Gao Wu insists on cultivating immortality.

Chapter 333 Nine-Star Dragon Pearl
"They befriended me, taught me secret techniques, and gave me special elixirs. One day I drank too much and somehow ended up participating in a blood sacrifice and even killing someone with my own hands, and that's how it happened..."

Tears streamed down Tie Ying's ugly face. Without Gao Wu asking, she recounted how she became a member of the Demon Cult.

Upon hearing that Tie Ying had personally killed someone, Gao Wu remained expressionless but sighed inwardly once again. Ordinary believers were one thing, but killing someone with one's own hands was an inescapable sin.

The fact that the other party is targeting Tie Ying suggests that they know he learned swordsmanship from the Tie Long Martial Arts School, implying a connection between them.

Such a person may be useful in the future.

This time, kidnapping Song Mingyang was actually a waste of his talents. It was also because Shi Potian was full of confidence and felt that he could easily deal with him.

"You can discuss your matter with the supervisory bureau," Gao Wu said softly.

Upon hearing this, Tie Ying stopped crying and hurriedly pleaded, "Please, give me one more chance, just one more time..."

Before she could finish speaking, everything went black, and she lost consciousness.

Gao Wuzhen felt a little reluctant, so he could only use his mental pressure to make Tie Ying fall into a deep sleep.

That's how ordinary people are; if they're even slightly weak in the face of the temptations of the demonic cult, they'll be easily manipulated. Because of him, Tie Ying probably received special treatment.

However, Tie Ying wasn't as innocent as she claimed. She enjoyed so many benefits, yet she also committed the bad deeds herself.

If it were just about Song Mingyang, Gao Wu could plead for her and save her life.

Once someone is killed, there's not much that can be done. The only recourse is to hand it over to the oversight bureau for processing according to procedure. If it was truly a case of coercion, the sentence may be lenient.

Gao Wu went next door, and the chubby boy Song Mingyang had already been untied.

Tie Ying didn't really mistreat him; she didn't gag him, she just tied his hands and feet.

Song Mingyang was sleeping soundly when he was suddenly woken up. He was still a little groggy. His hands and feet were tied a bit too tightly, and his limbs went numb, so he couldn't help but burst into loud sobs, looking rather pitiful.

Song Mingyue didn't like this younger brother, and she didn't know how to comfort him. She just silently watched the chubby boy cry.

Gao Wu didn't try to comfort him. That's how kids are; the more you try to comfort them, the harder they cry.

When he realized crying wasn't helping, he gradually recovered. After all, being this overweight, he couldn't be as petty as Lin Daiyu, who would bottle up every little thing.

Song Mingyang was actually more afraid of his sister, but he was closer to Gao Wu. When he saw Gao Wu, he immediately stopped crying and asked expectantly, "Brother, can we go home now?"

“Let’s go back now.” Gao Wu smiled. “If you’re not afraid, I can fly you back.”

"I'm not afraid." Song Mingyang knew that Gao Wu was powerful, even though he didn't have a clear concept of it, he often heard his parents talk about how powerful Gao Wu was.

He was quite excited about the opportunity to fly.

He turned around and said in a slightly embarrassed voice, "Brother, I'm a little hungry."

"Hahaha..." Gao Wu took a piece of chocolate from the Xuanlong Ring and handed it to Song Mingyang, "Eat it."

"Wow, magic? Cool!" Song Mingyang's small eyes widened instantly. He didn't see Gao Wu make any move, yet a piece of chocolate appeared in his hand. This shocked and envied him greatly.

"You should practice your martial arts properly; these are just child's play." Gao Wu didn't actually like children, but since the chubby boy had suffered for him, he still had to treat him kindly.

While the chubby boy was eating chocolate, Gao Wu used his source energy to stimulate his blood and muscles, and the tingling sensation caused by poor blood circulation was quickly eliminated.

Taking this opportunity, Gao Wu fed the little fat boy another blue jade bodhi seed.

Giving such a magical object to a chubby boy who hadn't practiced martial arts was actually a huge waste. However, the chubby boy was ultimately implicated and almost lost his life, weighing over 100 pounds.

Here's a blue jade bodhi seed as compensation. But the little fat boy didn't seem to have any reaction after eating it; he just seemed a bit tipsy, like he was drunk.

After a while, the chubby boy looked at Gao Wu longingly, wanting to try that stuff again. Gao Wu couldn't bear it and gave the chubby boy a flick on the forehead.

Gao Wu took Song Mingyang with him, and Song Mingyue carried Tie Ying. The two of them flew back to Dongjiang together.

The chubby boy experienced the thrill of flying high in the sky for the first time. With nothing but emptiness above, below, and to the sides, even without being able to see the ground, the excitement was indescribable.

At first, he was terrified, but after he got used to it, he couldn't help but shout with excitement. Gao Wu realized that this child wasn't just good at eating; he was also quite bold and carefree.

If he practiced martial arts properly, he should be able to surpass Song Yunhe, right?
Song Mingyue went to the Supervisory Bureau, while Gao Wu took Song Mingyang back to the Song family home first. He didn't call Song Yunhe and his wife; taking them back directly was better than anything else. Otherwise, he would have had to explain for a long time over the phone.

Sure enough, when Song Yunhe and his wife saw Song Mingyang come in, they were overjoyed and stood up abruptly. Han Lingxia even hugged her son and burst into tears.

Song Mingyang was still puzzled, not quite understanding why his mother was crying. He was still young and hadn't suffered much hardship, so he couldn't comprehend the potentially disastrous consequences of this kidnapping.

Song Yunhe was calmer than his wife. He checked his son briefly and found him to be lively and unharmed. He then quickly thanked Gao Wu.

“Gao Wu, if you hadn’t come back, this child would have been finished.” Song Yunhe’s voice choked with emotion. His daughter wasn’t close to him, so he doted on his son more.

Otherwise, given the Song family's upbringing, their child wouldn't have turned out like this. "Mingyang is emotionally stable and courageous; he's destined for great things. He'll definitely achieve something great in martial arts as well..."

Following the etiquette of the martial arts world, Gao Wu praised Song Mingyang highly.

Han Lingxia and Song Yunhe were overjoyed. Their son's safe return had already delighted them, and receiving praise from Gao Wu made them even happier.

Both of them were determined to find a strict coach to teach Song Mingyang martial arts starting tomorrow.

Such a martial arts prodigy cannot be wasted in their hands.

The couple warmly urged Gao Wu to stay, and Gao Wu was about to agree when he received a call from Song Chunqiu, inviting him to the Aurora Legion headquarters.

The main reason was that Song Xuetao wanted to see Gao Wu and Song Mingyue to inquire about the details of the fight and to confirm Shi Potian's death.

As a seventh-level bishop, Shi Potian's life or death has an exceptionally significant impact on Beizhou.

When Song Mingyue returned, Gao Wu told Song Yunhe and his wife, and then he and Song Mingyue rushed to the Aurora Legion headquarters overnight.

There was no time to prepare the plane.

Although Gao Wu was physically exhausted, his overall condition was still okay. He and Song Mingyue flew for six hours straight, taking a break along the way.

The sun had only risen halfway over the eastern ice plains when Gao Wu and Song Mingyue arrived at the Aurora Legion headquarters.

Song Chunqiu personally went to the gate to greet the two, and saw that both of them looked tired.

Gao Wu could tell at a glance that Song Chunqiu had reached level six, and he couldn't help but feel happy for the old man.

Considering their condition, Song Chunqiu didn't exchange many pleasantries and first escorted them to their guest rooms to rest and recuperate.

Gao Wu did not refuse and immediately arranged for a room for him to wash up and rest.

He didn't stay at the Song family's house for long, mainly because he had nothing to say to Song Yunhe and the others, and he didn't want to disturb their reunion with the little fat boy.

After sleeping for four hours, Gao Wu woke up at noon. His Yin Spirit still needed some time to recuperate, but his energy and spirit had returned to their peak.

After changing into a white shirt and a neat military uniform, Gao Wu tidied himself up before inviting Song Mingyue to meet Song Xuetao.

Song Mingyue also changed into military uniform. As a member of the third group, she has the rank of colonel.

In the vast military camp, wearing a military uniform was more appropriate for her status. It was her first time meeting her great-grandfather, and formal attire was required. She also removed the sunglasses she always wore.

Gao Wu also checked Song Mingyue's health. "She's fine. Lord Song is very kind. You are his direct descendant and great-granddaughter, so he will definitely like you very much."

Indeed, Song Xuetao was overjoyed to see Song Mingyue. In the eyes of the elders, it was a blessing from heaven that the Song family could produce such a genius!

"Lord Song, Mingyue has advanced to level seven. She deserves great credit for killing Han Dalin and Shi Potian." Gao Wu briefly introduced Song Mingyue's situation. Song Mingyue was too embarrassed to say it herself, so he had to do it for her.

Even with his extensive experience and knowledge, Song Xuetao was still surprised when he heard Gao Wu's introduction. It wasn't that he didn't trust Gao Wu, but the news was simply too astonishing!
At Gao Wu's prompting, Song Mingyue demonstrated her powerful and solid mental energy field to her great-grandfather.

Song Xuetao was extremely experienced, and he immediately recognized that this was the aura of the Origin Force Core.

The old man was both surprised and delighted. He was getting old and felt that he wouldn't last many more years.

The mighty Song family may look impressive, but without a level seven king to oversee it, they would simply be dismantled and devoured.

At this critical juncture, such a young and powerful figure has emerged from the Song family. Truly, heaven has smiled upon them!

Moreover, with Song Mingyue, a level seven king, and Gao Wu, the chances of that thing succeeding are even greater!
Song Xuetao sincerely praised Song Mingyue, and Song Mingyue behaved the same way in front of her great-grandfather, simply responding softly without saying anything else.

Song Xuetao couldn't help but chuckle; such a quiet personality was indeed quite unusual.

As a seventh-level Martial King, one must naturally command everything. The inability to communicate verbally is a major problem. Fortunately, Song Mingyue is young, and communication skills are much simpler than martial arts; with a little practice, she can master them.

The old man said to Gao Wu, "Dealing with Han Dalin and Shi Potian has greatly relieved the pressure on Beizhou."

"Especially Shi Potian, it was because of his support from the outside that he was able to continuously provide coordinates to the White Crow King, allowing the opponent's divine power to continuously infiltrate the Northern Continent."

"Now that we've dealt with Shi Potian, we can join forces to do something big. If successful, it will greatly benefit Beizhou..."

Gao Wu respectfully said, "Please enlighten me, Lord Song."

Song Xuetao knew that Gao Wu was just being polite. This young man had even killed two seventh-level bishops. What audacity!
He suppressed his smile and said seriously, "The Aurora Icefield connects several secret realms, the most important of which is the second secret realm, where tens of millions of white-haired werewolves have gathered into a tribe, and two level seven bishops are in charge."

"Tens of millions of believers maintained the divine altar, opening a passage to a stable space on the ice plains."

"On the divine altar there is an extremely powerful divine object, a nine-star dragon pearl..."
