Chapter 220: Chapter 147: Peerless Saintess, Crowned with the Sect Name

Time trickled by. A deathly silence hung over the entire mountain range.

Even after dozens of breaths had passed, the crowd still hadn’t recovered from everything that had just occurred. Finally, Jiang Hao let out a helpless sigh and slowly turned to look at Elder He.

"Senior, are you alright?"

Hearing the youth softly call him ’Senior’, Elder He finally snapped out of his shock. He stared blankly at Jiang Hao and subconsciously replied, "Th-thank you for your concern, Young Master. I... I am fine."

Jiang Hao nodded at his words, then looked toward Mu Wan Ning, who was several miles away.

"Miss Mu, it seems we will have to recalculate the employment fee."

BOOM!!!

As soon as these words were spoken, they instantly pulled all the Cultivators of the Cyan Mist Sect back to reality. Recalling the scene they had just witnessed, their breathing grew increasingly ragged.

After speaking, Jiang Hao didn’t even give Mu Wan Ning a chance to respond. He immediately took a step forward and slowly descended.

"Senior Sister Wan Ning, he... he, he, he...?"

"Wan Ning, where did you find such a terrifying Great Power? It’s simply unbelievable."

"To think all of this is actually real. That youth..."

He had actually suppressed and killed three Great Powers of Transcendence in the blink of an eye. One had to know, those were older generation Great Powers of Transcendence who had been immersed in the Great Power Realm for over a decade, or even decades! A youth who had stepped into the Mortal Transformation Realm less than five months ago had actually slaughtered Great Powers as easily as butchering dogs.

"Is this person really a Great Power at the Early-stage of Transcendent Realm? Why doesn’t it feel like it?" a Cultivator from the Cyan Mist Sect gasped heavily, asking this soul-searching question.

Little did they know, the most shocked people at this moment were undoubtedly Song Changlin and Elder He, who were still hovering in the void. The two exchanged a glance. It was true that he was an Early-stage of Transcendent Realm Great Power, but how could he be this strong?

Fifteen minutes later.

Carrying endless shock and horror, all the Cultivators of the Cyan Mist Sect sat cross-legged, meditating to recover the Spiritual Power they had consumed during this time as much as possible. However, while they appeared to be meditating on the surface, they couldn’t calm down at all. Everyone continuously stole glances at that figure in white.

At this moment, Jiang Hao stood upon a Spirit Peak Summit, maintaining quite a distance from Mu Wan Ning and the others. The youth stood upon the Spirit Peak Summit, looking back at the path he had come from. Back there were the people he cared about the most, as well as countless powerful enemies who had likely already scattered to track him down.

He could even faintly smell the lingering, ghost-like scent of the Celestial Sword Sect.

It was only a matter of time before they found him. After entering Thousand Sects Island, he had only one goal: to become stronger at all costs—to grow frantically stronger.

Compared to the Celestial Sword Sect, what truly made Jiang Hao feel suffocated were the so-called Ten Great Daoist Lineages. To this day, he didn’t even know the names of the Ten Great Daoist Lineages. Yet, their very existence meant that he and his father were born into a doomed situation.

To break out of this doomed situation, aside from attaining formidable personal strength, Jiang Hao couldn’t think of any other way.

Looking at the white-clad youth on the Spirit Peak Summit, the people of the Cyan Mist Sect were entirely restless. Even Song Changlin and Elder He looked at that figure with eyes full of apprehension and shock.

"Wan Ning, where did you find Young Master Qin?"

After regulating his breathing for a short while, Song Changlin finally couldn’t suppress his inner emotions and asked. What he really wanted to ask was where she had found such a formidable and terrifying existence; it was simply a bit too frightening.

Hearing Song Changlin’s words, Mu Wan Ning immediately recounted the entire story from beginning to end—how Jiang Hao had encountered the Tribulation Cultivator on the road and subsequently reached an agreement with her.

"Junior Sister Wan Ning, are you saying that Young Master Qin’s destination is our Thousand Sects Island?" a young Cultivator of the Cyan Mist Sect exclaimed.

Seeing Mu Wan Ning nod, everyone turned pale with astonishment. With such a terrifying and young Great Power of Transcendence entering Thousand Sects Island, it would likely set off a massive uproar across the entire island.

Mu Wan Ning watched the fluctuating emotions in her grandfather’s eyes. A moment later, she took a deep look at the white-clad youth on the Spirit Peak Summit and subconsciously asked, "Grandfather, you and Elder He are highly experienced and also have Cultivation bases at the Mortal Transformation Realm. What tier of prodigy do you think Young Master Qin belongs to?"

Obviously, "prodigy" here likely didn’t just mean an ordinary genius, but rather referred to what supreme heights he had reached. To step into the Mortal Transformation Realm at this age already placed him among the ranks of peerless prodigies. Yet, that unfathomable strength made even Mu Wan Ning somewhat uncertain, which was why she asked.

Hearing this, Song Changlin and Elder He locked eyes, monstrous waves of shock surging in their gazes.

The former pondered for a moment. Only after a long while did he deliver his judgment: "He is at least an existence on the level of a world-shaking freak. His terrifying prowess places him above those sect Saint Sons and Saintesses—far above them, in fact."

After Song Changlin finished speaking, Elder He added, "Considering Young Master Qin’s talent and potential, combined with the strength he just displayed, his terrifying aspects likely surpass those Saint Sons and Saintesses by far too much.

"He... is very likely even more astounding than we imagine.

"He suppressed and killed three older generation Great Powers of Transcendence with just a wave of his hand. It’s hard to imagine what kind of spectacle it would be if he were to attack with his full strength.

"I’m afraid even those few individuals reigning supreme over the ten directions of Thousand Sects Island might not necessarily be able to suppress him."

Upon hearing these words, everyone felt as if they had been struck by lightning. The arrival of that youth was like an unfathomable behemoth quietly approaching the equally unfathomable Thousand Sect Island Realm. It was bound to stir up heaven-shaking waves.

"Wan Ning, did you just say that Young Master Qin might have only reached an agreement with you because he wanted to go to Thousand Sects Island?" Sensitive to this piece of information, Song Changlin immediately raised his eyes and asked.

Mu Wan Ning nodded. "At that time, Young Master Qin asked that Tribulation Cultivator three questions, all of which were about how to get to Thousand Sects Island. If my guess is correct, it seems Young Master Qin doesn’t know the way to Thousand Sects Island."
