"He is not someone from our world."

Protector Zhan rarely spoke to Qingdie, but today was likely the day he spoke the most.

Perhaps the shock in his heart was so immense that he couldn't calm down, needing to say more.

"Maybe..."

Qingdie felt a wave of sorrow inside her. Only she knew what thoughts were swirling in her mind.

Ever since the news of the Beast Taming Sect's destruction by powerful cultivators spread.

The Southeast Region was completely in an uproar.

Several top forces even called upon sects and families of the same rank for discussions.

This incident clearly wielded significant intimidation on the two regional powers.

Inside a mountain gate in the Southern Region imbued with Sword Intent.

On the plaza, young male and female cultivators practiced their cultivation, sparred, and wielded swords.

Each elegant figure embodied seductive grace at its peak.

There was also a group of playful male and female cultivators gathered on a mound, eagerly discussing the recent sensational sect destruction.

"Tsk tsk! If you ask me, the cultivator who turned the Beast Taming Sect into scorched earth must have reached the Foundation Establishment Stage!"

"Probably, otherwise, how could they have destroyed a top-tier sect entirely?"

"And I've heard that the Beast Taming Sect had a Soul Beast comparable to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Without Foundation Establishment-level cultivation, how could they possibly subdue that Soul Beast?"

"Terrifying!"

...

Upon hearing the discussion among the senior brothers and sisters, a delicate figure who was dancing with her sword halted her movements. Another innocent girl, about seventeen or eighteen, also stopped.

"Did you just say the Beast Taming Sect was destroyed?"

"Hmm? You, little junior sister, how are you even speaking? No etiquette at all towards the senior brothers and sisters?"

An enraged female cultivator with a ponytail scolded the delicate girl for her inquiry.

"Oh, I see who it is, it's Murong Shan, the so-called waste brought back by Elder Tianjian."

"Hehe, don't say that. Didn't you see she has Qi Cultivation of the twelfth layer?"

"Pfft! A weak cultivator from the Huaxia Realm, her twelfth-level Qi Cultivation isn't even as formidable as our junior brothers who are at Qi Cultivation of the eleventh layer."

...

"You bunch of self-righteous guys, my young lady is the closed-door disciple of Elder Tianjian, keep envying her all you want!"

Xiaowu couldn't hold it anymore, ever since her lady came to the Spirit Sword Sect, she had faced ridicule and mockery from these people.

What right did they have?

In terms of cultivation, they were also at the Qi Cultivation twelfth layer, some might not even reach the tenth layer.

Where did they get their sense of superiority?

"You little..."

"Everyone, stop quarreling, the elders and Sect Leader in the sect don't have time for you. Are you trying to pick a fight?"

At this moment, a handsome man in a white robe bearing a heavy sword appeared among Murong Shan and the others.

"Chief disciple!"

"Chief disciple!"

The appearance of the man in white immediately commanded everyone's deference.

The pinnacle among the disciples of the Spirit Sword Sect, chief disciple under the Sect Leader, with mid-stage Qi Cultivation of the thirteenth layer, Shangguan Jingchen!

"Do you young folks still see me as your chief disciple?"

Shangguan Jingchen glanced at the young men and women gathered around.

"Of course, we do!"

"Chief disciple will always be my idol!"

...

"Shameless!"

Watching the crowd flatter Shangguan Jingchen, Xiaowu muttered quietly.

Xiaowu's frail voice immediately drew the anger of all, but none dared to erupt.

When the higher-ups of the sect were absent, Chief Disciple Shangguan Jingchen was the leader of everyone.

"Chief disciple, have the sect's elders gone to meet with other powers recently?"

A sneaky-looking man among the crowd asked.

This voice made the nearby disciples stop their activities.

The higher-ups went to confer with other top powers' leaders.

This was possibly related to the recent sect eradication case that shook the two regions.

"Indeed, I presume you all know by now, the top-tier sect in the Southeast Region was destroyed, leaving only a charred wasteland."

"What! The Beast Taming Sect was leveled!"

Upon hearing this news, Xiaowu and Murong Shan were both shocked.

"What happened? Haven't you two heard?"

Seeing Murong Shan and Xiaowu shaking their heads, Shangguan Jingchen roughly understood.

Brought back from the Huaxia Realm by Elder Tianjian, they likely had no friends within the sect.

Since they had no friends, they naturally didn't receive outside information, how pitiful.

"Chief disciple, please tell us, what exactly is going on?"

Mou Rong Shan asked excitedly.

She wouldn't forget, her presence in the Spirit Sword Sect was entirely because of his help.

If it weren't for him, she might still be in the Murong Family and perhaps would never venture far.

"Since little junior sister wants to know, let me tell you..."

For this yet-to-make-friends junior sister in the sect, Shangguan Jingchen fulfilled his duty as a chief disciple by explaining the spreading news about the destruction of the Beast Taming Sect in the Southeast Region.

Revisiting the case of the Beast Taming Sect, many young cultivators felt their blood boiling.

Not just them, all cultivators in the Southeast Region were exhilarated.

For a top-tier sect with thousands, even tens of thousands of years of legacy to be destroyed, it's truly shocking.

While shocking, there's also cause for worry, not knowing what harm this variable might bring to the two regions.

"Ah! It must be him! It must be him who destroyed the Beast Taming Sect!"

After a moment of silence, Xiaowu suddenly screamed.

"Hmm? Little junior sister, what do you know?"

Shangguan Jingchen became slightly serious.

"The one who destroyed the Beast Taming Sect, it definitely has to be the older brother I know!"

Pfft!

Upon hearing this, Shangguan Jingchen nearly burst out.

Everyone was silent.

The ignorant are fearless, and those who don't know aren't guilty, childish words are remorseless.

Silently reminding himself, Shangguan Jingchen quickly quelled his inner anger.

"Miss! Speak up, it must be Xia Liu who destroyed the Beast Taming Sect! It must be him!"

Sobbing, Xiaowu's tears flowed uncontrollably.

She remembered, that night at the Murong Family, as she mourned her parents and clan members, Xia Liu saw her.

After that, he seemed to promise her to flatten the Beast Taming Sect!

It has to be him!

"Xiaowu, without seeing Xia Liu, we can't be sure it was him. He only has Qi Cultivation of the thirteenth layer, how could he destroy the Beast Taming Sect."

Murong Shan remained rational.

She believed Xia Liu couldn't achieve that.

"It must be him, it must be him."

Xiaowu's tears welled up with a hint of breakdown.

The great revenge for her kin was finally avenged.

Even if not by her own hands, the scorched Wanshan Peak could provide solace to her relatives in the afterlife.

"Haha! Don't make me laugh to death, claiming to have such powerful friends within the sect when you have no advantage whatsoever?"
