Purple River Sword Sect.
Pavilions dotted the mountains, adorned within them, exuding a breathtaking sharpness. These were not structures ordinary craftsmen could build; they required the assistance of Martial Artists who had successfully Cultivated.
Sect Disciples moved through them, each face filled with pride.
The Purple River Sword Sect was a well-known first-rate Sect in Qingzhou, especially since its Sect Master, Purple River Sword Lord, was a Yuandan Realm expert. Earlier this year, his 120th birthday celebration was attended by a vast crowd, truly bringing the Purple River Sword Sect into the limelight.
Its influence rose another level.
But today, the Purple River Sword Sect welcomed an uninvited guest.
Above the sky.
A figure in a Daoist robe descended like a falling meteor, stopping above the Purple River Sword Sect. At first, no one noticed, but as a faint voice echoed through the sky, all the Disciples of the Purple River Sword Sect immediately showed expressions of horror.
“Purple River, get out here for this Old Daoist.”
Dragon Mountain Daoist stood with his hands behind his back, looking down at the entire Purple River Sword Sect, and an astonishing sense of oppression was continuously gathering.
All the Disciples of the Purple River Sword Sect looked up in shock:
“Flying through the air, a Heavenly Human Realm expert!”
At this moment.
A purple-robed figure also rushed out from the depths of the Purple River Sword Sect, then soared upwards.
However, that purple-robed figure clearly didn't fly as easily and gracefully. Even as he tried to align himself with Dragon Mountain Daoist, he couldn't, only able to stand below Dragon Mountain Daoist, unable to break free from the oppressive feeling.
While Yuandan Realm experts could briefly float by relying on Protective Aura, there was still a qualitative difference compared to the Heavenly Human Realm.
Purple River Sword Lord's body constantly surged with Sword Qi, both shocked and enraged.
Dragon Mountain Daoist’s actions clearly showed he didn't put him in his eyes.
But he could only forcibly suppress the anger deep within his heart and force a smile, saying:
“So it’s Brother Dragon Mountain. Long time no see. I didn’t expect Brother Dragon Mountain to have already stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm first. This truly makes us envious!”
This was the truth. Which Yuandan Realm expert didn't want to Breakthrough and advance to Heavenly Human? Originally, there were rumors in Qingzhou that Dragon Mountain Daoist was in a death seclusion to Breakthrough to the Heavenly Human Realm this time. He hadn't taken it seriously, as only Yuandan Realm experts knew how difficult it was to Breakthrough to Heavenly Human.
But now.
Seeing Dragon Mountain Daoist arrive through the air, Purple River Sword Lord immediately had a bad feeling.
Dragon Mountain Daoist looked down at Purple River Sword Lord, his eyes indifferent, completely ignoring the flattery. He simply said:
“Tell me, why did you plot against my True Martial Sect?”
Purple River Sword Lord’s face changed dramatically:
“Brother Dragon Mountain, what do you mean by this?”
The ominous premonition in his heart grew stronger, and his eyes flickered slightly.
Dragon Mountain Daoist, however, had no intention of wasting words with him.
His Daoist robe billowed, and Heaven and Earth Power gathered and pressed towards Purple River Sword Lord. Purple River Sword Lord roared:
“Dragon Mountain, do you really think that by advancing to Heavenly Human, no one in this world can restrain you? Today, you are inexplicably bullying my Purple River Sword Sect. Such Demonic Path behavior will surely not be tolerated by Qingzhou!”
He sounded somewhat outwardly fierce but inwardly timid, but Dragon Mountain Daoist merely let out a cold laugh.
“Stubborn.”
He waved his hand, and a massive handprint, carrying astonishing might, struck out.
“Do you really think I, Purple River Sword Lord, am made of clay? Even if you have stepped into Heavenly Human, you shouldn’t be so presumptuous!”
Purple River Sword Lord roared to the sky, Sword Qi condensed around him, carrying a surging aura of sharpness, and slashed towards Dragon Mountain Daoist.
In an instant.
The area where the two were suspended in the air had various powerful fluctuations spreading outwards.
The two figures also continuously ascended.
Under everyone’s tense gaze, a great battle was about to erupt.
No, perhaps it wasn't a great battle, but rather a one-sided beating.
Purple River Sword Lord's words had barely finished.
His entire body had already fallen from the high sky.
In just a few breaths.
The victor was decided.
A massive handprint had forcibly knocked Purple River Sword Lord, this high and mighty Yuandan Realm expert, down to the mortal world. At this moment, he lay on the ground, bones broken, constantly coughing blood, and even his treasured sword was shattered.
The surrounding Disciples all looked at this scene with horror and confusion, not daring to approach. The once strongest expert of the Purple River Sword Sect was now in such a sorry state, giving them a sense of unreality.
Their gaze towards Dragon Mountain Daoist was filled with even more awe and fear.
At this moment, they truly understood the gap between the Heavenly Human Realm and the Yuandan Realm.
Purple River Sword Lord painfully propped himself up with his broken sword, his eyes filled with bitterness. He had originally thought that if he went all out, he might not be without a chance to resist, but he never expected to be defeated so miserably.

He waved his hand, stopping the Disciples who were trying to rush over. He looked at the opposite side.
Dragon Mountain Daoist stood with his hands behind his back, stepping through the air, slowly descending.
Dragon Mountain Daoist looked at Purple River Sword Lord’s miserable state without any pity. He calmly stared at Purple River Sword Lord and said:
“Tell me who participated, and you die alone.”
“If you don’t, the entire Sect will be annihilated.”
His words were faint, yet everyone was incredibly horrified. Dragon Mountain Daoist had already proven with his strength that he was qualified to say such words.
Purple River Sword Lord continuously coughed blood, and endless regret surged in his heart. If he had known this day would come, he would not have gotten involved just to get on a big ship. He sighed and said with a bitter smile:
“The world says Brother Dragon Mountain is incredibly talented and brilliant. In the past, I always thought it was an exaggeration and that I could compare, but today I realize how ridiculous I was.”
“I only hope Brother Dragon Mountain keeps his promise.”
Purple River Sword Lord surveyed the Sword Sect and its many Disciples, and said in a deep voice:
“What happened today is my own fault. After I die, the Purple River Sword Sect will disband. You all find your own paths, Cultivate well, and do not harbor any wild ambitions!”
The Disciples of the Purple River Sword Sect were all mournful.
With that said.
Purple River Sword Lord brushed his broken sword and committed suicide with it.
He had just passed his 120th birthday banquet, and his life was also fixed at 120 years old.
Dragon Mountain Daoist merely watched this scene calmly, without any reluctance. He could show pity to the weak, but he would never have any sympathy for those who plotted against the True Martial Sect. If it weren't for his young Disciple, Ning Qi, he would have likely heard the worst news he never wanted to hear upon emerging from seclusion.
Looking at the Purple River Sword Sect shrouded in an atmosphere of sadness, Dragon Mountain Daoist simply left a phrase, ‘You all take care of yourselves,’ and departed through the air.
These people were not important; without Purple River Sword Lord, they couldn't even protect their foundation.
Just before Purple River Sword Lord committed suicide, he had already told him everything he wanted to know.
“Wang Qingfeng of the main branch of the Wang Family of Qingzhou? One by one.”
Dragon Mountain Daoist’s eyes narrowed slightly. The Wang Family of Qingzhou was a top aristocratic family, even having a Heavenly Human Realm Old Ancestor overseeing them. However, he was fearless. This Old Ancestor did not have much life left and was still in the first stage of Heavenly Human. If they truly tore off all pretense, at worst, they would have a fight!
However.
Although this matter originated from the Wang Family, that Old Ancestor was probably unaware.
Dragon Mountain Daoist planned to settle accounts one by one.
Dragon Mountain Daoist left.
The next day.
News spread that Purple River Sword Lord had been suppressed and forced to commit suicide by Dragon Mountain Daoist, causing an uproar in Qingzhou.
Everyone knew that Dragon Mountain Daoist had emerged from seclusion and had stepped into the Heavenly Human Realm. From then on, he was a truly peerless expert in the Great Yan. At this moment, ripples began to spread, and everyone knew that Dragon Mountain Daoist was going to settle all past accounts.
