Chapter 925 The Last Three Formidable Enemies
"This He Jingsheng does have some vision!"
After leaving the He family, Chen Lin made this comment.
Zhao Mu agreed with this point. On the contrary, his behavior was arrogant and domineering. It was clear that He Jingsheng initially only intended for He Junze to take action.
As for the other He family disciples, they were probably brought in to observe and learn.
As a result, he not only dragged them down with a single sentence, but also slapped each of them, making them lose face and even tarnishing the reputation of the He family.
But He Jingsheng didn't say anything. Even after He Junze lost, he handed over the compensation very decisively, without any hesitation.
"In the end, the Yan family and the He family have no deep-seated hatred. On the contrary, they occasionally cooperate."
Youlan, standing to the side, revealed the real reason: "He Jingsheng clearly doesn't want to offend us to death. After all, what happened before is over, and there's no need for him to go back on his word. A little compensation, although it hurts him a bit, isn't enough to make him renege on his promise."
"On this trip, Zhao Mu, your only real opponent is the Qiu family."
“That’s the Yan family’s mortal enemy. According to the information I’ve gathered, the Qiu family has contributed the most to this matter. This time, we’ll make them bleed a lot.”
There were quite a few people who advised the sect leader to agree, including seven or eight high-ranking members of the sect, but the only one who truly influenced the sect leader was the Qiu family patriarch. The others were merely icing on the cake.
but.....
If a reckoning is truly to be carried out, the sect leader's side must not be spared either.
"Unless the Qiu family sends someone stronger than the younger generation of disciples from the Holy Land, they are doomed to lose."
Zhao Mu's eyes were full of confidence.
"So you were in the Holy Land cultivating during the three years you disappeared."
Youlan suddenly realized.
"Holy place?"
Chen Lin was full of questions; clearly, she knew nothing about it.
"Although your cultivation level is a bit low, it's not a bad idea to let you know some of the secrets of this world."
A person's strength determines what they know, but because Zhao Mu revealed it, Chen Lin learned of the Holy Land's existence ahead of time, so Youlan took the opportunity to explain.
Otherwise, normally, Chen Lin would need to reach the late stage of the Tribulation Transcending Realm or enter a truly high-level position in the sect before she would be qualified to know about the existence of the Holy Land.
"In fact, there are forces on the Kunwu Continent that are even stronger than the top-tier forces. These are the Nine Holy Lands. In addition to the Nine Holy Lands, there are also some hidden families and hidden sects. However, there is no definitive conclusion on the strength of these forces."
"Because they live in seclusion, no one knows their true strength and resources."
"Some might be comparable to the Holy Land, while others might be on par with most of the top-tier forces on the Kunwu Continent."
"..."
After giving a brief explanation, Youlan asked Zhao Mu, "Which holy land did you go to?"
"It is the sacred land of Cangwu, the Old Ancestor Youlan."
"So it's the Cangwu Holy Land. Come to think of it, the Langhuan Secret Realm trial should have just ended. So your cultivation level and strength are due to the benefits you received from the Langhuan Secret Realm. No wonder, no wonder!"
Zhao Mu's eyes widened slightly.
Clearly, Ancestor Youlan's familiarity with the nine holy lands was far greater than he had imagined.
In other words, the strength of Ancestor Youlan is probably...
One's strength determines one's understanding of things; the strength of Ancestor Youlan was clearly underestimated by him.
He might be another contestant about to ascend to immortality.
Those thighs are really thick!
Over the next period of time, accompanied by Ancestor Youlan, Zhao Mu visited them one after another, fighting a total of seventeen matches without a single defeat. Moreover, most of these people were shrewd and capable, and apart from Ancestor Niu Ma of Wangxian Peak, the rest of them readily gave him ample compensation.
As for the Ox and Horse Ancestor, he was unwilling to pay, so the Orchid Ancestor immediately attacked in anger. The two fought fiercely, and after being thoroughly beaten, the Ox and Horse Ancestor became obedient and handed over the compensation. He even received double the amount, which was quite a hefty sum.
At that moment, Zhao Mu finally realized just how powerful Ancestor Youlan really was.
Because that old ancestor was a genuine eighth-level Tribulation Transcending Realm cultivator. After passing another tribulation, he would reach the Great Perfection of the Tribulation Transcending Realm, yet he was still brutally beaten.
He strongly suspected that the subsequent smooth progress was somewhat related to this fight.
Those patriarchs all weighed their own strength and decided it was best to be honest.
They even regretted getting involved in what happened before.
He didn't gain much benefit, and as a result, he was resented by that crazy woman, Youlan.
However, no one could have imagined that Youlan would take a minor Heavenly Gang Realm lackey to heart, let alone lead him to demand answers from everyone.
Of course, that guy named Zhao Mu was really impressive; his own strength was terrifying.
Privately, some people are already saying that Zhao Mu is the second Yan Qingyue.
Most importantly, these two are also Daoist partners.
Sure enough, you can't sleep with two kinds of people under the same blanket; they're both incredibly fierce.
"Zhao Mu is really going to make a name for himself this time."
"Didn't we already become famous once during the Fire God Festival?"
"What's so special about that? Not many people participate in the Fire God Festival, and most of the people in our Hunyuan Taiqing Palace have never even heard of him."
"Indeed, but this time is different. In just one day, he has defeated the disciples of the four extreme realms of each peak, making them afraid to show their faces. It's terrifying!"
"That's nothing. The most important thing is that Ancestor Youlan. It's unheard of for an ancestor to personally go to such lengths to stand up for his juniors. They even fought each other because of it. Ancestor Niu Ma was in a terrible state. His arm was broken."
"It's best to avoid provoking this guy named Zhao Mu in the future. Even without Ancestor Youlan, his strength is terrifying."
"Take it as usual. The reason why Ancestor Youlan was angry this time was because some high-ranking people did something that annoyed her."
"Indeed, as long as we don't bully Zhao Mu, there shouldn't be a big problem."
"..."
Today, the names Zhao Mu, Youlan, and others appear with unusually high frequency throughout the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace.
This battle made Zhao Mu a household name.
However, the upcoming battles only heightened the anticipation of all the disciples, because according to rumors, Patriarch Youlan would be taking Zhao Mu to two more places.
One is the Qiu family, and the other is the main peak of the Hunyuan Taiqing Palace.
The Qiu family currently has two exceptionally outstanding disciples, Qiu Yuan and Qiu Zhi. The former is a body cultivator, and his current cultivation level should be at the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm. He mainly cultivates the earth attribute and has a very high understanding and mastery of the power of the earth.
The latter is a sword cultivator with the cultivation level of the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm. His combat power is unparalleled. He once faced a Broken Gold Ape at the early stage of the eighth rank and finally retreated safely. His strength is unfathomable.
Within the circles of the Four Extreme Realms of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, the two were extremely famous.
As for the main peak of Hunyuan Taiqing Palace, there is a true freak, Lin Yang, who is at the Great Perfection of the Four Extremes Realm. He doesn't have many achievements, except that he once killed a wounded early-stage eighth-order Shadow Leopard on his own.
Yes, kill.
Although it was injured, it was still an early-stage eighth-tier demon beast. It was already quite remarkable that it was able to escape unscathed, yet he still managed to kill it.
This caused quite a stir throughout the entire sect at the time.
Even the sect leader praised the sect for having a worthy successor, and laughter echoed for a long time.
