"Such immense power!"
Zhang Xian'er, landing softly on the rooftop, stared in astonishment at Wan Yunting. She asked in disbelief, "Is this sword technique truly something you created yourself?"
"More or less."
Wan Yunting discarded the branch in his hand and leaped off the rooftop, landing in the courtyard. Seeing the tree trunk, severed by sword qi, lying in the yard, he gestured for the servants and security guards observing to clear it...
Zhang Xian'er also alighted. Wan Yunting smiled, "This sword technique is derived from my own swordplay, taking its essence. So, it's not entirely something I've comprehended on my own."
"No wonder."
Zhang Xian'er sheathed her Qingping Sword and chuckled, "But you're still very impressive. I haven't even managed to create my own sword technique..."
The two chatted as they returned to their residence, having breakfast with Fang Yanxi and Gu Luotang. Wan Yunting also greeted his parents and sister, packed his belongings, and then, with Zhang Xian'er, left home directly for the airport...
"Let's go."
Zhang Xian'er emerged, carrying a small backpack. Besides the Qingping Sword, she also held a cloth-wrapped demonic sword in her other hand. Wan Yunting took it and smiled at his mother, Xia Xiangyun, and the others, "We're off."
"Yes, be safe, and call us when you arrive."
Xia Xiangyun waved, her reminder not forgotten. Gu Luotang, Fang Yanxi, and Qi Miaomiao also waved, but remained silent, their hearts filled with a sense of unease...
Wan Yunting looked at them, especially at Gu Luotang, who was visibly pregnant. He smiled, "Luotang, I'll be back before our son is born."
"Mm-hmm..."
Gu Luotang nodded gently, smiling, and caressed her belly, praying for his safe return...
Wan Yunting and Zhang Xian'er got into the car, heading straight for the airport. Meanwhile, Li Yuxiu also came to the airport to see him off.
"Xian'er, go wait over there for a moment."
Wan Yunting said, walking towards Li Yuxiu...
Zhang Xian'er didn't mind and went to sit on a chair, continuing to snack.
"Sister Yuxiu, I told you not to come."
Wan Yunting looked at Li Yuxiu, clad in a snow-white down coat that exuded mature charm. She smiled, "I'm not too busy today, so I came to see you off."
"Mm, I'll leave the household affairs to you." Wan Yunting smiled.
"Don't worry."
Li Yuxiu nodded and said, "I've already contacted Bahar, the president of the association in Xinjiang. They will send someone to pick you up at the airport. Call me to report your safety upon arrival."
"Alright."
Wan Yunting nodded with a smile. Seeing the crowd at the airport, it wasn't convenient to hug Li Yuxiu. He said, "We're going in now, you should head back too. Don't worry."
Li Yuxiu's autumn eyes fixed on him, and she said with utmost seriousness, "Remember to be careful. Don't take unnecessary risks, understand?"
"Mm..."
Wan Yunting nodded, waved goodbye with a smile, and said no more. He turned and headed for the boarding gate, simultaneously waving to Zhang Xian'er, who got up and walked towards him. Together, they passed security, entered the airport, and boarded their private jet...
Li Yuxiu watched their figures disappear into the airport before sighing softly and turning to leave...
For some reason, she felt an inexplicable sense of worry, which was why Li Yuxiu had specifically come to see Wan Yunting off today...
Wan Yunting was traveling to Ximengol Autonomous Prefecture in Xinjiang. After more than ten hours on the plane, they arrived at the airport late in the evening.
As Wan Yunting and Zhang Xian'er exited the airport, accompanied by bodyguards from the Ouyang family, they saw a few locals holding a photograph. They looked at Wan Yunting, recognized him, and quickly approached, asking, "Excuse me, are you Chairman Wan?"
Wan Yunting looked at a tall, middle-aged man among the group, who exuded a peculiar aura. He smiled, "Yes, are you President Bahar?"
"Yes, Chairman Wan."
This man named Bahar was indeed the president of the Traditional Chinese Medicine Association in Xinjiang, also managed by the TCM Association.
He excitedly extended his large hand to shake Wan Yunting's, saying with a smile, "Welcome to Ximengol. I've already arranged your accommodations. I'll take you to rest first, and we can discuss official matters tomorrow. How about that?"
"Alright, I'll follow your arrangements." Wan Yunting nodded with a smile.
"Then, let's get in the car..."
Bahar and his companions ushered Wan Yunting and Zhang Xian'er into the car and then took them to a grand hotel.
It was clear that President Bahar was hosting Wan Yunting with the highest hospitality. However, this made him raise an eyebrow. While Bahar and the others were not present, he spoke to the front desk and paid for his hotel room himself.
Later, when President Bahar went to the front desk to pay, the receptionist informed him that Wan Yunting had already settled the bill. This surprised Bahar, who felt a pang of guilt and quickly went to find Wan Yunting...
"It's alright, President Bahar. You don't need to be so polite."
Back in the room, Wan Yunting saw Bahar and the others approaching again and knew what they wanted to say. He waved his hand and chuckled, "Your Traditional Chinese Medicine Association's conditions are not very good in the first place. You should save where you can."
"Alas, thank you for your understanding, Chairman Wan."
President Bahar couldn't help but sigh, admitting that the conditions of their Traditional Chinese Medicine Association were indeed not very good.
"It's getting late, you should also go back and rest. You can send someone to pick me up tomorrow," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
"Alright, then Chairman Wan, you all rest early. We'll be leaving now." Bahar and the others nodded with smiles, waved, and departed.
Wan Yunting watched them leave before closing the door and returning. He saw Zhang Xian'er already asleep on the sofa in the living room. He tidied himself up and went back to his room to sleep soundly...
However, his whereabouts in Xinjiang today had already been discovered!
At the Wudang Sect, the Sect Leader's residence.
"Master, we've just received news that Wan Yunting has gone to Ximengol in Xinjiang!"
Xian Yun entered and whispered to Zhong Yulong, who was meditating on a futon.
Zhong Yulong opened his eyes and asked, "What is he doing in Xinjiang?"
Xian Yun replied, "Their Traditional Chinese Medicine Association is planning a free medical outreach program in the rural towns. Wan Yunting went to Xinjiang for this very reason!"
Zhong Yulong's old eyes slowly narrowed. "The origin of the Demonic Cult lies in Xinjiang!"
This statement made Xian Yun's eyes light up. "Master, are you suggesting that Wan Yunting, under the guise of their TCM free medical outreach, is actually going to Xinjiang to find the Demonic Pool?"
Zhong Yulong nodded. "The true mystery of the Demonic Pool is known only to a few. Those with firm resolve can subdue the power within, gaining supreme divine skills and reaching the realm of incorruptibility!"
It turned out that not only the Old Heavenly Master of Longhu Mountain knew the secret of the Demonic Cult's Demonic Pool, but the Wudang Sect also knew!
"Immediately inform Elder Xu Guzi and the others. We are departing for Xinjiang!" Zhong Yulong, unable to sit still, rose and said immediately.
"Yes, I'll go invite Elder Xu and the others right away..." Xian Yun quickly turned and left...
Meanwhile, at the Heavenly Master's Mansion on Longhu Mountain, Zhao Yiwu also received this news and reported it to the Sect Leader, Zhang Xuanliang.
Zhang Xuanliang said, "Junior Brother Zhao, you shall personally lead people there. If you can indeed be of assistance, you must stand with Wan Yunting!"
Zhao Yiwu was surprised. "If Wan Yunting truly becomes an enemy of the major sects, should we still choose to stand with him?"
Zhang Xuanliang's gaze was extremely firm. He nodded, "Yes, for Senior Uncle Xian'er, we can be enemies with the major sects!"
This left Zhao Yiwu in shock. He knew that if they were to oppose the major sects for Wan Yunting and Zhang Xian'er, Longhu Mountain would face countless obstacles in the future.
"Go."
Zhang Xuanliang waved his hand, for he knew Zhang Xian'er's true identity...
Elsewhere, Jian Shisan had also infiltrated China. He had spent this time understanding the situation of the various sects. He hadn't expected that a single video from Wan Yunting would create such a rift between other sects and the Wudang Sect!
However, now that the major sects were seeking the whereabouts of the Demonic Cult's Demonic Pool, they were in opposition to Wan Yunting.
Therefore, he didn't need to act secretly; the major sects would deal with Wan Yunting themselves.
But today, his informant in the capital reported that Wan Yunting had gone to Ximengol in Xinjiang. Jian Shisan instantly felt that an opportunity was about to arise!
He immediately reported this news to his adoptive father, who in turn informed the new High Priest, who then reported it to the Main God.
"Xinjiang!"
The Main God, seated at the head of the hall, wore a long black robe with pale hair cascading down. He wore a mask, revealing only his eyes, and a vertical eye socket on his forehead. This was the third eye of their Heavenly Eye Main God Cult.
However, to this day, this Main God had not mastered the supreme divine skill and opened this third eye!
"The origin of the Demonic Cult is in Xinjiang!"
The Main God's eyes beneath the mask narrowed. Wan Yunting's current journey to Xinjiang might be to search for the Demonic Cult's Demonic Pool.
"Immediately gather forces. I shall personally descend upon China!" The Main God then spread his arms and shouted with fervor.
"Main God, eternal through the ages..."
Instantly, the High Priests and numerous followers below the hall knelt down...
Besides the Heavenly Eye Main God Cult, the major sects also learned that Wan Yunting had gone to Xinjiang.
Thus, they also dispatched people to investigate, to confirm whether Wan Yunting was truly going to Xinjiang to search for the Demonic Cult's Demonic Pool!
