Wan Jian returns to his clan!

Chapter 14 The Obedient Senior Sister
"This journey is fraught with danger, and the outcome is uncertain. Yun Chong, you and the others should return to the mountain first. You don't need to come with me to Tiger Ridge Pass."

After pondering for a long time, Ouyang glanced at the horse carcass and finally changed his mind.

"After you return to the mountain, tell your master's wife that things have changed and that if you can spare the time, you should provide assistance as soon as possible. She understands what I mean."

"father."

Ouyang Lan wanted to go to Huling Pass with her father, but thinking of what had happened earlier, she felt a little guilty and was very conflicted.

"Don't be stubborn, Dad will take you on another training session next time."

Ouyang Zheng frowned, on the verge of anger, but then softened his tone and said, "The main problem is that this time we are facing the Northern Zhou Demonic Sect. Although on the surface only the Yellow Springs and Blood Lotus demons are showing up, we may also encounter experts from the Samsara Sect."

If things don't go smoothly, I can always retreat. Your cultivation is insufficient; if you encounter real danger, things will be very difficult.

Speaking of it.

Ouyang Zheng carefully instructed, "You guys should not delay on the way, and do not cause trouble... Wu Bing's previous warning was correct; this mission may have other hidden secrets, so we must be careful."

"Master, don't worry, I will take good care of my junior sister and brother."

Wu Yunchong responded in a deep voice.

His internal energy cultivation had reached the point where nine meridians were open, making him a peak seventh-grade martial artist. Moreover, he practiced the Tianquan Sword, a secret technique of the Tianxing Sect's Seven Star Sword, and his swordsmanship was meticulous and refined, making him extremely powerful in combat.

This can be seen from the previous sudden attack.

Ouyang Lan, who had mastered the Seven Star Sword's Yao Guang Sword technique, was caught off guard by a rain of needles...

Even with exquisite swordsmanship and powerful attacks, they were caught off guard and couldn't even draw their swords.

Wu Yunchong, who was also caught off guard, channeled his inner energy, shaking the air around him and causing the blood needles to pause for a moment.

Thus, the delicate rain of swords swept away the vast expanse of needle rain, avoiding vital points.

The difference in their cultivation levels was immediately apparent.

"Yun Chong's cultivation and swordsmanship are sufficient for traveling the world without fear of disaster. However, it's always good to think things through before acting and to be extra careful. If you encounter any trouble on the road, ask Xiao Jiu for her opinion and don't act on your own."

After thinking about it, Ouyang Zheng still couldn't help but add something.

"Xiaojiu?"

Wu Yunchong looked slightly taken aback, but immediately realized what was happening.

The "Little Nine" that Master mentioned is none other than the Ninth Junior Brother, Lu Wubing.

The sect leader's solemn tone indicated that he highly approved of Lu Wubing's actions, thus adding him to the list of personal disciples.

They even used the affectionate nickname "Little Nine".

It is easy to imagine how important this newly initiated junior brother is in the master's heart.

"Yes, disciple will obey your orders."

Wu Yunchong respectfully accepted.

"Dad, come home soon."

Ouyang Lan looked reluctant, her eyes slightly red, and said in a muffled voice.

"You silly child." Ouyang Zheng reached out his large hand and gently stroked Xiao Lan's hair, the corners of his mouth involuntarily turning up.

"Don't underestimate your father. He's just a mere clown demon, utterly vulnerable."

After saying this, Ouyang Zheng turned around, slung his sword over his shoulder, took a step, and disappeared around the corner.

"Ugh!"

Ouyang Lan sighed.

Feeling bored on the mountain, she happily followed her father down the mountain, saying it was for training, but they spent most of their time sightseeing.

The days after we came down the mountain were filled with new experiences, much more fun than those on the mountain.

However, what happened today told her that while it was fun down the mountain, it wasn't all that fun.

One wrong move and you could lose your life.

Thinking back to the brush with death she had just narrowly escaped, Ouyang Lan still felt lingering fear.

"Let's go back, I miss my mother a little too."

Ouyang Lan sighed, feeling somewhat downcast.

"Let's go back to Jiangzhou City first and buy a few horses for transportation." Wu Yunchong led the way: "Perfect timing, a batch of fine horses arrived at the horse market in the north of the city a while ago."

"Senior brother, wait a moment."

Lu Wubing suddenly spoke.

"I feel that we cannot return to Jiangzhou City."

Dude, have you forgotten something?
My family had just survived a crisis of annihilation; a large group of people from the East Sea Sword Sect were only driven away, not killed.

Perhaps he's still secretly watching from Jiangzhou City? With your great master and sect leader not around, how dare you run into Jiangzhou City?

"You mean the East Sea Sword Sect? They dare to harm my Heavenly Star Sect disciples?"

Wu Yunchong asked in surprise.

He then added, "Junior brother, your considerations are indeed thorough, but perhaps you're overthinking it. If you hadn't joined the Tianxing Sect back then, you might be worried that the Donghai Sect would take action..."

"Third senior brother, Father just said that we should listen to junior brother's opinions in everything."

Ouyang Lan suddenly interrupted.

"Uh……"

Wu Yunchong blushed deeply and forced a smile, saying, "I'll do whatever you say, Junior Brother."

Seeing that Senior Sister Xiaolan was looking at him expectantly, Lu Wubing thought to himself that although this girl looked clever and lively, she was actually very well-behaved.

I don't know why she trusts me so much.

Could it be because he's handsome?

Or perhaps her earlier act of saving someone with her sword earned her admiration and gratitude, leading her to reciprocate?

Regardless of their intentions.

It's always good to trust your own judgment.

Otherwise, as a beginner with little influence, I would face many troubles along the way.

"Let's take a detour around the city. Try to avoid the main roads."

Lu Wubing took the lead without hesitation.

It's a matter of life and death.

Some dangers are better believed to exist than not.

He had many profound lessons from his past life.

When you feel that things might go in a bad direction, then things will definitely turn out the worst possible way.

It is best to be cautious in all things.

"let's go."

As the sun began to set in the west, we had already left the Jiangzhou area and entered the southern mountains and forests, searching for a small path to follow.

The group possessed internal energy and were physically strong, but after walking for two hours, they were somewhat tired.

So we rested for a while, drank some water, and ate some dried meat pancakes.

Taking advantage of the opportunity, Ouyang Lan began to teach Lu Wubing how to use his internal energy to save energy and lighten his body.

“Junior brother, if it weren’t for the sect’s rules that require an assessment before you can be taught skills, with your talent and comprehension, learning the [Square Inch Step] in a short time wouldn’t be difficult.”

"It's alright. It's already good enough that I've learned a method to save effort."

Lu Wubing enthusiastically stimulated acupoints such as Yongquan, Chengshan, Taixi, and Zusanli.

I immediately felt much lighter...

Even when encountering some bumps and ditches, they can step over them easily, and their body balance has improved a lot.

'This isn't even considered light-footed skill; it's just a slight stimulation of acupoints that has such a miraculous effect.'

The wonders of martial arts cultivation in this world far exceed my imagination.

Some methods, which seemed utterly inconceivable in my past life, also possess a unique logic.

Lu Wubing thought about it happily and couldn't help but imagine the days he would spend at the Tianxing Sect.

While he practiced, Wu Yunchong couldn't stay still. He shaded his eyes with his hand, looked around, slapped his forehead, and laughed, "How could I forget? The eldest disciple of the old hero Zhang of Sifang Pavilion is at Chanxi Post Station. We can go and borrow a few horses."

"Is that Senior Brother Zhao who's with Uncle Zhang in Jiangzhou? I had a banquet hosted by him a couple of days ago, and Sister Zhang Shu was there too. She said she'd come to Tianxing Sect to visit me for the Qixi Festival."

Upon hearing this, Ouyang Lan perked up.

With a ride available, who would want to walk?

From Jiangzhou to Xiangzhou, the journey back on foot was long and arduous, and it was exhausting.

"It's Zhao Fangshun. He and Zhang Shu are in love and their wedding is approaching. Even if we can't go down the mountain in a few days, we still have to send a gift. The disciples of Sifang Pavilion have been running around these past few days, which has been a great help to us."

Lu Wubing looked back at the road they had come from and realized that it was already thirty miles south of Jiangzhou City. After thinking about it, he decided not to spoil their fun.

They followed Wu Yun and headed down to the town at the foot of the mountain.
