The piercing roar reverberated through the Thousand Geese Mountain as Wu Renxu occasionally waved the paper fan in his hand, unleashing massive wind blades that ruthlessly sliced through the bodies of the malevolent entity.

With their blood essence depleted, these malevolent entity not only lost their strength but also their speed, becoming no better than ordinary Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

Tang Shouchang followed behind. Along the hundreds of miles they traveled, they found the sects deserted, their mountain gates broken. Obviously, they had been corrupted by the malevolent entity beforehand.

The destructive power of this malevolent entity exceeded Tang Shouchang’s expectations.

If they had discovered this a little later, all the sects in the Thousand Geese Mountain might have been wiped out, and the losses to Thousand Geese City would have been astonishing.

“Could it be that all the sects near the Thousand Geese Mountain have been destroyed?” Zhang Chaoyun frowned.

These sects, to some extent, were considered assets of Thousand Geese City. The offerings received from these sects every year amounted to a considerable sum.

The reason for seizing Thousand Geese City after breaking through the Mountain Sea Realm was precisely to share in these profits.

But now, with so many sects disappearing in the Thousand Geese Mountain, not a single one left within hundreds of miles, other areas were likely not faring any better.

The future income of Thousand Geese City will decline significantly for a considerable period. At that time, the disciples of the four major sects of Thousand Geese City will have to gather resources from various locations in the Thousand Geese Mountain themselves.

Alternatively, they could wait for sects from other places to migrate and help the Thousand Geese Mountain flourish again, but this undoubtedly requires some time.

“That malevolent entity is running in that direction, indicating that it knows there are enough people ahead for it to devour,” Wu Renxu remained calm as ever.

Wu Renxu wasn’t particularly concerned about whether the other sects in the Thousand Geese Mountain lived or died. While the resources they offered were decent, compared to the Red Flame Gold and the Profound Heaven Fruit, they were insignificant.

At this moment, Wu Renxu’s only concern was to seal the malevolent entity as quickly as possible and then collect the reward in Feihuang City.

“Well, it seems there is still one sect left,” Zhang Chaoyun’s expression suddenly changed slightly.

Due to his cultivation technique, Zhang Chaoyun’s perception was quite keen, and he had already sensed the gathering of energy and blood hundreds of miles ahead.

Moments later, Wu Renxu also sensed it, a faint smile appearing on his face, while the malevolent entity ahead had long since been discovered and was now desperately rushing towards that discovery.

The malevolent entity faintly sensed the intentions of the three Mountain Sea Realm cultivators behind it, but with the opportunity to devour enough blood essence, it had no intention of letting this chance slip away.

After all, only with sufficient blood essence could its strength recover, giving it a greater hope of escaping pursuit.

At present, it had no resistance whatsoever.

Tang Shouchang followed behind, being the last to sense the energy and blood fluctuations ahead. Observing the surrounding terrain, Tang Shouchang’s expression couldn’t help but change slightly. Primordial Sword Sect?

Tang Shouchang had served as the rotating city lord for the past year, and sects like Primordial Sword Sect, with peak Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, naturally needed Tang Shouchang’s permission to enter the Thousand Geese Mountain.

The location of Primordial Sword Sect’s mountain gate was quite poor, lacking in resources. Therefore, Tang Shouchang had a rather deep impression of this matter.

What’s more, it was just recently that Chen Fei from Primordial Sword Sect had timely discovered the situation with the malevolent entity, preventing the disaster from escalating further.

Tang Shouchang’s figure turned into a shadow as he appeared beside Wu Renxu and the others.

“Brother Tang, have you figured things out?” Wu Renxu’s face showed a hint of a smile upon sensing Tang Shouchang’s arrival.

While Wu Renxu didn’ t feel burdened by such actions, having an extra companion was naturally preferable.

“Up ahead is Primordial Sword Sect. As I mentioned before, someone from this sect discovered the presence of this malevolent entity ahead of time,” Tang Shouchang spoke in a solemn tone.

Wu Renxu furrowed his brow slightly, looking at Tang Shouchang. “Brother Tang, what do you mean?”

“This sect has contributed to Thousand Geese City. We can’t let this sect become the malevolent entity’s blood feast!” Tang Shouchang stared at Wu Renxu.

Wu Renxu and Zhang Chaoyun fell silent for a moment.

After a while, Wu Renxu raised his head and said, “Brother Tang, you should know that I am seeking the Profound Heaven Fruit, and I have been searching for it for over a decade.”

Seeing the look in Wu Renxu’s eyes, Tang Shouchang couldn’t help but feel a chill in his heart. Was he resorting to any means necessary to achieve his goal?

“The younger generation timely discovered the malevolent entity, which is a great merit. But now that we cannot seal the malevolent entity, we can only let them continue to contribute to eliminating it,” Wu Renxu said expressionlessly.

If you can gain merit, then gain it again!

“No, if this gets out, it will chill the hearts of many!” Tang Shouchang exclaimed loudly.

“It won’t spread. Unless Brother Tang speaks of it externally?” Wu Renxu shook his head, staring at Tang Shouchang, with Zhang Chaoyun joining his gaze.

Wu Renxu didn’t intend to kill Tang Shouchang. The four major sects of Thousand Geese City rose and fell together; their interests were already intertwined.

If discord arose among the four, Thousand Geese City would collapse entirely, and everyone would suffer.

With this statement, Wu Renxu was reminding Tang Shouchang not to forget his true position.

Tang Shouchang glanced at Wu Renxu and Zhang Chaoyun. It was evident that they had no intention of changing to another sect and had chosen Primordial Sword Sect.

This place was remote enough, and the Energy and blood fluctuations from afar were strong enough to fully satisfy the need to seal the malevolent entity.

Moreover, they had heard of Primordial Sword Sect. It was just a sect that had recently moved into the Thousand Geese Mountain, with no significant background or connection to them.

Compared to other sects that had been established for hundreds or even thousands of years, choosing a sect with no affiliation to Thousand Geese City like this seemed to be the best choice.

Besides, with the risk of encountering unexpected situations during the malevolent entity’s expulsion, it was better to seal the malevolent entity sooner rather than later.

“You two…”

Tang Shouchang pointed at them, snorted angrily, and turned to leave.

With Tang Shouchang’s strength alone, he couldn’t stop Wu Renxu and Zhang Chaoyun. Even if they were to break ties, it would yield no results.

Seeing Tang Shouchang leave, Wu Renxu shook his head slightly, feeling that Tang Shouchang was too rigid.

Exchanging a glance with Zhang Chaoyun, Wu Renxu waved the paper fan in his hand and continued to drive the malevolent entity forward.

In just a moment, Wu Renxu and the others could already see a mountain gate ahead, its formation circulating with a sharp and restrained aura.

Such a formation’s power was decent for Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators, but for Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, it was too weak. Breaking it would be a simple matter.

Inside Primordial Sword Sect, everyone had already relaxed slightly. However, with the appearance of the malevolent entity’s main body, that inexplicable sense of dread resurfaced, even stronger than before.

In the sky, Chen Fei looked at the malevolent entity dozens of miles away and the faint presence of Mountain Sea Realm cultivators behind it, feeling a sinking sensation in his heart.

Why was the malevolent entity here? Why hadn’t these Mountain Sea Realm cultivators slain it? Chen Fei had no answers.

But Primordial Sword Sect was in danger!

Chen Fei’s figure flickered, appearing outside the formation. The Nine Revolutions of the Universe circulated, his momentum rising, but soon he forcibly restrained it, compressing it within his body.

“Elders, what is the meaning of this?” Chen Fei’s voice echoed from afar.

“His perception is indeed sharp!”

Hearing Chen Fei’s words, Wu Renxu chuckled softly. Just now, he and Zhang Chaoyun intentionally restrained their auras, especially since the malevolent entity was still ahead, which would disturb the surrounding spiritual energy.

As a result, this junior still sensed them.

He was talented, but it was a pity.

“This junior seems a bit suspicious. Let’s act together,” Zhang Chaoyun looked at Chen Fei from afar, sensing the faint fluctuations emanating from him and furrowing his brow.

Wu Renxu glanced at Zhang Chaoyun with some surprise. Zhang Chaoyun had the strongest perception among them. If he said something was suspicious, then this Combined Aperture Tempering realm junior was probably indeed different.

“Agreed!”

Wu Renxu didn’t object. The strongest in Primordial Sword Sect was only at the peak of the Combined Aperture Tempering realm. Killing this junior directly would prevent any further trouble.

Wu Renxu and Zhang Chaoyun no longer concealed their presence, shaking off the malevolent entity and flying straight towards Chen Fei.

In less than a moment, the two arrived within a mile of Chen Fei.

Seeing that Wu Renxu and Zhang Chaoyun didn’t even respond to his earlier question, Chen Fei’s expression changed. Just as he was about to move, he suddenly realized that he couldn’t move at all.

Wu Renxu looked at Chen Fei, pressing down with the paper fan in his hand, as if a mountain were pressing down on Chen Fei’s shoulders.

Under the tremendous force, Chen Fei’s bones all over his body made cracking sounds.

With Zhang Chaoyun warning about Chen Fei’s suspiciousness, Wu Renxu naturally went all out.

In the Mountain Sea Realm, without any injuries and only a partial loss of elemental energy, one could say they were still at their peak.

With such power, facing a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator with all their might, let alone two Mountain Sea Realm cultivators, even one could easily slay a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator in an instant.

Feeling the weight pressing down on his body, Chen Fei realized the difference between Combined Aperture Tempering realm and Mountain Sea Realm cultivators was immense.

Compared to them, he was far too inferior.

In Chen Fei’s soul, the roaring of the dragon and elephant continued, his body trembling violently. Just as he was about to forcibly break free from the weight, Zhang Chaoyun appeared before him.

“Such depth…”

At close range, Zhang Chaoyun clearly sensed the power Chen Fei possessed at this moment.

Any other Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator would likely have been crushed into a pulp by now. Yet, Chen Fei was only immobilized under the pressure, and he was even gathering strength to break free from the restraint.

How could a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator achieve such a feat?

In the past, if Zhang Chaoyun had encountered a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator with such depth, without conflicting interests, he would have chosen to show respect, as the possibility of the other party breaking through to the Mountain Sea Realm was not low.

But now, they had reached a dead end. Reconciliation?

How could they reconcile? Should he bow his head and apologize to Wu Renxu with a Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivator?

Zhang Chaoyun’s eyes became sharp. Even in this situation, if that was the case, then he would simply kill this junior directly, ensuring that he would never have the opportunity to become their enemy again!

The spear in Zhang Chaoyun’s hand thrust forward, the spiritual energy of heaven and earth roaring like an enraged dragon. In Chen Fei’s eyes, there was nothing but the blade of the spear.

“Break!”

Chen Fei roared angrily, the immense power of the dragon and elephant forcefully breaking free from the restraint, placing the Qjanyuan Sword in front of him as a shield.

“Boom!”

The blade of the spear collided with the Qjanyuan Sword, awakening its dormant spiritual essence. Brilliant sword light burst forth in an instant.
