Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Jiang Ming did not leave immediately. He released more Devil Qi until it covered an area of 100 miles in just a blink of an eye. At the same time, black flames surged around his body. He was using the black flames to get rid of any potential risks or evidence that he might have missed. Subsequently, he cleansed his spoils with mana and removed whatever traces were left before he finally felt more at ease.
Jiang Ming saw three surviving disciples from Qingyun Sect trembling in the corner, but he ignored them. He activated his Great Akasa Steps and returned to Chuyang Peak after taking a huge detour.
…
Almost dawn.
Mu Shuiyun hurried to the scene of the battle.
“Lei! My son!” Mu Shuiyun cried out as she searched for him to no avail. Her powerful energy distorted the air around her, causing a meteorological phenomenon in the sky that ravaged the mountainous terrain.
When she found the three surviving Qingyun Sect disciples, she questioned them about what had transpired. After learning about the ins and outs of the event, she cried out in a voice that held indescribable sorrow and hatred, “Luo Hou! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you! I’ll kill you!”
When she calmed down slightly, she began to search for traces of her son’s murderer. She started by searching the epicenter of the battle.
…
Inside a room at Chuyang Peak.
Swoosh!
The Human Path Records flipped open.
Name: Mu Shuiyun
Gender: Female
Cultivation base: Primal Spirit Realm
Background: Elder of Qingyun Sect.
Relationship: 0
Innate Talent: Nine stars (Water Spirit Body)
Status: She awakened from her cultivation completely when a fragment of her Primal Spirit was destroyed. She rushed to the site of the battle and found three surviving disciples from Qingyun Sect. She’s now searching for traces of Luo Hou and traces of the devil sects in a frenzy.
“The relationship value is now 0? It used to be -98. Does this have something to do with me disguising myself as Luo Hou when I fought a strand of her Primal Spirit? Her hatred must be directed at Luo Hou. She doesn’t know I am, after all.” Jiang Ming smiled.
After putting away the Human Path Records, he began to go through his spoils. He had gained many items from this battle. There was the high-grade Artifact, Purple Cloud, from Ge Changqing and Lan Shi’s high-grade sword, Blue Crystal. He had also obtained several other Artifacts and dozens of weapons. Apart from that, he also had many spiritual crystals.
A middle-grade spiritual crystal held 100 times more power than a low-grade spiritual crystal while a high-grade spiritual crystal held 100 times more power than a middle-grade spiritual crystal.
The spiritual crystals he obtained this time were equivalent to 100 high-grade spiritual crystals. This was considered a huge number of crystals.
“Villains are always rewarded with riches! I feel like I’ve gotten rich overnight,” Jiang Ming exclaimed to himself.
After sorting his spoils and putting them away, he began to look at the Special Abilities he gained from the fragment of Mu Shuiyun’s Primal Spirit.
Primal Spirit Heart Sword was an attack using one’s Primal Spirit. The requirements to cultivate it were high. After studying it, he finally understood that if Mu Shuiyun were to unleash it in person, he might not have been able to block it with his sea of consciousness.
The Heart Sword was capable of slashing Primal Spirits and destroying one’s will. It would strike suddenly and could not be evaded. Indeed, it was a powerful move.
Then, there was the Nine Heavens Imperial Lightning. Ge Changqing had used this spell previously. He had called upon the power of lightning. It was a terrifying sight to behold. However, Jiang Ming could tell Ge Changqing had yet to completely master the spell.
Wood Dragon. This was a Wood Element Special Ability. It could conjure up trees that would then turn into dragons. It was a move that combined both offense and defense.
Slice the Heavens sword technique was also one that Ge Changqing had used. Its power seemed capable of parting heaven and earth.
Then, there was the Heaven Suppression Divine Seal. It was an immense seal that could suppress all things.
“Although it was just a fragment of her Primal Spirit, I gained five techniques from it. They might not be able to compare to my Great Akasa Formless Sword Qi, Great Akasa Steps, or Nine Divine Mountain Treasures, but they’ll still be powerful moves after I master them. There’s no denying these Special Abilities are unique. With them, I have more weapons in my arsenal!” Jiang Ming smiled, satisfied.

He nodded in satisfaction when he saw the changes in his information.
…
While Jiang Ming was happy, there was someone who could not even sleep.
Mu Shuiyun quickly spread the word about the reemergence of the devil sects.
With that, it did not take long before experts arrived at the site of the battle. They tried to glean information from their surroundings with their Special Abilities and spells. Alas, they did not find anything noteworthy. All they could sense was the extremely pure Devil Qi.
After that, they did a sweep and found a base of the Yinmo Sect that was located 10,000 miles away. It was hidden in the mountains and was concealed by a Grand Formation. Needless to say, the Grand Formation did nothing to hide the base from the experts.
Just like that, another battle took place at dawn. It was a bitter battle since both parties were not prepared for it.
…
The Sima family.
The destruction of Sima Lang’s soul caused the head of the Sima family to lose sleep. He felt extremely uneasy.
He was aware of the Sima family’s connection to Bishui Sect so he knew if the matter was exposed, the other forces would definitely work together to deal with the Sima family. At that time, the Sima family would be known for trying to ally with a powerful sect and would be called the thief of the Eastern Region.
…
On a remote island located in the East Sea.
The base camp of Bishui Sect.
The sect was alerted as soon as Lan Shi died. One of the experts hurriedly contacted the other members in the Eastern Region’s Shenzhou and told them to look into the matter.
…
Meanwhile, Jiang Ming was unaware of the chain of events that were unfolding as a result of his killing spree.
When it was dawn, Jiang Ming was in a good mood as he went downstairs. He fetched water, chopped wood, and cleaned the courtyard before he began to prepare breakfast.
Even in his past life, he did not mind cooking. Moreover, he would gladly cook for his junior sister. What he disliked was doing the dishes after the meals. However, things were different now. With just a spell, he could remove the grease.
…
Taiyang Peak.
The Sect Master had been feeling uneasy due to yesterday’s events. He drank a cup of tea as he looked at the light that dawn brought. He was mulling over the possible troubles that Jiuyang Sect might face after offending Ge Changqing and Mu Shuiyun.
At this moment, he saw a streak of light flying over from a distance. He raised his hand and intercepted the message that was sent to him. Words could not describe the shock he felt after reading the message. When he recovered from his shock, a grin appeared on his face immediately before he began to laugh heartily.
He quickly restrained himself before he muttered under his breath, “I can’t believe that fiend, Ge Changqing, is dead! What impeccable timing! This is wonderful! This is great! I have to admit I’m really happy!”
He could not help but stand up and do a little celebratory dance. When he realized what he had done, he cleared his throat and looked around to make sure no one saw him before he hurriedly sat down. In just a moment, he regained his dignified air. Nevertheless, he could not hide the smile on his face.
Soon after, the smile was replaced by a frown. “A devil killed Ge Changqing. Clearly, that devil isn’t afraid of Qingyun Sect at all. Are the devils trying to make a comeback? That would be bad. Fortunately, it seemed like they’re only targeting Qingyun Sect for now.”
The Sect Master began to think of what Jiuyang Sect should do if the devil sects made a move again.
…
The sun rose in the east, illuminating the lands with its golden light.
Jiang Ming placed the dishes he had cooked on the stone table in the courtyard. When he saw his junior sister, he said, “I cooked your favorite dishes. There are shrimp dumplings, steamed egg custard, green onion tofu, tofu with shallots, bamboo shoot salad, and fish balls.”
“You’re the best, Senior Brother!” Linglong’s eyes curved when she smiled. “Even the best pills and spiritual crystals can’t compare to the breakfast you made, Senior Brother!”
Jiang Ming laughed. “That’s exactly what I like to hear!”
At this moment, Gu Hai cleared his throat before he said, “Someone seems to have forgotten about their master whom they should honor first!”
Jiang Ming was rendered speechless by his master’s words while Linglong covered her mouth and laughed.
The trio chatted merrily as they ate the breakfast Jiang Ming had prepared.
After that, Jiang Ming went to the back of the mountain.
It was time to harvest his crops.
