Eunuch Yu thought, "You've crippled the Black Mountain King. If you're afraid of trouble, then everyone in this world would be a coward!"
Eunuch Yu felt as if he had just insulted himself, and his expression turned somewhat odd.
However, upon further reflection, he realized he didn't have any testicles, so the concept of being a coward didn't apply.
Eunuch Yu's expression softened again.
Seeing Eunuch Yu's peculiar expression, Ye Kunlun, unaware of his inner thoughts, continued, "Your Grace, would you like to come in for a cup of tea?"
"Thank you for your kind offer, King Shanhe. This humble servant must return to report to the Sage."
With that, Eunuch Yu turned to leave.
After taking only a couple of steps, Eunuch Yu seemed to recall something and turned back to Ye Kunlun, saying, "King Shanhe, from what this humble servant knows, people from the Biluo Sect have already entered the outskirts of the capital. King Shanhe, please be careful." httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Thank you for the reminder, Your Grace." Ye Kunlun nodded, a hint of coldness in his eyes.
After Eunuch Yu departed, Wudao and the other two immediately surrounded him.
"Young Master, the Biluo Sect should be the ancient sect where Changsun Yuan resides. Perhaps your subordinate could scout ahead and gauge their strength?"
The three were still reveling in the joy of Ye Kunlun being conferred the title of King Shanhe.
However, upon hearing Eunuch Yu mention the Biluo Sect, their joy vanished, and a strong killing intent emanated from them.
"Young Master, we three are willing to volunteer to go together and investigate their situation."
Xiao Jiu and Feng Tutu spoke in unison!
Ye Kunlun shook his head, his eyes filled with indifference, "No need. If a mere Biluo Sect dares to come, we'll kill them when they arrive."
"I fear the Biluo Sect might join forces with other ancient sects," Wudao expressed his concern. "Although Young Master's strength is unparalleled, we must still be cautious."
Feng Tutu and Xiao Jiu nodded in agreement. As Ye Kunlun's trusted aides, they couldn't let him face every challenge alone.
Sensing their intentions, Ye Kunlun pondered for a moment before nodding. "Very well. You may go to the outskirts of the capital to scout their situation. Remember not to be impulsive. If you cannot defeat them, retreat and regroup!"
"Your subordinates understand!"
The three spoke in unison and then left the Wujian Prison.
"I owe Eunuch Yu a favor."
Ye Kunlun showed a hint of helplessness. Although he already knew the Biluo Sect had appeared in the outskirts of the capital, Eunuch Yu could have chosen not to mention it.
Since he did, Ye Kunlun accepted his goodwill.
While Ye Kunlun was waiting in the study for news from Wudao and the others, Tang Zhuozhuo arrived with Tang Tangtang.
"Ye Kunlun, do you know about Qian Rou Rou?" Tang Zhuozhuo leaned forward and asked.
Ye Kunlun was taken aback. Recalling events from two days prior, he asked, "What happened to her?"
"I heard she went abroad," Tang Zhuozhuo said, looking at Ye Kunlun meaningfully. "Qian Dongchao gave her two choices: either accept the marriage arranged by the family or go abroad for further studies and return in three years to take over the family business!"
Ye Kunlun shook his head. "If she's going abroad, then let her. It has nothing to do with me."
Tang Zhuozhuo shot Ye Kunlun a glare. "Everyone in the Wujian Prison can see that Qian Rou Rou is interested in you. Do you dare say you have no feelings for her?"
"Pointless!" Ye Kunlun was somewhat exasperated. "Miss Tang, are you bored and have nothing else to do?"
Seeing Ye Kunlun's annoyance, Tang Zhuozhuo stopped joking and adopted a serious expression. "Changsun Qingwan went to Mount Wanzhang in the East Sea. You should know this, right?"
Ye Kunlun raised an eyebrow. He hadn't actually paid attention to Changsun Qingwan's affairs.
He recalled what Changsun Qingwan had said to him on the day of the Blood Hand's interment and replied in a low voice, "Her affairs have nothing to do with me."
"Sigh."
Tang Zhuozhuo sighed.
Ye Kunlun looked at Tang Zhuozhuo with some exasperation and jokingly chided, "I say, Miss Tang, you care about Qian Rou Rou, and now you're concerned about Changsun Qingwan. Aren't you jealous anymore?"
Tang Zhuozhuo's delicate eyebrows shot up. "I'm jealous? I'm just saying I have no rivals!"
Ye Kunlun shook his head and suddenly felt that Mount Wanzhang sounded familiar. After a moment of thought, he remembered his master mentioning it.
"You just said Changsun Qingwan went to Mount Wanzhang?"
Ye Kunlun leaned back in his chair and looked at Tang Zhuozhuo.
"That's right. It's my first time hearing of this place too. I heard that Mount Wanzhang is hidden in the sea all year round, its whereabouts elusive and difficult to find. I don't know if it's true."
Tang Zhuozhuo's tone revealed her curiosity.
She wasn't concerned about Changsun Qingwan at all; she was purely curious as to why Changsun Qingwan would go to such a place.
Ye Kunlun wore a contemplative expression and remained silent.
"Quickly tell me, what's so mysterious about Mount Wanzhang that makes its whereabouts so hard to find?" Tang Zhuozhuo asked with great curiosity.
"Idiot!" Ye Kunlun blurted out, "That's because there's an illusion array covering Mount Wanzhang."
"So that's how it is. Huh? You called me an idiot!" Tang Zhuozhuo glared angrily at Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun felt a headache coming on. "Do you still want to know about Mount Wanzhang? If you do, then behave yourself. How come you're less obedient than Tangtang now?"
Tang Tangtang had been silent since entering the room. When Ye Kunlun praised her, her face suddenly flushed red.
Tang Tangtang made a face at Ye Kunlun and sat obediently beside Tang Zhuozhuo.
"If I recall correctly, Mount Wanzhang, along with the Taishan Mansion and Bukong Sea, are known as the three sacred lands," Ye Kunlun began to explain after seeing them seated.
"However, the legends of sages regarding Mount Wanzhang and Bukong Sea are extremely ancient, even more so than the sage of Taishan Mansion a thousand years ago!"
"Furthermore, since a thousand years ago, very few people have seen individuals from Mount Wanzhang and Bukong Sea enter the secular world. Therefore, most people have long forgotten these two places. Even if they know of them, they understand them as little as you do."
Tang Zhuozhuo listened with great interest. "So it's one of the three sacred lands. Then how did Changsun Qingwan know about this place? And why would she go to Mount Wanzhang alone?"
She rested her hands on the table, her beautiful eyes fixed on Ye Kunlun.
Ye Kunlun looked thoughtful and replied faintly, "That's what I'm curious about too."
Ye Kunlun truly couldn't fathom why Changsun Qingwan would seek out Mount Wanzhang.
"Could it be that there are elders from the Changsun family in Mount Wanzhang?" Tang Tangtang suddenly interjected. "Oh my, she wouldn't have gone to call someone to seek revenge on brother-in-law, would she!"
Ye Kunlun glanced at Tang Tangtang. It was indeed a possibility!
"It shouldn't be, right? If that were the case, as one of the Seven Great Clans of the capital, our Tang family would surely know," Tang Zhuozhuo said with some skepticism.
"But if that's true, then the Changsun family is hiding something very deep."
Tang Zhuozhuo muttered again.
"They are all families with a thousand years of heritage; they are all old foxes," Ye Kunlun sneered. "Is your Tang family really as simple as having a few clan elders?"
Tang Zhuozhuo glared at Ye Kunlun upon hearing him call them old foxes. "You're the old fox."
Ye Kunlun chuckled wryly.
Just then, fierce clashes of power echoed from a distance, approaching rapidly!
Ye Kunlun's gaze narrowed, and a glint of killing intent flashed in his eyes.
