Nine Levels of Vein Opening!
These four words were like four massive boulders, heavily smashing into the hearts of everyone in the Wen Dao Sect, stirring up endless waves.
Even Wei Zhengyang, Dongfang Bo, and Second Senior Sister were no exception!
What surprised them, of course, was not this Realm, but the person who reached this Realm and the time it took him!
Within the Wen Dao Sect, Jiang Yun was somewhat well-known; whether it was his exceptional performance during the three entry trials or his tenacious resistance against Fang Yuxuan during the re-evaluation competition, many people remembered his name.
Therefore, almost everyone who knew his name was incredibly clear that when Jiang Yun joined the Wen Dao Sect, he was an out-and-out Mortal.
During the re-evaluation, he only displayed the Realm of Tongmai Realm Third Level, yet now, only a little over three months have passed since the re-evaluation, and he has already reached the Tongmai Realm Ninth Level!
In other words, Jiang Yun only used a little over ten months to Cultivate from a Mortal to the Tongmai Realm Ninth Level!
What kind of Cultivation speed is this?
Let alone in the history of the Wen Dao Sect, even in the entire history of Cultivation, those who possess such astonishing Cultivation speed are absolutely few and far between, one in a billion!
“Buzz buzz buzz!”
Just as everyone was shocked, above Hidden Peak, four streaks of rainbow light suddenly appeared again, and four figures stepped out from within, their eyes bursting with brilliant light, staring intently at Jiang Yun.
These four people were Lan Huazhao, the Peak Master of Tianfu Peak, Shen Zhanrong, the Peak Master of Red Dust Peak, Peng Shou, the Peak Master of Five Elements Peak, and Sha Jingshan, an Elder of Hundred Beast Peak!
Excluding the Peak Master of Hundred Beast Peak, four of the Asking Dao Five Peaks' Peak Masters had now appeared above Hidden Peak, and with Sha Jingshan, that made five Dongtian cultivators!
Such a scene, let alone the outer Sect and Utility Disciple watching below Hidden Peak, even the Inner Sect Disciple of the various peaks had almost never seen.
These four Dongtian cultivators who appeared later were naturally those who had previously felt a sense of appreciation for Jiang Yun's talent and intended to take him as a Disciple.
If they had been somewhat hesitant before, now, after hearing Jiang Yun announce his Cultivation Realm, that hesitation immediately vanished, so they all rushed over at the fastest speed, fearing that others would get ahead of them.
“Haha, good kid, as expected of someone from my Hidden Peak, very good!”
Xuanyuan Xing’s loud laughter suddenly rang out, and he reached out and patted Jiang Yun’s shoulder hard, then turned to look at Wei Zhengyang and said, “Peak Master Wei, now, do you have anything else you want to say?”
At this moment, the person whose mood was most agitated was Wei Zhengyang.
He never expected that Jiang Yun would possess such astonishing Cultivation speed, having already Cultivated to the Tongmai Realm Ninth Level.
.E
If it were in another setting, with such a talent appearing, he would definitely spare no effort to take him as a Disciple.
However, now, that was naturally impossible, and what made him even more frustrated was that his intention to kill Jiang Yun today would likely not be realized.
One must know that throughout the history of the Wen Dao Sect, the most astonishing Cultivation speed belonged to Fang Yuxuan, who is now the foremost Inner Sect Disciple.
However, the Cultivation speed Jiang Yun displayed now trampled Fang Yuxuan underfoot, creating a whole new level.
Such a Disciple would be fully nurtured in any Sect, just like Fang Yuxuan back then.
So, even if Jiang Yun killed Zheng Yuan and violated the Sect rules, considering his limitless future prospects, his punishment would only be a formality, a mere show.
Perhaps this matter seems unfair, but there’s no helping it; this is the Law of the entire world—the strong prey on the weak!
Hearing Xuanyuan Xing’s words, a cold light flashed in Wei Zhengyang’s eyes, and he said coldly, “What if he’s at Tongmai Realm Ninth Level? Let’s not even discuss whether his Realm is real or fake, but even if it’s real, can he ignore the Sect rules and arbitrarily kill fellow Disciples just because of this?”
“Everyone here today witnessed Jiang Yun killing Zheng Yuan. As the Peak Master of Sword Dao Peak, if I don’t seek justice for my Disciple, I would be letting down the deceased Zheng Yuan, and from then on, who would dare to join my Sword Dao Peak?!”
“If Jiang Yun is easily let off just because his Cultivation speed is extraordinary, it will dishearten the tens of thousands of Disciples of my Wen Dao Sect!”
“Don’t say he’s at Tongmai Realm Ninth Level; even if he’s at the Ninth Level of the Blessed Land Realm, a killer must pay with his life! Today, whoever dares to stop me, don’t blame Wei for being impolite!”
As he spoke, Wei Zhengyang’s gaze slowly swept across the faces of Lan Huazhao and the other four, clearly, these words were meant for them.
How could these four not understand? Their expressions immediately became a bit unsightly. Although they wanted to retort, what Wei Zhengyang said was the truth.
Jiang Yun violated the Sect rules first, and Wei Zhengyang seeking justice for his Disciple was a matter of course. Let alone the four of them, even if the Sect Master stepped forward, he would have nothing to say.
It must be said that Wei Zhengyang was indeed very clever, and his words were highly inflammatory. After his words fell, many Disciples gathered around Hidden Peak immediately voiced their support.
“Peak Master Wei is right! Maybe Jiang Yun is lying. Cultivating from a Mortal to Tongmai Realm Ninth Level in ten months? Impossible!”
“Even if it’s true, what if his Cultivation speed is fast? Does that mean he can casually kill fellow Disciples?”
“Exactly! This matter must be explained to us, otherwise, will anyone with a slightly faster Cultivation speed be able to ignore the Sect rules in the future?”
“Then what about us, those with slow Cultivation speed? Won’t we have to be careful at all times, perhaps dying an unnatural death someday?!”
“Yes, a life for a life, he must be severely punished!”
Gradually, all the voices converged into four words—Severely punish Jiang Yun!
Hearing the voices of the many Disciples, a cold sneer flashed in Wei Zhengyang’s eyes, while Lan Huazhao and the others’ expressions became even gloomier.
Although they were Peak Masters and Elders, they couldn’t truly ignore the attitudes of so many Disciples. After all, public anger is hard to defy, so at this moment, they were in a difficult position, caught between a rock and a hard place.
Xuanyuan Xing, however, didn’t care about that. He gave a cold laugh and was about to speak when Dongfang Bo, who was beside him, spoke first, cupping his fists and bowing, “Peak Master Wei, Jiang Yun is from my Hidden Peak. If he truly violated the Sect rules, we naturally won’t cover for him. However, the three of us have just returned to the Sect and are not clear about the causes and consequences of these matters. How about this, after the three of us investigate thoroughly, we will give Peak Master Wei a satisfactory answer?”
How could Dongfang Bo not see that there must be something fishy about the whole matter? So he wanted to temporarily delay for time. As long as they avoided today, there would naturally be a way to alleviate the situation.
Wei Zhengyang smiled slightly and said, “As long as the Disciples within the Sect have no objections, I naturally have no objections either.”
The surrounding Disciples immediately shouted again.
“No, the result must be given today!”
“Exactly! If we wait a few days, this matter might just be downplayed!”
“Severely punish Jiang Yun!”
Wei Zhengyang shrugged and said, “Did you hear that? Even if I wanted to agree to you, unfortunately, the tens of thousands of Disciples of my Wen Dao Sect refuse to agree. Now, hand over Jiang Yun!”
As his words fell, Wei Zhengyang slowly raised his hand, and a powerful aura instantly permeated the entire Hidden Peak.
Xuanyuan Xing sneered again, taking a step forward to block Jiang Yun’s path, while Dongfang Bo shook his head and no longer spoke, and along with Second Senior Sister, who had remained silent, he also moved, closing the distance between himself and Jiang Yun.
The three of them formed a triangle, protecting Jiang Yun in the center!
Clearly, no matter what Wei Zhengyang said, no matter what the attitude of the many Disciples was, for the three of them, since Jiang Yun was from Hidden Peak, they would absolutely not allow anyone to attack Jiang Yun!
Looking at the three figures around him, who protected him like three great mountains, a strong warmth rose from the depths of Jiang Yun’s heart. He took a deep breath, forcing back the tears that were about to spill, and wanted to step out.
No matter what, this was something he had caused, and he didn't want to implicate Dongfang Bo and the other two because of it.
But just as Jiang Yun was about to step forward, another calm voice rang out in everyone’s ears: “I’ve long heard that you, Wei Zhengyang, are protective of your own, but my Hidden Peak is even more protective. I want to see, today, who dares to touch anyone from my Hidden Peak!”
