nd I felt that this couple resembled Su Qing and Luo Qian from the past. I didn't deliberately avoid them. However, that young male cultivator was more composed and restrained than Luo Qian.As for the...Above Xuan Ye City, on the peak of Bi Jiao Mountain Villa, a clear and piercing whistle, almost like an eagle's cry, rang out. A gigantic firebird with wings spanning four or five feet plummeted from the sky. On the back of the firebird, there was a young man brimming with youthful vigor, along with several bound cultivators. Among them, one could clearly see the middle-aged, plump cultivator who had been following Cheng Tao. However, all of them were unconscious, either knocked out or under some kind of constraint.
“Who dares to trespass on my Bi Jiao Mountain Villa!” Before the Fiery Bird could land, a thunderous roar erupted from within the Bi Jiao Mountain Villa. Several Foundation Establishment cultivators soared into the sky on their swords, encircling the Fiery Bird. These Foundation Establishment cultivators exuded an imposing aura. If the newcomer even slightly misbehaved, they would immediately attack.
"Greetings from the Wan Shou Ge. I am Shen Tianming, come to pay my respects!" A valiant young man atop a blazing bird laughed loudly as he leaped down from the sky, one hand holding several bound individuals.

"Shen Tianming You dared to barge in without accepting my invitation from the Bi Jiao Mountain Villa. Even if you are a disciple of the Wan Shou Ge, you're being too disrespectful to our Villa, aren't you" The leading cultivator among the group who intercepted him, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, said with an unpleasant expression.

“Some of you seem to have misunderstood. I heard that your Bi Jiao Mountain Villa was offering a reward for the whereabouts of several traitors. Coincidentally, I was lucky enough to run into them and apprehend them. I specially brought them here. If I have offended in any way, please forgive me. Let's see if these are the people you're looking for.” Shen Tianming explained with a slight bow.
"Zhu Er, Wu Kong, Luo Dafeng, it really is the three of them. I've been searching high and low, but they were right here all along without any effort." Another middle-aged cultivator saw the few people still confused and was immediately furious.
"Then many thanks to Daoist Shen. Come, take these rebels away." The middle-aged man with thick eyebrows roared, and several low-level cultivators immediately stepped forward.
“Wait!” Shen Tianming’s face flashed with a hint of displeasure.

"What do you mean, Daoist Shen" Cheng Guang, a middle-aged man with thick eyebrows, frowned and looked at Shen Tianming.
“Ever since I was defeated by Cheng Tao of your esteemed establishment last time, I have been in seclusion to cultivate. Now that my injuries are healed, I intend to challenge Cheng Tao once again to settle the score. However, over the past few days, you have repeatedly declined, showing a lack of sincerity. This time, I have brought the traitor to you. Regardless of the circumstances, you must give me an explanation and stop evading the issue.”

Shen Tianming didn't care about the unfriendly gazes of the people present. He was a top-level cultivator in Xuanye City, and although the people in front of him were also good, they might not be his opponents. If it weren't for the fact that there was still a Jindan cultivator stationed at Bi Jiao Mountain Villa, he would definitely not be so polite to these people.
“You!” The middle-aged man with furrowed brows was enraged, but Shen Tianming before him seemed unfazed. Clearly, he didn’t take the middle-aged man seriously. The middle-aged man also knew that in the cultivation world, strength spoke louder than words. Although someone from Bi Jiao Mountain Villa had defeated Shen Tianming, it was Cheng Tao who possessed the Bi Jiao Pearl. It wasn’t him. Even if he were Cheng Tao’s elder, it wasn't surprising that Shen Tianming didn't take him seriously.
“Well then, you aren't going to hand these people over”
"That depends on your sincerity. If you don't give me what I want, I'll take these people away." Shen Tianming ignored the anger on the middle-aged man's face.
"If that's the case, why did you come here"
At this time, on the back mountain of Bijiao Villa, a majestic voice sounded. Although it was several miles away, the sound was clear and audible.
“Master!” The Cheng family cultivators present, upon hearing the voice, were all startled and immediately bowed, their faces full of respect.
"I am Shen Tianming, junior. I greet you with respect, senior. My previous defeat at the hands of your descendant weighed heavily on me. Now that I believe my strength has improved, I have come to challenge Cheng Tao once more." Although it was just a voice, it carried an extreme psychological pressure. Shen Tianming's earlier nonchalance vanished, replaced by deep respect.
“Cheng Tao It’s been some time since he returned. The few you brought are his attendants, the old man knew it as soon as I asked.”
After he finished speaking, a middle-aged man in gray clothes appeared from several dozen meters away. His robes fluttered as he moved gracefully. No one noticed how he came so quickly; with just a light step and a blink of an eye, he was right before them. His speed was astonishing, but even more incredible was that the middle-aged man seemed to be strolling leisurely in a garden, without a hint of urgency or aggression.

A Jindan cultivator was indeed extraordinary, but he hadn't expected that the one he caught was actually Cheng Tao's subordinate. If he had known this earlier, he could have simply asked the whereabouts of Cheng Tao from these people, saving himself a trip. However, he had failed to meet Cheng Tao several times and lacked an excuse to visit again. Seeing the reward list issued by the Cheng family, he saw that the group didn't say a word and directly attacked, defeating and knocking them unconscious before bringing them here. Unexpectedly, this blunder occurred.
A middle-aged, plump cultivator, along with two others, were quickly roused by the water. They only felt a chill throughout their bodies, but what chilled them to the bone was the gray-clad middle-aged man before them, Cheng Family's Golden Core ancestor!
“Master, Mistress, this servant is doomed, this servant is doomed! I failed to bring the young master back!” The middle-aged fat cultivator’s eyes flickered with a slight light, and then he started sobbing loudly, kneeling at the feet of the gray-clothed middle-aged man.
"Come on, what's going on Where did Tao go" The grey-clothed middle-aged man asked in a calm voice, without a hint of emotion.
“I followed the Second Young Master to retrieve the Golden Condensation Fruit. Unexpectedly, we encountered a powerful enemy, and the Second Young Master…” The middle-aged, fat cultivator didn't dare meet the gaze of the grey-robed middle-aged man. Thinking of Cheng Tao’s tragic death, the fat cultivator shuddered involuntarily. If not for fear of the Cheng family's punishment, he wouldn't have chosen to leave directly with the other two. He just didn't expect to be brought back anyway.”
"What's wrong with Tao'er Speak up quickly!" A chilling aura of murderous intent emanated from the gray-robed middle-aged man.
“At that time, we encountered three unfamiliar cultivators, two males and one female. All three were quite skilled, each with a magic treasure on their person. However, the other party had cheated and picked the Golden Condensing Fruit in advance. Afterward, we fought those three cultivators, and the second young master even seriously injured the woman. But, but unexpectedly, a black-faced youth arrived and with a single slash of his sword, he killed the second young master.” The middle-aged fat cultivator knew that he couldn't hide it anymore. Under the pressure of the Golden Core cultivator, he finally finished speaking.
"To have slain Cheng Tao with a single strike Could it be a Jindan cultivator" Shen Tianming was initially annoyed that he hadn't heard about the news of the Jin Dan fruit, but after hearing about Cheng Tao's fate, Shen Tianming felt a surge of relief. Thankfully, he hadn't gone. But while relieved, he couldn't help but look at it with disbelief.
"He's at the middle stage of Foundation Building, about the same cultivation level as the Second Young Master."tle as instructed and poured it out. A few drops of green liquid turned into green mist and merged into the severely injured primordial spirit of the three-headed white python.The three white pythons'...
