This is what Su Zhan intention!
Cao Mu, who was still somewhat reluctant, suddenly fell to the ground.
Experts from the other three major factions also expressed desperate expressions.
If it was only Qin Jincheng acting alone, it wouldn't be Su Zhan's intention.
They could apologize to Su Zhan by presenting various treasures, and in reality, there was no need to be too afraid.
After all, as the top force among the four countries, they were closely related to the royal families in their respective countries. It would be very difficult for the Yuntian Sword Sect, which had to travel a long distance, to try to overthrow these four major factions.
But if it was Su Zhan personally, it would be very different.
Thinking of Su Zhan's terrifying power, the hearts of some people trembled.
If Su Zhan wanted to annihilate them.
It would be very simple.
Only one person was needed, because...
No one could stop him!
Moreover, in a sense, Su Zhan was even more terrifying than the combined fifteen countries in Tiannan, which had less than ten powerhouses in the God Transformation Realm!
Because the powerhouse in the God Transformation Realm transcended worldly matters and had an agreement not to indiscriminately attack weaker powers. For the various countries in Tiannan, the God Transformation Realm was more like a deterrent force.
But now.
Su Zhan had a power very close to the God Transformation Realm and was not bound by the rules of the God Transformation Realm.
That was truly frightening!
"Sect Master Qin, we have indeed committed a great crime this time. Can you let us meet Su Zhan? We want to apologize to him directly!"
"You want to see Su Zhan..."
Qin Jincheng immediately guessed the intentions of these people. Most of them wanted to beg Su Zhan to change the outcome and become his followers.
However, since this issue started because of Su Zhan, and the actual target of these forces was also Su Zhan, there was indeed no reason to refuse their request to apologize directly.
Thinking so, Qin Jincheng said, "Su Zhan is in seclusion. If you want to apologize to him, wait below Baiyun Peak! When he comes out of seclusion, you will be able to see him!"
"May I ask, Sect Master Qin, how long does it take for Su Zhan to come out of seclusion?"
"I don't know about that. If you don't want to wait, no one will force you. In the battle between two forces, we will not harm messengers. I will let you go. However, after this, the Yuntian Sword Sect will not give you another chance to become followers. Do you understand?"
Qin Jincheng's voice was cold, but it carried a terrible intent.
"We understand!"
The four people nodded quickly.
Led by an elder, they headed towards Baiyun Peak.
Under Baiyun Peak, male and female disciples strolled, chatting and occasionally looking up, hoping to meet Su Zhan descending the mountain.
Since Su Zhan was deified in the Yuntian Sword Sect, Baiyun Peak, which used to be quiet, suddenly became lively.
Many disciples would come here for a walk during their leisure time while practicing.
Some female disciples fantasized about having a special relationship with Senior Brother Su.
And there were male disciples who idolized Su Zhan.
At this moment, when they saw Cao Mu and the others coming, they curiously looked up.
"So this is Baiyun Peak? Truly a beautiful and spiritual place. No wonder it can nurture talents like Su Zhan!"
"I hope to see Su Zhan soon. It's too difficult to accept becoming followers. Other conditions can be negotiated!"
"Alright, enough talk. This place is mine, go somewhere else!"
Three experts in the half-step God Transformation Realm sat cross-legged in the pavilion below Baiyun Peak, closing their eyes and ignoring the discussions and words of the disciples around them.
Cao Mu glanced at Baiyun Peak, took off a light green cloth bag from his waist, opened the mouth of the bag, and a pale yellow bird flew out, moving up and down around him, demonstrating its cleverness.
"Tell the elders that this matter is more complicated than I expected and cannot be resolved in a short time. Qin Jincheng said he won't harm messengers, and although this person used to be an enemy of my Zhengyang Sect, he can always be trusted. I'll be fine, let them wait patiently for my return."
"Chirp!"
The little bird chirped, flapped its wings, and flew away.
Cao Mu found a spot and sat down, waiting calmly.
The inner disciples were amazed that they couldn't see through the cultivation realm of Cao Mu and the others.
"These four individuals have special identities. They are all Core Yuan Realm cultivators waiting here for Su Zhan to come out of seclusion. Don't provoke them. Of course, if they oppress our Yuntian Sword Sect disciples, report it to me, and the Sect Master will handle it!"
An elder said to a group of disciples and then left the area.
Core Yuan Realm experts!
After hearing this, the faces of the disciples changed slightly.
But soon, they returned to normal.
"So what if they're in the Yuan Core Realm? They still have to wait here!"
"Just by looking at their attire, you can tell they're not from our Xia Country. They must have some requests for Senior Brother Su!"
"Who cares about them? Let's just ignore them. As long as Senior Brother Su is here, what can they do, even if they're in the Core Yuan Realm?"
"That's right. Senior Brother Su defeated the experts from the four major factions a few days ago. These people are nothing!"
...
Upon hearing their conversation, the faces of Cao Mu and the others immediately turned unpleasant.
If it were another time, they would have already attacked and killed these inner disciples who were only at the Yuan Condensation Realm.
But now...
They had to endure.
Because...
At Baiyun Peak, there was someone named Su Zhan!
Not long after, Elder Miao arrived along with Ninth Prince Xia Qihai and Crown Prince Xia Qitian.
They arrived at the foot of Baiyun Peak, and Elder Miao stopped in his tracks. "Wait here! Su Zhan is in seclusion, focusing on practicing swordmanship. Do not disturb him."
Ninth Prince Xia Qihai glanced at Xia Qitian and hesitated. "Elder Miao, I have no objections, but after all, my elder brother is the Crown Prince. Is it appropriate to let him wait at the foot of the mountain?"
"The Crown Prince?"
Elder Miao laughed and casually pointed to one of the four people sitting in meditation with their eyes closed. "Do you know who he is?"
"I don't know."
Xia Qihai shook his head repeatedly.
"That is the current Sect Master of Baoshan Sect, a half-step God Transformation Realm powerhouse!"
"Half-step God Transformation Realm!"
Xia Qihai was stunned, widening his eyes in disbelief.
Before he could take a closer look, Elder Miao pointed to another person.
"That person is the current Patriarch of the Yue Family, the number one clan in the Dongling Kingdom, also a half-step God Transformation Realm powerhouse!"
"And this person..."
Elder Miao pointed to Cao Mu. "He is the Punishment Hall Elder of the Zhengyang Sect, at the peak of the Core Yuan Realm."
"The reason he is here is that the Sect Master and the Grand Elder of the Zhengyang Sect were killed. He has become the strongest in the sect!"
"This, this..."
Xia Qihai stammered, his forehead covered in cold sweat. He wanted to say something but couldn't find the words.
He couldn't even imagine that these seemingly silent individuals sitting on the ground, allowing the inner disciples to look at them and mock them without restraint, were actually powerhouses of this level!
Xia Qitian was even more stunned than Xia Qihai. After the initial confusion, he felt an incredible fear!
Su Zhan, perhaps, was even more terrifying than the rumors!
Otherwise, how could these half-step God Transformation Realm powerhouses be sitting here, waiting?
A faint smile appeared on Elder Miao's face as he glanced at the bewildered Xia Qitian and Xia Qihai.
"They came to apologize to Su Zhan, and you should do the same.
They can only, and dare only, wait at the foot of the mountain. Crown Prince, Ninth Prince, do you think you qualify to ascend the mountain?"
