After paying the price of several Quasi-Saints being heavily injured by his side, and over a dozen Supremes behind him falling mysteriously without even having the chance to scream, the sect master of Haoyue Sect finally stopped in his tracks. Disheveled and covered in wounds, he stood in the void, unable to resist looking up to the sky and letting out a long howl, his roar of sorrow and rage turning into the resounding sound of the Great Dao, traveling across boundless distances.

"Liu Yunfeng! You colluded with outsiders, killed our Haoyue Sect's Saint Patriarch, you have utterly lost your humanity, you will not die a good death!"

"Generously warning fellow cultivators in the Trial Field, Liu Yunfeng has committed heinous crimes, conspiring with villains to murder our Haoyue Sect's Saint Patriarch. As the sect master of Haoyue Sect, I hereby declare..."

Just as the Haoyue Sect's sect master was roaring, about to pronounce Liu Yunfeng's expulsion from the sect and the like, a jet-black beam of light, originating from below, shot directly towards him.

Despite the fact that three Quasi-Saint elders noticed in time and tried to block it, and despite the sect master himself realizing the danger and making evasive maneuvers,

It was still too late!

This is the Trial Field!

This is not the Big Dipper Continent, not the territory of Haoyue Sect. Not to mention whether anyone here cares about what he says, just the terrifying creatures in this Trial Field alone wouldn't listen to his spiel!

Thud!

This black beam of light directly pierced through the sect master of Haoyue Sect's body, and then, his body was franticly consumed by a black aura, devoured!

"It's bad, our sect master is wounded!"

"Retreat quickly!"

"Take the sect master and leave!"

A group of Haoyue Sect members, taking their sect master, retreated frantically and in utter disarray back the way they had come.

It also signalled that their current pursuit had completely failed!

Without even touching a hair on the enemy, they had lost soldiers and generals, suffering grievous losses.

By the time this group from Haoyue Sect returned with their sect master to the entrance of the Trial Field, almost everyone was carrying various kinds of wounds. During the retreat, many more fell and were left behind here forever.

The fallen, all Supreme Realm cultivators, were the most precious wealth of Haoyue Sect.

But in this Trial Field, they were fragile as if they couldn't take a single blow!

These cultivators who usually held such pride, as if they wished their eyes were on their foreheads, finally understood what the three words "Trial Field" meant, fully grasping the true meaning of the phrase "Genius Grinder."

They all thought they were geniuses, so they got ground up...

It's that simple!

As for the half-statement that the Haoyue Sect's sect master shouted desperately, just how effective it could be, they had no idea whatsoever.

Your Haoyue Sect indeed has some fame, being among the top sects across the entire Big Dipper Domain. But in this Trial Field, aside from those from the Big Dipper Domain who might recognize Haoyue Sect, almost no one else would care about such a sect.

No matter how formidable, try to show your strength in another domain if you dare? Even if the power of that domain is inferior to Haoyue Sect, the Luotian Immortal Domain would certainly not sit idly by and let such things happen.

The sect master of Haoyue Sect was seriously injured, and though he received prompt treatment, he still fell into a coma.

A few elders exchanged glances, seeing a trace of regret in each other's eyes.

Regret for their earlier actions, indeed!

All this loss just to eliminate the grassroots factions within their sect, only to provoke such a terrifying demon. Even their Saint Patriarch was cleaved with a single strike. Now the enemy has completely escaped, hiding in somewhere like the Trial Field, like a dragon entering the deep sea. Once this person grows up in the future, will he return to Haoyue Sect with Liu Yunfeng... for revenge?

This was almost a certainty!

If it were them, they would do the same.

If only they had known, why did they do it in the first place?

These people from Haoyue Sect left the Trial Field dejectedly, as if they had lost their parents, skulking away. What to do next, they'd come up with a plan after getting back. The beings that had just slaughtered them were merely the creatures of the Trial Field. If they encountered a group of battle-maniacs later, likely no one would make it out. Haoyue Sect might just be annihilated from today on!

They arrived quickly and left quickly. Not long after these people from Haoyue Sect disappeared, there really were a large number of people who heard the sect master's words come to this place.

They were curious, wanting to know what had happened, and came for battle. A group of weaklings coming from the sect, presumably not too low in realm, would be perfect for training.

However, they all came up empty-handed. They left the scene disgruntled.

The various news about the infighting within the Haoyue Sect finally spread widely, five days after Chu Mo, Zi Dao, and Liu Yunfeng escaped back to the Trial Field.

Countless cultivators in the Trial Field were so shocked by this news that they were almost at a loss for words.

Yes, they were all Heavenly Geniuses, all peerless Heavenly Geniuses!

In their vast domains, they already represented the most outstanding group of people.

But no matter how genius they were, no matter how excellent, these young supremes never dared to even think about, with their current realm and strength, fighting against a Saint. Let alone chopping a Saint with a single strike. That's simply absurd!

However, more and more news was being spread. A lot of the information was coming from inside the Haoyue Sect, which left others with no choice but to believe it.

"Liu Yunfeng, who is in the top ten of the Heavenly Ranking, has broken with his own sect. It is said that it's because a group of elders in the Haoyue Sect took advantage of his absence and convicted his Master and all his fellow disciples and sisters of unfounded charges, slaughtering everyone in his Master's lineage, leaving none alive. At the end of the day, it's really just a battle for power within the Haoyue Sect. Liu Yunfeng happened to be unlucky and was used as a pawn."

"Here's how it started: not long ago, Liu Yunfeng's dao companion, Lin Xiu, was harassed by the bastard son of a powerful elder in the Haoyue Sect and nearly succeeded. Liu Yunfeng's name disappeared from the Heavenly Ranking at that time because he went back to deal with this matter. His way of handling it was to kill that scumbag who harassed his dao companion. But this left a hidden danger..."

"After slaughtering the disciples from the grassroots faction, those elders of the Haoyue Sect wanted to totally root out the problem and even kill Liu Yunfeng. They despicably used Liu Yunfeng's dao companion, Lin Xiu, to set a trap hoping to ensnare Liu Yunfeng. They didn't expect that Liu Yunfeng wouldn't be returning alone. He had two close brothers with him. They rescued Lin Xiu and eluded the terrifying pursuit of the Haoyue Sect, and finally fled back to the Trial Field."

"Justice will prevail, and the truth can never be faked! The Haoyue Sect, led by the Sect Leader and those self-proclaimed noble elders as accomplices, brutally killed a large number of their fellow disciples, which is no secret. The heavens and earth are our witnesses! They will receive retribution sooner or later!"

In the Trial Field, people started to restore the real truth of the matter and did so very clearly.

These things were actually done by the group of Liu Yunfeng's disciples and sisters who were left in the Trial Field!

Because they had always been in the Trial Field and hadn't gone out, they were spared by luck and miraculously avoided a catastrophe. After Liu Yunfeng returned to the Trial Field, he immediately contacted these own people and recounted the whole ordeal to them. Then he instructed them to hide well and be very careful.

Liu Yunfeng's fellow disciples and sisters went mad and collapsed when they heard the news. If it hadn't been for their insufficient strength to obliterate the Haoyue Sect, an attempt to seek revenge now would be like throwing eggs against a rock. These people might really have gone back to take revenge.

But even if they couldn't go back now, they needed to clarify the real truth and not let others from the Haoyue Sect maliciously slander Liu Yunfeng. Today's Liu Yunfeng has become the only straw they cling to in their hearts—their leader!

Both spiritually and substantially.

Thus, these people began to restore the most truthful account of events within the Trial Field.

But they didn't mention the battle that took place in the Haoyue Sect because they didn't know about it. Liu Yunfeng didn't divulge too much detail to them about the battle either.

However, specific information about that battle still emerged.

"Liu Yunfeng had two exceptionally powerful cultivators by his side, one of whom wielded a dreadful saber and used some kind of enchantment. It was so terrifying that he obliterated the soul of the Haoyue Sect's ancestor with a single slash. That was a Saint!"

"Liu Yunfeng has helpers at his side who can kill a Saint."

"Who exactly is that helper by Liu Yunfeng's side?"

Too many people grew curious about this matter. They didn't care about how the internal struggle of the Haoyue Sect went, nor did they care how Liu Yunfeng saved his dao companion. Almost everyone was concerned about just one thing: who was it that chopped the Saint of the Haoyue Sect with a single strike?

Shortly after, a message finally spread saying that Liu Yunfeng had been with Zi Dao, number one on the Heavenly Ranking, and Lin Hei, number nine, all along. It is said that the three of them were like brothers. The people who accompanied Liu Yunfeng back to the Haoyue Sect were very likely Zi Dao and Lin Hei.

Therefore, the one who struck down the Saint was either Zi Dao or Lin Hei!

This news was shocking!

After so many days had passed, people were finally getting infinitely close to the truth.

Then, more confirmed news came out: Jiang Caiyue personally admitted that Liu Yunfeng was with Zi Dao and Lin Hei. At her glance, the one who split a Saint with a slash was not likely to be Zi Dao. She said although Zi Dao was very strong, he was not powerful enough to slash a Saint.

If not Zi Dao, then it must be Lin Hei!

"Yes, at first I thought Lin Hei was talented, later I realized he was a genius, and even later… I found that I couldn't see through him. To say that he could slash a Saint to death with one strike, I think it's not impossible. But after all, we didn't witness it ourselves. So, we cannot confirm," Jiang Caiyue publicly stated.

Upon hearing Jiang Caiyue's words, Chu Mo could only mutter to himself: Why do you talk so much? Others who know about it don't talk about it, yet you speak quite happily.

To this, Zi Dao chuckled: "She's pressing you."

"Pressuring me?" Chu Mo was taken aback.

"Yeah, by praising you so high and then putting you under immense pressure, at that moment she will approach you to recruit you..." Zi Dao was speaking when Chu Mo's communication stone vibrated.

Chu Mo glanced at Zi Dao, slightly curved the corner of his mouth: "Jiang Caiyue."
