Two days later.
A flying shuttle broke through the clouds and flew out of the mountain gate of the Destroying Sect, heading northwest.
On the shuttle, Lin Suqing was full of worry. In her hands, she held a package containing bottles and jars. Yang Wudi and the others sitting beside her were also restless.
They had just received news that their sect master was seriously injured.
They heard that their sect master, along with Ji Mo, the young master of the Ji family, and Ling Xiaolan, the current saintess of the Mysterious Female Sect, had a "battle" with Lin Qi, the young master of the Lin family, in front of the Emperor in the Renhuang Pavilion. They naturally heard about it.
Not only did they hear about it, but they were also surprised by the wide range of their sect master's friendships.
How did they get acquainted, cough.
How did they even meet?
Of course, the sect master and the other three people were punished by the Renhuang Pavilion and sent to the military camp for half a year. But in their eyes, this was not considered a punishment at all.
Instead, because of the influence of the Ji family and the Mysterious Female Sect, their sect's ranking in the Hundred Great Demon Sects rose from seventy-sixth to sixty-fourth!
During the recent wave of savage beasts at the border, Yang Wudi, Zhang Mushi, Fang Renye, and Feng Tian were not sent to the border, but stayed at the sect as the sect master's guards.
Today, the Renhuang Pavilion sent someone to ask Lin Suqing to go to a military camp in the northwest to heal Master Wuwang's injuries. Yang Wudi and the others were sent by the Great Elder to accompany and protect her.
"How...how did he get injured?"
Lin Suqing asked softly, looking at the female immortal who came to pick her up at the sect.
The female immortal hummed a few times and smiled apologetically at Lin Suqing, explaining, "Friend, don't worry. It shouldn't be a serious injury, but the condition is a bit strange. I don't know the specifics."
Lin Suqing asked again, "Did he get injured anywhere?"
"The strangest thing is that there are no injuries."
The female immortal glanced around and transmitted her voice, "This matter is a secret of the Renhuang Pavilion. Your sect master has made great contributions this time. He saved more than two thousand cultivators from the hands of the Evil God and killed countless savage beasts."
"His contributions are not important," Lin Suqing bit her lip, "I'm just worried about his injuries."
"He really has no injuries," the female immortal continued to transmit her voice, "The Pavilion Master personally diagnosed him and said that he is completely fine. Others should not casually diagnose his pulse."
But since they returned, he woke up three times and then fell into a coma for no reason.
Until the last time, when he opened his eyes and shouted at the person beside him—Suqing, calling for Lin Suqing to come, I was ordered to come and find the fairy."
"Fell into a coma for no reason?"
Lin Suqing blinked her eyes, "Hasn't there always been a maid by the young master's side?"
"There are four maids from the Lin family taking turns to take care of him," the female immortal said, "Friend, don't worry. The young master of the Lin family respects your sect master as his teacher. He specially called those four maids to take care of your sect master day and night."
Lin Suqing:...
Then there's nothing to worry about.
She thought her young master was seriously injured and on the verge of death, but it turns out he just couldn't wake up from the pile of powder!
It really made people worry for nothing. The young master is enjoying twelve hours of uninterrupted service in the military camp.
"Hmph."
The female immortal asked, "Friend, what's wrong?"
"Ah, nothing," Lin Suqing sighed softly, wiped away her tears, and said sadly, "My young master has a hidden illness. I have been treating him since he was young. I'm sorry for the trouble."
The female immortal blinked and smiled, saying, "It's nothing, it's nothing. I'm glad I can help your sect master."
As the flying shuttle traveled, when the sun was setting in the west, it broke into a large array in a round-top military camp and entered the military camp numbered Yichou.
Because half of the cultivators were transferred to the northern border for support, this place seemed a bit empty.
The flying shuttle landed directly in the courtyard in the center without stopping. Lin Suqing jumped off the shuttle from the shuttle door and headed towards the courtyard.
Figures immediately surrounded the courtyard, and the two men wrapped in coarse cloth like zongzi also jumped over.
"Miss Lin!"
"Quick, Suqing girl! Master Wuwang is inside!"
Lin Suqing nodded and gestured for others not to enter for the time being. She went straight into the house, driving out the four maids and several Renhuang Pavilion guards.
A Golden Elixir cultivator directly drove away several immortals. It felt quite accomplished.
Then, she had someone activate the formation in the room, and she walked to Wu Wang's bed with her hands behind her back. She originally wanted to wake up her young master directly, but then she suddenly realized...
"If I easily wake up the young master, won't it expose his strange illness?"
Lin Suqing pondered for a moment and immediately came up with an idea. She bent her legs and knelt beside the bed, closed her eyes, focused her mind, and recited a soul-summoning scripture on the spot.
Then, she recalled her past in the Gentle Breeze Gazing Moon Sect and remembered the experiences of going out to perform rituals to earn some wealth to support her junior brothers and sisters. She took out a sword and jumped around like she used to.
After a while, Lin Suqing finally picked up a teacup and, when no one was paying attention, splashed cold tea on Wu Wang's face.
Wu Wang's eyes widened, and he sat up straight, looking around warily. When he saw Lin Suqing's mischievous face, he finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Indeed, those maids were much more difficult to deal with than the Evil God.
"Young master!"Lin Suqing bounced to the edge of the bed and handed over a clean handkerchief. "How are you feeling?"
Wu Wang quickly put on two layers of ice crystal film and said with annoyance, "I'm fine. I made you run for nothing. If there's nothing else, you should stay by my side more often."
"Hehe, now you know the benefits of having me by your side," Lin Suqing pointed to the outside of the door. "Many people are waiting for you to wake up, Young Master."
"Okay," Wu Wang stood up and stretched, feeling full of energy. He took a look inside himself and found that there was nothing unusual except that his cultivation was about to break through.
He opened the door and saw familiar and unfamiliar faces, all with warm smiles.
Ling Xiaolan let out a sigh of relief and said, "It's good that you're okay, Wu Wang."
Huh, she called me "brother" again?
Wu Wang felt a bit puzzled, but he didn't dwell on such trivial matters. He asked, "Has the Lord of Renhuang Pavilion left?"
Xu Mu replied, "The border war cannot be delayed. The Lord went to the North Wilderness yesterday. There are dozens of patrol immortals searching around here."
Wu Wang suddenly felt a bit regretful.
Who should he reimburse for those crystal balls of his Star Thunder Art?
He then asked Ling Xiaolan, "Did you give the information you obtained from the interrogation to Renhuang Pavilion?"
"Of course I did," Ling Xiaolan said. "They even rewarded me for it."
An immortal from Renhuang Pavilion immediately said, "Based on the information provided by Fairy Ling, we have eliminated six strongholds of the Ten Calamities Palace. We defeated them easily!"
Wu Wang:...
They just gave away the intelligence? Doesn't that mean he doesn't even have the qualification to negotiate with Renhuang Pavilion?
Why is this fairy so straightforward?
Xu Mu continued, "Now that the border war has started, Renhuang Pavilion's resources and wealth are all being used to support the border. So the rewards we received this time are just verbal commendations."
Wu Wang took a few steps back, feeling difficulty in breathing. He turned around and found a wooden chair to sit on, sighing deeply.
He actually had a disadvantage!
"What's wrong, Wu Wang?" Ji Mo, who was standing on one foot, expressed concern with his eyes exposed from the linen cloth.
"It's nothing. Let me be alone for a while. We can drink and chat later. I consumed too much divine consciousness before," Wu Wang waved his hand, and the immortals bid farewell and left.
Xu Mu specifically transmitted his voice forward, saying that the situation of the previous battle had been prohibited from spreading by Renhuang Pavilion, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble for Wu Wang.
Wu Wang thanked him and, lacking interest in talking, Xu Mu had to leave.
After a while, the room became completely quiet.
Wu Wang sat on the wooden chair for a while, looked at his storage treasures that were mostly empty, and felt a bit disoriented.
"I need to be more low-key from now on."
He muttered to himself, and Lin Suqing's eyes lit up. She thought that the Young Master would finally focus on cultivation. But Wu Wang sighed, "If I provoke any major sects now, they might blow up their mountain gates."
Lin Suqing:...
Damn it! I should have just let you sleep forever!

...
Due to the loss of wealth, Wu Wang couldn't muster up his spirits for several days. He stayed indoors and used his cultivation to encourage himself.
And he broke through a small realm.
Not only did Wu Wang feel a surge of understanding, but Ji Mo, Ling Xiaolan, and Lin Qi also had their own realizations. They all went into seclusion after Wu Wang woke up.
Wu Wang carefully pondered and realized that it was because they were under the pressure of the Evil God at that time, which forced out their potential.
In the short term, the eruption of potential would lead to a breakthrough in cultivation;
But in the long run, this could lead to exhausting all their resources.
Therefore, Wu Wang did not completely seclude himself, but suppressed these realizations and planned to cultivate when he could free himself from the pressure of the Evil God.
The Evil God.
The image of the Evil God, Hissing Snake, transforming into a human form and slowly descending from the sky, remained in Wu Wang's mind.
What happened at that time?
Wu Wang hadn't thought much about it before, but upon careful consideration, he noticed many details.
Firstly, Hissing Snake was proficient in the Great Dao of Heaven and Earth and could manipulate it. The scene of General Zhonglin's tragic death was enough to prove this.
Furthermore, his mother took action.
That silver-white lightning, Wu Wang was very familiar with it. However, the lightning this time was extremely powerful, able to tear through the heavens and break the seal that Hissing Snake had placed on the world.
The Lord of Renhuang Pavilion at that time rushed out from the crack in the world torn open by the silver-white lightning.
Moreover, Hissing Snake instinctively avoided this lightning...
Could it be that his mother's strength was a bit too strong?
Is this the strength a Heavenly Emperor should have?
Being in the North Wilderness and forcing the Evil God to retreat with a single strike, even though Hissing Snake's strength was far inferior to the Star God, but the Heavenly Emperor was still not the Star God...
"Could my mother have provoked retaliation from the Heavenly Emperor?"
With this worry in mind, Wu Wang called out to the necklace a few times and received a response from his mother.
"Mother, are you okay?"
"What could happen?" Cang Xue seemed a bit puzzled. "What's wrong? Do you want me to introduce Fairy Ling to you?""Mother, what you said is all nonsense. Of course, it's fine to introduce her as a friend."
Wu Wang blushed and quickly changed the subject, asking, "Will helping me defeat the Hissing Snake provoke retaliation from the Heavenly Emperor?"
Cang Xue remained silent for a while, making Wu Wang anxious.
Cang Xue suddenly smiled and said, "Just don't admit it."
"No... there will definitely be a problem," Wu Wang raised his hand and rubbed his forehead, his mind spinning quickly.
Cang Xue said softly, "Don't worry about it. The other gods won't easily set foot in the North Wilderness. Mother helped you this time to save her own child. If this matter is exposed, they won't dare to say anything.
There are some things that I can't tell you yet, but you don't have to be too cautious or worry too much about the safety of the clan. Just enjoy yourself in the Human Realm.
If you're not comfortable, just come back to your mother's side. No one will dare to bully you."
"Mother," Wu Wang thought carefully, "Compared to the Heavenly Emperor, who is stronger?"
"Of course it's Shen Nong," Cang Xue smiled, "Mother is just a servant of the Star God. How can I compare to the Heavenly Emperor?"
"What about the matter of your lifespan with Father..."
"You don't have to worry about that," Cang Xue fell silent for a while and said, "When your strength is enough, I will reveal some secrets to you. Mother knows that you have a sharp mind and hopes that you can help me with some ideas.
Just stay in the Human Realm and don't worry. The wave of fierce beasts in the north won't last long. Most of the Ten Calamities Gods are not innate gods, but gods sealed by the Heavenly Emperor. Their strength is not too strong.
When you have the strength to surpass the Hissing Snake, I can rely on you with peace of mind."
Wu Wang let out a sigh of relief, about to speak, when the necklace in his hand lost its radiance.
Could it be that his parents' lifespan won't be exhausted before he can surpass the Hissing Snake?
Humans can only live for a few hundred years, and the Star-Praying Technique and the cultivation method in the North Wilderness don't increase lifespan.
Wu Wang couldn't help but worry about this matter.
Just as one wave subsided, Lin Suqing hurriedly arrived, pushing the door open and shouting, "Young Master, you have to go and see. Ji Mo and Lin Qi are fighting, and even the immortals on the side can't stop them!"
Wu Wang scanned with his spiritual sense and saw Ji Mo and Lin Qi, the two guys, fighting not far away, which made him a little puzzled.
What's going on? Are they both interested in the same courtesan?
"Let's go, let's go and take a look. We won't have any fun if we're late."
Wu Wang greeted and walked out of the house, followed by Yang Wudi, his personal bodyguard.
Wu Wang said, "Wudi, there's no need to be so nervous."
"I can't, Master," Yang Wudi hurriedly said, "The Great Elder said that if you lose a hair, he'll peel off a layer of my skin. If you grind a fingernail, he'll break one of my legs!"
Wu Wang endured the pain and raised his hand, plucking two hairs from his own head, and handed them to Lin Suqing.
"Wrap them up and show them to the Great Elder when we go back."
"Okay!"
Lin Suqing sweetly agreed, and Yang Wudi trembled all over, almost crying.
After leaving the courtyard, passing a few wooden houses, Wu Wang saw the crowd of onlookers.
He didn't rush over, but made a gesture, and the Mo Sect guards brought over a reclining chair, a sunshade umbrella, and chilled fruit wine.
Wu Wang comfortably reclined on the chair, while Lin Suqing peeled melon seeds on the side and handed the plump jade-like melon seeds to Wu Wang.
Yang Wudi greeted them, and the human wall immediately split apart.
Ji Mo and Lin Qi also saw Wu Wang's figure and jumped away from each other, one with a swollen nose and a bruised face, and the other with disheveled hair, making the surrounding cultivators laugh incessantly.
Wu Wang leisurely said, "Gentlemen, continue fighting."
Lin Qi bowed his head and clasped his hands, saying, "Let the teacher enjoy the show."
Ji Mo snorted and cursed, "I've never seen such a clueless person! Wu Wang, what do you think?"
"What's going on?"
Wu Wang picked up the fruit wine and took a sip, wondering, "What's wrong with Lin Qi?"
"Teacher," Lin Qi said, "After thinking for many days, I have already figured out many things. The Yan Emperor's token is not something I deserve at the moment. I am willing to return it to the Ren Emperor Pavilion.
When I have honed myself and have the qualifications to possess this token, I will definitely go to the Ren Emperor Pavilion to get it back, no matter what hardships I have to endure."
Wu Wang fell silent upon hearing this, and Ji Mo immediately said, "Returning the Yan Emperor's token that you fought so hard to obtain, are you humiliating the Ren Emperor Pavilion? Do you look down on the Emperor?"
"Hey, Ji Mo," Wu Wang smiled, "It's not that serious. After all, the Yan Emperor's token is just a token, representing a kind of inheritance of the Emperor's position.
If Lin Qi feels that he can't hold the Yan Emperor's token securely at the moment, it's understandable for him to return it. There's nothing wrong with that.
But Lin Qi, have you ever thought about it?"
"Teacher, what do you mean?"
"Now that you have just been calculated by the Ten Calamities Palace, and you return the Yan Emperor's token to the Ren Emperor Pavilion," Wu Wang pointed to the armrest, "What will the Ten Calamities Palace say? That the Lin family's son is afraid of death? Or that the Emperor has chosen a coward as a candidate for Emperor?"
Lin Qi was stunned, "Disciple didn't think about this."
"When you have eliminated the Ten Calamities Palace, you can make such a choice again, and I won't persuade you anymore."
Lin Qi sighed, "Disciple is foolish and has caused you trouble, teacher."Wu Wang waved his hand, "Disperse. If you have abundant energy, go to the Northern Territory to kill ferocious beasts. You might even earn some merits."
The cultivators bowed to Wu Wang and then dispersed.
They didn't know what position Wu Wang held in the army, but judging from his demeanor, they felt he was a person of high rank and authority.
Ji Mo floated over to Wu Wang with a smug smile, his hands behind his back. His eyes held a hint of contemplation. After a moment of silence, he spoke in a gentle voice:
"Brother Wu Wang, I have an impertinent request. I wonder if you could agree."
He whispered a few words into Wu Wang's ear using Voice Transmission. Wu Wang's eyes widened, and he shook his head vigorously.
"How could this be possible?"
