Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 176 Beating Up the Master's Wife, Luring the Tiger Away from the Mountain

Lu Wubing quickly settled everyone in, then led his eighteen disciples and recruited some people from the Mingxin Hall.

They traveled by waterway along the Luo River, landing in Changshan County, and then followed the official road directly to Mingyang.

More than thirty horse-drawn carriages arrived at the foot of Tianxing Peak in a grand procession.

The journey was uneventful, and no one tried to rob us.

Presumably, Lu Wubing's ruthless methods of killing and wiping people in Donghai County frightened some people.

People in the martial arts world are used to seeking profit and avoiding harm. Small gangs and factions would usually give way as soon as they saw the banner of the Tianxing Sect.

The Zhu family and the Pai Gang members also temporarily hid their heads and did not appear in front of Lu Wubing.

It's unclear whether they are truly convinced or simply choosing to endure it for the time being.

Lu Wubing didn't care much about what others thought. He only knew that as long as his sword was sharp enough, sooner or later, everyone and everything he encountered in this world would be good people and good deeds.

"Master's wife."

From afar, one could see Master's wife Qin Huaiying, dressed in a sky-blue Taoist robe, standing on a rock and gazing into the distance, with hundreds of junior disciples behind her.

Upon seeing the convoy, everyone cheered.

Lu Wubing hurriedly went to greet them, looked around, and sure enough, he didn't see his master Ouyang Zheng and his senior sister Xiao Lan.

Second Senior Brother and Sixth Senior Brother are not here either.

As for the eldest brother, his three-month period of seclusion hasn't ended yet, and it's unknown whether he's still in the peach grove.

Lu Wubing even discovered that none of the dozen or so disciples he had trained who had remained on the mountain and mastered the [Flowing Sword Style] were among those he had not seen.

These are all junior disciples.

Of course, there were also about two hundred new faces.

Judging from the looks of it, they had been found somewhere down the mountain and had just joined the sect. Their eyes were full of hope, but also a little apprehensive.

It must have been after I set off for Dongjun that my master and mistress strictly implemented the decision to expand the number of disciples. As long as they saw a promising talent and determined that the person was of good character, they would be taken into the sect.

Cultivation can be practiced gradually, and swordsmanship can be learned gradually as well.

The number of people must be increased first.

In any case, after Lu Wubing became the young sect leader, the situation of Tianxing Sect was much better than before.

It's not just about reputation...

In terms of money, food, and medicine, things have truly taken on a grand and impressive appearance.

Maintaining several thousand disciples is not a big burden.

"Why are you in such a hurry to come back, child? Your master and mistress aren't old yet. This time, they went through a series of fierce battles in Dongjun. How dangerous must it have been..."

Upon hearing the letter that had been sent back, Qin Huaiying had already guessed that his little disciple was probably not entirely at ease with the Tianxing Sect.

In Dongjun, he acted swiftly and decisively, confronting all enemies head-on... earning a reputation that shook the surrounding areas.

This approach is not impossible, but it is extremely dangerous to execute.

If you encounter a truly formidable enemy, a single misstep can lead to immediate predicament.

At that time, with the mountains and rivers far away and no reinforcements, it doesn't matter whether Mingxintang in Dongjun is lost or not; the key issue is that their safety is hard to guarantee.

"Isn't everything alright? Don't be fooled by their prestigious families and maritime expertise; they're all paper tigers. Once you scare them, they'll all be very docile."

Lu Wubing chuckled and joked with his master's wife, then said seriously, "Actually, it's not that dangerous."

The Zhu and Cui families are both powerful and wealthy; they are only after money and will not risk their entire fortune to fight to the death with our martial arts sects.

Once they realize that we are a tough nut to crack, they will naturally weigh the pros and cons and seek negotiations.

We don't need to care too much about what they think; we just need to demonstrate our strength.

As for the ronin of the East Sea…

Lu Wubing frowned slightly.

He didn't really understand what those Dongyi people were thinking.

It appears they are plundering coastal cities, but it also seems there is some kind of tacit understanding between them.

The most likely explanation is that something went wrong with Prince Gong, who was known as the "King of Southeast Zhenhai".

If things go wrong, the other party might choose a time when to pull off a big stunt.

Lu Wubing was reluctant to speak frankly about the specifics.

Let's take it one step at a time and send out as many people as possible to gather information before deciding how to respond.

"Leaving aside those aristocratic families, this time, my disciple has gained a lot in Dongjun... Let's move these medicines and gold and silver up the mountain first."

Lu Wubing then recounted what he had gained from this experience.

Qin Huaiying could hardly believe her ears.

The money from these medicines could be enough to support three Tianxing Sects.

No wonder the young apprentice had already devised a plan to expand the army.

With sufficient resources, and the ability to quickly improve one's cultivation and swordsmanship, one can become a combat force immediately.

As long as the number of people in the Heavenly Star Sect can keep up, it can become the number one sect in the world in a very short time.

Before the enemy can react, thousands of sword masters will flood into the battlefield.

Let alone just protecting Mingyang's small territory, other things are also within our reach.

Thinking about how the Tianxing Sect had been assigned to be worn down by the imperial court over the years, its strength had become weaker and weaker, and its number of experts had become fewer and fewer, Qin Huaiying was actually holding a grudge.

Sometimes, when faced with two evils, choose the lesser one.

In the eyes of the world, they were eagerly running around for the imperial court, rushing to the front line to resist the Northern Zhou and the Demonic Sect.

In reality, it was entirely beyond their control.

The imperial court, under any circumstances, would not allow the Tianxing Sect to produce another "Imperial Preceptor".

They couldn't even tolerate the rumor that the Great Li Dynasty had succeeded with the help of the Heavenly Star Sect.

In some people's eyes, the declining, or even exterminated, Tianxing Sect is the good Tianxing Sect.

The kindness is too great; I can't repay it.

Once the benefactor dies, there's no need to repay them anymore.

That's it.

The imperial court's overt and covert targeting was beyond anything the world could imagine.

"No illness."

Overwhelmed with emotion, Qin Huaiying's eyes welled up with tears. She quickly and secretly covered her face with her sleeve to wipe away the tears, and said with a smile, "The old man is always pretending to be a chivalrous hero outside, but I told you, only this time was he truly right."

"Having such a good disciple as you is a blessing for the Tianxing Sect, and also a blessing for your master and me."

"What are you saying, Master's wife? It is Wubing's good fortune to be able to become a disciple of the Heavenly Star Sect."

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Lu Wubing then inquired about the matter of Liyang City.

"Does Master need reinforcements? The demonic sect experts are ruthless; even the Bright Moon Sect has suffered heavy losses. What about our fellow disciples who went there..."

"You're worried about your senior sister Xiaolan, aren't you? There's really no need for that. That girl..."

When Ouyang Lan was mentioned, Qin Huaiying couldn't help but smile.

For some reason, there was a hint of sourness in his words: "For the first eighteen years, the girl seemed to have never learned anything, but these days, I don't know how, she's made a leap forward in her swordsmanship. Wubing, guess what?"

She learned the Seven Kill Sword Technique in seven days and then spent ten days learning the Purple Star Divine Sword.

Then, after a nap, she simultaneously mastered both sword techniques, as well as the Yao Guang Sword Technique. I wonder how she did it?

"So, her [Flowing Light Sword Style] should have reached the perfect state? Able to generate thunderous sound with her sword and unleash her hidden power?"

"How did you guess that?"

Qin Huaiying was greatly surprised.

She saw it and was so surprised that she couldn't sleep for several days.

After practicing swordsmanship with his daughter for several days to solidify the results, he had to admit that his daughter's swordsmanship level had actually surpassed his own in some aspects.

Without comparing the subtle understanding of each move or technique, or even the difference in internal strength, if we only consider swordsmanship attack power, Ouyang Lan is already stronger than her mother.

Lu Wubing laughed upon hearing this.

What did Senior Sister Xiaolan say?

She has a peculiar talent.

Sometimes, their naivety and innocence leave one speechless; other times, they demonstrate a profound understanding of certain techniques.

It's impossible to guess what's going on in her mind.

On the night Lu Wubing left Tianxing Sect, he secretly watched and saw that Senior Sister Xiaolan had created a method to fool herself.

She could mistake the small tree in front of her, or even the air in front of her, for a junior brother.

When practicing swordsmanship, it truly feels like being drenched in sweat from being attacked.

Lu Wubing hid to the side and watched carefully for a while before finally confirming that his senior sister was not acting.

Instead, they can actually visualize their own figure and sword attacks in front of them, and then benefit from them.

Thus, he rapidly grasped swordsmanship and made progress.

That's not simple.

Based on Lu Wubing's experience, he could only find similar examples from his experiences in his previous life.

My mind is convinced that Senior Sister Xiaolan has likely comprehended the [Great Hypnosis Technique].

Being able to actively put oneself into a certain situation... a desperate situation where one is forced to the brink of despair, and then find a breakthrough from it.

This kind of training method is something that ordinary people can't do, and they can't fool themselves.

I saw it, but I just assumed she was playing around.

In fact, even the master's wife didn't understand.

It can only be said that everyone has different talents.

Everyone has his strong and weak points.

This is precisely why Lu Wubing did not take Senior Sister Xiaolan with him to Dongjun.

Let her quietly improve her swordsmanship foundation on her own, and naturally break through to the perfect realm. Compared to Lu Wubing forcibly breaking through by suppressing his sword intent, she has more potential, a stronger foundation, and will go further in the future.

"Actually, Senior Sister Xiaolan is a genius."

Lu Wubing said with a smile.

If he had said that when he first arrived at the mountain, Qin Huaiying would have definitely thought he was flattering his senior sister.

It was to make that silly girl happy.

Now, hearing it again, I am deeply moved and realize that it is indeed true.

Lu Wubing thought to himself that everyone is a genius. It's just that their talent manifests in different ways.

Some people have their own mental images and are geniuses at drawing.

Some people are born with a sensitivity to taste and can intuitively perceive abstract things; they are culinary geniuses.

Some people can even dream about important future events, which is a sign of a genius in fortune telling.

However, most geniuses don't discover where their talents truly lie.

Throughout their lives, they will strive for a goal, whether it's studying or practicing martial arts...

Little did they know that these two subjects might be their most foolish areas.

Therefore, after achieving nothing, one will constantly deny oneself, believing that one is worthless and nothing at all.

In Lu Wubing's view, this was a wrong path, and he hadn't been able to fully utilize his abilities.

If you're a fish, then go practice swimming.

If you're a bird, you should fly high into the sky.

You can't make a fish climb a tree or a bird dive; otherwise, they'll never achieve anything, no matter how hard they try.

Senior Sister Xiaolan is a genius at mental hypnosis.

With a little training, her mental strength increased at an astonishing speed.

Furthermore, they are able to draw inferences from one instance to another and have a very clear understanding of the essence of things.

Once this strength is utilized, and swordsmanship is further practiced, progress will naturally be rapid, at a speed that will astound the world.

And what about the seventh senior sister, Lin Wenjing?

I was sickly as a child, but it wasn't because I was physically weak.

On the contrary, she is a genius in physical training.

They are born with strong bones and tendons.

How powerful is it? So powerful that without proper nutrition, it becomes ten times weaker than an average person.

Just like a thoroughbred horse, if it's not fed properly, its performance will be much worse than that of a crossbow horse.

As the saying goes, everything has its limits.

A strong man with a naturally powerful physique can eat a whole bucket of rice in one meal... but if he eats just a little bit, he doesn't even have the strength to walk.

However, an ordinary person who is not physically strong can survive on just one steamed bun a day.

You won't feel particularly weak.

Even if an ordinary person only eats one steamed bun a day, they can still work and support their family.

The burly man with the strongest physique could only lie on the ground waiting to die, struggling even to breathe.

Because the energy he ingested was too much for his body to sustain, he died from overexertion.

Lin Wenjing has this kind of constitution.

Lu Wubing hadn't realized it yet. When he first arrived at the mountain, he only felt that his seventh senior sister's physical training speed was many times faster than her internal energy training.

After arriving in Donghai County, she was allowed to take tonics without any restrictions and practice the Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone Fist diligently.

Furthermore, they spared no effort in infusing her with vitality to replenish her body's needs.

As a result, in just over ten days, Lin Wenjing not only mastered the Dragon Tendon Tiger Bone Fist, but also advanced directly towards the Perfect Realm.

Moreover, the speed at which Qi and blood increase is astonishing.

At this point, he had already mastered the five internal organs and generated a blood-qi energy.

In other words, based solely on her physical body and blood energy, she is already considered a master of the upper three ranks of external martial arts.

Its full power erupted, and it was not much weaker than Lu Wubing's physical strength.

Lu Wubing's basic physical strength is approximately five thousand jin.

Lin Wenjing's physical strength had already reached around three thousand jin. Their combined strength continued to increase rapidly.

Lu Wubing relies on his boundless vitality and physical evolution; to put it bluntly, he's cheating.

Lin Wenjing, on the other hand, relied entirely on her physical body to conceal her talent.

"If Senior Sister Xiaolan masters the [Flowing Light Sword Style] to perfection, her other sword techniques will likely also gradually break through to the same level in the near future. Even if she encounters a master of the Innate Realm, she may not be able to defeat him, but she can hold her own for a while and escape."

Lu Wubing breathed a long sigh of relief.

They also understood why the sect leader had taken his precious daughter with him, and why it was on the dangerous battlefield fighting against the Northern Zhou Demonic Sect.

"By the way, now is the time when we need manpower. As for our senior brother, we don't need to keep him in seclusion. Why not let him redeem himself by getting him to do some good deeds? Wouldn't that be better?"

"Sigh, don't say anymore, Lingfeng... he went down the mountain on his own."

A complex emotion flashed in Qin Huaiying's eyes.

"News came from down the mountain that Jin Manjiang, the eldest of the Hengjiang Twin Fiends whom he had bet on to let go, has now joined the Demonic Sect's Ten Thousand Beasts Hall and is mingling with the dog demon, one of the twelve ferocious beasts, who has a particular fondness for devouring children."

According to fellow martial arts practitioners, Jin Mantang and Gou Siwu killed over four hundred people in Huangtai Village, Liyang, and held a hundred-day feast for them…

Qin Huaiying gripped the sword hilt so tightly it creaked.

His eyes burned with murderous intent.

"The twelve leaders of the Demonic Sect's Beast Hall are all extremely vicious and cruel, feeding on humans; they are nothing but beasts and demons. They are birds of a feather with these two villains from Hengjiang, and I wish I could kill them with my own hands."

Qin Huaiying said that's what she said, but there really wasn't much she could do.

Back then, the Demonic Wheel King and the Heavenly Star Sect's Heavenly Sword King fought to the death, both suffering heavy losses.

Not long after the Sword King Luo Zushi returned to the mountain, he passed away peacefully. It is said that King Zhuanlun also did not live long, and there was no news of him afterward. Naturally, the Night Emperor Ye Wushuang rose to power next.

The original six halls of the Samsara Sect were thus split apart.

Among them, the Tianyin Hall was destroyed under internal and external attacks, while other halls such as the Hehuan Hall, Xuelian Hall, and Wanshou Hall went their own way.

Once they were no longer under control, these people acted even more recklessly.

【Blood Lotus Hall】Refines blood, sinister and evil.

The names of the twelve ferocious beasts in the Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts are so powerful that they can stop a child from crying. Anyone in the martial arts world who encounters a member of this hall will surely be hated and attacked by everyone.

However, although the twelve ferocious beasts are cruel and ruthless to outsiders, they are deeply affectionate brothers to each other.

When one side is in danger, the twelve of them join forces to fight the enemy, making them extremely difficult to deal with. Therefore, unless one is exceptionally strong, few dare to provoke them.

"How strong are these people?"

"Among them, Green Snake She Yue and Black Pig Heimian, one is skilled in poison and swordsmanship with a sinister and mysterious style, and the other has a Xuan Shui True Body that is extremely difficult to destroy and has immense strength. Both are innate [Yin Void Realm] experts."

With his unique and secret techniques, he is said to be able to fight against martial arts masters of the [Yang Realm].

The rest, such as Kanglong, Feima, and Zhenshu, are all top-tier martial artists, with cultivation levels between the first and second rank…

"Isn't the Ten Thousand Beasts Hall, a mere branch of the demonic sect, capable of rivaling the Purple Sun Sect?"

Upon hearing this, and recalling the Tianxing Sect from back then, Lu Wubing was completely at a loss for words.

If it were the Tianxing Sect back then, wouldn't they have been utterly defeated if they had encountered these twelve ferocious beasts?

Only the Ziyang Sect can compare.

The later-rising leader of the Three Divine Peaks, Bi Fenkong, is a Grandmaster of the Innate [Yang Realm] realm, and the sect has even more elders and experts.

The ten elders, known as the "Ten Suns of Burning the Sky," are all top-tier experts.

It is said that he has five or six thousand disciples, making him a formidable force.

Even with this level of strength, dealing with a demonic sect like the "Hall of Ten Thousand Beasts" would require risking one's life.

No wonder that Master Bi always wanted to scheme against the other two brother sects, hoping to unite the three sects and push his own sect to the next level.

It is understandable.

This approach, however, is somewhat unscrupulous.

Instead of focusing on external expansion, they want to annex internal territory first; this is simply unacceptable.

On the other hand, even after the split, one branch of the Demonic Sect was this powerful.

So, just how strong was the Northern Zhou Demonic Sect's Wheel Reincarnation Hall before it split apart?

Thinking back to thirty years ago, the Tianxing Sect, though not at its peak, fought against the entire Demonic Sect, managing to shatter the Demonic Sect into pieces and force them to flee in defeat.

How strong was the Heavenly Star Sect back then?

At its peak, when the second patriarch was still alive, how powerful was the Tianxing Sect?
"Did the eldest brother hear from the sixth brother about the evil deeds of the two villains, Jin Manjiang, in Hengjiang, and request to go down the mountain to eliminate them?"

"If he asks to come down the mountain, then so be it."

Qin Huaiying sighed, looking disappointed.

"Lingfeng left a letter, seemingly afraid that we would stop him. He subdued the disciples guarding the mountain gate and went down the mountain overnight."

He said he would personally go to Liyang Prefecture to kill Jin Manjiang in order to atone for his mistake.

He finally understood: condoning evil is tantamount to committing evil. Why hadn't he understood that before? How could he have talked about brotherhood and compassion with a vicious man who ate children alive? It infuriates me!

"Since he can easily subdue several junior brothers on night patrol, Senior Brother's strength must have greatly improved. He won't be in any danger. Let him be."

Lu Wubing understood that although Qin Huaiying was angry at Yue Lingfeng for acting on his own initiative and for being reckless, she did not truly blame him.

He didn't say much.

After all, Yue Lingfeng was raised on the mountain since he was a child, and over the years, he has been the subject of much hope.

Qin Huaiying basically treated him like his own son.

Now that Yue Lingfeng is going deep into the bandit's lair alone to eliminate evil and eliminate criminals, it would be a lie to say that I'm not worried.

But Lu Wubing shook his head inwardly, not having a high opinion of Yue Lingfeng's self-willed personality.

I just hope he truly eliminates evil, and not that he encounters some kind of demonic sect saintess on the road, falls in love with someone else, and then runs around doing things for the demonic sect...

I'm reminded of another story, another senior disciple.

Lu Wubing sighed deeply.

You know what, it really does look like it.

After the goods were put into storage, Lu Wubing asked where some of the older disciples on the mountain had gone.

He felt that only his master's wife, a second-rank expert, remained guarding the mountain. Although the other junior disciples were capable of fighting, they would be of little use if they encountered a true master.

To put it bluntly, this mountain isn't exactly safe.

Although the Heavenly Star Sect is now highly prestigious, it doesn't mean that no one dares to launch a sneak attack.

"Mainly, it's Jin Yutang's place. Shen Wanjian's nephew is getting married. According to reports from the disciples down the mountain, many unfamiliar martial arts figures have appeared. Furthermore, the Three Guards troops have moved south from the direction of Xiangzhou and Yunyang..."

I was worried that something might happen in Mingyang, so I sent all my disciples down the mountain.

Although the master's wife wasn't very well-informed, as a seasoned veteran, she keenly sensed that something was amiss and took appropriate measures.

"We still need to leave a few capable senior brothers on the mountain."

Lu Wubing turned to look at his fourth and fifth senior brothers who had followed him back. These people had gone through fierce battles and had already made further progress.

Now that the medicine and gold and silver treasures have been transported back to the mountain, someone needs to stay and oversee things. It's fine to leave ten senior brothers to guard the mountain gate.

On ordinary days, they can also mentor newly initiated disciples.

As for the area down the mountain, I can just take seven or eight people with me.

"That way, I feel relieved."

A hint of relief flashed in Qin Huaiying's eyes.

He thought to himself that his little apprentice was someone he could trust to do things properly.

With her keen eye, she could naturally tell that the disciples who had been taken away had a completely different spirit and demeanor after their return compared to when they had just come down the mountain.

Some of them even felt a faint sense of threat themselves.

When it comes to how to train and instruct disciples, even I, along with my old man at home, am far inferior to my junior apprentices.

“Master’s wife, please take all ten Purple Heart Pills at once.”

Lu Wubing thought for a moment, then poured out ten pills shrouded in purple mist from the jade bottle in his bosom.

“You child, even if you have enough pills, there’s no need to take them like this… It’s not only too wasteful, but also difficult to digest.”

"Trust your disciple, just take it. It's alright, Seventh Senior Sister tried it too, and it worked quite well."

"Is it really okay?"

Qin Huaiying hesitated.

"fine."

Lu Wubing poured a glass of water and handed it to him.

Seeing his master's wife swallow a handful of pills, her face turned blood red after only ten breaths, and she became dazed and intoxicated, as if she were drunk.

"Master's wife, please forgive me."

When the effects of the medication take hold.

Moved, Lu Wubing's sword intent surged forth, and he suddenly transformed into a giant demon, launching a fierce attack.

I was moved, of course, by the trust that my teacher's wife placed in me.

No normal person would agree to take ten difficult-to-digest tonic pills in a row...

No matter what kind of medicine it is, taking too much will not only be useless, but will also harm your body.

Just like this Zixin Pill that concentrates the spirit, although it is extremely beneficial to the spirit and internal energy, it is common sense that it takes three days to digest one pill, which is the best rhythm for taking medicine.

You can't take ten pills at once.

But Qin Huaiying did just that.

Such faith is invaluable.

Lu Wubing must live up to this closeness and trust.

Although the Heavenly Star Sect is now quite strong, it is only quite strong.

This is the headquarters, which Lu Wubing considers more important than anything else.

There is absolutely no room for the slightest mistake.

If something happens here.

Even if I achieve great success in other areas, it will not outweigh the gains.

Therefore, the stronger the person guarding the mountain, the better.

Fortunately, Lu Wubing had this method.

And the teacher's wife, Qin Huaiying, had this background.

Compared to her seventh senior sister Lin Wenjing and Cheng Liangyu, her master's wife was only one step away from breaking through in swordsmanship.

Sure enough, it only took half an hour of intense attack.

Under the pressure of the sword intent, Qin Huaiying let out a long roar, and his swordsmanship changed.

First came his signature Seven Kill Sword Technique, his energy soaring skyward. The sword strike was like a thunderbolt, and with a deafening roar, the sword circle expanded several feet.

Then, Lu Wubing changed his mind and transmitted the operating method of the [Flowing Light Sword Style] into his master's wife's mind all at once.

Only after watching her practice until she became proficient did he feel relieved enough to stop.

He laughed and said, "Now, even if Master's wife gets into a fight with Master, she doesn't have to worry about losing."

"Haha, you silly child."

Qin Huaiying was delighted.

He looked at the sword in his hand with delight, then closed his eyes to experience the internal energy that felt like an extension of his arm, and his heart was filled with mixed feelings.

People say that once a master accepts you into the school, the rest is up to you to cultivate yourself.

A master need not be better than his disciple.

But I have taken it a step further.

A master needs the guidance and support of his disciples.

This feeling……

very nice.

……

"Brother Wubing, hurry! News has arrived from down the mountain. Senior Brother Wu from Jinyutang has come to report that something has happened at Huichuntang."

Xiao Su Mei rushed in, followed by a thin fifteen-year-old boy.

Upon seeing Lu Wubing, he immediately bowed.

He then turned to pay his respects to Qin Huaiying.

"But what happened to my family?"

Lu Wubing asked in a deep voice.

"It's a letter from the capital. I heard that the Dowager Lady Ning of the Marquis of Changxin's mansion is unwell, and the steward of the household has come to invite her. Now Uncle Lu and Aunt Lu's party have already left the city..."

The master, being cautious, sent some men to follow them. As a result, after half a day, the senior brothers lost contact.

"By the way, it seems the Lu family also sent someone up the mountain. I wonder if Uncle Qin has received it?"

"Never."

Qin Huaiying's expression also changed.

"Don't worry if you're not sick. I'll go down the mountain with you and gather the disciples."

"No need. If we start a big fight, we'll definitely be targeted. My master's wife will stay on the mountain, and I'll just take a few people down with me."

It is highly likely that the Lu family members were lured out of the city under the guise of family ties.

It's not hard to guess what's going on; they're probably after me.

At this point, the more people you bring, the more powerful you become, and the more likely you are to alert the enemy.

It would be bad if we pushed the other party to the brink of desperation.

"I remember, Senior Brother Shen's wedding is tomorrow, the ninth day of the sixth lunar month, right?"

"Exactly."

"What a clever scheme to lure the tiger away from the mountain. First it was Master, then it was me... What a brilliant plan."

Lu Wubing's mind calmed down a bit after a moment's thought.

I just don't know who's behind this evil scheme. I hope they don't regret it.

……
