Tengo mountains-

Long Tao was currently proceeding in the depths of the mountain range. He wanted to get to the inheritance grounds as soon as possible. Most of his objectives in the Tengo mountains were finished. He collected all the herbs except one which he would be able to get his hands on the way to the inheritance grounds. The bandit strong-hold was wiped out and all the bodies related to the bounty were collected and would be deposited to get confirmation on the completion of the mission. The only thing remaining now was to approach the inheritance and get it done. It hasn't even been a month since the mission started. The bandit stronghold managed to make Long Tao quite rich and resourceful. He managed to complete around 40 mission (including the bounties on the heads of bandit leaders.), and hence was ahead of his game as of now. This gave him a good amount of time to get to the treasure land.

In between, there were many beasts who managed to interfere with Long Tao's travel and multiple fights broke out. He decided to clean up after every fight so that he would be leaving any trace of the path he had undertaken. He was taking every precaution to cover his passage. The next stop was going through the dwellings of some powerful beats and Long Tao didn't want to attract attention. So, he decided to cover his QI and covertly pass through these regions. Long Tao's plan was good enough to let him pass through 3-4 regions, but when he came to open patches, his luck seemed to have the better of him. The first attack arrived soon enough. this was a level 4 beats, The # horned rhino. The attack was swift and to the point and as Long Tao didn't want to indulge in the fight for a long time, he decided to end the fight with his strongest move.

The fight ended soon enough and Long Tao decided to cover the area with blood so as to attract more beast to this region and get on his way, untraceable. He did that and was on his way after taking the body of the horned rhino in. He followed the trail. Fortunately for him, there were many natural herbs of tier 3 pills on the way. Although these were not mentioned in the mission, these were still a big amount of fortunes for Long Tao. He absorbed then into the ring and then was on his way. The Tengo mountains was really a haven for natural resources. Long Tao managed to find the right trail and collected all the precious materials on the way. Finally, he managed to reach the region where the mark was present. Trying to uncover the secret passageway was going to be difficult when suddenly he felt something shaking and emitting power. He took out his storage space and the casket within, the slate was emitting light and shaking.

Bandit stronghold-

The Bandit strong-hold was on fire when suddenly a group of people appeared in front of it. The power of this group of people was as strong as the Jiao country's military line up. There were 4 Qi generals and multiple QI masters. They got the help signal from the member of the cult here. When they saw the fire outbreak, they instantly broke into the cave and went towards the region where the signal was originating from. Coming to the meeting room, they saw the girl lying on the floor, badly injured, and unconscious. The group of people immediately took her up and escaped the cave regions to another secret place. The girl was given treatment and 3 QI masters and 2 QI generals were busy infusing QI into her for rapid recovery. "We need to use that. We can't take risks. She is the one responsible for the mission. If she didn't get what she came for all of us will be punished."

The other members who rescued her agreed. They took out a pill and ingested it into the mouth of the girl. The pill started showing its effect. The potent medical power instantly healed the injury and started replenishing the Qi within her body at a rapid rate. This pill was a top tier 3 pill that was given to be used in an emergency situation. The girl woke up just to0 see a group of people with 4 at the front staring at her. "Who did this to you Liwen?". One of the members of the group asked. The girl sighed first and then told the whole tale of misfortune. "how can there be such a talented and powerful QI master around. He didn't even use his full power and you were beaten to near death. Did he take the treasure?". Liwen looked at them seriously." Tell me that you managed to find the location of the inheritance grounds.". The group confirmed it. Liwen sighed. "Not only ha she took the treasure case he managed to open it and obtain what is inside."

The group of people was shocked and angry at hearing this. It was their mission to enable Liwen to obtain the inheritance that was present here. How could they allow some outsiders to take the inheritance for himself? They would have to face capital punishment if they were unable to get the inheritance. The group immediately set out to the exact location that Long Tao was approaching. The two adversaries would be meeting. The girl just hoped that Long Tao would still be in process of opening the inheritance otherwise this chance would be gone forever. If Long Tao was able to get the inheritance inside, forget her group, even if they were ten times stronger, Long Tao would still wipe them out in no time. She was extremely nervous after getting to know the real strength of Long Tao. The group began to discuss counter-strategy to battle with him.

The depth of Tengo mountains-

Long Tao followed up in the direction where the vibrations were getting more and more and finally arrived at the bottom of a huge mountain. He thought that he might have to break into the mountains and tried to give it a strong punch, but not even a crack appeared. Long Tao was shocked by the resilience of the structure to be able to take one of his punches. He tried doing the same thing at different regions multiple times but still, no benefit was obtained. It was just then that he saw an engraving on the mountainside. He was surprised upon seeing it. It was of the same shape as the seal. He took it and kept it on the engraving. The mountain began to shake as a passageway appeared. Long Tao took the seal and proceeded inwards. The passageway leads him to an old gate. Looking at the top and engraving was present "Heaven Cleaver sect". What arrogance to portray oneself to be able to cleave the heavens.

Long Tao entered the mansion. The first thing he saw was a garden filled with ethereal tress. These trees looked unreal to him and no QI was coming out o them. The keeper suddenly got agitated." Elemental fruits, even space fruit, and fruits of strength. Boy, you stroked it rich. You need to take control of the mansion. If my assumptions are correct, this mansion is a treasure just like Crimson Lord artifact. Enter the pavilion fast. Long Tao entered the pavilion and just as he opened the door, his body was pulled in shutting the door behind him. Long Tao appeared in a different space, which was vast." Welcome to the Heaven Cleaver sect dome. You must be the next challenger for the position of the sect inheritor. You will now be transported to the first trial, The path of swords. If you are able to overcome it, you will be given a reward according to your merit level."

Outside the pathway-

A group of people arrived just now. They couldn't find the passage, but the girl was sure that Long Tao had already opened it up. Hence, she continued the search until she finally reached the feet of the mountain. The group saw the passage. One of them seemed to have noticed something, but they continue to search around. "I remember it now; this passage was not present when I came here previously. This should be the passage to the inheritance ground of that power. We need to follow this path. The group arrived quite late, as Long Tao was already on the completion side of the first level. They saw the engraving written on the top "Heaven Clever sect". The girl was elated. Long Tao actually managed to find the location of the inheritance ground. She needed to rush, otherwise, she won't be able to get her hands on the inheritance. The group proceeded inside, just to arrive at the garden. Seeing the tree, greed started appearing in many people's eyes and they tried to snatch it. The restriction played out, and around half the people of the group were wiped out by now. These were some dangerous grounds.
