After fifteen years of cultivation, he finally reached the pinnacle of the first rank!

Chapter 233 Response
Li Musheng glanced at Zheng Yunfeng's body, which had fallen into the ditch below.

Although he had never taken Luoshen Peak seriously, it was still quite unexpected that the peak leader was so weak.

Li Musheng shook his head, then looked away and continued to refine the Azure Dragon and Darkness Scripture.

At the current pace, once the Fallen God Peak is resolved, the Azure Dragon Azure Netherworld Scripture should also be perfected.

When he obtains the power of the Vermilion Bird Bone, he will probably be able to improve a little bit more.

"You should compare yourself to yourself; there's no point in comparing yourself to others."

……

The scene that unfolded above the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion could be clearly felt by everyone in the entire Hundred Refinement City.

Zheng Yunfeng intimidated the entire city with his terrifying martial arts pressure and soaring killing intent. Then, he struck with lightning speed, and the terrifying, overwhelming true meaning of his fist descended from the sky. The entire Hundred Refinement City seemed to be on the verge of being blasted into ruins.

The people in the city were terrified and filled with fear at the prospect.

But all of this came unexpectedly, and disappeared even faster.

They were all trembling with fear, preparing to face the attack from the peak master of Hundred Refinement Peak, but everything vanished in an instant, as if nothing had happened in Hundred Refinement City.

"Oh no, something's happened to the Peak Master!"

The martial arts experts in the Hundred Refinements City Lord's Mansion quickly realized what was happening and immediately shouted:

"Quickly, send a message for help!"

……

On a small hill outside Hundred Refinements City.

The old man in hemp clothing and Lin Xun'er stared at the Hundred Refinements City, which had fallen silent into the darkness, and were clearly stunned for a long time before slowly coming back to their senses.

"Grandpa, if I'm not mistaken, is the peak master of Hundred Refinements Peak gone?"

Lin Xun'er suddenly looked at the old man in hemp clothing, her expression clearly stiffening.

The old man in hemp clothing remained silent for a moment, then said with a shifting expression:
"Zheng Yunfeng's fist intent shattered and his energy dissipated, clearly indicating defeat, but..."

He stopped there, gazing into the city with a complex expression on his face.

At this moment, Lin Xun'er reached out and rubbed her stiff face, then continued the old man in hemp clothing:
"But we didn't see that guy make a move. Even if he did, Zheng Yunfeng and the other only exchanged one blow. To kill the peak master of Hundred Refinements Peak in one move... is that really possible?"

A sudden silence fell over the air; neither of them seemed able to answer the question.

Although they witnessed it all with their own eyes, and the facts told them that it had indeed happened, they still found it hard to believe.

At this moment, the old man in hemp clothing's expression shifted, and he suddenly withdrew his gaze. An uncontrollable excitement appeared on his aged face as he said:
"Xun'er, no matter what, Zheng Yunfeng is dead. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for us!"

Upon hearing this, Lin Xun'er, who had been somewhat dazed, suddenly snapped out of her daze and turned sharply to look in the direction of Hundred Refinement Peak.

At this moment, a look of excitement also appeared on her fair face, and an extremely astonishing killing intent slowly emanated from her body as she said:
"With Zheng Yunfeng and the Grand Elder of Hundred Refinement Peak dead, there is basically no longer any threat to us on Hundred Refinement Peak. Now is the time for us to take revenge."

After saying that, she and the old man in hemp clothing exchanged a glance, and they both immediately understood each other's decision. Without hesitation, they immediately went down the mountain and rushed towards the direction of Hundred Refinement Peak.

On the dark mountain path, the old man in hemp clothing carried Lin Xun'er and hurried along, while Lin Xun'er looked back at the Hundred Refinement City that was gradually receding into the distance, her dark eyes flashing.

Lin Xun'er was not at peace at the moment. She never expected that the opportunity to avenge her sister would be given to her by that despicable guy.

……

On the mountain path leading from Luoshen Peak to Bailian Peak.

The three elders from the main peak of Luoshen Peak looked at each other, their expressions a mixture of shock and extreme solemnity.

At this moment, a slightly plump elder turned around, bowed to the young man in the carriage, and spoke with an extremely unpleasant expression:

"Young Sect Master, Zheng Yunfeng has actually been defeated!"

They had all witnessed what happened above Hundred Refinement City. The collapse of the soaring golden pillar of light and the dissipation of Zheng Yunfeng's martial arts true energy had already explained everything.

Although they found it hard to believe that Zheng Yunfeng, a peak-level expert, had been defeated by the other party, and that it all happened so quickly.

But that's the reality, and they have to accept it even if they can't.

The young man, the sect leader's eldest disciple, remained silent for a moment, his gaze piercing the night towards Hundred Refinements City. A subtle ripple appeared on his young face as he spoke:
"I am not surprised that the Dali court sent out such a powerful martial arts expert, but the fact that they made their move at this time instead of using it as a final trump card is something I really can't figure out."

Upon hearing this, the three elders exchanged glances, their eyes filled with strange expressions.

Then, one of the elders quickly bowed to the young man and said:

"Young Sect Master, the experts from Hundred Refinement City are so powerful that even Zheng Yunfeng is no match for them. Should we continue our journey?"

At this moment, another elder spoke up:

"Young Sect Master, I suggest we immediately seek help from the peak. This person can probably only be captured by the Sect Leader and a few Venerables."

The young man glanced at the three elders, but did not reject their suggestion, and said softly:
"You all go back to the peak to ask your master for instructions, while I will continue to Hundred Refinement City to see the expert who defeated Zheng Yunfeng in a single move."

Upon hearing this, the three elders were all startled and hurriedly said:
"Absolutely not! Hundred Refinement City is extremely dangerous right now. Young Sect Master, you must not take the risk."

However, the young man seemed unconcerned, waving his hand and saying:
"It's alright, you can rest assured, that person can't hurt me. Just do as I say from now on."

Having said that, the young man said no more, lowered the carriage curtain, and the carriage continued to drive towards Hundred Refinement City, leaving only the three elders behind.

"Return to the peak immediately and report to the sect leader. We must not allow anything to happen to the young sect leader."

The three elders exchanged glances and immediately returned to the main peak without hesitation.

……

"Why did that golden beam of light suddenly disappear?"

Among the Tianjin Guards who were secretly heading towards Yuxing Peak, many of them looked towards the horizon and suddenly exclaimed in surprise.

Meanwhile, the commanders Fu Qiwen and Hu Ruian, who were riding alongside them on horseback, both had their brows furrowed and their expressions were strange.

Because of the distance between them and Hundred Refinement City, Fu Qiwen could not observe as clearly as those nearby, but he could still vaguely sense that Zheng Yunfeng had been defeated.

"With just one move, he defeated the Hundred Refinements Peak Master, who had condensed the true essence of fist techniques and whose fist skills were unparalleled in the Great Li martial arts world?"

Fu Qiwen muttered to himself, his eyes filled with a mixture of shock and disbelief.

At this moment, Hu Ruian, who was standing next to him, suddenly sighed and said:

"Why didn't Your Highness use any martial arts techniques? Moreover, it seems that we didn't see Your Highness make a move at all, yet Zheng Yunfeng was defeated."

"Alas, His Highness is always like this. Every move he makes is like a gazelle hanging its horns, leaving no trace!" Upon hearing this, Fu Qiwen turned to look at Hu Ruian, his eyes twitching slightly. At this moment, he inexplicably felt that what his old subordinate had said was a slap in the face to him on the spot.

Thinking of this, Fu Qiwen remained silent for a moment, then suddenly asked:

"Ryan, are you sure it was the Eighth Prince who made the move, and not someone with a powerful backer?"

Hu Ruian turned to look at Fu Qiwen, nodded solemnly, and said:

“I know it’s hard for you to believe, and I was the same way back then, but His Highness is different from all our previous understanding. He is a unique being and cannot be viewed by ordinary standards.”

Upon hearing this, Fu Qiwen took a deep breath and turned to look in the direction of Hundred Refinement City. Suddenly, he recalled the scene when Li Musheng took on the task of annihilating Fallen God Peak.

"Your Highness, could it be that I have misjudged you, and your confidence has always stemmed from yourself?"

……

"The peak master of Fallen God Peak only made a move for a short while, why did he suddenly stop?"

The down-on-his-luck scholar gazed at the darkening sky, a look of confusion on his face.

The other three also looked surprised and suspicious. They had only been following the big black cat and were obviously unaware of what was happening.

At this moment, the large black cat crouching in front of him meowed a few times, seemingly in response to the scholar's question.

The old man Wu Yong and the down-on-his-luck scholar immediately looked at the Lin sisters, clearly wanting to ask for their opinions.

Seeing this, Lin Tang frowned slightly and hesitated before saying:
"My sister said that His Highness the Prince has already killed the Peak Master of Hundred Refinements Peak."

"However... she complained that we were too slow and made her miss the show. She said she should have just left us behind."

Upon hearing this, the old man Wu Yong and the scholar Sui Zhen exchanged bewildered glances, clearly finding it hard to believe that the peak master of Hundred Refinements Peak had died just like that.

At this moment, the scholar Sui Zhen quietly asked Lin Yueru:
Is what Momo said reliable?

However, before Lin Yueru could answer, the big black cat turned around and meowed twice, then continued on its way and disappeared into the dark woods.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yueru turned to look at the scholar Sui Zhen and sighed:
"My sister said believe it or not, if you're so capable, then don't follow us. She doesn't want to bother with us."

As she spoke, Lin Yueru turned to look at her eldest sister, while Lin Tang pondered for a moment before saying:
"Although my little sister is a bit mischievous, she has never lied to us. It may really have been that prince who made the move just now. In that case, Hundred Refinement Peak is undoubtedly a breakthrough point for us."

"With the death of the peak master of Hundred Refinement Peak, we can easily infiltrate the main peak of Fallen God Peak through Hundred Refinement Peak."

Upon hearing this, the old man Wu Yong frowned, pondered for a moment, and then spoke:

"If the peak master of Hundred Refinements Peak really dies at the hands of that prince, the other party will likely be targeted by Fallen God Peak, which is undoubtedly extremely dangerous for us. We must not act rashly or take risks."

The other three fell silent for a moment. Lin Yueru thought for a moment and then said:

"It's both a danger and an opportunity. If that prince manages to draw out the experts from Fallen God Peak, then we can secretly act according to the situation and decide at the best moment to enter Fallen God Peak?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Tang nodded, while the old man Wu Yong and the scholar Sui Zhen pondered for a moment before finally nodding in agreement:

"Then let's follow Momo and see if we can find a suitable opportunity. However, we must proceed with caution and not reveal our presence unless absolutely necessary."

Having said that, the four of them finally stopped hesitating and continued to follow the big black cat.

……

In the darkness, a horse-drawn carriage was parked on a small hillside.

Inside the carriage sat Ouyang Mingqi, the peak master of the fifth peak of Luoshen Peak, while an old man sat in the coachman's seat.

"Zheng Yunfeng has been defeated. Should the Peak Master still continue his journey to Hundred Refinement City?"

The old man suppressed his shock and turned around to ask.

The man in the carriage remained silent for a moment, then spoke indifferently:

“My martial arts cultivation is not much different from Junior Brother Zheng’s, but he couldn’t withstand a single move from that person. There’s no point in me going there now. Let the sect leader of the main peak handle it.”

Upon hearing this, the old man sitting in the coachman's seat nodded slightly, turning the carriage around to return to the Fifth Peak, and remarked with a sigh:
"The Great Li Dynasty's foundation is still quite strong. Their attack on our Fallen God Peak this time was clearly well-prepared. Before the two sides have even clashed on a large scale, we have already lost a peak leader, which is a heavy loss for our sect."

Ouyang Mingqi, inside the carriage, remained completely unmoved, speaking indifferently:

"Rest assured, the foundation of our sect is not something that Da Li can shake. It is regrettable that Junior Brother Zheng died, but if the Da Li court wants to take over our Luoshen Peak, it is still far from being able to do so with just this one person."

As he finished speaking, the carriage drove into the night, and then drove further and further away from Hundred Refinement City.

……

Yulan Peak.

The mirror-like figure of the beautiful woman floated above the jade palace, gazing at the Hundred Refinements City in the distance.

Then her entire ethereal figure began to sway violently, indicating that she was extremely agitated at that moment.

"Senior Brother Zheng actually lost?"

Her beautiful reflection in the mirror murmured to herself. Then, she gazed at the darkness of the sky for a while. Seeing that there was no more movement, the last glimmer of hope in her heart was completely extinguished.

"The Great Li Dynasty actually sent such a master to attack Hundred Refinement Peak? Only the main peak can handle this now."

Yu Mianjiao naturally had no intention of seeking revenge for her senior brother Zheng Yunfeng.

On the contrary, she knew that she did not need to take action herself. What she needed to worry about now was the upcoming attack on Yulan Peak by the Tianjin Guard.

She had previously sought Zheng Yunfeng's help, thinking it would be a safe bet to deal with the late former commander of Dali.

But to her surprise, not long after the deal was finalized, Zheng Yunfeng encountered a mishap, and now she has no choice but to find another way.

After pondering for a while, Yu Mianjiao seemed to have made a decision. Her mirror image transformed into a beam of light and flew into the night.

……

Hundred Refinement City.

After Zheng Yunfeng's death, the city lord's mansion sent people around to ask for help.

Sitting atop the Hundred Fragrance Pavilion, Li Musheng was naturally pleased with this outcome, but he felt that the people of Luoshen Peak were not stupid.

After seeing that the peak of Hundred Refinement Peak is gone, I guess many people will not dare to come.

However, Luo Shenfeng certainly cannot sit idly by and ignore him. Next, the people coming to Hundred Refinement City will likely be even stronger.

Not long after, a carriage appeared outside Hundred Refinement City.
