Divine Hint: Reporting An Escaped Convict From The Start

In a ceaseless display, brilliantly luminous sword radiance intermittently gleamed, thoroughly illuminating the surroundings and piercing through the extensive shroud of demonic aura.

In yet another advancement, the Star Demon Sword was elevated from its prior status as a medium-grade immortal artifact to a high-grade one.

At the moment the Star Demon Sword advanced..

Rumble!

Suddenly, thunderous roars echoed across the skies above the back mountains of the Tianxing Pavilion. Ominous thunderclouds stretched across the entirety of the Tianxing Sect, casting an oppressive shadow.

“What’s happening? Why are there thunderclouds?”

“Could it be that a formidable expert is attempting to cultivate a transcendent technique and thus attracting tribulation?”

“It feels so scary!”

The sudden thunder jolted everyone within the Tianxing Sect, prompting involuntary outbursts of astonishment.

It was not only the disciples of the Tianxing Sect. At this moment, even the peak masters and elders were alarmed.

At this moment, in the hall on the main peak of the Tianxing Sect, two majestic figures sat cross-legged across from one another, appearing as if they were playing chess amidst the clouds.

One of these figures was garbed in Baiyi attire. This individual was none other than the Sect Master of the Tianxing Sect, MO Tianxing, a cultivator who had attained the ninth-grade Mystic Immortal realm.

As the resounding thunder reverberated, MO Tianxing, who was in the midst of making a move on the chessboard, momentarily paused. The sudden peal of thunder startled him just as much.

Subsequently, a slight crease formed on MO Tianxing’s brow. He gazed toward a certain direction, casting his eyes downward at the sky. That particular direction aligned with the forbidden precinct situated at the back mountain of the Tianxing Sect. A discernible pavilion lay within that area. However, the restrictive forces present within prevented even the sect master of the Tianxing Sect from prying into the circumstances therein.

This was because the Heavenly Pavilion had been passed down by the Tianxing Sect through countless years. Even the guardian of this generation had to call him Martial Uncle.

This phenomenon had emerged suddenly, yet MO Tianxing promptly discerned its significance. This thunderous occurrence was undoubtedly linked to the activities taking place within the back mountain.

“Indeed, the Tianxing Sect is one of the five major sects of the nine provinces.

It houses an impressive array of talents! This Wex… is truly exceptional…” In this moment, a trace of gleam flickered within the eyes of the middle-aged man adorned in a black robe, the individual seated across from MO Tianxing.

He, too, employed his divine sense to probe the situation, albeit without yielding any discernible results. The question begged, how was the opposing party capable of concealing their maneuvers from his detection?

This black-robed man’s age appeared to be comparable to that of MO

Tianxing’s. A cursory estimate would place him within his forties or fifties. Despite veiling his cultivation, a palpable aura of substantial weightiness emanated from him.

To sit as a chess opponent directly across MO Tianxing was indicative of this individual’s exceptional standing. He was clearly no ordinary figure.

Then, the black-robed man looked at MO Tianxing.

“Sect Head MO, have you considered it? This chess game is a little long…” The black-robed man smiled at MO Tianxing.

MO Tianxing’s expression did not change when he heard this. He said directly, “There’s no need for deliberation.’

Surprise etched across the features of the black-robed man as he caught MO Tianxing’s response.

He wanted to see how MO Tianxing would choose.

The next moment, MO Tianxing placed his piece.

In the ensuing moment, MO Tianxing laid down his piece, prompting an immediate transformation in the chessboard’s configuration.

Observing this, the black-robed man’s expression shifted once more. He addressed MO Tianxing promptly, “In that case, Sect Master MO, you’re about to be caught in a precarious position. It appears likely that you’ll end up losing. ”

“The outcome remains uncertain. It’s difficult to predict who will emerge victorious. Even if we are indeed defeated, we possess no regrets. At least… no regrets… ”

MO Tianxing’s voice held a faint smile, as though he possessed a remarkably open disposition.

He comprehended that the other party’s words didn’t allude to the situation on the chessboard, but rather, to him.

“What a good thing! In that case, I won’t say anything else. Then…

Once again, the black-robed man’s voice trailed off with an undercurrent of secrecy. Before he could conclude, his expression shifted once more. A black jade token emerged from his possession, an item that resembled a communication device. In that instant, it commenced transmitting information.

Then, the black-robed man looked at MO Tianxing and said directly, “Sect Head MO, looks like we can’t play this game anymore. I suddenly have something to do…”

“That’s acceptable. Commander Qin’s directives are clear! I understand… I’ll retain our match for a future engagement.”

Mo Tianxing’s response was composed. The individual before him hailed from the Nine Provinces Immortal King Hall, bearing the rank of one of the eight commanders serving under the Hundred Battles Immortal King. An eighth-grade Mystic Immortal, he held significant standing.

This time, the individual was here on the Immortal King’s orders, seeking to compel the Tianxing Sect into yielding to the Hundred Battles Immortal King’s authority.

However, it was obvious that MO Tianxing refused.

As for the Hundred Battles Immortal King, he nominally presided over the Nine Provinces. He stood as a new immortal king figure within the Haotian Dynasty, governing an entire continent.

“Hundred Battles Immortal King” was his title.

The Tianxing Sect was one of the Five Great Sects of the Nine Provinces, renowned for its exceptional might. Furthermore, it posed latent threats to the stability of the Hundred Battles Immortal King’s position.

Consequently, the Hundred Battles Immortal King aspired to incorporate the Tianxing Sect under his dominion.

Naturally, this aspiration extended beyond just the Tianxing Sect. The other four sects also held similar designs, all craving the same.

Only through the subjugation or eradication of all Five Great Sects could the Immortal King’s Palace stand as the sole power in the Nine Provinces, achieving paramount supremacy. Such a scenario would allow the Immortal King to vie against the other Immortal Kings.

Human desires were endless, and so was the Hundred Battles Immortal King.

Even though the Hundred Battles Immortal King occupied a lofty station, his ambition spurred him to ascend further.

Furthermore, rivalry among immortal kings remained profoundly fierce, even within their own ranks.

“I’m leaving! However, I still have one more piece of advice for Sect Master

The black-robed man stood up and prepared to leave.

MO Tianxing also stood up. “Please speak.”

“If the Tianxing Sect wishes to endure, aligning with the Immortal King is the wisest and sole viable choice,” said the black-robed man directly.

“Hehe…’

When MO Tianxing heard this, he smiled faintly and said, “If that’s the case, will there still be a Tianxing Sect?”
