Grinding Cultivation Toward Martial Saint-Chapter 1262 - 174: Zhi Xuan Mountain Master, Perfection Achieved! (Part 2)

Chapter 1262: Chapter 174: Zhi Xuan Mountain Master, Perfection Achieved! (Part 2)

At this moment.

In the main hall of Middle Finger Peak.

A man with a steady face walked in slowly.

If Zhao Yulong were here, he would immediately recognize that the man with the steady face before him was one of the Peak Masters of Zhi Xuan Mountain.

Zheng Changfeng, having long stepped into the ranks of high-level Grandmasters, was also Fang Yu’s senior brother.

Although they were senior and junior brothers, there were differences in Martial Arts Talent, with the junior brother surpassing the senior in Martial Arts.

"Greetings, Master Li!" Upon seeing Li Sixiang, Zheng Changfeng immediately cupped his hands and saluted.

"Why are you here? Where is your Mountain Master?" Li Sixiang looked at Zheng Changfeng, slightly furrowing his brow, as if displeased.

He had traveled thousands of miles, being a Second Grade Great Grandmaster, as well as the Vice Sect Leader of the Cross Immortal Gate and the Vice Alliance Hierarch of the Yingtian Alliance.

Now, the one from Zhi Xuan Mountain welcoming him was merely a Third Grade Grandmaster, which he considered an outright insult.

Upon hearing the emotions embedded in Li Sixiang’s words and observing the changes in his expression.

Zheng Changfeng immediately cupped his hands, "Alliance Leader Li, please do not take offense. According to the disciples’ message, your visit is related to my junior brother Fang Yu, so it was arranged for me to meet you."

Upon hearing Zheng Changfeng’s change in address and good attitude, Li Sixiang’s expression softened a bit.

"Indeed, my visit is related to your junior brother Fang Yu!"

Upon hearing this.

Zheng Changfeng’s eyes slightly narrowed, feeling uneasy.

Fang Yu had been gone for four or five days already.

Based on his original expectations, by this time Fang Yu should have brought Zhong Ling back to Zhi Xuan Mountain, achieving a significant success.

And with Zhong Ling as a bargaining chip, they could greatly constrain Zhong Yue, and possibly even turn him to their side.

However, instead of his junior brother’s return, it was the arrival of the Cross Immortal Gate’s Vice Sect Leader Li Sixiang.

In an instant.

Thoughts flashed through Zheng Changfeng’s mind, and he respectfully said to Li Sixiang, "Please inform me of my senior brother’s news, Alliance Leader Li."

"Fang Yu is dead!" Li Sixiang stated bluntly.

"Impossible!!" Zheng Changfeng instinctively retorted.

"Do you think I would deceive you?" Li Sixiang looked at Zheng Changfeng and spoke calmly.

"I’m sorry!" Facing the invisible pressure exuding from Li Sixiang, Zheng Changfeng promptly expressed his apologies.

As it is said, one must never insult a Grandmaster, and even more so a Great Grandmaster.

In front of a Second Grade Divine Realm Great Grandmaster, he sensibly bowed his head.

Then, he asked again, "Alliance Leader Li, do you know who is responsible for my junior brother’s death? My junior brother had already entered the realm of top-level Grandmasters!"

"Even in Dongling County, throughout Guangning Prefecture, my junior brother should be able to come and go freely."

Upon hearing this.

Li Sixiang shook his head.

"Jiang Ning!"

"Is it really him?!!" Zheng Changfeng’s eyes instantly narrowed, and his expression became serious.

"Absolutely certain, it is him!" Li Sixiang reaffirmed and added, "People underestimated him! Your junior brother likely underestimated him too!"

Thinking of his arrogant junior brother, Zheng Changfeng’s tone immediately became more somber.

"It must be so!"

"Before leaving, my junior brother showed disdain for that young man!"

"It must be that he underestimated the young man and found himself in an unexpected predicament!"

Seated, Li Sixiang glanced indifferently at Zheng Changfeng.

"Go and invite your Mountain Master here! There are some matters I need to discuss with him!"

Just as Li Sixiang’s voice fell.

A calm voice immediately echoed in the room.

"No need, I am here!"

The voice resonated within the room, causing Zheng Changfeng’s heart to tighten.

The next moment.

Accompanied by a gentle breeze, a man with a handsome face, seemingly just over thirty, instantly appeared in the room.

The man’s long silver robe was adorned with white clouds stitched with silver threads.

"Mountain Master!" Seeing the man, Zheng Changfeng immediately bowed and saluted.

At this moment.

Li Sixiang also promptly stood up.

"Greetings, Master Yun!"

Compared to a moment ago, Li Sixiang’s demeanor became noticeably more respectful.

Because he understood the strength of the Master Yun before him.

Yun Shanhai, who became renowned earlier and possessed greater strength than he, as a Second Grade Great Grandmaster.

Even the Sect Leader of Cross Immortal Gate, when compared to Yun Shanhai, would likely not be his opponent.

Due to this, the existence of Zhi Xuan Mountain consistently prevented Yingtian Alliance from entirely covering the nearby prefectures.

"Master Li, please tell me the specifics!" Yun Shanhai said.

Li Sixiang nodded.

Then replied, "The specifics are unclear! We only learned that after Grandmaster Fang entered the city, he went to the Inspection Office, and then to Jiang Ning’s residence."

"Afterwards, from the direction of the east courtyard of the residence, a light akin to a grand sun, along with a powerful energy fluctuation erupted."

"Since then, Grandmaster Fang Yu has not been seen again!"

Upon hearing Li Sixiang’s words, Yun Shanhai promptly nodded.

"Fang Yu’s death is almost certain!"

Li Sixiang also nodded in deep agreement.

Subsequently, Yun Shanhai glanced at Zheng Changfeng.

"Master Zheng, what are your thoughts on this matter?"

"Please avenge my junior brother, Mountain Master!" Zheng Changfeng immediately requested with a bow.

"Are you suggesting that I go to Dongling City and kill that young Patrol Envoy?" Yun Shanhai asked.

"I wouldn’t dare!" Zheng Changfeng immediately lowered his voice.

Yun Shanhai shook his head.

"Striking at today’s Inspection Office and killing some small fry is one thing! But if I truly attack a County Patrol Envoy, I would be the one to ignite the situation, and then the entire Zhi Xuan Mountain would be overturned because of it."

At this moment.

Li Sixiang also smiled.

"We understand Yun Mountain Master’s concerns!"

"Then why have you come here?" Yun Shanhai looked at Li Sixiang.

"I wish to invite Zhi Xuan Mountain to join in major endeavors!" Li Sixiang replied.

"You want me to join the Yingtian Alliance?" Yun Shanhai retorted.

"Indeed! The situation in the world is about to become chaotic, and amidst the chaos, we must band together. If we do not unite, compared to the major powers, we can only be considered as somewhat larger fish." Li Sixiang said.

"My Zhi Xuan Mountain is not like your Cross Immortal Gate, don’t forget who stands behind me?" Yun Shanhai’s gaze was calm.

"Yun Mountain Master, you know better than I do how many times those behind you can be moved? The relationship between you and them is merely the incense and blood ties left by the Ancestor years ago!" Li Sixiang stated.

Upon hearing.

Yun Shanhai smiled slightly.

"That’s enough, isn’t it?"

"It is indeed enough!" Li Sixiang did not argue.

At that moment.

Yun Shanhai added, "It’s not impossible for me to join your Yingtian Alliance!"

"Cloud Mountain Master, please speak straightforwardly!" Li Sixiang said.

"Avenge Fang Yu for me, and I’ll agree to join the Yingtian Alliance." Yun Shanhai replied.

"You want me to kill Jiang Ning?" Li Sixiang narrowed his eyes slightly.

"Correct!" Yun Shanhai nodded.

Upon hearing this, Li Sixiang fell silent.

The Mountain Master of Zhi Xuan Mountain before him feared the Inspection Office and did not dare to seek revenge, and he was the same.

Although the Thirty-six Prefectures of the Nine Provinces were currently teeming with hidden currents.

No one dared to completely ignite the situation.

Because whoever sticks their neck out will face the wrath of the authorities.

A camel at the point of death is still bigger than a horse.

Moreover, the authorities have not yet weakened.

Additionally, there is no news of the Martial Saint as of now, and his status is unclear.

For someone who has suppressed the world for over eight hundred years, no one wishes to be the one to stick their neck out, to face the wrath of the Martial Saint Mansion, or even the wrath of the Martial Saint himself.

Long silence.

You could hear a pin drop in the room.

Suddenly.

Li Sixiang raised his head and looked at Yun Shanhai.

"Okay!" He nodded heavily.

"Do you have the authority to make this decision?" Yun Shanhai looked at Li Sixiang, with a hint of disbelief in his eyes.

"Before I came, Master Li instructed me that I have full authority to make the decision!" Li Sixiang replied, then added, "However, I need a certain assistance from the Mountain Master."

"What kind of assistance do you need?" Yun Shanhai asked.

"A segment of the Divine Bone that embodies Yun Mountain Master’s Mountain and Sea Realm." Li Sixiang said.

"Alright!" After two breaths, Yun Shanhai nodded.

...

Dongling Mountain Range.

It was noon.

The sun hung high.

Even though it was October, the temperature was still frighteningly high.

The heat radiating from the sun was like flames, scorching the mountain forest.

Bathing in sunlight, Jiang Ning felt exceptionally comfortable.

[...]

As time passed.

The sun slowly shifted westward from overhead.

When a cloud floated over from the horizon and blocked the sunlight.

Jiang Ning slowly opened his eyes.

[Skill]: Summer’s Handbook+ (Perfection 10000/10000)

"Just reached perfection!"

Looking at the progress on the panel, he smirked slightly.

This Cultivation Technique progressed remarkably quickly.

By all measures, it took just four days to fully accumulate progress, reaching the requirement to Break Limit.

That is why he chose this Cultivation Technique as his top priority at this moment.

With ample Source Energy Points, without considering consumption, the grade of the Cultivation Technique is the most crucial aspect.

Moreover, not only is the grade of this Cultivation Technique high, but the efficiency of comprehension is also high.

Then he glanced at the column of Source Energy Points again.
