Hengshan West, East Exit.

After a two-day drive, Wang Xiao stepped out of the station and boarded a private car with Li Ka to go to their hotel.

Yes, Wang Xiao did not leave Li Ka in Datong, but took him directly from his father and brought him with him.

As for why he did this, the reason is actually quite simple: it was because of the Gu worms he encountered before leaving.

If nothing had happened when he left, then Wang Xiao probably wouldn't have taken Li Ka with him, since a solo trip is when the real journey begins.

For him personally, traveling with his family is fine, but it's still not very convenient.

If you're on your own, you only need to think about yourself when you do anything.

As for why Li Ka was taken away, there is essentially only one reason.

He also wanted to see who had reached out to him and what their motives were.

"Young Master, should we investigate the forces surrounding Hengshan first?" Li Ka asked Wang Xiao, who was sitting in the back seat, as he drove to the hotel.

"No need." Wang Xiao shook his head, calmly looking at the scenery outside the car window, and said, "Let's rest today and go hiking tomorrow."

During the previous mountain climb, he agreed to let Wang Weiguo investigate the local situation for a few days first, firstly because of the safety of his family, and secondly to see if there were any extraordinary people on the Five Sacred Mountains.

But now that my family has all gone back home, and I'm traveling alone, there's no need to worry about safety anymore, since I'm no longer considered special.

The idea of ​​checking if there were any strange people on the mountain is even more absurd.

Wang Xiao is no longer the naive young man he once was. After reviewing numerous materials about the Five Sacred Mountains, he now fully understands that there must be many extraordinary individuals among them.

Putting aside other things, there are many Taoist temples and Buddhist monasteries on every mountain, so even if not all the registered Taoists and monks are extraordinary people, the number of extraordinary people among them is certainly not small.

So what's the point of checking if there are any strange people on the mountain?

It's pointless now.

"But young master, won't this pose a safety hazard?" Upon hearing Wang Xiao's words, Li Ka had some concerns, after all, he had just been poisoned with a Gu worm.

"Hidden danger? What exactly do you mean?" Wang Xiao glanced at him sideways. "Putting aside the fact that we've already traveled all the way from Shanxi to Hunan, even if that person really does chase after us from a great distance, what can you do?"

Li Ka was taken aback, then fell silent.

Yes, what can he do when facing an outsider? He can only use the power of the Zhonghai Group to bring over some thugs.

But China Overseas Group is currently facing its own problems. Will they really have the manpower to provide for him?

Aside from China Overseas Group, it seems that the only other option he can turn to is the government...

"There's no need to consider cooperating with the authorities. Hengshan is a special place after all. With so many famous and righteous sects on the mountain, even the real Quanxing Sect wouldn't act casually. Therefore, your worries are meaningless."

Seeing Li Ka's worried face in the rearview mirror, Wang Xiao jokingly comforted him.

"And you don't need to think so negatively. They might not be after you. After all, what do you, a penniless office worker, have to offer them? Maybe I'm the one they're after."

"Young Master, then we should take precautions even earlier!" Upon hearing this, Li Ka wasn't worried about Wang Xiao saying he was worthless; instead, he became anxious because of the second half of the sentence. "If they're coming for me, that's fine, but if they're coming for you, and something really happens because of my negligence, I... I'll never forgive myself for the rest of my life!"

Wang Xiao shook his head, listening to the sound of the flowing water beside him, looking at the scenery outside the window, and chuckled softly, "Just drive your car, I'm not as weak as you think."

Once he reaches Mount Heng and acquires the corresponding offensive divine abilities, Wang Xiao can foresee that his strength will definitely experience a breakthrough increase.

Under such circumstances, he was confident that he could handle the Gu Master with his own strength, even if he was only half-baked.

Of course, even if he can't win, he can still call for reinforcements!

He didn't believe that none of the many extraordinary people in Hengshan liked money, since even the Quanxing sect could be bought with money. These famous sects also needed income to make a living.

Touching the two hundred million black card tucked in his pocket, Wang Xiao felt a little more at ease.

Dad was right after all...

……

The next morning.

After a night's rest, Wang Xiao and Li Ka set off for Hengshan, lightly equipped.

After reaching the foot of the mountain, Wang Xiao glanced up at the mountain.

Unlike the majestic Taishan and the rugged Hengshan, the scenery of Hengshan is quite beautiful and bright.

At first glance, although Mount Heng is not as towering as Mount Tai, nor as uniquely beautiful as Mount Hengshan, it is the most pleasing to the eye.

Looking at the mountains covered in greenery, Li Ka couldn't help but exclaim, "Mount Heng, the most beautiful of the Five Sacred Mountains, truly lives up to its reputation."

Wang Xiao nodded in agreement. "Among the Five Sacred Mountains, Hengshan has the highest tree coverage, so it looks much more prominent than the other mountains."

"It's a pity that the fourth young master has started school, otherwise seeing such a scene would be quite pleasing to the eye," Li Ka sighed.

Wang Xiao glanced at him. Ever since that epiphany, this guy had become more and more open when talking to him, and even dared to mention his family.

However, despite the unexpectedness, Wang Xiao did not blame him, after all, it was just a casual conversation.

"He might not be so sure." Wang Xiao shook his head. "Alright, let's get ready to climb the mountain."

"Yes, young master." Li Ka nodded and followed Wang Xiao toward the entrance of Hengshan.

The entrance to Hengshan was also quite a distance from the actual entrance point. It took Wang Xiao and Li Ka half an hour to finally arrive at a stone gate.

Wang Xiao looked up at the plaque carved above the stone gate.

【Victory Square】

The stone gate in front of us is a single-arch stone archway built of granite blocks.

From its appearance, it is thick and solid, and the whole body is made of large pieces of light gray square granite laid in a staggered manner.

Furthermore, two couplets are engraved on either side of the stone gate.

The inscription on the right pillar reads: "At the 72nd Summit, the heroes gathered to seize the opportunity and become the mainstay."

The inscription on the left pillar reads: "The alliance of friendly nations from five continents has turned the tide and saved world peace."

Wang Xiao stood there for a while, staring at the stone gate in front of him.

According to historical records, the Victory Archway was built around 1946 specifically to commemorate the victory in the War of Resistance against Japan.

Therefore, Wang Xiao couldn't help but feel a little emotional when he saw this stone gate.

Actually, he was quite regretful that he was born so many years too late.

If he had been born a few years earlier, perhaps he would have had the opportunity to participate in the bloody battle of Mianshan, a battle that would have been recorded in history.

"What a pity..."
