“Xiao Jiu, how was it?”
Seeing Ning Qi open his eyes, everyone looked at him expectantly.
Ning Qi smiled and nodded:
“I’ve gained some insights.”
It wasn't that he was holding back, but rather, such secret arts, even if he taught them hand-in-hand, his Senior Brothers probably wouldn't be able to learn them. Many of the martial arts and secret arts he created could only be used by himself. He could only place some diluted versions in the Scripture Pavilion.
Everyone was overjoyed.
They knew Ning Qi's character; since he said so, he must have gained a lot.
At last, they hadn't wasted the opportunity brought by Master's Breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm.
Everyone was about to speak.
At this moment.
Dragon Mountain Daoist had also opened his eyes. The surrounding Heaven and Earth Power began to 'dissipate' and 'cool down' at a visible speed. There was some regret in his eyes; although he had tried his best to seize this opportunity, his ability was limited, and he couldn't achieve a significant Breakthrough.
In the years to come, he would only be able to rely on his own hard work and cultivation.
However.
Dragon Mountain Daoist was still extremely joyful.
He had already stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm before the age of one hundred and still had over seven hundred years of lifespan. He couldn't say for certain that he would Breakthrough to the Martial Saint Realm, but at least reaching a high Realm within the Heavenly Human Realm was not a problem.
Laughing up to the sky, Dragon Mountain Daoist flew like lightning, then slowly landed in front of Ning Qi and the others.
He had already seen his Disciples.
After so long apart, he missed them a bit.
All the Disciples congratulated in unison:
“We congratulate Master on his promotion to Heavenly Human. From now on, you will soar through the air and roam freely between Heaven and Earth!”
Luo Wentian and Jiang Baishan's eyes were filled with joy.
This was a tremendous boost for the True Martial Sect.
From then on.
With a Heavenly Human Realm expert overseeing it, the True Martial Sect had already joined the ranks of top-tier martial Dao Sects!
The True Martial Sect was already on the path to prosperity. With a Heavenly Human Realm expert overseeing it, with a lifespan of eight hundred years, as long as there were strong individuals in each generation, it would continue to flourish.
On Zhenwu Mountain, all eyes were fervent. At this moment, all the Disciples had already learned the news. The boiling sounds had even reached this side. The atmosphere was even more enthusiastic than during the New Year.
“All of you, rise.”
Dragon Mountain Daoist was also in a very good mood.
“Has everything been well within the Sect during this time?”
He asked with a smile.
But immediately, his smile gradually faded.
Because he had already noticed a hint of difficulty in the expressions of his Disciples.
Dragon Mountain Daoist said calmly:
“Come, tell your Master slowly. With your Master here, you won't suffer any grievances.”
Luo Wentian and Jiang Baishan and the others suddenly felt an urge to shed tears.
Only they themselves knew how much pressure they had been under during this period.
…
Mingwu Pavilion.
Dragon Mountain Daoist sat in the main seat, while the other Disciples sat on either side.
He slowly listened as Luo Wentian recounted the events of this period, his expression remaining calm. However, those familiar with Dragon Mountain Daoist knew that their Master's heart was probably suppressing an extremely heavy rage.
“So, during the time your Master was in seclusion, the True Martial Sect was constantly under attack.”
“Among them, the two waves of attacks by Black Sand Poison Master and the Iron Ridge Three Fiends were the most significant?”
Luo Wentian nodded and said:
“That's right. Black Sand Poison Master was repelled by our combined efforts, but the Iron Ridge Three Fiends' attack was the most dangerous. If it weren't for our True Martial Sect's hidden Origin striking down Flying Sky Eagle, it would have disturbed Master's seclusion.”
He still felt some lingering fear.
If Dragon Mountain Daoist had been forced out of seclusion that time, it would have certainly affected his Breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm, and he might even have damaged his Origin, making him forever unable to reach the Heavenly Human Realm.
Upon hearing this.
Dragon Mountain Daoist was startled, his expression somewhat strange.
Luo Wentian noticed the abnormality in Dragon Mountain Daoist's expression. He cautiously asked:
“Could it be… that our True Martial Sect doesn't have other Gang Yuan Realm experts?”
Everyone's hearts tightened. If the one who killed Flying Sky Eagle that day was not the True Martial Sect's hidden Origin, then it would be somewhat terrifying. In fact, during this time, they had also wondered if it was someone else who killed him, but there was no answer. Since no one had appeared for so long, they could only assume it was a hidden expert of the True Martial Sect.
Dragon Mountain Daoist imperceptibly glanced at Ning Qi. After seeing Ning Qi's incredibly calm gaze in return, he immediately knew who this so-called True Martial Origin was.
He slowly said:
“Don't worry, it's an expert from our True Martial Sect.”
All the Disciples were invigorated. Having received Dragon Mountain Daoist's affirmative reply, they finally felt completely relieved.
But they didn't know that Dragon Mountain Daoist's heart was far from calm at this moment.
He naturally knew about the Iron Ridge Three Fiends.
They were all White Mist Realm experts.

But his young Disciple Ning Qi… actually killed Flying Sky Eagle?
He felt as if he were dreaming.
How old was his young Disciple?
Just seven years old, and perhaps even less than seven at that time.
Yet he could already kill a Gang Yuan Realm expert, which was simply outrageous.
At this moment.
Dragon Mountain Daoist had an urgent impulse to know if Ning Qi had already stepped into the Gang Yuan Realm. A seven-year-old Gang Yuan Realm expert was perhaps too exaggerated, but if he hadn't stepped into the Gang Yuan Realm, yet killed a Gang Yuan Realm expert with Inner Yuan Realm cultivation, it seemed even more exaggerated?
He felt a bit flustered.
But his heart was mostly filled with pleasant surprise and relief.
Every time he thought Ning Qi had reached his limit, this Prodigy of a young Disciple would give him another profound shock.
He hadn't expected.
Ning Qi to grow so fast, already showing signs of being a Dao Protector.
But then.
A surge of killing intent gradually rose in Dragon Mountain Daoist's heart.
If it weren't for Ning Qi, this variable, the True Martial Sect would probably have suffered a disaster that day. It was even possible that several of his Disciples would have died or been injured. At this thought, he became even more furious.
The joy of Breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm had completely vanished.
At this moment, he only wanted to vent his anger for his Disciples.
Dragon Mountain Daoist looked at his Disciples, his words calm and firm:
“Don't worry, the True Martial Sect will not suffer grievances in vain.”
All the Disciples were invigorated.
Dragon Mountain Daoist's prestige was not just talk; it was earned through real battles. He harbored righteousness, but he also did not lack decisiveness.
“The Iron Ridge Three Fiends, Black Sand Poison Master, Purple River Sword Lord, and those behind-the-scenes manipulators with ill intentions, your Master will seek justice for you.”
Luo Wentian hesitated and said:
“Master, what about the Heavenly Human Grand Ceremony…”
Dragon Mountain Daoist waved his hand:
“This is a good opportunity to invite fellow Daoists from Qingzhou, lest others think our True Martial Sect has no one left!”
His words were calm, but filled with killing intent.
“There's no time like the present. Your Master will go to Purple River Sword Sect today. You all stay home and wait.”
With that.
Dragon Mountain Daoist had already stepped out of Mingwu Pavilion.
And then, he directly soared into the sky.
A Heavenly Human Realm expert traveling through the air would not need a full day to reach Purple River Sword Sect.
Everyone watched Dragon Mountain Daoist's disappearing figure in the sky, all smiling wryly. Having just completed his Breakthrough and exited seclusion, he hadn't even had time to drink a cup of tea before heading straight to Purple River Sword Sect. Such a decisive attitude left them dumbfounded.
But in everyone's hearts, there was an immense sense of excitement and pride.
This was their Master, Dragon Mountain Daoist.
The reckoning had begun!
