"You..."

Thud!

Just as he was about to speak, Jiang Shi grabbed the back of his neck, yanked him forcefully, and covered his mouth with the other hand, completely silencing him.

The other party's eyes showed terror, trembling within Jiang Shi's embrace, feeling as if wrapped by a powerful beast, and his very soul seemed about to shatter.

"It's you!"

Jiang Shi grinned menacingly, his mouth spreading wide in an indescribable joy.

The Blood Exchange Old Monster of the Three Profound Sect!

What a twist of fate!

This beast has repeatedly targeted their Black Lotus Holy Sect, and now dares to secretly spy on them.

"Rest assured, I'll skin you one slice at a time, ensuring you endure endless torment, and even wishing for death will be in vain. Oh, by the way, your Three Profound Sect is doomed."

Jiang Shi spoke calmly, his voice penetrating the ears of the Blood Exchange Old Monster.

The Blood Exchange Old Monster was even more terrified, muttering incomprehensibly, eyelids blinking furiously, eager to beg for forgiveness, but to no avail.

Bang!

With a palm strike, Jiang Shi knocked him unconscious on the spot, his expression indifferent, rolled up the Blood Exchange Old Monster, and left into the distance.

The entire Black Lotus Holy Sect moved swiftly and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

···

Several miles away.

In another dense forest.

The Wind King carefully surveyed the surroundings, halting everyone, and said, "Jiang Right Envoy, it should be safe here."

"Hmm, let's rest here for a few days and wait for the Sect Leader's news."

Jiang Shi spoke, casually flicking his fingers, awakening the Blood Exchange Old Monster in his hand. As soon as he woke, Jiang Shi struck like lightning, immediately breaking his limbs and shattering his meridians, eliciting a piercing scream.

Thud!

Jiang Shi tossed the Blood Exchange Old Monster on the ground, calmly saying, "Where is the brother whose arm was broken before? Let him come over; this man is his."

"Yes, Jiang Right Envoy!"

A steward responded and quickly brought over a steward with heavily bandaged arms.

The steward's face was full of hatred and glee, holding a steel knife, grinning menacingly as he approached the Blood Exchange Old Monster.

He was originally supposed to be sent back to the sect, but the Kong Family's orders came too quickly that night, leaving him no choice but to follow the main force to Jue Long Ridge.

Now his arms have been reattached, although unable to fight for a while, it was more than sufficient to flay a person alive with a knife.

"Spare me, Brother Jiang, spare me, I was coerced, my Three Profound Sect is innocent..."

The Blood Exchange Old Monster begged in terror.

Thud!

Agonized sobbing...

The Blood Exchange Old Monster immediately howled in pain, mouth full of blood spurting wildly, having had his tongue cruelly mangled by the steward's steel knife.

The steward, full of wrath, grabbed a long knife and swiftly went to work on the adversary.

The Wind King and Rain King both sighed inwardly, said nothing, and soon organized everyone to rest on the spot.

"You all stand guard here; I'll take a look around to prevent anyone from sneaking up."

Jiang Shi's tone was calm, and with a word, he walked forward.

But suddenly, he halted, his eyes narrowing, becoming exceptionally sharp as he looked toward the pitch-black forest.

"What's wrong, Jiang Right Envoy?"

The Rain King asked, his face changing slightly.

"Looks like I underestimated them after all."

Jiang Shi's tone was icy, cracking his neck with crisp popping sounds, not fearing but instead approaching the dark forest proactively.

The Wind King and Rain King were taken aback, all glancing sharply at the forest.

Deep within the forest, sand and stones suddenly flew, waves of oppressive and obscure terrifying aura emanating, bringing unbearable pressure, like invisible mountains rapidly bearing down.

There are masters!

Clap! Clap! Clap!

Suddenly, a string of cold applauding sounds rang out from the dark forest, clear and resounding, echoing across the area.

Silhouettes of burly figures step by step emerged from the forest, each with cold, electrified stares directed at Jiang Shi and company, numbering seven or eight people.

Without exception, all were Blood Exchange Old Monsters!

The leader was none other than...

The Kong Clan Supreme Elder!

Kong Daorong!

"Fortunately, I didn't trust you and tracked you, and luckily, you have the mind mark left by our Clan Leader, otherwise, you might have spoiled great plans and even escaped unharmed."

Kong Daorong's voice was cold as he walked at the forefront, dressed in purple-black clothing billowing without wind, with sharp and cold eyes directed at Jiang Shi:

"Jiang Shi, you truly surprise me!"

"Really?"

Jiang Shi spoke calmly, looking at Kong Daorong and the experts by his side, saying, "I didn't expect to be so honored tonight, to have so many brothers from the Kunzi Battalion tending to me, truly worth a lifetime."

"Jiang Shi!"

One of the burly men barked coldly, shouting, "You're facing death, still putting on airs, why not kneel down and beg Elder Kong for forgiveness?"

"Shut up!"

Jiang Shi replied coldly, his eyes sharp as electricity, casting a glance at the burly man, he said icily, "Who are you to speak recklessly before me, just a worthless scum to be killed with a slap!"

"What did you say?"

The burly man's eyes widened in shock and anger, utterly furious.

He was a significant elder of the Celestial Sword Sect, yet was denounced as a worthless scum to be killed with a single slap!
