Chapter 72

In the cultivation world, one explosive piece of news after another shook the Holy Hall, the top urban rebirth novel rankings.

The Flame Departure Sect urgently summoned all its disciples, declaring that the entire sect would enter seclusion.

The Evil Spirit Hall, on the other hand, dispatched all its disciples to search for someone. Ling Dushan, the head of the Evil Spirit Hall, was scolded so harshly by the sect leader that he could barely hold his head up.

"You fool, the Supreme Ancestor is right in front of you. If you could bring him back, tell me, would the Overlord Hall still stand a chance? I..."

Tan Yingtian wished he could kick the fool Ling Dushan away. Who else but the old ancestor of the evil cultivators could complete this sword technique? This fool usually thought he was quite smart, but he always failed at critical moments.

"Master, the disciples are all searching."

"The old ancestor is like a dragon, seen but not fully revealed. Since he has appeared, it must be a sign of our connection. I believe we will meet again," he said, ranking among the top 10 novels.

Everyone in the Evil Spirit Hall was excited, and Tan Yingtian was particularly thrilled. If they could bring the old ancestor back to preside, the three major sects would be nothing.

If these two events were just unusual movements of the five major sects, causing a stir in the Small Thousand World, then in the Tongming Realm, something even more explosive happened, ranking among the top ability novels.

The Mad Sword Sect was massacred.

The leader of the Mad Sword Sect, Ba Ba, was a sword cultivator at the 40th level, with extraordinary sword skills. He had over 200 disciples, including outcasts from other sects and the dregs of the cultivation world, but all were quite powerful.

With the support of the Ten Thousand Demons Sect, no one in the Tongming Realm dared to provoke them. Not long ago, they even massacred Tongming City, and the various forces did not react, essentially recognizing the Mad Sword Sect's dominance in the region.

However, the Mad Sword Sect was completely wiped out in one night, a feat even a grandmaster-level cultivator would find difficult.

Ba Ba's head was cut off, and it seemed he was killed before he could even act. The opponent's strength was unimaginable, as detailed in the complete chapters of the Holy Hall.

Could it be the Sword God Xue Zhongnan?

Impossible.

The Holy Hall's sect leader was in seclusion, and given Xue Zhongnan's character, he would have only killed Ba Ba, not all 231 members of the Mad Sword Sect.

The weapon used was something like a hammer, suggesting a terrifying physical cultivator.

Some said the Mad Sword Sect was punished by heaven for their evil deeds, and no matter what, it was a joyous event in the Tongming Realm, as detailed in the complete chapters of the Holy Hall.

Others speculated that a senior cultivator couldn't stand it anymore and took action. Given the senior's hatred of evil, it might be a holy cultivator.

For a time, Tongming City saw an influx of various cultivators with different motives, ranking among the top ability novels.

Some wanted to seize the power vacuum left by the Mad Sword Sect, some hoped to find a master, and others were looking for someone.

The situation became even more chaotic with the involvement of the Evil Spirit Hall. Tongming City was not part of the Evil Spirit Hall's territory, and their reckless actions drew attention from multiple parties, all speculating who the person behind the massacre was.

The Evil Spirit Hall's involvement was one thing, but when the Holy Hall joined the search, it caught the attention of the entire cultivation world. Why was the Holy Hall involved?

Soon, the explosive news came: the Sword God Xue Zhongnan had emerged from seclusion.

"Brother Lei, are you sure?" As the sect leader of the Holy Hall, Xue Zhongnan was truly a great cultivator, %% ranking.

In terms of seniority, Lei Ting was Xue Zhongnan's senior brother.

"Master, my feeling is never wrong. I always thought he had already attained enlightenment and ascended, but it turns out he is still in the mortal world."

Lei Ting was very excited, as he had a deep connection with Mo Shan.

Xue Zhongnan nodded. "I sensed a heavenly tribulation in the direction of Mingkong Mountain, but it seemed incomplete. It appears he is on the verge of ascension. If we have the chance to meet, I will certainly seek his guidance."

Those who can reach the realm of ascension usually choose to ascend, but there are always exceptions who choose to stay in the Small Thousand World. However, they must suppress their power, and it seems this person has reached a level where he can deceive the heavenly tribulation. For Xue Zhongnan, who yearns for ascension, any guidance would be worth a decade of seclusion.

In the path of cultivation, experience is undoubtedly the most valuable.

Unfortunately, this truly requires fate. As the sect leader of the Holy Hall, even if he yearned for it, he couldn't say much. But Lei Ting was different. Although he was a disciple of the Holy Hall, he had a connection with that person. Even a slight hint could help Lei Ting break through his long-standing bottleneck, which was evident.

Envy aside, he could only marvel at the opportunity.

Meanwhile, Wang Meng and Suo Ming had returned to the Thunderlight Hall. For Suo Ming, the world was simple: Wang Meng was his faith.

Wang Meng's return did not cause much of a stir in the Thunderlight Hall. Now, Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaojiang were the idols of the Thunderlight Hall, but for the two of them, Wang Meng's safe return was the happiest thing.

Suo Ming felt a sense of home at the Hengshan Hall, where they were just drinking buddies. But here, everyone welcomed him. To Hu Jing and the others, anyone recognized by Wang Meng was their friend.

During this time, Hu Jing and Zhang Xiaojiang, with the support of the elders and abundant resources, made significant breakthroughs. Zhang Xiaofat reached the 14th level, and Hu Jing unprecedentedly reached the 15th level, creating a miracle for the Thunderlight Hall. Zhou Qian reached the 16th level, and Suo Ming was another pleasant surprise.

His arrival delighted Wang Bo, an elder of the Thunderlight Hall. As an elder, he couldn't poach disciples, which would be embarrassing, but if someone chose to join on their own, it was a different story. Suo Ming, a diligent and hardworking physical cultivator at the 17th level, became a treasure for Wang Bo.

The Thunderlight Hall disciples also felt a surge of vitality. Although their strength was still lacking, they could see hope. No one is born strong; everyone starts weak and grows stronger over time.

Hu Jing's wisdom and decisiveness, combined with Zhang Xiaojiang's charisma, truly revitalized the Thunderlight Hall. Although Zhou Qian was lazy, he sometimes helped out. The atmosphere in the Thunderlight Hall was unique.

After returning, Wang Meng still spent time in the thatched cottage with Zhou Feng, enjoying the peace. Now, the Thunderlight Hall was full of confidence, preparing to make a stunning performance in the grand competition. To achieve this goal, everyone was busy preparing.

Wang Meng and Zhou Feng leisurely played chess. The sealing of his divine essence indeed caused Wang Meng a lot of trouble. For example, with the divine essence, Wang Meng could directly convert the black wood essence, but now he had to refine a pill. Although he was close to Zhou Feng, it wasn't to that extent, and explaining it would be complicated.

Halfway through the game, Zhou Feng was about to give up again. "Do you know how to respect your elders? Can't you give me a little face?"

Wang Meng didn't get angry, just smiled. "Old Zhou, how about this: you teach me alchemy, and I teach you chess. What do you say?"

Zhou Feng's face lit up, but he quickly composed himself, pretending to think deeply. "Hmm, I teach you alchemy, and you teach me chess. Fair trade, sounds good, sounds good."

In reality, he was overjoyed. If not to drag you into it, why would I suffer here? Finally, you're hooked.

Ever since that woman Lu Yun picked up a cheap disciple, she has been constantly annoying me. This time, I'll show her what a true genius is.
