Over the course of a year, Ye Xuezhang not only made tremendous progress in martial arts but also grew deeply attached to his wife, Qi Yixuan.
Their relationship was so intimate and inseparable that it could be described as unbreakable.
This gentle and caring wife was someone Ye Xuezhang truly cherished.
"Phew~~!"
In his study, Ye Xuezhang practiced his cultivation as usual.
Exhaling a long breath of turbid air, he slowly opened his eyes and stood up from the ground.
[Ding! New check-in task released. Please proceed to Zhao Tian Sect for check-in.]
Hearing the system prompt, Ye Xuezhang was slightly taken aback before breaking into a smile.
Mount Zhao Tian—the location of Zhao Tian Sect's main gate.
Over the past year, Ye Xuezhang had encountered several ambushes by Jianghu ruffians during his business travels:
Zhang Heng of the Ghost Blade, Zhao Zhong the Butcher, Li Qi of the Blood-Hand Blade, and others...
These ruffians were all hired by Zhao Tian Sect.
But their goal wasn't to kill Ye Xuezhang; it was merely to intimidate him, hoping he would beg Zhao Tian Sect for protection.
Unluckily for them, every single one of these attackers met their end at Ye Xuezhang's hands.
Not a single one lived to return!
Zhao Tian Sect assumed Ye Xuezhang was under the protection of an expert. After repeated failures, they eventually gave up causing trouble for him.
Well then...
It's about time this sect was dealt with.
But I must be cautious—leave no survivors!
Half a day later, at the base of Mount Zhao Tian.
The World is My Path!
With True Qi circulating, Ye Xuezhang moved like a streak of light, reaching the mountain's summit in an instant.
The mountain-guarding disciples of Zhao Tian Sect didn't notice a thing!
After arriving at the designated location, the system's voice rang out:
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for acquiring the technique Silent Great Sound. The system has granted immediate Mastery.]
[Ding! Congratulations, Host, for obtaining five years of Pure True Qi.]
In this world, True Qi was categorized into four types: Ordinary, Refined, Pure, and Supreme.
The purer the True Qi, the stronger the combat power.
After eight years of cultivation, Ye Xuezhang had reached Pure True Qi; his next step would be Supreme True Qi!
He then turned his attention to the newly acquired technique.
Silent Great Sound: A supreme Daoist technique. When activated, it creates a field that suppresses all sound, nullifying any noise within the area. It is the nemesis of all soundwave-based techniques.
Ha!
This technique was quite intriguing.
With it, no matter how powerful an enemy's sound-based skills were, he would have nothing to fear!
After claiming his reward, Ye Xuezhang's eyes turned icy, radiating a murderous aura.
The massacre began!
To prevent any escapes, Ye Xuezhang returned to the mountain's base and methodically slaughtered his way up to the Cult Leader's hall.
Clang, clang, clang…
Alarm bells tolled incessantly throughout Zhao Tian Sect.
"Master! Master, it's bad! There's a swordsman at the foot of the mountain, killing everyone in sight! As of now, 67 disciples have fallen to his blade!"
In the Cult Leader's Hall, a disciple staggered in, falling to his knees before Cult Leader Ma Dongwu, tears streaming down his face.
"What?!"
Ma Dongwu's expression changed as he rose from his chair.
Who could possibly be so bold as to attack Zhao Tian Sect alone?
And why? Zhao Tian Sect hadn't wronged anyone recently!
"Come, let's go take a look."
Ma Dongwu quickly led his personal disciple, Xin Leng, along with several elders from the hall, to the sect's central plaza.
As they stepped out, they were met with an icy chill.
The wind was biting, sending shivers down their spines.
It was May, and the sun was blazing overhead, the heat slightly oppressive.
Yet they felt as if they were in the depths of winter.
This wasn't due to the weather, but the murderous aura emanating from a powerful individual. It was so intense that it seemed to alter the environment itself!
Ma Dongwu's heart trembled in fear.
What kind of expert was this, whose murderous intent reached them before they even saw him?
Step, step, step…
Heavy footsteps echoed. A tall, imposing figure appeared before Ma Dongwu.
When he saw the man's face, both Ma Dongwu and Xin Leng gasped in unison:
"Impossible!"
"How could it be him?"
Wasn't he just some wealthy Young Master?
In this world, nothing is truly impossible.
Some things are merely unexpected.
Like today, when Ye Xuezhang exterminated the entire Zhao Tian Sect—a feat Ma Dongwu couldn't have imagined even in his wildest dreams.
Even in death, Ma Dongwu couldn't believe it.
Before he could even draw his sword, the throat he had so arrogantly raised in scorn was pierced by the blade of the Young Master he had always underestimated.
The battle was straightforward: one man, one sword, no hesitation.
In less than fifteen minutes, the entire Zhao Tian Sect—from top to bottom—was annihilated in the plaza before the Cult Leader's Hall.
Afterward, Ye Xuezhang smiled faintly.
Zhao Tian Sect had occupied Cangxi City for many years, firmly holding the title of the city's foremost sect.
The treasures hidden within their sect must surely be abundant!
