Chapter 446: Chapter 247: Zhu Meng Single-handedly Attacks the Holy Pill Sect "You’re not going alone? Counting on that bunch of useless fools?" Zhu Meng’s blood surged with fury; he wished he could rush to the Holy Pill Sect immediately. "As far as I know, that Gu Sheng killed Wu Gui’s son. When Wu Gui went to demand justice, he was blocked by Wen Mingyan at the door..." Xue Ji hadn’t finished speaking when Zhu Meng was already striding away. He mounted a blazing firebird and sped off into the distance. "Whizz!" Zhu Meng arrived at the gates of the Holy Pill Sect. With a single swing of his saber, he unleashed an Overlord Slash. The fiery blade aura cut through the void, sending ripples echoing outward. The seemingly simple gate was actually covered in intricate array patterns. "Sect Leader of the Mad Saber Sect, Zhu Meng, listen up! Leave at once!" Lu Junyi paused, activated his blood vitality, and shouted: "If you don’t, this old man will activate the array to attack you!" Zhu Meng stood with an imposing aura in front of the Holy Pill Sect’s mountain gate. His eyes burned with the flames of vengeance, and the mad saber in his hand seemed to yearn to tear everything apart. His cultivation had reached the ninth level of the Marrow Refining Realm, an entire major realm above Gu Sheng, which filled him with confidence. "Lu Junyi, you shameless scoundrel! You’ve allowed your subordinate to slaughter my son wantonly!" Zhu Meng roared, his voice thunderous and rolling like a storm. The Holy Pill Sect was no easy sect to breach. Above the mountain gate, defensive arrays were densely layered, resembling an unbreakable shield. Any attempt to attack them would automatically trigger the arrays, unleashing counterattacks of devastating power that could strike fear into anyone daring to make a move. Zhu Meng, however, cared not. He swung his saber at the mountain gate, a sharp sword qi splitting through the sky. When the sword qi struck the array, it was rebounded by an immense force, forcing Zhu Meng to dodge quickly. "Hahaha! Zhu Meng, do you think you can break through the defenses of my Holy Pill Sect with your strength?" Lu Junyi’s voice came from within the mountain gates, filled with mockery and contempt. Zhu Meng, enraged, snarled, "Lu Junyi, you cowardly turtle! Dare to come out and face me one-on-one!" Lu Junyi remained unmoved, continuing with a taunting tone, "Zhu Meng, oh Zhu Meng, you’re far too naive. You think your ninth level of the Marrow Refining Realm is enough to flaunt here at my Holy Pill Sect? Let me tell you, this is just the beginning of your humiliation!" "Boom!" Zhu Meng was completely provoked. He wielded his mad saber, relentlessly attacking the array on the mountain gates. Each of his attacks was effortlessly deflected by the array, slowly wearing down the spiritual energy shield surrounding him. If not for the powerful defense of his Tiger Battle Armor, he might have already perished under the onslaught of light beams emanating from the array. Suddenly. Wen Mingyan darted out from within the mountain gates, a longsword in hand, aiming directly at Zhu Meng’s critical points. "Zhu Meng, your arrogance and conceit have finally brought you to this point!" Wen Mingyan sneered coldly. "Did you really think you could breach the gates of my Holy Pill Sect with your strength? Utterly laughable!" A flicker of fear gleamed in Zhu Meng’s eyes; he hadn’t expected Gu Sheng to appear at such a moment. As a cultivator at the ninth level of the Marrow Refining Realm, how could Zhu Meng concede so easily? He swung his mad saber, engaging in a fierce duel with Wen Mingyan. Their figures blurred in the air, flashes of blade and sword light intertwining and dancing incessantly. Zhu Meng’s strength was overwhelming; every swing of his saber seemed capable of splitting heaven and earth. Wen Mingyan, however, moved like the wind, and with each strike, he skillfully evaded Zhu Meng’s blade. As the battle dragged on, the injuries on Zhu Meng’s body grew increasingly severe. His spiritual energy shield had shattered, and the Tiger Battle Armor on him was riddled with fractures. He had no choice but to admit that while Lu Junyi’s power wasn’t equal to his, Lu Junyi possessed exceptional intelligence and strategy. Using the terrain and arrays of the Holy Pill Sect to his advantage, Lu Junyi consistently dodged Zhu Meng’s attacks while waiting for an opportunity to counter. Finally, in the midst of an intense clash, Wen Mingyan spotted a fatal opening in Zhu Meng’s defenses. With a decisive thrust, he drove his longsword toward Zhu Meng’s chest, aiming for his vitals. Even though Zhu Meng reacted swiftly, his grave injuries prevented him from fending off Wen Mingyan’s attack. "Ah!" Zhu Meng let out a harrowing cry as the longsword pierced through his chest. He stared at Wen Mingyan in disbelief, his eyes filled with unwillingness and regret. Wen Mingyan withdrew his longsword, his gaze icy as he looked down at Zhu Meng. "Zhu Meng, you were indeed brave, but this is the domain of my Holy Pill Sect." With that, Wen Mingyan soared back into the sect gates. Zhu Meng collapsed to the ground, gravely wounded. "It’s all my fault for not heeding Xue Ji’s advice!" He knew well that Xue Ji’s intentions were good, but in his rage, he simply couldn’t control his emotions. "Sect Leader Zhu Meng of the Mad Saber Sect has been defeated!" "Even someone at the ninth level of the Marrow Refining Realm couldn’t match Master Wen!" "Although Master Wen is only at the eighth level of the Marrow Refining Realm, the Sword Intent he’s comprehended makes him invincible among his peers!" "How could Zhu Meng, as the sect leader of the Mad Saber Sect, attack our Holy Pill Sect alone?" "This all stemmed from Senior Brother Gu Sheng!" For a moment, the Holy Pill Sect was abuzz with endless discussion. "Senior Brother Gu can really stir up trouble. Last time it was Thousand Poison Sect’s Elder Wu Gui he brought upon us." "Exactly. It’s always a blood feud, a vengeance for killing a son. No wonder these big figures keep confronting us alone!" "The hatred of having one’s son killed is irreconcilable!" "It’s always these pampered disciples courting death. They bullied the weak before, but meeting Senior Brother Gu is like encountering the King Yan alive!" After a series of sensational events, Gu Sheng had become the focal point of the Holy Pill Sect. Not just within the Holy Pill Sect—throughout the entire Red Cloud Prefecture, Gu Sheng had become a figure of renown. The Governor Mansion. "I hear things have been lively at the Holy Pill Sect these past few days." Jiang Bai sipped his tea, his eyes drifting toward the steward Jiang He, as though lost in thought.
