Protagonist:

Yu Zhangsheng

"Enough. Settling you lot early also saves trouble from long nights and many dreams. As for Ling Feng, if he manages to find his way here, he'll just be killed along with you."

Wang Yun Gang looked at the three, hehe coldly laughing, his arm slowly rising, one ice needle after another continuously condensing, flashing cold light...

"Done for..."

Luo Meng's heart sank, he took a deep breath, suppressed his body's injuries, waved his sleeve and a protective barrier condensed before him.

"Huh?!"

Just then, Wang Yun Gang abruptly looked up, brows slightly furrowed, gazing at the sky not far away, happening to lock eyes with the passing Yu Zhangsheng and his group of four, the motion in his hand stalling for a moment, narrowing his eyes to size them up.

Yu Zhangsheng's expression was cold, lowering his brows to look at the six below, shaking his head and not intending to pay them any mind, so without a sound, he was just about to leave.

And Zhang Tianwen carrying Shen Xingchen on his back behind him was the same, merely coldly glancing at the six below, not intending to meddle in idle affairs.

Li Minghan naturally was even more disinclined to bother.

And Wang Yun Gang then warily watched Yu Zhangsheng and the others, and upon finding himself unable to see through Yu Zhangsheng and the others' cultivation bases, his gaze flickered, hesitant and undecided.

Seeing this, the three beside Luo Meng brightened, watching Yu Zhangsheng's group about to leave, they instantly grew anxious, hurriedly roaring: "Dao Friend, we are from Ling Feng's Herb-Gathering Team, not asking the few Dao Friends to save us, only asking Dao Friends to pass a message to our Team Leader after going down the mountain: I, Luo Meng, because Wang Yun Gang kills to seize treasure, wants my Gold Cauldron Yin Iron, was killed by Wang Yun Gang of the Cloud Sea Herb-Gathering Team!"

"At that time, our Team Leader will definitely reward heavily, grateful beyond measure."

Finished speaking, the air abruptly stilled, Wang Yun Gang abruptly turned his head, looking at Luo Meng, complexion gloomy, killing intent exposed.

"Shut up!"

Yu Zhangsheng's steps paused, lowering his brows to look at the pursed-lipped, pale-complexioned Luo Meng, brows knitting, faintly speaking: "Not interested."

Finished speaking, Yu Zhangsheng looked at Wang Yun Gang, lifted his leg and was about to leave.

"Wait a moment."

An abrupt voice suddenly rang out, yet it was Wang Yun Gang with a fluctuating complexion, gaze focused, deeply watching Yu Zhangsheng and the others, mouth corners writhing, face revealing ill intent, "Hm?" Yu Zhangsheng's eyebrow raised, but he wasn't looking at Wang Yun Gang, rather at Zhang Tianwen.

Zhang Tianwen silently swallowed a mouthful of saliva, glanced at the crowd below, lowly said to Yu Zhangsheng: "Gold Cauldron Yin Iron, this is a rare material for refining superior-grade Magic Treasures, even Spirit Treasures... worth no small value, just right... Shen Xingchen's Dragon Roar Sword self-destructed..."

Zhang Tianwen hadn't finished speaking, Yu Zhangsheng already understood his meaning, so he nodded, steps pausing, descending from the sky, quietly watching Wang Yun Gang.

Wang Yun Gang gritted his teeth, brows sinking, a trace of fierce light flashing in his eyes, weighing repeatedly, then sinisterly speaking: "Originally I didn't want to keep you, but since you've all heard, to prevent you from informing, there's no way around it."

In Wang Yun Gang's view, although he couldn't quite gauge Yu Zhangsheng and the others' cultivation bases, judging by their situation, their youthful appearances, they surely wouldn't be high, otherwise they wouldn't be leaving in such haste.

Moreover, he himself is Foundation Establishment Seventh Layer, in the Foundation Establishment realm, Seventh Layer is practically the limit.

Facing Wang Yun Gang's threat, Yu Zhangsheng chose to ignore, instead turning his head to look at Luo Meng, frowning faintly speaking: "Where is the Gold Cauldron Yin Iron?"

Luo Meng took a deep breath, looking at Yu Zhangsheng, involuntarily lowering his head, lowly murmuring: "It's with me, if Dao Friend helps me escape, there will definitely be heavy reward."

Seeing himself directly ignored, Wang Yun Gang's expression hardened, then anger turning to laughter, waving his sleeve coldly saying: "Yun Feng, Yun He, accompany this guest to play a bit."

Words falling, the two companions beside him instantly erupted, long blades raised high in hand, charging at Yu Zhangsheng and heavily chopping down.

"Clamorous!"

Yu Zhangsheng frowned, looking at the two, cold light flashing in his eyes, not dodging or evading, extending a single finger, fleshly power erupting, qi and blood surging and condensing into a giant finger, flicking at the two charging over! "Ripple!"

Next moment, the long blades in Yun Feng and Yun He's hands were flicked away, their bodies also like kites with cut strings, in an instant flying back upside down, mouthful after mouthful of fresh blood continuously flowing from their mouths, bleeding into the void.

And Yu Zhangsheng's expression stern, unmoved, whole body qi and blood surging, once more condensing in the high sky into a blood-colored giant palm, pressing down on the two flying back! "Rumble!"

Instant, Yun He and Yun Feng's whole bodies' bones all shattered, eyeballs bulging, the terror on their faces not yet fully solidified, two clusters of flames spontaneously ignited on their bodies, without a single scream, their bodies thoroughly turned to ash and scattered by the wind.

"What?"

Wang Yun Gang froze, cried out in shock, looking at Yu Zhangsheng, eyes undisguised terror, next moment without the slightest hesitation, turned to flee.

Fast, too fast, from Yu Zhangsheng's move to finish, merely two breaths' time, had already suppressed Yun He and Yun Feng, this kind of strength, in Wang Yun Gang's view, unfathomable, only Golden Core could possess.

Therefore how could he not flee, heart trembling incomparably, terror permeating every corner of his mind, even more secretly regretting to the extreme.

"Hehehe, where do you think you're going?"

Li Minghan suddenly blocked Wang Yun Gang's front, smilingly watching Wang Yun Gang, in an instant a fist blasted out.

"Pfft..."

Wang Yun Gang's body stumbled, coughed up a mouthful of blood, looking at the smiling Li Minghan, without the slightest hesitation, instantly knelt down, kowtowing to him incessantly.

"All the little one's fault for having eyes but no pearls, offending the few Dao Friends, please let the few Dao Friends let me go, spare my life, will definitely repay heavily, the little one grateful beyond measure."

"As long as you don't kill me, I'm willing to serve the various Adults as masters, be the various Adults' dog, a slave for a lifetime."

Wang Yun Gang's voice trembling, yet still said loudly, heart intestines all regretfully green.

"Oh? Interesting," Li Minghan's eyebrow raised, but indeed shook his head, "I don't lack dogs, you ah, still not qualified."

Speaking to the end, voice abruptly turned cold, waving his sleeve, a patch of shadow enveloped Wang Yun Gang.

Wang Yun Gang's body trembling raised his head, next instant, a bloody large mouth swallowed him.

"No..."

A "no" not yet finished speaking, Chi Shan Sub-Dragon's mouth flames surged, thoroughly burning him to ash, then spitting out, Wang Yun Gang thoroughly vanished into smoke and ash.

Done all this, Li Minghan satisfiedly touched Chi Shan Sub-Dragon's head, patted it once, then grinned at Yu Zhangsheng: "How about it, handled fairly clean and neat, right."

"Not bad," Yu Zhangsheng nodded, gaze landing on the dumbfounded Luo Meng, walked forward, faintly speaking, "Matter settled, where's the Gold Cauldron Yin Iron?"

"Huh?"

Luo Meng blanked, reacted, then hurriedly nodded, body trembling, yet face revealing respectful color, lowered head and fished out an object from his storage bag, handed to Yu Zhangsheng.

"Many thanks Senior for acting to save, Senior's great kindness, unforgettable even in death."

"Thanks not needed, merely each taking what they need."

Yu Zhangsheng took the Storage Bag, glanced at it, confirmed that inside was the Golden Cauldron Yin Iron, then said lightly, "But..."

Yu Zhangsheng shifted his tone, quietly looking at Luo Meng, a faint smile curling at the corner of his mouth, saying nothing more.

"This..."

Luo Meng's heart gave a thump, looking at Yu Zhangsheng, a cold sweat flowed from his forehead, so he gritted his teeth, his expression becoming even more respectful, and after giving a meaningful look to his two companions beside him, the latter two immediately understood, took out their respective Storage Bags, and respectfully handed them to Yu Zhangsheng.

Yu Zhangsheng nodded, his expression slightly easing, not bothering to look at what was inside, after receiving them, he glanced at Luo Meng with a meaningful look, and said lightly: "Alright, the crisis is resolved, we owe each other nothing. Next time, withdraw your little schemes."

After speaking, Yu Zhangsheng turned and left; as for Luo Meng, he did not intend to pursue the matter further, and Yu Zhangsheng naturally understood perfectly well the little schemes the other had played before.

Seeing him pass by, driven to a dead end, the other deliberately revealed Wang Yun Gang's identity to him—wasn't the goal to drag him into the water and force Wang Yun Gang to attack him? Although Wang Yun Gang posed no threat to him, he could understand Luo Meng's behavior, but it still displeased Yu Zhangsheng, which was why after taking the Golden Cauldron Yin Iron, he also demanded their Storage Bags.

It could be considered compensation.

"Hah..."

Looking at Yu Zhangsheng's back, Luo Meng exhaled sharply, his tense mind suddenly relaxing, and respectfully clasped his fists and bowed to Yu Zhangsheng.

"Thank you, Qian Sui. This junior is from the Ling Feng Caiyao Group; if there is anything needed, please feel free to command."

Hearing this, Yu Zhangsheng paused slightly, then continued to speed forward.

"Alright, the Golden Cauldron Yin Iron is in hand; next we need to speed up our descent down the Mountain."

Yu Zhangsheng smiled slightly and said to Zhang Tianwen.

"Good." Zhang Tianwen nodded and exhaled.

As for Luo Meng's matter, it was merely a small interlude, and none of them took it too seriously.

Hui Shui Shan was very large, but once they reached the Outside, danger posed basically no threat to them; moreover, Yu Zhangsheng had a Map, so the group moved quickly, and after another half day, descending the Mountain was within sight.

"Hold on, hold on; probably about half a day left before we can descend the Mountain. After descending, we'll find a place, summon the Spirit Boat, fly at maximum power, and head straight for the Sect."

Zhang Tianwen gazed into the distance, looked at the lush green mountains and forests around, and said in a low voice.

As for why they didn't summon the Spirit Boat to fly right here? First, because the water mist in Hui Shui Shan was dense, the meridians were chaotic, the environment was special, and the Spirit Boat would ultimately be affected flying inside it.

Second, because the Spirit Boat was too large a target, easily attracting the attention of some fierce sky Spirit Beasts in this Hui Shui Shan, as well as the pursuit of Golden Core cultivators.

"Good." Yu Zhangsheng and Li Minghan nodded and sped toward the foot of the Mountain.

"Hope everything goes smoothly..."

Yu Zhangsheng murmured softly in his heart; a faint sense of crisis always enveloped his mind, and as time passed, this sense of crisis not only did not disappear, but grew increasingly intense.

Like a layer of gloom that could not be dispelled, always shrouding over Yu Zhangsheng's mind.

"Howl howl howl..."

The wind howled, also driving the mist all over the sky, densely coming toward this place; the surrounding mountain forests and trees flickered in and out of sight in the mist, appearing even darker green, everything quiet, except for the howling wind, all was silent.

"Huh?!"

Yu Zhangsheng paused, suddenly turned back, the sense of crisis in his heart reached its peak at this moment, yet looking behind, a shocking blood light, like roaring thunder, came roaring toward them.

There was also a heavy and gloomy sound, simultaneously rippling out, echoing through the mountain forests.

"Found you, a group of little ghosts; you ran pretty fast."

Before the words had fully fallen, amidst the surging blood light, it gradually condensed into the figure of Jue Lingzi, looking at everyone with a gloomy expression, grinning, and blocking in front of Yu Zhangsheng and the others.

"So fast..."

Yu Zhangsheng's brows sank, Zhang Tianwen pressed his lips, his brow furrowed, deeply looking at Jue Lingzi.

Jue Lingzi chuckled and shook his head, but did not rush to attack; with a wave of his hand, a majestic blood light shot into the sky, dyeing the Tian Qiong of this place.

"He's sending a message; we'll fight a quick battle!"

Yu Zhangsheng growled lowly, his gaze cold, killing intent exploding; his body flickered, and behind him a great sun appeared, shining upon this Ci Fang Tian Di, with dazzling golden light instantly rising from his body, dyeing every part of him golden, like a deity descending to the mortal world, with extraordinary bearing.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The surrounding rocks exploded, huge boulders rose into the air, shattering and being reforged in midair, as if drawn, once again enveloping Yu Zhangsheng, forming a gray-black earthen armor; under the three-layer reinforcement, Yu Zhangsheng's qi and blood surged, his Fleshly Power reached its peak at this moment, rivaling Golden Core.

"Morning Sun Breaking Dawn Fist!"

"What a terrifying fleshly body, worthy of being a heaven's pride." Jue Lingzi's figure retreated explosively, a hint of solemnity flashing in his eyes, not daring to be careless; with a wave of his sleeve, a large expanse of blood mist appeared, blocking in front of him.

"Boom boom boom!!"

The next moment, the blood mist exploded; the Morning Sun Breaking Dawn Fist radiated boundless light, burning the blood mist to exhaustion, blasting out a path, with unstoppable momentum, rushing straight toward Jue Lingzi.

Jue Lingzi's body retreated; gripping his hand, a blood knife instantly appeared, and with a wave he slashed, sending out a moon crescent three zhang high, surging toward Yu Zhangsheng.

Yu Zhangsheng narrowed his eyes, directly ignoring this attack; the great sun in his hand rose and fell, and he continued to fiercely smash toward Jue Lingzi.

"Pfft..."

The moon crescent shattered; a mouthful of fresh blood overflowed from Yu Zhangsheng's mouth, while Jue Lingzi also fared no better, retreating three steps, his footing unsteady, a trace of fresh blood overflowing from his mouth.

Under Yu Zhangsheng's full power eruption, his fleshly body in an instant actually possessed the might of Golden Core, to the extent that even he felt threatened; especially since this kind of Golden Core propped up entirely by Pills was originally several points weaker than an ordinary Golden Core.

And Yu Zhangsheng's killing move naturally could not end so easily; after licking the fresh blood from the corner of his mouth with his tongue, Yu Zhangsheng's gaze flashed with cold light completely blooming; looking at the unstable Jue Lingzi, he grunted, his Divine Sense turned into lightning, and as he charged toward Jue Lingzi, he punched out again! "Thousand Mountains Flame Fist!"

This fist, flames entwined, the phantom of a thousand mountains appeared behind him, carrying the heaviness of mountains and rivers; Yu Zhangsheng stomped his foot on the ground, instantly the ground collapsed, and his body shot out like lightning, his momentum astonishing!

"Thousand Thoughts Slash! Spirit-Shocking Thrust!"

"Hmm?"

Jue Lingzi's face showed a look of astonishment; before he could speak, in an instant thunder roared, and from within, a sword of Geng Metal full of killing aura shot out simultaneously, tearing the Void! (Chapter End)
