Zhi Tong the Monk proposed to help Old Ancestor Qingyang and even brought Le Sanguan along.

He said to Le Sanguan, "Although we have entered the Immortal Path, we're still people of Jianghu with a sense of justice. Because of your disciple, Qingyang has once lost his Daoist site; even I, who am unrelated, feel compelled to help Qingyang regain his temple. If you still hesitate, it would be too unreasonable!"

Le Sanguan hurriedly replied, "How could that be, I still have one Magical Treasure in the furnace that hasn't been refined…"

"No need!" Zhi Tong waved his large hand, "We must act sooner rather than later, let's go now! Lest the Emei Sect plays any more tricks!"

He brought four disciples with him, respectively: Dali Jingang Iron Palm Monk Huiming, Invincible Jingang Sadharma Huineng, Multi-Armed Jingang Little Nezha Huixing, and Multi-Eyed Jingang Little Fire God Huixing.

These four were collectively known as the Four Great Jingangs and were already famous young heroes of Jianghu. Since shaving their heads to become monks and studying the Wutai Immortal Law under Zhi Tong for nearly twenty years, they had traveled through Jianghu connecting with various sects, further magnifying their reputation as widely recognized figures.

Le Sanguan also brought three of his disciples, his eldest disciple Xiahuan Tiger King Sen, second disciple Wu Hua Leopard Xu Long, and his fourth disciple Fake Abbot Yao Yuan.

Old Ancestor Qingyang was alone, his disciples and acolytes having died at Qingyang Palace, where he also lost an arm.

He remembered the events at Qingyang Palace and felt fearful; hesitating to go, but now that others were stepping up for him, he could not refuse.

He continually reassured himself: Master Zhi Tong is a direct descendant disciple of the Wutai Patriarch, his Daoist power is certainly extraordinary, with him leading the mission, they would definitely be able to break the enemy's Invisibility Technique and avenge the previous disgrace!

Ten people, ten streaks of sword light, flew directly towards Qingyang Palace in Chengdu.

Shi Feiyang was waiting inside Qingyang Palace for their return, sensing them from afar, he immediately called for Leng Yun to gather his fellow disciples and prepare for battle.

While Old Ancestor Qingyang was gone, he had made six small banners, placing them discreetly in corners of the courtyard, emitting Shaqing Divine Light that rendered them invisible, forming a miniature Immortal Array filled with the essence of the Liangyi and the Six Harmonies.

He calculated very precisely, Zhi Tong and his group did not land at the main gate to talk normally, but flew directly into the courtyard, landing precisely within his formation.

As the sword light converged, Zhi Tong spoke up, "You curs of the Emei Sect, where have you all hidden? Come out and meet your deaths!"

Both factions had forged a feud so deep that they discarded even the most basic courtesies of Jianghu; upon seeing each other, they immediately started fighting.

A stream of clear light surged, and on the steps in front of the main hall sat a chair, with Shi Feiyang seated on it, flanked by two young men with swords.

Zhi Tong did not recognize Yue Yun, looking him up and down with puzzlement, he asked, "Who are you? What relation do you have with Qi Shuming and the other two old immortals?"

"My surname is Yue, named Yue Yun, Qi Shuming is my Sect Leader brother. And you are?"

Upon hearing that he was Qi Shuming's junior brother, Zhi Tong relaxed, knowing that Qi Shuming had many less capable junior brothers, like many drunken Taoists he had seen; he didn't regard him highly.

With a hint of pride, he said, "Listen well, I am the direct descendant disciple of the Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor of the Wutai Sect, my Dharma name is Zhi Tong, known in Jianghu as Master Zhi Tong!"

"So, it's you!" Due to Shi Feiyang's arrival, many events had changed; Zhi Tong had not become the abbot of Ci Yun Temple, thus the original swordfight at Ci Yun Temple did not occur.

This time it would be a swordfight at Qingyang Palace!

Shi Feiyang found this quite interesting and asked Zhi Tong, "Are you still in touch with your master? When was the last time you saw him?"

Zhi Tong was taken aback, "You know my master?"

Shi Feiyang thought for a moment, "Years ago in the Heavenly Mountain Desert, I once dueled with your master."

Indeed, during the late Song dynasty, Yue Yun had fought with Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor in Heaven Mountain.

At that time, Master You Tan had confiscated Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor's Magical Treasure, followed by Yue Yun and Deng Bagu teaming up against Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor.

In the end, no victory was declared; they had only intended to delay Taiyin Hunyuan Ancestor from achieving his goal before withdrawing.

Initially, Zhi Tong didn't believe him, thinking he was boasting, but then he suddenly remembered his master had once told him.

When the Wutai Sect was first established, their ancestor had fancied an iron fort in Heaven Mountain, aiming to claim it. However, he encountered the three elders of the Changbai Sect and many others who ambushed him, eventually leading to a disastrous defeat.

His master had only dueled in Heaven Mountain once, and that was hundreds of years ago; could this fellow be some old monster?

Zhi Tong looked Shi Feiyang up and down, unable to gauge his depth. After a moment's thought, he concluded, even if he was an old monster, what of it? Compared to that drunken Taoiste, Zhi Tong considered himself equally aged, yet able to chase him with a Flying Sword!

Thinking this, he was filled with heroism: Our Wutai Sect's Immortal Law and swordsmanship greatly surpass the Emei Sect, ten years of our cultivation equals their hundred years, and a hundred years of ours equals their thousand years, I fear no one unless Qi Shuming or the other two old immortals show up!

This man casually slapped the back of his head, releasing three sword lights in blue, red, and black, attacking Shi Feiyang simultaneously.

Shi Feiyang recognized this as the direct lineage of the Wutai Sect, and even with Yue Yun's strength, he couldn't catch them barehanded, thus he released the Ruyi Five Clouds Net to block them.

Old Ancestor Qingyang, having been previously beaten so miserably, finally saw the attackers and also sent out the Qingyang Sword to join the attack.

Le Sanguan saw an opportunity and also released his pair of Flying Swords.

Behind them, seven disciples also released their Flying Swords.

A total of thirteen different colored sword lights attacked Shi Feiyang simultaneously, continuously stabbing forward, the bright lights shining brilliantly like thirteen light dragons.

Shi Feiyang stretched out his hand and pointed, and the Ruyi Five Clouds Net transformed into colored smoke that set up in front of the steps, blocking the sword tips and then extending and wrapping around towards the opposite side.

"Not good!" Zhi Tong, who was experienced and knowledgeable, saw the danger and hurriedly summoned back his three Flying Swords, while the others reacted slower than him, and their Flying Swords, slightly delayed, were all enveloped by the colored clouds.

The ancestors of Qingyang and others were greatly shocked and frantically formed hand seals to recall their Flying Swords, but their swords could not pierce through the Ruyi Five Clouds Net. It was like nine mud loaches trapped in a net, repeatedly stabbing but unable to escape.

Shi Feiyang manipulated the Ruyi Five Clouds Net to wrap around and forcefully seize back nine Flying Swords, and Zhi Tong opened a gourd, throwing out the Five Fire Divine Thunders from inside.

"Boom!" A loud explosion scattered much of the colorful smoke of the Ruyi Five Clouds Net.

Shi Feiyang didn't wait for him to throw a second Thunder Pearl. He quickly gathered the colored clouds in front of him, formed a sword technique with his right hand, and pointed forward, releasing Yue Yun's Flying Sword. Its silver light gleamed, and in an instant, it severed the weakest ancestor of Qingyang at the waist, cutting him in two, then looped back to slash diagonally towards Zhi Tong and his disciples.

Zhi Tong screamed in alarm and hurriedly intercepted it with three sword lights.

Shi Feiyang's Sword Control was extremely fast. Zhi Tong managed to block it just in time by outnumbering it three to one.

The clashing of Flying Swords rang out, sparking different colored Mars.

Le Sanguan was an exceedingly selfish person. Originally in the text, Shang Heyang lent him his most powerful Magical Treasure, the White Bone Heart-locking Hammer, to guard the gate, but he took it and tried to flee, causing Shang Heyang to lose this important treasure. Of course, he didn't succeed, as it was intercepted halfway by Ling Hun, who seized the White Bone Heart-locking Hammer.

Seeing that Shi Feiyang had seized everyone's Flying Swords the moment he acted, and that Master Zhi Tong was being overwhelmed by the enemy's single Flying Sword, then considering the miserable way the Qingyang ancestor had been taken down and now directly killed by a sword, he knew the situation was dire. He reckoned that if he didn't leave now, he'd meet the same fate as the Qingyang ancestor today!

He didn't even inform his disciples, just stomped his foot, soared into the air, wrapped in a white light, and was about to fly away through the sky.

Shi Feiyang, while keeping Zhi Tong's three swords at bay with one sword, suddenly changed direction, shooting diagonally upward, striking like a lightning bolt out of the blue. His Sword Light soared dozens of feet high, also severing Le Sanguan in half!

Upon seeing this, Zhi Tong cursed in his heart, thinking that with Le Sanguan's strength, under normal circumstances in swordfight and magic duel, it shouldn't have ended so poorly. It was truly because he was cowardly and selfish that he deserved to be killed!

He shouted at Le Sanguan's three disciples, "Aren't you going to join me in casting spells to fight the enemy? If you don't fight hard now, we'll all end up dead here!"

Le Sanguan's disciples, thinking like their master of leaving with him, were at a loss when their master suddenly died. After being yelled at by Zhi Tong, they also came to their senses and took out their Magical Treasures one by one.

His top disciple, Wang Sen, was extremely formidable. He opened his mouth and spat out a red pearl that transformed into a massive tiger head in the air, lunging directly at Shi Feiyang's head.

At the same time, the Five-Flower Leopard, Xu Long, released a bunch of Flying Needles, each carrying a string of Mars.

The fake monk, Yao Yuan, opened the Plague Bamboo Gourd, and it gurgled out a yellowish-black Poison Smoke, which combined with Zhi Tong's Five Fire Divine Thunder, all directed at Shi Feiyang.

Shi Feiyang pinched his fingers and cast the Shaqing Demon-suppressing Immortal Law. With a point of his hand, there was a blast of golden light thunder, the Taiyin Divine Thunder that shattered the tiger head in the air first. Then he wrapped the flying needles in Shaqing Divine Light, seized them all into his hand, and flung them back. Wrapped in Shaqing Divine Light, the needles, no longer under Xu Long's control, flew back faster than they had come, hitting Wang Sen, Xu Long, and Yao Yuan squarely!

Wang Sen was struck by seven needles on the face that drilled into his skull while Xu Long and Yao Yuan were hit in the chest, the needles piercing through the heart and lungs. The three brothers fell face upward, screaming as they died, their eyes wide open in death!

However, Zhi Tong's Five Fire Divine Thunder was more formidable, and Shi Feiyang could not deal with it so casually. If he was careless, he would not be injured himself, but the Qingyang Palace might be blown apart.

He pointed his finger, activating a miniature version of the Liangyi Dust Formation he had previously set up. A vast amount of Shaqing Divine Light emerged from the ground, twisting the space. The Thunder Pearls originally flying toward Shi Feiyang suddenly appeared behind Zhi Tong's head, redirecting back onto himself.

Zhi Tong was startled and hastily pinched his fingers to redirect the Thunder Pearl back towards Shi Feiyang. However, just as it flew a few meters, it vanished and reappeared under his feet.

He shouted loudly in fright. Fortunately, he had crafted the Thunder Pearl himself, and the Wutai Sect's spell had unique aspects—the Thunder Pearl would explode or not, entirely dependent on his will. He caught the Thunder Pearl by hand, not triggering it.

During this time, Shi Feiyang seized the moment to reach from afar for the Plague Bamboo Gourd tied around Yao Yuan's waist, collecting the poison smoke previously wrapped in Shaqing Divine Light into it.

At that moment, Zhi Tong commanded his four disciples to each seize one of the Four Directions. The Wutai Sect and the Emei Sect had struggled for years, and Zhi Tong, as the "Longest Descendant," had keen eyesight. Noticing the complexity of the opponent's formation, he attempted to lead his disciples to break it.

The four disciples each struck out with a palm emitting golden light towards the center while Zhi Tong attacked the critical points of the formation.

Shi Feiyang did not wait for them to finish. He used his Flying Sword to kill the "Four Great Kings," silver Sword Light flashing like lightning as four bald heads simultaneously rolled on the ground.

If the crossing of the Star Constellations Sea served as a boundary, then before that, it was the old Wutai Sect; afterward, it was the new Wutai Sect. Hence, Monk Zhi Tong was an "embodiment of the old Wutai Sect."

This guy, disguising as a monk to deceive the world as a "Righteous High Monk," built the Underground Palace behind the scenes. He imprisoned the disciples' kidnapped girls, frequently hosting "Open Gatherings" with his fellow disciples and friends, and after tiring of the women, they would kill them and eliminate all traces of the body.

None of the five master and disciples were good!

Shi Feiyang first slew the four disciples. Zhi Tong hastily tried to release the Five Fire Divine Thunder but Shi Feiyang cut off his right arm with one stroke. The Five Fire Gourds carrying the Thunder Pearls fell to the ground, which Shi Feiyang seized from afar.

He split the formation, and the disarmed Zhi Tong reappeared, "Your trivial Dao Level doesn't deserve my action. I'm searching for your ancestor. If you can bring him to save you, you might be spared your life. If you fail to find him, I will kill you and banish your Primordial Spirit into the body of a pig, sending you down to the Beast Path!"

Zhi Tong's eyes red with hatred, he had dealt with the Emei Sect for many years and had never seen them use such tactics. With a loud roar, using his left hand for Sword Control, he attacked Shi Feiyang but was intercepted as Shi Feiyang covered his three Flying Swords with the Ruyi Five Clouds Net and took them away.
