Don't worry, he will come down to accompany you soon.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ji Jingcheng widened his eyes: \"Senior Brother Jiang Yi was also killed by you...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The voice stopped abruptly, and Xu Yang’s fist had already blasted onto his throat like lightning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Only hearing a crack, Ji Jingcheng covered his neck, his body twitching and falling to the ground.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang swept a glance at the battlefield, which was full of pits and bumps. As long as anyone passed by here, they would know that a great battle had taken place here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Quickly looting the spoils of war, he carried the two corpses and rushed into the forest in the distance.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>A quarter of an hour later, he returned and used light work to run towards Qingyang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just now he had counted the spoils of war, and the two had a total of 500 taels of silver and 30 contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Plus his previous contribution points, his contribution points were almost 60.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Wait for the garrison mission of the Hundred Medicine Hall to be settled, and all the contribution points added together should be enough to exchange for a true qi martial art.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The harvest of 500 taels of silver is also not small, enough to support for a period of time.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Arriving at the Hundred Medicine Hall, Xu Yang began to patrol as if nothing had happened. No one knew that he had slaughtered Han Xing and Ji Jingcheng on the way here.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Still have to be careful.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before taking action, he asked the two clearly, and the matter of the two intercepting and killing him was not told to anyone else.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he was still cautious. When the garrison ended at night, he didn't return to the Ziyang Gate, worried about being caught on the spot, but found an inn in the city to stay.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Xu Yang stayed in Qingyang City for two consecutive days, and when no one came looking for him, he knew that the killing of Ji Jincheng and Han Xing was indeed unknown to others, so he returned to the Purple Sun Sect.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother Lu, you've finally returned. If you hadn't come back, I would have gone down the mountain to find you.\" Sun Tao let out a long sigh of relief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang had not returned for two days, and he had thought something had happened to Xu Yang in the city.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang said: \"I had a sudden realization, so I stayed at an inn in the city for two days. Looking at your expression, Senior Brother, has something happened?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Tao nodded: \"Two days ago, Han Xing and Ji Jincheng left the sect and never returned. Someone found traces of a battle at the foot of the mountain and suspects they have been murdered. Now, the Fledgling Eagle Society is in chaos.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This Purple Sun Sect is a dignified martial arts sect, yet people die every single day. You go up and down the mountain every day, so you must be careful. That old dog Xiao Hua truly does not act like a human.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he couldn't help but curse Xiao Hua again.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Dying the moment they left the mountain gate—he was truly sweating for Xu Yang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the three-plus months since they arrived at the Purple Sun Sect, more than ten outer sect disciples had already died, many of them silently and without a trace; no one even knew who had killed them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This time, even a powerhouse like Han Xing had died.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If someone like Han Xing had no guarantee of safety, let alone someone like him who was inferior to Han Xing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Moreover, Han Xing's death hadn't caused much of a stir. The upper echelons of the Purple Sun Sect didn't care at all; it was just the members of the Fledgling Eagle Society who went to look for them, but the sect didn't intervene.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Junior Brother, you say we risked our lives to fight our way out of the Martial Arts Examination, only to come to a place like this. Is it worth it?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>At this moment, Sun Tao felt some regret.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Coming here to be a beast of burden for others, with no guarantee of safety, and perhaps dying any day—if he had known this, he would have been better off staying in Qingyuan as a master.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>With his strength, in Qingyuan County, he wouldn't say he could run wild, but at the very least, he wouldn't lose his life without even knowing when it was taken.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"That's why they have always blocked news about the sect from the outside,\" Xu Yang said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Regret was useless because you didn't know the situation of the Purple Sun Sect at all; it was only when they were about to reach the Purple Sun Sect that Li He revealed some of it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If they had known the Purple Sun Sect was so cruel, so many people would never have come.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Eh... Xu Yang is back. It's great that you're safe.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just at this moment, Zhao Zhifei, Zhang Yong, and Jiang Ping walked into the courtyard.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Not to mention Zhang Yong, but Jiang Ping and Zhao Zhifei's attitude toward him had changed drastically. Having become the \"leeks\" for Cao Rong and the others, they finally realized how wise Xu Yang's previous choices had been.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang nodded and cupped his hands in response; he noticed that the three of them didn't look very well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"What happened?\" Sun Tao asked in a deep voice.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If nothing had gone wrong, the three of them wouldn't have come together.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ping's expression was ugly as he said: \"Cao Rong and Yun Feng have assigned us a mission to capture exotic beast cubs. We are about to leave the sect and enter the Yunling Mountain Range.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Yunling Mountain Range is both a treasure trove and a dangerous place.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>While it nurtures countless treasures, it also has endless powerful exotic beasts. Among the many missions of the Purple Sun Sect, this kind of mission that requires entering the Yunling Mountain Range is the most dangerous.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Tao's face changed slightly; Cao Rong and Yun Feng's greed was too ugly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhang Yong said: \"We are afraid that if we go, we will never return, so we came to ask you, Senior Brother Sun, to help us keep our contribution points. If I don't come back, these things will be yours.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, he took out a few contribution points and handed them to Sun Tao.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't much, only five.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Jiang Ping and Zhao Zhifei fumbled around their bodies and also took out a few contribution points and some silver banknotes to stuff into Sun Tao's hands, asking him to help keep them safe, as they didn't want to die outside and let others benefit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Since it's death either way, why not rebel against the Sharp Wind Hall and fight for a glimmer of survival?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sun Tao's anger surged, his eyes turning red, with no joy at all.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the Mighty Distance Hall, he was a direct disciple of Lin Cheng, and he had good relationships with everyone.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three of them were essentially making their final arrangements, which ignited his anger.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three were silent for a while; what was being held over them was not just their own lives, but their families as well.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Cao family and the Yun family were both among the four great families of Qingyuan County. With the two families joining forces, no family in Qingyuan County was a match for them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The three soon left, and Sun Tao could only vent his anger for a while. Yun Feng and Cao Rong dared to act so excessively, naturally, because they had the backing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang returned to his room to cultivate for a while, then went to bed to rest.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the afternoon, he woke up from the bed, intending to eat at the dining hall before rushing to Qingyang City.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Just as he reached the entrance of the dining hall, he happened to run into Qin Ze and Chen Jiang walking out from inside.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>All three were stunned; they had been at the Purple Sun Sect for so long, and this was the first time they had met at the dining hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Chen Jiang's expression quickly returned to normal, while Qin Ze showed a slightly embarrassed look.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had been the one to build the alliance and invite Xu Yang to join, and then disbanded it without notifying Xu Yang. Even though he had been mentally prepared, he felt some shame at this moment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It wasn't just shame toward Xu Yang, but also shame for bowing his head to a powerful force; it was as if Xu Yang had seen him kneeling and kowtowing to Xiao Hua, an indescribably pathetic sight.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"I hope you can understand...\" Qin Ze growled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But he found that Xu Yang didn't pay any attention to him at all, walking straight past him as if he didn't know him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ze's expression froze on his face, indescribably awkward.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Why explain to him? It's his own fault for provoking someone he couldn't afford to offend,\" Chen Jiang sneered.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He drew a line between them very thoroughly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Qin Ze, on the other hand, wanted to draw a line to avoid being implicated, yet hoped Xu Yang would understand their difficulties and not hold a grudge against them—it was a case of wanting to have his cake and eat it too, which was, in fact, even more disgusting than Chen Jiang.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Xu Yang hadn't intended to pay attention, and he did indeed understand their difficulties, but upon hearing Chen Jiang's words, he looked back and gave Chen Jiang a cold glance before walking into the dining hall.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Time passed slowly. Xu Yang went out late and returned early. With the five hundred silver taels he obtained from Han Xing and Ji Jincheng, he ate exotic beasts at every meal, and his cultivation base improved steadily. In his spare time, he would also stroll around Qingyang City to see if he could buy some spiritual medicine for the Marrow Cleansing realm with money.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This day, outside the mountain gate of the Purple Sun Sect, a group of people with sharp auras walked over.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The one in the middle was none other than Kong Yu, the third of the Ten Heroes of the outer sect this year.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He was dressed in an outer sect disciple's training suit, walking steadily in the front. Only Shi Yong walked side-by-side with him in the lead, while the rest of the Heroic Society members walked behind the two.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Are you satisfied with this harvest, Junior Brother Kong?\" Shi Yong smiled.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This trip out was entirely to collect resources for Kong Yu, this genius. These people were all helpers arranged by the Heroic Society for Kong Yu.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kong Yu smiled: \"Satisfied. The Heroic Society is worthy of being one of the top organizations in the outer sect. These membership benefits are even better than I imagined.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It had only been ten days or so, and he had already obtained fifty or sixty contribution points.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If he had honestly done revenge missions, it would have taken him two or three months to accumulate so many contribution points. How could he not be satisfied?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>This generosity was greater than he had imagined.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Shi Yong laughed and said: \"As long as you're satisfied. With such talent, Junior Brother Kong, the Heroic Society naturally has to value you. It's just that I didn't expect your talent to be even better than what is rumored outside. I think you should be ranked first among the Ten Heroes.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In just a few days, they had witnessed Kong Yu's terrifying talent. Having only broken through recently, he could already suppress and kill experts of the same realm, which was very frightening.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Senior Brother Shi, you flatter me. How can I compare to Du Chuan and Li Chuyuan?\" Kong Yu said.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Although he said this, a hint of complacency flashed in the depths of his eyes.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He had already heard such words from many people, but Du Chuan and Li Chuyuan had too great a background, and he didn't dare to suppress the two of them for fear of offending them.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He still needed to join the Heroic Society to obtain protection, while those two, even the Heroic Society didn't dare to provoke them, and they only needed to wait for three years to pass before they could enter the inner sect directly.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Rest for a few days, Junior Brother Kong. I'll come find you again in a few days.\"\u003C\u002Fp>",2171,"2026-06-16T12:17:41.122Z","2026-06-16T12:23:14.066Z",1,"Gemini 3.1 Flash Lite","f886470f8444c7fe0a3d65527f35cb801414b075cbb703efb4eae20ac8c5c3b9","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-126","starting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-chapter-124",410,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fstarting-with-the-diamond-exercise-to-achieve-sa-cover.jpg"]
