*Heaven's Secret Sect*
"It seems you are right; there appear to be remnants of a Physique Tribulation," said the middle-aged man with a scar on his face, staring at Heaven's Secret Sect.
"In that case..." said the muscular young man next to the middle-aged man, rubbing his hands with a happy smile.
"I will grant you the Seven Transformations pill when we return to the sect," nodded the middle-aged man, having promised the disciple the pill if the information was correct, provided he didn't tell others in the sect about it.
"Thank you very much, Deacon Mo," the young man smiled happily, glad to have gambled on this damned deacon.
Although Deacon Mo was known for his greed and thirst for power, he rewarded those who benefited him, so the poor disciple decided to bet by providing this information, and luckily, it seemed he won.
"Welcome, esteemed guests from the God Realm," said a handsome man in his late teens (Heavenly Puppet) as he surrounded Deacon Mo and the muscular young man with four other people. "May I know the reason for your visit to our humble sect?"
Despite Heavenly Puppet's polite words, there was no trace of fear or respect on his face, especially since The Four Heavenly Generals were pressing them with profound strength.
"Huh~ I didn't expect to see such power in a desolate place like this," said Deacon Mo confidently, although he was sweating heavily inside, not expecting four people in the 2nd Divine Soul Realm while he was only in the 5th.
As for Heavenly Puppet, he was the most frightening since Deacon Mo couldn't gauge his strength, implying he was stronger, and he never imagined he was just a mortal, as it was impossible for a mere mortal to make him feel such danger just by standing there.
"I believe you still haven't answered my question," said Heavenly Puppet, raising an eyebrow, increasing the pressure on the two significantly.
Cough!! The young man coughed some blood and lost consciousness, unable to withstand the pressure from Heavenly Puppet.
"Do you know who we are? I am a Deacon in the Heavenly Body Sect that rules the Green Grass Realm," shouted Deacon Mo angrily, unleashing his full power to resist Heavenly Puppet's pressure.
"I said that's not an answer to my question," said Heavenly Puppet calmly, releasing a bit of killing intent toward Deacon Mo.
Gulp
"I came to investigate because a disciple from my sect saw someone undergoing Physique Tribulation on this small planet," said Deacon Mo, swallowing hard, cursing himself for not presenting this news to one of the Elders to gain many rewards and avoid seeing such a monster in human skin.
"I told you, and if you know any information, I will reward you well," said Deacon Mo, regaining some confidence. "And if you provide useful information, I might consider taking you as a disciple and bringing you to the Heavenly Body Sect, as you must be talented to achieve this power at your age with this planet's resources."
"..." Heavenly Puppet said nothing, but the aura and killing intent disappeared as he looked back to see many lights rapidly approaching them.
"We greet you, Young Master," X5.
Upon seeing Yu Tian's arrival, everyone from Heaven's Secret Sect bowed to him respectfully, ignoring Deacon Mo.
"Stand up..." Yu Tian nodded to everyone, his eyes falling on the middle-aged man with a scary scar, but he was interrupted by the person concerned.
"Fairy Bingyun!! It's been a long time," exclaimed Deacon Mo happily upon seeing Mu Bingyun, as if he saw the last straw to save his life. "I am Deacon Mo from the Heavenly Body Sect; we met previously when Fairy Bingyun came to the Heavenly Body Sect to train her body to withstand poison."
Due to Bingyun's poisoning, her sister Mu Xuanyin tried various methods to help her, and training her body in the Heavenly Body Sect was one such method, as she needed to withstand the poison as much as possible until a final solution was found.
"It's been a while, Deacon Mo," Bingyun nodded indifferently towards the middle-aged man, not really remembering him but having some impression. "May I know why Deacon Mo is bullying the sect of my disciple's brother?"
"Bullying? Impossible, I was merely asking them some questions," said Deacon Mo with an embarrassed smile, as he was the one being bullied, not the other way around.
"Are you referring to the information about the person who underwent Physique Tribulation?" Bingyun said calmly. "If so, I'm afraid Deacon Mo's visit was in vain, as the person in question died during the Physique Tribulation."
"Unfortunately, we've lost a companion on the same path," Deacon Mo smiled sadly, as if genuinely sorry, but greed was evident in his eyes. "If possible, can I have the body of this companion to give him a proper burial, as a fellow traveler, I want to pay my highest respects to him."
"..." Yu Tian glared at Deacon Mo with narrowed eyes, anger blazing in his crimson eyes, realizing the damned old man wanted the body to turn it into an elixir or treasure for himself.
Thinking that he might have died during the Physique Tribulation and the old man obtained his body made Yu Tian shudder with disgust, a flicker of killing intent in his eyes.
