Renowned Across the World

After experiencing life-and-death crises, the two humans and two demons became increasingly familiar with each other. Since they all agreed on guerrilla tactics, they hit it off immediately and formed a guerrilla squad, preparing to deal with their common enemy, the Tianyuan Sect.

Over the next few months.

These four guys not only digested and absorbed the gains from the treasury, causing their cultivation levels to climb repeatedly, but they also frequently harassed the Tianyuan Sect. After succeeding, they would hide in the Endless Forest.

The hit-and-run tactics were extremely shameless, and the Tianyuan Sect was completely helpless against them.

Whenever they chased them to the edge of the forest, facing the endless mutated beasts of the dense woods, even with a large number of people, it was of no use. They could only watch helplessly as the guerrilla squad faded into the distance.

Countless times, the Tianyuan Sect raged incompetently at the forest's edge, while an increasingly familiar nursery rhyme echoed from within the woods.

"No gold, no silver, the Tianyuan Sect will deliver it to us! No pills, no swords, the Tianyuan Sect will forge them for us!"

"Hahaha..."

Hearing the fading songs and laughter, the entire Tianyuan Sect was furious. They prepared to set the mountain on fire multiple times, but the flames were always extinguished by the mutated beasts. After several fruitless attempts, they eventually gave up.

Left with no choice, the Tianyuan Sect could only strengthen the guards within their sect.

However, defending desperately night after night was ultimately just a temporary measure and could not be sustained long-term. The Tianyuan Sect paid a massive price in manpower and resources for this, and the state of mind of the entire sect underwent a tremendous test. The growth speed of the guerrilla squad far exceeded their expectations.

Time passed.

As the strength of both sides ebbed and flowed, the minor skirmishes accumulated into a qualitative change. With the consecutive deaths of the remaining three great elders, the scales of victory finally began to tilt.

Half a year later.

The once-prosperous Tianyuan Sect was forcibly dragged down by the guerrilla squad. With the assassination of Sect Master Jin Zhenyuan, the Tianyuan Sect perished.

On the verge of his death.

Jin Zhenyuan crawled towards the sect's grand throne with extreme reluctance, muttering with blood spilling from his mouth.

"Impossible..."

"I am a direct descendant of the Jin clan. In the future, I will return to the imperial capital to build a great legacy. These years of blood, sweat, and wealth..."

Before he could finish his words, he was kicked away by Toad, tumbling down the jade steps and collapsing in the main hall, gasping for his last breath!

Youth in Black approached and squatted in front of him, speaking with a grinning face.

"Rest assured and die!"

"You chased us so hard these past few months, making us exhausted and forcing us to break through consecutively. Seeing how much effort you put in, I will definitely accept your years of hard work!"

The heart-piercing words echoed in the grand hall, making Jin Zhenyuan so angry that his eyes nearly burst from their sockets.

"You... you!"

He struggled to get up, but having exhausted his last bit of strength, he fell headfirst to the ground and died on the spot.

Youth in Black then stood up with a sneer, using his palm wind to sweep away the bloodstains on the grand chair.

Yi Feng slowly ascended the jade steps, walked past the blood-stained ground, and sat quietly on the Sect Master's throne. The other figures sat beside him, their cold eyes scanning the entire venue.

Instantly.

A coercion far superior to before enveloped the entire Tianyuan Hall!

Seeing that their momentum was gone and the might of the guerrilla squad was irresistible, the elders and disciples scattered unsteadily in the hall immediately knelt and bowed, fully displaying their submission.

Outside the hall, most of the other branches of the Tianyuan Sect also knelt in submission. Even if there were a few die-hard loyalists, they did not dare to utter a word and could only flee amidst the chaos.

Thus, the Tianyuan Sect was completely annihilated.

In less than half a day, this matter spread everywhere, shocking the world.

The once strongest sect of Yandang Mountain was actually tormented to death by two humans and two demons, ending up with the tree falling and the monkeys scattering. This caused many sects to sigh with emotion.

However, among the common folk.

The disappearance of the Tianyuan Sect, which had been the greatest menace, was undoubtedly a joyous event. It was passed by word of mouth among the commoners and rogue cultivators, and countless people celebrated.

Even the guerrilla song that had spread out became universally popular for a time.

That year, in the winter month.

The former site of the Tianyuan Sect was occupied by the New Sword Sect. Sect Master Yi Feng not only took over most of the Tianyuan Sect's power and wealth, but also widely opened the sect's doors to recruit disciples of ordinary origins, attracting countless people to revere and follow him.

In less than a year, heaven and earth were turned upside down.

Disciples of the New Sword Sect who came after hearing the news successively returned to their master's sect, sighing with endless emotion.

In just a few months, the New Sword Sect expanded at a terrifying speed. Tianyuan City was also renamed New City, becoming increasingly prosperous and thriving. From cultivators down to commoners, the previous gloom in their hearts was swept away.

From then on, the New Sword Sect became the strongest sect in Yandang Mountain.

Achieving so much in such a short time was enough to shock and awe the world. Just as all parties were surprised and shaken, Yi Feng made an even more astonishing decision.

The New Sword Sect would relocate to the imperial capital of the Blazing Fire Nation!

Such a bold decision not only shocked hundreds of large and small sects in Yandang Mountain, but also stirred up various forces within the country's borders. Comments were mixed; some wanted to see the New Sword Sect suffer a setback, some disapproved, and others were attracted by this newly emerging sect, curious about how far this wind could blow.

The eyes of the entire Blazing Fire Nation were focused on the New Sword Sect.

Once again exceeding everyone's expectations, the New Sword Sect, relying on extraordinary cohesion and combat power, firmly established a foothold in the imperial capital. In just a few months, they annexed more than a dozen large and small sects, joining the ranks of first-class forces.

For a time.

Heated discussions continued throughout the Blazing Fire Nation, and the New Sword Sect became the hottest topic.

From the mysterious and decisive Sect Master Yi Feng and the extremely terrifying three great protectors, down to the fiercely loyal elders and the many talented disciples who had recently shown off their prowess, all became existences that caught the attention of various forces in the imperial capital.

Rumors were even more rampant among the common folk, and the streets and alleys were full of people gasping in amazement.

There were even scholars praising them endlessly, and heated discussions spread all over the brothels and pleasure quarters.

"The great roc rises with the wind in a single day, soaring ninety thousand miles straight up into the sky."

Reciting the most popular poem recently, Youth in Black drained the clear wine in his cup in one gulp, a faint smile revealing in his eyes.

Looking at that appearance.

Toad, who was also squatting in the elegant garden, slurped down the wine in his cup and asked curiously.

"Brother Yi's ambitions are probably not as simple as the rumors say, right?"

Yi Feng smiled but did not answer, merely tossing another jar of wine to Toad.

"Catch!"

Youth in Black also smiled faintly, turning his gaze toward the large Toad sitting against the rockery.

"That's only natural."

"What does establishing a sect in the imperial capital of the Blazing Fire Nation count for? We will fight our way back to the Snow Moon Holy Land in the future. If we don't avenge the grudges of the past, what kind of true men are we!"

Fight their way back to the Holy Land?

Hearing these words, Toad and the snail looked at each other in surprise.

Looking back at the two men drinking freely, scenes of their past since they met flashed through their minds. Recalling the continuously growing momentum of the sect recently, a look of understanding finally appeared in their eyes.

"That makes sense!"

"I knew it! Not seeking revenge isn't your style. So what if it's a Holy Land? In my eyes, they fall far short of our New Sword Sect!"

As his voice faded, Youth in Black smilingly tossed over another jar of wine!

"Catch!"

"Well said, I like hearing that! You finally spoke some human words today; you're making more and more progress!"

"Hahaha..."

Just as they were laughing freely, an elder walked over from outside the flowerbed and bowed respectfully.

"Reporting to the Sect Master and the three Protectors."

"The Imperial Capital Treasury Secret Realm is about to open, and the Royal City has specially sent someone to deliver an invitation!"

Hearing this, the group quietly set down their cups and looked back with curiosity.
