Chapter 247: Punishment On Behalf of the Court

The Autumn Valley.

Upon returning to the Autumn Valley with He Mengxi, He Jin personally went to the strongest mid Dharma adepts in the Autumn Valley, while he asked He Mengxi to look for Zhou Donghuang.

Although Zhou Donghuang had not displayed his power since attaining the mid Dharma stage. He Jin was sure that Zhou Donghuang was definitely training in a supreme technique that had allowed him to be as powerful as a mid Dharma adept even when he was just in the early Dharma stage.

Now that he had attained the mid Dharma stage, he was definitely stronger than ever.

At the very least, in the Autumn Valley, or even in the Lightning Sword Sect, it would be difficult to find a mid Dharma adept that was his match.

He Jin did not know that Zhou Donghuang was currently training using the “Way of the Four Supremes,” which could only be considered a Primordial Soul technique that only allowed him to train up till the Primordial Soul stage.

Beyond that, he would need to figure it out a way to train himself further.

Nonetheless, although the “Way of the Four Supremes” was only a Primordial Soul technique, it was definitely more powerful than the other Deity-grade techniques he had.

Be it the “Thousand-Star Sword Technique” or the “Fiery Thunder Training Regimen” or the “Manual of Unruffled Sage,” none of them were as powerful as the “Way of the Four Supremes” before the Divine Transformation stage.

Now, Zhou Donghuang’s Dharma power from the “Way of the Four Supremes” was so perfect that he could not make it any better. There was simply no room for improvement!

As for the Dharma power produced by the other Deity-grade techniques that he knew, they were almost perfect but would require some simple improvements to attain true perfection.

“Little Brother.”

When He Mengxi finally found Zhou Donghuang, he was in his room producing an elixir. He Jin had recently helped him to find some precious herbs and ingredients, and he had not found the time to use them to produce the elixir yet.

After a short while that Zhou Donghuang did not respond, He Mengxi was not anxious but waited patiently outside.

After ten minutes, Zhou Donghuang finished producing his elixir, then pushed open the door and called, “Third Sister, are you looking for me?”

“Little Brother, Father asked me to look for you so that we can make a trip to the outer sect arena together,” explained He Mengxi.

“Chief is looking for me? Outer sect arena? What is going on?” Zhou Donghuang was perplexed.

He Mengxi then explained everything that had happened, such that Zhou Donghuang immediately understood the situation.

“Little Brother, if you manage to save our sect from embarrassment this time, the sect chief will definitely make an exception to allow you to enter the Lightning Peak as a core disciple,” continued He Mengxi.

Core disciples were treated extremely well in the Lightning Sword Sect, and Zhou Donghuang had heard about the benefits of being a core disciple a long time ago.

But now, with the unwavering support of the chief of the Autumn Valley, Zhou Donghuang did not need the benefits that came from being a core disciple.

As for whether he could become a core disciple of the Lightning Sword Sect, he had no interest at all.

However, since He Jin had asked him to go along, and he was free at the moment, he did not mind taking part in the fun.

Recently, he had either been practicing or producing elixirs, and had not left the Autumn Valley in a long while, so it would be good for him to relax as well.

“Third Sister, you told Chief that I had attained the mid Dharma stage?”

Zhou Donghuang could easily guess this because He Mengxi was the only one who knew that he had attained the mid Dharma stage.

Of course, Zhou Donghuang had four beast Dharmas within him, and only the white tiger had managed to attain the mid Dharma stage, while the other three Dharmas were still in the early Dharma stage.

Based on the strict guidelines of the “Way of the Four Supremes,” Zhou Donghuang was only really considered a mid Dharma adept if all four of his Dharma energies attained the mid Dharma stage.

He had chosen to let his white tiger attain it first because the white tiger had the function of blinding eyes and deafening ears. Otherwise, once the green dragon or peacock Dharmas appeared, anybody would be able to guess that the technique that he was training in was no simple one. While the turtle Dharma had the same function, it was more for defense and was not as helpful for his current purposes.

“Mm,” nodded He Mengxi. “Little Brother, it isn’t convenient for me to participate... otherwise, we would not need you to help, for I could easily defeat that Han Yuzheng of the Thunder Knife Sect!”

Although He Mengxi had yet to spar with anyone since attaining the mid Dharma stage, she could sense that she was powerful.

Once her almost-perfect Dharma sword appeared, even the strongest mid Dharma adepts in the Autumn Valley would not be able to take more than three blows from her.

Since converting to the “Thousand-Star Sword Technique,” He Mengxi’s Dharma sword looked the same, but it was close to perfect. With some time, she could definitely perfect her Dharma power.

“Third Sister, it is indeed not appropriate for you to participate.” Zhou Donghuang nodded. Both He Mengxi or Da Zhuang were well known among the people of the Lightning Sword Sect, so if they suddenly showcased their perfect Dharma power, it would surely cause others to question if they had obtained a new formidable technique.

At that time, not even He Jin would be able to protect them.

Be it the “Thousand-Star Sword Technique” or the “Fiery Thunder Training Regimen,” as long as they did not cooperate and hand the technique out, it would surely cause the whole Lightning Sword Sect to turn against them.

“Both you and Da Zhuang, before entering the ultimate Dharma stage, should not showcase your power in front of others... even if you do, you must try to conserve your power,” said Zhou Donghuang.

“My father said the same thing,” He Mengxi agreed. Although she was indignant, she knew that both her father and her little brother were thinking for her own good.

Soon, Zhou Donghuang and He Mengxi met with He Jin.

Now, behind He Jin, there were three young men who were the top martial artists in the mid Dharma stage in the Autumn Valley.

A young man dressed in blue with a moderate build and ordinary features frowned at Zhou Donghuang, then his eyes landed on He Mengxi and immediately turned gentle.

“Sister Mengxi, you must be almost attaining the mid Dharma stage?”

“Mm.” He Mengxi nodded slightly at the young man in blue and did not tell him that she had already attained the mid Dharma stage.

“Sister Mengxi, I heard from the Valley Chief that the few mid Dharma adepts from the Thunder Knife Sect had unfriendly intentions... Now, I, Wang Cheng, will let them know what it feels like to lose!” continued the young man in blue.

“Wang Cheng, there is no use talking big now... wait till you have defeated them.” As Wang Cheng kept talking, He Mengxi interrupted him impatiently.

“Sister Mengxi... If I defeat them, will you give me a chance to pursue you?” Wang Cheng did not pay any attention to her impatience, as if he had already gotten used to it, and he continued smiling at He Mengxi.

“Sure,” He Mengxi responded curtly. “But if you do not defeat them... from today on, you had better not cross my path!”

Wang Cheng was first taken aback, then laughed as he agreed, “Sure!”

As compared to Wang Cheng’s reaction to He Mengxi, the other two young men appeared more mature, as they did not speak a word.

“Hebin, Liuji, later at the outer sect arena, please give me a chance and let me spar first... I’ll deal with those punks from the Thunder Knife Sect!” Wang Cheng told the other two young men.

“Wang Cheng, since the chief of the Thunder Knife Sect dared to bring them here to challenge any mid Dharma adepts of our Lightning Sword Sect, that means that they are not weak at all, so do not look down on them,” reminded one of the young men as he glanced at Wang Cheng.

“Haha... Liuji, you are too careful. They may not be weak, but are we weak? You think too highly of them...” Wang Cheng remarked loosely.

“Shut up!” Wang Cheng’s incessant chatter finally made Zhou Donghuang lose his cool, as he let out a low growl and interrupted Wang Cheng.

Instantly, Wang Cheng’s expression darkened as he glared at Zhou Donghuang. He had wanted to retort angrily, but heard He Jin suddenly call out, “Wang Cheng, keep quiet.”

Since the chief of the Autumn Valley had spoken, Wang Cheng did not dare to speak any further, but his gaze was vengeful and angry as he glared at Zhou Donghuang.

He had always been jealous that He Mengxi was so close to Zhou Donghuang, and now that Zhou Donghuang had offended him, he was so furious that he could not contain his anger!

“Zhou Donghuang, you’d better not let me find the chance... otherwise, I will definitely kill you!” Wang Cheng cursed silently as he stared at Zhou Donghuang murderously.

In this moment, Zhou Donghuang felt like there were a pair of eyes fixed on him. He turned his head slightly and met Wang Cheng’s eyes, then laughed coldly as he said, “Why? You... want to kill me?”

“Hmph!” Wang Cheng snorted coldly, his icy cold voice made one’s hair rise. Clearly, he was agreeing with Zhou Donghuang’s words.

“What?” This time, He Jin turned around and happened to see the murderous glint in Wang Cheng’s eyes as he stared at Zhou Donghuang. His face darkened immediately.

Instantly, He Jin glared at him as he raised his hand, and an invisible force was built up in the air which transformed into thousands of visible sparks of light, like the countless stars in the midnight sky.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

...

As the sparks of light surrounded Wang Cheng from all directions, like the countless stars in the galaxy, Wang Cheng’s expression suddenly changed. Before he could react, the sparks of light drowned Wang Cheng.

As the sparks of light disappeared, a storm of blood dissipated in the air, leaving a single space ring that floated to the ground.

Instantly, a man had disappeared into thin air.

Died without a trace!

“Wang Cheng, disciple of the Autumn Valley, had intended to kill someone of his own sect. As the chief of the Autumn Valley, I helped the court to punish him, to get rid of this piece of trash!” declared He Jin after he had killed Wang Cheng.

Present there, besides Zhou Donghuang and He Mengxi, were just Liuji and Hebin, and He Jin’s words were clearly directed towards them.

Liuji and Hebin only recovered from their shock of Wang Cheng’s death after hearing He Jin’s words. They felt their body turn stone cold as a gush of cold wind rose from their feet towards their head, turning the skin of the scalp numb.
