Upon hearing Lin Qi's invitation, Wu Wang's first reaction was...

whether this matter was a trap.

Wu Wang did not distrust Lin Qi, but rather, his impression of Lin Qi's father, Lin Shuhao, was not very good.

Not to mention, sending assassins to the Kingdom of Women to cause trouble and tarnish Ji Mo's reputation was most likely arranged by Lin Nuhao.

Furthermore, Lin Qi's previous inner demons were also left by General Lin Nuhao.

But Wu Wang couldn't refuse the opportunity that was presented to him.

This was the newly developed power of the Evil God, which might be even purer than the previous batch of divine children, with some kind of innovative taste!

After a brief consideration, Wu Wang agreed to the matter.

"Lin Qi, wait for me for a while. I need to think about who to bring along."

"Teacher, are you going with your disciple?"

A smile immediately appeared on Lin Qi's face, and he seemed a little too happy. He said, "I will write back to my family and let them prepare to welcome the teacher!"

"Ah, no, no," Wu Wang quickly stopped him. "What is there to welcome me for? The Lin family is a prominent family in the Human Realm, while I am just the master of a small Demon Sect."

Lin Qi hurriedly said, "You are not small anymore. With the recent changes in rankings, with Transcendents present, you must be in the top forty."

Wu Wang said, "Just treat it as bringing a friend back. After we return, you don't have to call me teacher. Let's treat each other as equals, so as not to upset your father."

Lin Qi frowned and pondered for a while before agreeing with a bow.

"Teacher, I have overstepped."

"Call Wu Wang to come and listen."

Lin Qi seemed to struggle to speak.

"This... Wu... Wu Wang..."

"Hahaha! Just like that! Why is a grown man acting so timidly!"

Wu Wang couldn't help but laugh and said, "You keep calling me teacher every day, and it's making me feel a little guilty towards you... Suqing! I need to go out for a while. Will you go with Mu Daxian?"

Before Lin Suqing could answer, Mu Daxian had already jumped down from the second floor.

"Of course we will go together. Our orders are to protect you at all times!"

Wu Wang smiled and said, "I think you want to protect Suqing at all times."

Lin Suqing laughed softly as she floated down from the second floor. After taking another Xuncao Spirit Pill, there didn't seem to be any obvious changes in her appearance.

- In terms of fair skin and beauty, Auntie Lao's room for improvement is already limited.

"Young Master, do you need to prepare a gift for Lin Gongzi's father?"

"Take out the two jars of fine wine that I have been treasuring, and prepare two packs of minerals," Wu Wang thought for a moment, "There's nothing else good to give."

Lin Qi hurriedly said, "How can I accept a gift from my teacher?"

"It's not for you, it's for your father! Also, what should you call me?"

"Wu Wang..."

"Haha, that's right."

Wu Wang found it interesting and asked everyone to prepare. He sent the True Immortal guards outside the door to invite the Great Elder to go out together.

Half an hour later, a flying shuttle left the gate of the Mie Sect.

The flying shuttle was a flying treasure used by the two Lin family experts, commonly seen in the Human Realm army. It was known for its fast speed and good concealment, but its appearance was too low-key and ordinary, not favored by members of the 'Love Face Alliance'.

These two experts had been in the Mie Sect for two or three years, and now they were returning to the Lin family, with a faint smile on their lips.

Wu Wang did not bring too many people on this trip, after all, it was a dangerous place on the border, not like the last time at the Mysterious Female Sect where they drank and feasted.

When the young master went out, Lin Suqing naturally had to follow. She could prevent Wu Wang from falling into an embarrassing situation of "repeatedly touching women".

The Great Elder, who had just reached the Transcendent realm, and the half-step Transcendent, Mi Daxian, were both forces that could not be ignored. With these two accompanying them, the four of them were the perfect reinforcements for the border.

Everyone meditated, and the two Heavenly Immortal experts from the Lin family took turns activating the flying shuttle, maintaining its top speed as they headed northwest towards the border.

Lin Suqing was busy serving Wu Wang, sometimes preparing a fruit platter for him, sometimes brewing tea.

On the way, Lin Qi suddenly said, "Ah, it's a pity that Ji Xiong couldn't come with us."

"It's better not to let Ji Mo accompany you to your Lin family."

Wu Wang smiled and said with a hidden meaning, hinting at the matter of the Kingdom of Women.

Lin Qi frowned and pursed his lips, feeling a little down. He whispered, "Lao... Wu Wang, if it was really my family who framed Ji Mo and ruined his reputation and opportunity..."

"No need to think too much. If it wasn't you, then it wasn't you."

Wu Wang laughed, "Ji Xiong doesn't care about this matter anymore. He is currently enlightening himself at the Flower Tower. He might make a breakthrough when he comes out."

The Great Elder stroked his beard and pondered, "Enlightenment at the Flower Tower? Is he walking the path of dual cultivation?"

"I haven't asked Ji Xiong about that."

Wu Wang smoothly changed the topic and asked Lin Qi, "What kind of person is General Lin Nuhao?"

Lin Qi's mood became even gloomier, and he lowered his head without saying much.

The two Lin family generals, on the other hand, became spirited and each spoke for a while.

According to their descriptions, General Lin Nuhao cared for his subordinates, prioritized benevolence and righteousness, was wise and martial, proficient in battle formations and military strategies, and had extraordinary personal strength. He had the courage to face ten thousand enemies and was a role model for all generals. He had even received praise from the Emperor, and the Renhuang Pavilion had given him countless rewards.This General Lin Nu Hao is not from a prestigious family, but he alone has built the Lin family of today.

Wu Wang already had a rough image in his mind.

Strong, skilled in warfare, adept at winning people over...

With such a character, why force Lin Qi to compete for the Yan Emperor's token? Wouldn't it be more likely for him to declare himself a candidate for the position of the Deer Emperor?

Forget it, it's better to mind one's own business.

Wu Wang will also greet him with a smile later, exchanging pleasantries and showing respect, all for the sake of Lin Qi's face.

Passing through numerous mountains and rivers, flying through sunrises and sunsets, the shuttle flew straight to the northwest border of the Human Realm.

When the Lin family's general said, "This is the frontline military camp, Master Wuwang, please look to the north."

Wu Wang looked through the small window towards the north and saw a winding mountain range in the distance; but this mountain range was unusually flat, with uniform heights everywhere, like a wall hundreds of zhang high.

Faintly, he could hear the roar of beasts coming from there, and he could also see the flowing lights shuttling back and forth.

The spiritual energy there surged back and forth like waves, and if spiritual energy had form and color, it would surely be a magnificent sight.

Wu Wang praised, "So that's the Northern Wall that withstands the tide of fierce beasts? Truly majestic."

Everyone nodded with smiles, talking about the history of the Northern Wall, so that the last stretch of the journey wouldn't be too dry.

Their destination was a stone city built on the mountaintop.

It was at the same height as the Northern Wall, only a few hundred li away from the front line, and the mountains below had been moved here out of thin air, standing on the thousand-mile plain.

The buildings in the stone city were very orderly, all three-story small buildings with uniform spacing, and even the defensive formations in various places were of the same color.

The central General's Mansion was very grand, with tall pavilions standing in it, and the central hall was built like a grand palace, with dragon-shaped eaves.

There were indeed many cultivators stationed here.

There were no mortals in the stone city, even the patrolling teams were all at the Immortal Realm; there were twelve large camps distributed throughout the mountains below the city, and although half of them were empty at the moment, there were still tens of thousands of cultivators stationed here.

In the nearby plains, there were dozens of towns scattered around, presumably for the families of these cultivators.

For these cultivators, this was their home, and the Lin family was their "lord".

Wu Wang couldn't help but ask, "Are these all the private soldiers of the Lin family?"

"The term private soldiers is the first time I've heard of it," the Lin family's general smiled and said, "These are all followers of our general, within the number permitted by the Ren Emperor's Pavilion."

Wu Wang nodded with a smile, but sighed inwardly:

[The problems in the Human Realm go far beyond the conflict between immortals and demons, no wonder my father-in-law is under so much pressure.]

The shuttle flew unimpeded all the way, passing through three layers of protective formations, and landed in front of the majestic Lin Mansion.

The Lin family's general put away the shuttle, and the seven of them stood firmly in front of the stone path, and the immortal soldiers guarding the mansion immediately bowed their heads in salute.

There was an immediate outcry in the mansion.

"Young Master is back!"

"General! Young Master is back to the mansion!"

The gates of the Lin Mansion were pushed open by the immortal soldiers, and there were many figures running inside.

Lin Qi hurriedly said, "Brother Wuwang, please wait here, I will go inform my father."

Wu Wang nodded with a smile, and Lin Qi lifted the hem of his robe, flying directly into the mansion with two family generals, heading straight to the main hall.

Faintly visible in the front hall of the Lin Mansion were many figures, presumably discussing matters.

"Hahaha! Hahaha!"

Suddenly, a loud laughter rang out from the mansion, a middle-aged man with a burly figure and wearing gray armor, accompanied by several generals, hurried over.

At this moment, there were also more than a dozen men and women sitting in the front hall, dressed in different attire.

Lin Qi also followed behind this middle-aged man, and when he was about to reach the gate, he pointed at Wu Wang and laughed, "Father, this is the friend that your child trusts and respects the most, the Master of the Annihilation Sect, Wu Wang."

"Oh?"

The middle-aged man looked at Wu Wang, the dignified expression on his face converging into a smile, he nodded slightly to Wu Wang as a greeting, and then his gaze fell on the Great Elder, and he said with joy:

"Could this be the newly ascended Transcendent Blood-Handed Demon Lord? I've heard so much about you!"

Wu Wang:...

A show of strength?

Lin Qi's face darkened, Lin Suqing's eyebrows furrowed lightly, Mu Da Xian also looked disdainful, and the Great Elder's eyebrows furrowed, immediately wanting to leave.

But at this moment, the Great Elder still held back, took a step back and stood behind Wu Wang, not saying a word.

Lin Qi stepped out from behind those generals and stood in front of this middle-aged general, firmly saying, "Father, this is the honored guest I invited!"

"Go to the backyard and greet your mother."

Lin Nu Hao said calmly, his bearded face not angry but imposing, his gaze somewhat stern.

Lin Qi's arm trembled slightly, and said again, "Father!"

"What's wrong, after going out to practice for a while, you don't understand the rules anymore?" Lin Nu Hao said with a smile, but glanced at Wu Wang.

A quick look at "paw𝑟ead.com" will leave you more fulfilled.

Wu Wang also felt amused.

There was no doubt that he was being targeted by Lin Nu Hao.

Lin Qi's face turned pale, she looked up at her father, pursed her lips, and still refused to bow her head.

Suddenly, Wu Wang spoke with a smile:

"Brother Lin, didn't you often say that you missed your mother? Go and pay your respects."

"But..."

"It's nothing, it's nothing."

Wu Wang waved his hand with a smile and said,"I took you to the extermination sect for cultivation. General Lin must be somewhat dissatisfied with me, but it doesn't matter.

We are all working for the Human Realm, serving the Emperor. How could General Lin really make things difficult for me? Suqing, present the fine wine I brought."

"Yes," Lin Suqing softly responded, using her mana to wrap two jars of fine wine and push them forward, but she did not take out the two treasure bags.

A general behind Lin Nu raised his hand and took the two jars of wine.

Lin Qi took two steps back, turned around, and bowed to Wu Wang, saying, "Teacher, I will go and see my mother first."

He resumed using this title.

Immediately, Lin Qi turned and walked back to the mansion, passing by his father. The expressions of the father and son were somewhat gloomy, and they looked quite similar.

He stared at Wu Wang for a while, but Wu Wang did not back down and met his gaze.

Between the two, it seemed as if there were several lightning bolts flashing.

Lin Nu calmly said, "Master Wuwang, thank you for taking care of this unruly child."

"General Lin is too polite," Wu Wang smiled, "Actually, Brother Lin and I are of the same generation. He always asks me about the principles of being a person, which is why he calls me teacher."

"Is that so?"

Lin Nu smiled indifferently, turned around and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Esteemed guests from the Four Seas Pavilion, please pay attention to your manners, and don't cause any trouble for the extermination sect."

"General Lin, rest assured, I always know the proper etiquette and boundaries."

Wu Wang opened a folding fan in his hand and lightly shook it in front of him, exuding a bit of the demeanor of a young master.

"Please, Daoist friend."

Lin Nu did not say much more, leading a few generals to take the lead.

Wu Wang actually wanted to turn back and return to his mansion, but he felt that it would be disrespectful to Lin Qi if he left like this. So he felt a bit unhappy and took a step into the Lin mansion.

The group of people arrived at the front hall door, and before Wu Wang could enter, a hearty laughter suddenly came from inside the door.

"Master Wuwang, long time no see, how have you been?"

Lin Nu frowned slightly.

The person speaking in the hall was a middle-aged Taoist, wearing a tall hat and carrying a long sword. He had been sitting in the deputy seat in the front hall before.

Wu Wang smiled and responded, looking at this person with some familiarity. After careful recollection... the beach, moonlight, the soles of the shoes of the Pavilion Master of the Four Seas Pavilion...

The Thirteen Cold Swords?

Looking at the more than ten people who stood up to greet him, Wu Wang found that he recognized all of them. They were the same group of people who had attacked the Second Main Hall of the Ten Calamities Palace last time, except for the Chief Liu and the other transcendent beings.

He laughed and said, "So it turns out that all of you are the elite support team of the Renhuang Pavilion during wartime. Wherever support is needed, you move there? Hahaha!"

The various Taoists showed a smile on their faces.

The Thirteen Cold Swords laughed and said, "Master Wuwang left in a hurry last time, and I didn't have time to introduce myself. I am Xiaojian, which means the sword that reaches the Ninth Heaven!"

Wu Wang clasped his hands and smiled, "So it's Senior Xiaojian. Have the Thirteen Swords been combined into one?"

"Hey! Calling me senior is being too polite. Just take advantage of me and call me a fellow daoist."

Xiaojian blinked at Wu Wang and moved to the side, saying loudly:

"Now that Master Wuwang has arrived, we have nothing to do.

General Lin, please discuss with Master Wuwang on how to capture the Divine Child. Master Wuwang is skilled in strategy and quick-witted, deeply trusted by our Pavilion Master. We also have great confidence in him."

Lin Nu calmly said, "Military matters are not child's play. Is Master Wuwang too young for this?"

Xiaojian smiled and said:

"Heroes don't ask about their origins, and ambition is not determined by age.

Since General Lin said so, let me be more straightforward.

Master Wuwang was actually invited by our Renhuang Pavilion. Our Pavilion Master has given him full authority to handle matters related to the Divine Child. If General Lin doesn't believe it, you can ask the others here."

The other Renhuang Pavilion experts immediately said, "That's right."

"We believe in Master Wuwang's plan."

"Master Wuwang, please take a seat!"

"If General Lin doesn't believe it, you can go and ask our Master."

Listening to the shouts of these experts, Wu Wang almost laughed out loud. In his heart, he couldn't help but mutter, is there a rift between the Renhuang Pavilion and the Lin family?

However, Lin Nu's previously gloomy expression changed, revealing a slight smile. He made a gesture of invitation to Wu Wang:

"I have misunderstood you. I have been rude before. Master Wuwang, please take a seat!"

Wu Wang turned his head and walked towards the last seat, waving his hand and saying, "No need, let Senior Xiaojian take the seat. I'm just here to join in the fun."

With that, he sat down with the Great Elder, and Lin Suqing stood quietly behind them.

On the other hand, Dongfang Mumu, holding a short sword, stood at the door without moving.

Lin Suqing softly called out, "Mumu, come over here."

"Mm," Dongfang Mumu responded, but she kept staring at Lin Nu.

When Lin Nu took his seat, she suddenly said, "General Lin Nu, do you recognize me?"

Lin Nu frowned and asked in a deep voice, "How should I address you, Daoist friend?"

The Renhuang Pavilion experts beside him couldn't help but suppress their laughter.

"You don't need to know how to address me. The current Pavilion Master of the Four Seas Pavilion is our master, and the previous Pavilion Master is our grandmother."

Dongfang Mumu held her arms and said indifferently:

"This Wu Wang is our good friend, and it's not just the Renhuang Pavilion that supports him. You better not have any ulterior motives."

"That's enough, that's enough," Wu Wang patted the seat next to him, "Mumu, come back."

"Humph," Mu Daxian flicked his head and hopped back, "Such a big general, yet he doesn't even know how to treat people with courtesy. His mind is a bit too narrow."

Lin Nuhao gave a casual smile, his emotions unreadable. He said directly:

"The war is urgent, the Evil God could strike at any moment, where were we in our previous conversation?"
