The warm pavilion was filled with sunlight.

Wu Wang sat by the bed, listening to Ji Mo's detailed account of the attack.

"...At that time, the situation was chaotic. The Ten Calamities Palace had many people, and my fellow daoists who were escorting me used their elemental spirit power to temporarily hold them off while reinforcements were on their way.

During the brief stalemate, several Heavenly Immortals from the other side broke through our defensive formation.

And then, Yang Wudi stood up.

He suddenly burst out from the crowd and rushed into the gap before the other calamities, even knocking off his own headgear. His shiny bald head fiercely collided with my chest.

At that moment, I thought Wudi was going to kill me, and I was knocked unconscious by the impact.

Then, Wudi deliberately exposed a flaw and was sent flying by a powerful expert beside me, and the gap was filled..."

As Ji Mo narrated, Wu Wang stood up and paced by the bed for a while.

He asked, "How severe are your injuries?"

"At first, they looked serious. I coughed up a lot of blood, but they were only internal injuries to my dao body. My Elemental Infant was not heavily damaged."

Ji Mo said, "I was worried that there might be spies from the Ten Calamities Palace secretly monitoring us. To protect Wudi and prevent him from being suspected, I pretended to be unconscious and made it seem like my dao foundation was severely damaged."

Wu Wang smiled and said, "You pretended to be injured quite convincingly."

Ji Mo's face turned pale as he smiled and sighed, "When you're out there, with a low cultivation level, you have to have some tricks up your sleeve."

"I've been thinking about how to cover up for Wudi now, at least to prevent the Ten Calamities Palace from suspecting him..."

After pondering for a moment, Wu Wang came up with an idea and discussed it with Ji Mo, finalizing their plan.

Wu Wang took out a jade talisman, carefully considered it, and wrote a few lines:

[Young Master Ji Mo of the Ji Family was severely injured in an ambush, and his injuries rapidly worsened. Fortunately, the Renhuang Pavilion sent the 'Nine Revolving Soul Returning Pill' personally refined by His Majesty the Emperor, which saved his life. However, his dao foundation is half destroyed, and he can only reach the True Immortal realm at most.]

Wu Wang went out and personally handed the jade talisman to Celestial Sword Taoist.

This sword immortal had been under the command of Liu Bairen in the Renhuang Pavilion for many years and knew how to spread the news.

"Lord Wu Wang!"

Le Yao called out to Wu Wang anxiously, her eyes filled with urgency.

"How is he?"

"Don't worry, sister-in-law," Wu Wang said seriously, "I will do my best to ensure that all the items on Young Master Ji's body function normally!"

Le Yao's eyebrows showed a hint of hesitation as she said, "I don't doubt you, Lord Wu Wang. It's just... my master, who is skilled in the art of alchemy, has arrived. Can I let him take a look at my husband?"

"Give this to your senior."

Wu Wang took out a bottle of healing pills refined by Shen Nong, the senior alchemist. "If he thinks it's more effective than this pill, he can come..."

As he spoke, Wu Wang pondered for a moment.

Le Yao was now the person closest to Ji Mo, while he was still an outsider.

Letting Le Yao know about Ji Mo's fake injuries wouldn't endanger Yang Wudi's safety and would save her from worrying.

Wu Wang said, "If you're still worried, you can accompany me to help treat Ji Mo."

"Thank you, Lord Wu Wang!"

Le Yao handed the pill to the demonic cultivator in the Heavenly Immortal realm behind her and hurriedly followed Wu Wang into the barrier set up by the Great Elder.

A moment later.

This demonic immortal, who appeared even more beautiful and charming as a married woman, looked at Ji Mo sitting up straight from the bed with surprise. His originally pale face was now rosy.

She quickly went over to support Ji Mo and used her body as a support for her husband, exclaiming, "Is this pill really so miraculous? Thank you, Lord Wu Wang, for saving him!"

Wu Wang smiled and said calmly, "Ji Mo, didn't you say that your sister-in-law is decisive and wise, and can handle things on her own most of the time?"

Ji Mo raised his hand and held Le Yao's soft hand, gently rubbing it a few times, and said in a warm voice, "Yao'er, you worry too much. Just like when Lord Wu Wang fell into a coma, Ling Fairy also lost her composure.

I'm fine, I just pretended to be seriously injured before... Oh, wait!

Why did you call her sister-in-law? I'm actually older than Lord Wu Wang."

"Ji Mo, do we need to judge our relationship based on age?"

Wu Wang lifted the hem of his robe and elegantly sat on a wooden chair in the room, smiling, "We are as close as brothers, and our feelings are even more sincere than that of a father and son."

"Get lost!"

Ji Mo laughed and scolded, "After closing up once, Lord Wu Wang, you've learned to take advantage of others?"

"It's just to avoid making Le Yao feel embarrassed. I'm just trying to ease the atmosphere with a few words. Le Yao doesn't need to be so formal with me. Just call me brother."

Le Yao softly said, "Brother Wu Wang."

"Alright, that's fine."

Ji Mo's face was filled with resignation.

Wu Wang said seriously, "Let's talk about the main issue. How did the dispute between the Breaking Sun Sect and the Heavenly Fire Sect start in your opinion?"

Le Yao didn't answer, she just looked at Ji Mo affectionately.

Ji Mo sighed, "It's accumulated grievances over the years. Every major sect has a few enemies, and the Breaking Sun Sect is no exception."

Wu Wang said, "During this process, did you ever suspect that the Ten Calamities Palace might have been instigating things?"

"Not only did we suspect, but I also arranged a large number of experts to secretly monitor and observe anyone suspicious. But in the end, we found no trace and couldn't find any clues."

Le Yao nodded gently beside him.

Wu Wang asked again, "In recent years, has there been anyone in the Breaking Sun Sect who has behaved strangely? Or someone who was previously unknown but suddenly became very active?"Ji Mo looked at Le Yao, who shook her head slightly.

Ji Mo smiled and said, "Yao'er, you can speak directly. Wu Xiong is not an outsider, there are no such rules... Our family doesn't have the rule of not allowing you to speak!"

"It's not because of any rules."

Le Yao glanced at Wu Wang and immediately looked away, whispering, "I don't know why, but every time I see this elder brother, I always feel... a little scared."

Scared?

Wu Wang took out a bronze mirror and carefully looked at it. He had a square face and handsome features. Although he couldn't be called "exceptionally talented and beautiful," he was still a member of the "relying on looks to eat" alliance.

Why would that be scary?

Le Yao whispered, "Brother, don't mind. I have a little ability to sense things since I was young. It should be that your hidden strength is too strong, which makes me feel a little frightened."

Let's talk about the matters within the sect.

As she mentioned this, her gaze suddenly became sharp, and her own temperament became more dominant.

Le Yao continued, "Not only do we suspect that the Ten Calamities Palace has made a move, but the Renhuang Pavilion has also warned all sects to be on guard against the Evil God Qiong Qi's mischief.

We certainly won't be careless about this.

I have personally questioned the elders, disciples, and members who had conflicts with those immortal sects before. I even used the Day Demon Heart Purification Technique, but I didn't find any flaws in their hearts.

The overall situation within the sect is stable, and we have also investigated those who have been more active in recent years."

Wu Wang laughed, "Your sect is surprisingly cautious, which is slightly different from the reputation I've heard."

Le Yao said, "Father said that the higher the position, the heavier the burden one carries, and the more cautious one must be."

Her words paused, and she looked at Ji Mo and smiled, "My husband always reminds us of this."

Ji Mo turned his head to meet her gaze, his eyes filled with tenderness. The two of them looked at each other, their eyes filled with confusion and attraction.

"Cough! Cough!"

Wu Wang almost choked!

Ji Mo and Le Yao blushed at the same time, and they both averted their gazes, but Le Yao held Ji Mo even tighter.

Wu Wang looked at the figure outside the window and said slowly, "Regarding the matter with the Pori Demon Sect, since Brother Ji hasn't spoken to me about it, I won't interfere too much. I believe you can handle it properly.

I came here this time to deal with the Ten Calamities Palace.

This is not an enemy that any sect can handle alone. Although they don't have many transcendent realm experts, they have the means to summon the incarnation of the Evil God.

Removing the Ten Calamities Palace is the current top priority of the Renhuang Pavilion."

After a pause, Wu Wang looked at Ji Mo and smiled, "If Brother Ji thinks the problem is too difficult, just call me at any time. Helping the Pori Demon Sect once will be my wedding gift to the two of you."

Ji Mo said, "Then I won't say thank you."

"You two can continue being lovey-dovey."

Wu Wang stood up and adjusted his robe. "I'll go make some noise."

Ji Mo immediately signaled for Le Yao to get up, and he lay flat on the bed, taking a deep breath, making his face pale and his breathing weak.

Le Yao looked at this scene in surprise and couldn't help but praise, "Husband, you're so good at acting?"

"Well, um..."

Suddenly, cold sweat broke out on Ji Mo's forehead!

In case his wife asked where he learned such acting skills, he definitely couldn't say that he learned it from playing with the girls at the Flower Pavilion for many years...

"Husband, you've really suffered."

Le Yao's eyes were full of tenderness as she softly said, "You used to be a straightforward and unyielding person, but today you have to endure such suffering and pretend to be sick to confuse the enemy. Yao'er doesn't know what I can do to share the burden with you."

Ji Mo said warmly, "For the stability of the Human Realm, my sacrifices are not important."

Bang!

Wu Wang, who was about to leave, forgot to pull the door and bumped into the door frame.

"It's okay, it's okay! You two continue! Um... have many children and a prosperous family!"

Wu Wang rushed out of the door, afraid that if he stayed a few more breaths, he would not be able to resist using the Yan Emperor's command to fulfill their wishes!

He turned around and put the wooden door back in place, stepping out of the barrier set by the Great Elder. Wu Wang's expression instantly changed.

—His face was calm like water, with a hint of coldness in his eyes, and his hands behind his back clenched slightly.

In front of him, the Great Elder and the Celestial Sword Taoist stood on either side. The sub-chiefs of the Renhuang Pavilion, several officials, and a group of Renhuang Pavilion experts were lined up.

"Let's discuss matters."

Except for the three transcendent realm experts, the immortals immediately followed orders. The representatives from the Pori Demon Sect were secretly shocked when they saw this.

...

During the discussion, Wu Wang, the acting deputy chief of the Punishment Hall, raged with anger.

Search "pawread.com" for the original.

He found a random reason and scolded the sub-chiefs of this branch and the experts of the Pori Demon Sect.

Half a day later.

Tens of thousands of immortal soldiers near the main hall of the Renhuang Pavilion were mobilized and rushed to the branch where Wu Wang was currently located.

The branches of the Renhuang Pavilion all began to conduct strict inspections, and the infamous Ten Calamities Palace became the talk of the town.

Various sects responded to the call of the Renhuang Pavilion and searched for the traces of the Ten Calamities Palace's members within hundreds of miles near their own sect gates.

At this moment, Wu Wang faintly felt that he was sitting in the position of the chess player.

Although he couldn't see the size of the chessboard or who his opponent was, both sides had already taken their first moves.

The opponent launched a surprise attack, trying to muddy the waters.

Wu Wang immediately responded, deciding to strike fear into the enemy.

He selected two locations from the Ten Calamities Palace strongholds that Yang Wudi had found earlier and directly mobilized a large number of immortal soldiers to completely besiege them overnight.

The captured old members of the Ten Calamities Palace were publicly executed;

As for those "new" members who were captured and transformed by the blood pool, the Renhuang Pavilion detained them and would seek a way to restore them.At the same time, news of Ji Mo's severe injury, which destroyed his foundation and limited his cultivation to only True Immortal, spread throughout the Human Realm.

Ji's grandmother was furious and went to the Renhuang Pavilion to request assistance, intending to send hundreds of thousands of immortal soldiers to search for the whereabouts of the Ten Calamities Palace.

The closed-door Liu Sect Master personally intervened and advised for a long time before Ji's grandmother calmed down.

[The Renhuang Pavilion promised the Ji family that they would give them an explanation within three years and eliminate the power of the Ten Calamities Palace that plotted against the Ji family's young master within ten years.]

Ji's grandmother knew the true situation of Ji Mo.

This was just a play arranged by Wu Wang.

In this way, the Renhuang Pavilion's actions and the discovery of the Ten Calamities Palace's hideouts could all be reasonably explained.

Half a month later.

In a large hall covered by an array in the Renhuang Pavilion.

There were piles of jade talismans in front of Wu Wang. These were all stored by the Renhuang Pavilion, related to the recent disputes of the Pori Demon Sect.

To make an effective judgment, it was necessary to obtain enough information and evidence. Speculation alone was not accurate.

Wu Wang had been reading the records for half a month and quietly absorbing divine power.

At this moment, Wu Wang held a jade talisman in his hand and smiled.

Beside him, Celestial Sword Taoist asked in a gentle voice, "Do you have a way to find the main hall of the Ten Calamities Palace?"

The Great Elder also looked concerned.

"The main hall is not easy to find," Wu Wang said, "but I have a general idea of who our opponent is."

"Who?"

"Qiong Qi."

Wu Wang slowly uttered these two words.

The Great Elder frowned, "Has someone like Xue Kailong been controlled again?"

Wu Wang said, "That cannot be confirmed. Qiong Qi's methods are not limited to invading others' primordial spirits. He only needs to suggest and provoke, leaving no trace behind.

But from the case files, there are still some anomalies.

Under what circumstances would the Tianhuo Sect treat the Renhuang Pavilion's orders as worthless and seek revenge against the Pori Demon Sect?

This itself is a loophole."

Celestial Sword immediately said, "Should we summon the Tianhuo Sect now?"

"That would be too easy to alert the enemy," Wu Wang asked, "Do you remember what Qiong Qi did the last time he harmed the Human Realm?"

"It controlled the minds of cultivators and turned them into puppet soldiers."

Celestial Sword sighed, "At that time, there was no Ten Calamities Palace yet. Qiong Qi, with its divine abilities, caused chaos in a corner of the Human Realm, resulting in the deaths and injuries of thousands of immortals and the loss of more than ten Transcendents.

It was because of this that Qiong Qi was listed as the number one of the Ten Evil Gods and was hunted down by His Majesty several times.

What you said, Wu Wang, is quite similar to the initial situation of Qiong Qi's previous disturbances, which led to the conflict between the Pori Demon Sect and the Tianhuo Sect."

Wu Wang said, "That's why the Renhuang Pavilion must be firm when necessary."

The Great Elder asked, "Master, what should we do next?"

Wu Wang pondered for a moment and said slowly:

"We will proceed in three steps simultaneously.

The first step is to continue pressuring the Ten Calamities Palace. The Renhuang Pavilion will spread news everywhere, focusing on discussing the Golden Qiong Qi Award.

Qiong Qi, this evil god, has a weakness in that he is easily provoked.

We will press on his previous wound and use a little force. He will definitely retaliate more vigorously.

We are not afraid of his big actions, but we are afraid that he will hide and be too patient, causing us to face unexpected consequences."

Celestial Sword nodded slowly and began writing the jade talisman for communication.

Wu Wang continued, "The second step relies on Yang Wudi. We need to establish contact with him and assist him in finding the exact location of the Fourth Main Hall.

Qiong Qi only harms others through his avatars, and if we capture his avatar, it will only damage a strand of his divine soul.

To achieve real results, we still need to eliminate the Ten Calamities Palace's main hall. Yang Wudi's involvement is crucial."

The Great Elder, deep in thought, immediately said, "I will take care of this matter. I will think about how to contact Wudi and determine his whereabouts."

Celestial Sword asked, "What is the third step?"

"Drawing the snake out of its hole."

Wu Wang tapped the table with his finger, a habit he had developed while in the North Wilderness, and said slowly:

"Under our control, we will add fuel to the conflict between the Pori Demon Sect and the Tianhuo Sect, allowing the Ten Calamities Palace to see that if they can make these two sects fight each other, it will trigger a series of conflicts between the immortal and demonic paths."

The Great Elder wondered, "Will the Ten Calamities Palace fall for it?"

"We don't need to consider whether the Ten Calamities Palace will fall for it at all."

Wu Wang smiled, "The most important thing is whether Qiong Qi will fall for it. Will it see this as a good opportunity?

This evil god spent half a year wiping out all the spies within the Renhuang Pavilion, which is enough to show that it doesn't care about human lives, divine children, or the Ten Calamities Palace.

They are all just pawns!

Even if it is matched with all the elites of the Ten Calamities Palace, as long as it can stir up chaos in the Human Realm, it will complete its mission and go to the Heavenly Palace to claim credit.

Qiong Qi doesn't care about the life or death of the Ten Calamities Palace at all."

Celestial Sword and the Great Elder exchanged glances, each bowed and took their leave, turning to call for messengers outside the hall.

Wu Wang stretched his neck and continued to search through the jade talismans, checking for any mistakes or omissions.

Shaking the mountain to frighten the tiger, the art of provocation, the strategy of sowing discord, drawing the snake out of its hole.

As more and more pieces were added to the chessboard, how should the black shadow sitting across from him respond?

What character flaws could be exploited in this kind of evil god with Qiong Qi's personality?

While reading the case files, Wu Wang pondered these questions and glanced at the crystal ball in his sleeve, secretly observing the divine souls of all the experts in this branch of the Renhuang Pavilion.The divine soul is no different, Brother Ji's divine soul color is still so unique...

Clearly, after being severely defeated last time, Qiong Qi has become more cautious in his actions.

Three days passed like this.

Except for the Great Elder who was unable to contact Yang Wudi, the other strategies arranged by Wu Wang were steadily implemented.

All over the Human Realm, a 'Qiong Qi fever' was stirred up again. The cultivators were discussing the many details of the 'Golden Qiong Qi Award Event' during their leisure time and cultivation breaks.

The Broken Sun Sect and those immortal sects continued to hold their life-and-death arena, widely distributing 'invitations', inviting experts from the Human Realm to witness, quickly stirring up momentum.

Of course, Wu Wang couldn't allow the disputes between immortals and demons to rise again, subtly guiding the cultivators' opinions, defining this incident as a personal grudge.

However, what Wu Wang didn't expect was a small accident, which caused a slight deviation in his layout.

"Report--"

A celestial soldier swiftly crossed the hall, knelt on one knee, clasped his fists, and shouted:

"Reporting to the Palace Master! We have newly breached a den of the Ten Calamities Palace and captured a group of villains from the Ten Calamities Palace! Among them is the bald man who severely injured Young Master Ji Mo!"

Crack!

The jade talisman in Wu Wang's hand was directly crushed, and he glared at the celestial soldier below.

Captured, captured?

Isn't he an inside man? How did he get captured!

"Very... good! Don't kill him, bring him to me for personal interrogation!"

"Yes!"
