Chapter 519: Chapter 364: Golden Core Master Zhong, the Silent Qingfeng

The atmosphere was somewhat tense.

The Business Alliance’s True Master in the sky had faintly revealed his form, as he saw the rising momentum from Zhong Heng’s body.

"Originally, whatever you all did was none of my business."

"I am just an ordinary Array Master, not skilled in combat, only wishing to explore the great way of arrays."

Zhong Heng smiled, showing his white teeth, his eyes lowered, looking toward the earth.

At this moment, on the ground, Zhao Wen, in tattered clothes, was being supported by a woman in tight clothing.

Lin Wui’s eyes reflected Zhong Heng, and the Zhao Wen she was supporting had already fainted.

In the weapon box behind Lin Wui, the blood on the swords and knives had not yet been wiped away.

Beside Lin Wui were several hooded figures who lifted their hoods, and the one leading was surprisingly the Great Xia Heaven and Earth Mage, Qiu Yi, who had been transferred away by the Business Alliance.

At the critical moment of Zhong Heng’s breakthrough, he naturally had to prepare thoroughly.

Lin Wui indeed went out to broaden her experience, but she returned early. In the new Secret Realm World where Qiuxu was, he was the only Golden Core True Master; if he wanted to leave, no one could stop him, and no one could even know.

Manager Li followed Zhong Heng’s gaze, his face changing color drastically and turning pale.

"What are those people doing! How did they find Zhao Wen."

"Wait, isn’t that Lin Wui?! Wasn’t she out training, and Qiu Yi, wasn’t he already transferred by the Business Alliance to develop the new Secret Realm!?"

Manager Li cursed inwardly, cold sweat appearing on his forehead.

"It seems you know about this matter."

Zhong Heng’s cold voice came to his ear, and the next second, Manager Li’s consciousness fell into eternal darkness, his body stiffened, and he fell to the ground.

His Divine Sense had been obliterated by Zhong Heng.

A terrifying Divine Sense surrounded Zhong Heng.

With his cultivation breakthrough, he seemed to access more parts of the River Map Illusion, along with a rapid eruption of Divine Sense that had accumulated over time, now close to the level of a Late-Stage Golden Core.

"Zhong Heng, how dare you!"

Like thunder in fury, a roar came from the sky.

It was the True Master of the Business Alliance, and the dead manager was his confidant whom he had personally nurtured.

Zhong Heng had killed him like this, undoubtedly slapping his face in public.

"You are from the Business Alliance; I won’t bother with you."

Zhong Heng said quietly.

He waved his hand.

The Three Clouds Spirit Array, which was firmly in the control of the Business Alliance, automatically activated.

"Array, rotate!"

At this moment, the massive formation in Zhong Heng’s hand transformed like a clever toy.

The surrounding Spiritual Qi poured into the Three Clouds Spirit Array. 𝙛𝒓𝒆𝙚𝒘𝒆𝓫𝙣𝓸𝙫𝓮𝒍.𝒄𝒐𝓶

"Water, fire, wood, Three Clouds Three Talents Formation, suppress!"

The Three Clouds Spirit Array, which hadn’t changed for a hundred years, unexpectedly showed an entirely new transformation, exquisitely transforming into another form.

The Tier Four array was now infinitely close to the power of a Tier Five array.

The forces of water, fire, and wood connected with each other, tightly suppressing that True Master of the Business Alliance.

It didn’t even require Qiu Yi’s help.

"Master Zhong!"

"Elder Zhong!"

Some array masters, witnessing such a subtle transformation, couldn’t help but have their eyes light up.

Everyone else was stunned in place.

Just having broken through to the Golden Core and then suppressing a veteran True Master?

Who would believe it if told?

Zhong Heng waved his hand, and a small sword array appeared beside him, with a flash of Wandering Dragon Sword Aura piercing unobstructed into the chest bone of that Business Alliance True Master.

"For the sake of the Business Alliance, I will not take your life, consider this a light punishment."

At this moment, it was as if Zhong Heng himself was a veteran True Master, the difference in strength was evident at a glance.

The Independent Cultivator Alliance’s True Master’s expression changed slightly.

Zhong Heng said to him, "I would ask for your favor, fellow Daoist."

"What?"

"Join in the assistance."

"The Qu Hong Cultivation Realm is the realm of us Qu Hong cultivators; how can we let outsiders take its resources?"

Zhong Heng smiled and transformed into a stream of light, escaping.

Qiuxu hurriedly followed.

The Independent Cultivator Alliance’s True Master’s expression changed several times.

They were already aware of the deeds of Demon Heaven Valley; before, they even signed a non-aggression treaty with Demon Heaven Valley.

After all, with the Nine Sects gone, their Independent Cultivator Alliance could also gain more.

But now...

Remembering Zhong Heng’s former reputation and his background, he gritted his teeth and followed...

Only numerous Foundation Establishment and Qi Refining cultivators, and that Business Alliance True Master still being tightly suppressed and wailing by the array, were left on the scene.

Divine Strategy Pavilion was the first to react.

"Follow Master Zhong!"

There were quite a few loose cultivators who reacted.

"Follow the True Master!"

A vast army set out spontaneously.

More and more people followed along, and even cultivators who initially didn’t want to contribute were infected by this emotion and went along...

...

"Ah!!!"

"You all actually practice such evil techniques!"

The wailing sounds mixed with roars rang out.

Elder Qingfeng of Qingfeng Valley stared wide-eyed at a Golden Core strongman nearly three meters tall.

In his hand was Elder Qingfeng’s junior disciple, a Golden Core Master of Qingfeng Valley, and at this moment, this Golden Core Master’s Golden Core was actually dug out rudely.

The Golden Core strongman swallowed the Golden Core whole, his sharp teeth masticating the core.

He snarled, "Old thing, don’t rush, soon it’ll be your turn."

"If we were still at our peak, you definitely wouldn’t be our opponents!"

Beside them, a True Master roared.

Next to Elder Qingfeng were two True Masters.

Including Sunx Yue.

This was the last top-tier force of the two sects.

As for the two other sects standing with Qingfeng Wandering Dragon, they no longer had Golden Core Masters.

Now perhaps only Shallow Cloud Mountain remains relatively intact among the Nine Sects, but only Sunx Yue knows that the old master struck a fierce blow that day, taking down the ancestor of Shallow Cloud Mountain; now Shallow Cloud Mountain is strong on the outside but weak on the inside.

Once ruling the Qu Hong Cultivation Realm, the lofty Nine Sects, now only have this force remaining.

"The Seven Cultivators of Demon Heaven, I remember it was the Nine Cultivators of Demon Heaven."

"Defeated in the Qiuxu Cultivation Realm, they come to Tantrum in my Qu Hong Cultivation Realm."

Elder Qingfeng’s teeth gnashed.

That Golden Core strongman seemed to have hit a sore spot, his face gradually grew unsightly.

"I want this old thing’s Golden Core."

Beside the Golden Core strongman, two more figures appeared, of differing stature and appearance, two more of the Seven Cultivators of Demon Heaven.

The Golden Core strongman charged forward.

The Seven Cultivators of Demon Heaven, though numbering only seven, each had at least mid-stage Golden Core cultivation, with their leader even at late-stage Golden Core cultivation.

This Qu Hong Cultivation Realm doesn’t even have late-stage Golden Core cultivators; if it weren’t for their numbers, they would have crushed Qu Hong Cultivation Realm long ago.

But it doesn’t matter, with decades of planning, the Seven Cultivators of Demon Heaven can still defeat the Nine Sects and rule Qu Hong Cultivation Realm.

With the provision from a medium-sized cultivation realm, one of them might even return to Qiuxu Cultivation Realm for revenge!

The Golden Core strongman charged forward.

A massive wave of True Essence surged from his body, vast and mighty.

Sunx Yue’s expression shifted slightly.

The Seven Cultivators of Demon Heaven practiced all evil techniques.

They even practiced the Swallowing Pill Skill.

Within the Golden Core is ninety percent of a True Master’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit, the core of a True Master.

But people’s Essence, Qi, and Spirit differ from person to person; by common logic, it’s impossible to plunder another’s Golden Core, yet once an evil path master created the Swallowing Pill Technique.

It allows the rapid growth of cultivation by devouring the Golden Core of fellow cultivators.

Central State once swept up in a bloodbath because of this.

But later, it was discovered that cultivators who practiced the Swallowing Pill Skill generally couldn’t break through to Nascent Soul, and with Golden Core cultivators’ mutual slaughter being devastating to the cultivation civilization, many Nascent Soul Ancestors stepped in to suppress, causing such evil techniques to mostly vanish.

Even if someone obtained it, few cultivators practice such a path-ending technique.

Yet cultivators practicing the Swallowing Pill Skill not only grow their cultivation fast but their True Essence is extraordinarily thick, far exceeding ordinary people.

Elder Qingfeng’s expression suddenly turned calm, the Golden Core strongman rapidly enlarged in his pupils.

"Qingfeng! Silent!"

The world suddenly lost its sound.

Time seemed to freeze as a wisp of gentle breeze passed.

The Golden Core strongman, like a dandelion, lightly floated off from his body.

Leaving only a body spraying blood in place.

A mid-stage Golden Core True Master was killed instantly like this!?

Elder Qingfeng’s face was rosy.

He calmly looked at the other two.

"Madman!"

Fear showed on the faces of the Golden Core strongman’s companions as they each used escape techniques to retreat abruptly.

"You two, don’t leave..."

Elder Qingfeng whispered quietly, his hands forming seals.

Cracks already appeared on his Golden Core, but Elder Qingfeng seemed unaware.

The two retreated sharply, fearing being cut down by him.

But the two suddenly halted, smiles appearing on their faces.

A sword light fell from the sky...
