Hao Ren could roughly understand what the Kungtong Sect was thinking... In these few days, Hao Ren and Xie Yujia were busy with exams, followed by a two-day trip to Coral Island. They hadn't entered Mystic Peak for several consecutive days, which made the Kungtong Sect certain that this Zuo Chuanzi wasn't in Medicine King Valley during this period.
Furthermore, they believed that an insignificant fourth-rate sect would never dare to complain to a Core Formation cultivator. In the Fifth Layer of Heaven, Core Formation cultivators simply wouldn’t look at small sects; especially if it was one who frequently stayed in their valley for cultivation. They would definitely not come out just because of a worthless little sect.
In their eyes, this feeling was like a tycoon giving a beggar a copper coin but never caring about the other beggars fighting over that coin.
However...
They were wrong!
Hao Ren wasn't a Core Formation cultivator, nor was he an indifferent person!
A sect built on mountain slopes and covering thousands of acres appeared in their vision.
"That one up ahead is the Kungtong Sect," Wu Yan pointed towards it and said.
The Kungtong Sect had fallen to a second-rate sect in the Fifth Layer of Heaven, but even a dead camel was bigger than a horse. In this layer of heaven, they still occupied a vast mountain range.
However, such an area couldn't be considered large in Hao Ren's eyes—especially compared to the Eastern Sea Dragon Palace which spanned several thousand kilometers. It paled in comparison.
Bang!
Hao Ren suddenly accelerated and directly passed through the Kungtong Sect’s gate. A flash of sword light from his waist sliced the large gate into two pieces!
Pu... Hao Ren's longsword emitted another burst of bright light, cutting off the mountain protection formation about to activate!
He wanted to take a stand for Qingyin Sect but didn't want to expose the Sword Refraction Art. So he randomly chose a decent-grade treasure sword and used the Sword Refraction Art technique, making it incredibly powerful!
The longsword in Hao Ren's hand whipped out a white light several dozen meters long and promptly collapsed the main hall of Kungtong Sect near their gate.
"Sir, your skills are impressive!" Dozens of Core Formation elders rushed from different corners with various treasures aimed at Hao Ren.
Hum!
Hao Ren's sword emitted a loud ringing sound as intense sword intent sprayed out, knocking away the first treasure and sending the first rushing elder flying.
The flying sword under his feet swiftly slid forward, slicing another elder’s back in one stroke.
Intense rage burst forth with the sword intent, sword energy like a sharp needle sent two more rushing elders spitting blood as they flew away!
The sword light from Hao Ren's longsword spread for hundreds of meters and struck halfway up the mountain, turning the mountain path and a side pavilion into fragments!
Wu Yan, who was standing on top of Hao Ren’s longsword, looked at him in surprise. She never expected Hao Ren to be so powerful.
A personal disciple of a grand cultivator at the Nascent Soul stage… The moment she thought about it, she suddenly felt that she was like a frog at the bottom of a well.
“Who are you!”
These dozen Core Formation elders were beaten and fled by Hao Ren but still managed to muster up some dignity as they shouted loudly.
"Medicine King Valley, Illusory Peak!"
Hao Ren spat out six words. A streak of resplendent light was then released from the longsword in his hand.
The lotus pond right before the main hall was also shattered into fragments by it.
Disciples of Kungtong Sect who were close to the entrance fled helter-skelter and clearly had no intention to put up a fight. Their sect’s cohesion was even worse than that of Qingyin Sect!
The tip of Hao Ren's sword released a blinding light, and then a ball of light shot out from its tip, blowing a hole through half the mountain where Kungtong Sect resided.
“Who killed or injured the disciples of Qingyin Sect Come forth!” Hao Ren roared. The entire range of mountains where Kungtong Sect was located could hear his voice clearly.
All those Foundation Establishment-stage disciples of Kungtong Sect were cowering in their respective abodes, not daring to come out. As for the Qi Condensation-stage disciples, they ran out of the sect at top speed on both legs and some even brought along packages that they had prepared beforehand! When a great calamity was about to befall them, everyone thought only of themselves. With such formidable enemies appearing, it was best to flee!
“Who killed the female disciple of Qingyin Sect Come out!” Hao Ren yelled again.
Hao Ren was truly furious this time. He didn’t have much feeling toward those three small sects around Medicine King Valley but had at least been somewhat considerate to them.
The three smaller sects were spread around Medicine King Valley, supporting each other in difficult times and struggling for survival. Xie Yujia would give some of the medicinal pills she diligently refined to them because they were weak and needed help.
However, this Kungtong Sect was seizing by force, even injuring or killing disciples from Qingyin Sect!
Bang!
Hao Ren sent out another sword light that left a two-meter deep trench in the rectangular training ground.
If there were no more reactions, he would destroy Kungtong Sect completely!
After some time of cultivation, Hao Ren understood one thing: If you kept yielding to others, it only encouraged them to be even more arrogant!
The eldao cultivators who had reached the Core Formation stage were surrounding Harken from a distance but did not dare to make any move.
They had never heard of the name "Misty Peak," but Medicine King Valley, located behind Clear Sound Sect and rumored to be where an immensely powerful Core Formation-stage cultivator lived, was another matter!
This young cultivator's formidable strength clearly indicated that he was dispatched by a Core Formation-stage elder to resolve this issue. Given the backing of such a powerhouse, it was only natural for him to act so boldly.
Kongtong Sect had once been very influential, boasting several Core Formation-stage patriarchs, but now they lacked even one such figurehead; their strongest member was merely at the late Core Formation stage, leaving them with no confidence whatsoever!
Wu Yan looked gratefully at Harken and sensed that he was genuinely angered.
She had originally thought that this youth, relying on the support of a Core Formation-stage patriarch, would certainly make a show of authority, focusing merely on intimidating Kongtong Sect rather than protecting Clear Sound Sect.
"Young Sir... Young Sir..."
The headmaster of Kongtong Sect, dressed in golden yellow robes, seeing that the situation was beyond control, hurriedly flew out from behind the mountain. "Please remain calm, Young Sir! Our sect will surely handle this matter!"
Harken paid him no heed but turned to Wu Yan and said, "Point out which ones among these elders entered Clear Sound Sect."
Wu Yan looked at the dozen or so elders and clenched her teeth before raising her delicate hand. "That one, that one, that one, and also this one!"
She had made up her mind; in the Fifth Level of Heaven, small sects being plundered by large ones was a fait accompli, with no hope for redress. If Harken merely issued a stern warning to Kongtong Sect, Clear Sound Sect would surely suffer when they left Medicine King Valley.
But... Wu Yan felt that this young cultivator was different; she was willing to trust him and stake Clear Sound Sect's future on him—should the sect face annihilation in the future, she would atone with her life!
Harken narrowed his eyes as he looked at the four elders Wu Yan pointed out. His long sword suddenly darted forth!
The four elders had also prepared themselves and quickly unleashed their killing moves!
If Harken intended to take their lives, they would fight to the death!
Four shining artifacts flew toward Harken.
However, four beams of light suddenly shot forth from Harken's sword, producing a series of sharp sounds that instantly destroyed all four artifacts!
Harken's longsword could not withstand such intense spiritual energy and snapped in half with a crack.
The residual afterimages of the four sword beams struck each elder's body one by one, piercing their bellies.
Harken still used the Sword Illusion Technique but just varied the application!
He was at the lower tier of the Gèn realm, but the strength he unleashed was that of the middle or even upper tier of the Gèn realm. How could these unstable Foundation Establishment period elders be a match for Hao Ren
The four elders fell one by one from mid-air and suddenly realized their golden cores had been shattered! Without miraculous elixirs, they would have no chance to cultivate again in this life.
Given their status and realm, they would never get such miraculous elixirs. With the path of cultivation cut off, it was as good as death!
The leader of Qiong Tong Sect had a face ashen with dirt. He originally wanted to say some nice words, nonsense, or soft words, return the pilfered medicinal pills, and compensate Qingyin Sect with spirit stones and magic treasures to smooth things over. Even if it meant submitting his sect under this core formation powerhouse, he would not mind.
But he never expected Hao Ren to have no room for negotiation. He suddenly struck out and directly made Qiong Tong Sect lose four Foundation Establishment elders!
The loss of four Foundation Establishment elders… It meant that Hao Ren had instantly reduced the overall strength of Qiong Tong Sect by half.
It also meant that Qiong Tong Sect would soon fall to a third-rate sect. With many low-ranking disciples fleeing and buildings being extensively damaged, it wouldn't be long before they fell into the ranks of fourth-rate sects!
The rumor of how a core formation disciple of a core formation powerhouse from Yaowang Valley had single-handedly exterminated one major sect in five layers would soon spread across those five layers.
"Qingyin Sect, Qixing Sect, and Qionghua Sect: Anyone who wants to bully these three sects will be… executed without mercy!" Hao Ren let out a ruthless statement. He then threw the broken sword in his hand away before riding on his flying sword towards the east.
The broken sword stabbed into a stone tablet beside the main hall, burying itself up to the hilt.
Those remaining eight or nine Foundation Establishment elders stared at each other and looked at Qiong Tong Sect's mess. They all began to have their own thoughts—grabbing some of the medicinal pills Qiong Tong Sect had stolen before going their separate ways!
With their Foundation Establishment realm, they could still mix into a small sect far away and obtain an elder position!
Hao Ren's flying sword left a streak of white light as it returned to the valley entrance of Mysterious Peak in moments.
Liu Yan, the leader of Qingyin Sect, was no longer at the valley entrance. Wu Yan landed on the ground from the flying sword and looked at Hao Ren before hesitating.
Actually, Wu Yan was also a rather pretty girl by appearance.
Hao Ren knew what she was thinking and waved his hand, "Return to your sect; your leader cares about you very much. Heal well and help her develop the Qingyin Sect!"
"I will follow Senior's teachings strictly!" Wu Yan deeply bowed toward Hao Ren with gratitude in her eyes before turning around and leaving.
She admired Hao Ren for his decisive actions but had no romantic feelings towards him.
She knew she was not worthy of this young man and did not want unnecessary emotions to interfere with her cultivation. Since this young cultivator didn't need her as a cauldron, she would return home and cultivate solidly!
Hao Ren looked at her retreating figure, exhaled in relief, then turned around and entered the valley.cond move, third move... sixteenth move!Hao Ren's divine sense continuously spread within the jade slip and managed to see 16 out of 32 moves in an instant!In his surprise, Hao Ren hastily memorized t...
