Even though Luo Ying was the daughter of Luo Yang, it didn’t mean she could meet her father whenever she wished. As the Sect Master, Luo Yang had his own responsibilities and many matters to attend to.After their previous meeting, Luo Ying was finally able to see her father again at their usual place—the peak of Sky Pillar Mountain.“So, how did it go, Ying’er? Were you able to bring Tian Zhu into the sect?” Luo Yang asked casually while sipping his tea.“He refused and chose to remain in the branch sect, so I didn’t force him to come,” Luo Ying replied with a soft sigh.“Interesting. He doesn’t seem like someone who seeks resources or fame. Most likely, he has his own plans,” Luo Yang said. This was the first time he had heard of a branch disciple refusing to join the main sect.“If Junior Tian Zhu were chasing fame, I’m sure his name would already be widely known by now,” Luo Ying said, showing no doubt in Tian Zhu’s potential.“Yes, considering he was able to create the Snow Godde

“It hasn’t even been a month, yet you’ve already broken through to the late stage. Truly impressive,” Luo Ying replied to Tian Zhu’s greeting.“But I’m still far behind compared to you, Senior. I still need to work harder.”“Your cultivation is indeed fast, Brother Tian Zhu. I can’t help but feel a little envious,” Xie Dao Yun said with a smile.“Let’s go inside first. We can talk there.”They then walked into Tian Zhu’s residence.“Where is Sister Yun Zhi? I heard she was training with Master,” Ling Yin asked, puzzled when she didn’t see Yun Zhi anywhere.“Yun Zhi is bathing inside.”The moment Tian Zhu said that, he felt the three girls staring at him sharply.“If you want to bathe as well, you can join little sister Yun Zhi,” Tian Zhu said, pretending not to notice their gazes. “And don’t hesitate to invite me to bathe with you.”The three girls reacted differently—Ling Yin rolled her eyes, Xie Dao Yun gave an awkward smile, while Luo Ying remained silent with an expressionless fac

Upon returning from the Earth God Sect, Luo Ying immediately reported Elder Xing’s actions to the First Elder, who was in charge of enforcing the sect’s laws.“This is utterly disgraceful. Because his grandson lost to a mere disciple from a branch sect, instead of disciplining him, he resorted to such underhanded methods for revenge.” The First Elder, commonly addressed as Elder Meng, was visibly furious after hearing what had happened.As the Law Enforcement Elder, he despised anyone who violated the sect’s rules. No matter who it was—even if the Sect Master himself broke the rules—he would uphold justice without exception.“So what will Elder do to Elder Xing? In my opinion, his actions have gone far beyond the limit.” Luo Ying did not want such an incident to happen again.“Manipulating a core disciple of a branch sect to carry out a massacre of tens of thousands of inner disciples—if not for sheer luck, all of them would have perished. He has committed a grave offense, and even in

“That’s right, I think the same. And if Elder Xing was aware of our conflict, then it’s likely he did the same thing to the other three branch sects—except for the Earth God Sect,” Elder Heng responded. “So what should we do, Sect Master? Should we return the excess resources?”Elder Heng felt somewhat uneasy. If this matter were exposed, Elder Meng might accuse them of being accomplices of Elder Xing, and their sect could be destroyed as a result.“Why would we return it? Even if Elder Meng accuses us, we still have an alibi to deny it. Our sect was already in conflict with the Earth God Sect long before Elder Xing developed his grudge. Besides, Elder Xing has never once visited our sect—he considers branch sects to be filthy places—so any accusation would fall apart.” The Sect Master of the Fire God Sect, Chong Ba, had no intention of giving up what was already in his hands.“For now, we will simply enjoy these resources. If the main sect decides to reclaim them, we’ll just return t

“I sympathize with you. I can see that you have the potential to become a great being like your ancestors, but your potential is being restricted by the sect’s elders. It’s truly a pity.” Tian Zhu let out another sigh.“Really? I have that kind of potential?” the Moon Lion asked eagerly.“Of course you do. My eyes have never been wrong when it comes to judging potential. If you wish to leave these mountains, see the outside world, and fully develop your potential, I can actually help you.”“Are you serious, human?” The Moon Lion stepped closer to Tian Zhu. Its towering body forced it to lower its head until its face was very close to his.“Have I ever lied to you? I told you before that you could evolve using the technique I gave you—and now you’ve truly evolved.” Tian Zhu seemed to conveniently forget how he had once tricked the Moon Lion into giving him many resources belonging to the other mountain rulers.“You’re right. Then how do we do it?” The Moon Lion was now interested in re
