Wen Zhong had just returned to camp when he discovered that his mount, the ink-black Qilin that had been with him for hundreds of years, was missing.
No matter how Wen Zhong called out, the ink-black Qilin did not respond.
Wen Zhong felt an ominous premonition, and his divine sense immediately covered the area within a thousand miles of the Fire Cloud Cave.
Finally, in the grass of a mountain ravine, his divine sense saw the ink-black Qilin's round, plump head, as well as its disemboweled innards!
“Who dared to kill my ink-black Qilin?”
Everyone knew that the ink-black Qilin was his mount. To dare to kill it directly was clearly a sign of disrespect.
Wen Zhong's hair stood on end in fury, and he teleported to the spot.
He was just about to look for clues, but he inexplicably felt that the surroundings were familiar.
As his divine sense swept through the area, Wen Zhong realized that the area above him, a few hundred feet up, was exactly where they had all been eating roasted meat just now.
“So, the roasted meat we were eating was my mount, the ink-black Qilin?”
Wen Zhong froze, his mind blank, as he realized that he had unknowingly eaten a lot of it.
“Damn it! It was that Shi Hao who killed my mount, I won't let him get away with it.”
Wen Zhong roared, his hands already wielding a pair of golden whips shaped like male and female dragons, and he instantly charged towards Shi Hao's direction!!
Shi Hao, who was on his way home and had no idea what was happening, looked up when he sensed the change in the sky. Suddenly, he saw two hundred-meter long golden dragons flying towards him!
“What's going on?”
Facing the sudden attack, Shi Hao was also baffled.
“Don't harm Shi Hao.”
Just as Shi Hao was about to take out his weapons to fight back, a thin figure stood in front of him. Facing the two giant golden dragons, she didn't show any fear on her slightly childish face.
“Xiao Ling, you… you get out of the way.” Shi Hao felt a wave of warmth in his heart as he saw Wu Ling standing in front of him.
“Shi Hao, I'll protect you.” Wu Ling turned her head and gave Shi Hao a reassuring look. Then she took a deep breath, and her slender body began to swell.
“Humph, you're asking for it.” Wen Zhong saw that Wu Ling dared to do this, and he didn't hold back. The two golden dragons roared as they continued to attack Wu Ling.
Shi Hao finally saw Wen Zhong in the clouds and understood the identity of the attacker. So, that “Wang Xin” had ordered him to kill him, but he didn't think he had offended him.
The wind howled, and the heavens changed color.
However, just as the two dragons were about to hit Xiao Ling, her body suddenly expanded by a hundredfold, transforming into a giant several hundred feet tall, standing in front of Shi Hao.
“It's actually ‘Forming a Giant Avatar’, a divine ability from the ‘Nine Revolutions Profound Skill’.”
Shi Hao was surprised to see that Wu Ling, who had only been practicing the ‘Nine Revolutions Profound Skill’ for a few days, had already learned ‘Forming a Giant Avatar’, which was recorded in it. Sure enough, people are different.
“Boom!” The two whips slammed into Wu Ling, and she used her flesh and blood to withstand Wen Zhong's terrifying attack, powered by his magic.
Pff!
In an instant, two terrifying bloodstains appeared on Wu Ling's back. Wen Zhong's Taiyi Jinxian attack almost shattered her body, causing her to suffer serious injuries.
“Shi Hao run away.” Wu Ling, having returned to her original form, spat out a mouthful of blood.
Seeing that Xiao Ling was seriously injured but still concerned about him, Shi Hao was moved and felt a little heartache. He comforted her, “Don't worry, he's not worthy of killing me?”
Although Shi Hao didn't know what realm the other party had cultivated to, since Wu Ling, who had only been practicing the ‘Nine Revolutions Profound Skill’ for a short time, could still block his attack, he wasn't particularly strong!
“Humph, I'd like to test your skills!”
Wen Zhong didn't dare to ignore the seemingly ordinary Shi Hao in front of him.
He mobilized the magic in his body, using some kind of secret technique that allowed his cultivation, which was only at the later stage of Taiyi Jinxian, to be infinitely enhanced to a perfect state!!
“Boom!”
The clear sky seemed to rumble with a dry thunderclap. Wen Zhong combined his golden double whips into one, transforming them into a purple lightning bolt that attacked Shi Hao.
Where the lightning struck, space seemed to tear apart, and its terrifying power was like a heavenly punishment descending from the heavens.
“Whizz!”
But there was a sword light that was even faster! It slashed across the sky, directly cutting the lightning in half!
Wen Zhong was also shocked. His attack, comparable to a Da Luo Jinxian's, was cut off!?
“You dare to hurt my master!”
An angry shout came from far to near, and Wen Zhong discovered that a beautiful fairy had appeared in front of Shi Hao.
She wore a golden crown, and her fiery red fairy dress swayed gently with her steps, like a cloud dancing in the air.
Her Da Luo Jinxian aura, which emanated from her without any effort, also made Wen Zhong wary.
However, Wen Zhong felt like he knew this fairy.
“You are… you are Sister Cai Yun?”
After several confirmations, Wen Zhong exclaimed.
As a third-generation disciple of the Interception Sect, Wen Zhong naturally recognized Cai Yun, a third-generation disciple.
“It turns out to be Senior Brother, but why are you killing Master? Are you trying to betray your master and destroy your ancestors?”
Cai Yun apparently recognized the other party's identity as well, and her expression softened slightly.
“What, he is Master… Master?” Wen Zhong was dumbfounded. How did he not know that the Interception Sect had a second-generation disciple like him?!
“Haha, my sister is Shi Ji! It's a coincidence, I didn't expect you to be a disciple of the Interception Sect as well!”
Cai Yun's return today was a pleasant surprise for Shi Hao. With her here to handle things, the current crisis should be resolved.
“??”
He didn't know that Shi Ji, the outer disciple of the Interception Sect, had a younger brother. But looking at Sister Cai Yun's expression, it didn't seem fake. There was no need for her to lie to him.
“Master, how do you think he should be punished? If I hadn't arrived in time, he would have attacked you.” Cai Yun didn't mean to let Wen Zhong off easily.
Cai Yun, now a Da Luo Jinxian, could suppress Wen Zhong in terms of cultivation. But if they were at the same level of cultivation, Cai Yun would definitely not be Wen Zhong's match in terms of combat prowess.
“Forget it, ignorance is bliss.”
“I just want to know why he came to kill me for no reason.”
Shi Hao sighed. It wasn't without reason that the Interception Sect was almost wiped out in the Conferred Gods Tribulation. The disciples under its banner were a mixed bunch, with all kinds of people.
He didn't know if he could save Cai Yun and her brother in the Conferred Gods Tribulation with his abilities.
“Master, you really don't know.” Seeing the other party's genuine expression, Wen Zhong was stunned.
“Nonsense, if I knew, why would I ask you. The mastermind is Wang Xin. Do you know why he killed me?”
“Earlier, Master killed my mount and also caused me to eat a lot of it. That's why I acted impulsively and offended Master.”
Wen Zhong felt bitter. It seemed that his mount died in vain. He had eaten his mount, and what could he do?
If Master asked him back, “Didn't you eat it too?”, Wen Zhong wouldn't know how to answer.
