The ancient giant bear hiding in the world of immortal cultivation

Chapter 329 No choice
In that instant, hundreds of thoughts flashed through Wang Wu's mind. Although he had no evidence, he was certain of one thing: he suspected that Wu Du had come to inform on him.

This matter is of great importance, and he certainly needs to report it to Lu Wuchen, but also because it is of great importance, he must report it in person.

The North Sea is hundreds of thousands of miles away from here, and it is busy besieging the Serpent Emperor. It is not a place that a nobody like Wudu can just go in.

Therefore, the best strategy is to find Madam Lu and report to her personally.

And so, the Five Poisons appeared.

However, he probably didn't expect that because of his third senior brother Zhenhai, his sixth junior brother Fengyang came all the way from the Eastern Wilderness. This was a direct disciple, and also an ally, well, Lu Wuchen's ally.

Otherwise, would Madam Lu have personally hosted a family banquet?

Just to entertain two of his personal disciples who hadn't returned in over a hundred years?

Funny.

In fact, Wang Wu benefited from the fame of Zhenhai and Feng Yang.

Otherwise, under normal circumstances, unless he takes the initiative to request an audience, and preferably has something important to discuss, he would not be able to easily meet with Madam Lu.

The Five Poisons must have thought of this.

The only thing he hadn't expected was that Yue Shan was so outstanding.

At this moment, Wang Wu pretended not to see the Five Poisons, and directly pushed over the Golden Mountain and Jade Pillar, solemnly kneeling down on one knee, facing the direction where Madam Lu left. Grandpa Huang is not worthy!
"Please rest assured, Master's wife! For Master and for the Cloud Cauldron Nine Cities Alliance, Yue Shan will go all out, even at the cost of his life! If I cannot break into the top five of the Prodigy Ranking, I am willing to offer my head in apology!"

Wang Wu's voice was loud and clear, truly embodying the heroic spirit of a true man of the Great Wilderness. Even Zhenhai and Fengyang, who were standing to the side, couldn't help but clap and cheer.

Meanwhile, Wu Du swayed slightly in the distance, as if he was about to have another attack. No, each attack usually occurred at least every few decades. He was just caught off guard.

"Good good!"

Grandpa Huang finally nodded in satisfaction, not even glancing at the Five Poisons. Right now, no one was more important than Yue Shan.

Over the past few centuries, Lu Wuchen has been too outstanding and has offended too many people. Although he has made tremendous contributions such as pioneering the Western Wilderness, he is still criticized and questioned. They desperately need to win back some ground in other areas.

Well, the simplest way is to tell everyone that the Lu family has a worthy successor. If we can break into the top five of the Prodigy Ranking, it almost means that the Lu family will produce another Lu Wuchen.

Yes, back in the day, before Lu Wuchen advanced to the first rank, he was already ranked fifth on the list of prodigies.

This is incredibly valuable.

"Yes, the First Madam wishes to see you alone! Go ahead!"

At this moment, Grandpa Huang suddenly spoke, clearly having received some instructions.

"Here!"

Wang Wu quickly stood up, first bowing to Grandpa Huang, then nodding to the Five Poisons, who had put on a gentle, sunny smile in the distance. He then gestured to Zhenhai and Feng Yang, and took the Frost God Talisman from Zhenhai's hand, casually wiping it and merging it into Wu Yin'er's natal flying sword.

Although this young girl looks pitiful, with her family destroyed and her life ruined, the fact that Zhenhai took her as his disciple shows that he definitely didn't want to take advantage of her body. This indicates that there is still a powerful force behind Wu Yin'er.

Trusts and powerful clans rely entirely on relationships and allies.

Even someone as powerful as Lu Wuchen couldn't escape the common practice of taking on personal disciples.
In short, it's always good to leave a good impression.

"Thank you, uncle!"

Wu Yin'er was overjoyed; she had thought she was going to be ignored.

Wang Wu then nodded to Madam Lu's niece and the young man who was likely also her nephew, emphasizing his gentlemanly and courteous demeanor.

Ah, I'm just that sunny, that's why everyone loves me and flowers bloom for me.

Having gained some goodwill, Wang Wu followed a maid who was leading the way to the thatched hut. The peach blossoms there were even more beautiful, the grass was lush and green, and the path was secluded. It seemed like a hidden paradise. Petals fell one by one onto the water's surface, creating a scene where fallen petals and shimmering light reflected each other. Wang Wu and the maid flew together.

Good poem, good poem!

Wait, why a maid?
Wang Wu's heart stirred, and he tried hard to recall the Madam Lu he had seen a moment ago, but even her stunning beauty seemed to have become blurry.

Good heavens, this lady is truly unfathomable, unfathomable!

Wang Wu was extremely wary, and his earlier idea of ​​kidnapping Madam Lu and breaking out vanished.

This Lu family is abnormal; something's not right.

However, his sense of danger was as quiet as a chicken at this moment.

Let's just take it one step at a time.

If we can buy some time... we'll surely find a chance to escape, right?

(The previous chapter contained an error regarding the identity of Grandpa Huang. He is not Lu Ji's spirit beast, but he could be Lu Wuchen's grandfather's spirit beast.)

Following the stream, after several turns, the view suddenly opened up to reveal a quiet little valley, but Madam Lu was nowhere to be seen.

Instead, a smiling maid in white stood there holding a box. Upon seeing Wang Wu, she curtsied.

"Young Master Shan, this is a divine talisman given to you by the First Madam. You may use it to study and comprehend it, or integrate it into your flying sword. But remember not to tell anyone else. In addition, the First Madam also sent a message, hoping that Young Master Shan will not be under too much pressure and remember to relax in a balanced way."

"Thank you, Madam!"

Wang Wu was moved to tears, bowed deeply once more, then accepted the wooden box, put it into his storage bag, took a few steps back, and hurriedly left.

When he came out, Zhenhai, Fengyang and the others were no longer in the thatched hut. Even the Five Poisons were gone. Only Grandpa Huang and another old man, who was also a first-grade guardian spirit beast, the one who was responsible for following Yue Shan, were left. The Lu family's foundation was evident.

These three first-grade guardian spirit beasts—one guarding the family, one controlling the Xuan Iron Mine, and one occupying the Great Snow Mountain—have reaped all the benefits; no wonder others are envious.

"This old servant greets Young Master Shan. This old servant deserves to die! I didn't even know when Young Master Shan had emerged from seclusion. I deserve to die, I truly deserve to die!"

The pine bark fell to his knees with a thud and slapped himself three times across the face—it was a really loud slap.

Wang Wu hurriedly stepped forward to help it up.

"Uncle Song, please don't do this. It makes me so ashamed. It's all my fault. I was too willful!"

Wang Wu felt extremely guilty and regretful. See? This is the consequence of lying; the loopholes will only increase.

Yue Shan is currently in seclusion, and Song Pizi is responsible for protecting him. How could Song Pizi not know that he has come out of seclusion?

Or, even if Songpizi had something else he was temporarily negligent about, what was it that you were doing in Yueshan, and why were you keeping it from Songpizi?

These are all suspicious points. Any normal person would find something amiss if they thought about it carefully, let alone these shrewd people.

At this moment, Wang Wu was ready to turn back immediately, take Madam Lu hostage, and fight his way out of Yunding City.

This is fucking awful, damn it, I'm so unlucky!

However, the next second, Grandpa Huang said impatiently, "Stop arguing about this, Songpizi, and stop complaining. I know that the Master entrusted you with the task of building the Snow Mountain Heavenly Palace. It is a tough job. It is inevitable that you will be negligent in taking care of Young Master Shan. This is not your fault. I will also remember your contribution."

"The most important thing now is to advance in the Heavenly Pride Ranking. This is very important. The First Madam personally instructed us, so it is no small matter. You have been following Young Master Shan all along and you know about his cultivation progress, magic treasures, divine talismans, and rare items. Now, you must immediately go and tailor-make a secluded cultivation secret realm for Young Master Shan. In ten days, Young Master Shan will face Mu Qingli, who is ranked sixth on the Heavenly Pride Ranking. You must immediately gather all information about Mu Qingli."

"Here!"

Songpizi quickly left, while Grandpa Huang flicked his sleeve and teleported with Wang Wu to another place.

He didn't even have time to ask where the Five Poisons had gone.

However, the teleportation ability is truly amazing, completely unaffected by random lightning or interrupted divine runes.

Yes, escape techniques are countered by dark lightning; only teleportation is the most powerful.

The next second, Wang Wu appeared in a mysterious place, a place that Yue Shan had never been before.

Above them was an upside-down snow-capped mountain, and below them was a boiling volcano. In the middle was what appeared to be a strange flow of water, on which floated some green plants they had never seen before. At the very center was a giant cauldron, and inside the cauldron was what looked like a galaxy, sparkling with starlight and emanating celestial energy.

Good heavens, could this be the Lu family's most mysterious top-tier warehouse?

For a moment, Wang Wu's breath caught in his throat.

"Do not ask, do not listen, do not speak!"

Grandpa Huang only said these few words, and then reached out and drew out six beams of starlight from the giant cauldron.

Alright, six magic treasures!
All for me?

Wang Wu was overjoyed at this moment, and wished he could call Grandpa Huang his ancestor.

But the next moment, Grandpa Huang spoke calmly, "These are the treasure cauldrons left by our ancestors, containing 360 magical artifacts. They cannot be used lightly, so I can only lend you one. You must return it afterward."

What the hell? You old rascal, are you kidding me?

Wang Wu cursed inwardly, but dared not show it. He simply focused his gaze and saw that they were indeed all good treasures, averaging at least first-grade. However, was he going to borrow a magic weapon?
In addition, this was most likely left behind by Lu Ji. Considering the unfathomable background of the Lu family, Wang Wu really didn't dare to take it.

He immediately cupped his hands and said righteously, "Grandpa Huang, since it is the world-suppressing treasure cauldron left by our ancestor, it cannot be used lightly. I am confident that I can defeat Mu Qingli!"

"Young Master Shan, I hope you understand what you're saying. Don't act impulsively. This competition for the Heavenly Pride Ranking is of great significance and absolutely cannot be lost!"

Grandpa Huang was unusually serious, and his eyes, which seemed to be burning with ghostly light, made Wang Wu feel incredibly pressured.

This old man is a bit too powerful.

At that moment, he calmly smiled and said, "Grandpa Huang, I am not a child, and I would never joke about my own life. To be honest, compared to magic weapons, I currently lack rare items and cultivation techniques more."

Grandpa Huang stared at Wang Wu for a long time, then suddenly laughed, "Not bad, not bad, Young Master Shan, you have indeed become stronger. If it were just about rare items and cultivation techniques, it would be too easy. Go, you can choose three rare items, but you shouldn't be greedy for too many cultivation techniques, you can only choose one!"

After saying that, Grandpa Huang waved his sleeve, and Wang Wu was instantly teleported to another area.
