Chapter 1685 He's furious!
For the next period of time, Ji Zhou led the Battle Hall like a tireless blade, shuttling through various parts of the Spirit Realm.
They wiped out the bandits who had been entrenched for many years, rescued the kidnapped women and children, cleared away the swarms of demonic insects that were harassing the spirit fields of Medicine King Valley, and preserved the foundation upon which the local small sects depended for survival.
They even traveled to remote areas to help several ordinary villages plagued by a strange plague to eradicate the source of the disease...
Every operation was carried out cleanly and efficiently, and afterwards, only the name of Wan Chuan Zong remained!
We will not take a single penny, nor seek any reward!
This unconventional approach, coupled with their astonishing efficiency and the occasional, incomprehensible, and peculiar power they displayed, made the name Wanchuan Sect like a stone thrown into a calm lake, creating ripples that grew ever wider!
Initially, it was only passed down orally among lower-level cultivators and mortal villages, with a degree of skepticism.
However, as more and more forces received assistance, some smaller sects and cultivation families also began to notice this mysterious force that had suddenly emerged.
"Have you heard? That group of evil cultivators from Red Ridge Mountain was wiped out by a sect called Wan Chuan Sect!"
"They also killed that poisonous crocodile in Luoxia Marsh! Several villages have erected shrines in its honor!"
"They resolved the crisis at Medicine King Valley? What were they after?"
"Who knows... But I've heard that they are very strong and upright, it's just that... the techniques they use are a bit strange, and I can't figure out how they're used."
Similar discussions quietly spread among the lower and middle-level forces in the Spirit Realm.
The reputation of Wanchuan Sect was accumulating at a solid and rapid pace.
Although it has not yet had direct contact with those top sects, it has already become a respected and anticipated entity in the eyes of many independent cultivators and small forces.
There are even many independent cultivators who want to join the Wanchuan Sect, but they can't find the entrance to the sect!
Their fame spread rapidly, causing a stir throughout the entire Spirit Realm.
Upon hearing the sect's name, Mu Yaoyao, Chu Huai, and Lin Ruowei guessed that it might be related to Mingchuan.
And if they could all guess it, how could Su Hongzhen not have noticed it?
He was extremely anxious every day, and was almost driven to death by anger!
"Wan Chuan Sect, Wan Chuan Sect... This is clearly pointing to Ming Chuan! That damned brat actually dared to come to my Spirit Realm to establish a sect! After causing so much trouble here, he still dares to swagger around like this!?"
What angered him even more was that the Jizhou who was in Qingfeng Yumen before was the same Jizhou who was now leading the Wanchuan Sect Battle Hall to kill enemies everywhere!
"Damn the Ye family father and son! They're raising people for Mingchuan right under my nose!!!"
He was so angry he almost fainted. Now that Jizhou's strength had reached the peak of the Core Formation stage, he was a great threat to him!
"No..." Su Hongzhen clenched his fists tighter and tighter. He had to think of a way to suppress the name of Wanchuan Sect!
Su Hongzhen's eyes darted around, and he immediately summoned a man in black.
"Go, take a group of men, pretend to be disciples of the Wanchuan Sect, and tarnish their reputation outside!"
"Yes!" The man in black accepted the order and disappeared into the shadows like a ghost.
As the figure disappeared, Su Hongzhen smiled slightly, and his displeasure subsided somewhat.
This kind of thing naturally couldn't be left to Su Hao and Luo Yang to do, since the two of them still had some sense of justice.
Asking them to do such a thing might cause them to have a mental breakdown. Before the troubles outside are resolved, problems might arise within their own sect.
Su Hongzhen smiled. Could a mere small sect possibly stand up to him?
……
Within a few days, negative news about the Wanchuan Sect began to circulate in the Spirit Realm.
First, in a small town near the territory of the Liuyun Sect, several cultivators claiming to be disciples of the Wanchuan Sect forcibly demanded a large amount of exorcism resources under the pretext of eliminating lurking demons, and then disappeared without a trace, leaving the townspeople who were robbed of everything and dared not speak out in anger.
Immediately afterwards, another small caravan was intercepted by a group of masked men while passing through a remote mountain road. Their goods were looted and their guards were injured.
Before leaving, the masked men deliberately left a message: "Hmph, daring to disrespect my Wan Chuan Sect, this is what happens!"
Similar incidents occurred in several different places. Although they were not large in scale, they were highly targeted and their style of doing things was completely opposite to the chivalrous image that Jizhou and his group had previously established.
Domineering, greedy, and even somewhat cruel!
At first, those forces and individuals who had received favors from Wanchuan Sect did not believe it, but rumors spread like wildfire, and it was inevitable that some people would have doubts.
"No way? The immortals of the Wanchuan Sect weren't like this before?"
"You can know a person's face but not their heart; who knows if they're faking it?"
"I think he was just trying to gain fame before, and now that he's famous, he's showing his true colors!"
These discussions naturally reached Jizhou's ears, who was on a new mission.
"Fucking fart!"
Amu was the first to jump up, his face flushed with anger. "This is clearly a frame-up! When have we ever done such a despicable thing!"
Da Niu clenched his fists and roared, "If I find out who's behind this, I'll skin them alive!"
The other disciples were also outraged. They had fought and fought to rid the people of evil, and the reputation they had worked so hard to build was now being tarnished by such despicable means.
Jizhou's expression was calm, but a storm was brewing deep in his eyes.
He had expected this to happen, so he wasn't panicked and remained relatively calm.
He raised his hand to quell the commotion and calmly analyzed, "Everyone, please calm down. This is clearly someone who is jealous of the rise of our Wanchuan Sect and is trying to trip us up behind the scenes. Those who would do this are nothing more than those forces that have had grudges against us or are afraid that we will threaten their interests."
The images of Liuyun Sect and even Qingcheng Yufa Sect flashed through his mind in an instant.
"A tall tree catches the wind," Ji Zhou said in a deep voice. "This slander can't destroy the reputation that our Wan Chuan Sect has earned through concrete actions! However, we absolutely cannot sit idly by!"
He swept his gaze across the crowd and ordered, "Change the plan! The next task is to prioritize investigating these impersonation cases! We must catch these rats by the tail as quickly as possible, expose their true colors in front of everyone, and restore the innocence of the Wan Chuan Sect!"
"Yes!"
The disciples of the Battle Hall responded in unison, their fighting spirit reignited.
Amu's smile turned into a ferocious grin.
"Hehe, these people probably don't know what we did in the human realm before, do they? Perfect, let's take this opportunity to thoroughly dampen their arrogance!"
Seeing that Amu and the others' smiles had turned evil, Jizhou also smiled, but he didn't intend to do anything about it.
When they were maintaining order in the human world, they encountered many such scoundrels who wanted to ruin their reputation.
Back then, these brothers were incredibly ruthless...
It just so happens that this incident must have been orchestrated by the Qingcheng Yufa Sect, who guessed that the Wanchuan Sect was the sect of Mingchuan.
Well then... he won't hold back!
