The older Sheep Demon initially wanted to say he didn’t know, to distance himself.

But he couldn’t withstand these rash young ones, such pig teammates!

The World Honored turned to the young Sheep Demon who carried on the conversation and asked, "Do you know where the fat monk went?"

"I don’t know, I went back to the village to gather people, but when I returned, he was gone." The young Sheep Demon answered truthfully.

The World Honored pondered for a moment, then lightly pointed a finger towards the Sheep Demons, and their memories, like slides, flashed one by one before the World Honored’s eyes.

After confirming that these Sheep Demons hadn’t lied, the World Honored didn’t trouble them further.

...

...

Deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Wu Nengsheng, this nimble fatty, was quickly weaving through them, running straight towards the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Deep within the Ten Thousand Mountains, there are many reclusive Tier Two Peak powerhouses; even the World Honored has to consider carefully before making a move here.

Just as Wu Nengsheng swiftly traversed through the forest, a robust figure descended from the sky, slowly landing on the path ahead of Wu Nengsheng.

"Wu Nengsheng, where are you going?" The World Honored looked at Wu Nengsheng ahead, an icy smile appeared at the corner of his mouth.

Seeing the person blocking his way, Wu Nengsheng felt his scalp tingle and a chill ran down his spine.

As the second-in-command of the Sect, he could naturally recognize at a glance that this was the World Honored’s doppelganger.

"World Honored, during your absence, there have been many matters in the Sect driving me to distraction, exceedingly vexing me."

"Hence, I had the thought of coming to the Ten Thousand Mountains to live in seclusion for a while to relieve my mood." Wu Nengsheng spoke slowly.

Of course, this talk from Wu Nengsheng was purely for show, like burning paper at a grave to fool the dead!

The World Honored obviously had no intention to beat around the bush, he directly chided with a cold face, "Wu Nengsheng, you deserve death!"

The World Honored directly laid his cards on the table, giving Wu Nengsheng no chance to retort.

Wu Nengsheng stared blankly at the World Honored, knowing that he had been exposed.

Since that’s the case, there’s no point in pretending anymore.

If the real World Honored were here today, Wu Nengsheng would drop to his knees and beg for mercy without a second thought.

However, what came was merely the third life of the World Honored’s manifestation, which Wu Nengsheng wasn’t afraid of.

The World Honored had come with a doppelganger, indicating he also had reservations.

If the real World Honored showed up, he would inevitably face a group attack, with dozens or hundreds of Tier Two Peaks besieging him, even the World Honored couldn’t withstand it.

"World Honored, are you here to kill me?"

"With just this doppelganger, it seems insufficient to kill me, doesn’t it?" Wu Nengsheng said with a grim face.

"This doppelganger can’t kill Kong Xuan, but killing you is sufficient!" The World Honored said lightly.

Hearing this, Wu Nengsheng’s face grew even more unpleasant.

Since the World Honored secluded himself, within the Sect, Wu Nengsheng and the Peacock Great Ming King have competed fiercely over the years.

Their skills have always been evenly matched, with no clear victor.

This statement from the World Honored was blatant contempt, suggesting he considered Wu Nengsheng weaker than the Peacock Great Ming King.

Actually, the World Honored wasn’t lying, he was telling the truth.

From his perspective, this doppelganger couldn’t take down Kong Xuan, but it could defeat Wu Nengsheng.

This is evident from his approach; he negotiated with Kong Xuan first, but upon meeting Wu Nengsheng, he immediately declared to kill.

The World Honored underestimated Wu Nengsheng, yet Wu Nengsheng dared not underestimate the World Honored.

Even though, standing before him, was just a doppelganger of the World Honored.

Thus, Wu Nengsheng took the initiative and struck first.

"Buzz!"

Suddenly, a buzzing sound echoed, and Wu Nengsheng summoned his golden cymbal.

Between the strikes, sonic attacks transformed into fierce gales, assaulting the World Honored and blowing him stumbling backwards.

After retreating several steps, the World Honored steadied himself and made a seal with his hand.

"卍."

Soon, a "卍" symbol appeared in the World Honored’s palm, the "卍" grew with the wind and carried immense power as it flew towards Wu Nengsheng.

Wu Nengsheng seemed to feel the powerful pressure from the "卍" symbol, he gritted his teeth and continuously struck his golden cymbal.

The "卍" symbol, like Mount Tai pressing down, slowly approached, Wu Nengsheng continuously struck his golden cymbal, using sonic waves to resist the pressure of the "卍" symbol.

As the confrontation between the two continued, the surrounding ground began to tremble, countless trees and rocks were reduced to dust in the violent energy.

Even the ground was cracked with numerous fissures, scorching red magma flowed out from them.

Such massive energy fluctuations quickly alarmed those old ones nestled within the Ten Thousand Mountains.

However, though these old ones were aged, they were not foolish.

They didn’t immediately interfere with the battle, choosing instead to watch the tiger fight from the mountaintop.

As the confrontation continued, Wu Nengsheng gradually began to struggle to hold his ground.

Wu Nengsheng felt his muscles paralyze, the energy within unable to sustain, he dared not hold on stubbornly any longer.

"World Honored, don’t get too full of yourself!"

"I dared to make a move against you naturally because I have my trump card!"

"News of our battle has already spread, my reinforcements will be here soon."

"If you have any sense, you should leave quickly, or else, this doppelganger of yours fears it may be destroyed within the Ten Thousand Mountains!" Wu Nengsheng snapped out harsh words and turned to run deeper into the Ten Thousand Mountains.

Seeing that he’s not a match in a head-on clash, Wu Nengsheng aimed to buy time.

Wu Nengsheng had already formed an alliance with Elder Bai, Qingqiu Mountain Grand Elder, and others; in this situation, Elder Bai and others must save him.

If they don’t save Wu Nengsheng, the alliance would have no reason to exist.

After all, if allies are untrustworthy, then in the future, trust will be absent, leaving everyone insecure.

However, since the World Honored came to kill Wu Nengsheng, he naturally had a backup plan.

Don’t forget, the World Honored has a total of nine lives!

Even excluding the one destroyed by Lin Yuan, killing Wu Nengsheng with one, and the true form that cannot be recklessly deployed.

The World Honored still has six usable doppelgangers.

These six doppelgangers, each is a Tier Two Peak!

"Do you think, they can come to rescue you?"

"My other doppelgangers don’t wish to act, but that doesn’t mean they can’t!" The World Honored said coldly.

The other doppelgangers of the World Honored do not walk the mortal world, not wishing to entangle themselves in causality, impeding their spiritual journey.

Now, Wu Nengsheng has become an obstacle to his spiritual pursuit.

Forced and with no choice, deploying the doppelganger is also an unavoidable action.

Moreover, if the doppelgangers only interact with Elder Bai and others, it wouldn’t involve too much causality.

Upon hearing this from the World Honored, Wu Nengsheng’s expression changed dramatically, panic surged in his heart.

If the World Honored employed all his doppelgangers, then killing him this time became inevitable?

Is he the chicken in a warning to the monkeys?

Has Wu Nengsheng become that chicken?
