Chapter 1354 Heading to the Eastern Region to See Qiao Qiumeng
In the eyes of the villagers of Xinghua Village, the old man of the Gu family was already at the limit of speed, like a flash of lightning, disappearing in an instant and covering hundreds of meters in a second, making it impossible for him to be caught.
But as it turned out, they were proven wrong once again.
Chen Yang's figure vanished from his spot in an instant, and with a few flashes in mid-air, he appeared behind Gu Zhenting, revealing a golden figure.
One man, one fist, striking across the sky, like a war god descending to earth, invincible.
The terrifying force of the punch even pierced through the sky, creating a miniature black hole.
"No! You little beast, you can't kill me! I am the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect!"
"Senior brother, save me!"
"I know I was wrong, I don't want to die! Please come and save me. I swear I will follow your lead and obey your every word from now on."
……
Gu Zhenting begged for mercy, even pleading with his senior brother, but Chen Yang ignored him and punched him hard in the back.
The senior brother he had begged for mercy did not appear.
Click!
Pfft!
With this punch, Gu Zhenting's chest was pierced, revealing a bloody hole the size of a bowl.
Centered on this blood hole, countless cracks appeared all around Gu Zhenting's body.
In an instant, the cracks spread all over his body.
"I'm not reconciled!"
Finally, amidst a roar of unwillingness, the old master of the Gu family was torn to pieces. His physical body, golden core, and soul were all shattered by Chen Yang's punch, turning to ashes in a naked and utterly destroyed.
At that moment, the entire place fell silent; all the villagers of Xinghua Village were too nervous to speak.
They were shocked by Chen Yang's power, and even more afraid of it.
One of them had just said something unpleasant, and they were now terrified, fearing that Chen Yang would pick a fight with them and retaliate.
The more powerful a cultivator is, the stronger their killing intent; they kill without blinking an eye.
By this time, the battle on the Void Beast's side had already ended, leaving behind a ground littered with corpses, blood, mud, and broken bones. It had even eaten quite a bit, its belly bulging.
"That's good. With the old master and patriarch of the Gu family dead, no one should bother Xinghua Village anymore. From now on, Xinghua Village can finally live a good life," a villager said with great emotion.
The bandits of Kowloon Walled Village have always been a huge burden on Xinghua Village.
Now that the mountain is gone, the villagers of Xinghua Village feel a great sense of relief.
"Live a good life? You wish. The old master of the Gu family is not just the old master of the Gu family, but also the Grand Elder of the Heavenly Thunder Sect. He died in my Xinghua Village, do you think the Heavenly Thunder Sect will let it go? It's possible that the Heavenly Thunder Sect will come to my Xinghua Village and massacre the village the moment this Immortal Master Chen leaves." A villager said.
Immediately, the entire village was filled with fear again, feeling as if the mountain pressing down on them had not only not moved, but had become even heavier.
Just then, Chen Yang shouted, "Now that you've arrived, aren't you coming out? Or are you planning to ambush me from behind while I'm not paying attention?"
Awooo!
As Chen Yang finished speaking, the Void Beast roared at a dense forest, its voice deafening and the powerful sound waves causing leaves to fall like autumn leaves being swept away by the wind.
"Hehehe, nothing escapes the little fairy master's eyes."
Amidst the laughter, an old man indeed emerged from a dense forest. His hair and beard were all white, and he wore a gray robe, exuding an air of otherworldly elegance.
"Sun Tianlei, Sect Master of the Thunderclap Sect, greets Little Immortal Master."
The visitor introduced himself, his face was very kind, and he was very polite to Chen Yang.
He was none other than Sun Tianlei, the sect leader of the Thunderclap Sect and Gu Zhenting's senior brother.
No wonder Gu Zhenting called out to his senior brother to save him; it turns out he already knew that his senior brother, Sun Tianlei, was nearby.
The villagers of Peach Blossom Village were stunned once again, feeling as if they were in a dream.
To them, a big shot like Sun Tianlei was like a god, someone they couldn't just meet whenever they wanted.
"You're the senior brother that Old Man Gu was talking about? Why didn't you make a move just now?" Chen Yang coldly glanced at Sun Tianlei and asked.
“The Gu family colluded with the bandits, committing numerous heinous acts. My junior brother knew this but did nothing to stop them, thus aiding and abetting their evil. Now that you have killed him, he deserves it,” Sun Tianlei said.
Although he was heartbroken, he had no intention of avenging his junior brother.
Of course, having witnessed Chen Yang's skills, even if he wanted revenge, he might not be able to.
He was only slightly stronger than his junior brother, Gu Zhenting.
The two brothers have been engaged in a constant rivalry, both openly and covertly.
Junior brother Gu Zhenting is very ambitious and has always wanted to replace him.
In Thunder City, the Gu family considered themselves the number one family, causing chaos and disorder in the city.
With the Gu family, three generations of them, all dead, Sun Tianlei was overjoyed. Not only would he not seek revenge against Chen Yang, but he would actually thank him. Because now his position as sect leader would be secure.
"Since you're not going to take revenge, then get lost. Also, from now on, Xinghua Village is under my protection, Chen. If anything goes wrong, I will hold your Tianlei Sect accountable," Chen Yang threatened.
He didn't even take the sect leader of the Thunder God Sect seriously.
Sun Tianlei's face stiffened instantly. This brat in front of him didn't give him any face at all, telling him to get lost directly, showing no respect for his elder.
He was, after all, a Golden Core cultivator and the sect leader of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, holding a high position and wielding great power, with a profound cultivation level.
Although he was somewhat displeased, he held back his anger.
Having witnessed his junior brother being beaten to death, he dared not risk his life.
Especially since there was a ferocious beast standing next to Chen Yang, whose species he didn't know, which made him feel terrified.
“You can rest assured about that, Immortal Master Chen. I can guarantee that from now on, there will be no more bandit groups on the territory of my Heavenly Thunder Sect. My Heavenly Thunder Sect will also protect Xinghua Village. If I remember correctly, one of my true disciples, Zhang Xiaoyue, is from Xinghua Village,” Sun Tianlei said with an embarrassed smile.
"Yes, yes, Zhang Xiaoyue is from our Xinghua Village."
"Xiaoyue is already a true disciple? That's amazing."
"Xiaoyue is the pride of our Xinghua Village."
"I've heard that a true disciple can invite someone to join the Thunderclap Sect, even if that person has mediocre talent. I wonder who Zhang Xiaoyue will choose."
"Nonsense, it must be Xiao Xing'er. They're very close sisters."
……
When Sun Tianlei mentioned Zhang Xiaoyue, the whole village became excited.
Because Zhang Xiaoyue is the hope and pride of the whole village.
"Two days ago, Xiaoyue returned to the village and took a little girl named Zhang Xing'er with her to join the Tianlei Sect. Didn't you know?" Sun Tianlei asked the villagers, stunned.
"Zhang Xing'er?"
Instantly, everyone in the village turned their gaze to Zhang Dashan and his wife.
"Yes, yes, that's true."
The couple felt embarrassed by the stares.
They haven't revealed the news yet because they're afraid the villagers will be jealous.
Now, in front of Chen Yang, they felt even more ashamed.
Because Xiao Xing'er had already become Chen Yang's disciple, but now she has joined the Heavenly Thunder Sect, it shows that the Zhang family has broken their promise.
Chen Yang frowned slightly, but quickly relaxed.
Xiao Xing'er joined the Thunder God Sect, which is good, because he simply doesn't have time to take care of her right now. He has a lot of things to do, such as visiting Qiao Qiumeng at the Ice and Snow Temple and preparing for the upcoming Spirit Ruins Trial.
The Lingxu Trial will last for a full two years.
If he can successfully pass the trial and attain the highest-grade Golden Core, he will have the qualifications to challenge the Kunlun Immortal Sect.
By then, he could easily establish a branch of the Xuanhuang Daoist sect within the Kunlun Immortal Sect.
In this way, a stable place of practice will be established, and it will not be too late to take Xiao Xing'er as a disciple.
In short, everything happens for a reason.
"Master Chen, I'm sorry. I'm sorry too..." Zhang Dashan apologized to Chen Yang.
"Alright, Brother Zhang, no need to say anything more, I understand. It's a good thing that Xiao Xing'er has temporarily joined the Heavenly Thunder Sect, because I'm quite busy right now and simply don't have time to take care of her," Chen Yang said, speaking the truth to reassure Zhang Dashan.
Then, Chen Yang said to Sun Tianlei, "Sect Master Sun, now that Xiao Xing'er has joined your Tianlei Sect, I hope your Tianlei Sect will treat her well. If she suffers any mishap or injustice, I will hold your Tianlei Sect accountable."
The Heavenly Thunder Sect couldn't even detect Xiao Xing'er's spiritual roots, let alone teach her any cultivation methods.
If Chen Yang wants to unlock Xiao Xing'er's potential, he still has to rely on himself.
Sun Tianlei was stunned. He had seen Xiao Xing'er before. Zhang Xiaoyue had just brought her into the Tianlei Sect and then went to see him. He observed her and found her to be unremarkable, with mixed spiritual roots and trash talent.
Normally, someone with such mixed spiritual roots wouldn't even be qualified to be a menial disciple.
Out of respect for Zhang Xiaoyue, Sun Tianlei gave her the treatment of a menial disciple, letting her look after the spirit herb garden of the Thunder Sect. Her daily work consisted of watering flowers and tending to grass, so she wouldn't have to suffer too much hardship.
Hearing Chen Yang say this and how much he valued Zhang Xing'er, Sun Tianlei felt that it wouldn't be a bad idea to promote Zhang Xing'er to an outer disciple and teach her some cultivation methods.
Unexpectedly, Chen Yang said, "No need. I think the handyman disciple is fine. Just let him water the flowers and tend the grass every day. Nothing else is his business. Your Heavenly Thunder Sect is not qualified to teach her cultivation. I will come back in two years and take her away."
Chen Yang's words shocked everyone present.
Sect Leader Sun wants to give Xiao Xing'er the treatment of an outer disciple. You're not Xiao Xing'er's parents, so what right do you have to disagree?
They even said that the Heavenly Thunder Sect was not qualified to teach Xiao Xing'er how to cultivate immortality, which sounded like an insult.
Sun Tianlei listened, and even he felt a little green with envy.
However, when Chen Yang took out the Heavenly Thunder Token, the most treasured artifact of the Heavenly Thunder Sect, and returned it to Sun Tianlei, the old man immediately beamed with joy.
The reason he showed up and lingered in front of Chen Yang was for this Heavenly Thunder Token.
With this Heavenly Thunder Token, he can more firmly hold onto his position as the sect leader of the Heavenly Thunder Sect.
Upon returning, I must thoroughly purge any dissident forces and the remnants of the Gu family.
This Heavenly Thunder Token is of little use to Chen Yang; the lightning he casually unleashes is probably no match for the Heavenly Thunder Token.
Having said what needed to be said and explained everything that needed to be explained, Chen Yang, after inquiring about the general location of the Ice and Snow Temple, rode his Void Divine Beast and departed for the Ice and Snow Temple to find Qiao Qiumeng.
In this strange world, Chen Yang found a relative who warmed his heart and made him realize that he was not alone.
However, before setting off, Chen Yang returned to the valley where he had previously secluded himself and brought the Changbai Mountain ginseng with him.
Because no matter how good the outside environment is, it can't compare to the Spirit Ruins!
During the Lingxu Trial, Chen Yang wanted to bring the Changbai Mountain Ginseng with him.
Because the Spirit Ruins contain the spiritual roots of heaven and earth, and the ginseng from Changbai Mountain is itself transformed from the spiritual roots of heaven and earth.
Upon hearing that they could see the spiritual roots of Kunlun Immortal Sect, the old ginseng from Changbai Mountain was also very excited.
It felt like seeing a long-lost relative.
The area where the Thunder God Sect is located is the Southern Region of Immortal Sects, mainly composed of the Nine Li Divine Sect, while the Ice and Snow Divine Palace is located in the Eastern Region, mainly composed of the Shu Mountain Sword Sect. These are two different major regions, and there is indeed some distance between them.
Chen Yang didn't know how big the Kunlun Immortal Sect was, but his divine sense couldn't reach its end, so it must be quite large.
It should be noted that the Kunlun Immortal Sect intercepted a portion of a great star from the Central Plains from countless ages ago and incorporated it into their formation.
The ancient planet Central Earth, ten or even dozens of times larger than Earth today, was comparable in size to Uranus and Neptune.
Therefore, it is understandable that the Kunlun Immortal Sect is so large. It is not a blessed land or a secret realm, but should truly be called a minor world.
Although the Void Beasts do not have wings, they can not only fly, but fly extremely fast.
Unlike other birds that propel themselves forward by flapping their wings, the Void Beast directly harnesses the laws of the void. If it weren't carrying Chen Yang, it could even traverse the void, disappearing in the blink of an eye and reappearing thousands of meters away.
Chen Yang sat cross-legged on the back of the Void Beast, looking down at the vast landscape. Everywhere he looked, there were towering mountains and deep valleys. The mountains stretched endlessly, one after another, countless in number, much like the legendary Hundred Thousand Mountains of ancient China.
Many mountain peaks are covered in snow year-round, a pristine white landscape.
Mount Everest in the secular world is nothing compared to this. There are mountains over 10,000 meters high everywhere, and some even reach an astonishing height of 20,000 to 30,000 meters, truly deserving the title of king of mountains and emperor of peaks.
This is the landscape of Earth from countless ages ago, and cannot be viewed with our modern perspective.
Besides the towering mountains, many of the ancient trees here are also frighteningly tall, with trees reaching two or three hundred meters in height everywhere. Their lush foliage acts like a giant parasol, capable of shading an entire mountain.
If Chen Yang hadn't known that the immortal sect's spiritual root was in the Spirit Ruins Secret Realm, he would have thought these large trees were small branches of the spiritual root.
Whenever he encounters beautiful mountains and rivers, or snow-capped peaks and glaciers, Chen Yang would pause for a moment to search for a few old medicinal herbs or other rare and precious herbs.
