Among the five Martial Arts Masters, aside from Dragon Lao, the other four are prominent figures from small sects and families, representing the pinnacle of their respective forces.
The reason they chose to cultivate in the Silver Moon Kingdom is simply due to its advantageous location, close to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains, which allows for easier access to the resources needed for cultivation.
This time, they gathered in Qingyang City mainly because they heard that a mysterious Harmony Realm Martial Arts Master was secretly cultivating there, and they wanted to meet him.
As for the so-called challenge of "Fierce Beasts" against Prince Yu's three moves, they initially dismissed it as a joke and did not take it seriously.
However, upon arriving in Qingyang City and hearing some clues from the Loose Cultivators in the city, they were shocked to discover that the Martial Arts Master who repelled Prince Yu with a single move actually used Mountain-Settling Momentum, First Move, Mountain Shaking!
With this revelation, the identity of the mysterious Martial Arts Master became clear. Mountain-Settling Momentum, First Move, Mountain Shaking! is indeed the strongest Secret Technique of the low-profile guardian of the Academy's gate.
Since Gong Laogui is here, it is not hard to guess that their master is also in Qingyang City!
When they first came to this conclusion, everyone was taken aback. Any thoughts of merely meeting him vanished completely; they didn't even have the desire to pay a visit.
People like them, who lean towards the dark side, have always avoided this figure. Who knows if they might inadvertently provoke his wrath? At that point, they would have no tears left to cry.
There was nothing they could do; after all, this big shot has a notoriously eccentric temperament. The turmoil he caused back then still leaves scars in the hearts of major sects today.
Although their original purpose was not achieved, they became interested in the so-called three moves challenge. They thought it was just a farce, but with Gong Laogui involved, it seemed like it was not an ordinary duel.
Little did they expect that what they initially intended as mere entertainment turned into an astonishing battle where Prince Yu actually lost!
More importantly, they saw their opportunity for advancement through Lufan!
Whether it was the powerful inheritance of Secret Techniques or the ability that could trigger calamities, both held a strong allure for them.
Coming from small sects, they understood well how valuable a good inheritance and high-grade Divine Skills or Secret Techniques could be. Even though they had already refined their own "Momentum" and comprehended their own martial path, these inheritances still held significant reference value, allowing them to avoid many detours on their journey.
And then there was the "calamity," a realm only accessible to masters!
Unfortunately, due to the presence of their teacher, no matter how great their desires were, they dared not entertain any ill thoughts.
So when Elder Long suggested raiding the academy, the four reacted strongly; this was truly a path to self-destruction!
However, Elder Long's last statement made the four's eyes light up!
"Is that true? Wait, how could you possibly know the whereabouts of our teacher?"
The four were initially overjoyed but quickly raised questions.
It wasn't that they looked down on Elder Long; he was the most powerful martial master among them, having reached the peak of the third realm of mastery, Harmony Realm. He was indeed incredibly strong.
But compared to their teacher, he was nothing at all.
The supreme grandmaster was someone who could truly shake the universe and push through all obstacles; how could a mere martial master like him hope to uncover such information?
"I naturally have my own sources," Dragon Lao said with a mysterious smile. "Two days ago, our sect leader personally conveyed the news that the gentleman has appeared at the Martial Arts Hall headquarters to discuss the opening of the Holy Land. So, you can rest assured now, right?"
The four fell silent; they believed that Dragon Lao had no reason to deceive them, yet they still felt uncertain in their hearts. After all, in the minds of these older Martial Cultivators, that person's reputation was indeed too great.
The atmosphere became tense for a moment. Dragon Lao did not urge them; he believed they would make a choice that satisfied him.
After a while, the usually quiet Zhu Lao suddenly looked up. "You said you received the news two days ago. That means your Silver Moon Sect knew long before that the gentleman was hiding in Qingyang City?"
The other three also raised their heads. Zhu Lao's words reminded them—had Silver Moon Sect anticipated this long ago?
"I wish it were so," unexpectedly, Dragon Lao revealed a bitter smile upon hearing this. "Unfortunately, that's not the case. If we had known earlier, we wouldn't have ended up in this situation. Our Silver Moon Sect received the news not much earlier than you did; it was only after the city lord's mansion was destroyed and Li Zheng died that someone was sent to investigate this matter and learned of the gentleman's whereabouts."
Dragon Lao spoke the truth; if they had known the gentleman was here, how could Silver Moon Sect have ended up so passive?
"Didn't Li Zheng and the others send you any messages before?"
"Speaking of which, it's infuriating. That fool Li Zheng, with his malicious intentions, had previously offended the gentleman and, fearing that our Silver Moon Sect would blame him, deliberately blocked the information, ultimately leading to this disaster."
Dragon Lao spoke about this matter with gritted teeth, harboring deep resentment. If it weren't for that ant named Li Zheng, how could things have escalated to this point?
However, if it weren't for these events he caused, he wouldn't have come to Qingyang City and encountered his opportunity for a breakthrough.
"When our Silver Moon Sect learned of the gentleman's presence here, conflicts had already arisen; it was too late. You also know the gentleman's personality—until he expresses his stance, we can only refrain from taking any action and watch how things unfold."
"So Prince Yu is actually cannon fodder, a pawn for you to test the Master's attitude?" The smiling Yama suddenly exclaimed with a flash of insight.
"That's quite unfortunate for him; he didn't reveal anything and ended up severely injured."
"Heh heh." Dragon Lao chuckled, neither confirming nor denying.
However, everyone had solidified their thoughts and immediately grew wary of the Silver Moon Sect. Prince Yu had simply refused to join the sect and ended up in such a predicament; who could guarantee that one day they wouldn't set their sights on themselves?
Despite the outwardly righteous demeanor of these major Sects, they were darker than anyone else!
"What do you think, everyone? How have you considered my earlier proposal?"
"Aren't you Silver Moon Sect supposed to be watching from the sidelines? Why are you daring to abduct someone now? That young man clearly has a close relationship with the Master; he might even be his disciple. Aren't you afraid?"
The group exchanged glances, and then the smiling Yama spoke up.
With a sense of caution after realizing the implications, they became increasingly wary of Dragon Lao's proposal.
"This is merely my personal action; Silver Moon Sect has nothing to do with it. I have been trapped in the Harmony Realm for too long, and if I delay any further, I may never have hope of breaking through in this lifetime. It's rare to see a glimmer of opportunity, and I must have that young man!"
Dragon Lao spoke decisively, without a hint of hesitation.
Upon hearing this, the four felt a pang of empathy; they too had been stuck in their respective realms for many years without making any progress.
For them, who were wholeheartedly pursuing immense power, this was an agonizing ordeal!
The world admired the strength of the Martial Arts Master, yet little did they know of his troubles.
Thinking of this, the hesitation in the hearts of the four suddenly solidified.
Since the opportunity was before them, if they continued to hesitate, they might lose this last glimmer of hope.
At worst, they could kidnap the person and immediately flee; with such a vast world, they could easily find a place to hide temporarily. What could the Peerless Grandmaster do? He would be powerless.
Those who became Martial Arts Masters were individuals with iron will; they quickly made their decision.
"Are you sure the gentleman has left Qingyang City?"
"Of course! Would I joke with my own life?"
"Alright, let's do it!"
Dragon Lao smiled.
To avoid any unforeseen complications, that night, they decided to go and kidnap someone, launching a surprise attack on Qingyang Academy!
