"Shu Shu, You don't much time so start running." Bai Yun Feng ran away as fast as he could, it was almost impossible to complete this task in 3 days considering the distance but Liu Zheng believed that he cared about his life enough to do this.
...
Now that his messenger was gone and the delivery of the secrets of the transcendent realm was almost confirmed. It was time to deal with these guys.
The main goal was to strengthen the sect and Liu Zheng's plan was to use everything at his or one can say the 8 great family's disposal to do it. For the time being, using the techniques he had already copied and will take from them, he will form new secret arts and cultivation techniques using his Fusion ability from the system.
"Ladies and Gentlemen, Can I have your attention please?" Everyone looked at Liu Zheng as formed a hand camera gesture over his right eye. A faint red light was seen by everyone but no one understood its purpose.
"Great. Don't mind the weird gesture, It was standard protocol." Liu Zheng's words confused them even more but he continued nonetheless. "The reason I left all of you alive was because I have great use of you, as many of you would have guessed especially the Young Lady of the Qiu Family."
She flinched at his remark, already feeling scared by the demon next to him but still nodded quietly.
"Oh right, this guy right here is Zangetsu and he is not a demon. You can think of him as my brother. Zangetsu, show them."
The zanpakuto sighed and let out the yang nature of his qi, It was just as mighty and vast but its light nature wasn't fear striking which instead of reassuring them that he wasn't a demon, confused them even more.
"The aura you felt earlier was just an artifact used to inflict terror and fear, the reason we were not corrupted was because of our very strong yang qi." Liu Zheng made an excuse because explaining the balance of yin and yang would be too much of an hassle and the image of demons is not favorable either.
"Since you guys have already come so far, Why not stay at our sect for a few days, we will spare no efforts in our hospitality?" He asked politely with a smile on his face which was almost genuine but they didn't have a choice regardless.
With the intent to flex again, he used his quincy powers and the Qi particles in the air started to concentrate below the feet of everyone present there and soon elevated them above the ground as a transparent Qi platform was formed below their feet.
Several chains made of Qi shot out from the surface of the platform, alerting the people from the capital, a few even managed to defend themselves. "I am not imprisoning you, this is just so you don't fall off. Here, use that handle instead."
Many of them choose the handle instead which made zangetsu laugh inwardly. The platform lifted everyone, until they were high in the sky, adjusting towards the direction of the sect.
"Everyone, tighten your seat belts and grab your support as firmly as possible. We are going to start in 3... 2...."
Nobody really paid any mind to the warning as they were all strong cultivators who believed they can handle whatever speed one person could muster while carrying so many at once.
"1"
BOOOOOOOOOOM
"AAAAAAHHHHHH" X 20
A static boom resounded throughout the area as the sound barrier broke right as the platform launched forward. All those who opted for the support were in miserable state, using every bit of their strength to hold on to the support with one hand.
The one tied with chain had a relatively easier time but they weren't much comfortable either.
"Be ready. We are going full speed now. "
"WHAAAAAAAHHHHH" X 20
Some of them were now were on the verge of falling so Zangetsu said "Be sure to find your way to the sect or else we might need have a little chat."
This was the last thing they heard before more than 5 of them fell off as the platform broke the sound barrier again.
A few moments later,
"Bluurrgghhhh"
Liu Zheng landed everyone in a forest behind the sect. Those who were below immortal ascension realm couldn't handle traveling at such high speeds so they quickly ran to a corner as soon as they landed.
"Humph, It was barely Mach 3, how could these guys be so weak?" Zangetsu expressed his disappointment.
"Bro, Not everyone practices high speed movement techniques as soon as they can Qi. Let's get these guys settled first."
Instead of going from the front and alerting the disciples, this seemed a better option to Liu Zheng. Before leaving, Liu Zheng whispered something in Zangetsu's ear.
"Haha, Leave it to me." Zangetsu happily accepted his request and Liu Zheng left to explain the whole situation to the sect leader.
Everything went smoothly because of Sect Master's unwavering trust in Liu Zheng's character and strength, which now left him with free time to spend with his beloved Su Yan.
He was on his way to him when
[You have received Divergent Sword Technique (Heaven Grade).]
[You have received Mountain Smashing Body Art(Heaven Grader)]
[You have received Serene Core Cultivation Art (Heaven Grade)]
[You have received ....]

The system notifications indicated that his hypothesis was correct. Usually when Liu Zheng defeats an opponent, he receives their secret arts and techniques through the system but he wanted to test if the same would happen if zangetsu defeats someone and it worked.
It meant that the system recognizes Zangetsu and Liu Zheng as one entity though it makes one question, What did Zangetsu do cause so many notifications at once?
