"Young Master, this, this can't be entirely blamed on the chief."

"Yes...yes, indeed. Chief Xuan Tuer has just recently broken through to the middle level of Nascent Soul, while the Purple Cloud Demon Palace has two well-known masters who surpassed Nascent Soul over two years ago."

"Moreover, nearly thirty people came from the Purple Cloud Demon Palace, giving them a numerical advantage. It's truly difficult to handle them for the moment. To have only lost three people so far is already not easy..."

One of them seemed to sense the growing murderous intent and quickly changed their tune.

"But with the Young Master's arrival, the situation will surely change!"

They all understood the temperament of this Young Master very well. Their minds worked quickly, and the two immediately started to flatter.

"Indeed, Sect Master sent you here to change the current predicament. With one strike, you killed two remnants of the Demon Palace. Now that you're here, the situation is bound to turn around!"

"Exactly, you are the key to changing the situation. If the Young Master could get the chief's assistance, surely the Demon Palace would be utterly defeated!"

These two indeed had quick minds.

Hearing himself being called the one who would completely change the situation, a smile couldn't help but appear on his pale, handsome face.

There's an art to flattering. Only praising someone's strength and heroism can get tiresome, but if you subtly imply they are a hero, hoping they can change the situation and be the key figure, it works every time.

"Not bad, not bad."

Nodding with satisfaction.

While shaking the folding fan in his hand, even though Xuan Yinzi wore long black robes, he couldn't hide the proud demeanor of a descendant from a prestigious family.

"The remnants of the Demon Palace have nothing but their realms; their skills are rather mediocre."

"Just like grandfather said, a rascal is a rascal to the end. Not only did Gu Laodog not teach his skills to his disciples, but not even his grandson learned half of them."

As he walked and chatted, it was clear that he came to this region just for leisure and to prepare for the opportunity at the Phoenix Heavenly Cave in two years.

The two followed behind him, one dragging a barely alive woman along the ground, leaving streaks of blood on the roadside—unsightly.

"Among the third and fourth generation disciples of the entire Demon Palace, only Chen, Gu, and Wei can be considered competent."

"I heard that these three didn't come this time, so naturally, the remaining remnants are nothing in my eyes."

"However, I've come here for another important matter..."

A wicked smile appeared on his face.

"I heard that the half-dead Swordmaster Peak has reopened their mountain gate and even accepted a little bastard?"

This was the real purpose.

No matter which forces heard that Swordmaster Peak had reopened and recruited disciples, they all had the same reaction. Whether it was Cen Yueyue, Ying Ling, or other forces, they were quite curious about the mysterious inheriting disciple.

"Yes, the remnants of Swordmaster Peak have also come to Country Liang. It's said that the little bastard's realm is low, only daring to operate in the south and not daring to participate in the battlefield here."

"Oh? What realm?"

"Early Core Formation. According to the source, the little bastard is named Jiang Feng. Previously unknown, he seemed to be at low Foundation Establishment before entering the mountain. Now, in less than three years, he's at low Core Formation, although just recently, only three months in."

"Good."

His eyes suddenly lit up!

To be honest, few dared to mess with Liu Tangxi. Even his own grandfather was quite afraid of that crazy woman. Whether as Liu Jian or now as Liu Tangxi, she had suppressed Xuanyin Sect for many years.

He completely understood why so many people wanted to join the Swordmaster Peak. Originally, he thought that crazy woman would be more subdued after taking a disciple and keep a lower profile.

But he didn't expect her to still be this audacious?

How dare she send a disciple who just reached early Core Formation to such a volatile battlefield?

The smile on his face slowly transformed into deep thought, and as he folded the fan, he rubbed his chin slightly. His expression revealed some hesitation.

No matter how much Xuanyin Sect despises Purple Cloud Palace, they must acknowledge each other's strength. In terms of training disciples and taming subordinates, Purple Cloud Palace certainly has a unique approach.

"For that vile woman to take a fancy, the talent must not be mediocre."

"In three years, to leap three levels, such talent is commendable even in Xuanyin Sect. Still discovered early, if given a few more years, it might be hard to say."

"However, grandfather sent me here for Xuan Tuer and his group..."

In truth, he didn't know that Jiang Feng had jumped straight to Core Formation in three years from zero foundation. If he knew this, he probably wouldn't have any hesitation in his heart.

"In that case, you two should know the general whereabouts of the little bastard, right? Lead the way."

The sinister smile on his face lingered, paired with his sickly white complexion, making it quite terrifying. However, the two attendants behind him immediately changed their expressions.

They were disciples who had climbed up from the bottom rung, so how could they not see that the Young Master was eager for merit and eager to eliminate Jiang Feng?

So they quickly advised: "Young Master, currently, Chief Xuan Tuzi is struggling with a crowd of our disciples, unable to support them alone."

"That's right, Young Master. Why don't we spend some time first defeating the remnants of the Purple Cloud Demon Palace here, and then, with everyone, capture that..."

Bam!

The other person kicked him silently.

Frantically giving him side glances, this companion knew very well the temperament of such a young master. His fellow traveler was also startled to realize the unpleasant expression on Xuan Yinzi's face, squinting with the folding fan in hand, contemplating something.

After a long pause, he finally spoke.
