The acquaintance Zhang Ze had seen—the Inner Sect’s disgrace mentioned by the Pavilion Master—was none other than Qiao Lezhi.
That Senior Sister Ice Cream who had met Zhang Ze once.
That slack-off fanatic who slept while On Duty.
At this Moment, Young Lady Qiao Lezhi was swinging a black Door Panel, chasing and beating another Golden Core Stage Deputy Flotilla Leader.
Yang Guo’s Heavy Iron Sword was a heavy sword without an edge, but at least it was still sword-shaped.
Xiao Yan’s Mysterious Heavy Ruler could ultimately be considered a Greatsword.
But the Door Panel in Qiao Lezhi’s hands was eight units long, six units wide, and three units thick, with the same proportions as the cover of a certain novel.
When swung, it created a fierce gale, keeping both gods and ghosts at bay, and had absolutely no technique to it.
The other Inner disciples would occasionally coordinate with one another, but Qiao Lezhi did not have a single teammate by her side.
She never held back or moderated her strength, and even her teammates could not withstand taking a hit from this thing.
But at this Moment, the most aggrieved person was still the Deputy Flotilla Leader being chased and beaten by Qiao Lezhi.
Because this Deputy Flotilla Leader had chosen a very unusual path.
While the other Cultivators of the Spirit Snake Flotilla were studying large-scale poison sprays and Twin Snake Clones,
he was practicing Body Cultivation techniques, tempering his snake hands to the extreme.
If he encountered an Ordinary Golden Core Sword Cultivator, he would usually endure two sword strikes, then close in and use his snake hands to wrap around the sword and strike directly at the Enemy’s vital points.
In close combat, once bitten by his snake hands, one would either die or suffer a severe reduction in Strength.
But now he had encountered Qiao Lezhi, and the Door Panel in Senior Sister Ice Cream’s hands.
This Deputy Flotilla Leader truly did not know how to close in, nor how to make his snake hands circle around and entangle this Door Panel.
His poison was not very useful either.
A fierce gale howled around Qiao Lezhi, and no matter how much poison there was, it would be blown into nothing.
The Deputy Flotilla Leader had not failed to try enduring a blow head-on.
But after trying it, his Right Hand was crippled.
The bones inside had shattered into seven or eight pieces.
Against a normal Golden Core Cultivator, his body would probably have been broken into seven or eight pieces as well.
Naturally, the Deputy Flotilla Leader had also tried to flee.
But every time he was about to escape the Valley, Li Guanqi’s Black Sword would force him back.
Moreover, Elder Li took great pleasure in not killing him, merely forcing him back into the Valley.
A true man could be killed but not humiliated. Just as he was about to use Self-detonation for Mutual Destruction, he saw his buddy have his Poison Pill crushed by a Fatty.
Then a lightning sword shattered his head.
The Fatty was now looking at him with a beaming smile.
The Deputy Flotilla Leader shuddered.
Because of that momentary distraction, he took another vicious blow from Qiao Lezhi, and his Kidneys were nearly knocked out of him.
“Get back here!”
“You damned Demonic Path bastards!”
“I was sleeping so peacefully, and you just had to disturb my sweet dreams.”
“Being On Duty is already annoying enough.”
“This isn’t over until I smack you into a rubber ball.”
Perhaps because it was too Embarrassing, Zheng Yi muted the sound from the Scene in the mirror.
“Isn’t Senior Sister pretty impressive?”
Zhang Ze gave an awkward laugh.
“This Child Qiao Lezhi still hasn’t finished learning even the most basic Sword Treading Qing He,” Zheng Yi said.
“Then how did Senior Sister enter the Inner Sect?” Zhang Ze asked cautiously.
“Because although she knows nothing, she is still Invincible Among Peers. And that Door Panel, sigh...” Zheng Yi let out a long sigh.
Zhang Ze watched the silent drama in the mirror, watched Qiao Lezhi beat the Demonic Cultivator into a rubber ball, and asked his final question about her.
“With Senior Sister’s strength and physique, why didn’t she originally join the Beast Taming Sect and Medicine King Valley, which specialize in Body Refining?”
Zheng Yi remained Silent for A long time.
“I don’t know.”
Zhang Ze felt that he should change the subject.
The Pavilion Master’s Dharma Image had already faded until it was almost invisible.
If they continued talking a little longer, he would probably disappear.
They still needed to discuss something useful.
“Pavilion Master, you seemed quite practiced when you crushed that long-worm Daoist Priest just Now.”
“Have you encountered him before?”
Zheng Yi gave a Shake Head. “Not exactly.”
“This is the fifth Spirit Snake Daoist I have slain.”
“Every Flotilla Leader under the Hundred Demon Sect shares the same name in each generation.”
“Unless the Hundred Demon Sect Main Headquarters is found and the Demon Venerable is slain,”
“the Spirit Snake Flotilla will return somewhere within a hundred years at most, or several decades at least.”
Zhang Ze looked at the headless Corpse of the Spirit Snake Daoist and asked,
“Whether Or Not one merely asks for the location of the Demon Sect, he will use Self-detonation?”
Zheng Yi nodded.
“That is the troublesome part.”
“Even if the Sect Master takes action, it is useless.”
Zhang Ze’s Eyes darted around. He opened the System and swept through the Exchange List.
Seeing Zhang Ze’s strange expression, Zheng Yi asked curiously,
“What? Do you have another bad idea, boy?”
“How could it be a bad idea? All my ideas are good ideas.”
Zhang Ze held his Chin and Thought for a while, then gave a Shake Head.
“I’m only saying it casually. You can just listen casually.”
“Oh? What are you going to say?” Zheng Yi asked, somewhat curious.
“This Disciple was wondering whether we should find an opportunity to blow up the Hundred Demon Sect Main Headquarters as well.”
Zheng Yi’s Dharma Image sat upright, Staring at Zhang Ze for A Long Time before breaking into laughter.
“I think that will work. Remember to count me in when the time comes.”
“Then it’s settled, Pavilion Master.” Zhang Ze Pat his Clothes clean and said with clasped hands.
“Rest here for now. I’m going for a stroll.”
Zheng Yi waved his hand, allowing Zhang Ze to do as he pleased.
Not long after Zhang Ze left the Dungeon, Zheng Yi’s Dharma Image also Dissipated into the air.
Lin Feng had not said a single word from beginning to end. He had merely listened.
After these past few days, he had long since grown accustomed to Zhang Ze’s astonishing remarks.
He had summarized a rule: whenever Zhang Ze spoke with a cheeky grin, whatever he said was definitely serious.
Once he spoke to you with a solemn expression, someone was definitely about to suffer.
Lin Feng narrowed his eyes, thinking about Zhang Ze’s words and this Demonic Cave that had been blasted into ruins.
He suddenly realized that the experiences he had once been proud of were nothing more than childish play.
“I still have to learn from Senior Brother Zhang.”
“Seven hundred li from here, I remember there is also a Blood Lion Helm.”
Zhang Ze walked through the underground passage. Looking at the System Prompt before him, he felt most of the pent-up frustration in his chest dissipate.

Zhang Ze was stunned for a moment, feeling that the System had stopped speaking like a normal person.
Zhang Ze wanted to look at a preview before deciding, but the System was very Sly and displayed a Box before him.
A Box locked tightly shut.
Zhang Ze recalled a certain Box that had not yet been opened before his transmigration.
The great god could choose not to open it.
But he could not.
He could not resist.
So Zhang Ze chose that Box.
Zhang Ze slipped into a Stone Chamber that was still fairly intact and kicked the miscellaneous objects on the floor aside.
He took the Box out of the System.
When a Box decided that it wanted to be opened, its Appearance was no longer important.
What mattered was what lay inside.
Fortunately, the Box did not produce the tired joke of the River God Grandfather’s Gold, silver, copper, and sword treasures.
But Zhang Ze still had to say,
“You call these things swords?”
