At the same time, more people kept arriving, including some from the Darkish Demonic Sect, and even some from the Bai Feng Sect!

Ling Xi, they're here.

Cao Zhen's gaze fell into the void where three people, including Ling Xi, were flying over.

Ever since the Eastern Wasteland and the Eastern Province became connected, the reputation of the Bai Feng Sect had been immense, and many eyes were on them because of it.

"They are from the Hundred Peaks Sect."

"Who would have thought the people from the Hundred Peaks Sect would dare to come here."

"I wonder which people from the Hundred Peaks Sect they are."

"That woman, that should be Ling Xi."

"Judging by her appearance and figure, it should indeed be Cao Zhen's disciple, Ling Xi."

"Cao Zhen's disciples, weren't they the ones whose cultivation base was forcibly raised by Cao Zhen with pills? Their foundations are insufficient, and it's impossible for them to break through to the Immortal Path Domain."

"They're merely in the Indestructible Period, yet they dare to enter such a perilous place now?"

Although many were looking at the people from the Hundred Peaks Sect, for a moment, no one made a move.

Some of the great teachings had friction with the Hundred Peaks Sect in the past, but it's common for great teachings to have conflicts.

If the current Hundred Peaks Sect were not a great teaching but still the Hundred Peaks Sect, perhaps they would have acted.

After all, when a sect has friction with a great teaching, it shows they don't regard the great teaching; the great teaching must defend its prestige.

But when a great teaching has friction with another great teaching, it's quite normal—everyone is of the same level, and there's no loss of face.

And the Bai Feng Sect, though not strong in their eyes, has a person like Cao Zhen.

Nowadays, among all the great teachings in the Eastern Province, it's universally acknowledged that Cao Zhen in his past life must have been an exceedingly terrifying reincarnated great ability, surpassing the ordinary reincarnated great abilities with his terrifying presence.

Most even believe that Cao Zhen in his past life reached beyond the True Immortal Realm to the legendary Golden Immortal existence.

After all, the methods Cao Zhen displayed were far too advanced and miraculous.

Even if Cao Zhen wasn't a Golden Immortal in his past life, he certainly mastered the complete legacy of an ancient, top great teaching.

For someone like that, while they may not be strong now, in time, they will certainly become one of the top existences.

They have no reason to offend Cao Zhen over minor frictions.

Of course, some great teachings wish to avoid troubling Cao Zhen, but some people are completely unafraid.

So what if you're a reincarnated great ability? Your Hundred Peaks Sect is weak now, so hold on until Cao Zhen grows strong enough.

"The people from the Hundred Peaks Sect?" From the Firmament Sect's direction, the leader there, upon hearing these words, displayed a look of resentment and said coldly, "They are the ones who stole our Righteous Qi, aren't they? Since they've presented themselves, we must settle this account."

As his words fell, five people from the Firmament Sect immediately flew to stand before the three including Ling Xi.

All around, those cultivators who hadn't left instantly noticed the movement from the Firmament Sect, all curious.

"What's going on? What are the people from the Firmament Sect trying to do?"

"There seems to be no grievance between the Firmament Sect and the Hundred Peaks Sect, right?"

"The Firmament Sect's Zheng Xiange, what's he planning to do?"

Amidst everyone's curious glances, from the Firmament Sect's side, Zheng Xiange came directly in front of Ling Xi, scrutinizing this beautiful female cultivator. His face suddenly took on a superior air as an elder looking at a younger, coldly stating, "So you are Ling Xi from the Hundred Peaks Sect."

Ling Xi's eyebrows slightly furrowed, and her face showed a trace of discontent; the tone and manner in which he looked at her were very off-putting.

Yet she held back, refraining from acting out, and replied, "I am indeed Ling Xi. I wonder what business Dao Companion has?"

They came here to help their master escape; she didn't wish to engage in conflict with others before seeing her master.

"Since you're Ling Xi, that simplifies things," Zheng Xiange said coldly. "At one time, the people from your Hundred Peaks Sect seized a strand of our Righteous Qi. How should we resolve this? Shouldn't your Hundred Peaks Sect give our Firmament Sect an explanation?"

"Seize your Righteous Qi? None from our Hundred Peaks Sect has ever seized your Firmament Sect's Righteous Qi!

Dao Companion, you should investigate clearly first," said Ling Xi, her expression immediately darkening. In their sect, the only one with Righteous Qi is Ru Wenlin.

And Ru Wenlin's Righteous Qi was sought out by the Righteous Qi itself, not seized from the Firmament Sect.

"Investigate? What needs investigating! Your Hundred Peaks Sect people did this, yet you won't admit it?" Zheng Xiange became furious and said, "I do not wish to hear your excuses. Now, either you hand over the Righteous Qi, or you come with me back to our Firmament Sect and have your people bring the Righteous Qi to exchange for you!"

He believed that once the Hundred Peaks people obtained Righteous Qi, they would certainly use it.

The Hundred Peaks Sect surely cannot produce the Righteous Qi, meaning these people need not return to the Hundred Peaks Sect.

Ling Xi, after all, is Cao Zhen's disciple, and he had heard that Cao Zhen possesses a rare secret cultivation technique for body tempering.

Bringing Ling Xi and others back to their Firmament Sect, they naturally have ways to make Ling Xi and them reveal that cultivation technique.

Even if Ling Xi remains silent, once the experts in the Immortality Regainment Realm awaken, they can forcefully soul search to uncover that cultivation technique.
