In the Fifth Heavenly Layer, sects were scattered like stars. Zhao Yanzǐ wandered around for a few rounds before instructing Xiǎobái to slow down so she could pick some pretty flowers.
Though she was fierce in front of郝仁 (Hao Ren), at heart, she was still a little girl who liked cute things. Seeing the mountain covered with blooming flowers made her happy; she picked them and made small flower crowns to put on Xiǎobái's head.
Xiǎobái helplessly bore the colorful flower crown but didn't dare to shake it off.
"Whose disciple are you, playing around so recklessly" Suddenly, a thunderous voice rang out in the sky.
Zhao Yanzǐ looked up and saw an uncle with a dark face riding on a snow lion staring at her sternly.
“Huh What” Zhao Yanzǐ was stunned for a moment, then felt annoyed. There were no sects around this mountain; why would picking flowers bother him
"Hand over your token!" The dark-faced uncle sat on the snow lion and held out his hand.
Zhao Yanzǐ was even more confused but saw that the cultivator didn't seem weak, so she rode onto Xiǎobái's back, ready to escape at any moment.
Seeing Zhao Yanzǐ's blank expression made this cultivator even angrier. "Which elder’s disciple are you Without investigating thoroughly, how dare you play around privately!"
Zhao Yanzǐ had left home directly today and was wearing a simple pink pajama set, which was very different from the white Taoist robe of this dark-faced cultivator.
"If you don’t answer soon, I’ll take you back for punishment according to sect rules!" The dark-faced cultivator stared at Zhao Yanzǐ and shouted loudly.
The Heavenly Mountain Sect’s issuance of the Heavenly Mountain Order to invite fellow practitioners to investigate the "city sects" in the Fifth Heavenly Layer made all the cultivators here feel anxious.
The Tian Shan Sect itself mobilized over a thousand cultivators to conduct thorough searches in the Fifth Layer Sky. As a result, there are often Tian Shan Sect cultivators appearing in the Fifth Layer Sky, and these sect members may not necessarily know each other. If they meet, they need to report their master's name or use tokens from the sect to identify themselves.
This black-faced cultivator is a disciple of the sect’s Great Elder, having reached the late Core Formation stage, with his seated Snow Lion already at the fourth level; he has considerable standing within the sect. Seeing Zhao Yanzi accompanied by a Snow Lion, he thought she was also a disciple of Tian Shan Sect.
This time, the investigation task set by the Tian Shan Sect is urgent and directly assigned by an esteemed uncle-grandmaster from the sect. However, so far they haven’t found any valuable leads.
Thus, when this senior disciple saw Zhao Yanzi playing around in the Fifth Layer Sky, he immediately became furious.
However, the "female cultivator" in his eyes isn't a junior sister under their same master. Seeing that she also has a Snow Lion, albeit at the third level, he suspects her to be a favored disciple of some uncle-elder and thus dare not reprimand her too harshly.
Among the nearly thousand Tian Shan Sect disciples dispatched this time for large-scale investigations in the Fifth Layer Sky, not everyone is entitled to have a Snow Lion. Only senior-level disciples or favored disciples of various elders get them.
The higher-level ones are naturally the main forces in investigative tasks and act as "small team leaders" guiding junior brothers and sisters; they each have their own fixed Snow Lions. As for the favored disciples of the elders, this is an opportunity for them to train in the Fifth Layer Sky, with a Snow Lion serving as protection.
But even the most pampered disciple should put on some pretense, showing an attitude towards investigation; how could one openly play around on a slope with a Snow Lion!
This black-faced disciple holds almost the status of an elder within the sect, and even those elders would give him some face. Now that he cited the rules, he wouldn’t believe this minor cultivator would confess in shame!
Just when he thought Zhao Yanzi was sure to obediently report her master’s name and admit her mistake… Zing!
Zhao Yanzi on Little White's back suddenly fled!
She didn’t even bother with his scolding, taking advantage of the momentary slack in him and fleeing instantly.
This left this black-faced cultivator momentarily stunned before he became indignant with shame.
He was the favored disciple under the Grand Elder and, since the Grand Elder aimed to breakthrough to the middle-stage Core Formation realm, he took charge of many of the sect’s affairs. Thus, he was almost like a half-elder, and most disciples knew him.
But this young Foundation Establishment stage junior dared to run away!
He firmly believed that Zhao Yanzi was from the Heavenly Mountain Sect, but how would Zhao Yanzi care about what this black-faced uncle was blabbering on about Seeing things turn for the worse, she patted Little White’s head and ran off.
Bang!
The black-faced cultivator rode his own Tier 4 Snow Lion to chase after her crazily.
The Grand Elder was in charge of Heavenly Mountain Sect's rules and regulations, but these recent years he had been handled by this black-faced disciple. Except for the newly entered disciples who hadn’t met him yet, none of them were afraid of him!
Seeing Zhao Yanzi riding a Snow Lion and thinking she might be someone’s favored disciple, he thought it was okay to give her a verbal scolding. But how could she dare run away in front of him
The black-faced cultivator’s face completely lost color; the black sword in his hand also rose.
Whizz… The soles of Little White’s feet drew four streaks of colorful light, and at the speed of a Core Formation realm cultivator, she gradually flew away.
A Tier 4 Snow Lion couldn’t catch up with a Tier 3 Snow Lion!
"Shoot!"
Aside from being surprised, the black-faced cultivator hurriedly threw out his treasure tool.
In another moment, this young cultivator and the Tier 3 Snow Lion would be beyond the range of attack of his treasure tool!
The black sword transformed into a beam of dark light, shooting straight at Zhao Yanzi.
Sitting on Little White's back, Zhao Yanzi turned around to see something flying towards her and immediately picked up the Purple-Green Treasure Sword she wore at her waist. She instantly executed the Tianxuan Sword Technique.
Clang!
The already weakened black sword caused Zhao Yanzi’s hands to ache, nearly shaking her wrist off!
If it weren't for the Purple-Green Treasure Sword's excellent material and the intricate moves of the Beidou Sword Technique, this blow would have knocked Zhao Yanzi down!
The dark-faced cultivator felt a sudden pang of regret as he threw out the black sword. That little girl was only in the middle Foundation Establishment stage, while he himself was at the late Condensation Core stage and almost on the verge of entering Nascent Soul realm. His anger had made him attack recklessly, akin to an adult man delivering a heavy punch to a child, and suddenly worried that his move might have been too strong!
If this proud little girl were the daughter of some elder, even if he was the eldest disciple favored by Elder Yuanshi, injuring her would be problematic!
His heart turned cold. He hurriedly tried to retract the black sword but felt a connection to his mind telling him that the black sword had been severely damaged.
Swoosh… The third-stage snow lion paused slightly before streaking away into the distant clouds and mist, leaving behind dazzling colorful traces of light.
As the black sword returned, the dark-faced cultivator, whose mind was still reeling from shock, carefully examined it and found a small notch in its blade!
All signs pointed to something being wrong.
The dark-faced cultivator thought for a moment before taking out a white jade token. He channeled his spiritual energy into the token and threw it high up into the air.
The white jade token emitted dozens of blinding white beams, shooting off in all directions. watched him without any signs of disliking his smell.Hao Ren looked down at the layer of mud-like dirt on his skin's surface and knew that his constitution had undergone a significant improvement!The...
