“All part of the same sect?”

The disciples of Primordial Sword Sect blinked. It had been said that thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; everything in the world was constantly changing, with very few things remaining unchanged.

But was this change happening too quickly?

Just a while ago, they had almost been devoured by that Monster King. The fear and tension from that ordeal were still fresh in their memories.

Looking at Nie Li’s towering figure and feeling the imposing aura unique to the Monster King, it seemed that fear and tension weren’t such a big deal anymore.

A guardian monster at the Monster King level for the sect, such a feat had never been achieved in the thousand-year history of Thousand Geese City by any sect.

Not to mention Thousand Geese City, even the Thousand Feathers Alliance hadn’t had such capability in the past.

But now, their Primordial Sword Sect actually had a Monster King overseeing the sect’s destiny. What a source of pride!

Not only the elders at the Body Tempering realm, but also those at the Aperture Tempering realm and the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, were feeling emotional at this moment.

Never mind whether this Monster King had intentions of devouring them in the past; that was all water under the bridge. Who hadn’t made mistakes before? Didn’t the Monster King just apologize?

Several Combined Aperture Tempering realm elders looked at the scars on Nie Li’s turtle shell that hadn’t fully healed yet. Their decision to join Primordial Sword Sect this time must have been made after careful consideration!

The disciples of Primordial Sword Sect were secretly excited, while others in Thousand Geese City stared wide-eyed.

Even though some had already guessed it would be like this, hearing it directly from the Monster King’s mouth was a different experience altogether.

Just as Primordial Sword Sect had anticipated, in the thousands of years of Thousand Geese City’s history, no sect had ever been able to subdue a Monster King as their sect’s guardian monster.

And yet, Primordial Sword Sect, which had only recently arrived in Thousand Geese City and had not even been there for a year, first established its dominance by killing two Mountain Sea Realm experts and officially taking over Thousand Geese City.

And now, today, they had completely subdued a Monster King and brought it into their sect.

Previously, there had been hints of Primordial Sword Sect becoming the ruler of Thousand Geese City, especially given Chen Fei’s outstanding achievements.

And now, with the arrival of the Monster King Nie Li, Primordial Sword Sect’s strength instantly expanded, completely surpassing the combined forces of Tang Shouchang and Ning Baizheng’s sects, truly claiming the position of the uncrowned king of Thousand Geese City.

Recently, many had been eager to join Primordial Sword Sect.

The top combat power of Primordial Sword Sect was beyond doubt, but ironically, the number of Combined Aperture Tempering realm and Aperture Tempering realm cultivators within the sect was relatively small, even extremely small.

With so few mid-level combatants and yet an abundance of resources to the extreme, anyone with eyes in Thousand Geese City could see what kind of future awaited them by joining Primordial Sword Sect.

However, after Primordial Sword Sect took over Thousand Geese City, their recruitment process became extremely stringent, and they also made the screening process for those who actively sought to join them very complicated.

Primordial Sword Sect was no longer a place where one could simply join based on a bit of talent or strength.

Many in Thousand Geese City were wavering in their thoughts. With such a powerful sect, even if it was difficult to join, they would find ways to become a part of it.

Many had heard that Chen Fei was not very old, yet he was truly a genius-level figure.

In other words, under Chen Fei’s leadership, Primordial Sword Sect could thrive for at least hundreds of years.

If they didn’t break through to the Mountain Sea Realm, they could probably see Chen Fei leading Primordial Sword Sect forward for their entire lives. Even if they did break through to the Combined Aperture Tempering realm, it would be the same.

Chen Fei stood on top of Nie Li’s head, lightly tapping his right foot, and Nie Li understood, his body starting to shrink voluntarily.

He had maintained his true form all along because Nie Li was still in a state of serious injury. Three days were not enough time for Nie Li’s injuries to fully heal.

Therefore, Nie Li had to constantly maintain his true form to prevent any unexpected incidents from occurring, giving him time to react.

Now that they had arrived at Primordial Sword Sect’s residence and with Chen Fei present, there were no longer any safety concerns, so there was no need to maintain his true form.

After shrinking his demonic body to a few meters in size, Nie Li transformed into human form. Qu Qjngsheng, accompanied by some others, personally led Nie Li to find a courtyard for accommodation.

Tang Shouchang and Ning Baizheng, seeing the subdued aura of the Monster King Nie Li, exchanged glances and both could detect a hint of envy in each other’s eyes.

It was hard not to envy such a situation.

But if one’s strength was insufficient, no amount of envy would change the reality.

The two shook their heads at each other and returned to their respective sect residences.

While they were reluctant to admit it, the fact that Primordial Sword Sect surpassed the combined strength of their two sects was undeniable.

In this situation, they needed to have a certain attitude towards how to interact with Primordial Sword Sect in the future.

In this world, strength is respected. If someone is stronger than you, you must show the appropriate attitude, or it’s easy to stir up unnecessary trouble.

Looking at it from another perspective, the stronger Primordial Sword Sect became, the stronger Thousand Geese City would become as well.

If Thousand Geese City’s strength could truly continue to rise, the resources it could obtain in the future would actually increase more and more.

Their two sects may seem to have suffered some losses now, but in the long run, they might be able to gain more.

Inside the main hall of Primordial Sword Sect, Chen Fei and Min Yanlu resumed their seats.

However, compared to before, there seemed to be a slight change in the atmosphere at this moment, and this change came from Min Yanlu and Gu Danying.

When Gu Danying saw Chen Fei stepping on the Monster King and flying towards Primordial Sword Sect, the shock he felt was even more exaggerated than when he learned that Chen Fei had broken through to the Mountain Sea Realm.

Because the Thousand Feathers Alliance was destroyed by the Monster Kings, and the reason why those who were originally part of the Thousand Feathers Alliance were now scattered and homeless was all thanks to those Monster Kings.

They hated the Monster Kings, but they had to admit their strength.

The terrifying power that day in Thousand Feathers City, like the upheaval of rivers and seas, still lingered in Gu Danying’s mind.

If it weren’t for Min Yanlu burning his soul and lifespan and desperately dragging them out, Gu Danying would have died under the attack of the Monster Kings long ago.

And now, such a powerful Monster King was forcibly subdued by Chen Fei. This contrast made Gu Danying’s mind feel somewhat surreal.

Several years ago, the person who came to seek an audience with the sect master, who was even lower in seniority than herself, had now become such a giant.

A highly unreal feeling kept flashing through Gu Danying’s mind.

Compared to Gu Danying, Min Yanlu naturally wouldn’t feel this way.

However, witnessing Nie Li acknowledging Chen Fei as his master still greatly shocked Min Yanlu.

If, before this, Min Yanlu had some doubts about Chen Fei’s ability to single­handedly kill two Mountain Sea Realm experts, wondering if there were other reasons behind it.

Now, after seeing this scene, Min Yanlu had no more doubts in his mind.

To be able to single-handedly subdue a Monster King, and looking at Chen Fei’s aura, there were no traces of injury at all.

With this level of strength, the likelihood of killing two Mountain Sea Realm experts was very high. The only possibility was that sometimes Mountain Sea Realm experts couldn’t be defeated and would definitely flee.

Just like Min Yanlu himself, who fled when faced with the siege of five Monster Kings.

Did those two Mountain Sea Realm experts really not escape Chen Fei’s pursuit? Or was it because of some other special reason?

“Chief Min, would you like to stay and rest for a few days?” Chen Fei looked at Min Yanlu and smiled.

“That would be much appreciated!”

Min Yanlu hesitated for a moment, then bowed to Chen Fei.

“Chief Min, you’re too kind!” Chen Fei chuckled.

Two days later, thousands of miles away from Thousand Geese City, in Qinxia City.

In a courtyard within the city, Tu Zaichuan held a person’s head in his hand, the body trembling unconsciously, filled with signs of pain and struggle.

After a moment, Tu Zaichuan casually threw the person aside, and by then, the person had already lost all signs of life.

In the courtyard at this moment, there were already five people lying lifeless.

Tu Zaichuan lightly clapped his hands, then looked towards the city, the sunlight casting a cold shadow on his pale face, spreading an indescribable chill around him.

Since narrowly escaping from being chased by the Monster King Nie Li, Tu Zaichuan had been hiding in the deep mountains and forests, practicing and recovering.

Once his injuries had mostly healed, Tu Zaichuan emerged from the mountains and began hunting down isolated Aperture Tempering realm and Combined Aperture Tempering realm cultivators.

As long as he encountered them in the wild and confirmed that they didn’t have any significant background, Tu Zaichuan killed them all, then refined their blood essence into blood spirits for his own use.

The strength of Tu Zaichuan depended to a large extent on the number and quality of his blood spirits.

During his last encounter with the Monster King Nie Li, Tu Zaichuan had almost depleted all his blood spirits, rendering his strength extremely weak.

Not replenishing blood spirits would make Tu Zaichuan restless day and night, fearing that he might encounter enemies at any moment and be killed due to his insufficient strength.

“The Thousand Feathers Alliance has actually been invaded by the Monster Kings working together. It’s truly pitiful.”

A gloomy smile slowly appeared on Tu Zaichuan’s face. These pieces of information were all recently extracted by Tu Zaichuan from the minds of others, not only from the person in the courtyard at this moment but also from elsewhere.

A few days ago, Tu Zaichuan accidentally saw a Mountain Sea Realm expert flying by. The overwhelming aura of power from within made Tu Zaichuan instantly aware of it.

The Bloodline Origin Technique, the primary cultivation method Tu Zaichuan practiced, was ruthless and decisive, focusing on refining blood spirits. Therefore, Tu Zaichuan was extremely sensitive to auras.

Tu Zaichuan didn’t rashly rush up to attack. Killing a Mountain Sea Realm expert would yield high rewards, but the danger was also immense. Despite the fact that this Mountain Sea Realm expert seemed incredibly weak, Tu Zaichuan remained cautious.

Each creature has its own way of survival.

Having practiced for hundreds of years, Tu Zaichuan naturally had his own sources of information. By paying a certain price, Tu Zaichuan quickly locked onto some information about that Mountain Sea Realm expert.

And as Tu Zaichuan dug up several outposts of the Thousand Feathers Alliance in various cities and gained more information through soul-searching, he obtained even more intelligence.

“If I can refine him into the main blood spirit and nurture him for a while, then what fear would I have in facing the Monster King Nie Li!”
