When Master Wancai Dao was taken away, his eyes were filled with...anticipation.
Wu Wang emphasized several times that he did not know how to compose poetry, and that these poems were all learned from others.
But Master Wancai Dao still turned back three times, as if reminding Wu Wang not to go back on his words.
It was not until Wu Wang took out a jade talisman and copied several poems from the "Three Hundred Tang Poems" that he gave the jade talisman to Renhuang Pavilion, and only then did Master Wancai Dao leave obediently.
Only a few people who knew where Wu Wang came from were now in great confusion.
Is North Wilderness really so talented?
The Immortal soldiers escorted the Ten Calamities Palace evildoers and began to withdraw. The experts from Renhuang Pavilion also followed to protect them. The beach was lively for a while, but gradually became deserted.
Wu Wang, Ji Mo, and Lin Qi were also preparing to return to the Mysterious Female Sect with the experts from the sect. By calculating the time, they would arrive just as dawn broke.
The speed at which they captured the second main hall of the Ten Calamities Palace using the "Cutting Cake" method was indeed too fast.
Seven or eight Transcendents and more than twenty Heavenly Immortal peak experts made their move together, and in an instant, everything was gone.
There was no chance for a comeback, and there were no hardships and difficulties.
- Removing a few small obstacles in the Human Realm was nothing. If it required a lot of effort, then the Human Realm would definitely be in chaos, rather than stable.
Mao Aowu jumped to Wu Wang's side and presented a storage treasure containing the blood of the Evil God, asking through voice transmission, "Master, how should we handle these treasures? Should we give them to Renhuang Pavilion?"
Wu Wang smiled and said, "Of course we should give them. This mission was assigned by Renhuang Pavilion."
"Master," Mao Aowu muttered, "Should we give them all? Shouldn't we keep a small portion?"
Although our sect is not in a tight situation, we are not wealthy either. The Lord of the Pavilion did not ask us to hand over everything..."
"How much is it exactly?"
"I estimated that these treasures and spirit medicines in their treasury can be sold for about five to six hundred thousand spirit stones."
Wu Wang frowned and asked, "Specifically?"
"About five hundred and sixty thousand."
Wu Wang rubbed his ear and said, "This second main hall of the Ten Calamities Palace is so poor. The total wealth is only one hundred and sixty thousand spirit stones."
"Ah, I see," Mao Aowu suddenly understood and laughed, "One hundred and sixty thousand spirit stones is indeed a bit poor."
"Give sixty thousand to Renhuang Pavilion and keep one hundred thousand."
Wu Wang said calmly, "If someone asks you, tell them that I kept the one hundred thousand spirit stones for researching the characteristics of the Evil God's blood and developing anti-Ten Calamities Palace weapons. In the end, it will still be returned to Renhuang Pavilion, which is beneficial to the entire Human Realm."
"I understand, Master!"
Mao Aowu responded respectfully, turned around, and hurried away.
Wu Wang turned around and happened to see the complex expressions of several senior members of the Mysterious Female Sect.
"Um...Master Wu Wang, we should leave now."
"Yes, thank you, seniors."
Wu Wang clasped his hands and looked around. He saw the ruins of the second main hall that protruded from the rock layer and did not match the surrounding terrain. He shook his head and sighed.
The scars left by the earth could only be healed by time.
The experience of the Second Elder also served as a great warning to himself.
To live peacefully and quietly, pretending to be struck by lightning.
Originally, the Second Elder had been managing this "branch hall" diligently, sending his subordinates to act as antagonists and gain some credit for the talented individuals of the Human Realm. No one could find this remote place.
But he had to cause trouble and go to the Mysterious Female Sect, thinking he could come and go freely.
And then?
Didn't he expose his flaws in the end, unknowingly drinking a cup of drugged wine and revealing his headquarters?
Interestingly, this second main hall was located in the southern region of the Human Realm and had various industries that earned spirit stones.
Mao Aowu didn't even see the account books related to these industries. They had already been collected by Lord Liu.
What Wu Wang took away was only a part of their accumulated wealth. All the shops, fields, land, flower towers, and taverns of the Ten Calamities Palace would be sealed and investigated by Renhuang Pavilion.
That was the real treasure.
At that time, Lord Liu agreed to let Mao Aowu collect the wealth here, but he didn't expect Wu Wang to spit out what he had eaten.
It was Mao Aowu's first time doing such a thing, so he was a little unsure and came to ask Wu Wang.
He lost sixty thousand spirit stones for no reason.
Thinking of this, Wu Wang sighed slightly and began to ponder how to deduct Yang Wudi's future offerings in the next hundred years in order to give more blood to the sect.
"What's wrong, Brother Wu Wang?"
On the flying platform in the sky, the elders of the Mysterious Female Sect were meditating at the edge, surrounding the four young people in the center.
Ji Mo saw Wu Wang's contemplative expression and took the initiative to ask, "Is there something missing?"
"There is nothing missing in tonight's events," Wu Wang casually brought up a topic, "I was just thinking, who else is above that Second Elder? The Great Elder? The Palace Master?"
Ji Mo became interested when he heard this and smiled, "Yeah, does the Ten Calamities Palace have a Palace Master? Is the Palace Master also one of the Nine Divine Sons?"
Lin Qi said, "It's very likely."
"Do you remember, Brother Wu Wang?"
Ling Xianzi said softly, "When we interrogated a True Immortal before he was taken away by the Hissing Snake, we learned a lot of information from his mouth. He mentioned several elders at that time."
Wu Wang carefully recalled for a while, shook his head slightly, and said, "This Second Elder didn't mention the Palace Master, but he mentioned the Great Elder several times. It seems that he is in their Third Main Hall."
Lin Qi laughed, "The name is quite strange. Even though it's called the Third Main Hall, it doesn't mean it ranks third in strength."
"The Third Main Hall of the Ten Calamities Palace is likely located in the southeast region of the Great Wasteland, close to the Human Realm."Wu Wang took out nine Spirit Stones and arranged them in a nine-square grid, representing the nine wilds of the Great Wasteland.
He said, "As cultivators of the Human Realm, we cannot sit idly by while the Ten Calamities Palace commits evil deeds. Judging from the situation in the Second Main Hall, these guys have lost their humanity."
Lin Qi sighed, "Master, the children captured by the Renhuang Pavilion have innocent eyes, and the teenagers are ignorant. They don't even know why they ended up in the Ten Calamities Palace and have to suffer in the blood pool. It's not their fault."
"Don't worry, the Renhuang Pavilion won't kill them."
Wu Wang sighed, "These are all victims of the Ten Calamities Palace. They will be properly taken care of. The Human Realm has many cultivation techniques that can help them overcome this shadow. What I'm thinking now is that the Ten Calamities Palace has been active in the Human Realm for thousands of years. Although their blood pool is not as dangerous as the one created by the Evil God, those who enter it can only survive one out of ten times, and those who survive become the Ten Calamities Palace's deadly weapons. How much evil has the Ten Calamities Palace committed?"
Ji Mo wondered, "Hasn't the Renhuang Pavilion been able to find the hiding place of the Ten Calamities Palace before?"
"The elite forces of the Human Realm are concentrated at the border," Ling Xiaolan explained, "The Renhuang Pavilion has always been short-staffed, otherwise there wouldn't be the duty of patrolling immortals. Judging from the multiple major formations destroyed in the Second Main Hall, the Ten Calamities Palace is skilled in disguise and evading the patrolling immortals is not difficult for them."
"This dilemma can actually be solved," Wu Wang smiled, "Later, whoever wants credit can write a memorial to the Emperor."
Ji Mo laughed, "What should we advise?"
Wu Wang said, "Let the various sects organize patrol teams, and the ones near the mountain gates can form a joint patrol team. Mobilize the usual strength of the immortal and demonic sects to suppress the areas where the Ten Calamities Palace can be active."
"This method is good," Ji Mo took out pen and ink.
However, Ling Xiaolan said, "This method was implemented in the past, but it easily led to disputes among the various sects and was quickly abandoned."
"In that case, forget what I said."
"This..."
Ji Mo held the paper and pen and looked at Wu Wang, whispering, "Is there ever a time when Brother Wu's ideas are not useful?"
"How could that be," Ji Mo smiled, "My admiration for Brother Wu is growing day by day and never-ending! But I have a small doubt and I would like Brother Wu to answer it."
"What doubt?"
Ji Mo leaned forward and asked in a low voice, "What did you say to Senior Jingyue? In just a few words, Senior Jingyue's attitude towards Brother Wu seemed to have changed completely."
The elders of the Mysterious Female Sect around them also pricked up their ears.
Wu Wang pondered for a moment, unable to come up with a good excuse, and could only say, "Senior Jingyue probably finds me more pleasing to the eye, I guess."
Ling Xiaolan didn't think too much about it, she pursed her lips slightly and turned her head to look at the night scene passing outside the lotus platform.
She also had some doubts.
She had only met the Sect Master a few times, and the Sect Master usually practiced in the back mountain... She didn't know how to explain to the Sect Master that she and Brother Wu didn't have a "must become Dao companions" relationship.
Wu Wang keenly caught this point and was afraid that Ling Xiaolan would misunderstand, so he immediately added, "Speaking seriously, Senior Jingyue's care for me should be because of another senior's face."
Ling Xiaolan blinked her eyes and felt a sense of emptiness in her heart.
Ji Mo and Lin Qi asked who the other senior was, but Wu Wang could only rack his brains to change the topic, avoiding them from associating it with the Yan Emperor.
On this journey.
The fairy's heart knows, the three friends inquire about the senior's matters.
When they approached the mountain gate of the Mysterious Female Sect, the eastern sky began to turn pale.
It was Lin Qi who noticed that Ling Xiaolan seemed a little disinterested and asked proactively, "Master, what's wrong with Xiaolan?"
Wu Wang:...
Why not ask Ling Xiaolan directly?
"I'm fine," Ling Xiaolan smiled, "I'm just a little tired from the journey and also worried about Master's injuries. This time, being able to help the two senior brothers in the sect seek revenge, I'm actually happy in my heart."
Wu Wang said, "Fairy, you should rest more and not tire yourself out."
Ji Mo also smiled, "The Ten Calamities Palace has caused trouble, but can there still be any disturbances during the disciple recruitment ceremony? It will definitely proceed smoothly, so don't worry."
"Say less of that," Wu Wang glared at Ji Mo, "Every time you speak, I feel uneasy."
"I don't have that ability," Ji Mo smiled bitterly.
The elders of the Mysterious Female Sect reminded, "Xiaolan, you still have to perform the sword dance on stage later, so you should be in high spirits."
"Yes, Uncle Master, don't worry, I just need to meditate for a while when I go back."
Sword dance?
Ling Xiaolan suddenly felt the sharpness in the eyes of the people around her, and couldn't help but turn her head to look. She saw the six clear and bright eyes of Wu Wang, Ji Mo, and Lin Qi, shining mischievously.
...
In a dark corner, several jade talismans flickered gently, and the two figures in front of the jade talismans were also frowning.
A somewhat anxious voice came from the jade talismans:
"What? The Second Elder was killed and Wan Cai Dao Ren was captured?"
"When did this happen? How was the Second Main Hall exposed? This is impossible!"
"According to the reports from the spies inside the Renhuang Pavilion, the Renhuang Pavilion suddenly came knocking, dozens of experts launched a surprise attack, directly lifting the earth into the air, sealing off the heavens and earth, and cutting off the earth's veins. The Second Elder had no way to escape."
"The Second Elder has always been cautious. Although I don't know how he was exposed, but... everyone, the underground is no longer safe."
"What else can we do? Put the Bloodline Treasure Pool out in the open? That would only lead to a quicker death!"
The jade talismans and the two figures fell into silence at the same time.
"Find a way to hide and lurk on your own," the figure on the left spoke, with a gentle voice, "I've advised you long ago, you can find a low-profile demonic sect, take advantage of others' nests, and use others' names."
"Indeed, if it's not feasible, let's not touch the blood pool for now. I refuse to believe that they can truly discern our bloodline!"
"What about the properties of the Second Main Hall?"
The two figures and several jade talismans fell silent.
One of them said, "Let it go. We can't afford to show any flaws at this time. Survival is paramount."
"Agreed."
"Indeed."
After the two shadows, a somewhat warm voice suddenly came, indistinguishable between male and female, saying:
"There's something sinister about the affairs of the Second Main Hall. We need to find out what happened.
Be careful in your investigations, we must figure out how the Second Elder was exposed. As for Wan Cai Daoist, don't bother him too much, he doesn't know what we've been up to since we came to the Human Realm.
For now, don't report this to our fathers."
The jade talismans and the two shadows responded in unison, "Yes, Great Elder."
"Hmm."
There was no more sound in the corner, and the light from the jade talismans gradually faded.
...
The wind was howling, the mischievous sun star was bound in the chariot by the Sun Goddess, slowly rising from the soup valley, bringing half a day's light to the Great Wasteland.
In the southwestern coastal region of the Human Realm, large ships were hurriedly unloading goods.
Most of the people coming and going were robust men and women, bear-like in stature, their attire completely different from that of the Human Realm.
The hundred or so Golden Elixir realm and two Elemental Infant realm cultivators in charge of guarding this place were watching this scene from a distance, fearing that these suddenly arrived strong men and women would cause trouble.
The blood qi emanating from these men and women was even more exaggerated than that of ferocious beasts that had lived for hundreds of years!
But they had legitimate passes, documents issued by Ren Huang Pavilion, and were the envoy group of the North Wilderness's Great Clan coming to the Human Realm.
Just then, several streaks of light flew in from the east, transforming into several male and female immortals, complaining:
"We were suddenly called to escort the criminals from the Ten Calamities Palace, and almost forgot about the matters here!"
"We've been saying to increase manpower, increase manpower, but the higher-ups don't listen to us. Our salaries aren't high, and we're running around every day. Whoever loves this patrol immortal envoy job can have it!"
"Quick, quick, ask where the envoy group of the Great Wave Clan has gone?"
In a hurry and flustered, these few immortals landed on the dock and had a few words with the strongest and most vigorous man there.
The female immortal exclaimed, "What? Your young master has taken a group of guards and priests and left first? Where did he go?"
"Don't worry," the strong man laughed, "My young master is far stronger than me. At just twenty or thirty years old, he can already defeat our clan leader! There won't be any safety issues!"
The female immortal almost pulled out her own hair:
"I'm afraid he's in danger!
The North Wilderness body cultivators rely on divine power, their upper limit is not high, there are plenty of immortals in the Human Realm stronger than him!"
A group of strong men immediately surrounded her.
"Your words are belittling us! How can the upper limit of our North Wilderness men's strength be low?"

"Let's have a contest, I'll give you one arm!"
"I'll give you both arms and both legs, and just use my head to compete with you!"
"The name of our young master, Great Wave Xing Tian, will surely resound throughout the Human Realm!"
The female immortal's forehead was full of black lines, and she felt dizzy.
Meanwhile, thousands of miles away.
A gray hawk with wings spanning dozens of feet was swiftly flying across the sky of the Human Realm, followed by streaks of light, attracting the attention of countless cultivators.
A ferocious beast?
There's such a good thing, a ferocious beast with thousands of years of lifespan appearing in the sky of the Human Realm?
Isn't this a walking beast core?
On the back of the gray hawk, a group of men as tall as iron towers stood quietly in black armor;
In front of them, a robust young man was lying on a cushion with his arm as a pillow, his legs crossed, a dogtail grass in his mouth, and a slight smile on his lips.
'Brother Xiong Ba, you didn't expect this, did you?
Wait for your big brother to make a name for himself in the Human Realm, meet some of the heroes of the Human Realm, and continue to cover for you here!'
He asked, "Which power here is the biggest and most lively?"
"Young Master, I heard that the Mysterious Female Sect is holding a grand disciple acceptance ceremony today, not far from here."
"Let's go there, the more people the better!"
Xing Tian took a deep breath, a raging fire burning in his eyes.
"I, Great Wave Xing Tian, will make my name known to the world today!"
