100-year-old foundation building, starting from the maximum level of understanding

Chapter 96 True Man Yan Huo, Taking the Opportunity to Launch an Attack
At first, Ji Haoyuan and the others guessed that Zhang Xingde's absence from the return flight might mean he intended to stay in Yuanguang City.

However, they later learned that Zhang Xingde had died in the final battle before their return journey at the hands of a Netherworld Sect cultivator.

This made Liu Hongyu, who was also from Nanning County, quite sigh and feel emotional.

Even a late-stage Foundation Establishment cultivator like Zhang Xingde perished in this war.

If Liu Hongyu hadn't stayed with Ji Haoyuan all this time, would she have ended up like Zhang Xingde, forever left here?
Liu Hongyu dared not think too deeply about it.

But she knew that without Ji Haoyuan, she, along with Feng Wanqing and Qiu Zeyuan, would never have been able to reap such a huge reward.

At least for now, they are probably still hovering between the early and middle stages of Foundation Establishment.

Time goes by.

As the several flying boats carrying Ji Haoyuan and his group gradually arrived at the mountain gate of the Crimson Cloud Sect, numerous figures had already appeared at the sect's gate.

The person in the lead was a gaunt-faced old man who appeared to be around seventy years old.

He was not tall; in fact, he was shorter than most of the people present.

But when he stood there, in front of everyone, he gave people a sense of profound composure and unwavering strength.

It was as if everything around him was merely an accessory, and he was the center of everything.

He was another Golden Core cultivator from the Crimson Cloud Sect besides Ice and Fire True Man.

He is also the most senior member of the Crimson Cloud Sect.

Flamefire Immortal.

boom!
at last.

As the flying boats appeared in front of the Crimson Cloud Sect's mountain gate, True Person Flamefire immediately stepped forward, greeting True Person Icefire aboard the lead flying boat with a broad smile.

"Junior Sister Jiang, you have returned victorious from this trip, and you have displayed the might of my Crimson Cloud Sect, making those Netherworld Sect scoundrels dare not underestimate us. This is truly a cause for celebration."

On behalf of the entire Crimson Cloud Sect, I, your senior brother, congratulate my junior sister on her return!

"We congratulate the True Immortal on his return!"

Following Master Yanhuo, all the cultivators of the Crimson Cloud Sect behind him bowed in respect.

Seeing this, Ice and Fire Master's expression didn't change much.

But he still nodded slightly to Yan Huo Zhenren.

"Senior brother, you flatter me."

This is simply my duty; I truly do not deserve such praise from my senior brother.

Having said that, Icefire Immortal looked ahead and then said to Flamefire Immortal:
"Senior brother, let's go back to the mountain first and talk about everything."

Master Yanhuo nodded, his smile unchanged, and said:

"Alright, then we'll do as Junior Sister says."

As he spoke, True Man Flamefire gestured to True Man Icefire, inviting him to join him.

But at that moment, a middle-aged man in a long robe, who appeared to be around fifty years old, suddenly stepped forward from behind Master Yanhuo and said to him:

"Reporting to Master, I have suddenly remembered something that I need to report to you immediately."

This person is Yang Donghuai, the eldest disciple personally taught by Master Yanhuo.

His sudden appearance caused Master Yan Huo to frown, and he said in a somewhat displeased tone:

"Donghuai, can't we talk about this when we get back?"

But Yang Donghuai looked serious and bowed apologetically to Master Yanhuo:
"Master, this matter is of great importance, and I'm afraid I must report it to you now."

"Oh……"

Master Yan Huo suddenly raised an eyebrow, then glanced apologetically at Master Bing Huo on the flying boat before turning to Yang Donghuai, his expression slightly displeased, and said:
"Tell me, what is it?"

If you can't give a clear explanation this time, I will definitely punish you.

Seeing this, the Ice and Fire Immortal standing on the flying boat showed no change in expression. However, a hint of coldness had already surfaced deep within her beautiful eyes.

Then Yang Donghuai said, "Master, you may not know this, but the soul tablet of Yuan Shanglong, the head of our sect's Law Enforcement Hall, was shattered beforehand."

Our subsequent investigation revealed that this matter was committed by Ji Haoyuan of the Ji family, which is under the jurisdiction of our sect.

And this person, if I'm not mistaken, should be on that flying boat right now.

The moment he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the room immediately froze.

Those on the several airships instinctively turned their gazes toward Ji Haoyuan.

Liu Hongyu, Feng Wanqing, Qiu Zeyuan, and others couldn't help but show worry on their faces.

They didn't realize that so much time had passed.

Surprisingly, some people from the Crimson Cloud Sect still brought up this matter.

Most importantly, it's about who brought this up, and the time and place where it was brought up.

They would never believe that this was done without the tacit approval of Yan Huo Zhenren, a Golden Core cultivator.

This confirms one of their previous guesses.

That is the relationship between the two Golden Core cultivators in the Crimson Cloud Sect. It seems that there really are some problems.

"Junior sister, is this really true?"

At this moment, Yan Huo Zhenren's gaze turned to Bing Huo Zhenren, who was on the flying boat.

The smile on his face had vanished, replaced by a sharp and cold expression.

"No matter what, killing an elder of my Crimson Cloud Sect, especially the head of the Enforcement Hall, is something that must not be left unresolved."

If he is still on the flying boat, please, junior sister, find him to prove the majesty of our sect!

At that moment, the surrounding air seemed to freeze.

Everyone instinctively held their breath.

They were afraid that if they made a mistake, they would attract the attention of two Golden Core cultivators.

Until, the voice of the Ice and Fire Immortal drifted out.

"Senior brother, is there something wrong with your disciple?"

I can confirm that this is not true.

Master Yuan died entirely at the hands of the Netherworld Sect cultivators.

"If you truly want to avenge him, the people you seek out should be from the Netherworld Sect."

Having said that, Icefire Immortal's beautiful eyes turned directly to Yang Donghuai behind Flamefire Immortal.

Yang Donghuai was immediately horrified.

Some of the people present were also quite shocked.

They could never have imagined that, in response to Yan Huo Zhenren's question, Bing Huo Zhenren would give such an answer.

Apart from Master Yanhuo, who among those present dared to raise any objections? Who would actually dare to raise any objections?
Even the few personal disciples of Master Yanhuo dared not.

This included Yang Donghuai.

What a joke! To openly question a Golden Core cultivator to their face? Are you out of your mind?
Moreover, how could a mere junior like you possibly question the words of a Golden Core cultivator?
Even if you know she's lying, or even calling a deer a horse, it's still right, 100% correct.

As the saying goes, strength is justice, and realm is truth.

These words were perfectly interpreted by the Ice and Fire Master at this moment.

How?
If you want to argue with me, play those so-called schemes and word games with me, I just won't follow your script.

I'm standing right here, clearly telling you, and I'm even going to tell you straight up that I'm lying through my teeth. What can you do about it?
