disciples, he had to maintain the demeanor of a grand master at all times.
Even if formidable enemies arrived tomorrow, he still had to remain calm in front of them.
Day and night alternate.
Lin Fan has been diligently cultivating. He discovered that he seems to have a natural talent for alchemy, and he also believes that his aptitude for forging is no less than others. Truly, he is a master of both alchemy and forging.
The recent events did not weigh on Lin Fan’s mind. He knew that geniuses are often envied.
At this moment, Lin Fan holds “Da Fan Ge” in his left hand and a medicinal herb in his right.
“Fusion…”
He throws them into the alchemy furnace, which hums and emits clouds of mist.
“Ding, alchemy failed.”
Lin Fan shakes his head helplessly. This is already the thirty-seventh attempt, and not a single success.
Lin Fan highly values “Da Fan Ge” because, in his view, it has limitless potential.
It doesn’t increase cultivation or harm the body, yet it brings endless joy.
With further research, perhaps he could concoct a truly extraordinary pill.
Just then, Zhang Er Gou hurriedly enters from the outer sect, looking anxious. “Sect Leader, I just heard that tomorrow, Elder Gu from the outer sect of Dan Ding Peak will bring people here to demand an explanation regarding the alchemy matter.”
Upon hearing this news, Zhang Er Gou was terrified. He hadn’t expected the situation to escalate so severely.
Originally, Li Shun and others were nothing in Zhang Er Gou’s eyes, as they were merely somewhat influential disciples of Dan Ding Peak. But now, with an elder from Dan Ding Peak involved, it was no laughing matter.
“Oh,” Lin Fan nodded calmly, his expression unchanged.
Seeing the sect leader so composed, Zhang Er Gou grew even more anxious. “Sect Leader, shouldn’t we prepare early?”
Lin Fan glanced at Zhang Er Gou, a confident smile playing on his lips. “No need. We’ll face whatever comes. Nameless Peak isn’t a place where just anyone can act recklessly.”
“Yes,” Zhang Er Gou replied, seeing the sect leader’s calm demeanor, and eventually retreated.
He wondered what could possibly make the sect leader show even a moment of panic.
After Zhang Er Gou left, Lin Fan, who had been as calm as still water, suddenly stood up, his face revealing a troubled expression.
He had expected Dan Ding Peak not to let the matter rest, but he hadn’t anticipated that the second wave would bring an elite opponent.
Originally, Lin Fan thought there would be a few waves of minor adversaries first. But now, with this elder arriving tomorrow, he was somewhat speechless.
What to do?
Strike first and gain the upper hand; hesitate and suffer. Perhaps he should preemptively attack Dan Ding Peak and cripple that elder.
No, no, that wouldn’t work. He didn’t even know who the elder was. Going there would be pointless. Moreover, charging alone into enemy territory, if he encountered some major boss, he would surely meet his end.
At this moment, Lin Fan felt a tinge of melancholy. Being a sect leader isn’t easy. In front of his two mischievous disciples, he must always maintain the demeanor of a grandmaster.
Even if a formidable enemy is coming tomorrow, he must remain composed in front of them.
The person coming tomorrow is an elder from Dan Ding Peak, so their cultivation must be formidable. With his current peak innate realm strength, he probably wouldn’t even be a match for their teeth.
In Lin Fan’s mind, the cultivation of these elders is at least at the minor celestial realm.
No, he must devise a strategy to deal with this. Otherwise, if he is utterly crushed by them tomorrow, how will he establish authority in the future?
How will he earn the respect of the outer sect disciples?
At this moment, Lin Fan felt a sense of crisis. He pondered deeply about how to handle tomorrow and what methods to employ.
And so, he thought through the night.
…
The next day.
As the morning sun rose, the outer sect disciples emerged from their quarters, striving for their futures.
Meanwhile, Li Shun accompanied Elder Gu, walking through the outer sect, heading towards Nameless Peak.
When the outer sect disciples saw the people from Dan Ding Peak, their expressions changed. They had already been taught a lesson the day before. Wasn’t that enough? Were they here to be scolded again today?
Li Shun walked with his head held high, looking down on the surrounding outer sect disciples. With Elder Gu by his side, surely no one on Nameless Peak would dare to act recklessly.
And these outer sect disciples, would they dare to oppose Dan Ding Peak in front of Elder Gu?
“Why has Li Shun come again? Wasn’t the lesson from the day before enough?”
“Hmph, people like him should be taught a proper lesson by Brother Dog.”
“Shh, keep your voice down. It seems someone important has come. The person next to Li Shun looks like Elder Gu from Dan Ding Peak.”
“What? No way.” The outer sect disciples looked in disbelief at the person next to Li Shun.
Upon closer inspection, they were shocked. It really was Elder Gu.
“Elder, these outer sect disciples opposed our Dan Ding Peak on Nameless Peak the day before. Now that you’re here, they wouldn’t dare to make a peep,” Li Shun flattered.
Elder Gu remained silent, merely glancing at the outer sect disciples. But that single glance struck their hearts like a thunderbolt.
The outer sect disciples knew that Dan Ding Peak’s destination was undoubtedly Nameless Peak. Without Elder Gu, they would have surely stopped these people at the outer sect.
But with Elder Gu leading, even if they had the courage of the heavens, they wouldn’t dare.
Although the Holy Sect is peaceful, insubordination is a grave crime.
Even death is not out of the question.
As the people from Dan Ding Peak gradually moved further away, the outer sect disciples followed closely behind. This time, they felt uneasy. Would Nameless Peak truly no longer be able to provide them with pills?
Historically, Dan Ding Peak has always been the sect’s alchemy hub. Any disciple seeking to refine pills would go there. Originally, someone refining and selling pills wasn’t a big deal. But Nameless Peak, in a short period, had taken over the alchemy needs of the outer sect disciples.
Meanwhile, the outer sect alchemy division of Dan Ding Peak had no pills to refine. For Dan Ding Peak, this was absolutely unacceptable.
…
On Nameless Peak.
Zhang Er Gou and Feng Bu Jue were fully armed, their usual leisure gone.
“Junior Brother, today’s battle may cost us our lives. There are many things I haven’t accomplished. If I unfortunately die, please fulfill my wishes,” Zhang Er Gou said, holding a black spiked club, its sharp points menacing.
“Senior Brother…” Feng Bu Jue looked at Zhang Er Gou with sorrow, then glanced at the sect leader’s residence and nodded heavily.
“Junior Brother, they’re here.” At this moment, Zhang Er Gou’s body trembled slightly, his heart filled with tension. What was to come might not be fatal, but it certainly wouldn’t be pleasant.
Although Zhang Er Gou didn’t know the sect leader’s exact cultivation level, he knew the sect leader had come from a sub-sect. That sub-sect had been annihilated, and the sect leader had been sent here by the old sect leader at the cost of his life. Therefore, the sect leader’s cultivation couldn’t be very high, perhaps even inferior to the elders of Dan Ding Peak.
Dark clouds loomed over the city, threatening to crush it. At this moment, Zhang Er Gou and Feng Bu Jue felt an overwhelming pressure, making their breathing heavy.
They had arrived.
Day and night alternate.
Lin Fan has been diligently cultivating, discovering a natural talent for alchemy, and he believes his aptitude for artifact forging is no less than others, truly a master of both crafts.
Recent events have not weighed on Lin Fan’s mind; he knows that genius is often met with envy.
At this moment, Lin Fan holds “Da Fan Ge” in his left hand and a medicinal herb in his right.
“Fusion…”
He tosses them into the alchemy furnace, which hums and emits clouds of mist.
“Ding, alchemy failed.”
Lin Fan shakes his head in resignation; this is the thirty-seventh attempt without a single success.
“Da Fan Ge” is a pill Lin Fan highly values, seeing its limitless potential.
It doesn’t enhance cultivation or harm the body but brings endless joy.
With careful study, perhaps a miraculous pill could be crafted.
Just then, Zhang Er Gou rushes in from outside, looking anxious, “Sect Leader, I just heard that tomorrow Elder Gu from the Dan Ding Peak outer sect will bring people here to demand an explanation regarding the alchemy matter.”
Upon hearing this, Zhang Er Gou was terrified, not expecting the situation to escalate so severely.
Originally, Li Shun and others were nothing in Zhang Er Gou’s eyes, merely slightly influential disciples of Dan Ding Peak, but now with the involvement of a Dan Ding Peak elder, it’s no laughing matter.
“Oh,” Lin Fan nods calmly.
Seeing the sect leader so composed, Zhang Er Gou grows even more anxious, “Sect Leader, shouldn’t we prepare early?”
Lin Fan glances at Zhang Er Gou, a confident smile on his lips, “No need, we’ll face whatever comes. Nameless Peak isn’t a place for just anyone to act recklessly.”
“Yes,” Zhang Er Gou, seeing the sect leader’s calm demeanor, eventually retreats.
He wonders what could possibly startle the sect leader, even for a moment.
After Zhang Er Gou leaves, Lin Fan, previously as calm as still water, suddenly stands up, a troubled expression on his face.
He had anticipated Dan Ding Peak wouldn’t let it go, but never expected the second wave to bring an elite adversary.
Lin Fan had thought there would be several waves of lesser foes as a prelude, but now with an elder arriving tomorrow, he’s somewhat speechless.
What to do?
Strike first to gain advantage, or suffer later. Perhaps preemptively attack Dan Ding Peak and incapacitate the elder.
No, no, without knowing who it is, what’s the point? Moreover, charging alone into enemy territory, if encountering a major boss, would only lead to defeat.
At this moment, Lin Fan feels a faint sorrow; being a sect leader isn’t easy. In front of his two lively disciples, he must maintain the demeanor of a grandmaster.
Even with a strong enemy arriving tomorrow, he must remain composed in their presence.
The person coming tomorrow is a Dan Ding Peak elder, so their cultivation must be formidable. With his current peak innate realm strength, he probably wouldn’t even fill the gaps in their teeth.
In Lin Fan’s mind, these elders’ cultivation is at least at the minor celestial realm.
No, he must devise a countermeasure, or else being crushed underfoot tomorrow would ruin his authority.
How to earn the respect of the outer sect disciples.
At this moment, Lin Fan feels a sense of crisis, pondering how to handle tomorrow and what methods to employ.
And this thought lasts all night.
…
The next day.
As the morning glow rises, outer sect disciples emerge from their rooms to strive for their future.
Meanwhile, Li Shun accompanies Elder Gu, walking through the outer sect towards Nameless Peak.
Upon seeing Dan Ding Peak’s people, the outer sect disciples’ expressions change. They had already been taught a lesson the day before; is it not enough, are they here to be scolded again today?
Li Shun, chest puffed out, looks down on the surrounding outer sect disciples. With Elder Gu by his side, surely the people of Nameless Peak wouldn’t dare act recklessly.
And these outer sect disciples, would they dare oppose Dan Ding Peak in front of Elder Gu?
“Why is Li Shun here again? Wasn’t the lesson from the day before enough?”
“Hmph, such people should be taught a good lesson by Brother Dog.”
“Shh, keep it down. It seems someone formidable has come. The person next to Li Shun looks like Elder Gu from Dan Ding Peak.”
“What? No way.” The outer sect disciples, upon hearing this, look in disbelief at the person next to Li Shun.
Upon closer inspection, they are shocked; it really is Elder Gu.
“Elder, these outer sect disciples opposed our Dan Ding Peak at Nameless Peak the day before. Now that the elder has come, they dare not even make a peep,” Li Shun flatters.
Elder Gu remains silent, merely glancing at the outer sect disciples, but that single glance strikes their hearts like a thunderbolt.
The outer sect disciples know Dan Ding Peak’s destination is surely Nameless Peak. Without Elder Gu, they would have stopped these people at the outer sect.
But with Elder Gu leading, even with the greatest courage, they wouldn’t dare.
Although the Holy Sect is peaceful, rebellion is a grave crime.
Even death is not impossible.
As Dan Ding Peak’s people gradually move away, the outer sect disciples follow closely behind, this time feeling uneasy. Could it be that Nameless Peak will no longer provide them with pills?
Historically, Dan Ding Peak has been the sect’s alchemy site, where any disciple could go to have pills made. Originally, someone making and selling pills wasn’t a big deal, but Nameless Peak, in a short time, has taken over the outer sect disciples’ pill-making needs.
And Dan Ding Peak’s outer sect alchemy site has no pills to make, something Dan Ding Peak absolutely cannot allow.
…
On Nameless Peak.
Zhang Er Gou and Feng Bu Jue are fully armed, shedding their usual leisure.
“Junior Brother, today’s battle may cost us our lives. There are many things I haven’t done. If I unfortunately die, please help me fulfill my wishes,” Zhang Er Gou, holding a black spiked club, says.
“Senior Brother…” Feng Bu Jue looks sadly at Zhang Er Gou, then at the sect leader’s residence, nodding heavily.
“Junior Brother, they’re here.” At this moment, Zhang Er Gou’s body trembles slightly, feeling very nervous. What’s about to happen surely won’t be deadly, but it won’t be pleasant either.
Although Zhang Er Gou doesn’t know the sect leader’s cultivation level, he knows the sect leader came from a branch sect. Because the branch sect was annihilated, the old sect leader sacrificed his life to send him here, so his own cultivation level probably isn’t very high, perhaps not even as good as Dan Ding Peak’s elders.
Black clouds press down on the city, threatening to crush it. At this moment, Zhang Er Gou and Feng Bu Jue feel an overwhelming pressure, making their breathing somewhat labored.
They have arrived.
No, he must devise a proper countermeasure, or else tomorrow he would be crushed underfoot, making it difficult to establish authority in the future.
How could he earn the respect of the outer sect disciples?
At this moment, Lin Fan felt a sense of crisis. He carefully contemplated how to handle tomorrow’s situation and what methods to employ.
And this contemplation lasted the entire night.
…
The next day.
As the morning glow rose, outer sect disciples emerged from their rooms, striving for a better future.
At this time, Li Shun followed closely beside Elder Gu, walking through the outer sect on their way to Wuming Peak.
When the outer sect disciples saw the people from Dan Ding Peak, their expressions changed. They had already received a lesson two days ago. Was it not enough? Were they here to provoke another beating?
Li Shun held his head high, looking down disdainfully at the surrounding outer sect disciples. With Elder Gu accompanying him today, would the people of Wuming Peak dare to act recklessly?
And would these outer sect disciples dare to resist Dan Ding Peak in front of Elder Gu?
“Why has Li Shun come again? Wasn’t the lesson from two days ago enough?”
“Hmph, such people should be properly disciplined by Dog Brother.”
“Shh, speak softly. This time, it seems someone formidable has arrived. The person beside Li Shun seems to be Elder Gu from Dan Ding Peak.”
“What? Impossible.” Upon hearing this, the outer sect disciples couldn’t believe it. They gazed at the person beside Li Shun.
Upon seeing him, their hearts were shaken. It was indeed Elder Gu.
“Elder, these outer sect disciples resisted Dan Ding Peak at Wuming Peak two days ago. Now that the elder has emerged, they dare not utter a single word,” Li Shun flattered.
Elder Gu didn’t speak but cast a glance at the outer sect disciples. That single gaze sent a shockwave through their hearts, as if struck by a thunderbolt.
The outer sect disciples knew that Dan Ding Peak’s destination was undoubtedly Wuming Peak. Without Elder Gu’s presence, they would have stopped them at the outer sect area.
Day and night alternate.
Lin Fan has been diligently cultivating. He discovered that he seems to have a natural talent for alchemy, and he also believes his aptitude for artifact forging is no less than others. Truly, he is a master of both alchemy and forging.
Recent events haven’t weighed on Lin Fan’s mind. He knows that geniuses are often envied.

He had expected Dan Ding Peak not to let this go, but he never thought the second wave would bring an elite adversary.
In Lin Fan’s view, there should have been a few waves of minor challenges first. But now, with this elder arriving tomorrow, he feels somewhat speechless.
What to do?
Strike first to gain the upper hand, or suffer the consequences of being late. Perhaps he should preemptively attack Dan Ding Peak and incapacitate that elder.
No, no. That wouldn’t work. He doesn’t even know who the elder is. Going there would be pointless. Moreover, charging alone into enemy territory, if he encounters some major boss, he’d only be doomed.
At this moment, Lin Fan feels a faint melancholy. Being a sect leader isn’t easy. In front of his two lively disciples, he must always maintain the demeanor of a grandmaster.

Meanwhile, Li Shun accompanies Elder Gu, walking through the outer sect, heading toward Nameless Peak.
When the outer sect disciples see the people from Dan Ding Peak, their expressions change. They had already been taught a lesson the day before. Wasn’t that enough? Have they come back for more today?
Li Shun walks with his head held high, looking down on the surrounding outer sect disciples. With Elder Gu by his side, surely the people of Nameless Peak wouldn’t dare to act recklessly.
And these outer sect disciples, would they dare to oppose Dan Ding Peak in front of Elder Gu?

…
On Nameless Peak.
Zhang Er Gou and Feng Bu Jue are fully armed, their usual leisure replaced by seriousness.
“Junior Brother, today’s battle may cost us our lives. There are many things I haven’t accomplished. If I die, please fulfill my wishes,” Zhang Er Gou says, holding a black wolf-tooth club, its spikes menacing.
“Senior Brother…” Feng Bu Jue looks at Zhang Er Gou with sorrow, then glances at the sect leader’s residence and nods heavily.
“Junior Brother, they’re here.” At this moment, Zhang Er Gou’s body trembles slightly, his heart filled with tension. What’s about to happen may not be fatal, but it certainly won’t be pleasant.
Zhang Er Gou doesn’t know the sect leader’s cultivation level, but he knows the sect leader came from a branch sect. When the branch sect was destroyed, the old sect leader sacrificed himself to send the current sect leader here. Therefore, the sect leader’s cultivation probably isn’t very high—perhaps not even on par with the elders of Dan Ding Peak.
Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it. At this moment, Zhang Er Gou and Feng Bu Jue feel an overwhelming pressure, making their breathing labored.
They have arrived.
Although the Holy Sect was peaceful, rebelling against superiors was a grave offense.
Even death was not beyond possibility.
As the Dan Ding Peak group gradually moved further away, the outer sect disciples followed closely behind. This time, they felt uneasy. Could it be that Wuming Peak would no longer be able to produce pills for them?
Throughout history, Dan Ding Peak had always been the sect’s primary location for pill forging. Any disciple wishing to forge or purchase pills could go to Dan Ding Peak. Originally, having someone forge and sell pills wasn’t a significant matter. However, within a short time, Wuming Peak had completely taken over the pill forging needs of the outer sect disciples.
As a result, the outer sect’s pill forging area at Dan Ding Peak became devoid of any pills. For Dan Ding Peak, this was an unacceptable situation.
…
At Wuming Peak.
Zhang Erdou and Feng Bu Jue were fully armed, no longer displaying their usual leisurely attitude.
Day and night alternate.
Lin Fan has been diligently cultivating. He discovered that he seems to have a natural talent for alchemy, and for forging, he believes his talent is no less than others. He can truly be called a master of both alchemy and forging.
Recent events have not weighed on Lin Fan’s mind. He knows that geniuses are often envied.
At this moment, Lin Fan holds a “Da Fan Ge” pill in his left hand and a medicinal herb in his right.
“Fusion…”
He tosses them into the alchemy furnace, which hums and emits clouds of mist.
“Ding, alchemy failed.”
Lin Fan shakes his head in resignation. This is already the thirty-seventh attempt, and not a single success.
The “Da Fan Ge” pill is something Lin Fan highly values, as he believes it has limitless potential.
It doesn’t increase cultivation or harm the body, but it can bring endless joy.
If he studies it carefully, he might be able to refine a truly extraordinary pill.
Just then, Zhang Er Gou rushes in from outside, looking anxious. “Sect Leader, I just heard that tomorrow, Elder Gu from the Dan Ding Peak outer sect will bring people here to demand an explanation regarding the alchemy matter.”
When Zhang Er Gou received this news, he was terrified. He never expected things to escalate so seriously.
Originally, Li Shun and others were nothing in Zhang Er Gou’s eyes, as they were merely slightly influential disciples of Dan Ding Peak. But now, with an elder from Dan Ding Peak involved, it’s no longer a joke.
“Oh,” Lin Fan nods calmly, his expression unchanged.
Seeing the sect leader so composed, Zhang Er Gou grows even more anxious. “Sect Leader, shouldn’t we prepare in advance?”
Lin Fan glances at Zhang Er Gou, a confident smile playing on his lips. “No need. We’ll handle whatever comes our way. Nameless Peak isn’t a place where just anyone can act recklessly.”
“Yes,” Zhang Er Gou replies, seeing the sect leader’s calm demeanor, and eventually retreats.
He wonders what could possibly make the sect leader show even a moment of panic.
After Zhang Er Gou leaves, Lin Fan, who had been as calm as still water, suddenly stands up, his face showing a troubled expression.
He had expected Dan Ding Peak not to let this go, but he never imagined that the second wave would bring an elite opponent.
In Lin Fan’s view, there should have been a few smaller waves first, but now this elder is coming tomorrow, leaving Lin Fan somewhat speechless.
What to do?
Strike first to gain the upper hand, or suffer if you delay. Perhaps he should preemptively attack Dan Ding Peak and cripple that elder.
No, no, that won’t work. He doesn’t even know who the elder is, and charging into enemy territory alone would be suicidal if he encounters a major boss.
At this moment, Lin Fan feels a faint sense of melancholy. Being a sect leader isn’t easy. In front of his two eccentric disciples, he must always maintain the demeanor of a grandmaster.
Even if a formidable enemy is coming tomorrow, he must remain composed in front of them.

How will he earn the respect of the outer sect disciples?
At this moment, Lin Fan feels a sense of crisis. He ponders what to do tomorrow and how to handle the situation.
And so, he thinks through the night.
…
The next day.
As the morning sun rises, the outer sect disciples emerge from their rooms, striving for their futures.
Meanwhile, Li Shun accompanies Elder Gu, walking through the outer sect, heading toward Nameless Peak.
When the outer sect disciples see the people from Dan Ding Peak, their expressions change. They had already given them a lesson the day before. Could it be that it wasn’t enough? Are they here to be scolded again today?
Li Shun walks with his head held high, looking down on the surrounding outer sect disciples. With Elder Gu by his side, surely no one on Nameless Peak would dare to act recklessly.
And these outer sect disciples, would they dare to oppose Dan Ding Peak in front of Elder Gu?
“Why is Li Shun back again? Wasn’t the lesson from the day before enough?”
“Hmph, people like him should be taught a proper lesson by Brother Dog.”
“Shh, keep your voice down. It seems like someone important has come. The person next to Li Shun looks like Elder Gu from Dan Ding Peak.”

“Elder, these outer sect disciples opposed our Dan Ding Peak at Nameless Peak the day before. Now that you’re here, they wouldn’t dare make a sound,” Li Shun flatters.
Elder Gu remains silent, but his glance at the outer sect disciples sends a jolt through their hearts, as if struck by lightning.
The outer sect disciples know that Dan Ding Peak’s destination is undoubtedly Nameless Peak. If it weren’t for Elder Gu, they would have stopped these people at the outer sect.
But with Elder Gu leading, even if they had the courage of the heavens, they wouldn’t dare.
Although the Holy Sect is peaceful, rebellion against superiors is a grave crime.

“Senior Brother…” Feng Bu Jue looks at Zhang Er Gou with sadness, then glances at the sect leader’s residence and nods heavily.
“Junior Brother, they’re here.” At this moment, Zhang Er Gou’s body trembles slightly, his heart filled with tension. What’s about to happen may not be fatal, but it certainly won’t be pleasant.

Dark clouds loom over the city, threatening to crush it. At this moment, Zhang Er Gou and Feng Bu Jue feel an overwhelming pressure, making it hard to breathe.
They have arrived.
“Senior apprentice brother…” Feng Bu Jue looked at Zhang Erdou with sadness before solemnly nodding towards their master’s residence.
“Junior apprentice brother, they’re here.” At this moment, Zhang Erdou’s body slightly trembled, his heart filled with tension. The upcoming events would certainly not result in death, but they wouldn’t be pleasant either.
Although Zhang Erdou didn’t know the master’s cultivation level, he did know that the master had come from a branch sect. Because the branch sect had been destroyed, the master had been saved by the old sect leader at the cost of his life. Therefore, the master’s cultivation level couldn’t be very high, possibly even inferior to the elders of Dan Ding Peak.
The dark clouds pressed heavily on the city, threatening to crush it. At this moment, the pressure felt by Zhang Erdou and his companion was overwhelming, making their breathing difficult.
They had arrived.
