This square serves as the gathering place for the junior disciples of Longevity Heaven, operating under the jurisdiction of the Seventh Elder, Zhao Hongzhi!

In other words, almost all disciples of Longevity Heaven, at the initial stage of entering the sect, have to spend a long period under the supervision of Zhao Hongzhi. Even extraordinary talents like Fan Lizhi have to undergo years of training under Zhao Hongzhi.

For the rest, the duration extends even longer, stretching from a decade to several decades.

Thus, throughout Longevity Heaven, the Seventh Elder Zhao Hongzhi has a considerable degree of renown, surpassing in popularity many other elders who have been well-known for years.

All along, among the junior disciples of Longevity Heaven, the Seventh Elder Zhao Hongzhi has been regarded as a deity. In their perspective, the Seventh Elder is highly virtuous, willing to guide and promote the younger generation. Almost all young people hold a reverential awe towards the Seventh Elder.

The sudden emergence of this voice now leaves the disciples of Longevity Heaven on the square virtually confounded.

Most of them have long forgotten what happened a year ago. To them, that incident was merely a minor interlude in life.

Every year, many young people fail to become disciples of Longevity Heaven. Yet, these people do not command any attention from the disciples of Longevity Heaven, for they reside in a world estranged from them.

Those who manage to return like this are definitely a first in their memory!

"What on earth has happened?"

"Why does that person claim that the Seventh Elder once stole a Windwing Dragon egg?"

"That can't be possible, can it? This must be a pure smear campaign. How can anyone from Longevity Heaven, being among the most prestigious sects on the Azure Dragon Continent, commit such a deed?"

"Correct, the Seventh Elder couldn't possibly commit such an act!"

"This must be a calumny!"

"Yes, a calumny!"

"That Chu Mo, no idea what kind of luck he had that despite being rejected by our Longevity Heaven, he found a formidable master. Now he even has the audacity to return and cause trouble. He truly is ignorant of his own mortality!"

"Our elders from Longevity Heaven will undoubtedly teach him a good lesson!"

In the square, expressions of indignation cross the faces of the young disciples of Longevity Heaven.

But inside the temple at the end of the square, Zhao Hongzhi's reaction was completely different from those of the disciples in the square.

At Lonely God Peak, that chilling voice had barely resonated when Zhao Hongzhi inadvertently shuddered!

He could never forget that in Yanhuang City of Great Xia, a tremendously powerful, chilly young man kicked him out of Yanhuang City with just one foot.

That kick… he would never forget it for the rest of his life!

The other party had become immensely powerful to an extent that he couldn't comprehend. Even in Longevity Heaven, there could hardly be anyone who would be a match for that person!

Over the past year, Zhao Hongzhi had been living with fear and regret.

If only he had tolerated for a moment back then and recruited that brute into Longevity Heaven, the brute would never have met that abnormally powerful man. Naturally, he wouldn't have become that man's disciple, and everything that followed wouldn't have happened either.

Then, he would have had numerous opportunities to kill that beast unnoticed!

"It's all because of my haste…"

Zhao Hongzhi had repeated this self-deprecatory phrase countless times. It's a shame, however, that there is no such thing as a remedy for regret in this world.

The recent months, in which Chu Mo had been stirring up the secular world, had left Zhao Hongzhi ill at ease.

Today, what he had most feared…finally happened!

The person came directly to confront him and made his past deeds public.

What now...should he run away?

Zhao Hongzhi didn't believe that he could escape from under that person's watchful eyes.

Deny till death? It seems that is the only route I can take.

At the time Zhao Hongzhi was fraught with anxiety, atop Lonely God Peak, that icy voice resonated again.

"Though he is a failure, he is still a matter of your Longevity Heaven. I came here today just to let you know one thing. Anyone who dares to touch my disciple, I will kill."

The icy voice of the Demon Lord echoed throughout Lonely God Peak.

At this moment, a figure swiftly darted from the distance, finally arriving before the Demon Lord and Chu Mo. He was an elder who appeared to be in his fifties.

This elder held a unique aura of a superior, as though he has held a high position for a long time. Even when facing the imposing Demon Lord, he remained fully confident.

"To suddenly appear on Lonely God Peak and spout such bold words, isn't that somewhat impolite? Or are you saying… you don't respect Longevity Heaven?" The elder posed with an initially aggressive tone, staring directly at the Demon Lord.

The Demon Lord looked at the man emotionlessly, "Who are you?"

"I'm the Sect Leader of Longevity Heaven," the elder calmly replied.

At this moment, the dozen or so people who had been watching the situation from a distance all converged here.

"Oh." The Demon Lord responded indifferently: "You are not qualified to converse with me, where is the one who spoke just now? Let him come out."

"Are you perhaps overestimating yourself?" The Sect Leader of Longevity Heaven laughed out in anger, "This is Longevity Heaven! Not your little plot of land."

The Demon Lord was about to say something, but at this point, a faint voice came from afar: "You all may withdraw."

"Supreme Elder..." The sect leader of Longevity Heaven showed a shocked expression, he didn't expect the Supreme Elder, who had been in seclusion for hundreds of years, to re-emerge!

The hoary voice from earlier was from Longevity Heaven's Supreme Elder. At that time, the Supreme Elder was still in retreat. The fact that he spoke was enough to send shockwaves through Longevity Heaven, because it's been too many years since the Supreme Elder has made any sound.

Many had even speculated whether their Supreme Elder had already passed away.

Yet, the arrival of this man today had directly drawn out the Supreme Elder from seclusion!

"Withdraw." The hoary voice was very calm, but the tone left no room for question.

The sect leader of Longevity Heaven hesitated for a moment, then made a fist salute towards the direction of the hoary voice, "Yes!"

With that, a wave of his hand sent the dozen or so people, along with the sect leader, retreating with faces full of shock.

The Supreme Elder has emerged from seclusion!

This news shook the entire Longevity Heaven.

Even many elders who had been in Longevity Heaven for over a hundred years have never heard the Supreme Elder's voice, let alone seen him.

Then, a man who looked to be in his early thirties, came stride by stride from afar. He seemed to be walking slowly, but each step covered dozens of miles, and in the blink of an eye, he was in front of the Demon Lord and Chu Mo.

The youth had long, black hair casually draped over his shoulders. He was clad in a teal Daoist robe, his eyes calm. But upon closer inspection, they were filled with traces of the vicissitudes of life. Only these eyes could indicate that this person's age was definitely older than his youthful face suggested.

The youth first gave Chu Mo a once-over, then a gleam appeared in his eyes and he exclaimed, "What a remarkable and exceptional young man! Is this... a disciple that our Longevity Heaven had once rejected?"

The Demon Lord remained silent, simply watching this man calmly.

Chu Mo didn't say anything either, his gaze filled with a hint of curiosity towards this man. He wanted to know how old this man truly was and what sort of realm he had reached.

In his heart, Chu Mo wondered: could this man be the legendary innate master? An innate expert like Shen Aobing who could fly like an immortal?

The youth then sighed, "Longevity Heaven...being a top-tier sect for so long, it's inevitable to become bloated and decayed. To think they would overlook such a disciple... I wonder what those people are doing, living off their past achievements!"

The young man's statement was heard across all of Lonely God Peak.

Beneath Lonely God Peak, in the vast square, countless young disciples of Longevity Heaven were instantly petrified.

At the far end of the square, inside the great hall, Seventh Elder Zhao Hongzhi instantly went pale. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to give votes and monthly tickets on qidian.com. Your support is my greatest motivation. Mobile users can navigate to m.qidian.com to read.)
