Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect.

Dragon Tiger Mountain Gate.

Since Qingwei Dao Miao True Monarch Zhang Guiji returned injured, he had announced the closure of the mountain gate, showing no concern for external affairs.

The entrance grew desolate, with majority of the outer disciples scattered, never to return to the once prestigious status of the leading Support Dragon Sect.

After the cold rain, a rainbow quietly emerged.

Misty water vapor coalesced into a cultivator, donning an azure magic robe with spirited and dynamic eyes, yet seeming to conceal boundless evil.

Standing with his hands behind his back, he nonchalantly walked past the closed Dragon Tiger Mountain Gate.

Whether it was the Mountain Protection Array, the True Disciple engrossed in cultivation at Lie Xing Hall, or the Primordial Pill and Primordial Spirit Elders at True Yang Hall, all turned a blind eye to him, allowing him to proceed uninterrupted to a barren land.

This was the forbidden area of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect—the Taiyin Cave!

"Is fellow Daoist Zhang Guiji here?"

The man with evil eyes called out, his voice clear and crisp.

Rustle rustle!

Sounds of crawling insects suddenly emanated from the Taiyin Cave, countless minute noises gathering together, carrying a hint of great silence, yet more terrifying than any Soundless Divine Thunder.

Even Superpower Disciples would probably be corroded instantly.

"...It's... you!"

An intermittent voice came from the Taiyin Cave, somewhat hesitant, as if just awakening and slightly confused.

"I did not expect fellow Daoist's injuries to be so severe..."

The mysterious man walked straight into the Taiyin Cave and halted in front of the blood-veined gate, "If fellow Daoist trusts this True Monarch, please open the gate to talk."

Whoosh!

The door of blood veins opened without any wind, slowly revealing the scene inside.

In the boundless darkness, it seemed as if a mass of insects were climbing, rolling, stirring wave after wave.

Eyes opened one by one in the darkness, some crazy, some lucid—all fixated on the newcomer.

"Let me aid fellow Daoist with a helping hand."

The mysterious man shouted, blowing a breath in that direction, then reached out and grabbed.

Out of the void, strands of indescribable power were captured, twisting like small black insects.

They burrowed straight into the hands of the mysterious man, causing his form to become slightly scattered.

Inside the Taiyin Cave, the sound of wriggling insects abruptly ceased, and the eyes closed.

From the darkness, a person slowly emerged, his face slightly pale—it was Qingwei Dao Miao True Monarch Zhang Guiji!

He solemnly greeted the visitor with a bow, saying, "Thank you, Dongping Haomiao True Monarch, for lending your aid!"

The visitor turned out to be the Teaching True Monarch of Fangcun Spirit Mountain, one of the three sects of the East Sea!

"Fellow Daoist, no need for such formalities... This vast Dragon Tiger Mountain Gate still requires fellow Daoist's support. Once your injuries have healed, you can reopen the mountain gate..."

Dongping Haomiao True Monarch said with a smile.

Zhang Guiji's face twitched.

He sealed the Dragon Tiger Sect's gates, and himself was grievously injured, nearly losing control and transforming into a monster—that was only one part.

But most importantly, he lost his trump card!

Although all the sect's elders and disciples had forgotten, after returning to the Taiyin Cave to recuperate, and looking at those lingering traces, as well as with the Dao Rhythm and precious treasures of the entire sect for protection, he, with the position of a Dharma Body True Monarch, eventually came to a vague realization. The gates of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect were originally supposed to have one Immortal who had achieved liberation through decomposition...

Otherwise, he would not have gone to the capital of the Clement Kingdom, that unpredictable place, to compete for the unique divinity.

But unfortunately, this time the losses were disastrous, the decomposed Immortal had died, the whereabouts of the unique divinity remained unknown, and even he was severely wounded.

Even though he had already passed the trial of the mind, achieving the peak of the Dharma Body realm, the constant interaction of the Dharma Body with the heavens and earth was like constantly enduring vast amounts of mad pollution.

Once his strength was greatly diminished, and there was a lapse in his spirit, there was the danger of becoming an anomaly of the Dao!

If it weren't for True Monarch Dongping Haomiao lending a hand just now, perhaps he wouldn't even be able to maintain human form to receive guests.

Hearing what this True Monarch had said, knowing that he too had forgotten the existence of the Immortal who achieved liberation through decomposition, his heart grew cold, and he understood the authority of a True God even more.

"My mind is made up, for a hundred years Dragon Tiger Mountain will not open its gates, fellow Daoist, if you have come for mundane matters, I'm afraid you'll be disappointed..."

True Monarch Zhang said indifferently.

"This matter is related to the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect, could it be that fellow Daoist has forgotten the grudge of Young Master Shenxiu seizing the mountain gate?" True Monarch Dongping Haomiao said lightly with a smile.

Crack!

Immediately, the sound of something shattering echoed from within the Taiyin Cave.

True Monarch Dongping Haomiao, as if he had heard nothing, still spoke with ease, "You should know, this person is not only free and unrestrained, he has even been ennobled by the imperial court as Donghua True Monarch... True Monarch, don't you really care about this?"

"I'm afraid you've also lost face for Fangcun Spirit Mountain, especially with the conflict over the dragon capturing matter, else the True Monarch wouldn't have bothered to come in person..." Zhang Guiji's face showed a hint of mocking smile.

"That's exactly right..."

True Monarch Dongping Haomiao sighed, "With just one move he defeated my disciple, causing great shame to Fangcun Spirit Mountain, and even damaged my disciple's Dao Heart, it's truly hateful!"

"Since that's the case, why doesn't fellow Daoist make a move and eliminate that lad?" Zhang Guiji's facial expression deepened, his eyes seemed to see through everything.

"Why would fellow Daoist knowingly ask this?" True Monarch Dongping Haomiao shook his head slightly, "We are all True Monarchs of the imperial court, we have our limits when fighting in private, or else we would be abhorred by the court. Fellow Daoist might not be afraid, but my Fangcun Spirit Mountain is only a minor sect in Central Earth and still needs to look up to others..."

Previously, when Zhong Shenxiu defeated Ji Daoling, he didn't finish him off, and didn't even covet the East Dragon Pot—though there was disdain involved, these considerations were also a reason.

"Moreover... I have this premonition that this kid... is very difficult to kill!" True Monarch Dongping Haomiao stated solemnly.

"I have once crossed hands with this person... his mana and Divine Skills far exceed that of an ordinary Primordial Spirit, and while not as good as ours, he could potentially escape..."

Zhang Guiji said indifferently, "Afterwards, I used the Innate Eight Diagrams to calculate his foundation, only to feel it was unfathomably deep... I did not dare to delve deeper, but I still found that this person has many life-saving Divine Skills, and is very difficult to kill... If we can't take him down in one strike, there will be endless troubles."

"Therefore, I have come to discuss with fellow Daoist a way to bypass the imperial court and make this person commit injustices and thus self-destruct..."

True Monarch Dongping Haomiao declared openly, "When it comes to schemes, who in the world can compare to Qingwei Dao Miao True Monarch?"

Previously, True Monarch Zhang, at Support Dragon Court, single-handedly, on the premise of the two Daoist sects standing by idly, still managed to oppose the six paths of the Demon Sect externally, and suppress the rebellion internally, ultimately succeeding in the sky worship ceremony. Regardless of the outcome, this level of strategy alone was enough to alarm everyone.

And the Innate Eight Diagrams of the Supreme Dragon and Tiger Sect were equally famous for their divination skills throughout the cosmos.

True Monarch Zhang remained silent, not saying a word.

"If fellow Daoist continues to hesitate, allowing this person to achieve the realm of the Dharma Body, I'm afraid from then on he will become very difficult to control. With no Immortal who has achieved liberation through decomposition in the Dragon Tiger Sect, I fear that once fellow Daoist ascends, the Dao lineage will be in jeopardy," True Monarch Dongping Haomiao added.

"Even as an adversary, I must admit that this lad is of extraordinary talent, truly an Immortal seed..."

True Monarch Zhang sighed and said, "And he is bold yet meticulous, never acting without certainty, to lure this person into a trap is difficult, very difficult, very difficult!"

"The two of us joining forces to obscure fate, however, does hold some certainty."

True Monarch Dongping Haomiao, catching the implied meaning in his words, brightened up.
