Chapter 125: Noble Sect
Arriving early is not as good as arriving opportune; the Hidden Scripture Pavilion has been breached, and Meng Zhang followed suit and rushed in.
The Zhao Family's Hidden Scripture Pavilion is divided into three layers, with many bookshelves inside, all filled with various collections.
Meng Zhang selected an area, and his flying sword, Soft Around The Finger, kept rotating around the area, clearly indicating it as his territory.
Meng Zhang moved swiftly and quickly stored all the books in this area into his storage bag.
Firstly, many cultivators were not interested in the books in the Hidden Scripture Pavilion; they were mainly here to plunder treasures. Secondly, the pavilion held numerous books, making it unnecessary to compete with such a ruthless individual.
Meng Zhang's sword technique had quite an intimidating effect on these cultivators.
Disappointingly for most cultivators, the Hidden Scripture Pavilion contained only books and no other valuable items.
Meng Zhang collected all the books from this area and moved on to compete for books in other areas.
There was a cultivator from the Flying Eagle Sect who seemed dissatisfied with Meng Zhang's domineering behavior and wanted to exchange a few moves with him.
Meng Zhang's sword technique allowed him to challenge and contend against Qi Refining cultivators easily. In just a few moves, he wounded the Flying Eagle Sect cultivator.
If Meng Zhang hadn't been in a rush to plunder the books, this Flying Eagle Sect cultivator might not have escaped with his life.
With the Hidden Scripture Pavilion looted empty, Meng Zhang took the most significant advantage and took away the most books.
Several cultivators were dissatisfied and attacked him.
The flying sword danced, and Meng Zhang slew these cultivators in a sorry state.
Meng Zhang pursued them to the entrance of the Hidden Scripture Pavilion, and from the side of the ancestral hall, came bursts of miserable screams.
The defenders of the Zhao Family's ancestral hall seemed to have used some hidden trump cards and killed a large number of attacking cultivators.
However, after using these trump cards, the Zhao Family side became completely powerless to counterattack.
Seeing the opportunity, surrounding cultivators swarmed from all sides.
Just when the Zhao Family's ancestral hall and treasury were about to be taken, a loud shout came from outside Fuzhao Valley.
"Who are these insignificant beings daring to act so recklessly here? Don't you know that Zhao Family is under the authority of our Twin Success Valley?"
"Disciples of Twin Success Valley are here. Criminals, stay where you are!"
...
Two figures flew from afar, with two flying boats trailing behind them.
"These scoundrels from Twin Success Valley truly live up to their noble sect reputation. As expected, they adhere to the ways of righteousness," Meng Zhang couldn't help but curse.
Cultivators at the Foundation Building stage from Twin Success Valley appeared, while most of the cultivators here were only at the Qi Refining stage.
Meng Zhang didn't hesitate and immediately fled from the Twin Success Valley cultivators. If they encountered him, they wouldn't show any mercy.
Behind him, he heard the desperate cries of those about to die, which only urged Meng Zhang to hasten his escape.
Fortunately, the Twin Success Valley cultivators were entangled in a chaotic situation at the Zhao Family's mountain gate. By the time they cleared it up, Meng Zhang had already disappeared without a trace.
Many clever individuals, like Meng Zhang, rushed out of the Zhao Family's mountain gate.
Living beings couldn't be stored in a storage bag; if monster eggs were left inside for too long, they would gradually lose their vitality.
Meng Zhang hurried back to Taiyi Sect and took out the Crimson Feather Liquid. After placing more than a dozen eggs safely, he began sorting through the books he looted from the Hidden Scripture Pavilion.
Zhao Family was also a family that had produced Foundation Building stage cultivators, and their collection was quite valuable. It would greatly enhance Taiyi Sect's heritage.
Meng Zhang also had high hopes for the dozen or so eggs. He had long admired the Crimson Feather Eagle from the Zhao Family.
In the inheritance obtained from the Trial Ground, there were also simple techniques for taming and hatching monster eggs.
As long as these eggs successfully hatched, Taiyi Sect would have flying mounts.
Thinking about the recent events, Meng Zhang felt some contempt towards Twin Success Valley.
It was like they wanted to act as a whore but still wanted to keep up appearances.
Clearly, they wanted to annihilate the entire Zhao Family, but they were unwilling to dirty their own hands.
They made such a simple matter so complicated.
First, they spread rumors to incite greed in many cultivators, making them attack Zhao Family. Then, they secretly sabotaged Zhao Family's protective formation, allowing many cultivators to break in.
When Zhao Family was breached, Twin Success Valley appeared like saviors and took the final spoils.
Those various cultivators who were used by Twin Success Valley not only gained nothing but might even lose their lives.
Who knows who this performance was staged for? Or perhaps this was just how Twin Success Valley habitually operated, always following these methods.
As the instigator of the rumors about Zhao Family, Meng Zhang had no sense of guilt.
Zhao Family's annihilation benefited Taiyi Sect. In the world of cultivation, being merciful to enemies was not a virtue.
A few days later, news of the Zhao Family incident spread quickly in the surrounding areas.
Li Xuan brought Meng Zhang the latest information.
According to the official statement from Twin Success Valley, the news about Zhao Family having Foundation Building Pills was entirely false.
Many deceived cultivators attacked Zhao Family in pursuit of non-existent Foundation Building Pills, resulting in the extermination of the entire Zhao Family. Even the mortals living in Fuzhao Valley were said to have been slaughtered by these crazed cultivators.
After arriving, Twin Success Valley avenged Zhao Family by retaking the mountain gate and killing many of the attackers. The mountain gate would be temporarily entrusted to Twin Success Valley's cultivators. When the Zhao Family cultivators who were traveling outside returned, the mountain gate would be returned to them.
Hearing Li Xuan's report, Meng Zhang sneered repeatedly.
Indeed, this was the style of a noble sect. Not only were all the Zhao Family cultivators killed, even their mortal relatives couldn't escape death.
As for the Zhao Family cultivators who were traveling outside, they would probably die without any explanation, with no chance to return to the Zhao Family alive.
The wealth accumulated by the Zhao Family over three hundred years, along with the Second Rank spirit vein, had all become Twin Success Valley's spoils.
Fortunately, Meng Zhang acted quickly and didn't make the trip in vain; he made quite a harvest.
The news of Zhao Family's annihilation caused a great uproar but eventually settled down after some time.
However, the rumors did not completely dissipate.
New rumors began to circulate, claiming that Twin Success Valley was the mastermind behind Zhao Family's annihilation and that all the Foundation Building Pills from Zhao Family ended up in Twin Success Valley's hands.
Once rumors spread, even the original instigator could not stop their propagation and alteration.
But Twin Success Valley was not Zhao Family; these simple rumors couldn't harm them at all.
Even if the rumors were true, so what? With ten Foundation Building cultivators, who in the surrounding areas would dare to confront them directly?
As the ruler of this region, Twin Success Valley had always been the subject of various rumors.
But had these rumors ever harmed Twin Success Valley? Had Twin Success Valley ever been afraid of such rumors?
