Chapter 118: The Grand Assembly of Yunshan Sect! (3/3)

“Your subordinate kneels to thank Qin Emperor for saving my life.”

Seeing Qin Feng covered in blood from head to toe, Huang Tianlong’s body trembled. He unleashed the power of a mid-stage Human King and knocked Chen Yunlong away, then collapsed heavily to the ground and kowtowed to Qin Feng.

“Rise. Rest and recover in peace.”

Qin Feng helped Huang Tianlong back to his feet and instructed him.

Whoosh!

With a thought, Qin Feng shot into the sky and swiftly flew toward the Qin residence.

Upon returning to the Qin residence, Qin Feng went straight to his room, sat cross-legged, and waited for his injuries to heal.

Approximately three hours later, his physical body had recovered completely. After bathing, Qin Feng sat cross-legged and began to think carefully.

“I killed two Human Sovereign elders of the Cloud Mountain Sect. They will never let me go.”

“Once the Cloud Mountain Sect receives the news, they will certainly mobilize the entire sect to come after me.”

“Especially their sect master. He is a mid-stage Human Sovereign, and his strength is likely even greater than mine.”

“No. I cannot simply wait for death. Once I learn more about the Cloud Mountain Sect, I will go there myself.”

“My strength may be inferior to that of the Cloud Mountain Sect’s master, but my physical recovery is astonishing. I can certainly wear him down to death.”

Qin Feng murmured softly in his room.

“I hope I can break through to the Human Sovereign Realm soon.”

“Once I reach the Human Sovereign Realm, the mere Cloud Mountain Sect will no longer be worth worrying about.”

Qin Feng picked up the Three Elements Return to One Art and studied it carefully. He had to comprehend it as quickly as possible and then break through to the Human Sovereign Realm.

…

“Greetings, Qin Emperor.”

After learning that Qin Feng had slain two Human Sovereign elders of the Cloud Mountain Sect, Chu Tianfa hurried to the Qin residence to pay him a visit.

“Rise,” Qin Feng said calmly.

“Qin Emperor, I heard that you killed two Human Sovereign elders of the Cloud Mountain Sect?”

Chu Tianfa spoke quickly.

“Mm.”

Qin Feng nodded lightly.

“Qin Emperor, you must be especially careful from now on.”

“The Cloud Mountain Sect is not to be trifled with.”

“It is said that the Cloud Mountain Sect possesses three Human Sovereigns, and its sect master is a mid-stage Human Sovereign. By killing two of their elders, you have forged a deadly enmity with them. The Cloud Mountain Sect will never let the matter rest.”

Thinking of the Cloud Mountain Sect’s formidable power, Chu Tianfa’s face revealed a trace of fear as he spoke rapidly.

“It seems you know quite a bit about the Cloud Mountain Sect.”

“Tell me about it.”

Qin Feng’s eyes lit up as he spoke to Chu Tianfa in a solemn voice.

“The Cloud Mountain Sect is a sect within the territory of the top-tier Heavenly Dragon Dynasty. It possesses three Human Sovereigns and commands tremendous power.”

“The master of the Cloud Mountain Sect is Yun Zhonghe, a mid-stage Human Sovereign of extraordinary strength.”

“A mid-stage Human Sovereign surpasses an early-stage Human Sovereign in both speed and power.”

“Therefore, when a mid-stage Human Sovereign unleashes his full strength, he can easily kill an early-stage Human Sovereign.”

“Qin Emperor, you must be extremely cautious. Once the Cloud Mountain Sect receives the news, it will surely launch a frenzied reprisal.”

Chu Tianfa pondered for a moment, organized what he knew about the Cloud Mountain Sect, and then spoke rapidly to Qin Feng.

“The Heavenly Dragon Dynasty…”

“The Cloud Mountain Sect is powerful, but since I have already offended them—and this feud will end only with one side’s destruction—I must annihilate them.”

Qin Feng murmured, his eyes gleaming sharply.

After Chu Tianfa left, Qin Feng summoned Liu Qingchang and ordered him to prepare a carriage. Then they hurried toward the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

“Giddy up!”

Liu Qingchang drove the carriage swiftly toward the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

“Divine Art: Great Sun Sacred War Art.”

The carriage jolted as it sped along, making it unsuitable for cultivation. Qin Feng simply stopped cultivating and took a manual from his robes.

It was the Great Sun Sacred War Art, a divine technique he had obtained from the treasury of the Mysterious Heaven Sect.

According to its description, successfully cultivating the first layer would double one’s combat strength.

Since obtaining it, Qin Feng had studied it extensively, yet he had gained nothing from it.

…

Qin Tianyun, Zuo Daoguang, Chu Tianfa, Huang Ningbing, Huang Tianlong, and the others all knew that Qin Feng had gone to the Cloud Mountain Sect.

They also knew that his journey would be fraught with danger, but none of them could stop him.

Qin Feng’s current cultivation had already surpassed theirs completely. He was no longer someone they could influence.

All they could do was silently offer their blessings, hoping that Qin Feng would triumph at the very start and destroy the Cloud Mountain Sect.

…

The Cloud Mountain Sect was exceptionally lively today. It was the sect’s once-every-ten-years inner-sect grand tournament, through which the top three contestants would be selected and promoted to true disciples.

The Heavenly Mountain Sect and the Yellow River Gang had enjoyed close ties with the Cloud Mountain Sect for generations.

The leaders of the two great factions—the early-stage Human Sovereigns—had come to the Cloud Mountain Sect to watch the inner-sect tournament.

“Brother Yun, under your leadership, the Cloud Mountain Sect is teeming with talented individuals. Its strength is advancing by leaps and bounds.”

Xu Qingxu of the Heavenly Mountain Sect looked at the two inner-sect disciples below who were fighting in the Guardian Realm and praised them aloud.

“All of this is the result of the united efforts of everyone in the Cloud Mountain Sect.”

Yun Zhonghe wore a broad smile and waved his hand casually as he spoke.

“By the way, Brother Yun, I heard that a faction within the Great Chu Dynasty has detained three of our disciples.”

“I wonder how the matter has been handled.”

“Do you need my assistance?”

Xu Qingxu suddenly recalled news he had received earlier and quickly asked Yun Zhonghe about it.

The master of the Yellow River Gang had also heard something of the matter, and he turned his gaze toward Yun Zhonghe.

“I have already sent Elder Liu and Elder Wang to the Great Chu Dynasty.”

“I ordered them to annihilate that faction and, while they were at it, issue a warning to the Great Chu Dynasty.”

Yun Zhonghe spoke in a loud voice.

His gaze swept across the elders seated around him as he searched for Elder Liu and Elder Wang.

By all rights, the two elders should have returned by now.

“Master, the leader of the Mountain River Sect has brought five disciples to request an audience.”

An elder of the Human King Realm walked over to Yun Zhonghe and whispered.

“The Mountain River Sect?”

“Let them in.”

Yun Zhonghe looked toward the east and saw the figure of the Mountain River Sect’s leader.

“Greetings, Sect Master Yun.”

When Sect Master Hua of the Mountain River Sect saw Yun Zhonghe looking over, his heart jolted. He hurriedly bowed and saluted him.

“Brother Yun, the Mountain River Sect is merely a minor faction. Why did you invite them here?”

The master of the Yellow River Gang also looked toward the Mountain River Sect, surprise in his eyes as he questioned Yun Zhonghe.

Sect Master Hua of the Mountain River Sect was only at the mid-stage Human King Realm, making his sect one of the weakest among the many sects within the Heavenly Dragon Dynasty.

“A sect whose highest cultivation is merely the mid-stage Human King Realm—does it deserve an invitation from me?”

“The disciples of the Mountain River Sect previously clashed with our sect. He has come to offer a humble apology.”

Yun Zhonghe glanced at the Mountain River Sect, a trace of disdain curling at the corner of his mouth.

“A petty little sect like that should simply be destroyed.”

Xu Qingxu spoke with contempt.
