Starting with Hyuga, traversing countless heavens

"Senior brother, we agreed not to call him by that name! Junior brother, are you setting up a Qimen formation, or a Qimen formation that covers the entire Maoshan Mountain?"

"Hiss!"

The group exchanged glances, realizing they had come for nothing. They hadn't had to do anything, and they couldn't even understand the Qimen Dunjia divination.

"It's alright, fellow disciples, just treat it as a bit of fun."

Just as the Lu family's assassins reached the mountainside, the ground shook, and earthen dragons emerged from all directions.

"Don't be nervous, it's just some kind of esoteric magic. Form ranks and prepare to meet the enemy."

Once the formation was complete, a moment of silence followed. He had somewhat forgotten that these were all suicide soldiers, and no one but him would panic.

The Lu family's assassins naturally couldn't have learned the Ruyi Jin (a martial art technique); they learned external martial arts like the Pi Kong Zhang (another martial art technique) and the Tie Bu Shian (another martial art technique). Their methods of circulating Qi were also very basic, only able to circulate through the Small Heavenly Circuit.

However, their tireless cultivation had amassed a formidable Qi, and several of them used the Splitting Palm technique to cleave the earth dragon in two, while others used their external martial arts skills to forcibly sever it.

It seemed like a stalemate, but only the leader knew that due to the nature of their techniques, they couldn't hold out for long. He considered retreating and quietly leaving, but unexpectedly, the soil beneath his feet suddenly softened, and he was dragged into the ground by the earth dragon.

When he saw the light again, he immediately saw a group of people, including a group of Taoist priests including Hyuga Hoshino.

He tried to bite open the poison sac in his mouth, but Shi Jian dislocated his jaw.

On the Wang family's side, they encountered a meteor shower, its tiny lights resembling fireflies, yet carrying immense killing intent.

One of the Wang family's assassins was instantly engulfed in flames from a mere spark touching the hem of his clothing.

The leader brandished his longsword to prevent Mars from getting close.

"Quickly, stop these Mars from getting closer."

A tiny spark silently approached the leader, but before he could react, it was engulfed by the flames. However, he found no burning sensation and then appeared in front of Hinata Hoshino and the others.

The Fire Virtue Sect's Fire Escape Technique has been revised to the Blazing Fire Teleportation Technique.

Before he could make a move, Lei Gang stepped forward and dislocated his jaw.

Hinata Hoshino's expression was subtle, showing some curiosity about who would make the move next.

The Gao family encountered a hurricane, and the strong winds brought a lot of mud and sand, which was dazzling.

"what!"

The leader was swept away by the gust of wind and appeared in front of Hyuga Hoshino. Ao Tianlong wanted to step forward, but Chizuru was one step ahead and dislocated his jaw.

"Alright, fellow disciples, get ready. We'll go and demand an explanation at dawn."

"Junior brother, what should we do with these people?"

It seems that the three elite warriors from Gao, Wang, and Lü families will not be able to hold out for long before they are almost wiped out. There is only one group left. Hyuga Hoshino did not make a move, so Ishiken asked.

"It's alright, Nobeta, that is, the Western dragon, will treat them well."

As soon as he finished speaking, the few remaining ninjas encountered Nobeta.

"Ow!"

The sound was like a booming bell, deafening, and in an instant, the ninjas had nowhere to hide.

"How to do?"

"Do it!"

"call!"

Nobeta unleashed a dragon's breath, a scorching breath that swept across the area.

"what!"

"So hot, so hot!"

"what is this?"

Wailing cries echoed.

“Junior brother, this is, after all, a sacred place of Taoism. We should not torment them.”

"Oh, Lin Fengjiao, you are truly compassionate. What do you think we should do?"

"What I mean is, we should give them a quick death!"

"Oh, Senior Brother Jiaojiao, you are truly compassionate."

Chapter 215 Questioning

As dawn broke and everything came to an end, several young Taoist priests vomited while cleaning up the battlefield.

Shi Jian, who is now in charge of the Maoshan precepts, turned pale. The younger generation lacks training. Back then, they went down the mountain to help, and it was a brutal experience.

"After you finish cleaning, copy the Tao Te Ching one hundred times! Also, the one who vomited the most, will go down the mountain for training tomorrow!"

"Yes, Grandmaster!"

Hinata Hoshino knew that their apologies to Maoshan would likely come to nothing, but he only wanted to demonstrate that Maoshan was not to be trifled with.

Let others refrain from their underhanded tactics.

Wang Ai is treacherous, so he went to Si Mu. It must be quite interesting to see a treacherous monster paired with an unreliable person.

Lü Ren wasn't sure how to handle it, so Lin Fengjiao's straightforward approach wasn't very interesting.

The Gao family was at a relative disadvantage, so the powerful Shi Jian went.

In the Wang family compound, Wang Ai glared at Si Mu through gritted teeth, her desire to kill him to silence him growing stronger.

"Hahaha, Brother Wang Ai, look what I've brought you! Your family's assassins, do they look familiar?"

"Hehe, Master Four Eyes is joking. My Wang family is upright and honest, and we stand tall and straight. How could we possibly have any assassins? They don't look familiar at all."

Si Mu laughed even harder, telling a joke: "The Wang family is upright and honest."

Wang Ai had one hand behind his back, clenched into a fist, making a cracking sound. No secrets stay hidden forever; the news that Hinata Hoshino had collected a bunch of zombies in Gantian Town and had Simu sell them to the Liu family was widely circulated at the time.

The chosen time for the visit was at night. If things turn sour, it's questionable whether we can win over the Four Eyes on the spot. And if we do, that's another question altogether.

After the four eyes were struck, Hyuga Hoshino arrived. He had witnessed the power of the Thunder Pearl before—an entire mountain! The Tang Sect used it with great joy.

He couldn't believe that Hyuga Hoshino, who had created the Thunder Pearl, would be so weak as to be unable to even kill a chicken.

"Really? But he doesn't seem to think that way."

"Do you know this fat man? Don't worry, speak freely. He's capable of killing people to cover it up. Look at the zombie army behind me."

Si Mu took out a pink sack and released a group of zombies. Wang Ai gasped in shock; the sheer number of them, and the aura of each one, was formidable.

However, after recalling the situation, Wang Ai realized that he wasn't afraid at all. He really didn't know this guy. The Wang family outsourced the training of assassins, so whether this guy even knew Wang Ai was a question.

"Of course I know this fat bastard! He's a jerk to us, to those kids... uh."

Before he could finish speaking, the man beside Wang Ai swiftly drew his pen, and the leader of the assassins was gone.

Si Mu raised an eyebrow, quite decisive. Wang Ai slapped the person next to her, making him stumble.

"I'm sorry, Daoist Master. My subordinate was ignorant and only knew that he was slandering the Wang family. In a moment of passion, he didn't know when to stop."

"It's alright, it's alright. Even if you kill me to cover it up, I don't care, it doesn't matter!"

"That's fine, that's fine."

"However, my senior brother instructed that if anyone sneaks up the mountain again, he wouldn't mind sending the Wang family a basket of thunder pearls. Regardless of whether they are from the Wang family or not, he would assume that the Wang family is causing trouble."

Four Eyes jumped onto the zombie's shoulder, waved his hand, and hopped away.

"Master, Maoshan is going too far! Should we... cough!"

After saying that, Wang Ai made a chop gesture at her throat and then slapped her again.

"Damn it, didn't you hear what he said? A basket of thunder pearls is enough to raze our Wang family to the ground."

Lu Ren looked at Lin Fengjiao with a puzzled expression. He had heard of her before; she was known for her fairness and impartiality and was also the Grand Master of the Underworld.

"I was unaware of your arrival and have failed to greet you properly. Please forgive me."

Lin Fengjiao nodded, impressed by the poise and grace of someone from a prominent family.

“Patriarch Lü, you’re too kind. Please look, this is the strongman who forcibly broke into Maoshan. After being captured, he confessed that he is a member of the Lü family’s elite guards.”

"Daoist Master, please forgive us. Our Lü family used to have assassins, but since I became the head of the family, there has been no such thing."

Lu Ren stepped forward to examine it, but there was no Lu family crest, nor any sign of practicing the Ruyi Jin technique; there was absolutely no evidence related to the Lu family.

Lu Ren remained expressionless. He had suspected that his father had entrusted the task of training assassins to Lu Ci, but he had never investigated because they were brothers.

Moreover, Lu Ci had promised him that she wouldn't get involved in such a mess, but perhaps her younger brother had grown up and was no longer obedient.

"It's him? No, it's not him! It's not him! He looks just like him, he looks just like him!"

Lin Fengjiao looked helplessly at Lü Ren. These assassins didn't know who their master was, but Hyuga Hoshino had fabricated some memories for them.

Lu Ren's face darkened.

"Thank you, Taoist priest, for bringing this person here. I will definitely find out the truth and give Maoshan an explanation."

"Patriarch Lü is righteous, and the sect leader has said that the truth is irrelevant, as long as there is a stance."

“I understand. This afternoon, I will personally present this small token of my appreciation to Maoshan.”

Several days later, the rest of the Lü family had already delivered some medicinal herbs and gold and silver to Maoshan. Lü Ren, carrying a bundle of thorns on his back, led Lü Ci step by step up Maoshan.

Looking at the bloodstains on Lü Ren's back, Lü Ci felt an even stronger sense of resentment and a greater thirst for power. However, he had lost all interest in Maoshan.

“Master, Lü Ren has come to apologize with a bundle of thorns on his back.”

"Master Lü, why do you plead guilty?"

"This humble servant has been rude and offended a true person."

Hinata Hoshino raised his hand and used his strength to help Lü Ren up.

"It's too serious. It's just a small matter, nothing to worry about."
