Inside a courtyard.
This was Ning XuanWu's temporary base after arriving at Pingjiang City.
In the hall.
It was extremely quiet.
Ning XuanWu sat at the head with a gloomy expression, while Yao Ling'er and other high-ranking members also sat silently, all waiting for news from the dispatched assassins.
"Master, do you think he can successfully come back?" Finally, Yao Ling'er couldn't sit still anymore. She knitted her pretty eyebrows and stood up to ask.
Ning XuanWu was still silent.
But in his heart, he was equally uncertain.
During the time the assassin went to gather information, he had calmed down a lot and thought a lot.
Although he was the master, deep down he knew that the talents of his two disciples, Jing Wu Chen and Jing Wufeng, were stronger than him. They had far surpassed his younger self and had now reached the Martial Spirit realm.
Martial Spirit.
In all of Southern Sha, they were formidable existences.
Furthermore, with the Sky Shaker Stone and Swift Cloak in hand, as long as they didn't encounter those who had stepped into the Martial King realm for many years, they had a chance to escape.
In other words, it would not be easy for him to kill Jing Wu Chen and Jing Wufeng, even if he made a move personally.
However, the two of them had died without a trace at that person's hands.
Also.
The Sky Shaker Stone and Swift Cloak were emperor-grade treasures. Not to mention Martial Kings, even Martial Emperors would treat them as priceless treasures. Why did that person not care about them at all?
It was unlikely he simply wanted to humiliate the XuanWu Sect. After all, these were two emperor-grade treasures.
The most likely possibility was that the person truly did not care about the Sky Shaker Stone and Swift Cloak.
Thinking through these two points, that person's strength was at minimum a Martial King who had broken through many years ago. More likely, he was a Martial Emperor, or possibly even higher, at the Martial Ancestor or Martial Saint realm...
But no matter which was the case, Ning XuanWu did not have much confidence facing him.
Thinking to this point, his expression became even gloomier.
At the same time, he did not believe that assassin could come back safely.
Seeing Ning XuanWu's appearance, the hall once again fell silent. Everyone's faces were also solemn.
Clearly, they could realize the same issue Ning XuanWu had thought through.
That assassin probably wouldn't come back.
However, just when everyone's morale was low, a servant directly reported: "Master, Xu Kun is back."
Hearing this, everyone was stunned and unconsciously stood up and rushed outside.
This news was simply a pleasant surprise for them!
Sure enough, when they reached the door, they saw Xu Kun, who had been sent as an assassin. At this moment, he had an smile on his face and seemed rather spirited.
This trip.
Had truly gone smoothly!
Not only was there no danger, but he could even leap from a commoner to a personal disciple.
"How was it?"
Ning XuanWu and the others anxiously came up and quickly asked.
"Reporting to Master, reporting to all elders, I have returned safely." Xu Kun said to everyone with a smile: "I have already investigated clearly. That person has no real ability and is just an ordinary mortal."
"Oh?"
Hearing this, everyone revealed disbelief. The information reported back had too great a discrepancy from their guesses!
"You're not lying?"
Ning XuanWu's brows furrowed as he emanated a bit of pressure toward Xu Kun.
"This disciple dares to swear on his life that he is absolutely not lying. So Jing Wu Chen and Jing Wufeng's deaths must have been some misunderstanding. I even suspect they haven't died at all." Under Ning XuanWu's pressure, Xu Kun quickly raised his palm and recounted what had happened at the Martial House in full detail.
Hearing this, everyone also nodded in unison.
It seemed that the matter should be as Xu Kun said.
"An ordinary mortal, it's actually an ordinary mortal."
Ning XuanWu clenched his fist tightly as furious energy erupted from his body.
He had not expected that after their back and forth, the opponent turned out to be just a petty mortal. To him, this was simply a humiliation.
"Since this is the case, I will personally take action and directly slap him to death with one palm. No matter if it's an illusion cast by the Qingshan Sect, I will turn him to scattered ashes."
With a cold laugh, Ning XuanWu then rushed out furiously toward the Martial House.
Seeing this, the others also rushed upward one after another.
...

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night. Take ten disciples: every day he gains 10 years of cultivation power. Foundation Establishment, Core Formation, Nascent Soul—he breezes through all bottlenecks without lifting a finger. Take one hundred disciples: every day he gains 100 years of cultivation power. Even a Soul Transformation Venerable before him can’t survive a single blow. Take ten thousand disciples: every day he gains 10,000 years of cultivation power! With a wave of his hand, he topples empires. With a single step, he crushes the sacred grounds of the universe. ... While others fight tooth and nail for secret techniques, Lin Yan casually hands out Nascent Soul-level cultivation manuals as beginner textbooks. While others strain to find talented recruits, Lin Yan opens his doors to anyone—so long as they’re human. In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
【Prologue: The Beginning of It All – Use holy water to heal the saintess tainted by demonic energy, then converse with her.】 Shen Nian stared at his older sister sipping yogurt, lost in thought. So you’re telling me my sister is the saintess, and yogurt is the holy water? 【Main Quest 1: Brave Youth, Become an Adventurer! Reward: Rookie Adventurer Title.】 【Side Quest 1: Find the Adorable Kitty! Reward: 1000 Gold Coins.】 Shen Nian: "Wait, I’m a high school senior here—did some guy who got isekai’d accidentally bind his system to me?" Hold on, completing quests gives gold rewards? Titles even boost stats? Is this for real? (A lighthearted, absurd campus comedy—not a revenge power fantasy.)
ing gift was a patch of barren land, and disciples were all picked up along the way. He spent fifty years diligently building three "ramshackle little sects," thinking he could finally live a carefree life relying on his disciples. But right at the fifty-year mark, he was suddenly swept away by a spatial rift and exiled to the Chaos Desolation, the Disorderly Ruins. There was no spiritual energy there, only slaughter. Relying on the cultivation feedback from his disciples, Gu Changyuan hacked his way through a sea of blood for eleven hundred years. When the system finally fished him back out, he discovered the ramshackle little sects he'd built back then had developed a rather... unusual style. Hold on... I vanished for a thousand years, so how did my ramshackle little sects become holy lands?!
grated, and just when he finally managed to get into an elite academy, he discovered that he actually had a system, and the way to earn rewards was extremely ridiculous. So for the sake of rewards, he had no choice but to start acting ridiculous as well. Su Cheng: "It's nothing but system quests after all." But later, what confused Su Cheng was that while he was already quite ridiculous, he never expected those serious characters to gradually become ridiculous too. And the way they looked at him became increasingly strange... (This synopsis doesn't do it justice, please read the full story)
