The wine from the senior... a fake wine from 30,000 years ago?
In front of the small building, Wu Wang moved a wooden chair and placed it in the usual spot. After sitting down, he covered his forehead and took a deep breath.
It was already the third day after his father-in-law got drunk, but the splitting headache from the hangover still hadn't subsided.
Looking at the people around him...
Since the senior left that day, the few people he could trust, including the Great Elder and the Miao Elder, all announced that they would go into seclusion.
He didn't know if the senior secretly gave them benefits or if they couldn't accept this reality and went to digest it on their own.
Was it just drinking with Shen Nong? Was there a need to be so excited?
"Ah—hiss—"
Wu Wang held his forehead and groaned softly, thinking about the experience of falling into General Xiong San's wine vat when he was five or six years old. This headache was even worse than that time.
In front of him, several temporary guards stood with their backs to the Lord. At this moment, they all wanted to laugh but didn't dare to make a sound.
"If you make the Lord unhappy, your spirit stones will be deducted!"
Yang warned them in their ears.
There was still chaos in various places of the sect's residence.
A group of drunks were hopping around, performing the ancient prayer dance of the Human Realm.
The newly recruited disciples were also unable to concentrate on their cultivation at the moment. They were walking around in groups, chatting and laughing, chasing and playing, full of joy.
Not far from the residence of the Lord, which was surrounded by multiple layers of magical barriers, dozens of beautiful black witch women of various ages were frolicking in the water.
Unfortunately, it was a pity.
He was a serious Lord. Even if he could go and watch, he wouldn't look for more than a moment.
Not to mention... he couldn't see through it at all.
Wu Wang spread his spiritual awareness outside the sect's range and could see that this small demonic sect gathering place in the impoverished and treacherous land was filled with jubilant crowds. Everyone was celebrating the victory of the North Wilderness in various ways.
It was estimated that the atmosphere in the entire Human Realm was the same at this time.
The senior asked him to avoid this turmoil and report to the Renhuang Pavilion in a few months.
The so-called turmoil should refer to the festive activities in the Human Realm.
In this battle, regardless of whether it was calculated by the Heavenly Palace, the Human Realm did win.
Wu Wang vaguely remembered that when he was drinking, he said that if the Emperor of Humanity suppressed this atmosphere, he could take the opportunity to hold some ceremonies to commemorate the ancient times. He didn't know if the Emperor of Humanity would adopt this suggestion.
"Suqing...
I almost forgot, she went into seclusion."
Wu Wang just wanted to make himself a pot of tea, but he found that the tea leaves and tea set were in Lin Suqing's storage magic treasure.
Forget it, endure it. Immortal realm cultivators wouldn't die of thirst just because they didn't have tea.
After rubbing his forehead for a while, Wu Wang sat on the chair and let his mind wander for a while, completely relaxing his mind. The world in his eyes seemed to become much brighter.
In the future, when drinking with the senior, he must use the wine from the North Wilderness.
The 30,000-year-old "Dao Wine" had a stronger aftertaste than fake wine!
"Lord! Are you awake from the wine?"
A call came, and Mao Aowu jumped down from the sky. His silver hair gently floated behind him, and his hearty laughter attracted the attention of many junior disciples.
Wu Wang yawned and said, "Half awake... What's wrong? Is there something good happening?"
Mao Aowu asked, "The Renhuang Pavilion is hosting a grand banquet. Will you go?"
"I won't go," Wu Wang replied weakly, "I'll go to the Renhuang Pavilion in a few months. If I go now, it's just drinking and chatting, watching a group of people bragging and joking."
Mao Aowu's expression suddenly became awkward and he said, "Then I'll send a message to decline this matter, saying that you are in seclusion, trying to break through to the Immortal Realm."

"Phew—"
Wu Wang let out a long sigh of relief and took out a memory jade talisman, experiencing the starry sky Dao insights left by a certain Daoist.
"Mao Brother, didn't you say you were going into seclusion? Why did you come out after a few days?"
"I didn't gain any insights, I just wanted to be alone for a while. The previous incident had a great impact on me."
Mao Aowu looked around and transmitted his voice, "Lord, do you remember what happened after you drank with that senior?"
"I do remember. Singing, bragging, cursing the gods. What else could there be?"
Wu Wang tried to recall, and indeed, he didn't have any memory gaps. It was just that some scenes were a bit blurry.
He asked, "Could it be that I, once again, fought with that senior?"
"Fought?"
Mao Aowu was stunned, his voice trembling slightly, and he asked in return, "What exactly do you mean? Did you fight with that senior?
No... Why did you use the word 'again'?"
Wu Wang shook his head and replied seriously, "I do remember that I didn't fight."
"Of course, you can't fight!"
Mao Aowu hurriedly said, "How could you fight? If you fought with that senior, I would be caught in a dilemma between loyalty and righteousness. I wouldn't know which side to help!"
Wu Wang raised an eyebrow, held the jade talisman in his palm, and squinted as he smiled, "Then if we really fought, which side would Elder Mao be prepared to help?"
Mao Aowu opened his mouth, but immediately froze in place, wishing to slap himself.
"L-Lord, I still have some matters to attend to in the branch hall..."
"Ah, some people, it's not the first time they've betrayed their Lord."
Wu Wang sighed softly.
Mao Aowu was sweating profusely and quickly left, riding on a cloud and rushing out of the sect's grand formation. His figure was somewhat embarrassed.
Wu Wang laughed heartily for a while, and his headache was relieved a lot.
Forget it, he wasn't a devil after all. Always asking these questions would really make him lose friends.
In this case, not only Mao Aowu, but the others should also be using seclusion as an excuse to digest this matter.
To be honest, the senior rarely moved around in the Human Realm on weekdays. He gave people the feeling of being high above, the spiritual pillar and protector of the Human Realm. After they had close contact, they would indeed be impacted.
But the senior didn't need to deliberately maintain his dignity. Whether he was approachable or aloof, it couldn't change the fact that he was the strongest in the Human Realm.
The senior's words, "Relatives and friends have left," when pondered carefully, contained countless bitter stories.
The era belonging to the Shen Nong clan has passed. The seniors have been struggling to protect the Human Realm, hoping that the people chasing after them from behind can walk alongside them sooner.
"Is immortality really a good thing?"
The answer to this question obviously varies, but "immortality alone" should not be considered a good thing.
Wu Wang laughed, stretched his muscles and bones, crossed his legs, leaned against the back of the wooden chair, accompanied by laughter from the valley, accompanied by the slowly setting sun, experiencing the profundity of the Dao Realm, feeling the wonders of all things.
It wasn't until dusk that Wu Wang put away the jade talisman, carefully pondered the many insights he had just gained, and felt the subtleties within. He felt a sense of joy and didn't know how to express these subtleties to others.
"Master!"
A familiar voice, a familiar tone. Wu Wang looked up and saw Mao Aowu returning, with a flying shuttle commonly seen in the Human Realm military floating above his head.
Mao Aowu landed directly in front of the small building and said, "The Renhuang Pavilion sent someone to pick you up. I have already refused on your behalf, but it seems that Lord Liu personally asked for you to go."
"Oh?"
Wu Wang was in a good mood at the moment. He would inevitably have to work with Lord Liu in the future, so if Lord Liu sent someone to pick him up, he would naturally give Lord Liu face.
Looking at his appearance, although it was not outstanding, there was nothing disrespectful about it.
"Then let's go."
Wu Wang stood up and was about to move forward when the necklace on his chest suddenly became slightly hot, and ripples appeared in his spiritual platform.
A warning?
"Who is coming to pick me up? What is their cultivation level?"
"Two Heavenly Immortals and six True Immortals."
Mao Aowu said, "There are many immortals in the Renhuang Pavilion, and I only know one of them, named Shi Lianying, who is a Heavenly Immortal. I'm not very familiar with the others."
Are these eight people suspicious?
Wu Wang pondered slightly in his heart, and the first thought that came to mind was that the Great Elder was secretly protecting him. He could board the flying shuttle and weigh the importance of these guys.
But this thought... was actually a bit risky, and there was no need to take such risks.
If they were spies from the Ten Calamities Palace, they would take action against him, the Third Stage Demon Sect Master, while the Human Realm was "complacent and careless". As long as he collected a little evidence, he could interrogate them.
With his thoughts quickly turning, Wu Wang had made up his mind.
Wu Wang frowned slightly and sighed, "Why are there only two Heavenly Immortals? Every time I go out, don't I bring ten or eight Heavenly Immortals with me?"
Mao Aowu had a question mark on his forehead and wondered, "Master, our sect doesn't have..."
"Cough," Wu Wang cleared his throat, "Go and invite the Great Elder out of seclusion. I will go and borrow a few Lin family experts. How many people can the flying shuttle accommodate?"
"It should be enough for a dozen or so."
"Oh? Then I will bring a dozen or so Heavenly Immortals."
Wu Wang muttered to himself and walked towards the residence of the Lin family's experts with his hands behind his back.
On the second floor window, a little head secretly observed, with big eyes full of eagerness but also some worries.
"Did I forget why I came here to be his bodyguard? He's going to take risks."
Dongfang Mumu's little face was tangled for a while. She raised her hand and cast a barrier on Lin Suqing, who was cultivating in the corner, allowing her to cultivate peacefully. Then she jumped out of the window with her short sword in her arms.
"Take me with you!"
Without looking back, Wu Wang called out, "Wait for me outside the mountain protection formation, I'll call for reinforcements and they'll be here soon."
Taking advantage of the situation, Wu Wang carefully searched with his spiritual sense and found Miao Cuijiao, who was trying on new makeup in front of the dressing table. He transmitted his voice to her and asked her to take care of the weak Lin Suqing.
Except for Suqing, Ji Mo, and Lin Qi, the others did not come out of seclusion to digest the impact they had received in the past few days.
After a while.
That silver-gray flying shuttle was crowded with Heavenly Immortals.
...
"Please make some room, one more person can sit here."
"Sorry, sorry, we have too many experts in our family."
"This senior, can you please change this big cushion to a smaller one? Or we can sit together."
Harmoniously and happily, the transcendent realm Great Elder in a red robe, the silver-haired youth Mao Aowu carrying a large sword on his back, and the little one, Dongfang Mumu, along with two Heavenly Immortal elders from the extermination sect and six Lin family experts wearing battle armor.
In total, there were only eleven experts accompanying them.
Wu Wang was the last one to enter the flying shuttle.
When he entered, the eight Renhuang Pavilion immortals and true immortals all looked over, but they found that Wu Wang was quite dazzling at the moment. The golden battle armor he wore only revealed his head.
And upon careful sensing, this treasure armor seemed to contain endless power, faintly in harmony with the heavens and earth. It was obviously an extraordinary treasure.
"Well," Wu Wang looked around and took out a cushion, placing it in the only spot where he could stand in the flying shuttle, "I'll sit here."
The eight Renhuang Pavilion immortals each exchanged glances, their expressions unchanged, but cold sweat appeared on their foreheads.
But Wu Wang was a little puzzled. He didn't feel any aura of the Evil God's blood on these eight people.
But the warning from his mother was not false, clearly reminding him that these people were suspicious, and these suspicions were within his ability to handle.
Otherwise, his mother would have spoken up and warned him not to fall into danger.
He urged, "Let's set sail, what if we're late for the banquet?"
"Gulp."
Shi Lianying, the female immortal, trembled slightly with a high-pitched voice and whispered, "Master Wuwang, we are going to the Renhuang Pavilion, and your grandeur..."
"Is it not enough?"
Wu Wang looked at the Lin family experts and said, "Should I go and call some elite immortal soldiers in the True Immortal realm?"
The latter immediately said, "I'll go."
"No, no," Shi Lianying hurriedly said, "These are enough. It's just that the grandeur is too big, it might be inappropriate."
Wu Wang smiled and said, "The Emperor has won a battle, everyone is happy in their hearts. Let's go to the Renhuang Pavilion and join in the fun, right?"
The more than ten Heavenly Immortals all nodded and said in unison, "Master is right!"
The eight Renhuang Pavilion experts all had cold sweat on their foreheads.
What kind of person is this Wu Wang?If you see through their calculations, you should counter-calculate them or directly take them down.
If you haven't seen through their calculations, why bring so many experts and directly put on these precious armors?
Persuade, persuade to surrender?
"Let's go!"
Wu Wang waved his hand, and the flying shuttle trembled three times, slowly flying towards the northwest.
The magic treasures were not overloaded.
Just a few miles into the flight, Wu Wang suddenly said, "Great Elder, this flying shuttle is too slow. It's better for you to take control."
"Good," the Great Elder nodded with a smile, and without waiting for others to speak, he placed his palm on the wall of the flying shuttle.
In the next moment, the transcendent aura completely enveloped this place, and completely cut off the connection between the eight people and the outside world.
Wu Wang secretly observed the reactions of Shi Lianying and the others. Seeing that they were gradually becoming uneasy, he already understood the general situation.
The banquet at Renhuang Pavilion is true, but it is not certain whether Master Liu invited me.
This should be a plan made by the Ten Calamities Palace to get rid of me, and let these eight people lure me out and annihilate my sect. On the way to Renhuang Pavilion, there must be other ambushes.
If I only bring two or three Heavenly Immortals to protect my sect, or bring a True Immortal like Yang Wudi, it would be extremely difficult to resist.
Using eight spies at once, the Ten Calamities Palace has also paid a great price.
After all, there shouldn't be too many human immortals who obey them without the blood of the Evil God.
From a hidden perspective, these people are much more precious than those "same-level experts" who have been modified by the blood of the Evil God, and their value is several times higher.
"Mao Elder, which one is familiar with Shi Lianying?"
Mao Aowu was about to speak, but the clean-faced Shi Lianying in Daoist robe had already answered, "Master Wuwang, it's me."
"Nice to meet you," Wu Wang arched his hand, "I don't know what position you hold in Renhuang Pavilion?"
"Fourth-order internal affairs officer," Shi Lianying said busy, "two ranks lower than Elder Mao."
Mao Aowu smiled and said, "The branch pavilion master is at the sixth or seventh rank, corresponding to the rank of patrol immortal and internal affairs officer."
Wu Wang said, "What about the deputy pavilion master of the main pavilion?"
"Naturally, that would be the eighth rank."
Wu Wang nodded, a smile hidden behind his face mask. He was about to continue chatting, but the Great Elder transmitted his voice and said that there seemed to be a formation hidden between the two mountains ahead.
"What did the Great Elder say just now?" Wu Wang asked with a smile.
The Great Elder understood and lightly stroked his beard, saying:
"Three hundred miles away, there is a hidden formation on our path. From the fluctuations of the formation's spiritual power, it should be a combination of a trapping formation and a killing formation.
If the formation is activated, it will disturb the world, and the exploration of the world will be cut off for a period of time."
Shi Lianying immediately said, "Maybe someone has set up an ambush. We should go around and avoid unnecessary trouble."
"Set up an ambush?"
Wu Wang uncovered the face mask of the golden armor and said seriously:
"In this vast world, the peaceful place behind the Human Realm, why would someone set up an ambush here?
Friend, you are from Renhuang Pavilion, how can you allow such evil deeds to happen?"
Shi Lianying hurriedly said, "We should hurry to..."
"You don't need to say more!"
Wu Wang directly interrupted Shi Lianying's voice, and a righteous light seemed to shine around him.
"Near my annihilated sect, I will not allow vicious fights to happen!
Great Elder, hide our aura fluctuations, and reveal the eight experts from Renhuang Pavilion and my aura;
Everyone, be prepared for battle, prioritize your own safety, and if possible, capture them alive."
"Yes!"
The experts all answered in unison, and Wu Wang gave the Great Elder a look, and the Great Elder immediately understood.
The faces of Shi Lianying and the other seven people gradually turned pale, and at this moment, they were almost at a loss.
They had set up traps and hidden a large number of elite forces here. As long as they lured Wu Wang into the formation, they would try their best to eliminate Wu Wang's guards in the shortest possible time and then disperse and hide.
But what they estimated...
Where did the sect get so many Heavenly Immortals?
This transcendent realm Great Elder was like Master Wuwang's follower.
Aren't transcendent realm experts supposed to hide away and focus on cultivation without caring about worldly affairs?
How could this be!
"We are about to enter the range of the grand formation."
As soon as the Great Elder's voice fell, the flying shuttle trembled lightly, and the world revolved. Illusory images of mountains appeared out of thin air, instantly making them lose their sense of direction.
Trapping formation!
At this moment, dozens of streams of light shot towards the flying shuttle from the forests on both sides. Wu Wang sensed the aura of the Evil God's blood.
Sure enough, it was the Ten Calamities Palace.
They have also used a lot of manpower to deal with him this time.
The Heavenly Immortals in the flying shuttle held their magic treasures and stood up.
Shi Lianying and the others also tightened their grip on their magic treasures, ready to go out and kill the enemy.
Wu Wang suddenly said, "The experts from Renhuang Pavilion don't need to take action, they are just a group of miscellaneous soldiers... Attack!"
With a light shout, he suddenly punched towards the bottom of the flying shuttle.
The flying shuttle exploded in all directions, and more than ten figures rushed in all directions under the leadership of the Great Elder.
"Capture them all!"
The attacking streams of light were obviously caught off guard, and the pressure from the transcendent realm suppressed them, making them lose their fighting spirit.
But at this moment, Shi Lianying's eyes narrowed slightly, and the gaze of the eight people fell on Wu Wang, who was sitting in mid-air.
A bewitching red light suddenly appeared in Shi Lianying's eyes, and her tongue lightly slid in her mouth. A whistle-like object was held between her silver teeth, aimed at Wu Wang's neck.
Swoosh—
A black light shot out, but immediately followed by a "ding" sound, the silver needle flew away, leaving no trace on the golden armor.
Wu Wang looked a little confused and turned his head to look, "What's the commotion?"
Shi Lianying was taken aback, and the other seven people already showed a fierce light.
"Hmph!"
A cold snort came from the side.
The eight people turned their heads and saw the little girl who had boarded the ship with them, walking in the air with a short sword in her hand, only tens of yards away from them.
It was Dongfang Mumu.
Dongfang Mumu's figure flashed, leaving behind traces of afterimages.
Then, the sword light flickered, and those afterimages wandered around the eight people, displaying simple and concise yet extremely sharp sword techniques.When she reappeared, she was standing in front of Wu Wang, her short sword slowly being pushed back into its sheath.
The eight people around them fell backward, their primordial spirits restrained and bound by a celestial rope, suspended in mid-air.
"Is that all?"
Dongfang Mumu muttered, "Why did you use the treasure armor? You've unnecessarily exposed its existence to the Ten Calamities Palace."
"Just to save my life."
With a thought, Wu Wang retracted the treasure armor back into his spiritual platform, continuing to nourish it with his divine consciousness.
He looked around and realized that the battle was nearing its end, with one-sided captures taking place.
Wu Wang laughed, "Next time the Ten Calamities Palace wants to deal with me, they should send two big fish over.
Of course, if they know better and give up on targeting me, that would be even better."
Dongfang Mumu blinked and scolded, "I knew you were up to no good when you started asking questions!"
Wu Wang pulled out a light blue exercise book from his sleeve, causing Dongfang Mumu to jump back, narrowly avoiding a collision with the returning Mao Aowu.
"Sect Master! What should we do with these people?"
"You take them and claim credit, let the Ren Emperor Pavilion send someone to pick them up."
Mao Aowu's face turned red, and he hurriedly said, "That would be too embarrassing."
"Then just kill them all, we won't get any useful information out of them anyway."
"I'll claim the credit, I'll claim the credit!"
Mao Aowu quickly shouted, grinning at Wu Wang, "Sect Master, I haven't forgotten what you told me to do, it's just a bit embarrassing."
Wu Wang teased him a few times, reminding him that he needed to have thick skin to mix in the Ren Emperor Pavilion, and Mao Aowu naturally agreed repeatedly.
Having broken the Ten Calamities Palace's scheme, Wu Wang had no intention of continuing north.
The Emperor of Mankind had asked him to report to the Ren Emperor Pavilion in a few months, and he naturally cherished this holiday;
Although reporting to the Ren Emperor Pavilion was just a formality, and he wouldn't be dealing with miscellaneous matters, it was still a chore, and he couldn't avoid being ordered around by the old predecessors.
Forget it, for the sake of this sincere father-in-law relationship, he would endure it.
……
Just as Wu Wang was once again defeating the evil people of the Ten Calamities Palace;
In the Human Realm's western border, in a mountain city hundreds of miles behind the border wall, within the luxurious general's mansion.
Xue Kailong sat quietly on his cushion in his room, surrounded by a spirit gathering array that emitted a rich spiritual energy, but his body was trembling slightly, and a bit of cold sweat appeared on his forehead.
"Brother Lin, I'm on your side, why did you... Brother Lin..."
Crack!
Suddenly, there was a flash of lightning outside, Xue Kailong's body trembled slightly, a wisp of black energy drilled out from the ground and entered his body.
At the same time, a somewhat vague voice sounded in Xue Kailong's heart.
"Don't you want to make a name for yourself and become the successor to the Emperor of Mankind? You're actually not any worse than that Lin Qi."
