The Peerless Beauty Stuck With Me

The battle between the Madman and Zhi Xin left all the cultivators present in complete silence.

There was no way around it; the series of attacks came one after another without a pause, driving towards madness and extremity.

Particularly the Madman, no one expected that he would be so ferocious in battle.

He relied entirely on his fists and body.

Wherever his fist landed, space warped, and Immortal Power burst forth.

It seemed as if every punch he threw was full force, yet he maintained this ferocity for nearly ten minutes, showing no sign of exhaustion.

Too fierce.

As for Zhi Xin, the Buddha Staff in his hand was also formidable.

However, it was clear that Zhi Xin's foundation was not as solid as the Madman's. The gap could be seen from their moves. The Madman's actions were extremely powerful, yet within that power there was a delicate flow, like moving clouds and flowing water.

Meanwhile, though Zhi Xin could counter and dismantle moves without much hindrance, there was always a bit of hesitation between his techniques, clearly missing some depth.

The key was, the Madman was just a third-level Immortal Monarch, a realm lower than Zhi Xin, yet they were evenly matched, which was truly brutal.

"Heavens, what's going on with the Kao Shan Sect?"

"Too brutal, it feels like everyone in their sect can battle across levels."

"Yes, first it was Geng Bucuo, now it's this Madman..."

"My sister has been thinking of joining a sect lately. It seems that the Kao Shan Sect is a good choice."

"They are incredible now, with an Immortal Emperor overseeing them, their recruitment standards must be super high."

...

The cultivators present began whispering, actually, they were secretly admiring the Kao Shan Sect. From now on, the Kao Shan Sect was bound to enter a phase of rapid development.

If one could join the Kao Shan Sect, they would definitely gain immense benefits over time.

"What's the story behind this Madman?" On the mountain peak, Kuzhu stared at the Madman, his brow slightly furrowed.

Logically, the Kao Shan Sect shouldn't have such a formidable foundation. Just like Liu Mingyue said, the Madman didn't seem to have any strong trump cards, but his battle foundation was definitely a level above Zhi Xin's.

Zhi Xin was a genius of the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, exposed to the temple's advanced mental methods since childhood, receiving guidance from temple experts.

Yet despite this, Zhi Xin still couldn't compare with the Madman in terms of foundation.

If the Madman were also a fourth-level Immortal Monarch, Zhi Xin would have already lost by now.

"I don't know." Liu Mingyue shook her head, "What I can tell you is among the nine cultivators Tang Rao brought this time, aside from Lu Jun from Lu Clan and that Dong fanglu guy, the others are all something else."

"What do you mean by something else?" Kuzhu asked.

"Either it's their talent or their background," Liu Mingyue said with a smile.

Kuzhu glanced around, apart from Lu Jun and Dong fanglu, the remaining seven were: Xiao Yun, the Madman, the Lunatic, Fan Xiaohua, Xiao Yue, Geng Bucuo, and Cha Xiangzi.

There's no need to say much about Xiao Yun, both his talent and background are terrifying.

As for Geng Bucuo, Cha Xiangzi, Xiao Yue, and the Madman, they all are terrifyingly talented, but what about the Lunatic and Fan Xiaohua?

One was first-level Luo Immortal, the other second-level Luo Immortal.

To say they are incredibly talented might be an exaggeration.

Then… it's their background that's not simple.

Kuzhu didn't know exactly what was special about these two, but since Liu Mingyue said it, they were probably from some incredibly powerful force.

"Could it be..." Suddenly, Kuzhu's eyes brightened with realization.

A possibility flashed through his mind.

Liu Mingyue looked at Kuzhu, she didn't know what Kuzhu had thought of.

Kuzhu was quite smart, perhaps he had genuinely figured it out.

"Madman, Lunatic... Their faces look somewhat similar, they might be brothers? If they were from a powerful force, there's no way they would immediately join the Kao Shan Sect. There's only one possibility, they have fallen, and the great force they were from has long ceased to exist. The fact that the Madman can suppress Zhi Xin in foundation suggests he was nurtured at an inheritor level, likely a child of the sect leader. Coupled with his ferocious and fearless fighting style..." Kuzhu looked up at Liu Mingyue.

Liu Mingyue didn't respond.

"East Pole, Holy Emperor Sect! Son of Emperor Dong!" Kuzhu murmured.

Liu Mingyue slightly pursed her lips, she had to admit, Kuzhu was very astute.

Of course, whether the Madman and Lunatic are truly the sons of Emperor Dong, Liu Mingyue couldn't be certain either. Like Kuzhu, she had pieced together clues from various angles.

But since both her and Kuzhu's speculations matched, the likelihood of Madman and Lunatic being Emperor Dong's sons increased.

"Oh, this matter has gotten much more interesting. Alright, regardless of the outcome between Madman and Zhi Xin, I will honor the bet I made with you, and will assist Tang Rao unconditionally three times." Kuzhu suddenly said.

"Old man Kuzhu, it seems you're also dissatisfied with those people from the Emperor Sect!" Liu Mingyue laughed.

"Nonsense, this is a matter of right versus wrong. I'm still a cultivator after all." Kuzhu said with a nod.

"Alright, then I thank you in advance." Liu Mingyue giggled, she was focused on creating opportunities and gathering power for Tang Rao. Only this way can Tang Rao stand against the Emperor Sect.

Liu Mingyue knew very well that on her own, she couldn't shake the Emperor Sect.

Thus, she needed to pin her hopes on Tang Rao.

Although Tang Rao's own strength wasn't high yet, Liu Mingyue believed that one day, Tang Rao would soar to the top.

...

"Hey, Madman, keep it up, don't lose. If you lose, Sister Hongxiu won't be polite to you!" Beside Tang Rao, Tu Hongxiu suddenly shouted.

In the midst of battle, the Madman shivered all over, nearly making a mistake.

The Madman was very familiar with Tu Hongxiu's words because she often told him that phrase when they were young.

Clearly, Tu Hongxiu already knew his identity.

Tu Hongxiu was the daughter of the Chef, and in their childhood, both he and the Lunatic were almost constantly following Tu Hongxiu around. Tu Hongxiu was a bit older, and he and the Lunatic were like her little followers...

Recalling past times, the Madman's eyes became slightly red. Those days were filled with joy... back then both father and mother were there; back then, the Holy Emperor Sect at the East Pole was as beautiful as a painting...

But later, everything changed, and it was all because of that person...

After the Madman regained his sanity, he never mentioned vengeance, not even Tang Rao had seen him lose control, but at that moment, Tang Rao felt the colossal killing intent emanating from the Madman, as if it would tear through the heavens.

"Ahhh!!!!!" Suddenly, the Madman opened his mouth and roared with all his might, eyes blood-red, utterly frantic.

The Madman's roar carried no Immortal Power, yet everyone present could hear it clearly.

Oppression, sorrow, sadness, fury, hatred...

The Madman's shout conveyed a multitude of emotions, complex and heart-wrenching.
