Chapter 1595

Ximen Wudi continued, "Now then, do you still want to kill me? If you don't want to die, you'd better scram obediently. If you remain obstinately stubborn, then don't blame me for being ruthless!"

Ximen Wudi looked coldly at these elders of the Zhao family, a chilling killing intent flickering in his eyes.

"We were wrong. Please forgive us, sir. We of the Zhao family shall never forget your kindness for the rest of our lives. After today, we will absolutely never set foot in Dongzhou again. You may travel to Dongzhou with peace of mind — our Zhao family elders will send someone to escort you there."

That Zhao family elder hurriedly said.

At this moment.

This Zhao family elder was also feeling extremely frustrated.

He had originally wanted to use this chance to humiliate Ximen Wudi, but he hadn't expected to end up throwing a rock at his own foot.

Now.

He had lost the Lady and the soldiers to boot.

He truly didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

But a young supreme like Ximen Wudi—

—was truly not someone that low-realm cultivators like them could afford to provoke.

So this Zhao family elder could now only grovel and beg for mercy.

"That works too."

Hearing that Zhao family elder's promise, Ximen Wudi couldn't help but pause slightly.

Clearly, this fellow's attitude was entirely beyond his expectations.

Ximen Wudi said, "Fine, I'll forgive you."

Ximen Wudi said, "Scram!"

Hearing Ximen Wudi's words, the Zhao family elder hurriedly said, "Many thanks, sir. Here is your Dongzhou token — it records the route for you to travel to Dongzhou."

Then.

The Zhao family elder took out a token and handed it to Ximen Wudi.

Ximen Wudi took the token, glanced at it, confirmed the route, then tucked the token away and swiftly left the Zhao family.

Ximen Wudi was very fast — in the blink of an eye, he had vanished from the Zhao family's sight.

Not long after Ximen Wudi left, a group of cultivators flew over from afar.

This group of cultivators was precisely those Zhao family cultivators from earlier.

"Big Brother, our Young Master…"

A tall, thin cultivator with dark skin and a rough, rugged appearance said.

His name was Zhao Hu, the Zhao family's representative for this trip to Xizhou.

"Hmph, useless trash — you've utterly disgraced our Zhao family's face."

Zhao Hu's second uncle, Zhao Peng, said with a cold laugh, the anger and frustration of a man disappointed in his own kin written plainly across his face.

"Zhao Hu, take the Young Master back for treatment!"

Zhao Peng ordered.

"Yes!"

Zhao Hu hurriedly replied.

Then he picked up Zhao Tianlong from the ground.

……

Soon.

Ximen Wudi arrived near a mountain peak — this mountain peak was called Tianshan.

Tianshan.

It was a sacred ground in Dongzhou.

Tianshan.

Was also known as Tian Sect.

It is said—

—Tian Sect was a force left in Dongzhou by an ancient sect, and the master of that ancient sect had once had ties with the Holy Emperor.

Therefore—

—Tian Sect was also called Sheng Sect.

Sheng Sect's power was extremely vast.

……

Tianshan.

The mountain's terrain was steep, like a giant python coiled upon the peak.

Tian Sect was situated right on Tianshan.

Within Tianshan, all manner of precious and rare treasures were beyond count.

This was also the place cultivators loved most to visit, and there were many local specialties besides.

Spiritual herbs and the like, for instance — all were treasures hard to find in the outside world.

Moreover, within Tian Sect there were many powerful cultivators.

At this moment, an immortal ship descended upon the peak of Tianshan — it was Tian Sect's immortal ship; only an immortal ship could enter Tian Sect.

……

The peak of Tianshan.

A massive palace stood towering in midair.

This place.

It is where the Tianzong disciples reside.

And all Tianzong disciples cultivate in that place.

"Young Master Lin, welcome back. You wouldn't believe how lively the Eastern Region—and even the entire Xizhou—has been since you left."

Zhao Hu carried the unconscious Zhao Tianlong to the outside of the palace.

Seeing Zhao Hu, Ximen Wudi smiled and said, "I just left the Zhao family a short while ago. You should hurry back there too and report. Whether Zhao Tianlong lives or dies doesn't matter—those Zhao elders must be frantic by now."

Zhao Hu sighed. "Alas! The eldest young master truly is a curse. If only he could rein in his temper, I believe the Zhao family's strength would never have sunk to this level."

"Enough talk. Let's hurry and report. If we delay, I fear punishment." Zhao Hu said with a smile.

The two walked into the palace, one behind the other.

Within Tianshan, there are countless palaces.

Each palace has its own independent Gu Jinzhi.

Therefore,

Even the master of Tianshan cannot break through such Gu Jinzhi.

……

Zhao Hu's pace was not fast. As he walked, he asked, "Lin Shiyin, that boy I just offended—he comes from a terrifying background. Though I know a little of his origins, I cannot fathom just how terrifying they are. But it's said this boy ascended from Xizhou to Dongzhou. I suspect he may be a prodigy cultivated by some great power. I worry that if I've offended him, and he returns to his family, he'll tell his elders about this."

"What you say isn't without merit. Such figures are indeed hard to provoke. But it's not your fault—he's lucky he met me. Otherwise, I would've already exterminated him!"

Ximen Wudi said coolly.

Zhao Hu said grimly, "I hope so."

Soon, the two arrived at a side hall.

Inside the side hall,

Zhao Peng, the Zhao family patriarch, and several other Zhao family Taishang elders were in seclusion.

"Greetings, Taishang elders. Greetings, patriarch."

Zhao Hu bowed deeply.

Zhao Peng said, "Zhao Hu, you may withdraw."

"Yes!"

Zhao Hu responded and left the room.

Then Zhao Peng said, "What is Ximen Wudi's origin?"

"This man appears to have ascended from Dongzhou."
