ALL NOVELS' LIST | Chapter List: Sect Master's Immortal Journey

When Meng Zhang launched a surprise attack on one of the masked individuals, Jin Qiao'er and Yang Xueyi acted simultaneously as well. Jin Qiao'er's palms danced in the air, forcing the other masked person into a miserable state. Not only were their protective magic tools shattered in the process, but their mask was also cracked, revealing half of their face.Discover, Devour, Delight: N♡vεlB¡n.

Yang Xueyi utilized the Azure Cloud Silk, gently rolling it out to bring An Xiaoran, who was lying on the ground, closer to herself.

Meng Zhang was about to strike the masked person with the severed arm when he heard a somewhat familiar voice. Despite his continued actions, he refrained from delivering the finishing blow, choosing to capture the opponent first.

A true qi-formed whip flew from his hand, firmly entangling the masked person with the severed arm.

At that moment, Meng Zhang finally had a chance to look at the other masked individual. With his excellent memory, even though half of their face was concealed, he immediately recognized them. Wasn't this Grey Mouse?

Years ago, when Meng Zhang hired cultivators from the black market for a mission, he first encountered Jue Ying, Grey Mouse, and Black Horse. Later, after becoming friends with Jue Ying, he learned from him that Grey Mouse and Black Horse had close ties to the black market and could be considered its members.

Seeing them here, involved in the kidnapping of An Xiaoran, could it be that the black market had turned against him? But Meng Zhang had no enmity with the black market; on the contrary, they had a relatively close working relationship. What reasons led the black market to treat him as an enemy?

Though puzzled, Meng Zhang remained composed without any visible expression. Not even recognizing Grey Mouse would deter him, as he joined the battle to help Jin Qiao'er capture the masked man.

When they first met, Grey Mouse was merely a Refining Qi stage cultivator. Many years had passed, and now he had made significant progress, reaching the Foundation Building stage.

Unfortunately for Grey Mouse, while he had made considerable strides, Meng Zhang's progress was even greater. With Meng Zhang's mid-Foundation Building cultivation base and the support of Jin Qiao'er, Grey Mouse, who was already struggling, found it even more challenging to resist.

In the sky, two cultivators were flying towards the scene and noticed the ongoing battle. They immediately accelerated, intending to come to their companion's aid.

Being caught by Meng Zhang in this situation was awkward for both Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle. Due to their past relationship with Luo Ye, their relationship with the black market had been quite good. Furthermore, as Taiyi Sect grew in influence, Meng Zhang's importance to the black market increased as well. It would be difficult to explain how their kidnapping of Meng Zhang's direct disciple resulted in them being captured on the spot.

The masks Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle wore were obviously of high quality, blocking much of the power of Meng Zhang's Deception Breaking Eye. He could only see two somewhat blurry faces, not much more.

At this moment, Yang Xueyi removed the restrictions on An Xiaoran's body and began carefully examining whether there were any other hidden mechanisms on him.

Grey Mouse and the other masked individual captured by Meng Zhang were thrown within reach at his feet. Meng Zhang lightly kicked them; Grey Mouse seemed unaffected, but the masked man with the severed arm couldn't help but let out a painful groan.

Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle exchanged glances, realizing they couldn't remain silent any longer.

"Sect Master Meng, this is all a misunderstanding, we had no ill intentions..."

"Enough, don't treat me like a three-year-old," Meng Zhang interrupted Lone Wolf.

"Explain everything immediately, or don't expect me to spare you any mercy."

As Meng Zhang spoke, he made a throat-slitting gesture toward Grey Mouse and the other masked individual.

In his mind, Lone Wolf cursed White Dove, the mastermind behind this plan. All this trouble for the promise of some benefits from Shangguan Longyan, just to plot against Meng Zhang. Now it had all backfired, and they were the ones caught.

Grey Mouse and his accomplices proved to be incompetent. Even though they were both Foundation Building cultivators, they were easily captured by Meng Zhang. It was an embarrassing blow to the black market's reputation.

Despite Grey Mouse's failures, Lone Wolf and Bald Eagle couldn't ignore the situation. The black market was powerful, with numerous cultivators, but they weren't at a stage where they could casually abandon mid Foundation Building cultivators.
