Open up and break into another world

Some families rejoice, while others grieve.

Just as Xu Ming was excitedly leading his little brothers home, the Remnant Moon Sect was filled with sorrow.

The leaders of the five great earth-grade forces—Snowdrift City, Holy Fire Gate, Lakeside Island, Qianyang Palace, and the Ye Family—had all gathered at the Remnant Moon Sect.

"Tianqizi, regarding this matter, your Remnant Moon Sect must give us an explanation!" Ouyang Xiexi, the master of the Holy Fire Gate, coldly snorted.

Tianqizi was the Sect Master of the Remnant Moon Sect. He wore a gray-black robe with a crescent moon embroidered on the chest.

At this moment, Tianqizi's expression was extremely unsightly—the five great earth-grade forces! Any one of them was no weaker than the Remnant Moon Sect; if the five joined forces and were willing to pay the price, they could even destroy the Remnant Moon Sect!

However, one must not lose face; Tianqizi spoke with great firmness.

"Explanation? What explanation!? We, the Remnant Moon Sect, are the biggest victims here! Not only have we suffered heavy losses, but we've also become the laughingstock of dozens of surrounding territories!" Tianqizi spoke with righteous indignation, "We're already crying, and you still come to us for an explanation?"

"Tianqizi, you're clearly trying to shirk responsibility, aren't you?" The people of the Holy Fire Gate were mostly hot-tempered, probably due to the cultivation methods they practiced. "If you dare to shirk responsibility, ask the broadsword in my hand if it agrees!"

"What responsibility am I shirking!?" Tianqizi was fearless. "It's not like our Remnant Moon Sect wanted to destroy the Demonic Fiend Gate! It's just that this year, the Demonic Fiend Gate happened to be under our control, and then this happened! If any of you were in charge, this could have happened just the same!"

"Bullshit!" Ouyang Xiexi directly cursed, "Our Holy Fire Gate isn't as useless as your Remnant Moon Sect! If any imposter dared to provoke us at the Holy Fire Gate, I would immediately send a disciple in the third level of the Spiritual Peak Realm to storm into the Dao Devil Palace and capture him alive!"

"Humph!"

Tianqizi snorted. He knew that Ouyang Xiexi's words were intended to "show off his disciple."

Unfortunately, among the disciples of the Remnant Moon Sect in this generation, there was no one who could be shown off; not even a disciple in the second level of the Spiritual Peak Realm—otherwise, when the Remnant Moon Sect was humiliated by Xu Ming, they wouldn't have been so stifled; they would have sent a disciple in the second level of the Spiritual Peak Realm to take revenge!

Tianqizi's mood at this time was like this: "Damn it, this Ouyang Xiexi is clearly showing off in front of me, but I can't outdo him!"

"Humph!" Tianqizi snorted, "Now that the Dao-Seeking Devil Domain is about to collapse, is there any point in assigning blame?"

"Of course there is a point; since you are responsible, you must pay the price!" Ouyang Xiexi cursed.

Tianqizi brought the conversation back to the starting point: "We, the Remnant Moon Sect, are the biggest victims; you want us to pay the price?"

Ouyang Xiexi vented his anger again: "Tianqizi, you're clearly trying to shirk responsibility, aren't you? If you dare to shirk responsibility, ask the broadsword in my hand if it agrees!"

"Everyone, please be quiet for a moment and let me say a few words!" Tang Chengxue, the City Lord of Snowdrift City, said.

Snowdrift City was faintly the strongest among the six top earth-grade forces. Moreover, City Lord Tang Chengxue was rumored to be pursued by many high-level figures from heaven-grade forces; her popularity was undoubtedly powerful.

Therefore, when Tang Chengxue spoke, Tianqizi and Ouyang Xiexi gave her face and immediately stopped arguing.

"Tianqizi," Tang Chengxue looked at him, "Everyone knows that I, Tang Chengxue, am a reasonable person. Let me say something, and see if what I say makes sense!"

"Good!" Tianqizi said.

"First, according to the previous agreement among our great earth-grade forces, whoever is in charge of the Demonic Fiend Gate is responsible if something goes wrong with the Demonic Fiend Gate—that's right, isn't it?"

"Secondly, your Remnant Moon Sect's response to that imposter was indeed too casual! Even if you had lost face and asked us for help, the result might not have been like this!"

"Of course, it's not that we are completely without responsibility. At that time, if we hadn't been focused on watching your Remnant Moon Sect make a fool of yourselves, but had lent a helping hand, the situation might have been different now."

"However, among our six forces, the greatest responsibility lies with your Remnant Moon Sect, that's right, isn't it?—Although you are also the biggest victims, it cannot conceal this fact."

Tang Chengxue spoke logically and in a gentle tone, which made Tianqizi feel much better.

"City Lord Tang, I actually understand all of what you said!" Tianqizi said, "It's just that Ouyang Xiexi's mouth was too harsh, so I couldn't help but argue with him!"

"You understand, then why don't you quickly tell us how you're going to compensate us?" Ouyang Xiexi's mouth started firing again.

This time, Tianqizi suppressed his anger and looked at Tang Chengxue, saying, "I think, instead of asking me for an explanation, why don't we six earth-grade forces join hands and seek justice from that imposter!"

"Seek justice from the imposter? That's easier said than done! Do you know who the imposter is?" Ouyang Xiexi interjected.

"Ouyang Xiexi, please say less!" Tang Chengxue said, then looked at Tianqizi, "Could it be… you already know who the imposter is?"

"I don't know who the imposter is. However…" Tianqizi said, "According to the information we, the Remnant Moon Sect, currently have, all the evidence points to the imposter coming from a heaven-grade force—the Thousand Transformations Sect!"

Tang Chengxue pondered for a moment: "Are you sure?"

Such things cannot be slandered. Moreover, Tang Chengxue indeed believed that Tianqizi would never dare to slander a heaven-grade force.

"Certain!" Tianqizi said with great certainty.

Tang Chengxue and the other big shots present discussed it: "Alright… since it's certain that the Thousand Transformations Sect is interfering, then we six earth-grade forces will go to the Thousand Transformations Sect together to demand an explanation!"

Soon, Tianqizi, Tang Chengxue, and the six leaders of the earth-grade forces arrived at the Thousand Transformations Sect together.

After the Sect Master of the Thousand Transformations Sect heard that they had come to "demand an explanation," his expression turned cold: "What nonsense? Are you implying that our Thousand Transformations Sect destroyed the Dao-Seeking Devil Domain Secret Realm?"

"Yes! I have evidence!" Tianqizi said.

"Oh? Bring the evidence for me to see!"

After the Sect Master of the Thousand Transformations Sect finished reading the evidence, he raised his palm and began slapping Tianqizi's face wildly. While slapping, he cursed:

"You motherfucker, this is the evidence you're talking about?"

"That those proficient in disguise are disciples of my Thousand Transformations Sect?"

"That those who claim to be from the Thousand Transformations Sect are really from the Thousand Transformations Sect?"

"What benefit would my Thousand Transformations Sect get from destroying your secret realm? Your own secret realm was destroyed, and you want to pin the blame on my Thousand Transformations Sect?"

Slap! Slap! Slap! Slap! …

The Sect Master of the Thousand Transformations Sect was hitting him fiercely!

Tianqizi was only a Dao Lord cultivator; facing the Dao Venerate-level Sect Master of the Thousand Transformations Sect, how could he have the strength to resist? Instantly, his entire face was beaten beyond recognition!

"You… you dare to do it but don't dare to admit it!" Tianqizi denounced while being beaten.

"Dare to do it but don't dare to admit it?—I say the Thousand Transformations Sect didn't do it, then we didn't do it! If you don't believe it, everyone can go to the 'Hall of Inquiry' to confront us!"

…

Foot of the Desolate Mountain.

Xu Ming and his group finally arrived.

Looking at the familiar ten thousand steps of stone stairs, as well as those familiar Desolate Sect buildings on the top of the mountain, Xu Ming felt endless emotion in his heart.

"Desolate Sect, I'm finally back!"
