Chapter 978: The Firewood Chopper Boy

“Elder, there are several auras surrounding us that are on par with our Sect!”

On the outskirts.

Following closely behind the Training Spirit Sect Master.

A disciple of the Training Spirit Sect shouted in alarm.

Unaware, the Elder turned back and scolded, “Useless! You just noticed now?”

“Stop arguing! Unless it’s something unexpected, it should be people from the other three Great Sects. Our Training Spirit Sect has come out in full force; they couldn’t possibly not notice! They probably think we’ve found the opportunity to discover the Heavenly Mechanism Path! But it doesn’t matter, if they just quietly watch, so be it—if they dare play tricks, I won’t hesitate to burn bridges!”

As if hearing the conversation behind.

The voice of the Training Spirit Sect Master thundered into the ears of the disciples and elders behind him.

Even mentioning “burning bridges” shows that his reasoning has been worn away by the pain of losing his son!

Of course, it’s not that he’s recklessly suicidal, but he has the courage for it!

As he finished speaking.

The distance of several kilometers to the outskirts vanished in the blink of an eye by the Training Spirit Sect Master.

Ahead, in an open space.

The abandoned pavilion in the outskirts entered the Training Spirit Sect Master’s sight.

There, three figures were raising drinks in merriment!

As the Training Spirit Sect Master approached.

On several ruined hills in the outskirts.

The Sects of Penglai and Tomb Raider had also brought their sect’s followers to observe from a distance.

They chose not to hide, knowing it would be futile.

They could sense the Training Spirit Sect, and the others could sense them as well.

From the start.

The struggle for the Heavenly Mechanism Path was destined not to happen in the shadows.

After all, their mutual strength meant none of them could be the silent stalker!

“Sect Master, what do they mean?” On the top of a hill, in the Tomb Raider Sect’s area, an elder stood beside a middle-aged man, frowning in confusion.

“I don’t know, let’s watch! Seems we’ve all been mistaken!”

Looking sideways at another hill in the distance, where only Taoist-attired Penglai was located.

The Tomb Raider Sect Master shook his head solemnly.

“Roar-!”

Just as the Tomb Raider Sect Master spoke.

The Training Spirit Sect Master, already stepping onto the open fields of the outskirts, suddenly roared.

“Roar, roar, roar-!”

“Roar, roar, roar-!”

“Roar, roar, roar-!”

The next moment.

From all directions, the roars of fierce beasts responded in waves, resonating through the skies.

In that single roar.

Besides the Training Spirit Sect.

Disciples with lower cultivation levels in the other three Sects all felt their eardrums tremble.

Some even weakly stumbled from the shock!

The response of the beasts.

Including those kings among the beasts in the Training Spirit Sect, demonstrated just how terrifying the power generated by the sound was.

Following the echo of the roars.

In an instant, the motion of thousands of beasts galloping appeared within everyone’s perception.

With this momentum, under the secret sound amplification of the Training Spirit Sect Master, it seemed that in no time the beasts would be charging forward.

“Respected Elder, what’s wrong with you?”

As the abandoned pavilion came into the eyes of the arriving Kunlun Sect members.

The Sect Master appeared to be in a daze, as if disconnected!

His face was filled with excitement.

His body visibly trembled violently.

His eyes were fixed intently on the distant pavilion.

At this moment, it seemed he had cast aside all worry for the old rascal Supreme!

This sight left many of the Kunlun people staring in shock!

“Benefactor! Benefactor! Benefactor!”

Overcome with excitement, the four-hundred-year-old monster started to mutter.

Immediately after.

He ignored the Training Spirit Sect Master storming towards the pavilion in anger.

Nor did he care about the roaring beasts charging forward.

As if performing a light martial art.

He flew towards the pavilion.

Getting ahead of the Training Spirit Sect Master.

Upon landing in the pavilion at once.

The Kunlun Sect’s Master immediately knelt before the Six Paths.

Tears glinting in his eyes.

He shouted loudly, “Young Zhang Qiyuan pays respects to the Benefactor Immortal!”

After shouting.

He prostrated himself, knocking his head heavily towards the Six Paths.

“Greetings to the Sect Master’s father!”

Beside him, witnessing the Sect Master, also his father, arriving, the old Supreme knelt and shouted devoutly.

“Long time no see, woodcutter boy, hehe—rise!”

Standing from the stone chair, Six Paths smiled.

He seemed oblivious to those from the Training Spirit Sect surrounding the pavilion.

“Yes, Benefactor!”

Kunlun’s Zhang Qiyuan choked slightly, swallowing back his emotions, and stood up.

“Kunlun’s leader, is it your son who slaughtered the abandoned branch of my Training Spirit Sect in the mortal realm?”

Outside the pavilion.

The Training Spirit Sect Master suddenly roared in fury, his face contorted.

With that roar.

The beasts joined in unison, shaking the earth once more!

Although the four Great Sects had no friendships or interactions, and their disciples did not know each other at all.

But for the four Sect Masters, they knew of each other’s existence.

Facing the person who massacred the branch of the Training Spirit Sect standing before Kunlun’s master as his son, the anger exploded in full force!

“What did you say?”

Kunlun’s Zhang Qiyuan was suddenly shocked.

His eyes wide, he shouted in astonishment.

Without waiting for a response from the Training Spirit Sect Master.

He turned furiously towards the old Supreme, saying, “Wretch, did you massacre the entire branch of the Training Spirit Sect abandoned in the mortal world?”

“Yes!” biting his teeth in panic, the old man answered with his head lowered.

“What kind of unresolvable hatred did they have with you?” Kunlun’s leader’s face was shadowed with rage, speaking forcefully.

“None!” the old Supreme answered once more.

“Hahaha! No grudge, yet you wiped out my Training Spirit’s branch! Moreover, my son, Xiao Tai’s death is surely connected to you! He was the most talented person of our Training Spirit Sect in hundreds of years, the most likely to train a Spiritual Beast, yet he’s fallen because of your Kunlun offspring! Hahaha, Kunlun, my Training Spirit Sect will pursue revenge to the end with you! To the end!!!”

Amidst his rational madness.

The Training Spirit Sect Master no longer cared about exposing his relationship with young Tai in front of the Sect.

A call of “my son” revealed a father’s undying vengeance!

His aura surged wildly with those words!

In the outskirts, in an instant, dust and sand swirled up!

In that swirling dust, the speed of beasts charging like lightning increased even more!

The next moment.

Under the influence of the Training Spirit Sect Master.

The beasts that had shrunk to normal size suddenly returned to their form from the Secret Realm!

In the blink of an eye.

All around, beasts stampeded!

As far as the eye could see, it was terrifying beyond words!

For those with trypophobia, just witnessing it would be enough to terrify them into collapse!

From beginning to end.

Qin Fan seemed like an ignored presence.

Whether the Training Spirit Sect Master or the Kunlun Master.

Neither noticed him; in their eyes, he was merely a mundane ant.

Nothing worth their attention.

In such a scenario.

Feeling the tumultuous momentum of the beasts, Qin Fan suddenly stood up from the stone chair.

He picked up the jar of Nu’er Hong wine still half-full.

And suddenly, unexpectedly, hurled it towards the Training Spirit Sect Master’s face.

The speed was so swift that even this leading figure of the Vast World could not react!
