Cloud Mirror Mountain.

Cloud Gathering Mountain, peaks like mirrors.

Cloud Mirror Mountain got its name from this. In the Northern Domain, it's a renowned mountain, picturesque and stunning.

After galloping for nearly two hours, Wang Junze and Lu Qing arrived at the foot of Cloud Mirror Mountain. Raising their heads, they could see the main peak of Cloud Mirror Mountain, indeed soaring into the clouds like a mirror, leaving a deep impression.

"The mountains are steep, with only one path leading up, easy to defend and hard to attack! Below the Heaven-Stepping Realm, being trapped on the mountain is even more dangerous than Broken Dragon Cliff!"

Lu Qing glanced up and spoke calmly.

"???"

Wang Junze, like Lu Qing, was visiting Cloud Mirror Sect for the first time. However, Wang Junze first saw the picturesque scenery of Cloud Mirror Mountain, while Lu Qing noticed the treacherous terrain and the dangers of entering the mountain.

Pausing slightly, Wang Junze couldn't help but chuckle wryly, "Brother Lu, is this the difference between ordinary people like me and your kind?"

"Haha!" Hearing this, Lu Qing couldn't help but laugh, "You've just experienced too few dangers, and... when you reach the Heaven-Stepping Realm, so-called natural barriers lose their meaning, it's no big deal."

Heaven-Stepping? For Wang Junze, it's truly a distant goal.

"Who are you? Our sect has closed the mountain, please leave!"

As they spoke, disciples from Cloud Mirror Sect noticed Wang Junze and Lu Qing and approached to drive them away.

With his hands behind his back, Lu Qing looked up at the sky, clearly unwilling to engage, leaving Wang Junze to negotiate.

Shaking his head, Wang Junze didn't bother with Lu Qing, stepped forward slightly, clasped his fists and said, "Wang Junze, here to visit my sister Wang Xin, please grant me this favor."

"Wang Xin's brother? You're that renowned prodigy of the Wang Family?"

Upon hearing this, several Cloud Mirror Sect disciples couldn't help but change their expressions, immediately realizing the situation.

No choice, Wang Junze has become too famous lately, especially in Cloud Mirror Sect. Those sect disciples who escaped from Broken Dragon Cliff hold him in high regard, his name already well-known in the sect.

"I'm no longer associated with the Wang Family, nor do I dare claim the title of prodigy, just here to visit my sister." Wang Junze answered softly.

"It's not convenient now! Our sect has closed the mountain, no one is allowed to enter."

With only a moment's hesitation, the leading Cloud Mirror Sect disciple directly refused.

"What if I insist on going up?"

In the murky light, Wang Junze sensed traces of panic in the disciple's demeanor, growing uneasy, he placed his hand on his sword hilt, coldly asking.

"You dare!"

Upon hearing this, the Cloud Mirror Sect disciples' expressions changed dramatically, and with a clatter, weapons were drawn, pointing at Wang Junze in full alert, angrily shouting, "Wang Junze, do you intend to oppose our Cloud Mirror Sect?"

"Apologies!"

His eyes flashed with cold intent, Wang Junze spoke gravely.

Almost at the moment of speaking, the Dragon Roar Sword suddenly drew, in an instant, only a flash of the sword light was seen. Those Cloud Mirror Sect disciples almost had no chance to react, their wrists were quickly struck, their weapons flying out from their hands.

Laozi!

The Chess Swordsmanship second move, the sword strikes like Laozi, shattering the heavens!

Coupled with recent physical tempering, Wang Junze's speed was much faster than before. This sudden sword strike was so quick that these ordinary Condensing Realm disciples couldn't react at all.

This was still Wang Junze holding back, otherwise, just one sword strike would be enough to kill those disciples.

As Wang Junze made his move, Lu Qing observed the scene, yet once the disciples were defeated, he didn't spare them a glance, stepped onto the mountain path, heading upwards.

Although silent, Lu Qing was actually quite pleased with Wang Junze's swordsmanship.

Whether it was the power of the strike or the sense of proportion, it was executed perfectly.

Currently, with the unclear situation on the mountain, it's definitely not advisable to take lives; injuring them lightly to force them to give way is undoubtedly the best choice.

Indeed, this sword strike intimidated the Cloud Mirror Sect disciples, preventing them from being heavily injured, but scaring them enough that none dared to intervene, leaving them to watch Wang Junze and Lu Qing ascend the mountain.

"Senior brother, what now?"

Watching Wang Junze and Lu Qing's figures disappear, the other disciples couldn't help but ask, "Shouldn't we send a warning?"

"A warning my ass! Behind Wang Junze are the Profound Moon Sword Sect and the Judgment Department, why would small figures like us provoke him and court death?" said the leading disciple, cursing, "We've tried to stop him, suffered injuries, we've done what we should, the rest of it... what does it have to do with us?"

...

Cloud Mirror Mountain, peak!

All the elders and True Disciples of Cloud Mirror Sect gathered outside the peak hall, the atmosphere exceptionally tense.

"Wang Xin, have you colluded with the Deserters, confess truthfully!"

In the crowd, Wang Xin was pointed at with blades by several disciples, her breath uneven, clearly having fought earlier.

"Me colluding with Deserters to kill my master? Bah, what nonsense, the audacity to invent such lies!"

Holding a blade single-handedly, Wang Xin looked up at the elder in front of her, sneering, "But Elder Yang, how did you know about Lu Qing going to the Wilderness?"

"What a joke! Experts like Lu Qing are always watched, someone saw when you entered the city, isn't it odd for this elder to know?" The elder surnamed Yang replied coldly.

"When entering the city, it was just dawn, besides several city guards, there were no others, who saw it? Elder Yang, could it be you know these guards?" Wang Xin said indifferently.

"That's your one-sided story, who can testify?" Elder Yang reprimanded grimly, "But earlier, you proposed entering Broken Dragon Cliff! Also, Lin Yong and Lin Kaiwei claimed your brother teamed with Deserters to fight them, if not colluding with Deserters, why would they help him?"

"It's all clearly evident; you siblings colluding with Deserters killed Elder Han! Such treacherous disciples deserve a thousand cuts!" Slightly bowing, Elder Yang turned to the Sect Leader of Cloud Mirror Sect, "Sect Leader, I propose apprehending Wang Xin, using severe punishment to uncover the truth! Once everything's revealed, send a message to the Judgment Department, and apprehend Wang Junze too!"

"Elder Yang, aren't your words contradictory?" Wang Xin's lips curled in a mocking smile, "On one hand claiming my brother colludes with Deserters, on the other saying Lu Qing came to the Wilderness and saved us, what, is Lu Qing colluding with us too?"

"This is exactly your cunning! Lord Lu Qing, caught off guard, deceived by you, it happens." Elder Yang asserted, "I've long said your brother's suspicious! If not colluding with Deserters, how did he suddenly succeed in Opening Veins and become a prodigy despite his Innate Wasted Vein?"
