Boundless immortal light erupted from within him. His eyes blazed, and divine radiance flooded the sky. The surrounding void crumbled as an invisible pressure spread across the heavens and earth.

From high above the firmament, countless dreadful divine beams rained down like heavenly punishment. In that instant, the countless Fierce Beasts surrounding the Divine Mountain were obliterated, body and soul.

"Though Sanqing has declined, our spirit remains unbroken! Your suspicions are the greatest insult to us!"

Zhang Yunting was wreathed in Law's Light, his power as immense as that of a world-creating deity and truly unstoppable.

He glowered at the Longhu Saint as a torrent of divine light erupted from his eyes, tearing through the void. "Old scoundrel! You must be the one who started these suspicions! I will fight you to the death!"

This attack came without any warning.

The Longhu Saint's pupils constricted. He never expected Zhang Yunting to strike without another word. A chill ran down his spine as he instantly vanished.

But he still wasn't fast enough. A piece of his sleeve was disintegrated, and the holy light protecting his body dimmed. His face cycled between shades of green and white. "Mad dog! You're a complete mad dog!"

"The name of Sanqing will not be dishonored!"

With his hair and beard flying wildly, Zhang Yunting's divine might grew even more fearsome. He waved his hand, and countless runes flickered into and out of existence, descending like a heavenly waterfall to annihilate a vast expanse of the void as they crashed down upon the Longhu Saint.

The Longhu Saint formed seals with his hands.

Countless divine thunderbolts materialized from the void, transforming into a sky full of Divine Spears that roared forth with world-destroying power.

BOOM!

A tremendous roar echoed through the air.

The Divine Mountain trembled as the shockwave spread for thousands of miles. The very heavens and earth shook. In that moment, countless giant peaks collapsed, crumbled, and turned to dust.

"Enough, enough!"

"Cool down! Both of you, stop fighting!"

"Stop!"

A group of Saints stepped forward to break up the fight, their combined radiant light surging to intercept the two combatants.

Zhang Yunting was still enraged. "Make this old scoundrel apologize to me!"

"Brother Yun, hurry and apologize to Brother Zhang! You were definitely in the wrong on this one!"

"There's no evidence, just baseless suspicion! You should apologize!" the other Saints hastily urged.

The Longhu Saint looked battered and worn. Zhang Yunting's fierce assault had forced him into constant retreat; if they had truly fought to the death, he would have been overwhelmed.

He was secretly furious but knew that continuing the scene would not benefit him. Forcefully suppressing his anger, he clasped his hands in a salute. "What happened today was my own rashness!"

With that, he turned and stormed away with a flick of his sleeve.

"What kind of attitude is that?" Seeing this, Zhang Yunting's eyebrow twitched. A giant hammer materialized in his hand as he prepared to give chase.

He was stopped by Tao Fan and several others.

"Let it go, just let it go!"

"We've all been fellow Daoists for thousands of years. Is it really necessary?"

"Brother Zhang, please be the bigger man!"

"Hmph!" Zhang Yunting still seemed unappeased. "That old scoundrel was asking for a beating! Sanqing may have declined, but we won't be bullied by just anyone!"

The crowd murmured their agreement, secretly wiping sweat from their brows.

This madman… After all these years, his temper hasn't changed one bit, has it? He's always letting off steam, so how can he still be so fiery?

Tao Fan laughed and clasped his hands. "Speaking of which, congratulations are in order, Brother Zhang. The Sanqing Immortal Sect has produced such a prodigy this generation. Restoring its former glory is only a matter of time!"

At the mention of this, the clouds on Zhang Yunting's face instantly vanished, replaced by a brilliant smile. "Haha, our Sanqing's fortunes have finally turned! This is our destiny! I must return to share the good news. Everyone, if you'll excuse me!"

"Go on," they replied.

The moment he finished speaking, Zhang Yunting took a single step and vanished.

「Holy Academy, Sanqing Residence」

Zhang Yunting returned to his personal quarters and quickly took out his Communication Token, immediately initiating a video call with Luo Hongyi.

"Hongyi!"

"Ancestor, have you come out of your secluded meditation?" Luo Hongyi seemed surprised.

"That's not important. Let's cut to the chase," Zhang Yunting said earnestly. "Tell me everything you know about Wang Xiu!"

Luo Hongyi briefly collected her thoughts and relayed all the details of her interactions with Wang Xiu over the past few days. Of course, she deliberately omitted the part about absorbing yin energy.

Zhang Yunting's eyes lit up as he paced back and forth in his room, his expression one of pure excitement. "Good... very good! From what you've said, I am certain this lad... is an absolute Kylin-tier talent! Hahaha!"

He suddenly remembered something and his expression turned serious. "Right, you must tell him to avoid wandering around outside for the time being. The old scoundrels from the other factions know he exists now, and there's no telling what underhanded tricks they might pull...

"He's all alone, which makes him vulnerable and puts him at a disadvantage!

"If he has to go out, tell him to wait a few more days until more people can move about, then they can travel in a group for safety!

"The Ancient Forest is only the beginning. There are many more opportunities in the Holy Academy. He must not be impulsive and take foolish risks!"

Hearing this, Luo Hongyi's expression turned strange. "Ancestor... they've already gone out."

「Longhu Immortal Sect Residence」

Two figures shrouded in the Saint's Rules stood facing each other.

Han Xiao frowned at Yun Wuxin's gloomy expression. "I heard you fought with Madman Zhang? What happened?"

"A mad dog!" Yun Wuxin spat disdainfully, recounting the incident.

"Sanqing produced a Kylin Heir? He can already move about freely after only his second day in the Holy Academy?" Han Xiao looked astonished. Throughout history, anyone capable of such a feat was a titan who dominated their entire era.

Such talent was a rare sight even in more recent history. Their aptitude was world-shaking.

Yun Wuxin's expression darkened as he looked at Han Xiao. "Didn't you say our Longhu Immortal Sect's current Saint Heir has exceptional aptitude and is destined for supremacy?"

At the mention of Zhang Yuge, a satisfied expression appeared on Han Xiao's face. "That's right. His comprehension of the Thunder Technique has already transcended the mundane and is approaching a profound, esoteric state. Given time, he will undoubtedly become a hegemon of his generation!"

Yun Wuxin asked, "Where is he now?"

Han Xiao replied, "He's still at the residence. He went out once, but all the nearby natural treasures had already been snatched up... It seems now that if the Saintess of Mount Shu wasn't responsible, then it must have been Wang Xiu."
