Tang Yao answered Qingchen Laodao's question truthfully.

"Reporting to the Sect Master, among the four disciples of the Heavenly Sword Sect, apart from the Foundation Establishment disciple whose performance was average, the three disciples in the late Golden Core stage all performed quite well."

They achieved a perfect record of ten wins. If it weren't for those three, we might very well have lost this match against the Tianchi Dynasty.

The old Taoist Qingchen nodded. "Among the people from the Heavenly Sword Sect this time, have you seen a young man? He is not yet twenty years old, but his cultivation has reached the King Realm."

Tang Yao was shocked upon hearing this and stared at the old Taoist Qingchen in disbelief.

"What? He's already at the King Realm before he's even twenty? How is that possible?"

Sect Master, you're not wrong, are you? Our sect's senior brother reached the King Realm at the age of thirty and was already hailed as the number one genius in the south.

If such a person truly existed, wouldn't he be even more monstrous than the eldest disciple?

The old Taoist priest stroked his beard and said meaningfully:

"There are always higher levels and more capable people out there. Just because you can't do it doesn't mean others can't. Based on my guess, he should already be at the King Realm."

The old Taoist Qingchen was referring to Qin Feng. When he met Qin Feng at the Heavenly Pride Tower, he felt that Qin Feng was no ordinary person.

He couldn't see through Qin Feng; Qin Feng even gave him a dangerous feeling.

The old Taoist priest Qingchen, who knew some divination techniques, made a benevolent agreement with Qin Feng.

He gave Qin Feng a jade pendant, which Qin Feng later gave to Zhou Jian.

Zhou Jian and the others were able to arrive in the southern part of the Holy Land quickly and safely thanks to him.

The old Taoist priest Qingchen felt that, given Qin Feng's aptitude, he should already be at the King Realm by now.

He guessed correctly. Qin Feng was not only a King Realm expert, but he also killed a King Realm expert and forced back four peak King Realm experts with a single sword strike—it was simply heaven-defying.

He would be even more surprised if he knew.

When Tang Yao heard his sect leader say this, what could he say? He could only choose to believe it.

He recalled the scene and responded truthfully:

"Reporting to the Sect Master, this disciple did not see the young King Realm expert you mentioned. This disciple did indeed discover two King Realm experts from the Heavenly Sword Sect."

However, they are all quite old, definitely not the young people you described.

The old Taoist priest Qingchen nodded and murmured, "Hasn't he arrived yet?"

Tang Yao looked at the old Taoist Qingchen, who was deep in thought, and he also remembered something and decided to talk about it.

"Sect Master, something interesting has happened this time, and it's also related to a King Realm expert who looks very young."

The old Taoist priest Qingchen said calmly, "Oh, what interesting thing is it? Tell me about it."

Tang Yao said with a smile:

"Xu Yiming, the son of the Martial Emperor of the Tianchi Dynasty, wants us to help him find someone. He has offered a very high reward. According to him, this person is a King Realm expert."

Tang Yao also conjured up Qin Feng's portrait.

"Sect Master, look, this is the person. He looks very young and is also at the King Realm, which is somewhat similar to the conditions you described."

Upon seeing this portrait, the old Taoist Qingchen raised an eyebrow and burst into laughter.

"That's right, I'm talking about him. Interesting, how did this kid offend Xu Hao's son before even reaching the Saint Realm?"

Tang Yao was taken aback. He thought it was a coincidence, but he didn't expect that Xu Yiming and his sect leader were asking about the same person.

"Sect Master, what should we do? Should we keep the news a secret, or tell the Tianchi Dynasty?"

The old Taoist Qingchen waved his hand, "This is a matter between them, we shouldn't interfere. Tell the other disciples of Qingyun Sect not to get involved."

Tang Yao didn't understand the intricacies of the situation, but respectfully replied, "Yes."

After thinking for a moment, the old Taoist Qingchen instructed, "If the Heavenly Sword Sect needs any help recently, please provide assistance as appropriate. If any major events occur, please inform me."

Tang Yao looked bewildered, but still respectfully replied, "Yes, Sect Master."

...

A place of towering mountains and swirling clouds, a paradise on earth, is the location of the New Heavenly Sword Sect's mountain gate.

On a mountain peak, Ding Junhua and Zhao Mingzhen were talking about something.

Zhao Mingzhen looked at Ding Junhua with a serious expression.

"Junhua, I know that the recent changes in the sect are hard for you to accept."

Especially since Guo Yunkai received special training from the two patriarchs, which makes you feel very unbalanced, I can understand that.

The conditions offered by Xu Yiming of the Tianchi Dynasty were indeed tempting, but the sect has been kind to us, and we cannot betray it.

Zhao Mingzhen spoke righteously, but what he was really thinking is anyone's guess.

When he saw his former rival Zhang Kaicheng rising in status along with Xiao Shitou, didn't he have any thoughts about it?

Ding Junhua felt somewhat resentful upon hearing this, but he respected Zhao Mingzhen and suppressed his thoughts for the time being.

"Master, I understand."

Seeing this, Zhao Mingzhen nodded, "Alright, the patriarch has something to announce today, let's go there as soon as possible."

The master and disciple arrived at the council hall, where many disciples had already gathered.

Little Stone, Yin Tiantian, and Xiao Fan were also there. They had made great contributions to the Heavenly Sword Sect, and many disciples and elders were praising them.

"Senior Brother Yun Kai, Elder Yin, Elder Leng, we owe you all this time. Otherwise, our Heavenly Sword Sect would not have been able to obtain such a good spiritual vein."

"Yes, we can take 20% of the share, which is enough for our daily expenses."

"That's right, all the other forces combined only account for 30%."

"The top-grade spiritual veins now have a chance to produce top-grade spirit stones. Just thinking about it makes my mouth water."

Yin Tiantian would say a few words of modesty, while Xiao Shitou and Xiao Fan would respond with smiles.

Ding Junhua felt uncomfortable when he saw the three of them, and seeing so many people praising them made him even more unhappy. The emotions that Zhao Mingzhen had suppressed earlier resurfaced.
