Starting with a useless yellow dog, he swept through the immortal realm.

The group naturally didn't understand why Zhong Li was acting so strangely, but after confirming that he had indeed left, Song Xun and the others continued down the mountain.

However, Zhong Li specifically mentioned before leaving that he would come to see Song Xun again, so Song Xun also included Zhong Li in his list of potential threats.

After all, Zhong Li is also an enemy with the cultivation level of the early stage of the Void Refinement Realm. If Song Xun were to fight Zhong Li one-on-one, he would probably not fare well.

However, as Song Xun contracted more and more beasts, his human wave tactics were beginning to take shape.

The reason why the white deer has not been involved in many battles is because its cultivation level is not high enough, not because it lacks combat ability.

Once Xiaobai and Qingya's cultivation and combat abilities improve, Song Xun will be even less likely to find himself fighting alone.

Although he was a beast tamer, Song Xun did not have the shortcomings of other beast tamers, and even enhanced the advantages of beast tamers.

At this moment, Zhongli was already heading towards Hantian City. He planned to return to Hantian City and write a letter to his master, Tiebei. After all, it wasn't that Zhongli didn't want to complete the mission, but rather that he couldn't.

In addition, Zhong Li had his own reasons for choosing to go to Hantian City. Although he estimated that Song Xun and his group would also return to Hantian City, there was a rule in Hantian City that no cultivator could fight in Hantian City. Violators, regardless of their status, would be hunted down by the Imperial City's Demon Extermination Division.

In his letter to Tie Bei, Zhong Li explained the reasons for the failure of the first mission and promised to carry out the mission again when Song Xun was alone.

As for when Song Xun will be alone, that's not something Zhong Li can decide. All he has to do is create a suitable reason for himself to stay in the capital for a while longer.

If Zhongli could avoid returning to the Qingyun Sect, he would not want to. When the secret technique was first implemented, the focus was on whether each disciple made a mistake.

Now, they are completely unscrupulous. As long as the sect determines that you are a disciple who cannot advance any further, then congratulations, you will become expendable material for other disciples.

The entire Qingyun Sect is now completely distorted. Zhong Li doesn't know where the sect leader obtained that secret technique, nor does he want to know.

Zhongli now only wants to survive in the Qingyun Sect, then find an opportunity to leave the sect and live a leisurely life in the future.

However, Zhongli himself knew that in today's chaotic world, there was probably no place where he could live a carefree life.

If Zhongli were lucky enough to get the chance to leave the Qingyun Sect, he would probably choose to go to Cangwu County, because he had heard that it was one of the few places where society was still relatively decent.

Disciples like Zhong Li, who frequently go on missions, are different from those of sects like the Beast Taming Sect and the Myriad Swords Sect, whose missions are mostly within Cangwu County.

They had long seen the devastation in this society, and it was precisely because of this that Zhongli had become disillusioned with the entire society.

Zhongli, who was already disappointed with the Qingyun Sect, was now also disappointed with the entire Hantian Dynasty.

I've only heard that the situation is even worse in the other dynasties and kingdoms.

Zhong Li lay in the luxurious apartment in the office, lost in thought, before preparing to drift off to sleep.

Meanwhile, Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng had arrived at the Star Pavilion and found Hong Sheng. Hong Sheng was overjoyed after seeing him.

"As expected, Jiang Lie's daughter is indeed extraordinary."

"This Myriad Swords Spirit Grass is the most suitable sword spirit for you."

The Myriad Swords Spirit Grass is considered a king among the Sword Spirit Grass clan, and Jiang Wanfeng gained its recognition so easily.

Moreover, this is a Ten Thousand Swords Spirit Herb that has already been cultivated to a high level, so Jiang Wanfeng doesn't need to spend any extra effort to cultivate it.

"Give me this little sword grass, and I will fuse it into your spirit sword. It will probably take about two days."

Hong Sheng told him to go back and wait, then turned and went into his foundry.

The Myriad Swords Sect is, after all, a first-rate sect, so it also has its own office in Hantian City, although its scale is naturally not as large as that of the Azure Cloud Sect.

Therefore, Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng went directly to the office of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, intending to rest there for two days.

These offices are generally like the inns set up by the Beast Taming Sect in Yanbei City, with a large number of rooms for visiting disciples and guests.

The person in charge of the Wanjian Sect's office in Hantian City was a true disciple of the Wanjian Sect.

Wang Peng is the eldest disciple of the Second Elder of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and has been sent to Hantian City for several years.

At this moment, Hong Sheng was immersed in his own world of forging.

For Hong Sheng, completing the forging of a prodigy's natal spiritual weapon was something he was very happy to do. After all, given the talent Jiang Wanfeng had shown, as long as she didn't die young, her future achievements would at least be no less than Jiang Lie's.

The probability of Jiang Wanfeng dying young is also very small, after all, she has a father like Jiang Lie.

In the world today, there are not many who can persuade Hong Sheng to forge spiritual weapons for them, after all, the Star Pavilion has a very transcendent status because of the Immortal Lord.

The reason Jiang Lie was able to persuade Hong Sheng to forge Jiang Wanfeng's natal spirit sword was because the two had known each other since childhood and had traveled the world together.

Later, after Jiang Lie returned to the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and succeeded as sect leader, he tried his best to invite Hong Sheng to serve as an elder in the Ten Thousand Swords Sect. However, Hong Sheng was obsessed with forging techniques at the time and eventually joined the Star Pavilion.

After years of accumulation, Hong Sheng has now become the deputy head of the Star Pavilion and a world-renowned master blacksmith.

After that, Jiang Lie and Hong Sheng maintained contact and frequently interacted, so Hong Sheng did indeed meet Jiang Wanfeng when she was young.

It has been more than a decade since Hong Sheng last visited the Ten Thousand Swords Sect.

After asking around, Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng arrived at the office of the Ten Thousand Swords Sect, but the entrance did look rather desolate.

After all, most of the Wanjian Sect's activities are confined to the Qingyun Sect's territory. Establishing such an office in the imperial city is merely a response to the imperial court's policy of being friendly to sects.

This office is very similar to the Beast Taming Sect Inn in Yanbei City; both are three-story buildings, except that this one also has a large courtyard and several rooms at the back.

The two entered the inn, where only two disciples were guarding the first floor.

When the two of them went to Hantian City, Jiang Wanfeng did not inform the Wanjian Sect's office in Hantian City in advance.

Now that they were going to stay in Hantian City for a few days, Song Xun and Jiang Wanfeng naturally didn't need to go to any other inns.

"Who are you two looking for?"

A disciple saw someone walk in and went up to ask.

"Find Wang Peng."

"May I ask what business you two have with Senior Brother Wang?"

At this time, Wang Peng was not in the office, and Jiang Wanfeng directly handed her token to the two disciples.

Jiang Wanfeng's Wanjian Sect token was just an ordinary token for a true disciple, but it bore Jiang Wanfeng's name.

The two disciples only realized that Jiang Wanfeng had come to the office when they saw the token. They had just been promoted to inner disciples after joining the Ten Thousand Swords Sect and were sent to the Hantian City office, so they had not recognized Jiang Wanfeng before.

"Senior Sister Jiang, I'm so sorry for not greeting you sooner! What brings you here?"

"We need to stay here for two days. Where is Wang Peng?"

"Senior Sister Jiang, Senior Brother Wang is currently unavailable. I'll go and fetch him right away."

The disciple who had spoken up hurriedly ran out to find Wang Peng, while the remaining disciple quickly arranged two superior bedrooms for Jiang Wanfeng and Song Xun.

"Please rest here for a while. Senior Brother Wang Peng should be back soon."

At this moment, Wang Peng was drinking in the residence of the Fourth Prince of the Imperial City. He was still quite bewildered when the disciple came to find him.

"Senior Brother Wang, Senior Brother Wang."

"What is the matter? Do not make a fuss in the prince's residence!"

"Senior Brother Wang! Senior Sister Jiang is here!"

"Senior Sister Jiang? You all should serve her well."

Afterwards, Wang Peng turned around again to prepare to drink with the Fourth Prince Changde.

"Let's continue. My subordinates are just being incompetent."

At this moment, the fourth prince, Changde, did not mind at all.

"If Brother Wang has something to attend to, we can meet another day."

"What could have happened? Probably one of the true disciples has arrived."

"Oh, why not invite them over for drinks and fun?"

At this moment, the disciple who came to deliver the message spoke again.

"Senior Brother Wang, it's Senior Sister Jiang Wanfeng!"

"Jiang Wanfeng? Ah! It's Jiang Wanfeng!"

"Your Highness, I may indeed have to return."

When Wang Peng heard his disciple say that the visitor was Jiang Wanfeng, he instantly sobered up considerably and hurriedly bid farewell to the Fourth Prince, Changde.

"Hehe, Brother Wang, I wonder who this Jiang Wanfeng is, that he could make you so astonished."

Changde noticed that Wang Peng was acting strangely and asked him a question out of curiosity.

"Senior Sister Jiang Wanfeng is the daughter of our sect leader, Jiang Lie."

Upon hearing the answer, Changde was secretly startled, but his face remained impassive. After a quick glance around, he also spoke up.

"So it's your senior sister from your sect. Brother Wang, you should hurry back and greet her. We'll meet again another day."

"Thank you for your understanding, Your Highness. I will definitely bring fine wine to visit you another day to express my gratitude."

"Brother Wang, there's no need to be so polite."

Afterwards, Wang Peng hurriedly left the Fourth Prince's residence and returned to the office.

After Wang Peng left, Chang De, who had been drunk, calmly gave instructions to one of his servants.

"Go and find out why Jiang Wanfeng came to the capital, and see if we can win her over."

"Yes, ma'am."

Afterwards, Changde stood up and went back to his room. In the past few months, he had often invited Wang Peng to his residence for gatherings. He had long since discovered that Wang Peng was a good-for-nothing. After arriving at the Imperial City Office, he had neglected his cultivation and spent his days indulging in pleasure.

However, Changde still tried to please him by frequently inviting him to drinks, hoping to use Wang Peng as a connection to get to know some authoritative disciples or high-ranking members of the Wanjian Sect. But to his surprise, for several months in a row, not a single person of any real importance showed up.

Changde had originally wanted to give up, but unexpectedly, a new path opened up for them.

"So Wang Peng's efforts weren't in vain. I didn't expect the first person to arrive to be such a big shot."

Changde muttered to himself in the room, while Wang Peng had already rushed back to the office.

"Where is Senior Sister Jiang?"

"Senior Sister Jiang and Peak Master Song are already resting in their bedroom on the second floor. Should I go and call them over?"

"Peak Master Song? Who is Peak Master Song?"

"It's Song Xun, the peak master of the Beast Taming Sect."

Although Wang Peng had never heard of Song Xun, he knew that someone who could come with Jiang Wanfeng was definitely not an ordinary person.

"I'll go and call them myself."

Wang Peng hurriedly went up to the second floor, then walked to Jiang Wanfeng's door and called out softly.

"Senior Sister Jiang, this is Wang Peng. Are you resting?"

A moment later, Jiang Wanfeng pushed open the door and came out, followed by Song Xun.

Wang Peng immediately looked at the two of them. Didn't the disciple just say that the two of them were in two separate rooms?

Seeing Wang Peng's expression, Jiang Wanfeng explained.

"This is Peak Master Song of Qingxuan Peak of the Beast Taming Sect. We just happened to be inside discussing some matters related to this trip."

"Okay, okay, Senior Sister Jiang."

Wang Peng nodded in agreement, while giving the two of them a look.

Don't worry, I understand, I'll definitely keep it a secret.

"Hello, Fellow Daoist Wang."

"Hello, hello, Peak Master Song is so young, and truly accomplished at such a young age."

At this moment, Wang Peng was also amazed. Song Xun looked so young, yet he was already the peak master of the Beast Taming Sect.

Although the Beast Taming Sect is not as powerful as their Myriad Swords Sect, the peak master is still a high-ranking member of the Beast Taming Sect.

He even walked out of the same room as Senior Sister Jiang. Peak Master Song is indeed extraordinary!
