“So, the people from the Earth God Sect have really come. I just didn't expect them to arrive this soon, and to challenge me right away.” Lin Yong smiled faintly.He had never made any move against the Earth God Sect because he wasn't worried about its rapid growth. Even if they eventually challenged an Outer Martial Courtyard Instructor, he had assumed they would target one of the lower-ranked instructors.That was why only the lower-ranked Outer Martial Courtyard Instructors had taken action. To his surprise, however, the Earth God Sect had set its sights on him—the strongest Instructor among the Outer Martial Courtyards.The Earth God Sect's Sect Master must be an arrogant fool who's become far too conceited. If they truly came here to challenge me, then I'll kill their Sect Master. Lin Yong had already decided how he would kill Tian Zhu.“Greetings, Elder Jun.” Lin Yong cupped his fists after arriving before Elder Jun. “May I ask why you've come here with the people from the Earth

"Your reactions and movements are quite fast, but you won't be able to handle this!" Lin Yong leaped backward as he swung his longsword.Tian Zhu noticed the attack, a faint smile appearing on his lips. He simply raised his sword above his head with the blade facing upward.He infused his sword with the Power of Light and the Sword Dao, making it incomparably sharp and durable.Lin Yong's lightning sword struck Tian Zhu's blade. It was obvious that Tian Zhu did not move an inch from his position, while Lin Yong's sword continued pressing downward.However, Tian Zhu's Martial Soul Sword completely sliced through the lightning sword as though it were cutting tofu, generating no impact whatsoever on Tian Zhu despite receiving the attack."What?!" Lin Yong was naturally shocked.He had believed that attack would kill Tian Zhu in a single strike. Even a mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivator would have struggled to withstand it, let alone someone at the early stage like Tian Zhu. Yet, to his di

Tian Zhu appeared to be struggling against Lin Yong, who had created a clone. Although the clone was not as powerful as Lin Yong's original body, its speed was identical to his, making it extremely troublesome.The relentless assault from Lin Yong and his clone forced Tian Zhu into constant defense, leaving him with no opportunity to counterattack."Hahaha! How does it feel now that the tables have turned?! Take this!" Lin Yong kicked Tian Zhu in the stomach before unleashing dozens of lightning swords.Despite being sent flying, Tian Zhu still managed to dodge every single attack flawlessly. Just as he was about to launch a counterattack, Lin Yong's clone immediately rushed at him. Less than a second had passed before Lin Yong rejoined the battle, and Tian Zhu's desperate situation remained completely unchanged."You all still look so calm? I'm starting to think you don't care about your Sect Master's fate rather than believing Tian Zhu will win." Elder Jun could no longer hold back

Only one week later, the construction of the Earth Martial Courtyard was completely finished. All of the construction teams sent by the Heaven God Sect had returned, and now Tian Zhu only needed to establish the new administrative system and regulations for the Earth Martial Courtyard.There was a tremendous amount of work to do. Naturally, he did not handle everything alone. The Elders were there to assist him, while Yun Zhu remained by his side at all times, ready to carry out any order he gave.Once everything had been properly organized, the Earth Martial Courtyard finally began operating as it should. For the time being, however, Tian Zhu did not assign any missions to the disciples. Instead, he instructed them to familiarize themselves with the atmosphere of the sect now that it had become a Martial Courtyard and to study the many new techniques available to them.A month later, the missions were finally opened. The disciples began accepting missions to earn money so they could

The Qiong Forest was quite far from the Heavenly God Sect, requiring a full three days of travel before Zhen Qiong's group finally arrived. However, they did not enter the forest immediately. Instead, Zhen Qiong ordered everyone to stop two kilometers away from the forest to recover the Qi they had expended during the journey and restore themselves to peak condition so they could deal with the dangers inside more effectively.Flying continuously for three days had not drained much of their Qi, so it took everyone less than half an hour to recover completely."Alright, since everyone has fully recovered, let's head in. But before that, I'll divide us into five groups. Each group will advance one kilometer apart from the others. If anyone encounters a spiritual beast, send a signal immediately!"Zhen Qiong's objective in the forest was not only to explore the ancient sect's ruins but also to hunt the mutated spiritual beasts created by the sect's experiments.He quickly divided everyone
