Chapter 609
The Discipline Department had been in the middle of a meeting, but the atmosphere felt less like governance and more like a battlefield on the verge of eruption.One of the three elders—Elder Tong—sat rigid in his seat, his face flushed with fury, his voice sharp enough to cut through steel.“We must not tolerate this,” he thundered. “Capture that Jun Jiu immediately. And as for those from Thousand Herbs Peak who dared lay hands on our people—if they refuse to submit, then we burn the entire peak to the ground.”“Elder Tong,” another elder spoke, his voice calm yet laced with quiet disapproval. It was Elder Guo. “How can you treat them as enemies? We all belong to the Wudang Sect.”Tong’s head snapped toward him, his eyes sharp and filled with hostility.“Those unruly fools?” he said coldly. “They are not part of the Wudang Sect.”“Just because you are from Sword Peak,” Guo continued, his voice steady, “doesn’t mean you must blindly support them. Have you even looked into the cause of

By the next day, word of the incident had spread across the entire sect—the Thousand Herbs Peak disciple who had crippled four members of the Discipline Committee was all anyone talked about.Within Thousand Herbs Peak, the reaction was immediate and unified. They stood behind their own.“How can a Sword Peak disciple cut off one of ours’ arms,” one disciple demanded bitterly, “and when we retaliate, the Discipline Committee suddenly says we’re the ones at fault?”“They should be investigating Sword Peak instead,” another snapped.“Exactly.”A third lowered his voice, glancing around. “But haven’t you heard? More than eighty percent of the Discipline Department… they all come from Sword Peak.”“That’s true,” someone else agreed. “Sword Peak dominates everything—tournaments, inter-peak battles. They specialize in combat. They’re always the strongest.”“Not like us,” another muttered. “We study medicine, herbs, formations… other paths. No wonder the Discipline Department always takes th

On the descending path of Thousand Herbs Peak, six outer disciples from Sword Peak made their way down the mountain, their laughter echoing through the quiet air.“Turns out Jun Jiu’s name was just hype,” one of them scoffed, grinning.“Pathetic,” another added. “He surrendered the moment he heard we were coming to test him.”“Senior brother,” a third chimed in with a smirk, “this is Thousand Herbs Peak. They’re just a bunch of herb-obsessed nerds, gardening and brewing pills all day. What would they know about real swordsmanship?”“Exactly,” someone else said. “That disciple had no idea how powerful Sword Peak truly is. And he still dared to challenge us?”“Oh, come on,” one of them laughed, nudging his companion with a crooked grin. “They’re so weak—even if Jun Jiu showed up, he’d just lower his head and lick our shoes.”“Yeah,” another voice cut in mockingly. “And that idiot friend of his—what was his name? Lu Piao? Lost his arm trying to protect that coward.”The group burst into

It took less than a week for the story to spread.By the time it did, there wasn’t a single disciple in the sect who hadn’t heard it—Jun Jiu had crushed Hou Mei in the competition.The tale moved like wildfire through the Wudang Sect, growing louder, sharper, more exaggerated with every retelling.No one could fully agree on what had truly happened in that fight. The outcome itself had been… unclear. Messy. Controversial.But one truth refused to be ignored.Jun Jiu had never been defeated.And that alone was enough.The Wudang Sect stood across thirteen towering mountain peaks, ten of which housed the major departments. Among them was the Thousand Herbs Peak.Soon, the top five disciples from each peak would gather.They would fight.The rankings of the outer disciples would be decided in that battle—and with it, the allocation of resources for the entire year. Support. Supplies. Influence.Everything was on the line.And Alex… was already at the center of it all.These days, wheneve
Chapter 605
Alex had hoped—truly hoped—that he would lose this fight.He didn’t want to become the Dao partner of Hou Mei… or Li Qingxue.Either path was a trap.His plan had been simple—force Li Qingxue into the spotlight as a Core Disciple, stir enough pressure and tension that Hou Mei would have no choice but to step back on her own.Clean. Controlled. Effective.But Li Qingxue…She had no intention of helping him.Not even a little.If anything, she seemed determined to do the exact opposite—crushing his plan without hesitation, leaving him trapped in the very situation he was trying to escape.“Jun Jiu,” Li Qingxue said coldly, “keep your delusions to yourself. You are not worthy to be my Dao partner. Give up.”Before Alex could respond, Hou Mei stepped forward, her tone soft but pressing, almost eager. “Jun Jiu, you heard Miss Li Qingxue. Why not stop struggling? Come with me instead. Be my Dao partner.”Her voice dropped slightly, more intimate now.“We can even start now. I promise… I’ll

The referee stood at the center of the arena, robes fluttering in the wind as his voice rang out across the vast grounds.“This,” he declared, sweeping his gaze over the roaring crowd, “is the most anticipated battle of the year at Thousand Herbs Peak!”The noise swelled—thousands of disciples pressing forward, eyes burning with anticipation.“And now,” the referee continued, his tone sharpening with excitement, “we arrive at the pinnacle of the tournament—the clash between the first and second-ranked contenders!”A beat.“Who will claim the title of this year’s top outer disciples of Thousand Herbs Peak?”He raised one hand, pointing to the right side of the arena.“From the right—Hou Mei!”The crowd erupted.“She is acknowledged as the most beautiful fairy of Thousand Herbs Peak—ranked among the top ten beauties of the entire Wudang Sect!”Cheers turned into a frenzy of admiration.“She has defeated every challenger before her with overwhelming skill. Her cultivation stands at the p
