My Master Knows It All

Chapter 1414: Chapter 337

Zhang Zirong was feeling deeply troubled. He truly couldn’t understand what madness had struck Uncle Luo Zhen. It had been so long since Luo Zhen had lost to Cao Zhen, and yet Luo Zhen brought it up again—and in front of so many people! Worse still, he accused the Dragon Chant Sect of favoring Cao Zhen. Wasn’t this just giving outsiders a good laugh at the Dragon Chant Sect’s expense?

“Get inside now!” Zhang Zirong exuded a commanding aura, fixing Luo Zhen with a cold stare. “This matter will be investigated by our Dragon Chant Sect when we return!”

Luo Zhen, however, wasn’t satisfied and shouted, “What’s left to investigate? If the pills he refined back then weren’t flawed, his mana would have long since recovered to the Golden Core Period Limit, not merely approaching it as he is now.”

“I said, we’ll investigate after returning!” Zhang Zirong’s face turned completely frozen, and he turned to his side with a frosty tone. “Escort Uncle Luo Zhen back.”

As soon as his words fell, two figures instantly flew forward, landing beside Luo Zhen.

Luo Zhen looked at the two individuals, anger immediately flashing across his face. He roared furiously, “And you say there’s no favoritism for Cao Zhen?! Now you’re forcibly trying to send me back—if this isn’t favoritism, what is? No need for any of you to act; I’ll leave on my own!”

With a dramatic sweep of his sleeves, Luo Zhen stormed off toward the Dragon Chant Sect, wrath plastered across his face.

While flying, he secretly transmitted a voice message to Cao Zhen: “I have made a huge sacrifice this time. When we return, the Sect Hierarch is bound to punish me severely. Would you consider giving me an extra share?”

Cao Zhen didn’t respond to Luo Zhen but glared at him with fury and said, “Unbelievable. You lost fair and square that day—accept the loss! And now you’re tangled in this again?”

As he spoke, the aura around him completely recovered, his face returning to a healthy flush instead of the pale complexion he had before.

In the distance, the members of Void Breaking Sect and Soul Breaking Demonic Sect immediately noticed the change in Cao Zhen.

“Look at him—does this look like someone who’s injured?”

“So it was all an act; he wanted to fool us!”

“Now that Luo Zhen exposed him, he’s simply stopped pretending!”

Cao Zhen ignored Luo Zhen and turned his gaze toward the crowd from Void Breaking Sect and Soul Breaking Demonic Sect, loudly provoking them: “Didn’t you say you wouldn’t take advantage of my injuries and wouldn’t fight me? There’s no need for that courtesy—I’m entirely unharmed. You two factions can send someone over to face me.”

“Or perhaps if you can’t decide who should go first, it doesn’t matter—just come at me together.”

As his words echoed, the members of Void Breaking Sect and Soul Breaking Demonic Sect remained silent. Fight? What was there to fight? Cao Zhen, with a physical body already at the Golden Core Period Limit and mana near that level, wouldn’t be an opponent anyone from the Golden Core Stage could contend with—much less them.

Two of their members? Even three wouldn’t be enough to face him.

Seeing the opponents still hesitant to strike, Cao Zhen continued to taunt, “Didn’t you promise to settle the score here today? Since none of you act, I’ll assume you’re surrendering.”

The members of Void Breaking Sect and Soul Breaking Demonic Sect grew instantly frantic and shouted, “We haven’t fought yet—why would we surrender?”

“Just now, our Sect Hierarch sent word through the sect. This matter concerns the face of our great faction—it cannot be decided by him alone. When the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth ends, experts from the Earth Immortal Realm will visit your Hundred Peaks Sect to properly settle this dispute. We’re leaving!”

With those words, the two factions turned and departed.

Watching them retreat, Cao Zhen couldn’t help sneering, “So this is the so-called great faction? You make promises for today, but when you see my physical body has reached the Golden Core Period Limit, you lack the courage to act.

Why? In the Reversal Mini Epoch Period, you dare not provoke our Hundred Peaks Sect, so now you’re trying to intimidate me with the experts asleep in your grand faction? You think we don’t have powerful figures of our own? We—”

Cao Zhen suddenly paused mid-sentence, realizing he might have spoken too much in his excitement. In truth, the Hundred Peaks Sect didn’t seem to have any truly exceptional geniuses. If they had someone of that caliber, the Eastern Wasteland would have long been suppressed, and instead, all the Immortal Sects here were under the thumb of the Grand Preceptor.

The Grand Preceptor…

Right, he could brag about the Grand Preceptor.

Cao Zhen quickly adjusted and said in a loud voice, “You all believe that the strongest figure of the current Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth is Xiang Ziyu, claiming him to be the invincible existence beneath the Earth Immortal. But what you don’t understand is that, here in the Eastern Wasteland, within the Hundred Peaks Sect’s Guardian Immortal Imperial Dynasty, there exists another: the Grand Preceptor.

The Grand Preceptor—he is the truly invincible existence beneath the Earth Immortal. And let me tell you, the Grand Preceptor has long since fallen into slumber. Even at realms above the Earth Immortal, the Grand Preceptor still reigns supreme. When the Grand Preceptor awakens, there’ll be no need for you to trouble our Hundred Peaks Sect—he’ll come to find you first.”

In truth, he had no idea what cultivation the Grand Preceptor had achieved. Regardless, in moments like this, it was better to boast than face reality.

Consider this: the Grand Preceptor alone could suppress the entire Eastern Wasteland, where even the branch divisions of Void Breaking Sect and Weeping Blood Demon Sect failed to challenge him. Surely, the Grand Preceptor must be an extraordinarily powerful being.

“Invincible above the Earth Immortal? Truly laughable.”

As Cao Zhen’s voice fell, laughter burst out from the crowd nearby.

“Invincible above the Earth Immortal? Do you even know how many realms exist above the Earth Immortal? Do you know how vast the Eastern Province truly is? Do you understand how many experts lie dormant within it?”

“You’re arrogant now simply because it’s the Minor Era of Inversion of Heaven and Earth. When this era comes to an end, do you think the people of the Eastern Wasteland can continue their arrogance? Such narrow views—living in a well and merely gazing at…”
