C399 Martial King Attacks Lower(1)

A figure stood in the air above the Profound Heaven Sect, face obscured by a black cloth. Despite the mask, many below easily recognized the figure as the expert from the Heavenly Martial Sect. It had been less than ten days since this person last appeared at the sect, so there was no mistaking them. Besides, in the entire Heavenly Martial region, only one expert of this level was known.

The Heavenly Martial Sect's approach was straightforward. It was like trying to cover one's ears while stealing a bell—futile, yet it also showed a certain confidence. The sect was bound to make a move; they wouldn't allow a King Rank weapon to fall into the hands of another sect, especially when they didn't possess one themselves. Everyone understood this, no matter how much they tried to disguise or hide it. People could still guess it was them.

So, the Heavenly Martial Sect didn't bother with elaborate disguises. A simple black cloth sufficed, letting everyone know it was them, yet leaving no concrete evidence. If it weren't for the constraints of the Martial Alliance Pact, they wouldn't even bother with the cloth.

The law of the jungle prevails; the strong devour the weak. You can be angry or dissatisfied, but you can't change it. Often, anger and dissatisfaction stem from a lack of power. Many who once felt this way, upon gaining greater strength, would only reinforce this law more vividly.

After arriving at the Profound Heaven Sect, the expert at Martial King level didn't make a move or speak. He simply hovered silently in the air for about an hour, ensuring his presence was known by all. Once everyone was aware, he descended to the entrance of the sect.

At that time, the bodies of the people from the three sects of Fallen Sun Country still lay unclaimed. The expert waved his hand, gathering the corpses and setting them ablaze.

Unperturbed, he sat cross-legged beside the burning bodies, closing his eyes to meditate. His goal was clear: he was there for the No Life Sword. Whether Woo Zhengyang was truly absent from the Profound Heaven Sect or just trying to deceive everyone, he didn't care. The sect was right there, and if Woo Zhengyang didn't show up, the sect would be no more. That was the message he intended to convey.

Given Woo Zhengyang's character, many believed he would eventually appear. Sure enough, by the evening of the second day, Woo Zhengyang showed up, accompanied by four women, sparking envy among many onlookers.

Woo Zhengyang had barely entered Dongjue Country when he heard about the expert's attack. He quickly got the details from the person spreading the news. Since the Heavenly Martial Sect was being so blatant, there was no need for him to hide. He and the four women appeared openly before everyone. As he moved through the crowd, Woo Zhengyang spotted the figure in the gray robe.

This was the first time Woo Zhengyang had encountered this expert at the Martial King level. During the last Heavenly Martial Dao Discussing Great Association, this expert had appeared, but it was to pursue Moh Lunhui. By the time Woo Zhengyang emerged from the Heavenly Martial Realm, the expert had already gone after Moh Lunhui.

Woo Zhengyang had speculated whether Moh Lunhui, with his every move calculated, might have managed to trap this expert and eliminate him outside. However, it seemed Moh Lunhui hadn't reached such an extraordinary level yet. As for whether the expert was injured, Woo Zhengyang had no idea.

Others might consider another possibility: that the expert had already captured Moh Lunhui. But Woo Zhengyang was certain this was nearly impossible. Given Moh Lunhui's cunning and status, being caught by a Martial King would be a laughingstock. Besides, a reborn Emperor of Reincarnation would be far more valuable than a King Rank weapon. If the expert had indeed captured Moh Lunhui, he wouldn't be here now.

As Woo Zhengyang appeared, the figure remained motionless. Woo Zhengyang, too, showed no sign of stopping. He continued walking with the four women, ignoring the expert as if he were invisible. In no time, they passed each other at a distance of less than thirty feet.

The expert remained seated cross-legged. Woo Zhengyang kept his gaze straight ahead, focusing on the direction of the Profound Heaven Sect's entrance, and continued his steady pace forward.

Everyone was stunned.

Just a moment ago, as the two passed each other, many expected them to make a move, perhaps even at the perfect opportunity, simultaneously. To catch every detail, people’s eyes were wide open like never before.

Who would have thought that while the spectators were sweating with tension, the two groups acted as if they didn’t even see each other, with nothing happening at all...

“You’re quite impressive. Whether it’s your talent or your courage, you’re not a bit inferior to that kid. I can’t believe I misjudged you that day!”

After Woo Zhengyang had walked a considerable distance, the expert couldn’t hold back any longer and spoke first. Everyone knew the “kid” he referred to was Moh Lunhui, but he didn’t say it outright, not wanting to leave any evidence. Even his voice was slightly altered.

Woo Zhengyang stopped but didn’t turn around. He simply replied, “A single misjudgment isn’t a big deal. Just make sure it doesn’t happen a second time, because sometimes a wrong judgment can cost you your life!”

A collective gasp echoed through the crowd.

No one expected the expert to speak first and even praise Woo Zhengyang, only for Woo Zhengyang to bluntly tear down the facade!

And the way Woo Zhengyang did it was a blatant threat!
