Now, Gang Ryeong’s army had become truly terrifying, countless First-stage Martial Artists, all eternal and undying.
It was safe to say that no single person could defeat his army...
"Unless," Gang Ryeong said, "they are beyond a First-stage Martial Artist, someone from the revered realm, the Transcendent realm or even higher."
He fell silent for a moment, then turned his gaze toward Jian Ruxue.
"Do you know about the Transcendent Martial Artist?"
Jian Ruxue tilted her head slightly as she turned to him.
"Transcendent Martial Artist?"
"Yeah," Gang Ryeong replied.
"I know a little about it," she said, wearing a thoughtful expression. "It’s said that Transcendent Martial Artists are like gods to ordinary Martial Artists. Not only have their Will and body fully merged, but both evolve, producing a profound transformation."
"’Improved’? Substantial?" Gang Ryeong frowned. "Those are vague words. Do you actually know anything about them?"
Jian Ruxue shook her head helplessly.
"My master is a First-stage Martial Artist. There’s only one Transcendent Martial Artist in our sect and we don’t even know if he’s still alive."
"Your sect is that weak?"
"Our sect is weak? Some of the so-called pillars of the orthodox sects were built by nothing more than First-stage martial artists with a bit of fame. Only three pillars were truly founded by Transcendent-level martial artists," she said with pride unmistakable in her voice.
"And the other two?" Gang Ryeong asked coldly.
"The Buddhist Temple and the Tang Clan."
"We should hurry and escape. If the head of the Shadow Faction really comes after us, we might not get another chance."
"No." Gang Ryeong shook his head firmly. "Today, we will kill every last member of the Shadow Faction."
"He’s really serious..."
Seeing the cold expression on Gang Ryeong’s face, she could only sigh. She was only worried for him, after all, the Shadow Faction was one of the three great powers that ruled the martial world.
It was never as simple as dealing with just a single Transcendent Martial Artist.
Before long, they arrived at the garden once more, the heart of this branch.
Upon reaching it, silence fell between them.
Gang Ryeong scanned the surroundings with a sharp gaze.
"Without the doorkeeper, it’s impossible to enter the Shadow Faction’s headquarters. We’ve raided branches like this countless times, yet we’ve never found the way in," she said coolly.
"I see," Gang Ryeong murmured, scratching his head in thought.
"There’s something missing... but I just can’t put my finger on it."
There had always been a lingering doubt in Gang Ryeong’s heart. How could the Shadow Faction possess such advanced technology, teleportation, no less?
Even if they had acquired it through some unknown means, they should have developed techniques related to it. So why were they still so obsessed with chasing after Death Energy like fools?
Of course, there could be variables.
But Gang Ryeong couldn’t shake the feeling that something was off, something he was overlooking.
He stood still for a moment. Then, suddenly, his eyes widened.
"It might be that..."
