What a joke.

Nowadays, that Zhou Ziming is even more of a monster than actual monsters.

To them, Zheng Tianyuan was already incredibly outrageous.

Yet such an outrageous person had his Dao Heart shattered by Zhou Ziming's beating.

If he went, it would be nothing but seeking death.

The Six-Winged Centipede fled, and Qiao Qingwan did not give chase.

She only looked in the direction of Haining Prefecture, her lips pursed involuntarily.

She prided herself on being a Genius as well.

But Qiao Qingwan felt that even if she exerted all her strength, she would at most be at the level of that Black-Robed Man.

Yet such strength was still far from enough in front of Zhou Ziming.

Qiao Qingwan felt somewhat demoralized.

However, in one aspect, she shared the same sentiment as the Black-Robed Man.

The Zhou Ziming in her memories was also very powerful.

But compared to the current Zhou Ziming...

Even if the Zhou Ziming from her memories faced off against the current one, the current Zhou Ziming would likely slap him twice until his eyes regained their clarity.

“No, I must Cultivate properly!”

Thinking this,

Qiao Qingwan returned directly home, preparing to Cultivate like a madwoman.

Moreover, this time, Qiao Qingwan decided to stay in secluded meditation until she reached the Void Tempering stage before coming out again.

As for Zhou Ziming's performance,

Qiao Qingwan could only say...

She loved him even more.

Of course, while some were delighted, many others felt their scalps go numb.

For instance, those Young Misses of various families who had awakened their memories.

They had also witnessed the scene of Zhou Ziming slaughtering everyone in Haining Prefecture.

And the people Zhou Ziming killed were the very ones they had sent.

Some were furious.

“Why is he different? Why is he even more powerful than in my memories?!”

Did these people regret it?

They didn't really regret it; all they felt was resentment and indignation.

“I only wanted to change my own fate, what did I do wrong?”

“Why should I be with such a morally bankrupt person, or even be part of his harem?!”

These were their truest thoughts.

Some women even had sinister looks on their faces.

“Find a way to get Zhou Ziming to Yangjiang Prefecture. Once he enters Yangjiang Prefecture, it will be the day he dies!”

And someone was already seeing to this matter.

Meanwhile, over at the Sun Family—

Sun Xueling received the news about Zhou Ziming, and she was now completely silent.

She hadn't expected Zhou Ziming to be so powerful.

In fact, this Zhou Ziming and the one in her memories were entirely different people.

Sun Xueling had an indescribable feeling in her heart.

She didn't want to admit that her previous thoughts and actions were wrong.

But in reality, Sun Tianming's approach currently seemed to be the correct one.

This feeling made Sun Xueling very uncomfortable.

Matriarch Sun also arrived at Sun Xueling's place at this time, looking full of worry.

Sun Xueling was somewhat puzzled.

“Mother, what's the matter with you?”

Matriarch Sun sighed.

“I just asked Tianming if Zhou Ziming has a Dao Companion!”

“But as it turns out, the man has no Dao Companion at all. Even that girl from the Qiao Family has been showing interest, and Zhou Ziming hasn't agreed!”

“Daughter, this is completely different from your so-called harem!”

Sun Xueling was stunned for a moment.

“Huh? He has no Dao Companion? Not even one?”

Matriarch Sun nodded.

Sun Xueling was confused.

“Mother, you're this distressed just because of this?”

Matriarch Sun nodded.

“I originally thought that since our Sun Family is an investor in Zhou Ziming anyway, it would be best if I invested a daughter as well. Nothing is better than having a peerless Prodigy become Family!”

“But then I thought, even the Qiao Family girl hasn't confirmed a relationship with Zhou Ziming. As for you, he'd probably look down on you even more!”

Sun Xueling was so angry she felt sick.

“Mother, what are you saying? Besides, it's better if he looks down on me. If it weren't for my second brother, I would have sent people to kill him too!”

Matriarch Sun patted her chest at this.

“Thank goodness your second brother stopped you!”

Sun Xueling was too angry to speak.

It was as if she was being told over and over again how outrageously wrong she was.

“I'm tired, I'm going back to rest!”

After saying that, Sun Xueling left.

Matriarch Sun looked at Sun Xueling's departing back and chuckled.

“There will come a time when you'll cry!”

With that, she also left... On Demon Suppressing Peak of the Huan Ling Sect.

Sun Tianming looked at the current state of Demon Suppressing Peak, somewhat speechless.

“Wait a minute, I remember my Demon Suppressing Peak had over two thousand Disciples before? How is it that after one trip out and back, my Demon Suppressing Peak now has six thousand Disciples?”

“When others go to a Secret Realm, the number of people who return gets smaller and smaller! How did we come back with three times as many people?”

After speaking, Sun Tianming looked at Zhou Ziming.

Zhou Ziming: “???”

“Why are you looking at me? How should I know?”

Sun Tianming rolled his eyes.

“You don't know? Why don't you look at their identity tokens? The front says Demon Suppressing Peak, and the back has the words 'Dao Gate'!”

Zhou Ziming: “...”

He just wanted to say that this really had nothing to do with him.

But for a moment, he didn't know how to explain.

After thinking about it, Zhou Ziming could only say: “Having many Disciples, isn't that a sign of prosperity? What are you so annoyed about?”

Sun Tianming took a deep breath.

“Easy for you to say, but I've always been the one paying to support Demon Suppressing Peak. With you suddenly bringing in so many people, do you know how big the expenses will be?”

Hearing this, Zhou Ziming actually laughed.

“Let's just say, these Dao Gate Disciples are actually richer than you!”

Sun Tianming: “???”

Zhou Ziming said with a smile: “Take a closer look!”

With doubt in his mind, Sun Tianming's Divine Sense swept across Demon Suppressing Peak.

Immediately after, Sun Tianming was stunned.

Because the Dao Gate—ptui, the Demon Suppressing Peak Disciples—each now had a Magic Treasure in hand.

Some had even made beds out of Spirit Stones.

Not only that.

Sun Tianming even saw some Disciples who were cultivating eating Medicinal Pills like they were candy.

Sun Tianming was dumbfounded.

“How are they so rich?”

Zhou Ziming then explained the benefits of the Heavenly Demon.

Sun Tianming's eyes glazed over as he listened.

Then, Sun Tianming's eyes also began to glow.

“The Heavenly Demon actually hides such properties? Good heavens, if this news gets out, I'm afraid the Heavenly Demon Clan will face extermination, or even be captured and raised like livestock!”

Zhou Ziming was somewhat puzzled.

“You didn't know about the effects of the Heavenly Demon before? And you're a member of a great Family, yet you didn't know either?”

Sun Tianming shook his head.

“I didn't. But come to think of it, this is likely something only some truly powerful figures know, or even if someone knows, they wouldn't dare to hunt the Heavenly Demon!”

“After all, the Heavenly Demon Clan is considered on par with the Sanctuary!”

Zhou Ziming became curious.

“I often hear about the Sanctuary. What kind of power is it exactly?”

Sun Tianming explained patiently.

“The Sanctuary is a branch under the Star Sea Holy Land, acting as the inspectors for the entire Northern Continent!”

“The Sanctuary is an existence in the Northern Continent that is below one but above ten thousand, and the Heavenly Demon Palace is on par with it. You tell me if that's powerful or not!”

“As for the Star Sea Holy Land, you can understand it as the Dominator of the entire Northern Continent.”

“Most of the time, the Sanctuary is also used by the Star Sea Holy Land as a department for relaying orders!”

As they were speaking, a Sanctuary Disciple came to the door.

“Who is Zhou Ziming?”

Zhou Ziming said unhurriedly: “I am!”

The Sanctuary Disciple nodded: “Good, come with us!”

Zhou Ziming: “???”
