Chapter 786: Chapter 417: The Disaster of the Ji Family
"What’s going on down there?"
Ji Ziyue’s face was filled with confusion.
Although she had been forcibly taken away by Elder Ji Hong, she was still a disciple of the Supreme Mysterious Sect.
Those people looked aggressive, as if they had come here intentionally to stir up trouble.
"Nangong Zheng, a mighty figure from the Human Clan."
Ji Hong replied.
"Him... a powerful figure like Nangong Zheng, why would he come to the Supreme Mysterious Sect?"
Ji Ziyue asked again.
"What else could it be? It’s all because of that brat Gu Sheng stirring up trouble."
Ji Hong’s tone carried a hint of dissatisfaction.
Upon hearing this, Ji Ziyue immediately realized what was happening.
Previously, Gu Sheng had divulged the matters regarding the Bronze Immortal Palace, causing upheaval within the cultivation world of East Desolation.
Could it be that even this mighty figure of the Human Clan had come for this reason?
"Elder, shouldn’t we help the Supreme Mysterious Sect? After all... I’m still a disciple of the sect."
Ji Ziyue pleaded with a tone of earnestness.
"No, this matter isn’t something we can intervene in."
Ji Hong bluntly rejected Ji Ziyue’s request.
"Elder..."
Ji Ziyue’s face fell, clearly unhappy in her heart.
"Don’t worry, Li Ruoyu will handle everything well."
Ji Hong’s gaze carried a hint of resolve.
After speaking, Ji Hong said nothing further and took Ji Ziyue back to the Ji family.
He knew that the matters of the Supreme Mysterious Sect were too deeply entangled, and it would be better for the Ji family not to get involved.
Meanwhile, at Zhuo Peak within the Supreme Mysterious Sect, Li Ruoyu was meeting with Nangong Zheng.
Nangong Zheng, a mighty figure from the Human Clan.
This man was highly skilled in the arts of flora, enhancing his cultivation by extracting earth’s spiritual energies through vegetation.
This ability had propelled his cultivation to realms unattainable by ordinary cultivators.
His arrival undoubtedly caused immense pressure for the Supreme Mysterious Sect.
"Li Ruoyu, I have come here to find Gu Sheng."
Nangong Zheng stood atop Zhuo Peak, his tone carrying an air of authority.
The impression he gave was akin to issuing a command to Li Ruoyu.
Upon hearing Nangong Zheng’s words, Li Ruoyu revealed a slight smile, seemingly unconcerned about the man’s presence.
"Nangong Zheng, Gu Sheng has already left."
Li Ruoyu casually replied, his tone so calm it was as if he were speaking to an ordinary person.
"What? What did you say? He’s left?"
Nangong Zheng’s expression darkened, and he stared coldly at Li Ruoyu. "Are you playing games with me?"
As his words fell, an overwhelming aura emanated from Nangong Zheng.
His hands slowly rose, hinting at imminent action.
In an instant, the air around them seemed to grow heavy under his influence.
Li Ruoyu’s expression remained tranquil. He gazed at Nangong Zheng and spoke with a faint indifference, "Nangong Zheng, if you wish to make a move here, my Supreme Mysterious Sect won’t shy away."
"Hmph!"
A flicker of surprise flashed in Nangong Zheng’s eyes. He hadn’t expected Li Ruoyu to be so composed.
He had heard of Li Ruoyu’s strength before—if a battle broke out, it would surely shake heaven and earth.
"Li Ruoyu, you had better be telling the truth. Otherwise, Zhuo Peak might cease to exist!"
Nangong Zheng snorted coldly.
"I do not lie."
Li Ruoyu responded, placing one hand upon his chest in a solemn gesture.
"Very well, I’ll trust you for now. Then tell me, where did Gu Sheng go?"
Nangong Zheng pressed on.
"The vast lands surely hold his destination. I’m old now; I can’t control these young ones anymore."
Li Ruoyu spoke as he gazed into the distant scenery.
His gaze turned deep, as though he was reminiscing about something.
"So you’re saying you don’t know?"
Nangong Zheng slightly furrowed his brows, evidently displeased with Li Ruoyu’s answer.
"Suit yourself."
Li Ruoyu avoided giving a direct answer and merely pointed toward the exit of Zhuo Peak.
The meaning was clear—he was escorting Nangong Zheng out.
"You’re asking for trouble!"
With that, Nangong Zheng stirred his Divine Power.
Instantly, the rocks of Zhuo Peak seemed to resonate with Nangong Zheng’s energy.
Almost all living entities began channeling energy toward Nangong Zheng.
The countless particles of energy converged, forming numerous glowing energy swords in an instant.
Li Ruoyu faced the energy swords without a trace of fear.
He sighed slightly, his shoulders rising and falling.
"Nangong Zheng, was this really necessary?"
Li Ruoyu asked.
"Necessary? Are you mocking my integrity?"
With that, Nangong Zheng commanded the energy swords to strike at Li Ruoyu.
Just as Nangong Zheng was about to unleash his attack, several figures rapidly appeared beside Li Ruoyu.
They were Supreme Elders of the Supreme Mysterious Sect, each possessing earth-shattering abilities.
"Nangong Zheng, cease your actions!"
One of the Supreme Elders shouted loudly.
Along with the other elders, he joined forces to summon a shield, blocking Nangong Zheng’s energy swords.
"Clang! Clang! Clang!"
A cacophony of clashes echoed.
The energy swords collided with the shield, dissipating into nothingness, vanishing from sight.
"Nangong Zheng, Gu Sheng truly is no longer within the Supreme Mysterious Sect."
Another Supreme Elder explained.
Nangong Zheng stared at the Supreme Elders before him, quietly weighing his options.
He knew that if he truly fought against the majority of the Supreme Mysterious Sect’s elders, he wouldn’t gain much advantage.
Moreover, it genuinely seemed that Gu Sheng had left the sect.
After considering his options carefully, Nangong Zheng decided to temporarily withdraw.
"Hmph! If I find out you’ve been deceiving me, the Supreme Mysterious Sect will bear my wrath!"
With a curse-filled warning, Nangong Zheng departed.
His figure streaked across the sky in a beam of golden light, vanishing into the horizon.
"Phew..."
The Supreme Elders of the sect let out a sigh of relief.
For now, the matter could only be said to have been temporarily resolved.
