Chapter 98: The Disciples' Quarrel

  Er Ya City, inside the inner courtyard's training hall, Nie Mengshan was personally instructing a group of young Nie clan disciples in the top-tier fist technique for tempering their tendons and bones.

  For the past two days, Nie Mengshan has been spending his time teaching the younger generation of the clan. After all, he can't stay here for long, and it's unknown when he'll return next - whether it's in a few years, ten years, or even hundreds of years later. Now that he's passing on many decent skills, he can also ensure the Nie family's future peace and prosperity.

  At this moment, in the deep autumn season, under the warm sunshine, a group of young people from the clan are seriously following Nie Mengshan's guidance to make moves, everything seems so perfect.

  A white rainbow streaked across the sky and paused for a moment above Nie's residence, a thousand feet in the air. This peaceful scene was thus disrupted.

  At the same time that white rainbow stopped, a dazzling silver light like a flying sword suddenly shot down, condensing halfway into a ten-zhang silver knife with immense destructive power, heading straight for the main hall of Nie Manor.

  "How bold!"

  As soon as the white rainbow stopped in mid-air, Nie Mengshan was already alert and rose to meet it. In an instant, he swung his sword to its limit, transforming his body into a streak of light, using his own flesh to block the massive silver blade descending from the sky.

  The silver sword slashed onto Nie Mengshan's body, stirring up countless starlight. Those starlights born from the intense impact condensed into numerous small pieces of bright silver blades in an instant, emitting a chilling and sharp aura.

  A dense sound of metal clashing echoed out, at some unknown time. Nie Mengshan's entire body was suddenly covered in a layer of golden armor, and that golden armor faintly emitted the unique glow of divine magic, its shape extremely majestic and powerful. Even if countless sharp blades struck him, they couldn't cause Nie Mengshan the slightest harm.

  The ten-zhang silver knife that was cut down from the air was blocked by Nie Mengshan with his palm. Not to mention that it was slashed downwards, at this moment it was being rolled back by Nie Mengshan with crazy strength.

  "Are you the one who killed my disciple?"

  At this moment, Bai Hong revealed his true form. If it wasn't the real Star Extreme, who else could it be? This time he rushed over, he went straight to the city's Nie family, and ordered the five great disciples to go to the mine on the outskirts of the city, killing all the people in the Nie family, attacking from two sides, obviously he had already made up his mind to completely wipe out the Nie family.

  "It seems so, you are indeed Xing Ji Zhen Ren of Qing Ling Sect."

  A suit of golden armor covered his body, and Nie Meng's powerful strength was like that of a heavenly god. With a loud crash, he shattered the giant silver sword, his figure leaping into the air and stopping at a distance of a hundred feet away. He said coldly.

  Xing Ji Zhen Ren had already achieved the Great Completion of Golden Elixir two hundred years ago, and with his own strength, he was able to create a medium-sized sect like Qing Ling Zong. He can be called a "capable person", far surpassing the likes of Bai Huo Zhen Ren.

  Only to see Nianman Mountain is just the ninth realm of Lingdong cultivation, Xingji Zhenren is even more reckless and laughs wildly: "A mere Lingdong period child dares to ask my name, go die."

  Xing Ji Zhen Ren didn't have the heart to waste words. With a wave of his hand, five silver star auras emerged from his fingertips, initially only a few inches wide, but in just a few breaths, they suddenly expanded to the thickness of two men embracing.

  As his five fingers trembled, the five strands of star energy suddenly transformed into a giant silver snake made up of snowflakes and rushed towards Niefeng Mountain.

  "Heavenly King's Armor, Solidify!"

  Feeling the immense pressure brought by Xing Ji's true self, Nie Mengshan didn't hesitate to activate the ultimate defensive divine technique passed down by the four great elders.

  But as he saw the golden armor covering his body, it suddenly changed, and a stronger armor than before was added to his body, giving people an unbreakable thick feeling.

  "Top-tier Divine Ability?" Xing Ji's eyes flashed with a hint of greed, before he coldly snorted: "What's the use of top-tier Divine Abilities? Under my True Self's 'Five Extreme Starry Qi', you'll still be reduced to ashes."

  Facing the five-headed python that was rushing towards him, Nie Mengshan didn't say a word and punched out fiercely. The "Nine Ox Demon Fist" under his full force burst forth with unprecedented absolute power. With just one punch, he smashed the largest python that had rushed to his front into powder.

  For a moment, the fists rose and fell, and Nie Mengshan's sturdy physique and superior strength were fully displayed. The five-headed star python was completely destroyed by him.

  Having seen this scene, the corner of Xing Ji's mouth curled up in a slight sneer. With a swift change in his expression, he lightly shouted: "The stars are imperishable, their essence forever preserved, what about you?"

  "Whoosh"

  It was originally transformed into a weak starlight that split and destroyed the five-headed giant python, but it actually condensed again. Once again, it launched a crazy attack on Nie Mengshan.

  The cycle repeated, the five-headed python was indestructible. Although Nie Mengshan was fearless and unharmed, the consumption of his true yuan energy was enormous. After all, he was currently using two top-tier divine abilities at the same time. If it were an ordinary spiritual dynamic period cultivator, they would probably be exhausted by now.

  "This star's cultivation realm is originally far above mine, and with such a powerful divine ability, if I want to win, I can only rely on sudden explosion, get close to the distance and take it down, otherwise the outcome will be that my own true yuan will be exhausted and die."

  Nie Mengshan is usually quite straightforward, but he is extremely intelligent. Otherwise, he wouldn't have become the direct disciple of the Supreme Mystic Yang Sect in just 23 years, from being a mundane young master. Especially in terms of combat experience, Nie Mengshan has accumulated wealth that is not inferior to Chu Yi's hundred deaths and rebirths.

  Nie Mengshan judged the situation and went all out. He didn't hold back, exhausting his true yuan to bring the power of "Nine Heads Cow Demon Fist" to its limit. Thousands of fists descended like a waterfall, and the five-headed python transformed into starlight that scattered within a hundred feet.

  On the other side, Xing Ji Zhen Ren transformed into Hua Ling Jue once again. As he re-gathered his starlight, Nie Meng Shan charged forward without any hesitation, protected by the top-tier defensive divine ability "Tian Wang Shen Kao". The scattered stardust couldn't cause him any harm.

  In this way, Xing Ji would not know how Nie Mengshan was thinking. With a cold smile, Ling Jue struck out, and the star energy converged to form a massive five-headed python that chased after him with its tail in its mouth. However, it was actually trying to get ahead of Nie Mengshan by one move, and when the latter suddenly advanced thirty feet, it once again heavily surrounded and tore at him with frenzied attacks.

  "Give me a break!"

  This time, Man Shan went without hesitation and actually rushed into the mouth of a giant python.

  "Being swallowed by Ben Tianxuan's Star Serpent, Xiao Wei has no choice but to wait for death."

  Xing Ji Zhen Ren clenched his fist, and the giant python that had swallowed Niefeng Mountain suddenly shrunk into a ball. Immediately after, there was a loud "boom" as it released a terrifying burst of star energy. The power of this explosion was no longer something that an ordinary Spiritual Movement stage cultivator could withstand, even if they had a defensive spiritual artifact in hand, they would still undoubtedly die.

  At the same time, the five great disciples of Xing Ji Zhen Ren were hovering above the Nie family's mine, and as soon as they made a move, they saw a

  The path is shocked by the rainbow rising from the ground.

  "Now retreat is your only chance of survival."

  In mid-air, Chu Yi intercepted the five junior brothers and unreservedly displayed his aura, knowing that the divine yuan force flowing within him was unmatched. At the same level, no one could compare to him in terms of yuan force reserves and condensation.

  This also made Chu Yi's momentum burst out at this moment, overwhelming and suppressing any one of his opponents.

  Facing Chu Yi's pressure, the five people who were also in the Lingdong period changed their faces slightly. Especially Qin Chengzong, who had contact with Chu Yi before, showed a hint of fear and quickly exchanged recognition with his four senior brothers.

  At this time, Chu Yi didn't mean to take immediate action. In fact, he did so for a reason, although Chu Yi didn't mind getting rid of the person in front of him; after all, they were both cultivators of the Lingdong period, and it was not difficult for Chu Yi to deal with them. However, what Chu Yi was worried about was that his support for Nie Mengshan would be delayed.

  After all, capturing five Lingdong Qi cultivators in one breath is not something that can be done just by saying it.

  It was precisely because of this that Chu Yi naturally displayed his aura to the fullest, showing in his brief contact with the people of Qingling Sect that these people were basically cowards who feared the strong and bullied the weak.

  "Brother Chu, we meet again."

  Those five people seemed to have already made up their minds. Qin Chengzong smiled and bowed his fist at Chu Yi from a distance, saying: "I wonder who has such ability, actually taking down my senior brother. Now that I've met Brother Chu, I'm finally relieved. With Brother Chu's unparalleled skills as the top disciple of the Xuanyang Sect, Duan Junxian isn't even worthy of holding your shoes, and his death is well-deserved."

  "I can kill Duan Junxian, and I can also kill all of you. Leave now, this is your last chance."

  Chu Yi remained unmoved, coldly saying that the divine light around her body was fully revealed, and the extinguishing golden flames also rose from her palm. This display alone made Qin Chengzong and others who only grasped one or two kinds of mortal-level spiritual abilities feel a chill in their hearts.

  "Chu brother, we don't want to be enemies with you either, but the master's orders are hard to disobey. How can we explain this? Alas! Duan Junxing was never a good person in the clan anyway, and now that he's dead, it's just as well. The ones who are really in trouble are us." Qin Chengzong seemed to have received some hints from his fellow disciples, and his tone softened as usual.

  This Spirit Trampling Sect is indeed a gathering place for losers. There are several of them. The "good disciple" Xing Ji True Person will surely be delighted!

  Chu Yiheng's eyes flashed with a dense killing intent, and he said fiercely: "Since that's the case, I'll give you an opportunity. Listen well, Star Extreme True Person must have arrived at Dashaci Nie's house by now. I'll go and kill him, and this matter will be thoroughly settled. In the future, I won't bother your Qingling Sect either. Otherwise, it will be like this mountain."

  On the three words "yours", Chu Yi put special emphasis.

  Chu Yiyu's words shocked everyone, and before Qin Chengzong and others could react, he suddenly used the Great Divine Ability Technique, Dicewind Unextinguished, Golden Net Unextinguished. Under the violent expansion of his body, he transformed into a rainbow light that shot out several miles away to a mountain peak over a hundred meters high. "Overbearing Strike" was launched with an astonishingly powerful force, like a tsunami crashing out, this was already Chu Yiyu's all-out attack.

  Under the fist's power, the hundred-zhang mountain peak suddenly split in half from the middle, and tens of millions of tons of half-mountain rocks collapsed with a loud crash, shocking Qin Chengzong and others who witnessed this scene into a daze.

  "A few fellow disciples, absolutely must not make an enemy of this person, otherwise before the master arrives, we will die under his fists."

  "Are we going to retreat like this?"

  "Get out of here, if Master finds out later, he won't just skin us alive"

  "What can be done about it? Fighting is no use, and retreating is impossible?"

  "Looking at this person's strength, how does it compare to our master's? Is there a chance of winning in one battle?"

  "Even if it were our master, it's unlikely that they could accomplish such a feat, and yet you're trying to surpass them."

  "Then we might as well let him have his way and let him go."

  "What?"

  "Third Brother, why are you being so obstinate? He's going to fight our Master to the death. If he dies, we'll naturally be fine. If he doesn't die, then Master will probably also meet his end. We don't have any grudges against him. If Master dies, everything will be settled, and the massive amount of cultivation resources in the Ling Sect's secret vault will become ownerless. At that time..."

  "Sixth Younger Brother, you..."

  "I think Sixth Brother's proposal is good, very good. We should think more for ourselves."

  "That's perfect, let's do it this way."

  If Xing Ji's true body were to arrive under his seat, the five great disciples had yet to make a move, he would have already sold out this master of his. It's likely that spitting out three liters of blood is inevitable.

  In fact, this is also the inevitable result of the years of Qinling Sect's doing evil and accumulating wealth at the cost of human lives, cultivating disciples like Qin Chengzong into people who have no regard for their own lives or the lives of others.

  What is dignity, as long as the conditions are right, what can't be sold?

  While Chu Yi was precisely taking advantage of this point, he would have taken such action. Otherwise, why would he waste two tenths of his spiritual yuan to smash a mountain head?

  "Brother Chu, the five of us, your fellow disciples, have met with you as if no time has passed. Today's matter was originally not right on our master's part. We too are good people with a sense of justice in our hearts. Our teacher's kindness is like a mountain, please forgive us for being unable to put righteousness above family ties, but we would even more so be unwilling to become your enemy and assist the tyrant. You may leave."

  Qin Chengzong's words were so stirring that they would have moved anyone who didn't know the situation to be touched by their noble sentiments. Since there was already a plan in place, the five of them dispersed to either side, making a gesture of invitation, each with a benevolent smile on their face. This ability to change their expression was truly one of their strong suits.

  "It's like that, Chu Mou went and came back with the Xing Ji Zhen Ren's grade, also to fulfill your master-disciple relationship, and in his death, he was able to show filial piety."

  Chu Yi was a person who emerged from the big dye vat of modern society, and had never seen any kind of hypocrisy. Although Qin Chengzong's shamelessness was already unparalleled, Chu Yi could see right through it.

  Chu Yi's sudden departure left everyone stunned, and Qin Chengzong and others let out a collective sigh of relief.

  Just now when discussing internally, the third master who had just sung a few sentences of counter-melody suddenly spoke up and said: "Since this person has already left, we might as well go ahead and kill all the Nie family members inside the mine."

  "Third Brother, this is absolutely unacceptable. Don't you ever think about it? What if Chu Yi takes down our Master, wouldn't we be in trouble?"

  "How is that possible, Master is a renowned Golden Elixir True Person. His cultivation is of the highest level, and recently he has also refined the Nine Sons Yin Demon, this terrifying magic instrument. What can Chu Yi do? He's just a Spirit Movement Period cultivator," "Hmph, you won't kill him, I will."

  Third Master had never agreed with Qin Chengzong's decision, and now that his temper was up, he didn't care what the other four thought. He drew out his flying sword and began to reap the lives of the terrified Nie family members in the mine.

  "Third Master, what's the point of this?"

  It was almost at the same time that Third Master's Flying Sword killed. Including Qin Chengzong, the four of them exchanged a look and actually used their strongest killing moves together, with a thunderous momentum, directly blasting the former to death on the spot.

  Due to unexpected changes, and being ambushed by his own people, Third Master was killed off without even a chance to let out a tragic cry.

  "This guy, I've had enough of him. If he's allowed to slaughter the Nie family at the mine, regardless of whether Chu Yi or Shifu lives or dies, none of us will have a good ending."

  "That's natural, if Chu Yisheng wins, he'll definitely put the blame for the massacre at the mine on our heads. If Shifu wins, this guy will inevitably take credit in front of Shifu and sell us all out. Shifu's methods are so ruthless, I think you all understand that better than me."

  "This guy is different from us, he's a junior of our master. We should have killed him earlier, only then would today's matter be completely safe."

  Qin Chengzong, who had taken the storage ring from Third Master, nodded affirmatively upon hearing the words of several masters: "This guy still has some oil and water, we four will divide it first, and then wait here. The final result is just that."

  One by one
