“The mighty are honored, should they yield to me?”

“Heroes reach this point, daring to strive for the lead?”

“Audacious!”

“What nerve!”

In the Green Jade Sect, atop Green Jade Mountain, within the Ancestor Master’s Hall, the sound of table-pounding and angry shouts continuously arose—it was the two Golden Core Cultivators to the left and right expressing their shock and rage.

Only the white-browed elder on the central main seat remained calm and composed as he looked down at Bai Yunzi: “Did he truly say that?”

“Truly so, without a shred of falsehood, I dare not deceive the Supreme!”

Bai Yunzi hastily said, “That person forced me to return and convey these words to the Supreme and the two Elders, after I had endured untold hardships…”

His words seemed on the verge of tears, so vivid and evocative that those who heard could feel sorrowful, and listeners might shed tears.

This was not feigned but a genuine outpouring of emotion.

Although the other party had let him leave Purple Cloud Mountain, just before leaving, that damned “Laoliu” scrupulously searched him, from head to toe, not sparing even a single hair, leaving him thoroughly plundered.

Heavens pity, as a Searching Immortal Envoy who was about to become “irrelevant upon departure,” he had used his remaining authority during this period to extort a considerable graft, hoping to live the rest of his days in comfort upon returning to his sect.

Yet, he encountered these bandits; his Magic Artifacts, Spirit Stones, and Storage Bag were all stripped from him, not a single hair left. Were it not for his late-stage Foundation Establishment Cultivation and the solid support of his actual Mana, he would not have been able to return to the Green Jade Sect at all.

The bitterness of this, how could outsiders know?

“Enough!”

The white-browed elder’s gaze turned icy as he cut off his words: “Repeat the events at Purple Cloud Mountain that day, without error.”

“Yes, yes, yes!”

Feeling the pressure in the elder’s words, Bai Yunzi woke from his daze, no longer daring to ply the Supreme Elder with his miseries, and recounted the events at Purple Cloud Mountain honestly.

“On that day atop Purple Cloud Mountain, a baleful cloud suddenly appeared, thunder descended from the sky, and Array Banners fell in the open, with another Formation forming outside.”

“The Third Elder emerged in shock and rage, wishing to question the origins of the other party. However, the other party did not respond, and as soon as the Formation was complete, they started killing.”

“With just one move, thunder descended from the heavens, breaking through the Purple Cloud Formation. The Third Elder was caught off guard and was blasted into the ground; his life or death is still unknown.”

“After the Formation broke, we disciples scattered in escape. Lin Fengjue and Zhou Xiruo, the two junior disciples, even used a third-tier Talisman Treasure, the Vertical Earth Golden Light, to attempt to break through the enemy’s formation. They were stopped by the thunder, however, and were reduced to ashes on the spot.”

“After that, the person appeared, claiming Purple Cloud Mountain as their own, and even killed a group of Cultivators who were seizing the opportunity to plunder amid the chaos. They then cast some Spell, pressing down thousands of Cultivators inside and outside Purple Cloud Mountain to the ground.”

“Afterward…”

Bai Yunzi recounted the events of that day verbatim, then knelt on the ground awaiting the judgment of the white-browed elder and the two beside him.

The white-browed elder glanced at him but said nothing else: “You may leave.”

“Yes!”

Bai Yunzi felt a chill in his heart, knowing he was no longer qualified to be part of the ensuing conversation and might even be under suspicion. Not daring to say more, he immediately rose and left.

The two Golden Core Cultivators watched him depart before speaking to the white-browed elder: “There shouldn’t be any problems.”

The white-browed elder shook his head: “We must still keep watch, this concerns the Sect, and we cannot afford any mistakes.”

“Yes!”

The two agreed, not daring to delay.

The white-browed elder then calmly analyzed the situation.

“A baleful cloud descending from the sky?”

“A Formation forming outside another?”

“Just one strike, and Purple Cloud is broken, a Golden Core slain?”

“A third-tier Talisman Treasure, Vertical Earth Golden Light, also unable to escape?”

“This…”

The white-browed elder furrowed his brows, and the two at his sides also wore grave expressions.

As Golden Core Cultivators and the absolute core of the Green Jade Sect, they were very aware of the Sect’s strength.

If this person was as formidable as Bai Yunzi described, their Green Jade Sect… might not be a match.

“The Purple Cloud Formation, although arranged as a Formation disk, is nevertheless a Golden Core Great Array and is connected to the Purple Cloud Spirit Vein. If the person could form a Formation from outside and break it with one strike, their Formation skills must be no less than third-tier.”

“Although my Third Junior Brother reached Pseudo Core through cultivation, he has been diligently practicing combat techniques for years. Inside the Great Array, even late-stage Golden Core experts would struggle to defeat him, yet now he’s been killed by this person with one strike.”

“That Zhou girl’s Vertical Earth Golden Light Talisman, I’ve seen it before; it’s indeed a Talisman Treasure. Once activated, it not only allows incredibly fast escape but also has the power to pierce through space. A typical third-tier Formation would not obstruct it.”

“Thus…”

Their words grew more solemn, and in the end, they fell silent, turning to the white-browed elder.

“A third-tier Formation Master, with exceptional skill!”

“Thunder Series of genuine law, unfathomable as gods and demons!”

“Late-stage Golden Core, perhaps even perfected!”

“Thunder Lightning Mana King—Shi Jian!”

“Who exactly is this person!”

The white-browed elder furrowed his brows, looking at the two: “Have you investigated clearly?”

Upon hearing this, the two could only give a wry smile: “We have tried our best to investigate, yet we still do not know this person’s background.”

“We only know that this person first appeared thirty years ago, outside the White Dragon Island Market. He fought against a group of Robbing Cultivators; at that time, he was merely at the Qi Cultivation stage, but with the power of Thunder Series, he faced three enemies alone and still held the upper hand.”

“Later, he traveled around Liang Country, visiting various Cultivation Markets and interacting or trading with various sects. During this time, he was coveted by many Robbing Cultivators and even made a lot of enemies.”

“But his Thunder Series was indeed formidable, and his Cultivation continued to advance. Over the decades, he progressed from peak of Qi Cultivation all the way to late Foundation Establishment. Those Robbing Cultivators who troubled him, as well as forces that held grudges against him, were basically wiped out by him completely.”
