Not only the Rock Sect but also the Joy Sect had devised a plan to capture Jayson. They mobilized their disciples and elders, determined to apprehend him. Meanwhile, the Ji family swiftly recalled all their family members scattered across the north continent, forming a united front in their pursuit of Jayson. Their coordinated movements left rogue cultivators feeling suffocated under the weight of their presence, while weaker sects grew increasingly alarmed and fearful.Jayson, who had brought liveliness to the entire North Continent, casually strolled out of the Xia Empire, whistling a tune. However, his leisurely journey was abruptly interrupted when three rogue cultivators ambushed him unexpectedly. Unfazed by the attack, Jayson had actually anticipated such a situation. He had purposefully displayed the huge amount of spirit stones, fully intending to be targeted by robbers.Staring calmly at the three men, their faces concealed by masks and clad in black robes, Jayson posed a que

Confusion gripped the gathered members of the Ji family as they observed the sudden appearance of another Ji family patriarch. Moments earlier, they had witnessed the family patriarch enter a secret passage.The new Ji family patriarch's expression turned grim as he noticed the silent stares directed towards him. He demanded, "What is the meaning of this? Why is everyone looking at me like that?"It was one of the elders of the Ji family who mustered the courage to voice the question lingering in everyone's mind. "Grandfather, forgive our confusion, but we just saw you enter the secret passageway. We didn't see you coming out"Perplexed by their inquiry, the Ji family patriarch responded, "I'm afraid I don't understand what you're talking about. I haven't been near any secret passageway."One of the younger generations of the Ji family stepped forward and divulged everything. The patriarch of the Ji family erupted in anger and scolded, "You all are incredibly foolish! How could you no

The news of Jayson's appearance in Rock City caused a major commotion. When it was announced that the Ji family and the Joy Sect were heading to Rock City to reclaim their treasures, cultivators from all around eagerly flocked to witness the spectacle. Upon hearing that Jayson was in Rock City, which was only a few kilometers away from Rock Sect, the first Elder of the sect grew increasingly anxious and restless. He couldn't sit still and began patrolling the treasury vaults and weapon stores throughout the sect. Saint Kun observed the sect master flying over the mountain where he resided. He pursed his lips tightly, lost in deep contemplation. His disciple, standing beside him, couldn't help but ask, "Do you also think the first Elder has been obsessed lately?" Saint Kun withdrew his gaze and shrugged his shoulders indifferently before continuing his descent down the mountain. "Are you still determined to sneak out of the sect, despite the sect master's prohibition on leaving?" The

"Sect Master!" The elders and disciples of the Joy Sect called out anxiously, their voices filled with concern, as they witnessed the weakened state of their Sect Master. Sensing the urgency, a nearby elder stepped forward and supported the Sect Master, infusing him with his own spirit qi to help him regain his composure. With great effort, the Sect Master managed to take a pill to restore his vitality before settling into a state of deep meditation.Emerging from his meditation, the Sect Master's eyes widened in disbelief as he witnessed the fervent bidding taking place for one of the Joy Sect's precious heritages. Anger threatened to consume him, but he took a long, steadying breath and suppressed his emotions. He knew that attempting to snatch back the auctioned item would prove fruitless, given the caliber of the buyers and their influential backers."Summon those who have acquired our sect relics," the Sect Master commanded the elder seated beside him, his voice firm yet tinged w

The first elder of the Rock sect seethed with anger as he sent the disciple who had come to report the theft flying with a powerful slap. Frustration overwhelmed him, and he looked up to the sky, unleashing a roar of exasperation. "Argh!"Confusion swept over the disciples and elders who had been attacking the supposed thief moments ago. The realization struck them simultaneously: "There's no way the real first elder would steal from the sect warehouse, right?"Instantly, regret washed over them, and they fell to their knees, speaking in unison, "We apologize, first elder."The first elder's body trembled with fury, his anger reaching its peak. He had never anticipated that there were so many foolish individuals within the sect."Go and capture that thief!" he bellowed, consumed by rage.In a frenzy, all the disciples and elders scoured the sect, ransacking every corner in their relentless pursuit of Jayson.Meanwhile, Jayson, the very person they were searching for, grinned from ear
