Xu Mu sized up the man. His smile looked incredibly sleazy, so Xu Mu said flatly, "Sorry, we just want to take a walk."
"Did I ask you?"
The man glared coldly at Xu Mu, then continued to smile at the women in front of him. "Beauties, judging by your looks, you must be heading to Kunlun Mountain too, right?"
He could tell from Dai Xingluo's attire. Compared to the other three women, Dai Xingluo was wearing an elegant Hanfu.
Her dress was graceful and poised, much like a noble young lady from ancient times.
Such attire wouldn't normally appear here. Since it did, it was obvious that she, like him, was heading to Kunlun Mountain.
"Where we are going is none of your business," Xu Ningbing frowned and asked coldly.
"Oh my, this beauty has quite a fiery temper. It seems we are truly destined for each other, because my name also has the character for fiery in it."
The long-haired man revealed a confident smile. "Let me introduce myself. I am Wang Zichong, from the Spirit Hall."
"Spirit Hall? The Spirit Hall, one of the Five Great Sects?"
Tong Guoguo gently adjusted the sunglasses she was wearing.
"That's right. Not only that, but among the younger generation of disciples in our Spirit Hall, I rank third."
Wang Zichong stood with his hands behind his back, his expression full of arrogance.
He wasn't surprised that the people in front of him knew of his sect. On the contrary, if they didn't know, it would be suspicious.
After all, their Spirit Hall was one of the Five Great Sects of the Dragon Kingdom, and its strength was leagues above other ordinary sects.
"And then? You rank third, what does that have to do with us?"
Dai Xingluo was also getting impatient. "Get lost, don't interrupt our walk."
Wang Zichong's eyes gradually narrowed into slits. Usually, when he stated his sect, almost everyone would treat him with respect.
When he stated his ranking, countless women would be instantly enamored.
If their elders were present, they would do everything possible to offer their female descendants to him.
But the women in front of him weren't moved in the slightest.
"You have a lot of nerve. I offered to help you out of the goodness of my heart, and you dare to insult me. This isn't over."
Wang Zichong stared intently at Dai Xingluo. "You four women must get in my car and apologize to me. Otherwise, you will face the consequences."
"Buddy, I have a solution," Xu Mu said with a smile. "There are five of us in total. Why don't you get out of the car, and I'll drive your car to take them? That way, all four of them will have gotten in the car, right?"
"You are courting death!"
Wang Zichong raised his hand, and his palm gradually flickered with light.
Just then, another car drove over from a distance. The driver honked twice, and finally, the car stopped behind them.
Everyone turned their heads. Behind them was a black Hongqi Guoyao.
Hum!
Suddenly, a suffocating power emanated from that car. Although it only lasted for a split second, it still caused everyone present to drastically change their expressions.
Seeing this, Wang Zichong immediately walked towards the car.
The rear window rolled down a crack, and an aged voice came from inside. "Zichong, outside the ruins, in broad daylight, what are you planning to do?"
Seeing the person inside, Wang Zichong immediately bowed his head respectfully. "Senior Yao, that woman insulted me just now, and it made me lose my temper a bit. I apologize."
"Hurry up and drive over."
After the old man finished speaking, he rolled the window back up.
"Yes."
Wang Zichong nodded slightly.
He immediately jogged towards his own car. As he passed by Xu Mu and the others, he said in a low voice, "The fact that you insulted me won't end here."
After saying that, he quickly got into his car, slammed the gas pedal to the floor, and drove away.
The Hongqi car behind them also drove forward a dozen meters and finally stopped beside Xu Mu.
The rear window opened again. In the back seat sat an old man with a face like ancient wood, covered in deep wrinkles.
His arms, all the way down to his fingers, were wrapped in black bandages.
When Tong Guoguo saw this person, she immediately turned her head away.
Xu Mu used his Eye of God to check the other party's information. That fleeting power from just now definitely belonged to a top-tier master.
Name: Yao Dingli
Identity: Supreme Elder of the Artifact Sect, Cleaner
Favorability: 0
Destiny Level: 6 (Max Level 10)
Another Supreme Elder. If nothing unexpected happened, this person was also a high-level Cleaner.
"Xu Mu, I know you."
Yao Dingli smiled. "I hope you can achieve a good result in this Martial Summit."
After saying that, he rolled the window back up, and the vehicle started moving, disappearing from their sight.
"Guoguo, do you know him?"
Xu Ningbing asked from the side.
She had noticed just now that after Tong Guoguo saw the old man through the window, she immediately looked away.
"Of course I know him. The First Supreme Elder of the Artifact Sect, the Sword Emperor, Yao Dingli."
Tong Guoguo said in a deep voice, "He is a high-level Cleaner. His strength is on par with Wei Jingzhi. You could say that the two strongest Cleaners are Wei Jingzhi and Yao Dingli."
"Are they all from the Five Great Sects?"
Xu Ningbing asked curiously.
"That's right. The current Five Great Sects are Kunlun Mountain, Shennong Cauldron, Artifact Sect, Strength Court, and Spirit Hall."
Tong Guoguo explained, "The Spirit Hall was added later. Originally, that position belonged to the Xuantian Sect, but the sect declined."
Xu Mu looked at Tong Guoguo and asked, "By what criteria are these so-called Five Great Sects judged?"
"They are judged by the number of Fifth-Tier Realm Breakers. The top Five Great Sects represent the sects in the Dragon Kingdom with the most experts above the fifth tier."
Tong Guoguo paused. "However, it doesn't directly determine their overall combat strength. But in most cases, they are indeed the strongest."
Hearing this, Xu Mu asked in confusion, "What do you mean by 'in most cases'?"
"It's like two countries. One is relatively poor, and the other is a developed nation. The overall living standards and technology of the latter exceed the former. In theory, the latter is definitely much stronger than the former."
Tong Guoguo looked at Xu Mu. "But both of these countries possess enough nuclear weapons to destroy each other."
"I see."
Xu Mu suddenly understood.
This feeling was just like the current Xuantian Sect. They were not one of the Five Great Sects.
The fifth-tier experts in the Five Great Sects were far more numerous than in the Xuantian Sect.
However, Wei Jingzhi alone was enough to slaughter the people of a top-tier sect until only a few were left.
...
The group finally arrived at their destination.
At the foot of the mountain was a continuous stretch of commercial streets, featuring accommodations and snacks.
The open-air parking lot was almost entirely full of cars.
Tong Guoguo introduced from the side, "The boss behind this clustered town is Kunlun Mountain."
Xu Mu nodded to himself. He immediately expanded his perception, and everyone within a thousand-meter radius fell into his sight.
After a rough glance, Xu Mu couldn't help but smile. "As expected of a grand ceremony, there are so many acquaintances here."
"Xu Mu, is that you? You came too."
A beautiful woman wearing a JK uniform with her hair tied in a single ponytail appeared from a distance.
e bizarre and supernatural had descended. The previous emperor was a thoroughgoing tyrant; no longer satisfied with human women, he had set his sights on a stunningly beautiful supernatural entity. He met his end in his bedchamber, drained of all his vital essence. As the legitimate eldest son and crown prince, Wang Hao was thus hastily enthroned, becoming the young emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty. No sooner had he awakened the "Imperial Sign-In Intelligence System" than he was assassinated by a Son of Destiny—a classic villain's opening. The Great Zhou, ravaged by the former emperor's excesses, was in national decline. The great families within its borders harbored their own treacherous schemes, martial sects began to defy the imperial court's decrees, and border armies, their pay and provisions in arrears, grumbled incessantly against the central government. Fortunately, the central capital was still held secure by the half-million Imperial Guards and fifty thousand Imperial Forest Army who obeyed the court's orders, along with the royal family's hidden reserves of power, barely managing to suppress the realm. As the Great Zhou's finances worsened and supernatural activities grew ever more frequent, the court sat atop a volcano. Ambitious plotters everywhere dreamed of overthrowing the dynasty, and even some reclusive ancient powers emerged, attempting to sway the tides of the world. At the first grand court assembly, the civil and military officials nearly came to blows, fighting tooth and nail over the allocation of fifty million taels of silver from the summer tax revenues. The spectacle opened Wang Hao's eyes—the Great Zhou's bureaucracy was not only corrupt but also martially proficient, a cabinet of all-rounders. Some officials even had the audacity to suggest the emperor release funds from the imperial privy purse to address the emergency. Wang Hao suddenly felt weary. Let it all burn.

lities. One day, Qi Yuan was buying groceries when he unfortunately came face-to-face with a monster. Just when he thought he was going to die on the spot, he suddenly heard the monster's thoughts...
