Hmm? This White Emperor City relies on the Five Spirit Sect to survive, yet ghost cultivators are running rampant here, and the Five Spirit Sect turns a blind eye to it. This is quite unusual. Could it be that the Five Spirit Sect is truly colluding with the Ghost Cultivation Sect?

When this thought crossed Wang Xiaoqiang's mind, he was utterly shocked. Cultivation aristocracy could fight openly and secretly, could destroy each other, but as an orthodox cultivation sect, colluding with ghost cultivators to harm common folk is a grave sin!

Originally, Wang Xiaoqiang had no particular fondness for the Five Spirit Sect. Firstly, Li Jianyi came from the Five Spirit Sect and was later slain by him.

Secondly, when he first arrived in the Immortal Realm and entered the Five Spirit Sect, he was ridiculed and mocked by four vice sect leaders for not having a spirit root. Later on, he was persecuted repeatedly by the North Sect Leader, Hann Beifeng. Although he eventually retaliated and killed Hann Beifeng, the Five Spirit Sect left him with a bad impression. To this day, thinking of it still left a shadow in his heart.

If the Five Spirit Sect is indeed colluding with ghost cultivators, he won't hesitate. He'll take this opportunity to destroy the Five Spirit Sect.

With this in mind, Wang Xiaoqiang didn't follow directly into the Five Spirit Sect but returned to the Yans Family and called upon Little Qing. The two then came together to the sky above the Five Spirit Sect.

Wang Xiaoqiang instructed Little Qing to guard outside to prevent any ghost cultivators from escaping.

Then Wang Xiaoqiang approached the main gate of the Five Spirit Sect.

The Five Spirit Sect had a protective sect array. Though Wang Xiaoqiang could easily break it, he didn't want to be too forceful lest it leaves any excuse for accusations. As the Yue Marquis, a public figure, he couldn't afford such a loss of dignity.

Two gatekeeper disciples of the Five Spirit Sect blocked Wang Xiaoqiang and questioned him. The older one scrutinized Wang Xiaoqiang then pointed at him and said in surprise, "Huh? Why do you look familiar?"

Wang Xiaoqiang sneered and said, "I used to be a disciple of the Five Spirit Sect under the North Sect's Hann Beifeng..."

"Hann Beifeng!? The dead one?" The disciple said with obvious apprehension.

"Yes, the one killed by me." Wang Xiaoqiang grinned proudly.

"Ah, you, you are Wang Xiaoqiang?!" The two gatekeeper disciples were taken aback, stepping back three paces, their eyes fixed on Wang Xiaoqiang, nervously alert.

"You don't need to be afraid. Killing you would be as easy as pinching an ant. I wouldn't waste words with you here if I intended to."

The two disciples felt slightly relieved, but one still said, "Wang Xiaoqiang, you're a madman who killed your mentor. How dare you come back to the sect, you..."

Wang Xiaoqiang's fierce reputation made the disciple choke on his words, afraid of provoking Wang Xiaoqiang and ending up like Hann Beifeng.

"Hann Beifeng oppressed the disciples and deserved death," Wang Xiaoqiang said with disdain, "Hurry up, report to your Sect Leader that the Yue Marquis, Wang Xiaoqiang, has arrived and demands his presence!"

The two disciples looked at each other. Wang Xiaoqiang was notorious in the Five Spirit Sect for killing Hann Beifeng. At that time, the sect issued a wanted order for Wang Xiaoqiang, promising great rewards for his capture.

Because of this, the sect disciples were highly wary of Wang Xiaoqiang. They had heard stories about him and now they saw that he had returned as a marquis, a person of high status whom they had to believe.

"You, are you really Wang Xiaoqiang?" The older gatekeeper disciple hesitated after checking Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation base with his divine sense, revealing doubt. He found the person's base to be at the True Immortal Realm Sixth Stage, whereas it was said that Wang Xiaoqiang was already at the Fourfold Body of the Immortal Venerable. The disparity in cultivation was too great. Besides, even though Wang Xiaoqiang had a new status, it was unlikely he would return to this place of all places!

With this in mind, the older disciple snorted coldly at Wang Xiaoqiang. He then turned to the other disciple and said, "He's an imposter. Ignore him!"

The younger disciple also changed his expression after probing Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation and waved dismissively, saying, "How dare you pretend in the Five Spirit Sect! If you don't want to die, get lost now..."

Before the words were out, Wang Xiaoqiang's face twisted in fury, and with a thought, six million Spiritual Springs were absorbed into his body, causing his Spiritual Power to surge tremendously. He transformed from being a True Immortal Realm Sixth Stage cultivator into a Fourfold Body of the Immortal Venerable.

The gatekeeper disciples were shocked, stumbling back. With a flick of his sleeve, Wang Xiaoqiang sent the younger disciple flying through the air in an arc, landing heavily, spewing blood, and dying on the spot.

That disciple was merely at the Solidification Stage, not worth a second for Wang Xiaoqiang to kill.

The older gatekeeper disciple was terrified, dropping to his knees, continuously kowtowing until his head bled, pleading desperately, "This lowly one deserves death, Marquis, spare my life, Marquis, spare my life..."

"Get out!" Wang Xiaoqiang kicked the disciple aside, sending him flying and hitting the ground hard. Though not dead, the disciple was seriously injured.

Wang Xiaoqiang stepped through the main gate, stopping by the disciple, giving him a cold glance and sneering, "You begged me to spare your life but didn't ask me not to attack you, so blame your pig brain!"

Leaving this behind, Wang Xiaoqiang marched on.

Time had passed, and revisiting the familiar yet unfamiliar scenery of the Five Spirit Sect stirred emotions in Wang Xiaoqiang.

Back then, he came as a novice disciple, feeling anxious and awed by the sanctity of the place, only daring to look up. Now, as the Marquis of Yue, he returned to evaluate the sect from a position of superiority.

With a smug smile, Wang Xiaoqiang folded his hands behind his back and released his four avatars with a thought.

The four avatars scattered to the four directions: east, south, west, and north, using their divine senses to search for the ghost cultivators' traces.

At that moment, in a secret chamber of the Five Spirit Sect, the Ghost Young Master, the Sect Leader, Five Spirit True Immortal, and the newly emerged Ghost King were in a secret meeting.

"Young Master, are you sure it was Wang Xiaoqiang you encountered..." Five Spirit True Immortal asked cautiously and anxiously.

"It cannot be mistaken, it was most likely him without a doubt!" Ghost Young Master said with confident certainty.

Before he could finish, the Ghost King's face changed, and he yelled at the Ghost Young Master, "Fool! Pig brain, knowing it was Wang Xiaoqiang, why did you return here... You should have led him to the Ghost Territory!"

Five Spirit True Immortal's face turned pale as he scanned the Five Spirit Sect with his divine sense, and his expression grew even paler as he panicked, "That Evil Star is here!"

Ghost King also extended his divine sense and quickly found Wang Xiaoqiang's true body and four avatars patrolling within the Five Spirit Sect.

"What should we do?" Ghost Young Master asked in a panic, "Wang Xiaoqiang's cultivation is deeply profound. I think he is more than just at the Fourfold Body of the Immortal Venerable..."

"You must leave immediately, or else our Five Spirit Sect is doomed!"

Five Spirit True Immortal said, visibly terrified. Though he feared not Wang Xiaoqiang, the matter of colluding with ghost cultivators was significant. If it leaked out, the Empire would certainly strike against them. How could the small Five Spirit Sect bear such consequences?

"Wang Xiaoqiang killed my great disciple Myriad Ghosts, used the Immortal River Maze to lure and kill the top ten masters of the Ghost Path, establishing an irreconcilable enmity with the Ghost Path," The Ghost King said, clenching his right fist and pounding his left palm in rage, "True Immortal, surely Wang Xiaoqiang has uncovered us. We can't escape this now. How about we join forces to kill Wang Xiaoqiang to silence him!"
