I Grind to Martial Saint

Watching from a distance, Yu Cuicui couldn’t help but ask, ”Brother, should we intervene?”

Liang Tian narrowed his eyes. ”I didn’t expect this Observatory Supervisor to have some backbone...”

”Fine. We’ll give them two days.”

”If Han Yuan hasn’t appeared in two days, we will flatten the Observatory.”

His purpose for coming this time was simply to give the Observatory a show of force.

Besides, the Spiritual Land hadn’t appeared yet, so he could afford to wait two days.

Upon hearing this, Yu Cuicui quickly sent a secret sound transmission to Yang Lushan.

After hearing Liang Tian’s intentions, the frenzied Yang Lushan instantly came to his senses.

He stared at Zhai Mu and said coldly, ”Remember this. We’ll be back in two days.”

”If Han Yuan still hasn’t shown up, don’t blame me for what comes next!”

Zhai Mu replied in a low voice, ”That’s fine.”

”But I must ask... who exactly are you?”

Yang Lushan grinned. ”A disciple of the Spirit Sun Sect, Yang Lushan!”

”Don’t you forget it!”

With that, he swaggered off.

The Demon Exterminators and Black Death Guards were left feeling utterly stifled.

But without an order from Zhai Mu, all they could do was watch Yang Lushan leave.

”The Spirit Sun Sect...”

Old Yan kept muttering the name to himself.

”Old Yan... you know something, don’t you?”

Zhai Mu asked.

As the Supervisor of the Feiying Tribe, he was considered to be very well-informed.

But he had truly never heard of this Spirit Sun Sect.

”Let’s talk later,” Old Yan said in a low voice.

Zhai Mu gave a slight nod.

He first dismissed the crowd and sent someone to tend to Wei Shiming’s injuries. Then, he went to the quarters of the Celestial Phenomena Tribe.

”Old Yan, I could tell something was off from your expression earlier.”

”It’s just the two of us now. You can speak freely, right?”

Zhai Mu said grimly.

”I’ve heard a few things about the Spirit Sun Sect... They’re a terrifying sect with a legacy that stretches back countless years. They’re based in the Spirit Sun Mountain Range, occupying a Land of Spiritual Beauty.”

”They consider the mortal world to be impure and rarely venture down from their mountain.”

”Even when they do, they conceal their identities, so very few people know about the Spirit Sun Sect.”

Old Yan’s eyes were grim.

’The Spirit Sun Mountain Range... To think there’s such a behemoth hidden within Cangshui County.’

Zhai Mu’s face was filled with astonishment.

”It’s mainly because the Spirit Sun Sect rarely interferes in worldly affairs. It’s been who knows how many years since they last made an appearance.”

”It’s normal for you not to know. Besides old-timers like me who’ve heard whispers, few others would.”

”Besides, any information about the Spirit Sun Sect would be filed with the Feiying Tribe at the Jianghe Celestial Observation Bureau.”

”Our County-level Celestial Observation Bureau wouldn’t have such records.”

Old Yan explained.

’Any random disciple from this Spirit Sun Sect is a True Qi expert...’

’That means the sect must have Martial Artists at the Gang Essence Realm... They might even have an Innate Grandmaster...’

The more Zhai Mu thought about it, the more terrified he became.

”It’s not a possibility. It’s a certainty.”

”These ancient sects always have Innate Grandmasters as their hidden foundation.”

”So you’d better get Han Yuan out of seclusion, and quickly.”

”Other than him, no one can stop these disciples from the Spirit Sun Sect.”

Old Yan said.

”Yes, I’ll go find Director Han right away.”

Zhai Mu didn’t reveal the truth. Instead, he changed the subject. ”According to what you said, the Spirit Sun Sect rarely has contact with the outside world. Why would they come looking for trouble with our Observatory now?”

”That, I don’t know...”

Old Yan shook his head.

Seeing this, Zhai Mu had no choice but to take his leave.

But the moment he left the hall of the Celestial Phenomena Tribe, a Flying Eagle Guard found him. ”Supervisor... Prefect Wen, General Li, and the patriarchs of several families are here.”

Zhai Mu had expected this. He took a deep breath. ”Bring them all to the Flying Eagle Hall.”

It was impossible to hide the fact that Yang Lushan had single-handedly challenged the Observatory.

Once these people heard, they would naturally come at the first opportunity to get a handle on the situation.

Of course, Zhai Mu knew they were most likely still optimistic.

After all, in their eyes, Wei Shiming’s defeat meant nothing.

Because Han Yuan had yet to make a move.

But Zhai Mu knew the truth: ’Han Yuan isn’t even at the Observatory right now.’

’But things have come to this. I can’t possibly reveal that.’

’I can only placate them for now and pray that Han Yuan returns within two days.’

After clearing his thoughts, Zhai Mu headed for the Flying Eagle Hall.

....

News that the Observatory had been challenged on its own doorstep quickly spread throughout Cangshui County Town, causing an uproar.

Inside a tavern, the patrons in the main hall were all discussing the event.

”Where on earth did this Spirit Sun Sect come from? I’ve never heard of them!”

”Me neither... I only ever knew about the Three Great Sects of Cangshui County. But compared to this Spirit Sun Sect, they seem like small fry.”

”A single ordinary disciple was able to leave the Observatory in such a sorry state. They’re truly incredible.”

”I wonder what kind of grudge the Spirit Sun Sect has with the Observatory for things to escalate this far.”

”I can’t wait for the big fight in two days!”

”That’s right! This time Director Han will personally step in. He’ll definitely teach that guy a lesson!”

Liang Tian and his group were sitting at a table in the corner.

When Yang Lushan heard this, he couldn’t take it anymore and was about to teach them a lesson.

But Liang Tian stopped him. ”If you can’t even ignore the words of ants, how will you ever reach the peak of the Martial Dao?”

Only after hearing this did Yang Lushan calm down.

”Brother Yang, there’s really no need to be angry.”

”These people don’t know anything. Once you kill that Han Yuan in two days, they’ll all shut their mouths.”

Yu Cuicui placated from the side.

”I was too hasty,” Yang Lushan nodded.

”However, your performance today was very dissatisfying.”
