Chapter 1154 1114: The Winds Rise Again

After the people from the Tianji Sect came and went, Chen Fei had some free time. He stayed at the Base of Flying Leopard for one more day, fulfilling his duties as the Chief Instructor by guiding the members of Flying Leopard. Only then did he leave. Calculating the time, the corpse refining he buried under Emerald Lake should be about done by now...

Meanwhile, three hundred miles northwest of the Capital City, in the Tianji Sect sub-branch located deep within the endless Lingnan Mountains.

An old man wrapped entirely in bandages was attempting rehabilitation training. In his hand, he lifted a giant stone lock, slowly raising it, while one of his legs was assisted by a thick spring cord, moving back and forth with exertion. His face was covered in sweat.

This person was none other than Elder Dong Wanlai of the Tianji Sect.

Beside him sat Tang Hua in a floral robe and Zheng Bingsheng, who was also completely injured, wrapped in bandages, and missing a hand. Their expressions were gloomy, as if they hadn't emerged from the despair of yesterday...

True Person!

It was actually a True Person...

Thinking of how he foolishly acted mighty and sarcastic in front of a True Person, Zheng Bingsheng couldn't help but wish he could crawl into the cracks of the ground, his back tingling with coldness.

Having had such an experience, he surprisingly survived, 'just' losing a hand. It's uncertain whether to say he was lucky or brought it upon himself.

At this moment, suddenly someone entered the venue with a cold demeanor.

The leader was a zombie-faced man, expressionless.

"Elder Li!"

Upon seeing the zombie-faced man, Tang Hua and Zheng Bingsheng couldn't help but straighten their expressions and respectfully greeted. The person was an Elder of the Tianji Sect, like Uncle Dong Wanlai, and he was in charge of discipline and punishment, making him even more intimidating.

"Li Shidi, you're here? Feel free to sit." Dong Wanlai, with sweat all over his head, waved his hand, speaking slowly.

"Yes, Brother Wanlai." The zombie-faced man nodded slightly, coldly saying, "I came because of the matter you mentioned in your message last night... Is this person truly a True Person?"

"See for yourself." Dong Wanlai casually threw out a black object, shaking his head.

"This... isn't this your Black Moon Millstone!?" The zombie-faced man took the black object and looked at it carefully, his eyes twitching with rare emotional fluctuation, exclaiming in shock.

Dong Wanlai's Mid-Grade Magical Artifact, Black Moon Millstone, was indeed a Mid-Grade Magical Artifact. But now, how did it become like this!?

"Yesterday, I attacked that person's shoulder with this Black Moon Millstone, and the person stood unmoving, purely relying on the counterforce, turning my Black Moon Millstone into this..." Dong Wanlai said with a complex expression on his face.

"What!?" The zombie-faced man's expression changed drastically, thoroughly frightened this time.

"Yes, I was scared half to death at the time. Is this really a human body one could possess? Even compared to Elder Mo Yanqing, probably not much different, right?" Dong Wanlai smiled bitterly, somewhat self-mockingly.

Thinking of how yesterday they provoked such a character, it really seemed like asking for death!

The zombie-faced man remained silent, his eyes still containing deep shock and awe.

Could Elder Mo Yanqing achieve this by mere physical strength, turning this Mid-Grade Magical Artifact into such? Dong Wanlai didn't know, and neither did he.

"...Bingsheng." After being silent for a long time, the zombie-faced man suddenly spoke.

"Yes, Elder Li." Zheng Bingsheng was slightly startled, quickly responding.

"A True Person cannot be offended. You are now missing a hand, but it's not enough... Return to the sect to report your reasons, then go to Ice Valley for half a year." The zombie-faced man spoke coldly.

"Ice, Ice Valley!?"

Deep fear was directly visible in Zheng Bingsheng's eyes, but afterward, he fiercely nodded, saying gloomily, "Yes, Elder Li. I understand. I will prepare to set off and return to the sect."

"Take care of your injuries before leaving." Dong Wanlai suddenly spoke at this time, saying again, "Li Shidi, inform the other sects. If this honorable person is really determined to destroy that White Snake Sect Sub-branch, I'm afraid things are going to get chaotic..."

In the Giant Spirit Secret Realm, those who cooperated with the Government of Huaxia weren't only their Tianji Sect. There were two or three others. This matter involves a wide range, so they must notify them to prevent unforeseen circumstances early.

"Yes, I know what to do. If that's so, Brother Wanlai, I'll take my leave first..."

The zombie-faced man left directly.

Soon, the matter about Chen Fei spread madly within their 'circle.'

Among the sects and families that set foot in Huaxia in the Giant Spirit Secret Realm, they exchanged the following dialogue:

"Hey, did you hear? There's actually a True Person on Earth."

"True Person? You must be dreaming. How could that be..."

"You're the one dreaming, aren't you? The news from the Tianji Sect, Chen Fei of Jiangnan, Chief Instructor of Flying Leopard, is a real True Person character!"

"Are you sure? Is this not a joke?"

"It's not a joke! Plus, I heard this person is threatening to destroy the White Snake Sect Sub-branch!"

"What! Destroy the White Snake Sect Sub-branch, is he crazy? The White Snake Sect is not a joke..."

"Knowing it's not a joke, this time it's probably going to be a big mess."

"Chen Fei of Jiangnan!"

...

The term True Person itself represents a meaning of awe. 'Earth has no True Person' was also unanimously recognized by all sects and families in the Giant Spirit Secret Realm, but now, Chen Fei's sudden emergence had shaken them.

And the most restless group was, of course, none other than the members of the White Snake Sect.

Lingnan Mountains, inside the main base of the White Snake Sect sub-branch.

The atmosphere is extremely tense.

"Sect Hierarch, is that person really at the True Person Realm? Could it be just rumors trying to scare us?" An elderly man asked with a solemn expression, unwilling to believe it. True Person? Such a being could destroy them with a wave of a hand, and now, they've provoked such an existence!?

If they had known earlier, how would they dare to target Ming Daochuan? Isn't this just courting death!?

Under the fierce statue, the White Snake Sect Leader was silent with a furrowed brow. He softly tapped the stone table with his fingers, and after a long pause, said slowly, "A True Person is an extraordinary realm beyond imagination. Even now, at the Peak of Qi Refining Ninth Layer, I'm still far from that realm, so if that person comes..."

"What to do?" Someone couldn't resist continuing the sentence, changing his expression dramatically.

Immediately, the atmosphere in the hall froze to the point of ice.

Yes, what if a True Person comes? What can be done?

No one knows what to do!

"Sect Hierarch, why don't we ask above for help..." Finally, someone succumbed to the enormous pressure, suggesting in a low voice. As a top "Two Sects, Three Sects" in the Giant Spirit Secret Realm, the White Snake Sect had some reputation.

If someone on this small Earth could force them into a helpless predicament, it would only prove how incompetent this group of theirs is for the main base!

Even in the presence of a True Person, shouldn't the might of the White Snake Sect be enough to make them fearful and back off? If it couldn't be done, what else could it be but incompetence!?

So if they indeed report this matter upwards seeking aid, the consequences for this group of people will undoubtedly be unfavorable.

After all, just hearing the name "White Snake Sect," one knows it's not a charity! Idle useless people aren't kept!

The White Snake Sect Leader fell into a long silence, speechless for a while. If it were really reported upwards, undoubtedly, the most miserable one would be him.

"Hmph! A bunch of useless people really embarrasses the White Snake Sect!"

At this moment, a cold voice echoed inside the hall. A terrifying pressure then enveloped the hall, causing everyone's expression to be filled with fear, bending their spines and forcing them to kneel...

Pathetic!

The great hall reverberated with a thunderous rumble, stones falling, the scene horrifying.

Within the scene, a silhouette stepped in from outside the hall.

The aura was truly terrifying!

"A, True Person?" Everyone trembled.

"Are you, Protector Ma?" The White Snake Sect Leader gazed at the newcomer with fear and admiration, speaking in a low voice.

"Hmph! Useless."

The newcomer was clad in a black robe, with a headful of white hair but an unusually youthful face, with a cold-eyed white snake coiled around the waist. He glanced at the White Snake Sect Leader, snorted coldly.

The White Snake Sect Leader shivered, displaying a look of fear, directly kneeling, tremblingly saying, "Sorry Protector Ma, I've embarrassed the sect. But that is a True Person after all, so..."

"Hmph! I'm not here to listen to your excuses. Do you recognize the person here?"

The elder threw a stack of photos, striking the White Snake Sect Leader's face, coldly speaking.

The Sect Leader didn't even dare to get angry at being hit, kneeling on the ground, picked up the photos, and his gaze immediately sharpened.

"R-Return to Protector Ma, this person is the one claiming to destroy our sub-branch, Chen Fei."

"Really?"

The elder smiled coldly, with a faint cruelty spreading in his eyes.

Then, he spoke again coldly, "Well then, we'll deal with him altogether. Debts should be repaid..."

"I'll give you a task. Within three days, under the sub-branch's name, post an invitation to martial arts heroes worldwide, hosting a Martial Arts Conference. Also, create a separate invitation, send it to Chen Fei... If he dares to come, I, Ma Jinlong, will ensure his demise in the Yellow Springs!"

"Protector Ma, are you taking action personally?"

The White Snake Sect Leader's expression filled with joy, promptly saying, "Yes!"

Ma Jinlong Protector Ma is one of the thirteen protectors in their White Snake Sect's main base, superior in rank and status to even the elders!

If such a presence is willing to take action personally and stand up for them, what is there to fear, even against a True Person!?

"Hmph!"

Ma Jinlong snorted arrogantly, hand behind his back, striding away, not even glancing at the pile of useless people ahead. If it wasn't for someone holding onto an old favor asking him to come, how would he appear here with his status today?

"Respectfully seeing off Protector Ma."

Seeing Ma Jinlong leave, the White Snake Sect Leader immediately said respectfully.

"Respectfully seeing off Protector Ma."

Everyone in the hall, snapping out of their daze, hurriedly followed.

"Chen Fei of Jiangnan? True Person? Hehe, wait, this time with Ma Jinlong Protector Ma personally appearing, let's see how long you can withstand?"

The White Snake Sect Leader's eyes gleamed red, cold with a sinister look, laughed coldly.
