This immortal was clearly ordinary, yet he was unusually confident.

Zheng Zhuang left the Divine Sword Sect and headed towards the Sky-Supporting Sect.

The mortal world is indeed in chaos, with demons everywhere.

He could destroy these demons with a flick of his finger, but for ordinary people, they would be a disaster.

If these demons openly committed evil, he could easily suppress and kill them.

But most of them are lurking among ordinary people, and he can't find them one by one.

Therefore, whenever he passed through a place, he could only kill the demons with higher cultivation levels, leaving the rest to be dealt with by the disciples of various sects who were out on training trips.

The efficiency and influence of the Divine Sword Sect were indeed impressive; he encountered many disciples from righteous sects along the way.

Although these disciples were not highly skilled, they were more than capable of dealing with ordinary minor demons.

However, the number of demons was too great, and the affected area was too wide, so they could only be eliminated gradually.

However, the Qingtian Sect, as the leader of the righteous path, did not send out a single disciple.

This made him even more convinced that the Sky-Piercing Sect had a problem and was very likely related to this catastrophe.

So he sped up and soon arrived at the territory of the Qingtian Sect.

This place, on the other hand, is peaceful and serene, seemingly completely unaffected by the outside world.

If he hadn't happened to see a few demons passing by the border of the Qingtian Sect and taking a detour, he probably would have thought that the Qingtian Sect was well-governed.

However, this is what made him suspicious. Low-level demons are not very intelligent and act entirely on instinct, regardless of your sect.

Clearly, there was a constraint from high-level demons. Their fear of the Sky-Piercing Sect was one aspect, but it was more like a transaction.

After traveling for a while, Zhengzhuang soon arrived at the foot of Qingtian Sect Mountain.

Looking up at the towering Qingtian Peak that pierces the clouds, Zheng Zhuang was filled with emotion.

If the Divine Sword Sect is a hermit, then the Sky-Supporting Sect is fully qualified to be a hegemon.

He did not fly on his sword, but took a deep breath and stepped onto the stone steps leading up the mountain.

The mountain road winds and twists, with ancient trees reaching for the sky on both sides, birds singing and flowers blooming in the forest, creating a peaceful and serene atmosphere.

As the altitude increases, the spiritual energy in the air becomes more abundant, making people feel refreshed and relaxed.

Finally, Zheng Zhuang arrived at the mountain gate of the Qingtian Sect.

The magnificent building is built against the mountain, exuding an imposing aura.

Two disciples blocked his way.

"Who is coming?"

Zheng Zhuang casually cupped his hands and said, "I am Zheng Zhuang, a rogue cultivator, and I have come to pay my respects to Fellow Daoist Qin Kai."

Zheng Zhuang's initial plan was to go directly to question them, but then he thought that even if these demons were related to the Qingtian Sect, it was the work of some people within the sect. Such a large sect must have some righteous people.

For example, Qin Kai is one of them.

If we can unite such a group of people, it will be much easier to solve the problem, at least we won't have to make enemies of the entire Qingtian Sect.

Unexpectedly, the two disciples exchanged a glance, and one of them, looking somewhat uneasy, said:

"So it's Fellow Daoist Zheng. What a coincidence, Elder Qin Kai is away traveling and not in the sect."

Zheng Zhuang's gaze sharpened slightly. Qin Kai had promised to come back and investigate the Qingtian Sect, so why had he suddenly gone out to travel?

Besides, they had previously agreed that even if they really went on a journey, they should send a message to each other.

Judging from their expressions, there must be something fishy going on.

"Oh? Has Fellow Daoist Qin mentioned when he will return?"

Another disciple stammered:

"How could we possibly know the elder's whereabouts? Senior, please return for now. Once Elder Qin returns, we will immediately inform him of your visit."

"Very well, since that's the case, then I, Zheng, will take my leave now."

Zheng Zhuang sighed, turned around and walked down the mountain, quickly disappearing from sight.

The two disciples guarding the mountain gate immediately breathed a sigh of relief, one of them exclaiming:

"They're finally gone. Luckily, they didn't reveal anything."

The other chuckled and said:

"So what if he has some doubts? Does he dare to force his way in? We are the number one sect in Cangzhou. Not to mention anything else, there are demons raging outside, but not a single one dares to cause trouble within the territory of our Qingtian Sect."

"Of course! But this time it's really strange. In the past, when demons and monsters appeared, we were always the first to rush to the front to kill them. But this time, even though all the small sects have been mobilized, the sect leader has not given the order yet."

"Keep your voice down! Have you forgotten why Elder Qin Kai was imprisoned?"

Zheng Zhuang, hidden in the shadows, glanced at them slightly, just as he had expected.

Zheng Zhuang continued to conceal himself and stealthily made his way into the mountain gate.

Along the way, he encountered many disciples in a hurry, but with his cultivation level, these disciples naturally could not detect him.

Except for a few secret locations where arrays are set up, most places are practically undefended.

It seems that the Qingtian Sect is very confident and believes that no one will dare to break in.

The spiritual energy on the mountain is several times denser than outside, clearly indicating the presence of a top-grade spiritual vein.

Before long, Zheng Zhuang arrived at a dungeon, which was where Qin Kai was being held.

Although Zheng Zhuang is currently unable to use his divine sense to search, there are many ways to find out about Qin Kai.

Moreover, although Qin Kai was imprisoned, he was, after all, the son of the sect leader and was not severely punished; he was merely forbidden from leaving the sect.

"Fellow Daoist Qin, how have you been? Why are you imprisoned here?" Zheng Zhuang revealed himself and asked softly.

Qin Kai, who was meditating, suddenly opened his eyes and was startled when he saw Zheng Zhuang.

"Brother Zheng? What brings you here?"

Zheng Zhuang smiled slightly and said:

"I, Zheng, have long wanted to pay a visit. What I have seen along the way confirms that it is indeed the number one sect in Cangzhou and the leader of the righteous path. It is truly extraordinary."

Qin Kai sighed:

"Brother Zheng, you flatter me. What righteous leader? I used to think so too, but I never expected that our sect would actually be colluding with the Demon God Sect! I immediately reported this to the sect leader, but I never imagined..."

"I never imagined he would imprison you here?"

"Yes, he told me not to meddle in other people's business, and I tried my best to persuade him, but... I feel that he has changed, he has become a stranger..."

"You mean, the one colluding with the Demon God Cult is your sect leader? That is, your father?"

"I don't know. It seems like it's him, but it also seems like it's not. But I can clearly feel that he is protecting the Demon God Sect, or even letting the Demon God Sect cause trouble. I just can't understand what his purpose is in doing this?"

"It's truly perplexing that the leader of the righteous path would collude with such a petty scoundrel as the Demon God Sect!"

Qin Kai was suddenly taken aback, and asked in confusion:

"By the way, have you met the sect leader? Why would he send you here to see me?"

Zheng Zhuang chuckled and said:

"No, I sneaked in, but I'll be able to see Sect Master Qin soon..."

No sooner had the words left his mouth than a grand voice resounded throughout the entire Qingtian Sect:

"Haha, we are so sorry for not welcoming our distinguished guest properly. It is our Qingtian Sect's fault for not being hospitable enough!"

Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man dressed entirely in black appeared in front of the dungeon.

He was tall and handsome, with deep and sharp eyes that exuded an invisible sense of authority.

He is none other than Qin Siyuan, the sect leader of the Qingtian Sect!
