"No need to scare them right off the bat man. I'll be there in a moment."
...
Hundred Kilometers away from High Heaven Pavilion,
A large group of people were fast approaching. This group had no shortage of Immortal Ascension Boundary Ninth Stage masters, 25 of them in total, accompanied by no less than a few dozen other Immortal Ascension Boundary masters.
In addition, the True Element Boundary and Separation and Reunion Boundary cultivators numbered another two to three hundred at least.
This group of people, questionably under the leadership of a twenty some years old young woman, flew towards High Heaven Pavilion, and was set to approach the sect in a day.
"Is this the where the Demon Lord was born?" The incredibly beautiful young woman asked. She was tall and bright eyed, with pure white teeth and jade-like skin; she wore a luxurious purple dress but more than anything else, her noble temperament shined through.
With a light smile adorning her stunning face, a trace of disdain and doubt flashed across her eyes, lightly asking, "Isn't this just a random Second-class Sect? How could it give rise to such a heaven defying figure like the new Demon Lord?"
Immediately, a young man dressed in white, his hand waving a folding fan, stepped forward, smiled and said, "Young Lady Qiu, although this place is indeed just a Second-class Sect, but inside there can be many Hidden Dragons and Crouching Tigers along with powerful masters, as the last time when this sect was attacked, a master with a cultivation that is unheard of appeared and forced the demon lord out of the sect."
This white robed man was Bai Yun Feng. When he heard that the Qiu Family would be sending a large force to High Heaven Pavilion, he immediately volunteered to follow along, clearly looking for a chance to make a name for himself and get closer the young lady of Qiu Family as no matter how strong that second grade sect was, Qiu Family's overwhelming force can wipe out everything.
Although he was smiling warmly with Young Lady Qiu as he spoke, he still unconsciously remained three steps behind her, showing the utmost respectful demeanor with no trace of his usual big family eldest son's arrogance, even the look in his eyes was extremely frank as they gazed upon this young woman's slender shoulders without the slightest obscene light.
Despite his usual attitude, Bai Yun Feng was still a sensible person, he was the son of a first-class family, normally a shining star amongst his peers, but before the young lady in front of him, his status meant nothing.
In front of him was the Qiu Family's eldest daughter, Young Lady Qiu Yi Meng.
How could his Bai Family possibly be compared with the Qiu Family?
Without even mentioned the Qiu Family's strength and heritage, it was said that Qiu Yi Meng, only twenty-one years old this year, had already reached the True Element Boundary Ninth Stage; only a handful of people in this entire world's younger generation had such phenomenal aptitude.
On top of that, she not only had extraordinary martial talent, she was also a stunning beauty.
With the Qiu Family having such an astounding young lady, amongst the other seven Great Families, with the exception of the Yang Family, which one of their young masters did not want to marry her?
But the Qiu Family's Patriach, Qiu Shou Cheng, had already declared, "If you wish to marry Qiu Yi Meng, you can! But you must enter the Qiu Family! Also, any baby both from your union must be surnamed Qiu! Anyone who thinks this is wrong, walk away. I do not need you to be part of my lineage."
This demand had immediately cut off a lot of people's ambitions; but still, many young sons would linger all day around Qiu Yi Meng, enjoying being around such a beautiful young woman while fantasizing about being with her.
Qiu Yi Meng also maintained a sense of proportion, allowing these young masters to gather around her but never allowing any of them to get too close. In fact, the reason she had decided to lead this expedition to High Heaven Pavilion was because recently there had been too many of these annoying people around her, so she had deliberately taken on this task, with the excuse of it being a good life experience, and forced these young men to scatter.
Listening to what Bai Yun Feng said, Qiu Yi Meng, not even turning to look at him, stroking the hair next to her ear and replied, "We know and that is exactly why the Qiu decided to send so many experts with to me to inquire about the Demon Lord and the mysterious expert."
As these two spoke, another beautiful young woman stepped forward to join them. This woman was quite petite, half a head shorter than Qiu Yi Meng, but her chest was another matter. It was fully rounded, immense by any standard, and unintentionally attracted the gazes of all those around her.
She said "Elder Sister Qiu, I heard there was an inheritance that was discovered a while ago before the news of the Demon Lord spread. It was said that a huge figure of Dragon and Phoenix flying together was seen in the sky and many who came out of that place gained several treasures and other inheritances, making them highly sought after talent. If it is possible, Can I recruit a few for the Purple Fern Valley?"
Qiu Yi Meng could only smile wryly and softly say, "Sister Xiao Man please control yourself, our main purpose here is to inquire about the Demon Lord's and the mysterious expert's information, everything else is secondary. Don't make things more complicated for us!"
However, Luo Xiao Man was clearly not convinced so she tried a bit more, "It won't matter if we do it after the inquiry is done, it won't disturb your plans, I promise."
Qiu Yi Meng sighed and helplessly nodded, "Fine, but we will see after everything's done." She herself wanted to take a few talents back home for her family.
"Hee hee, Elder Sister Qiu is the best." Luo Xiao Man happily smiled as she hugged Qiu Yi Meng from the side.
"By the way. I also heard that the mysterious expert is not some old man but actually a young man, even younger than us. According to the rumors, He is also very handsome" She winked at the Young Lady.
Qiu Yi Meng laughed lightly and said "Junior Sister, Do you really believe such silly rumors? How is that even possible?"
"What's so impossible about being young and handsome?" A deep voice rang from behind her.
She quickly turned her around while getting ready to attack at the source of unknown voice, but to her surprise, there was no one there, only the alert expressions experts of her family who also seemingly heard the same voice made their distance and looking for the source.
"LOOK ABOVE." One of the guys in the group said loudly pointing upwards.
A young man with black hair and clothing was standing in the sky, Upon closer inspection on his face to see it clearly, she had a light blush crept up on her face because of how handsome the guy look but quickly came back to her senses as her mental fortitude was not weak as a martial artist.
"HOW DARE YOU BLOCK THE PATH OF THE QIU FAMILY?!" One of the guards shouted loudly pointing his finger at Liu Zheng.
"Huh? You guys are traveling through land and I am up in the air. How is it blocking your way?" He said with slight confusion on his face.
"NO ONE CAN BLOCK THE NOBLE QIU FAMILY'S WAY, WHETHER IT BE LAND, AIR OR THE WATER. AND HOW DARE YOU GET CLOSE TO OUR YOUNG LADY!"
"Hey-hey, first of all I can hear you so stop shouting, okay? And second of all you guys were talking about me so I just wanted to clear up some confusion."
There were sounds of murmurs all over crowd after hearing Liu Zheng.
'Is he claiming himself to be the mysterious expert? But he is too young for that and what's with his cultivation? I can't sense his qi at all even though he is using it to fly right now, is it because he is much stronger than me?' Qiu Yi MEng thought to herself as she tried to asses Liu Zheng.
"HAH, Are you implying that someone as weak as you defeated the Demon Lord? I guess we overestimated that demon too much. Young Lady, please allow me to beat some sense in this guy so that he can understand his place." The Guard who at a late stage of Immortal Ascension realm volunteered to get a chance to get the favor of the Young Lady. If everything goes well, he can get some cultivation resources and break through to the 9th Stage immortal ascension in this life time.
Qiu Yi Meng nodded, giving him the approval to act as she herself wanted to asses this guy's strength. Normally, she wouldn't care so much about a no name guy but she had a gut feeling that this guy was very strong.
The Guard flew towards Liu Zheng as fast as he could and said "You need to get off your high horse first and get down on your knees to apologize to the young lady."
He extended his hand to grab Liu Zheng's face, intending to dig his pretty face into the ground from the sky but Liu Zheng's expression remained stoic as if not putting the guy in his eyes, mocking him which made the guard a bit frustrated.
As he was about to grab Liu Zheng's face, his hand instead of coming in contact with something tangible passed through it and the next instant his whole body which astonished him but it didn't last for long as he felt a presence behind him.
He moved his hand back instantaneously pointing it towards the presence and firing a strong Qi blast at it before turning his body around. All of this happened in matter of 3 seconds and he waiting for thick Qi from his attack to dissipate to see if he killed the guy.
'I hope young lady Qiu understands my position as nobody likes when illusions are used on them so he couldn't hold back for this attack'
"That wasn't an illusion." The Qi dissipated and Liu Zheng who surprisingly came out unscathed from the attack said as if he had read the guards mind.
The guard wasn't one to wait for his opponents to finish speaking so he attack Liu Zheng again with his enhanced fist with almost all his power as he to started to feel something was wrong.
Liu Zheng simply raised his hand, catching his fist with so much as showing slight inconvenience, shocking the guard again and continued "Your eyes simply couldn't keep up with my moment just as your body isn't able to endure my strength."
The guard sensing something horribly wrong was going to happen tried to retract his fist with all his might again and again but it turned out to be futile and Liu Zheng, much to his horror broke his hand, shattering the bones in hist fist into several pieces.
The Guard held back his scream, his eyes turning red and tried to attack with his other fist, putting as much strength as he could muster, but Liu Zheng caught that one too.
The guard's eyes widened, realizing he made a big mistake by not moving away from this monster or calling for help, got his another hand crushed as well which made him scream on top of lungs in pain.
The 9th Stage Immortal Ascension masters judging it was now the time to act, flew towards Liu Zheng at super sonic speeds.
Liu Zheng, knowing it was time get serious released the guard's hand and holding him by his collar, "Sorry, but in every battle someone has to serve as example, right?"
The guard didn't get time to understand those words as he was tossed towards the experts at a very high speed.
One of them tried to catch the guy but Liu Zheng pointed a cero towards the guard he just threw, blowing him up to smithers with his attack, stopping the experts in their path and protecting their bodies with Qi to protect themselves from blood, as did the others on the ground.
"This guy is really ruthless, Is he also a demon?" said Luo Xiao Man as he also protected himself from the falling remains of the guard.
Qiu Yi Meng simply observed everything, not saying a word as she felt her gut feeling becoming stronger.
