Flying Leaf Sect?
The Great Heavenly King of Dogs furrowed his brows. "Master, the name Flying Leaf Sect comes from the saying, ’plucking flowers and flying leaves, both can be used to kill.’ I know some people from there, but I don’t know the Sect’s exact location."
Wu Tian nodded. When a thought occurred to him, he said, "I will bestow an inheritance upon you." He then extended a finger and pressed it against the Great Heavenly King of Dogs’ forehead, instantly transferring the barks-at-heaven dog inheritance to him.
The Great Heavenly King of Dogs’ eyes lit up. "Thank you, Master," he said promptly.
"No need for thanks." Wu Tian shook his head. "The urgent priority now is to find them."
"Yes." The Great Heavenly King of Dogs nodded and activated the barks-at-heaven dog inheritance. "Boundless heavens and earth, track for ten thousand miles!" he chanted.
His dog-like nose twitched as the scents of the world flowed past his nostrils. Finally, the Great Heavenly King of Dogs’ eyes widened. "Master, I know where the Flying Leaf Sect is!"
Wu Tian nodded, his tone indifferent. "Lead the way."
"Yes." The Great Heavenly King of Dogs immediately transformed into his true form—a one-hundred-meter-tall giant dog appearing upon the land. He was a Ninth Grade cultivator in the Heavenly King Realm.
Wu Tian, Qin Yuhan, and the little one stood atop the massive head of the Great Heavenly King of Dogs.
"Master, Mistress, Young Master, hold on tight! I’m about to take off!"
The hundred-meter giant dog bolted forward, soaring through the air like a shooting star as it headed directly for the Flying Leaf Sect.
The Founding Ancestor of the Flying Leaf Sect was originally a local genius. After discovering that members of the Human Clan could also practice Monster Race Cultivation Techniques, he established his own Sect. The Flying Leaf Sect was located in the forest nestled between the Xiuyuan Realm, the Artifact Domain, and the Domain of Myriad Demons.
The Flying Leaf Sect was naturally unaware of the trouble heading its way. At that moment, the Sect Master and several Great Elders were gathered in a meeting to discuss the future of their Sect.
"If the youth are strong, the Sect is strong. For our Sect to grow powerful, the key lies with the next generation." Sect Master Tang Yi, seated in the main position, surveyed the hall. "Tell me, who among the younger generation can be considered a true talent?"
The Great Elder spoke first. "My disciple, Pili, is a prodigy of his generation with the potential to reach the Heavenly King Realm in his lifetime."
"My disciple, Wudu, is an exceptional individual," the Second Elder added. "He also has a chance to become a Heavenly King Realm expert in his lifetime."
Only the Third Elder remained. In the past, he held the least power among them because he had no particularly outstanding disciples. It was just like in an imperial harem, where a mother’s status is elevated by her son; in a Sect, the same principle applied.
Normally, the Third Elder would have hung his head in dejection in such a situation. Today, however, he was visibly smug. Shaking his head, he declared, "No, no. Neither Pili nor Wudu are good enough."
"What are you saying, Old Third?" the Great Elder demanded, his eyes furious.
"My disciple Wudu is an exceptional individual! What’s not good enough about him?" the Second Elder shot back harshly.
The Sect Master looked to the Third Elder, also waiting for an explanation.
The Third Elder smiled faintly. "Previously, Pili and Wudu were indeed outstanding, the best among the disciples. But I have recently taken on a disciple whose potential far surpasses theirs."
The Great Elder and Second Elder snorted in disbelief.
Sect Master Tang Yi also frowned. "Is that true?"
The Third Elder nodded. "My disciple is a dragon among men, a peerless talent with infinite potential. Pili and Wudu cannot compare. His name is Tianlong, the Crown Prince of Qian Zhong Country, and I have already accepted him into our Sect. You should know, he possesses the Grand King’s Fire Physique!"
What?
Sect Master Tang Yi, the Great Elder, and the Second Elder were all stunned. A possessor of a Grand Spiritual Physique was already considered a genius. Someone with a Grand King Physique had even greater potential for future growth! If they could recruit a Sect Member with a Grand King-level Physique, the Flying Leaf Sect was sure to rise to a new level in the future.
Tang Yi, the Great Elder, and the Second Elder remained in stunned silence.
Seeing their reactions, the Third Elder laughed smugly. "My eye for talent is unique, a great service to our Sect. I believe that with my disciple, Tianlong, the Flying Leaf Sect will reach new heights. Perhaps we’ll even become a Six-Star Sect!"
He roared with laughter. With such a disciple, not only would the Sect advance, but his own status as an Elder would rise as well.
However, at that very moment...
WOOF!
A sudden dog’s howl erupted! The air vibrated violently, and the grounds of the Flying Leaf Sect shook as if from an earthquake. Some of the weaker disciples lost their footing and fell over.
Tang Yi and the three Elders hurried out to see what had happened.
Wu Tian and his group had arrived at the Flying Leaf Sect. Wu Tian took the lead with Qin Yuhan beside him, holding the little one. The Great Heavenly King of Dogs, in his form as a hundred-meter-tall giant dog, trailed behind them.
Gazing at the immense, mountain-like body of the Great Heavenly King of Dogs, which exuded boundless pressure, Tang Yi and the Elders felt their hearts pound with a deep sense of unease.
The Great Heavenly King of Dogs—who doesn’t know of him? But why has he come to our Flying Leaf Sect? Even stranger, he’s following behind a young man. What does that mean? Who is this person?
With these thoughts, Tang Yi and the others scrutinized Wu Tian from head to toe. They saw a young man with a handsome face and a cold gaze. His entire demeanor was so extraordinary that he did not seem like a mortal. Shaking their heads, they dismissed the thought, feeling they must have been mistaken.
Wu Tian swept his gaze over the Flying Leaf Sect, his Spiritual Sense blanketing the area. "Who is Tianlong’s master?" he asked indifferently.
The Third Elder frowned, wondering why this man was looking for Tianlong’s master. Nevertheless, he stepped forward. "I am his master."
Wu Tian nodded. "Good. You can join him in death."
What? Hearing this cold, ruthless statement, Tang Yi and the other Elders furrowed their brows. A thought struck the Third Elder, and his expression changed. His eyes flashed with Killing Intent as he roared, "You... you killed him?"
"Yes," Wu Tian replied.
At his words, Killing Intent surged not only in the eyes of the Third Elder but in those of Tang Yi and the other Elders as well. They had just glimpsed an opportunity for the Flying Leaf Sect to advance to the next level, only for the owner of a Grand King-level Physique to be killed just like that? Their eyes locked onto Wu Tian, cold and murderous. If not for their wariness of the Great Heavenly King of Dogs, they would have already swarmed forward and killed him.
Noticing their expressions, Wu Tian’s mouth curled into a disdainful smirk. "You all want to kill me? Then come and try. The big dog behind me won’t interfere."
Hearing this, they glanced at the hundred-meter-tall giant dog behind Wu Tian.
The Great Heavenly King of Dogs wanted to help, but his master had spoken. Knowing his master’s will was unchangeable, he could only say helplessly, "Rest assured, I will not interfere in your battle."
Tang Yi and the others were overjoyed to hear this, failing to notice the loophole in his words. He had said he wouldn’t interfere *in* their battle, but that didn’t mean he wouldn’t interfere *after* it was over.
"Everyone, seize him!" Tang Yi roared. The disciples of the Flying Leaf Sect immediately surrounded Wu Tian.
The Third Elder gritted his teeth. "My disciple was a peerless genius! You murdered him before he could achieve greatness. You will pay for this!"
