Hongmeng, having nothing else to attend to, fully channeled his Divine Power to accelerate his Yang Po Chu.

「World of Leaning on the Sky.」

Kunlun Mountain. Peak Light.

The main altar of the Ming Sect.

"Yang Xiao, come out here!"

"What exactly are you trying to do by luring the Six Major Sects and numerous martial artists to Peak Light?"

"You're going to destroy the Ming Sect!"

Zhou Dian, Monk Peng Yingyu, Monk Budai Shuobude, and others of the Five Scattered People, along with Bat King Wei Yixiao, were clamoring as they strode in.

The Ming Sect already had a strained relationship with the other martial factions and was often called the Demon Sect.

Now, Yang Xiao had used the Dragon-slaying Saber as bait to attract all the major sects; this was akin to inviting wolves into one's house.

If things went awry, the Ming Sect could suffer enormous losses or even face annihilation.

"Yang Xiao, do you know where that dog of a thief Cheng Kun is?"

"Where is that dog of a thief Cheng Kun?"

A roar like a lion's blasted through as Golden Hair Lion King Xie Xun charged in, brandishing his Double-headed wolf fang stick, his body radiating a wild aura.

"The Lion King has arrived!"

"It's been many years since we last saw the Lion King!"

"I heard he's been on a killing spree looking for Cheng Kun to get revenge, nearly going mad!"

Zhou Dian, Monk Peng, and the others buzzed with discussion. The Ming Sect's reputation was worsening year by year, inseparably linked to the Golden Hair Lion King's widespread killing and annihilation of families, as well as Bat King Wei Yixiao's practice of feeding on human blood.

"Lion King, it has been a long time. You still possess the same majestic presence as before!"

Bat King Wei Yixiao looked at Xie Xun. The four Kings of Law of the Ming Sect were sworn brothers and maintained a good relationship.

Of course, this excluded Purple Robe Dragon King Dai Qisi. The bonds of friendship between women and men were different.

"Bat King, Five Scattered People!"

Xie Xun nodded, greeted everyone, and then saw Yang Xiao slowly making his way from the inner hall.

"Yang Xiao, where is that dog of a thief Cheng Kun? Tell me, quickly!"

Xie Xun lunged forward and bellowed urgently.

"Bring Cheng Kun up here!"

Yang Xiao raised his palm and gave a light wave.

Two Ming Sect disciples immediately escorted Cheng Kun in from outside.

"Cheng Kun!"

"It really is Cheng Kun!"

"He's shaved his head bald. Has he become a monk?"

"It seems this scoundrel has been hiding in the Shaolin Temple. No wonder the Lion King couldn't find any trace of him all these years, despite his frantic search!"

"How did Yang Xiao find him?"

Zhou Dian, Monk Peng, and the rest were somewhat surprised. They hadn't expected Yang Xiao to not only know Cheng Kun's whereabouts but to have also found him.

"Cheng Kun!"

Seeing his nemesis, Xie Xun's eyes instantly turned bloodshot. Like a maddened lion, he roared, his entire body's power surging as he unleashed the Seven Injuries Fist.

BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!

Hundreds of fist shadows bombarded Cheng Kun's body. The terrifying force instantly shattered Cheng Kun's internal organs and all the bones in his body.

A mouthful of fresh blood burst forth, and Cheng Kun slammed into a nearby pillar like a heavily thrown ragdoll.

The current Xie Xun was boiling with murderous intent, unlike his portrayal in the original story where, after being brainwashed by the Shaolin Temple for several months, his malicious energy had greatly waned. In that version, he not only endured three palm strikes from Cheng Kun, thereby repaying the debt for Cheng Kun's teachings, but in the end, also merely blinded Cheng Kun rather than killing him.

"Wuji, my child, I have finally avenged you!"

With Cheng Kun dead, Xie Xun seemed to lose all his strength. He knelt before Cheng Kun's corpse, old tears streaming down his face as he sobbed bitterly.

He once had a one-month-old son named Xie Wuji, who was killed by Cheng Kun. His wife was also violated and murdered, and his entire family was annihilated.

Zhang Wuji's name also stemmed from this.

"Sigh."

Yang Xiao, Wei Yixiao, Zhou Dian, and the others said nothing, sighing deeply in their hearts.

They were of the same generation as Xie Xun and also high-ranking members of the Ming Sect, so they naturally knew something of Xie Xun's tragic experiences.

「After a while,」

Xie Xun, his great vendetta avenged, stood up. The heavy stone and the knot in his heart finally lifted. He looked towards Yang Xiao.

"Envoy Yang, thank you for helping me capture Cheng Kun and avenge the profound blood feud of my thirteen family members. In the future, if you have any commands, I will carry them out even at the cost of my life!"

"Yang Xiao, you're really something!" Zhou Dian's sarcastic voice came from the side as he said loudly, "Don't think that by helping the Lion King get his revenge and gaining his support, you can become the Sect Hierarch. I, Zhou Dian, will be the first to disagree!"

"Oh? And what would it take for you to be convinced?"

Yang Xiao looked at Zhou Dian meaningfully. Then, the terrifying aura of a Peak of Grandmaster, like a volcanic eruption, suddenly burst forth from his body, heavily pressing down on Zhou Dian.

It wasn't just Zhou Dian, Monk Peng, and Wei Yixiao; everyone present felt an incredibly terrifying pressure. It was as if a great mountain pressed down on their backs, making it difficult to breathe.

"How is this possible?"

"You've broken through to Grandmaster?"

Zhou Dian's eyes widened, his body gradually bending. He trembled like a candle in the wind, on the verge of being crushed at any moment!

Is this the power of a Grandmaster?

Wei Yixiao's eyes filled with shock. Although he possessed a Late innate stage cultivation level, at this moment, he felt like a lone boat in a raging sea, on the verge of capsizing.

Are Grandmasters really this powerful?

Grandmasters.

So terrifyingly powerful.

"HAHAHA, it seems I've arrived at just the right time! Since Hierarch Yang's disappearance, this is the first time the Ming Sect has been this lively. Only the Dragon King and Envoy Fan are missing!"

An exhilarated laugh rang out as White Brow Eagle King Yin Tianzheng, accompanied by Yin Yewang and Yin Susu, strode in from outside.

Although the Grandmaster aura emanating from him wasn't as strong as Yang Xiao's, resisting Yang Xiao's pressure wasn't difficult for him.

"Eagle King!"

Everyone exclaimed in surprise.

Wei Yixiao's eyes initially filled with pleasant surprise, but his expression then froze. He exclaimed in shock, "Eagle King, you... you've broken through as well?"

"Indeed. Thanks to our God's blessings, I've barely reached Mid-level Grandmaster. It's nothing compared to Envoy Yang, who is already at the Peak of Grandmaster!"

Yin Tianzheng's eyes held reverence, admiration, and fervor as he spoke with emotion.

"Peak of Grandmaster?"
