"The Third Elder summoned us to gather at the Punishment Hall. He must have important instructions. You come with me."

Jiang Yun replied.

"What about Uncle Lin?"

Li Zhiming asked.

"I'll be on guard here."

Lin Wu stood at the door of the tent and replied with his arms folded.

"If there's any order, I'll tell him when I get back."

Jiang Yun replied. She looked towards the tent, her eyes full of Lin Wu, a smile on her face.

So happy!

Li Zhiming thought, how abominable it is to show off one's affection in front of him!

"Well, I will follow Uncle Jiang to the Punishment Hall."

"Okay, let's go."

Jiang Yun led the way, and the two arrived at the Punishment Hall’s headquarters.

The Punishment Hall’s headquarters is very large and has a large tent.

Leaders from various factions came one after another, and after exchanging greetings in front of the tent door, they walked in.

Li Zhiming followed Jiang Yun and sat on the right side. After sitting down, he noticed a cold gaze.

This person is none other than the Saint Li Qingyue.

Li Qingyue has a special status, so she has a small square table by herself and sits in the first row on the left.

Although Li Zhiming is now the Son of Qilin, it is obvious that the people in the sect have not fully accepted his identity change.

There are even some people who do not recognize their own identity and even go to Song Hongyan to ask for the cancellation of their title of Qilinzi.

But Li Zhiming didn't care. He thought it would be better to cancel it and save trouble.

"The people have arrived."

Mu Rujie, who was sitting in the first row on the right, took off his mask, covered his face with one hand, and took a sip of wine.

After finishing the glass of wine, Mu Rujie put on his mask again, turned his head to look at Li Zhiming, and then said, "Everyone is here, Third Elder, tell me about the situation here."

The third elder is a man with a square face.

Li Zhiming found that he looked tired and his breathing was disordered, obviously he had suffered serious internal injuries.

Combined with the information I heard from Song Hongyan last time, the Third Elder should have been injured by someone from the Taichu Holy Land.

The third elder let out a long sigh, his expression very serious.

“The situation is chaotic right now.”

"In addition to the demon tribe and us, there are many other forces eyeing the secret realm. They are basically gathered in Huangshi City, 80 miles away."

"Moreover, the person who killed two people from our Zhenyuan Sect and seriously injured several others, claiming to be from the Taichu Holy Land, also stayed in Huangshi City."

"There was news yesterday that they killed a lot of people in Huangshi City, including some top-level masters. I heard that the masters of the Silver Moon Tavern were all seriously injured!"

As soon as these words were spoken, there was an uproar.

All the powerful Grandmasters were seriously injured!

What is the opponent's strength? !

Li Zhiming frowned slightly. The Silver Moon Tavern was one of the six major sects in the Eastern Xuan Territory.

It is the most liberal of the six major forces.

The Silver Moon Tavern's brand is spread all over the Dongxuan Region, and even has many branches in the Tang Empire.

Even though the people of the Silver Moon Tavern seem free and undisciplined, their foundation and strength are definitely among the best among the six major sects!

But even so, the Grandmaster sent by the Silver Moon Tavern was still severely injured by the people from the Taichu Holy Land.

It is conceivable how strong the other party is.

The masters are all very smart and have many hidden cards.

It is difficult to kill the opponent without crushing means.

"Who was sent by the Silver Moon Tavern?"

Someone asked.

"Han Old Devil."

"Han Liming?!"

“It’s actually him!”

Everyone was surprised, and then their expressions became more solemn.

"Old Demon Han is in the late Grandmaster stage!"

"That old guy is very cunning, and his means of escaping and saving his life are amazing. There are definitely no more than a handful of Grandmasters in the entire Dongxuan Region who can seriously injure Han Old Demon!"

The third elder frowned with a serious expression.

"How many people are there on the other side?"

Mu Rujie asked.

"There are only three people, one of whom is a young man, about the same age as the Saint Girl, but already in the middle stage of the second rank!"

“Hiss~!”

As soon as these words came out, everyone gasped.

What kind of freak is this?

He is about the same age as the Saint, but is already a second-grade strongman.

Then what are the results of their efforts and hard work over the years?

After working hard for sixty, seventy, or even hundreds of years, one's achievements are still not as good as a twenty-year-old young man. It's really ridiculous!

Li Qingyue already knew the news in advance, but even so, she still felt extremely complicated.

She frowned, took a long breath, and tried to calm herself down.

The others lowered their heads, not knowing what they were thinking.

The atmosphere suddenly became solemn.

The tent fell into deathly silence.

There was no expression on Li Zhiming's face, and no sign of sadness or joy could be seen.

"Twenty years old, middle stage of the second rank."

“Is this true genius?”

"interesting!"

Li Zhiming was slightly surprised, but that was all.

With his current combat power, it is easy for him to kill a second-rank strongman, and there are not many people below the first rank who can be his opponent.

He is invincible below the first rank, and one for one above the first rank!

"Go on."

Mu Rujie's voice broke the stillness and silence.

Hearing this, the Third Elder continued, "The young man was accompanied by two people, a middle-aged man and a beautiful woman."

"I can't tell the strength of these two people, but they should both be masters, or even stronger!"

"Since the three of them appeared, only the young man and the middle-aged man have taken action."

"My injury and the death of the two elders were caused by those two people."

"And that beautiful woman has never made a move so far, including this time in Yellowstone City."

When the Third Elder said this, his tone became more serious and his fists clenched.

When had their Zhenyuan Sect ever suffered such humiliation?

"There is still someone who has not made a move yet, the Grandmaster?"

"Or are the men who made the move and the women who didn't make the move both Grandmasters?"

Someone said.

This speculation made everyone present feel scalp tingling.

Including Li Zhiming.

If they are really two great masters.

If they really start a killing spree, they might be able to sweep across the entire Northern Wilderness.

You should know that there are only six grandmasters in the East Xuan Territory, one is a reclusive cultivator, and the other five are from the six major sects.

Even if we add those hidden in the dark, the number will not exceed two hands.

Moreover, there are strong and weak grandmasters. Can the grandmaster of Dongxuan Domain be a match for the grandmaster of Taichu Holy Land?

Nobody knows.

But everyone has a bottom line in their heart.

The probability is not as good as this.

"That woman should be the only one who is a Grandmaster, and the person who attacked is most likely a Half-Step Grandmaster."

Mu Rujie stroked his chin and analyzed.

"I don't think you need to worry too much."

"That woman will never make a move easily. A powerful dragon cannot defeat a local snake. Moreover, the Taichu Holy Land is tens of thousands of miles away from the Dongxuan Region, and there are only three of them."

Mu Rujie said again.

"Third Elder, what is the attitude of those three people towards the secret realm?"

"The attitude is unclear, but the young man is definitely going to enter the secret realm."

The third elder replied.

“When the attitude is unclear, the situation becomes most confusing.”

"What do the Wanjian Sect and the demon clan say? When will the space barrier be opened?"

"After discussions among various array mages, it was found that the strength of the space barrier changes over time, and will reach its weakest point in about seven days."

"During that period, we had to work together to open the barrier and secure an entrance."

"The entrances that were opened previously were extremely unstable. They could only be used for simple exploration and were unable to allow people in continuously." The third elder explained.

"I see."

"Then wait seven days."

"Now many forces and the three people from the Taichu Holy Land have gathered in Huangshi City. We need some people to find out the news over there. It would be best to send a few inconspicuous disciples."

"Among the three people coming from the Taichu Holy Land, only the young man meets the requirements to enter the secret realm. It would be best if we can find out his true strength."

Mu Rujie looked around, and then said: "My Punishment Hall can send Liang Meng. She is powerful and low-key. Although she is well-known in the sect, few people in the outside world know of her existence."

"Then let me go with Liang Meng."

Li Qingyue bowed.

"Saint girl, you should take a rest. I already said that I want an inconspicuous disciple."

"The Saint is famous all over the world. It would be too conspicuous for you to go. Let me go."

Li Zhiming stood up and smiled.

He was very curious about the three people who came from the Taichu Holy Land.

Since a young man in the middle stage of the second rank wants to enter the secret realm, he will be his competitor.

Just as Mu Rujie said, it would be best to find out the opponent's strengths and weaknesses first.
