"Yes." The young girl with the elegant face nodded.
When Ouyang Zhengde saw the girl nod her head, he became excited for a good while. The girl in front of him was his granddaughter, Ouyang Feier.
"Feier, are you still not willing to say what exactly happened the last time you left the Sect? I'm your grandpa... I'll keep it a secret for you. " Ouyang Zhengde asked.
Originally, in Ouyang Feier's body, because of some special reason, an incomparably enormous power was sealed, and if it was unable to be dissolved, it might even be a threat to Ouyang Feier's life. Ouyang Zhengde used many methods, but to no avail, because of this matter, he had always deeply blamed himself for his incompetence. A few months ago, Ouyang Feier had sneaked out of the Sect, but upon returning, he already had a way to dispel the power that left him helpless, and his cultivation had advanced by leaps and bounds.
Ouyang Zhengde asked many times, but still did not get an answer, hence he was extremely curious.
Ouyang Feier recalled Lin Hao's warning, that this matter was not to be mentioned to anyone, even if it was her grandfather, she would absolutely not tell anyone. Thus, she shook her head, and muttered to herself: "Grandfather, you don't need to ask, this is my secret!"
Seeing that Ouyang Zhengde still wanted to continue asking, Ouyang Feier quickly changed the topic, and said: "Grandfather, I have been in closed door cultivation for some time, has anything interesting happened recently within my Sect?"
Ouyang Zhengde lovingly rubbed his granddaughter's head and said: "Alright, alright, let me think. Grandfather will not ask you about this in the future. As for the interesting thing that happened recently in the Sect, let me think … Oh, that's right, a kid called Lin Hao has appeared in North Cold Branch recently, and is in the limelight right now … "
Ouyang Zhengde was talking about Lin Hao's matter when he suddenly realised, his granddaughter's expression became extremely excited, and he asked: "Feier, what happened to you?"
Ouyang Feier anxiously said: "I'm fine, grandfather, I've been in closed door cultivation for so long, I'm bored to death, I'll go out and take a stroll."
With that, she ran off.
After a while, Ouyang Feier ran over to North Cold Branch and inquired about Lin Hao's residence. She found out that Lin Hao was not there and asked some people who knew that Lin Hao had gone out to complete a mission, hence he could only return to Functional Hall dejectedly.

Inside a large mountain with a complicated terrain, Lin Hao was chasing after a Third Rank Demonic Beast and lightning marten at an extremely fast speed.
Even though this lightning marten was a Third Rank, it was known for its speed and its fighting strength was the weakest among them. With Lin Hao's current strength, it was easy to deal with it.
After chasing for a while, Lin Hao had already caught up to the lightning marten. Slashing out his sword, under the amplification of the Wind Sword Intent, the Sword Qi pierced into the lightning marten's body with incredible speed. The lightning marten fell to the ground, whimpered, and lost its life force.
Lin Hao stepped forward, and with a slash of the sword, he retrieved a Demon Core, and threw it into his storage ring.
This place, was the Meteor Demon Mountain Range.
When he was in the Greencloud City, Lin Hao had already entered the Meteor Demon Mountain Range, but in a different direction at that time.
A few days ago, after accepting a mission, Lin Hao spent three days worth of time to hurry over to Meteor Demon Mountain Range. Another two days had passed now, and he had already collected six's worth of Demon Core.
The mission this time around did not restrict him from collecting any type of Demon Core, nor did he have any other requirements. As long as he obtained points after completing the mission, he would be able to exchange them for the spirit herbs he required.
With his powerful Spiritual Force and his understanding of Demonic Beast, it was easy to find Demonic Beast with weaker fighting strength. After another day and a half, he had already collected all ten of the Third Rank's Demon Core and prepared to return to the Freezing Sky Sect.
They had not gone far when they suddenly heard the sounds of a battle not too far away. Thus, they followed the sounds and took a look.
On the flat ground beside a lake, several young men were lying down. All of their faces were black, their lips were purple, it was obvious that they had been poisoned, and Lin Hao could see clearly from the dark, that one of them was actually the core disciple who had the most contact with him, Ning Feng.
Presumably, Ning Feng and the others were the ones who formed the party to complete the mission, and then encountered some trouble.
Ning Feng and his three companions laid on the ground due to the poison. In front of them, a skinny man dressed in black who had a vicious expression let out a sneer, "So what if you are a disciple of Freezing Sky Sect? You don't have a body full of cultivation, but in front of my Sky Poison Hand, you still don't have the strength to resist!"
"Ning Feng, right? A year ago, you almost killed me, but you never would have thought that today, it would fall into my hands!"
"Hmph, I hate it when you Sect disciples always have a face of righteousness!"
"I've recently come up with a few new poisons, and coincidentally still haven't taken out any warriors from the Elemental Core Stage to test them out yet. Tsk tsk, who do you think I should start with?"
"Pfft!" Ning Feng's body trembled, he spat out a mouthful of black blood and shouted weakly: "This is a grudge between you and I, it has nothing to do with my junior brothers.
"Hahaha, it's already this late, yet you still have such a dignified and righteous appearance. Is it really that annoying? But, why should I agree to that? The current you doesn't even have the qualifications to negotiate with me! "
"Since you are so worried about your junior brothers, then I will start with them. I will let you personally see them suffer endless torments in front of you."
The Sky Poison Hand sneered repeatedly. Immediately, it suddenly extended its hand and a claw seal grabbed at a person lying on the ground. It was intended to lift him in its hand and torture him.
However, the moment the claw imprint was formed, it was suddenly sliced into pieces by a Sword Qi that was shooting towards him.
"Who is it!" The Sky Poison Hand shouted coldly and looked in the direction the Sword Qi came from.
Lin Hao also could no longer hide himself, with a leap, he appeared between Ning Feng and the others with the Sky Poison Hand.
"Junior-Apprentice Brother Lin." Ning Feng immediately shouted out: "Junior-Apprentice Brother Lin, quickly leave this place!"
It was clear that Ning Feng was worried about Lin Hao getting into trouble. They had already fallen for sure, they could not implicate Lin Hao anymore.
Sky Poison Hand sneered: "Since you've come, don't even think about leaving. It looks like you have quite a good relationship with this Ning Feng as well. Today, you two will properly enjoy the power of my Sky Poison Hand."
Lin Hao did not bother with the Sky Poison Hand. Instead, he replied Ning Feng and said, "Senior Brother Ning, don't worry.
Since Lin Hao had encountered this matter, he naturally would not ignore it.
"You'll handle it? I really want to see how you are going to deal with this! " The Sky Poison Hand roared and waved its arm. Immediately, a finger-sized round ball flew out from its sleeve.
Lin Hao casually took out a Sword Qi and cut open the round pellet. A mass of dark green mist burst out, as if it had a mind of its own, and rushed towards Lin Hao.
