Chapter 1168: Chapter 1168: Another Shock in Spirit Capital

Moon God Palace.

“Reporting to the Palace Master, a female disciple of the Glazed Light Sect requests an audience.” A guard entered the grand hall and reported respectfully.

“A female disciple?” Chi Qingshan frowned slightly.

“Palace Master of the Moon God Palace, the Glazed Light Sect has been massacred by Wind Shadow! I beg the Palace Master to seek justice for us!” Before Chi Qingshan could speak, a woman’s tearful and angry voice came from outside the hall.

“What? The Glazed Light Sect was massacred by Wind Shadow?” Inside the hall, Chi Qingshan and the others were shocked and horrified.

“Quickly, let her in!” An elder immediately said.

In no time, the female disciple of the Glazed Light Sect walked into the grand hall.

“What is your name?” Chi Qingshan asked.

“Ru Xue.” The female disciple answered respectfully.

“What exactly happened? Explain in detail.” Protector Lu Yuntian frowned and asked, his expression heavy.

“Today, Wind Shadow suddenly stormed into the Glazed Light Sect. Except for thirteen female disciples, everyone else was killed by him, including the elders and the Sect Master. Wind Shadow has broken through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, and I don’t know what kind of power he used, but he was able to restrict people’s speed.” Ru Xue answered respectfully, her eyes still filled with terror.

“He broke through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm?” The Great Elder’s expression changed drastically.

“Even the Sect Master of the Glazed Light Sect was killed by Wind Shadow?” Lu Yuntian asked in disbelief.

“It’s absolutely true!” Ru Xue confirmed.

“A force that restricts people’s speed?” Chi Qingshan frowned deeply and said, “That seems similar to a situation noted before, as reported by a guard who escaped from Xuanming Mountain.”

“The Sect Master wanted us to evacuate the Glazed Light Sect, but suddenly we couldn’t move, as if paralyzed. By the time we regained motion, the Sect Master, the elders, and all the senior and junior brothers had been killed by Wind Shadow!” Ru Xue recounted emotionally, tears streaming down her face.

Recalling the horrific scene at the time, Ru Xue became even more frightened.

“Then why did Wind Shadow spare you?” an elder asked in confusion.

Ru Xue replied, “He said he doesn’t kill women.”

“Wind Shadow killed the Sect Master of the Glazed Light Sect; this demonstrates his extraordinary strength and shocking cultivation speed. Just two months ago, he injured the eldest young lady, but at that time, he was only at the mid-stage of the King Realm. In such a short time, he advanced to the late stage of the King Realm and now has reached the Heavenly Monarch Realm.” Lu Yuntian frowned, his heart now giving serious weight to Feng Wuchen.

Feng Wuchen’s terrifying growth rate caused great concern among them.

“We must capture him as soon as possible. If this continues, even our Moon God Palace may not be able to handle him in the future,” the Great Elder said gravely.

“I beg the Palace Master of the Moon God Palace to avenge our Sect Master and others!” Ru Xue knelt and pleaded earnestly.

“Stand up for now. Go back and properly bury your Sect Master and the others. I assure you that this palace will seek justice for the Glazed Light Sect.” Chi Qingshan said resolutely.

“Thank you, Palace Master!” Ru Xue expressed endless gratitude, kowtowing repeatedly before leaving the grand hall.

“We’ve sent people to track down Wind Shadow for so long without discovering the slightest trace of him. I suspect Wind Shadow has been hiding in the Tianying Pavilion all along,” an elder said with a frown.

“Dispatch someone immediately to the Spirit Emperor Temple to seek an audience with Emperor Ling. Without his command, none of us dare to monitor the Tianying Pavilion. We absolutely cannot allow Wind Shadow to act so recklessly any longer,” Chi Qingshan said coldly.

Chi Qingshan had also realized Feng Wuchen’s rapid growth. If they didn’t extinguish this threat now, it would eventually bring catastrophic destruction upon the Moon God Palace.

The news of the Glazed Light Sect massacre by Wind Shadow quickly spread from the words of the female disciples who survived.

To rally the forces of Ling Realm to avenge the Glazed Light Sect, they had no choice but to make this public.

Once the news spread, the major powers of the Spirit Capital were thrown into chaos, erupting with outrage.

Following the massacre at Xuanming Mountain, where thousands perished by Feng Wuchen’s hand, merely a month had passed before Feng Wuchen annihilated the Glazed Light Sect.

One major event followed another, relentlessly testing the Spirit Capital’s ability to bear such shocks.

“The Glazed Light Sect was really wiped out by Wind Shadow? That’s impossible!”

“Wind Shadow has already broken through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm? What kind of cultivation speed is this? Not so long ago, he was only in the mid-stage of the King Realm!”

“How can this be? Could this be a rumor? The strength of the Glazed Light Sect Master was renowned—how could he possibly be killed by Wind Shadow?”

The major forces of the Spirit Capital and countless cultivators were utterly stunned.

To confirm the truth, many set out for the Glazed Light Sect to investigate.

However, every cultivator who arrived at the Glazed Light Sect was greatly alarmed. Hundreds of disciples lay massacred, and the rest had disappeared entirely!

Learning that the remaining disciples had been obliterated into ashes further struck fear into the hearts of countless cultivators.

Wind Shadow’s reputation now sent tremors throughout the Spirit Capital, instilling unparalleled dread in all who heard his name.

Tianying Pavilion.

“So Wind Shadow has already stepped into the Heavenly Monarch Realm? That kid actually wiped out the Glazed Light Sect!”

“Has Wind Shadow’s strength truly reached such a level? I can hardly believe it.”

“Among the elite assassins, Wind Shadow’s power likely ranks in the top five, perhaps even stronger.”

The succession of these two major events deeply shook the assassins within the Tianying Pavilion, leaving them unable to believe that Feng Wuchen had achieved such terrifying power.

While the news of the Glazed Light Sect massacre by Wind Shadow spread like wildfire across the Spirit Capital, Feng Wuchen seemed entirely unbothered. He was currently enjoying a leisurely meal at an inn in Xuan Yang City, watching the streets below.

Even though the conversations around him were filled with discussions about the Glazed Light Sect massacre, Feng Wuchen appeared as though he hadn’t heard a word.

“Whoosh!”

A graceful figure suddenly appeared—it was Bright Moon.

“Bright Moon?” Feng Wuchen’s expression shifted slightly with surprise as he asked, “How did you know I was in Xuan Yang City?”

“Was the massacre of the Glazed Light Sect really your doing?” Bright Moon asked, looking at Feng Wuchen.

“Come, have a seat and eat something.” Feng Wuchen quickly welcomed her with a smile, his heart relieved to see Bright Moon fully recovered.

Even without an answer from Feng Wuchen, Bright Moon already knew the truth.

“I didn’t expect you to break through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm so quickly. I thought you were merely boasting,” Bright Moon said, quietly amazed at Feng Wuchen’s terrifying cultivation speed.

Bright Moon had spent several years to break through to the Heavenly Monarch Realm, yet Feng Wuchen had accomplished it in a single month, a disparity beyond comprehension.

“Just lucky, that’s all,” Feng Wuchen said with a faint smile, his gaze fixed on Bright Moon. “Why are you looking for me?” he asked.

“The Pavilion Master commands you to go to the Spirit Emperor Temple. The Pavilion Master has negotiated with Gu Xingfeng to hand over the Crystal Stone in exchange for Tianming Lord and Chasing Moon,” Bright Moon said.

Feng Wuchen nodded while chewing on his food and said, “I was already planning to go to the Spirit Emperor Temple. Although I don’t want to surrender the Crystal Stone, I have no other choice.”

“To ensure your safety, the Pavilion Master has ordered a Tian Kui-level assassin to accompany you,” Bright Moon said.

“A Tian Kui-level assassin?” Feng Wuchen was instantly delighted, exclaiming, “Then I can rest easy. They say even Emperor Ling wouldn’t dare provoke him.”

A Tian Kui-level assassin was at the Tiandi Realm, possessing unfathomable power.

“There’s something else,” Bright Moon said, her words hesitating.

“What else?” Feng Wuchen asked, looking at Bright Moon.

“Thank you for saving me.” Bright Moon expressed her gratitude sincerely, her beautiful eyes avoiding his gaze.
