"I believe everyone may not recognize the two behind me." Fang Yuan slightly shifted his body to make room for the two elders behind him, introducing them to the crowd in the hall.
"Both of them are Guardian Elders of the Sect, and they usually remain in seclusion, rarely participating in mundane affairs. One is Dongfang Quan, Elder Dongfang, and the other is Zhou Qi, Zhou Elder."
"Greetings, Elder Dongfang, greetings, Zhou Elder..." The Guardian Elders hold a position just below the Sect Master in Xuan Lei Sect. Although they typically do not involve themselves in trivial matters, their power is immense, and each of them possesses remarkable cultivation. Very few dare to offend them.
As everyone cheered, no one noticed that Sun Zhe's eyelids suddenly twitched. He did not expect that the old man in black robes was actually Zhou Qi from the Zhou family, who was also the grandfather of Zhou Hanbin, standing beside him.
"Could it be that he was really watching me just now..." Sun Zhe felt puzzled. Logically speaking, someone like Zhou Qi should not concern himself with conflicts among juniors. Moreover, it was Zhou Yuanxin who had obstructed him back then; he had never taken action against anyone from the Zhou family.
However, when he raised his eyes to look at Zhou Qi, what met his gaze was an extremely deep pair of eyes, resembling a pool of black stagnant water. The entire area seemed to be a swirling vortex of darkness, as if it wanted to draw him in completely. A chilling sensation instantly spread throughout his body, leaving him devoid of any thought.
"Um..." Sun Zhe pinched his thigh with his right hand and immediately awakened from his daze. Looking at Zhou Qi's indifferent gaze, a penetrating chill arose in his heart. He guessed correctly; that dangerous look had indeed come from Zhou Qi—a person of immense danger.
At this moment, Sun Zhe suddenly felt an unprecedented sense of crisis within him. It seemed that his life was no longer in his own hands; as long as Zhou Qi wished, he could take it at any time. Sun Zhe had a premonition that he must have offended the Zhou family in some way he was unaware of, offending this cold and ruthless peak powerhouse.
"...This time we will head to Northern Mang Mountain Range led by Elder Dongfang along with two other Outer Sect Elders."
Under Zhou Qi's icy gaze, Sun Zhe remained tense throughout Fang Yuan's speech and hardly heard anything except for this last sentence. Upon hearing it, he felt a sudden sense of relief; this time it was not Zhou Qi leading the team, and for a while, his life was basically secured.
This time Sun Zhe truly felt a sense of urgency. Since his rebirth, he had only sought to improve his strength to change his status and seek revenge. However, this time his desire for strength reached a peak because he was now fighting for his life. He clearly saw that Zhou Qi had already harbored murderous intent towards him!
"Since you are unkind, don't blame me for being unjust!" Sun Zhe's gaze suddenly shifted sharply to fixate on the smiling Zhou Hanbin, with an unprecedented killing intent surging in his eyes.
Sun Zhe originally planned to return from the Northern Mang Secret Realm to seek justice from the Zhou family, but it seems there is no longer any need for that! In the blink of an eye, Sun Zhe already had a complete plan. As long as everything went smoothly, once he emerged from the Northern Mang Secret Realm, he would no longer have to fear the Zhou family or Zhou Qi.
Under Dongfang Quan's leadership, the group quickly boarded the recently acquired Crimson Blood Flying Python and flew towards the Southern Region of Beifeng City. As a third-tier flying beast, the Crimson Blood Flying Python not only flew at incredible speeds but also provided a remarkably stable ride, making it feel as if they were sitting on solid ground. However, some people showed little interest in the Crimson Blood Flying Python or even felt some trepidation.
In the void, Dongfang Quan and an Outer Sect Elder sat on the back of the Crimson Blood Flying Python with the others. Beside them, on another Crimson Blood Flying Python, sat two individuals: one was a Middle-Aged Woman, one of the two Outer Sect Elders who had come along; the other was a veiled beauty known for her cold and proud demeanor—Zhuang Ruoxuan.
With skin as smooth as jade and a figure that was both ample and graceful, Zhuang Ruoxuan exuded countless captivating qualities even while veiled. She was indeed a stunning beauty; if it weren't for her frosty aura, many suitors would likely be vying for her attention within the Xuan Lei Sect.
Although Zhuang Ruoxuan's fear of snakes and rats was well-known, the Sect's special arrangement to provide her with a flying beast still sparked curiosity among the crowd. Such arrangements were rare, suggesting that Zhuang Ruoxuan's status was certainly not ordinary. With her breathtaking beauty and prominent background, even her cold pride did not deter those who were interested in her, such as Zhou Hanbin, a prominent figure from the Inner Sect.
Sun Zhe glanced at Zhou Hanbin, who was fixated on Zhuang Ruoxuan, then looked at Zhuang Ruoxuan's unchanged expression. A glimmer of cold light flashed in Sun Zhe's eyes.
He had no interest in Zhuang Ruoxuan's identity and did not wish to provoke her; however, Zhou Hanbin had already become his target this time.
"Where exactly is this Northern Mang Mountain Range? How much longer do we have... If I had known it was this far, I wouldn't have come. It would have been much better to enjoy some wine at Xinghua Tower instead; what a waste of precious time..."
Just as everyone closed their eyes to rest, an unpleasant voice suddenly rang out on the back of the Crimson Blood Flying Python. Few dared to speak like that in front of Dongfang Quan, a Guardian Elder, yet here was one such individual.
"Smack!" Amidst everyone's astonished gazes, Dongfang Quan's bony hand struck Zhao Ang on the back of his head with a crisp sound.
"Ouch... Grandpa, why did you hit me..." Zhao Ang exclaimed as he hugged his head in pain.
Grandfather... Everyone looked at each other in surprise, not expecting that the seemingly reckless Zhao Ang was actually the grandson of Dongfang Quan. There was not a single resemblance between the two.
"Hmph, you little brat, instead of practicing well in the evening, you're always thinking about going to those places to fool around. It's all your mother's fault for indulging you. If I were to teach you, with your Qualification, you would have definitely reached the Thunder Master Realm by now. You've almost embarrassed the Old Man with your lack of ambition..." Thinking about his grandson's behavior during the day, Dongfang Quan furrowed his brow and began to scold him. Seeing his grandfather angry for the first time, Zhao Ang showed a hint of embarrassment.
"Elder Dongfang, we have arrived at the Northern Mang Mountain Range." At that moment, the Outer Sect Elder suddenly spoke to Dongfang Quan.
"We're here, we're here, finally here." As soon as Zhao Ang heard the Outer Sect Elder's words, he immediately exclaimed, seemingly eager to change the subject before his grandfather continued.
"Hmph, I'll let you off this time. When you return from the secret realm, just wait and see how I will teach you a lesson... Descend!"
Upon hearing Dongfang Quan's words, Zhao Ang's previously excited expression instantly froze. He immediately put on a pitiful look towards Dongfang Quan, but Dongfang Quan paid no attention to his expression. He patted the head of the Crimson Blood Flying Python and quietly commanded it. The Crimson Blood Flying Python, already intelligent, immediately stopped flying forward and slowly descended with its wings flapping gently.
Hearing the Outer Sect Elder's words, Sun Zhe also looked down and noticed that for dozens of miles around them were continuous mountains. The mountain range undulated like the backs of giants, with trees and grass lush and green, resembling a green ocean. Even a giant beast like the Crimson Blood Flying Python, several meters long, would not stand out in such surroundings.
As the Crimson Blood Flying Python descended, the so-called Northern Mang Mountain Range came into view. In reality, this Northern Mang Mountain Range was just an extremely ordinary mountain range; its highest peak was only a few hundred feet tall. However, no one would expect that such an ordinary mountain range was jointly guarded by six powerful sects!
