Xing Tian opened his eyes and found himself lying on a large bed. His hands and feet were not bound, but his body couldn't move.

His divine soul was sealed.

He saw narrow cave walls and a blue curtain hanging from the cave ceiling, like an ordinary bedroom in a cave.

Suddenly, a harsh sound of sharpening knives came from the side, each scrape felt like it was rubbing against Xing Tian's nerves, making his whole body shiver.

Xing Tian widened his eyes, and the strongest part of his body, his neck, trembled slightly, gaining some ability to move. He turned his head to look at the source of the noise.

That little girl, Dongfang Mumu, was holding up her sleeves and pressing a dagger against a whetstone, sliding it back and forth in a leisurely manner.

Seemingly sensing Xing Tian's gaze, Dongfang Mumu looked up at him. A mischievous smile appeared on her innocent and lovely face.

"Goo--"

Xing Tian's throat trembled, feeling like he could speak. He hoarsely shouted, "What... what are you doing!"

"Hehe~"

"Mumu, come and kill the fish after sharpening the knife."

Lin Suqing's soft voice came from outside the cave, relieving Xing Tian.

He heard Lin Suqing complaining, "The young master always says that only fish cut open with a blade have that kind of taste. Cleaning them with magic power makes them too clean. Isn't it better to be clean?"

"Hehe, why are there so many things to do? Let him do it himself."

"Don't bother him with such things. He is the lord of the palace and should focus on the affairs of the Human Realm. Our job is to take care of the lord and let him concentrate."

"Tch, he's always thinking about how to be lazy!"

"Hey, don't say that about the young master. He has done many great things."

Xing Tian lay on the stone bed for a moment, shouting, "Brother! Let me get up!"

The conversation outside instantly disappeared, and the entrance of the cave was covered with a soundproof barrier.

"Here I am!"

Xing Tian shouted, "Teacher! Save me!"

In front of the stone path leading to the Fallen Treasure Hall, the Great Elder and the transcendent who escorted Xing Tian were walking towards a stone table not far away, chatting and laughing.

After a while.

"Brother! Teacher! I'm angry!"

Xing Tian's voice was almost hoarse, but there was still no response.

When has Xing Tian ever suffered such grievances?

Lying on the stone bed, Xing Tian became angrier and more annoyed the more he thought about it. Finally, he yawned and fell asleep with his eyes closed.

Hmph, I'll gather my strength and settle the score with them later!

In the main hall of the cave, on the round platform in the water pool.

Wu Wang, Ji Mo, Lin Qi, Le Yao, and the wise elder invited by Wu Wang, looked at Xing Tian's sleeping face through the mirror opened by the wise elder...

Ji Mo smiled, "His state of mind is really strong. He can fall asleep directly like this."

Wu Wang lay back on the soft cushion, hands behind his head, and said leisurely, "In terms of mentality, besides Xing Tian, I have never admired anyone else."

Lin Qi's face showed joy, "I must learn from this hero from the North Wilderness later."

The wise elder picked up a spirit fruit seed, lightly opened her vermilion lips, bit the seed shell with her white teeth, making a crisp sound, and elegantly placed the seed shell aside.

She said, "Where were we just now? His sister is on her way here to marry you. You don't want to hurt the relationship between the two families, but you also want to decisively reject this woman without making her feel too sad?"

"That's right," Wu Wang smiled, "Do you have any clever ideas, wise elder?"

"Saying it face to face is the best way," the wise elder said calmly, "There are so many unresolved feelings in the world that are caused by not speaking clearly face to face. Like this elder, when I see those men who are attentive, most of the time, it only takes one look or a cold laugh."

Ji Mo laughed, "Why not let the elder give Lin Xiong a demonstration?"

"Wife!"

Le Yao scolded, "You're making it difficult for the wise sister."

Wu Wang looked at the two women on both sides of the low table... The friendship between women is really strange. They just met each other.

Lin Qi also said, "Teacher, it's better to explain this matter face to face."

Ji Mo said, "I think it's better to invite Ling Xianzi to come and help later, so that this little sister can give up completely."

The wise elder asked, "Isn't that causing conflicts between Ling Saintess and this little sister for no reason?"

"That's right," Wu Wang said in a slow voice, "Upon careful consideration, any unnecessary complications will cause trouble."

"Teacher," Lin Qi pondered for a moment, and said slowly, "When this little sister comes, she might be lacking companionship. I'll let Yi Er San Si accompany her, so as not to waste your energy."

Wu Wang and Ji Mo turned their heads to look at Lin Qi at the same time, their gazes were quite complicated.

Le Yao asked, "Who are Yi Er San Si?"

Ji Mo whispered, "Lin Xiong's maidservants, the four sisters who look the same... Why did you name them Yi Er San Si? Isn't this..."

"It's hard to distinguish them, right?"

Lin Qi asked in return, "Do they have to be named Spring, Summer, Autumn, Winter, Plum, Orchid, Bamboo, and Chrysanthemum?"

Wu Wang laughed, "Unique and distinctive, very characteristic. But you also have to consider the thoughts of the four sisters, after all, they are girls."

Lin Qi smiled, "When they got these names, they cried with excitement. Teacher, don't worry, they really like them!"

"Are you sure they are..."

"Master!"

Suddenly, Mao Aowu's shout came from outside the cave, "Guess who I brought with me!"

Wu Wang swept his spiritual sense outside and saw Celestial Sword Taoist and more than ten Renhuang Pavilion disciples. He thought they were here to escort Xiao Gu Duo.

But after looking a few times, he couldn't find Xiao Gu Duo's figure at all.

Wu Wang gestured for everyone to get up and went to the entrance of the cave barefoot, casually pushing open the two thick doors.Mao Aowu bowed forward eagerly and greeted respectfully. This silver-haired demonic cultivator had made significant progress in his cultivation recently, and his appearance seemed younger than before, with his silver hair now reaching his shoulders.

He happily said, "Master! The supervisors have come to replace the previous inspection team. They will stay in our sect for cultivation from now on! I took the liberty to bring them directly here.

Master, this is Celestial Sword Taoist, the powerful expert from our Renhuang Pavilion!"

Wu Wang:...

Celestial Sword Taoist smiled and nodded lightly at Wu Wang.

The ten or so supervisors seemed to have discussed it beforehand. They all shook their hands at the same time, and suddenly there were more than ten trays, each filled with the commonly used jade talismans of the Renhuang Pavilion.

Three days!

Only three days!

What does this mean for the Renhuang Pavilion? Wherever he is, the Hall of Punishment will be there too!

This Liu Bairen must have done it on purpose! The Hall of Punishment can operate on its own!

"Mao Brother."

Wu Wang revealed a warm smile and reached out to hold Mao Aowu's arm, speaking gently, "From now on, you will lose your salary and the sect's offerings for the next twenty years."

"What?"

Mao Aowu looked shocked, "Master, do you also control the salary of the Renhuang Pavilion?"

"No, I don't, but I am familiar with the Hall of Immortals' Master."

Wu Wang snorted and walked back to his cave with his hands behind his back, not bothering to close the door.

"Suqing, prepare a few more pairs of chopsticks and kill a few more spirit fish! We have guests at home!"

Lin Suqing poked her head out from the inner cave and answered.

Mao Aowu opened his mouth, quickly followed after Wu Wang, and kept saying, "Master, you can't do this!"

"Master, I promised the girls from the Drunken Fragrance Tower to help them redeem themselves!"

"Master, this is unreasonable! How can you just deduct like that! I don't have enough spirit stones to begin with! Please don't do this, Master!"

Celestial Sword Taoist smiled as he watched this scene and gestured for the supervisors to enter the cave together.

These experts from the Renhuang Pavilion who usually helped Wu Wang were not at all reserved at the moment. They entered the cave with laughter and conversation, praising the residence of the Lord.

They came here not just to give Wu Wang something to do, but indeed had important matters to report.

After Lin Qi and Ji Mo made some arrangements and laid stone slabs on the water pool, and set up tables and chairs, Wu Wang invited the Great Elder and Xing Tian's teacher to sit down. Celestial Sword Taoist then began to talk about the main purpose of their visit.

"Lord..."

"Ah, don't call me Lord," Wu Wang said calmly, "I have resigned from my official position and returned to the sect. You should call me Wu Wang, the Master of Wu Wang Sect."

"Then, Wu Wang!"

Celestial Sword Taoist threw the hairband on his chest behind him. There was an indescribable charm in the white hair at his temples.

He said seriously, "Wu Wang, Master wants me to ask for your opinion on something."

"What is it?"

Celestial Sword Taoist said, "The five divine children want the Human Realm to send troops."

"Send troops? To the north?"

Wu Wang frowned slightly, quickly entering the 'Hall of Punishment Master mode,' "What did they say?"

"It was one of the women who first had a mental breakdown."

Celestial Sword Taoist calmly recounted, "The murderers from the Fourth Total Hall, all those who have shed blood, will be executed by beheading.

Following your instructions, we locked them together with the five divine children in adjacent places the night before the execution, so that the divine children could see them, but they couldn't see the divine children.

In the second half of the night, the five divine children couldn't hold on anymore. Two of them attempted suicide but were stopped, and one woman begged us to send troops to rescue the humans who were being raised in the southern border of Zhongshan."

"We can't save them."

Wu Wang immediately said, "We absolutely can't save them. Even if the five divine children really had a mental breakdown, under the current circumstances, those humans can't be saved. We can save them when the time comes, maybe in a thousand years."

Celestial Sword Taoist pondered for a moment, his expression somewhat bitter.

Wu Wang wondered, "What's wrong? Did someone in the Renhuang Pavilion come up with a 'benevolent' plan?"

Celestial Sword Taoist sighed, "It's the two Vice Pavilion Masters. They think that as fellow humans, we should go and rescue them. This way, we can also demonstrate the strength of our Human Realm to the various tribes in the Great Wasteland and attract them to join us."

Wu Wang sighed inwardly. The high-level figures in the Human Realm were indeed still arguing about the issue of 'gathering the power of the human tribes in the Great Wasteland.'

Ji Mo snorted, "Then let them go."

Wu Wang threw the chopsticks in his hand and wondered, "Are they so brainless that they can't see through such an obvious trap? Or do they really think they can easily manipulate the Heavenly Palace?"

Lin Qi said, "If they send troops for this matter, I, Lin Family, will be the first to oppose it."

Celestial Sword Taoist hurriedly said, "The Lord also suppressed this matter and reprimanded the two Vice Pavilion Masters. Anyone can see that this is a trap.

Even if the five divine children didn't have any ulterior motives, as long as we send troops, the Heavenly Palace will definitely respond. But Wu Wang, within the sect, there is another voice regarding this matter..."

Wu Wang picked up the chopsticks, took a bite of the sour and numbing fish, and said calmly, "They must be saying that the Heavenly Palace wants to show weakness and intensify our internal conflicts. As long as we send troops, they will definitely present us with the fruits of victory."

"That's right."

"Strategies are dead, but people are alive!"

Wu Wang's eyes were full of emotion. He felt that there was really no connection between cultivation realm and strategic level.

"While they are calculating, the Poverty-stricken Qiong Qi has been planning for a long time. They want to create internal conflicts within the Human Realm and weaken our strength. When they launch the decisive battle, they will suffer less damage.

If we send troops to the northern border, it won't be a full-scale advance. They will take advantage of this and achieve their goal of weakening the Human Realm.

The Heavenly Palace won't let go of such a good opportunity. They are plotting to cause chaos, and the effect is still unknown. As long as the army sent by the Human Realm is captured, the credit is guaranteed.

Deputy Deity of Lifespan is responsible to the Heavenly Emperor and also seeks achievements."The Celestial Sword Taoist nodded thoughtfully, saying, "I will relay these words immediately."

"No rush, let's eat first."

Wu Wang said seriously, "Later, you can relay my opinion to Elder Liu like this: we can first send some experts who are good at hiding their tracks to Central Mountain to find the hometowns of these villains.

At the same time, they can scout the terrain and military deployment of Central Mountain, preparing for His Majesty's northern expedition in a thousand years.

This way, we can kill two birds with one stone and also shut those people up."

Wu Wang paused, looked at the Great Elder, and laughed:

"Elder Liu is very clear about this, but there are some things that Renhuang Pavilion cannot say openly. In the future, my Punishment Hall should not have such kind-hearted people who have nowhere to place their love and like to be generous on behalf of others."

The Celestial Sword Taoist also laughed, "Master, are you still talking about resigning? The four words 'Punishment Hall' are quite smooth."

"Did I say that?"

Wu Wang yawned, "Why did I get drunk after a few bites of drunken fish today?"

The table full of male and female cultivators all laughed.

……

The Celestial Sword Taoist and his party really settled down in the Mysterious Female Sect with great fanfare.

The cultivators of the Mysterious Female Sect quickly discovered that the ones closest to their sect master's residence were all 'outsiders', which made many female disciples of the Black Desire Gate quite dissatisfied.

When the Celestial Sword Taoist first arrived, he only used those case sect jade symbols to scare Wu Wang, and did not really bring the many affairs of the Punishment Hall to the Mysterious Female Sect.

Otherwise, just the matter of transmitting jade symbols would incur a huge expense.

The purpose of the Celestial Sword Taoist's trip was purely to serve as Wu Wang's guard.

Renhuang Pavilion was worried that Qiong Qi would retaliate against Wu Wang, and felt that the Great Elder, a newly promoted Transcendent, might not be up to the task, so they moved the Celestial Sword Taoist, this 'brick', here.

Don't underestimate this 'brick' that can be moved wherever it is needed.

It is basically confirmed within Renhuang Pavilion that after the great breakthrough in swordsmanship, the Celestial Sword Taoist will become the next master of Renhuang Pavilion.

In another ten or twenty thousand years, when Liu Bairen's lifespan is exhausted, the Celestial Sword Taoist can take over.

As for the affairs of the Punishment Hall... as Wu Wang said, there are many capable people in the Human Realm, and it is not that without Wu Wang and the Celestial Sword Taoist, it cannot be done.

Before the arrival of the ancient wave in the Human Realm, Wu Wang had a rare half-month of peace.

He practiced every day, continuously absorbing divine power, strolling around the sect in the early morning or evening, and appreciating the passing female disciples of the Black Desire Gate.

The leisurely life of the young master of North Wilderness is nothing more than that.

Lin Suqing's hands became more and more dexterous, continuing to run wildly on the small roads of cooking, making tea, making beds, and sewing clothes, which made Wu Wang a little embarrassed and offered to give her a raise.

Xing Tian was always locked in that inner cave, waiting for the reunion with Little Guduo.

Wu Wang was worried that Little Guduo would encounter any dangers on the road, so he asked Mao Aowu to lead the experts of Renhuang Pavilion to meet them on the road.

During this time, Wu Wang also actively contacted his mother, asking about the matter of the Heavenly Palace sending people to investigate the Star God Church.

Lady Cang Xue... almost forgot about this matter.

The Heavenly Palace began to suspect North Wilderness, which is what Wu Wang is most worried about at the moment; his mother also said that her true divine body is outside the sky and has not yet returned.

The safety of his mother and his clan made Wu Wang really worried.

'What can I do for them?'

This is a question Wu Wang asks himself every day.

Finally, a transmission jade symbol fell back into Wu Wang's hands, but it was a personal letter from Fairy Ling.

It wrote that she would soon come to live in the Mysterious Female Sect for a long time, and asked Wu Wang to help her arrange a few clean houses, and several experts in the door would stay here for a while.

Wu Wang naturally attached great importance to this, as it was a matter of improving his cultivation and Dao realm.

He ordered people to build several suspended pavilions on the edge of the cliff and inside the mountain protection array, so as to minimize the impact of the turbid air on the people of the Mysterious Female Sect.

A few days later, the pavilions were completed, and Wu Wang replied to Ling Xiaolan, saying that everything here was ready.

Just a moment after he sent out the transmission jade symbol, two transmission jade symbols fell back at the same time.

One was from Ling Xiaolan, and the other was from Mao Aowu.

The jade symbol from Ling Xiaolan wrote:

【I met a group from the Mysterious Female Sect on the way and will come with them. The elders in the door are a bit dissatisfied. If they say something wrong later, please bear with me, Brother Wu Wang. They are just worried about me and have some misunderstandings.】

The jade symbol from Mao Aowu was much simpler:

【Master! Come quickly! Your first and second wives are about to fight!】

Crack!

Wu Wang directly crushed the jade symbol in his hand, and his whole person was swallowed by black lines, standing in front of the cave for a long time without moving.

The newly placed sparrows and swans at the door seemed to come alive, laughing wildly.
