Chapter 157: Aftermath (I)

“Bang…”

Suddenly, the sound of an air barrier exploding rang out from the horizon.

This was the sound of someone at the level of the third stage of the warrior realm traveling at top speed.

There was no way to hide the sound like that of a supersonic plane breaking through the air barrier, unless one could merge their body into space to travel quickly.

Once the speed exceeded a certain limit, the breaking through sound of the air barrier would be like shining a light in the dark night.

Chen Yiming’s eyes flickered as he changed the direction he was heading in to East Lake City. His figure turned into a black fog and entered the depths of the forest. He wasn’t moving quickly, but his figure disappeared without a trace.

Beside the island in the middle of the lake, four figures rushed to the collapsed mountain almost at the same time.

As far as the eye could see, the dust caused by the falling rocks had yet to completely dissipate. Broken rocks with sharp corners could be seen everywhere.

The people who had arrived were Zhou Xuesheng, Su Xuyang, and the sect masters of the Myriad Phenomena Sect and the Jiyang Sect.

The sect master of the Myriad Phenomena Sect, Ye Jianyuan, had a head of white hair, but he looked like a middle-aged man.

With a gentle wave of his hand, an invisible ripple spread out. All the smoke and dust were drawn by a force and drifted deep into the forest.

His body was different from that of an ordinary person. His arms were like those of an ape, and his legs were like those of a mantis. He had a stocky build, and his entire body was developed to give him an advantage over his opponents. Just by standing there, he gave off a ferocious aura like that of a dire beast.

Not far behind him, “Tap! Tap!”

The sect master of the Jiyang Sect, Wei Tianlong, walked over step by step. Wherever he passed, the grass quickly withered and spontaneously combusted.

He was more than three meters tall, with messy hair draped over his shoulders. His eyes were as big as bells, and the skin on his body was a bronze color, as though he was born with a layer of copper skin.

The surging blood in his body was burning like a furnace. Just by unintentionally releasing a little bit of it to the outside world, it made one feel like a scorching power was surging towards them.

Zhou Xuesheng, who was beside Ye Jianyuan, pointed at the ruins of the mountain and said in a low voice, “Sect Master, this is the place where the masked man attacked them with the sword.”

Ye Jianyuan glanced around and said calmly, “The power of this sword has completely exceeded the second stage of the warrior realm. It has reached the ordinary level of the third stage of the warrior realm.”

Zhou Xuesheng’s expression was solemn as he said in a low voice, “This way, according to the information we received from our people in Luoxi City, combined with the extent of damage to this mountain, the masked man should be the one wanted by the Blue Cloud Sword Sect.”

Ye Jianyuan nodded and said in a low voice, “It’s best not to provoke him easily.”

There was more than one type of internal force with the ability to turn one invisible. Chen Yiming had never used the Mantis Snake Sword Technique in front of others as a masked man, so it was difficult to confirm his identity.

Chen Yiming would only reveal his identity when he used the 100-meter-long sword formed from four consecutive boulders. After all, with such destructive power, he could be ranked among the strongest in the province.

This way, it would be difficult to grasp Chen Yiming’s exact whereabouts. This would indirectly give the outside world a huge deterrent, and even Ye Jianyuan wasn’t willing to offend him easily.

At this moment, Wei Tianlong came over and said calmly, “Sect Master Ye, the masked man’s combat strength has only reached the threshold of the third stage of the warrior realm. His true level should still be at the second stage of the warrior realm. How can we let him off so easily?”

Ye Jianyuan didn’t think much of it and said with a smile, “Sect Master Wei, ignoring the fact that we were a step too late, even if we made it just in time, do you have the confidence to hold him back?”

Wei Tianlong’s expression did not change as he retorted, “We are one level higher than the other party. How will we know if we don’t try?”

Ye Jianyuan shook his head and said in a low voice, “Li Daoyi of the Blue Cloud Sword Sect might have had the same thoughts as you back then. What was the outcome?

Moreover, it’s just a porcelain bowl used to develop bloodline warriors. Once we make a move, we might destroy everything within a radius of 100 kilometers. How will you explain this to the higher-ups in Jiangnan province?”

Wei Tianlong’s expression froze, and he could not refute him.

On the blue planet, the reason why one’s movements were restricted at the third stage of the warrior realm was because at this level, their destructive power was too strong.

If there were no restrictions, before the outcome of the war between the blue planet and the otherworld could be determined, its environment would already be destroyed by human martial arts experts.

The reason was that Chen Yiming’s true combat strength had reached the peak on the blue planet.

Other than the mysterious internal force master, the only people in the province who were stronger than Chen Yiming were the sect masters of a few large sects, as well as the few people who remained as the foundation of the large sects.

Even after adding the small number of big shots in the provincial city, there were at most 20 people.

Without being able to quickly take down the masked man, even a sect master like Ye Jianyuan would not make a move easily. This was because if he failed, he would create a troublesome enemy for the sect.

Ye Jianyuan looked at the Eastern Lake again. The bright red color on the surface of the lake had yet to completely dissipate. He smiled and said, “Sect Master Wei, we shouldn’t be the ones who should be the most anxious.”

Wei Tianlong glanced at the lake and smiled. “Xuyang, on the way here, you mentioned that the masked man killed four inner court heads of the Kunshan Sect with one strike?”

Su Xuyang replied in a low voice, “Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. The four inner court heads of the Kunshan Sect were crushed by the huge sword in the blink of an eye.”

Wei Tianlong nodded and said with a smile, “More than half of the inner court heads of the Kunshan Sect died in one night. This is not an ordinary grudge that can be resolved by paying a suitable price.”

The atmosphere by the lake suddenly became relaxed.

Both the Jiyang Sect or the Myriad Phenomena Sect were happy to see the Kunshan Sect suffer heavy losses. Even though the two factions might condemn the masked man on the surface after this, they might not truly feel this way in private.

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion rang out from the direction of the Kunshan Sect.

“It’s time to go.”

Ye Jianyuan and Wei Tianlong looked at each other and smiled.

If they did not leave now, when the sect master of the Kunshan Sect arrived at the scene of the tragedy, he might suspect that the Myriad Phenomena Sect and the Jiyang Sect had joined forces to set up a trap to kill the four inner court heads of the Kunshan Sect.

In the next moment, the four figures disappeared at the same time, and the lake fell silent again, leaving only the sound of water splashing against the shore.

The sect masters of the Myriad Phenomena Sect and the Jiyang Sect had arrived while causing a huge commotion then quietly left.

Not long after, there was an explosion comparable to a ten-ton bomb. Then, there was a tremor like an earthquake that swept in all directions.

The island in the middle of the lake was a famous tourist spot in the Eastern Lake. Under the furious punch of the sect master of the Kunshan Sect, large pieces of the ground broke off and sank into the depths of the lake.

…

In a secret villa in the suburbs of Cloud Port City, “There’s still no news of the final situation.”

Mo Yanfei looked anxious as she paced back and forth by the window.

From time to time, she would send a message through a special bird to communicate with the two generations of the Mo clan’s heads, Mo Fengzhi and Mo Zhenhe.

The Mo clan had been a martial arts clan in Cloud Port City for decades. Not only did they have a large number of spies in Cloud Port City, but they also had a small number of intelligence agents in various cities in Jiangnan province.

As soon as the auction started, they sent out a large number of intelligence agents to gather as much information as possible about what had happened at the auction.

By this time, a large amount of information had been gathered, and Mo Yanfei roughly knew what had happened at the auction.

Gu Chen, a true disciple of the Kunshan Sect’s inner court focused on the kidney, had won the bid for the porcelain bowl and successfully left East Lake City with it.

Then, there was news that many factions had surrounded the three inner court heads of the Kunshan Sect.

This news made Mo Yanfei unable to remain calm.

She, who knew about the Blue Cloud Sword Sect, knew that Chen Yiming could easily snatch the porcelain bowl from the three court heads of the Kunshan Sect.

The problem was that Chen Yiming couldn’t suppress the Kunshan Sect, and the Mo clan’s roots were in Cloud Port City. Even if the Kunshan Sect couldn’t find the masked man, they could still go after the Mo clan.

In the conflict between Chen Yiming and the Kunshan Sect, the Mo clan was like a child sandwiched between two adults. They could be destroyed if they were even slightly affected.

Suddenly, a strange flow of air appeared.

Chen Yiming dispersed his black fog internal force and revealed himself by the window.
