“What?!”

Ding Shixiong and the others’ expressions changed.

They originally thought that this group of people was plundering martial arts just to practice and obtain some benefits. They did not expect this person’s plan to spread the martial arts of these sects throughout the world.

Why did he harm others without benefiting himself? Was it purely for revenge?

If the martial arts of the sect were to spread on a large scale, it would become a common good in the future. Even a third-rate martial artist might be able to play a few moves of the Wu Mountain Sect’s martial arts… If their martial arts were learned by outsiders and broken by others, the Wu Mountain Sect would be reduced to a second or third-rate sect!

Looking at the shocked expressions of everyone from the Wu Mountain Sect, Zhou Jing suddenly spoke,

“However, I can give you a chance to salvage the situation. If you want to snatch back the martial arts of your sect, that’s easy. You can find experts to spar with me, regardless of whether they’re from your sect.

As long as you win against me, not only will I return all the martial arts of your sect, but I’ll also hand over the martial arts of the other sects to you to deal with… Hmph, not only to you, but this also applies to the other sects. Just spread these words out. My promise will always stand!”

For the sake of his progress in becoming the number one in the world, he planned to use this method to attract the experts of the world. This way, he would not have to spend a lot of time traveling. Instead, he would wait for these sects to mobilize their connections and find experts to challenge him.

It saved time and effort, allowing him to sit at home.

With that, Zhou Jing did not wait for everyone from the Wu Mountain Sect to respond. He directly brought his companions down the mountain and left.

At this moment, everyone’s tense nerves finally relaxed. Many disciples’ legs went limp and they almost sat on the ground, looking like they had just survived a calamity.

“I’ve finally sent this demon away…”

Ding Shixiong muttered to himself.

An elder beside him suddenly burst into tears,

“Chen Feng actually wants to spread our sect’s martial arts throughout the world. My Wu Mountain Sect is finished! The heavens are blind to actually let such a murderer run rampant in the world!”

When everyone heard this, they gritted their teeth in pain.

In the past hundred years, the seniors of the sect had improved their martial arts generation after generation, allowing the Wu Mountain Sect to have a set of profound martial arts.

However, today, all the martial arts were leaked and would spread throughout the world. It was fine if Chen Feng passed it down to the martial artists, but he actually threatened to pass it down to all the bumpkins who were farmers…

Was this not trampling on their ancestors?!

With tears in his eyes, the elder suddenly turned to glare at Ding Shixiong and shouted, “Ding Shixiong! How can you be the sect master after betraying the sect?”

Ding Shixiong was stunned for a moment before he flew into a rage, “I endured the humiliation before agreeing to that murderer’s conditions. If not for me, this place would have long been filled with corpses. If anyone is wrong, it’s Shen Sanqiu, who has provoked a powerful enemy!”

“Bullsh*t. When Chen Feng asked you just now, you were afraid and refused to admit that you were the Sect Master. In that case, you can forget about being the Acting Sect Master!”

Many middle and higher-ups criticized Ding Shixiong and cursed excitedly, as if they had found a target to vent their anger on. At this juncture, there was actually internal strife.

Ding Shixiong was furious. “Why? Are you burning the bridge after crossing it? Then why didn’t you say so when Chen Feng was around?! Alright, alright, alright. Whoever wants to do this acting sect master can do it!”

With that, he turned around and left.

With the sect master’s exclusive ultimate technique gone, the sect would also decline after the martial arts were leaked. There was also the risk of Chen Feng coming looking for him again. He felt that this job was no longer attractive, the risk was greater than the benefits. This position had now become a hot potato. Even if there was no internal strife, he wanted to quit.

At the side, Qi Zhiyu secretly rejoiced that he had not been fighting for the position at that time. Otherwise, he would have been the unlucky one.

Seeing the internal strife among the core members of the sect, many disciples started to have other thoughts. They felt that the future of the sect was getting darker and darker, and they began to hesitate.

For a moment, the huge Wu Mountain Sect felt as if the monkeys had dispersed when a tree fell.

On the other side…

Zhou Jing and the others went down the mountain. After walking for a long time, they met Lin Song, who was waiting anxiously in an empty forest.

“Brother, you’re back! How’s the situation?”

Lin Song hurriedly came forward.

Zhou Jing glanced at him and did not answer. He casually said, “You didn’t truly want to join us in the first place. Since you want to part ways with us, I won’t blame you. From now on, we’ll be strangers. No matter if you can become the sect master or not, if the Wu Mountain Sect still provokes us in the future, I won’t show you mercy.”

“Brother, I…”

“Let’s go.”

Zhou Jing ignored him and strode forward.

The others, such as Guo Haishen, Fang Zhen, and the others, glared coldly at Lin Song. They knocked him away and followed Zhou Jing into the distance.

Lin Song was left standing alone by the side of the road, looking a little lonely.

…

In the next few days, Zhou Jing did not stop walking. He found the martial arts sects that had participated in the assassination and plundered their martial arts like he did with the Wu Mountain Sect.

Of course, there were also those who did not cooperate. He had killed a few times to make an example out of them. The remaining sects either did not dare to act rashly again or dispersed before he arrived.

As for the famous martial artists who had participated in the interception and luckily escaped, as long as they were found, they would be killed on the spot, not giving any chance to explain.

The Blue Lotus Sect’s Sect Master, Lord Yan Han, the Sea Whale Sect’s Sect Master, An Dafeng, the Sect Master of the Extreme Celestial Sect, Lu Xilin, and so on were all shattered by Zhou Jing. In the end, they did not manage to escape.

Under his scourge, half of the various sects in Jiang Chun were crippled.

It turned out that it was not that this fellow did not want to take revenge, but that he was only free now!

For a moment, the Jiangchun martial arts world was in a state of panic. The local sects were frightened out of their wits, and their disciples scattered.

After Zhou Jing plundered one martial art after another, he made a shocking move. He actually got someone to copy a large number of the manuals and scattered them everywhere. Even the villagers might pick them up.

His actions of publicizing the profound martial arts of these sects caused a violent commotion in the martial world.

Many people in the martial world had never heard of such a feat. In the current era where the sects were deeply rooted beliefs, such unorthodox behavior was simply unreasonable.

Ordinary wanderers and Green Forest outlaws who did not have the guidance of a master were naturally surprised and excited. They secretly felt that Chen Feng’s generosity gave them a chance to easily see profound martial arts in their lives. They did not have to jump off the cliff to change their fate.

However, to the sects in the martial world, Zhou Jing’s actions were no different from digging out their foundation.

Even the other martial arts sects that did not have any enmity with Chen Feng felt sorry for those sects. They were afraid that they would follow in their footsteps, so they became hostile and angrily rebuked this ridiculous act of wantonly spreading other martial arts. They directly said that this was breaking the rules of the martial arts world.

What happened in the Jiangchun martial world quickly spread, shocking the other large sects.

With a common enemy, the various sects directly gave Chen Feng a new title…

Chaotic World Demon!
