My Master Knows It All

Duo Duo, listening to the shouts of the people around her, suddenly burst into laughter, "It's really funny, our master clearly said that in battle, it's possible to be severely injured or even killed. Your fellow disciple also said that if one is killed, it's because of insufficient skills. He even signed his name to it, and now, are you going to deny it?"

Around them, the disciples of the Tianxing Sect remained silent, only looking at Sister Song and saying, "Sister Song, the Tianxing Sect is also a sect from the Eastern Border. Those people are from the Eastern Wasteland, not from our Eastern Border. Sister Song, you cannot ignore this now!"

"Yes, Sister Song, those people from the Eastern Wasteland, they just arrived at our Eastern Border and immediately provoked us, killing one of our own. They clearly don't respect us."

"Sister Song…"

Yang Yudong, listening to the cries of the Tianxing Sect disciples, thought to himself. He was from the Qingfeng Sect, which advocated peace.

But the deceased, Du Xingchen, was from the Tianxing Sect, which favored combat.

Now, with a combat-oriented sect member killed, the other combat-oriented sects would definitely not let this go. If they were to send out more experts, and end up killing these people from the Eastern Wasteland, it would complicate matters.

Those from the Eastern Wasteland too, if they had just claimed victory, he and his people could have praised their prowess and drawn some neutral sects to join the Peaceful Sect. Now they had outright killed someone!

Duo Duo, hearing the words of the Tianxing Sect's people, had an increasingly sarcastic look on her beautiful face.

"So, that's how unreliable you all are in the Eastern Border, disregarding the agreements you've just signed?"

Upon hearing Duo Duo's words, Song Nianzhu finally spoke up, her voice crisp yet conveying an undeniable authority.

"Du Xingchen's fight with Zhu Peng from the Eastern Wasteland was agreed upon in advance, with no considerations of life or death. We in the Eastern Border cannot afford to be seen as sore losers. Enough of this."

The faces of the disciples around her changed instantly.

Indeed, since it wasn't someone from her Qingfeng Sect who died, Song Nianzhu wouldn't care about this matter.

"Fine, since Sister Song won't intervene, we can only report this to the Sect Leader now."

"Let's go!"

Seeing that Song Nianzhu had no intention of intervening, the Tianxing Sect members turned around and flew towards the distance—they needed to report this immediately to the Sect Leader!

Song Nianzhu then turned to Cao Zhen and others, saying, "Gentlemen, although you say you mean no harm by coming to our Eastern Border, I cannot allow you to roam freely. You must understand, right?"

"I understand," Cao Zhen nodded. Putting himself in their shoes, if strong practitioners with Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection entered the Eastern Wasteland, he wouldn't allow them to wander around either— who knows if they'd suddenly go mad and start killing, either ordinary mortals or weaker cultivators.

It's easy to catch them at the border, but once they venture deep into the Eastern Wasteland, which is vast, where would they find them?

Not to mention a few individuals, even the three sects of the East Sea Mirage that attacked their Hundred Peaks Sect and later fled when they realized they were doomed, are still unfound by their Hundred Peaks Sect.

A few experts wanting to hide would be impossible to locate.

Thus, he could understand their stance, but he didn't know what they would do.

"So, Fairy Song, what do you plan to do? Imprison us?"

Song Nianzhu shook her head gently, "That wouldn't be proper hospitality. Naturally, we won't imprison you. However, if you wish to sightsee in our Eastern Border, we will have to assign someone to accompany you."

"A reasonable measure," nodded Cao Zhen.

In the crowd, Yang Yudong heard this and his expression suddenly changed. He whispered, "Sister Song, their cultivation…"

At that moment, he remembered that he had only seen one of their so-called disciple's cultivation level and didn't know the cultivation realms of the other two disciples. He turned to Cao Zhen, asking, "May I inquire, Peak Master Cao, the cultivation realms of your other two disciples?"

Cao Zhen shook his head slightly, "As I said, I have two disciples coming. So…"

He spoke and gently patted Duo Duo's shoulder, "This is also my disciple, at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection."

"Also at Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection?"

The crowd was stunned, another presence at Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection?

This person, merely at the ninth level of Golden Core, how could he possibly have two disciples at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection?

It might be understandable if that simple-minded person was his disciple, since simple-minded folks might be swayed by him. And in the realm of cultivation, it's not unheard of for disciples to surpass their masters while the latter is still alive.

But, one disciple surpassing the master is understandable, two surpassing—that's hard to explain. Moreover, now in the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth, these two disciples are both at the Ten Different Phenomena of Golden Elixir Great Perfection.

He now deeply doubted the credibility of Cao's previous statements.
