Chapter 122: Revenge

Upon hearing the competitor's doubts about him, Zhou Shengkao responded with displeasure.

He not only tried his best to prove Meng Zhang's credibility but also defended him at every turn. He almost pledged his life to guarantee Meng Zhang's innocence.

The two argued for a while until Shan Ying became impatient. He waved his hand, silencing them, and sent them away.

Shortly after Zhou Shengkao and Li Zhanli left the room, Dan Yihu looked into the empty space of the room and asked, "What do you think?"

Suddenly, accompanied by a cold gust of wind, a person clad in a black cloak appeared, completely shrouded from head to toe.

A cold and hoarse voice echoed in the room.

"The key to this matter does not lie with that Taiyi Sect boy but with the Zhao Family."

"Four years ago, in order to evade the pursuit of the Flying Swan Sect, I had to abandon everything and flee temporarily. I couldn't spare any thought for that place."

"Unexpectedly, a few days ago, when I returned to that mine, I found the Formation I had painstakingly set up had been broken, and all the spiritual materials were looted."

As the cloaked figure spoke, their tone became even colder, and an intense killing intent was not hidden.

"At first, I thought it might be the work of Flying Swan Sect cultivators who had discovered the place. If that were the case, I would have accepted it."

"However, unexpectedly, rumors emerged at this time. The Zhao Family somehow obtained a batch of spiritual materials, which made me suspicious."

"Just yesterday, I captured a cultivator from the Zhao Family and probed their soul. It turned out that indeed, it was the Zhao Family who broke the Formation and stole the spiritual materials."

Upon hearing this, Shan Ying's face turned frosty.

"The Zhao Family deserves to die for ruining the grand plan of our two families."

"The Zhao Family does deserve to die, but Twin Success Valley is right nearby. Why didn't you take care of that place?" the cloaked person asked fiercely.

"Brother, you should know that the mine was abandoned due to the chaos caused by the sand monsters back then. It has no connection with Twin Success Valley anymore."

"Our Twin Success Valley cultivators have never approached that place. As for what happened there, we know nothing about it."

Dan Yihu explained patiently.

"Cooperating secretly with us, the Ghost Path cultivators, yet fearing exposure. Always eager to distance yourselves and avoid trouble. Pretending not to know even the critical location of the Formation, showing no concern at all."

"What kind of behavior is this? Self-deception, self-doubt, simply laughable to the extreme."

Hearing the stern rebuke from the cloaked figure, Dan Yihu looked embarrassed, and Shan Ying's face showed signs of anger.

"Ghost Path cultivators are paranoid, bloodthirsty, and ruthless. They are not good partners to deal with. Who knows when they might turn against us."

Unfortunately, in the eyes of outsiders, Dan Yihu was a high-ranking elder of Twin Success Valley. However, within the sect, he didn't have the authority to make decisions. There were elders with higher status and cultivation base than him.

For now, Dan Yihu put aside the matter of the Ghost Path cultivators and discussed with Shan Ying to decide the fate of the Zhao Family.

After reaching an agreement, they called Zhou Shengkao and Li Zhanli, giving them instructions to begin their actions.

A few days later, Zhou Shengkao once again summoned Meng Zhang to his courtyard.

"Meng, I heard that the Zhao Family has repeatedly oppressed your Taiyi Sect, causing you a lot of grievances."

Meng Zhang didn't know Zhou Shengkao's intentions and casually replied, "The Zhao Family is overbearing, and my Taiyi Sect is weak. There's nothing we can do."

"Now, there is a great opportunity for revenge waiting for you."

"Meng, on the night after tomorrow, take the elite disciples of Taiyi Sect and wait outside the Zhao Family's mountain gate. There will be a chance to take revenge and settle your grievances."

As Zhou Shengkao continued speaking, his tone became more commanding.

Although Meng Zhang wanted to inquire further, Zhou Shengkao didn't answer and simply sent him away.

Meng Zhang had a feeling that he had to make this trip since Zhou Shengkao had adopted this attitude.

However, as for taking the elite disciples of Taiyi Sect, he decided against it. Taiyi Sect didn't have any capable experts other than him at the moment.

To avoid any hindrance, Meng Zhang decided to go alone.

Before setting off, Zhang Zhanlin brought him the latest news.

Rumors were spreading in the market that the Zhao Family had obtained a furnace of Foundation Building Pills. The Zhao Family's patriarch, Zhao Yanbei, was in seclusion, preparing to break through to the Foundation Building stage.

As for the surplus Foundation Building Pills, the Zhao Family intended to offer them to Twin Success Valley.

If the Foundation Building Pills fell into Twin Success Valley's hands, loose cultivators from all walks of life would never have a chance to obtain them.

Similar rumors were rampant in the market, and many cultivators, including some from prominent families and sects, believed them to be true.

Upon hearing these rumors, Meng Zhang finally understood that Twin Success Valley had started to take action. It seemed they were determined to bring the Zhao Family to its demise.
