After realizing she had been tricked, Ning Qingyan almost died of rage.
This guy had actually ambushed her!
How despicable!
In front of Tang Yu's skill, comparable to that of an artist undressing,
Ning Qingyan's magical robe had already disappeared without a trace.
"What are you doing, idiot? You tricked me!"
Ning Qingyan pushed Tang Yu forcefully, her face as red as a steam engine.
This guy was truly wicked, he even dared to deceive her.
"What's wrong? Did you think I brought you here to take advantage of you?"
Tang Yu, while holding her, played with her hair and asked.
"And if not, then what?"
Ning Qingyan's eyes, filled with spiritual aura, showed slight anger.
"Are you stupid? If I urgently wanted to devour you, I wouldn't have to be here. When the war ends and you return to the Maiden Sect, I'll have plenty of time to find you."
Tang Yu kissed her on the cheek and said, "I'm worried about you."
"Worried about me?"
"Yes, you haven't reached the Divine Transformation Realm yet, and you've already been in danger several times on the battlefield, right?
If it weren't for some supreme elders watching over you, something would have happened to you already."
"Yes, there have been some dangerous situations, but I have my hidden resources; I'm not as weak as you think."
"How do you know that the demonic cultivators don't have their own hidden resources?"
"Do you know where the information I gave at the meeting today came from?"
"I have informants in the Sea."
"Now your Maiden Sect is the main target of these demonic cultivators, and you're on their bounty list."
Tang Yu said with a serious expression.
After hearing this, Ning Qingyan also felt a chill of fear.
She bit her lips slightly, remembering how that group of demonic elites almost broke the Maiden Sect's defense line.
"That's why you can't keep delaying your advancement to the Divine Transformation Realm. If something happens to you, what will I do? Enter the Sea to avenge you? And then go to the afterlife to be a tragic couple with you?"
Tang Yu hugged this silly sweet girl again, put his hands on his wife's chest and squeezed twice while asking.
"If I die in battle, you don't need to avenge me."
Ning Qingyan shook her head.
Tang Yu increased the pressure of his hand a little more,
making Ning Qingyan frown involuntarily.
He gave this silly girl a pat on the butt and said:
"Stop talking nonsense! My wife is killed and I stay calm? Anyway, I can't let anything happen to you, so we have to prepare in advance. If you don't agree, you can resist, though the more you resist, the more excited I get."
"..."
After an hour passed,
the two came out of the small world.
Tang Yu's face was flushed and he felt revitalized; even his cultivation level showed signs of advancement.
Next to him, Ning Qingyan still had a flushed face, her head full of thoughts about that hour of cultivation.
This guy didn't know where he got such a strange cultivation technique.
He made her try so many weird things on her first time cultivating.
"You're too much…"
Ning Qingyan bit her lips slightly,
looking at Tang Yu with eyes full of complaint.
She felt that this guy had taught her a bunch of strange things.
"It's to help you break the limit, dear."
Tang Yu hugged Ning Qingyan and leaned close to her ear to ask, "Was it okay?"
"Mm…"
Although embarrassed, Ning Qingyan had to admit that yes, it was quite… that.
At the beginning of the cultivation, she felt as if her soul left her body, her body became a puppet, completely under this guy's control.
"By the way, now that you've suddenly advanced, how will you explain it when you return?"
Tang Yu reminded her.
Their relationship still couldn't be discovered, especially by the Maiden Sect.
When his own level became too high to ignore,
the Maiden Sect would want to cling to him, and then it would be another story.
"Um… I'll say I had an epiphany after facing a life-or-death crisis and thus broke the limit."
Ning Qingyan said with a doubtful tone.
She wasn't very good at lying, but after spending so much time with Tang Yu, who seemed like a lotus emerging from the mud without getting stained, she was slowly becoming a little corrupted too.
"Not bad, breaking the limit is good news, they won't have many reasons to suspect so much."
Tang Yu thought that excuse was quite reasonable.
After all, cultivators who risk themselves here come with the intention of tempering themselves.
For a cultivator, every near-death experience is a great transformation.
"Alright, then I'm going."
With that said, Ning Qingyan felt a wave of sadness in her heart.
It was so rare to be together like this, and they already had to part again.
Sometimes she really envied the two girls from the Hehuan Sect, Nangong Ying and the others.
They could stay by this guy's side all the time.
"You go first, later I'll send a big gift to the Maiden Sect."
"What big gift?"
"You'll know later, I should go see them soon."
Tang Yu was a bit mysterious.
"Oh!"
Ning Qingyan replied and turned to leave.
But after a few steps, she ran back to hug Tang Yu, and only then left reluctantly.
After Ning Qingyan left, Tang Yu returned with the members of the Hehuan Sect to organize the next plan.
While Tang Yu went back and forth, after finishing this meeting of sect leaders, each of the great forces received new orders from Wang Yuan, based on the confidential information provided by Tang Yu.
The main forces adjusted their military formations and prepared corresponding countermeasures.
And the four experts in the Integration Realm who were Wang Yuan's martial uncles were also assigned new tasks.
Among them, Yixi, known as the Scholar Assassin, continued to hold the position of general commander.
Yoha and Dando were tasked with ambushing the elite experts of the Sea.
Jicheng was appointed as grand general commander; in case the advantage in the war tilted in favor of the Litang Sect.
He would be responsible for leading everyone in a counterattack against the demon beasts of the Sea, intending to drive them thousands of kilometers away in a single blow.
He had to ensure that the Sea could not recover for a thousand years nor launch another war!
At that moment, Jicheng was sitting on a white cloud, observing the entire Sea from above.
In the vast and endless Sea, there were too many, too many demon beasts.
After tens of thousands of years, they had not been completely exterminated. The blood enmity and hatred between them and the Litang Sect—no amount of water from the Sea could wash away that grudge.
"How can I kill all these creatures?"
Jicheng sighed with melancholy. When he was a child and had not yet cultivated, he already thought about this question.
Now he possessed strength in the Integration Realm.
And that goal was still unreachable?
Just as he sighed, someone was slowly flying toward him sitting on the white cloud from afar. On the cloud sat a handsome young man.
The young man wore a crane robe and a scholar's hat, holding a white feather fan, and sitting on the cloud he looked like an immortal exiled to the mortal world.
"Grand General."
Arriving next to Jicheng floating on the cloud, the young man smiled and greeted him.
"The master has come."
Seeing his old friend, Jicheng smiled slightly.
He was not from the Litang Sect, but came to help during the great war a hundred years ago.
He was a wandering cultivator, and the fact that a wanderer came to support the Litang Sect was extremely rare.
After the war ended, he chose to stay and became a protector of the Litang Sect.
Although they had known each other for many years, Jicheng still did not know his real name, only that his title was the Old Wanderer of Shaoling.
"Have you ever fished, General?"
The Old Wanderer of Shaoling looked toward the Sea and asked.
"I have fished."
Jicheng answered casually.
"Then when fishing, do you use a straight or curved hook?"
The smile on Jicheng's face turned a little resigned: "Curved."
"And does the General's curved hook have bait?"
"Yes."
"What bait does the General use?"
Jicheng slightly moved his lips but did not make any sound.
It was unknown when, but the Old Wanderer of Shaoling already had a fishing rod in hand.
He raised it with force and laughed loudly: "The fish has bitten the hook!"
Jicheng looked at his old friend confused. He never understood what he was thinking.
"I caught a big fish, General, do you want to eat fish?"
The Old Wanderer of Shaoling smiled mischievously, and in his gaze there was an air of mystery.
Jicheng raised an eyebrow and shook his head.
"Don't fool yourself, General. Let me cook the fish for you."
The Old Wanderer of Shaoling laughed loudly, took the fish off the hook and, after pulling out a small knife, cut it open.
The instant the fish was opened, a blinding golden light shot out from its belly.
The Old Wanderer of Shaoling closed his eyes tightly, put his hand inside the fish's belly and pulled out that golden light.
What he took out was a piece of white cloth that radiated golden light.
On the cloth shone four large golden characters. The Old Wanderer of Shaoling, still with eyes closed, unfolded it and said:
"General, my eyes almost went blind. Could you see what is written here?"
Seeing the four ancient characters written there,
Jicheng stared at them for a while and then shook his head.
"I don't recognize them."
The Old Wanderer of Shaoling burst out laughing. His eyes, previously closed, opened suddenly and said: "General, I do recognize these four characters: 'Jicheng King Will Be!'"
Jicheng's face, previously calm, suddenly turned gloomy. He stood up abruptly and stared fixedly at the Old Wanderer of Shaoling.
An invisible murderous aura emanated from his body.
That pressure almost made it hard for the other to breathe.
However, being at the golden core level, he still maintained a calm expression and said, waving his hand:
"General, how do you see the current situation?"
Jicheng thought for a moment and said:
"In terms of military strength, the Sea has a slight advantage, that is 'harmony among people.' In terms of geography, we hold the advantage; in terms of timing, it favors neither side. It is still impossible to know who will win."
"Then, General, to proclaim yourself king in Litang and the Sea, you might need my help."
The Old Wanderer of Shaoling lightly waved his white feather fan, his smile took on an even more enigmatic air.
Jicheng remained silent, his intentions having been discovered.
Everyone knew the founder of the Litang Sect was the Great Emperor Dingzhen.
But, who knew that if it weren't for the help of the ancestor of the Ji family, Dingzhen would not have become an immortal emperor nor founded the Litang Sect?
Tens of thousands of years ago, in the Litang mountain range there was only one king.
And that was his lineage!
