Within the enormous nest on a thick sycamore tree of the Desolate Land, the Undying Phoenix could be seen. On the mountain that this sycamore tree was located, all kinds of bird could be seen everywhere. Indeed, this was the kingdom of birds.

Bang!

A beam of colorful ray shot from afar.

“Little Blue,” A voice said.

“Yu!”

The Undying Phoenix, which was resting, spread its huge wings and ascended into the air, joining the colorful beam of light.

Holding the Reincarnation Spear, Teng Qingshan stood on the back of the Undying Phoenix and pointed towards the Shooting Sun God Mountain. The urge to kill flashed in his eyes as he roared, “Little Blue, let’s go!”

Whoosh!

Leaving a red afterimage, the Undying Phoenix disappeared before the eyes of countless birds.

The Shooting Sun God Mountain was located at the border of the Desolate Land.

The mountain was as high as the clouds. The peak of the mountain even reached through the clouds. On a hill behind the peak of the Shooting Sun God Mountain, a silver-haired hunter, dressed in animal fur, could be seen sitting quietly in front of a wooden cabin. A timeworn black Godly Bow was placed in front of him and an enormous silver wolf rested on the ground beside him.

“Zhuge Yuanhong said he will be revealing the truth to all members of Gui Yuan Sect today?” A cold glint flickered in the eyes of the silver-haired hunter as he smirked, “What truth can he reveal?”

“The ones who carried out the plan are already dead.”

“The two most important people are gone. Their bodies have been burned to ashes. No matter how Gui Yuan Sect investigates, they can’t possibly find any evidence that can link this incident to the Shooting Sun God Mountain ” As the only Emptiness Realm Expert of the Shooting Sun God Mountain, the silver-haired hunter, Shen Gongfu, was executing a very dangerous plan. And so, he had to be very careful

Considering the circumstances, he had to be extra careful!

Indeed, he had ensured that nothing would go wrong!

“Unfortunately, the timing was not right. When we tried to kill Teng Qingshan’s son Teng Hongwu, Teng Qingshan was in Yong An County,” Shen Gongfu shook his head. Dissatisfaction showed in his eyes as he roared, “Teng Qingshan! You killed my brother! Yet, you managed to save your son… Hmph, you’re lucky!”

Shen Gongfu hated Teng Qingshan down to the marrow of his bones, but he just didn’t have the courage to do anything.

“If a member of Gui Yuan Sect killed Teng Qingshan’s son, there will be a conflict between Teng Qingshan and Gui Yuan Sect. Even if Teng Qingshan did not break off the relationship with Gui Yuan Sect, he would never fight for Gui Yuan Sect anymore. If things went according to this plan, the Shooting Sun God Mountain would have nothing to worry about. It is unfortunate that we wasted such a good opportunity. Teng Qingshan’s son was lucky!” Shen Gongfu still felt very bitter.

Shen Gongfu was not worried that the failure of this plan would reveal that the Shooting Sun God Mountain was the mastermind… He was very confident that he didn’t leave any evidence. Gui Yuan Sect would never find any evidence.

“Hmm?”

Suddenly, Shen Gongfu’s expression changed. He could clearly sense the presence of a powerful Emptiness Realm Expert in his domain. Simultaneously, he also detected the aura of a black hole. Frightened by what he had just detected, Shen Gongfu quickly turned and looked towards the location of the Emptiness Realm Expert.

A fiery red beam of light was heading towards him.

“Oh no! It’s the Undying Phoenix.” Shen Gongfu was horrified. He hastily shouted out, notifying the Shooting Sun Heavenly Wolf to flee immediately.

Swoosh! Swoosh!

The man and the demonic wolf hastily fled in different directions. They would never be able to outrun the incredibly fast Undying Phoenix. If they had run towards the same direction, both of them would not be able to survive.

“Little Blue, kill the demonic wolf.” Teng Qingshan pointed towards the Shooting Sun Heavenly Wolf. At the same time, he jumped from the back of Undying Phoenix and launched himself towards Shen Gongfu, leaving a colorful and bright afterimage.

“Caw!”

The Undying Phoenix gave out a high pitched tweet and went the other way. While it pursued the Shooting Sun Heavenly Wolf, Teng Qingshan pursued Shen Gongfu!

“Since the rise of the Shooting Sun God Mountain, the Shooting Sun Heavenly Wolf had been an Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast. If the wolf was still alive, the Shooting Sun God Mountain would still have a chance of rising back up from ashes.” In Teng Qingshan’s opinion, an Emptiness Realm Demonic Beast that was loyal to a sect held an even greater threat than an Emptiness Realm Expert.

That was because the Emptiness Realm demonic beasts lived longer than humans.

The Shooting Sun Heavenly Wolf could rise again when Teng Qingshan had reached the end of his lifespan. In fact, the wolf might even take revenge for what Teng Qingshan had done. Teng Qingshan would never allow this to happen in the future.

“Elder Wu, may your soul watch how the Shooting Sun Heavenly Wolf is going to die,” The Teng Qingshan was filled with the urge to kill. In such a frenzied state, he went after Shen Gongfu.

When Shen Gongfu crashed into the ground like a meteorite, he had already flown out of Shooting Sun God Mountain.

During the past twenty years, he had achieved a breakthrough. He had reached the Culmination of Emptiness Realm and could finally fly in the air… However, if he had flown in midair and the Undying Phoenix was his pursuer, he would have nowhere to escape.

“Teng Qingshan, it’s you!” As Shen Gongfu landed, he turned back and saw Teng Qingshan’s furious facial expression. Shen Gongfu was shocked. “Teng Qingshan reached the Insightful Emptiness Realm?” He thought to himself.

In the Land of the Nine Prefectures, the Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert was considered an extremely horrifying existence.

“How dare you attempt to kill my son! Shen Gongfu, die!” Teng Qingshan’s eyes glowed furiously.

Boom!”

Shen Gongfu crashed into the ground as if it was water. Teng Qingshan followed behind, entering the earth.

It was completely dark underground.

Shen Gongfu fled ahead, while Teng Qingshan was chasing behind.

“Teng Qingshan, why did you say I tried to kill your son? Don’t make such false accusation.” Shen Gongfu said angrily with the use of the Sound Transmission Technique.

“Just admit it.” Teng Qingshan replied through the Sound Transmission Technique.

“Hmph, I can assure that I did not send someone to kill your son. For the past twenty years, the actions of the Shooting Sun God Mountain have been proper. Even when Xing Yi Sect was wantonly recruiting disciples in Yanzhou, the Shooting Sun God Mountain did and said nothing. Why would the Shooting Sun God Mountain send someone to kill your son?” Shen Gongfu replied nervously.

“My teacher said so. Why would he lie?” Teng Qingshan continued pursuing at full speed.

The Insightful Emptiness Realm Experts were powerful, but they were slightly slower than the Emptiness Realm Experts.

Teng Qingshan needed to keep Shen Gongfu on the run and notify the Undying Phoenix to intercept Shen Gongfu. And so, Shen Gongfu had to dig as deep as possible so that Teng Qingshan would have no way of informing the Undying Phoenix.

“Zhuge Yuanhong is trying to hit two birds with one stone. Gui Yuan Sect has always coveted the Shooting Sun God Mountain. He is using this chance to make up lies so that you can be his pawn. He is using you for Gui Yuan Sect.” Shen Gongfu tried to explain and he sounded very convincing.

Yet, Teng Qingshan did not believe at all.

Teng Qingshan was not stupid!

No!

When Teng Qingshan heard his teacher publicly declare the start of a battle against the Shooting Sun God Mountain, he already suspected that his teacher had said so intentionally so he could serve as a weapon for Gui Yuan Sect. And so, Teng Qingshan asked his teacher, “Was the Shooting Sun God Mountain really the mastermind?”

Zhuge Yuanhong’s reply only had one word, “Yes.”

“I believe you!”

And that was Teng Qingshan’s response.

…

Shen Gongfu, who was on the run, became nervous and said hastily, “What proof did Zhuge Yuanhong give you? Do not be fooled by him. You are becoming his pawn! He is using you!”

Suddenl—,

“Roar!”

A painful wailing of a wolf sounded underground. The sound was so loud that it even shook the earth.

“Heavenly Wolf!” Shen Gongfu’s expression changed.

Teng Qingshan, who was pursuing Shen Gongfu, immediately shaped the Power of his World into a narrow thread and tried to extend the thread for as long as possible… Because he had achieved a small success in the Insightful Emptiness Realm and because he had abundant Power of the World, he was able to extend the thread-shaped power to a length of 50-60 Li. Basically, he was able to transmit his voice 50-60 Li away.

“Little Blue!

…

Amidst the burning purple and golden flames, the Shooting Sun Heavenly Wolf could be seen howling painfully. Soon, everything around the wolf, including the rocks and mud, was burned into ashes.

“Little Blue!” A familiar-sounding voice rang.

The Undying Phoenix, which was surrounded by black and white flames, rushed towards the source of the voice while giving out a loud tweet. After flying for a few hundred miles, the Undying Phoenix was finally found by a strand of Teng Qingshan’s Power of the World.

Swoosh!

The Undying Phoenix dashed rapidly, following this strand of Power of the World.

Even though they have reached the deepest part of the earth and were surrounded by burning hot magma, Shen Gongfu felt extremely cold. His face was pale and he was terrified.

“Crap!” Shen Gongfu could detect the Undying Phoenix within his domain.

“The Heavenly Wolf is dead. if I die, then the Shooting Sun God Mountain will…” Shen Gongfu was very worried.

However, no matter how much he worried, there was nothing he could do. The Undying Phoenix was approaching at a very fast pace.

“Teng Qingshan, the Shooting Sun God Mountain really did not try to kill your son,” As death drew near, Shen Gongfu was still trying to convince Teng Qingshan. He could not think of any evidence that Zhuge Yuanhong could find…

“Still lying when you are almost dead.” Teng Qingshan’s voice sounded.

“Boom!”

The aura of the Undying Phoenix streaked past, stopping Shen Gongfu from the front and forcing him to turn and flee to the side. The magma and the hard rocks in the magma were easily deflected off. Because of the sharp turn, the distance between Teng Qingshan and Shen Gongfu shortened a lot.

He was within the range of Teng Qingshan’s long-range attacks.

“Are you really still trying to escape?” A flying knife appeared in Teng Qingshan’s right hand.

He instilled the Power of the World into his knife and threw it forcefully!

Swoosh!

A ray of colorful light flew past.

When a concealed weapon was used by an Emptiness Realm Expert, the concealed weapon would be of no threat to other Emptiness Realm Experts. However, if the person who threw the concealed weapon was an Insightful Emptiness Realm Expert, then the result would very different.

As Teng Qingshan achieved small success in the Insightful Emptiness Realm, the flying knife he threw was as powerful as the full-blown punch of an expert who had attained the Emptiness Realm Culmination.

This was also why the knives of Pei San could injure Emptiness Realm demonic beasts so badly.

Boom! A strong wave of heat pervaded as the Undying Phoenix appeared before Shen Gongfu again.

“No,” Shen Gongfu’s face became even paler.

Teng Qingshan also appeared behind him.

He was trapped. Furthermore, he was injured badly. There was no way he could escape.

“You can’t escape anymore,” Teng Qingshan looked at Shen Gongfu indifferently. The surrounding hot magma was pushed away by Teng Qingshan’s Power of the World, creating a huge space.

Shen Gongfu’s face turned pale white as he placed his hand on his chest.

He did not want to die!

Once he died, it would be the end for the Shooting Sun God Mountain.

“Teng Qingshan,” said Shen Gongfu nervously, “If you let me live, I will tell you the identity of the real mastermind who wanted to kill your son.”
