Chen Tianlong gently pushed Wu Mengting away from his embrace, lowered his head, and kissed her on the lips. This kiss would cement their relationship.

After leaving Tan Tian’s courtyard, Chen Tianlong remembered one thing: the jade that Mo Yun had.

What really happened back then? Before, Chen Tianlong didn’t have the capability, and he almost ended up in prison because of it. Now that his strength has improved, it is time to find out the truth.

In the Mo Family’s courtyard, Mo Yun was cultivating in the back mountain, on the verge of breaking through the first star of the Celestial Dao. Thankfully, Sect Leader Zhou Bin from the Celestial Martial Sect had brought him ten Qi Gathering Pills and gave him five, allowing him to continuously level up several times.

However, when it came to breaking through from tunnel seven stars to the Celestial Dao, Qi Gathering Pill was useless.

"Sect Leader Zhou, it seems I still need to find the Super Qi Gathering Pill, otherwise breaking through to the Celestial Dao is going to be very challenging," Mo Yun said.

"Yes, the Celestial Pill Sect’s trial is about to start. We can go together to participate," Zhou Bin, whose strength was fixed at the fourth star of the Celestial Dao, said. Three years had passed without any progress.

Now, wanting to advance was as difficult as reaching heaven. At the fourth star of the Celestial Dao, one could hardly advance without the Super Qi Gathering Pill. Even relying on the thin Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi might take twenty years to increase by one level.

"Yes, that’s what I thought too." Mo Yun nodded.

Suddenly, Zhou Bin sensed someone nearby and quickly signaled Mo Yun with a glance, then both hurriedly hid away.

Chen Tianlong was unaware that Zhou Bin was also present; otherwise, he wouldn’t have brazenly walked into the Mo Family’s back mountain, considering that Zhou Bin was the Sect Leader of the Celestial Martial Sect.

The Celestial Martial Sect is one of Huaxia’s Eight Great Sects, and they wiped out families like the Ancient Wu Family and Chen Family over a decade ago. It’s clear that their Sect Leader is formidable. 𝘧𝓇𝑒𝑒𝑤ℯ𝑏𝓃𝘰𝑣ℯ𝘭.𝘤ℴ𝘮

"Who’s there?"

Suddenly, Mo Yun jumped out from the house and delivered a strike forward.

Chen Tianlong knew Mo Yun’s strength wasn’t remarkable, so after sizing up his opponent’s move, he swiftly responded with a strike of equal strength.

Bang!

A dull sound echoed as their fists collided, and they quickly disengaged.

Mo Yun was surprised by the power of the visitor’s fist. In the Mortal Realm, few could tie with him, aside from the Sect Leaders of these few sects.

"It’s you."

Coming to his senses, Mo Yun finally made out the visitor’s face—it was that punk Chen Tianlong.

"Hehe, Mo Yun, long time no see." Chen Tianlong calmly responded with a composed smile.

"Hmph, I let you escape last time, and now you dare to come here? You are seeking your own death, don’t blame me, old man," Mo Yun said, preparing to attack Chen Tianlong again.

However, Chen Tianlong wasn’t there to fight; he wanted to learn about the events of the past.

Who betrayed them? Even though he found Junior Sister, the other dozen brothers died under unclear circumstances, which bothered Chen Tianlong greatly.

Mo Yun, presumably the one who dropped the jade pendant back then; Chen Tianlong didn’t believe he deliberately dropped it just so he could pick it up and misunderstand Mo Yun’s brother. It must have had another purpose.

"Is this the legendary figure Chen Tianlong?"

Upon hearing Chen Tianlong’s name, Zhou Bin furrowed his brow and stepped forward. He had long wanted to see this guy who managed to injure all his disciples, even his top disciple Zhou An was not spared.

Zhou Bin originally came to South Sea City intending to coordinate with Hao Shuai on how to attack the Black Alliance. Unexpectedly, Hao Shuai had already gone to Black Alliance City, so he temporarily stayed with the Mo Family, waiting for news from Hao Shuai.

Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong noticed Zhou Bin nearby.

At this time, Chen Tianlong furrowed his brow; he hadn’t even activated his Heart Method yet sensed something unusual. The evil vibe between his brows revealed that this person was an expert.

"Yes, I am Chen Tianlong. May I ask who you are?" Chen Tianlong, unsure whether the person was friend or foe, maintained a respectful stance since being associated with the Liu Family didn’t necessarily mean hostility.

But the next words instantly changed Chen Tianlong’s perception.

"I am Zhou Bin, Sect Leader of the Celestial Martial Sect," Zhou Bin introduced himself to ensure that Chen Tianlong knew there was enmity between them.

"Haha, so you’re the Sect Leader of the Celestial Martial Sect, pardon me."

Chen Tianlong feigned ignorance. He needed to provoke this guy, get the lay of the land before effectively dealing with them.

Mo Yun, being essentially useless, with a tunnel seven-star strength, truthfully wasn’t worth even being his footman; he could naturally be ignored.

"Hmph, stop pretending. You know best what grudge you hold against our Celestial Martial Sect. Old man had planned to come find you directly, but you showed up yourself," Zhou Bin said, his fourth star strength of the Celestial Dao revealing, caught Chen Tianlong off guard, causing him to retreat several steps.

The strength of the Celestial Martial Sect was not to be underestimated, especially their excellent defenses. Back then, Profound Celestial used the Vajra Shield; if not for having the Breaking Force, winning would have been impossible.

The current opponent is a fourth star Celestial Dao expert; if their Vajra Shield’s level is high, even the Breaking Force might struggle to breach their defenses.

"What do you want?" Chen Tianlong asked deliberately, trying to buy time to think of a way to break the opponent’s Vajra Shield.

But the opponent didn’t give him time to strategize, immediately executed an Inch Force attack.

Chen Tianlong was very familiar with this move. The old man knowing Inch Force indicated an inscrutable connection with the Assassin Group. But Chen Tianlong could use this move and certainly evade it.

"Whew~"

Chen Tianlong exhaled deeply, narrowly avoiding being hit by the guy—truly dangerous.

"So it’s someone from the Assassin Group, no wonder my disciples weren’t matches; Ye Feng’s father must have invested quite a bit into you," Zhou Bin, knowing Ye Feng, remarked. Although his strength advanced slowly, Ye Feng had already reached the Celestial Dao seven stars over the past decade.

"Haha, that’s right, I’m Ye Feng’s disciple, and my master is far more formidable than you. Be wise not to provoke me." Chen Tianlong wasn’t there intending to kill; he wanted to learn about the situation from Mo Yun, doing whatever was easiest.

"Really? Then let me see how powerful his disciple is." Saying this, Zhou Bin showed killing intent. They were in the Liu Family if he could eliminate Chen Tianlong, it would be perfect, not a single secret would leak.

If Chen Tianlong returned alive, it would be troublesome.

Seeing this, Chen Tianlong knew he had to change strategies; this person didn’t care about Ye Feng and intended to silence him.

Looking at Zhou Bin’s fist turning iron red, coming straight at him, Chen Tianlong quickly dodged, not daring to take the hit. After all, he had no idea about the power or peculiarities of the move, rashly intercepting it would be most unwise.

"Boom boom...."

Chen Tianlong had just dodged when a tree behind him was struck by a powerful Qi Flow, and the trunk blew up a cloud of black smoke, evidently infused with a strong Fire Attribute.
