I have a martial arts panel.

Chapter 219 Qingying's Request

"Senior, I am not from a prominent family."

However, Xu Ning's answer was beyond Wan Ye's expectations.

"I grew up in a clan in Kangyun County, Feiyun Prefecture."

Xu Ning added another sentence.

"Kangyun County, Feiyun Prefecture..."

Although Wan Ye didn't know exactly where Kangyun County was, he was certain that it was a small place that he had never paid attention to before.

"To have achieved so much from such a background is truly remarkable, incredibly remarkable!"

Wan Ye was very satisfied with Xu Ning, and he had already decided in his heart that Xu Ning was the successor of the sect.

However, Wanye did not immediately reveal his true thoughts.

If we express ourselves too hastily, it might arouse Xu Ning's suspicion and have the opposite effect.

At this moment, Xu Ning also noticed Wan Ye's unusual behavior.

"This Grandmaster of the Dao Realm seems quite satisfied with my aptitude..."

Xu Ning could sense Wan Ye's excitement.

From Wan Ye's eyes, Xu Ning sensed that this person seemed to have some expectations of him.

"Xu Ning..."

After calming down, Wan Ye decided to first establish a good relationship with Xu Ning.

"senior……"

Xu Ning adopted a listening posture.

"This little thing, if I'm not mistaken, should be a Void Beast, right?"

Wan Ye glanced at Hui Bai and chatted with Xu Ning.

"Senior is right, it is a Void Beast."

Xu Ning did not hide anything.

At this moment, after breaking free from Wan Ye's restraints, Gray White cautiously approached Xu Ning from behind, its eyes filled with timidity as it looked at Wan Ye.

"Void Beast..."

Wan Ye clicked his tongue in amazement: "Void beasts with such pure bloodlines are rare even in Wansheng Prefecture... It's truly remarkable to see one in Jifeng Prefecture."

Xu Ning gave a forced smile but didn't reply.

"By the way, I came here to find my beast."

Wanye suddenly said.

As soon as he finished speaking, Xu Ning was startled.

The gray-white creature hiding at Xu Ning's feet also twitched its fur.

"As expected, this Grandmaster of the Dao Realm is here to find that Azure Wolf demon beast..."

Xu Ning glanced at Hui Bai, looking quite worried.

The grayish-white reaction just now was clearly abnormal, and the fact that the old man noticed it directly indicates that the loss of his beast was related to both of them.

Even if he doesn't press himself and Gray White, he can still ask other members of the Moon Gazing Sect.

The fact that the blue wolf demon beast had been subdued was almost impossible to conceal.

"It finally disappeared in this villa..."

Wanye added, "Although its aura has disappeared, I'm fairly certain it's still alive... If I'm not mistaken, you must have used some means to hide it... Now, release it..."

"this……"

Faced with Wan Ye, Xu Ning was momentarily at a loss as to whether or not to reveal the truth.

The other party spoke with great certainty when they said that, and if I continued to deny it, I might just anger them.

However, if the blue wolf demon beast is released, the secret of the demon beast map will inevitably be exposed.

"What? Are you having reservations?"

Wan Ye chuckled: "Don't worry, I know Qingying's personality. After it escaped from my side, it will definitely cause trouble. As long as you don't kill it, I will definitely not punish you."

Xu Ning's face showed a look of weighing his options.

Although he wasn't entirely sure, Xu Ning felt that the old man in front of him probably didn't have any murderous intent.

If he really wanted to punish himself and Gray, he wouldn't need to be so amiable.

As a Grandmaster of the Dao Realm, he had countless ways to deal with himself.

"gray."

Xu Ning made up his mind and gently kicked the gray-white things at his feet.

"Release that blue wolf..."

Xu Ning said softly to Gray White.

"Oh?"

Wan Ye looked at the gray-white figure. At first, he thought it was Xu Ning who had used some tricks, but now it seemed that it was the Void Beast that had made the move.

Gray also obeyed Xu Ning's orders.

It activated its bloodline power and threw the blue wolf demon beast out of the demon beast diagram.

When the blue wolf demon beast was thrown out, it landed headfirst.

It hurriedly got up and found that it had been released from the monster picture.

Upon seeing the vast wilderness before him, the Azure Wolf Beast was extremely excited.

"Master, you really came to save me!"

The blue wolf demon wagged its tail and moved closer to Wan Ye.

"I almost didn't see you again!" the blue wolf demon cried out, turning to look at Xu Ning and the gray-white figure with a triumphant and vengeful glint in its eyes. "This man and this beast not only beat me up, but also locked me in a separate space. I suffered terribly..."

"Qingying, you ran away without permission, and you still have the nerve to call me master?"

Wan Ye's face hardened, his expression turning serious: "If you hadn't provoked them, why would they have attacked you and imprisoned you?"

The blue wolf named Qingying looked up at Wanye, its expression freezing instantly.

Wanye actually turned around and scolded him?

This was not at all what I had imagined.

"I have repeatedly told you not to be playful and to not indulge your bloodline and bestial nature. If your bestial nature is unleashed, you will completely lose yourself and become a killing monster. When that happens, even if no one else cares, I will have to kill you with my own hands."

In Wan Ye's words, besides the warning, there was actually a hint of murderous intent.

After being scolded, Qingying lowered her head and pretended to be dejected.

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning recalled the terrifying killing intent within the illusory image of the Azure Wolf's will, as well as the blood mist released by the Azure Wolf demon beast before him.

Judging from these methods, this blue wolf is indeed bloodthirsty to the core.

"Go lie down over there."

Wan Ye said coldly to Qing Ying, "I'll decide how to punish you later."

Qingying originally wanted to plead, but after seeing Wanye's expression, she slunk away to the side.

"Xu Ning, you've really gone to a lot of trouble looking after Qingying for me these past few days."

Wanye stroked his beard as he spoke.

Xu Ning was slightly taken aback, then said, "Senior, you flatter me..."

As he spoke, Xu Ning was also pondering in his heart.

The Dao Realm Grandmaster before them showed no dissatisfaction with imprisoning the Azure Wolf demon beast; in fact, he even extended a gesture of goodwill.

Moreover, he did not inquire about the methods by which Gray White imprisoned and released the Azure Wolf demon beast, showing no sign of offense.

"I almost forgot..."

Wan Ye slapped his forehead: "I don't think I've told you my identity yet."

"My name is Manyo, and people outside call me Old Man Manyo."

Wanye revealed his identity.

"Old Man Wanye?"

Xu Ning's eyes twitched, clearly surprised.

The Old Man of Wanye was one of the reasons why the Biye Sect came to Wansheng Prefecture.

And then, he appeared right in front of him.

"You are a disciple of the Yuelan Sect, so you should know that the people of Wansheng Prefecture are currently searching for me."

Wanye said.

Xu Ning nodded upon hearing this: "I understand."

Do you know why they are looking for me?

Wanye countered with a question.

"It seems it's to obtain something called a sect token..."

Xu Ning tentatively said.

Xu Ning had heard Mi Xingye and Qiu Renshan mention it when he was still in the sect.

However, Xu Ning did not know what the sect token was.

"That's right, they're after the sect token."

Mano also directly admitted it.

"Sect Token? What is that?"

Although Xu Ning didn't know why Wan Ye brought this up, he listened attentively.

"In the seventeen states of Yuanbei today, the power in each state is extremely fragmented, making it difficult for any single entity to dominate. Even the Yuansheng Sect in Feiyun State can only be said to command various factions, not to achieve absolute control."

Wan Ye said, "But it's different in Wansheng Prefecture. Wansheng Prefecture is ruled by the dynasty, and the imperial court controls everything."

"Wansheng Prefecture is actually ruled by a dynasty that controls everything?"

This was something Xu Ning hadn't expected at all.

In Xu Ning's view, a place like Wansheng Prefecture, where powerful figures were numerous, should have a more dispersed power structure. He never expected that the imperial court would be in control of everything.

Establishing a dynasty in the world of martial arts is an extremely difficult task.

Not only must one possess overwhelming strength, but one must also ensure that super martial arts geniuses emerge generation after generation among one's own bloodline descendants.

If the martial arts geniuses who are passed down cannot keep up, then the dynasty will be under pressure from all sides, and may even collapse.

"Indeed, there is a Grandmaster among the imperial family."

Fearing that Xu Ning might not understand, Wan Ye explained further: "Grandmaster is a realm beyond the Dao Realm, an unfathomable realm."

"Above the Dao Realm..."

Upon hearing this, Xu Ning's heart pounded.

This was far too far away for Xu Ning.

But hearing it now fills me with longing.

"The sect token is a certificate issued by the imperial court to recognize the official status of a sect."

Wan Ye said, "Only those who possess a sect token can enjoy the protection of the imperial court and recruit disciples and expand their power without any hindrance. Those sects that do not have a sect token and are not recognized by the imperial court can only struggle to obtain resources in a chaotic martial arts environment that is not governed by the imperial court."

"I see..."

Although Xu Ning couldn't personally experience the benefits of possessing the sect token, according to Wan Ye's words, this sect token was definitely a rare treasure.

There are only two ways to obtain the sect token.

Wan Ye continued, "Either you reach the seventh level of the Dao Realm, apply to the imperial court, and after the court reviews your application, it will issue a sect decree."

"Either we seize the sect token from a declining official sect and take its place as the official sect..."

At this point, a hint of helplessness appeared in Wan Ye's eyes.

Xu Ning also noticed this.

He also had his own guesses about this.

This old man from Wanye is very likely the successor of a declining sect.

He carried the sect token from Wansheng Prefecture to the seventeenth prefecture of Yuanbei.

When the people of the Azure Night Sect learned of this news, they came to search for him, hoping to seize the sect token and obtain official sect status.

As expected, Wanye then offered an explanation.

His explanation was basically the same as Xu Ning's guess.

"Now that the sect's token is in my hands, if I cannot find a suitable successor, then the sect will only perish..."

Wan Ye's gaze towards Xu Ning began to fill with hope. His attitude was sincere as he asked Xu Ning, "Xu Ning, would you be willing to rebuild my sect?"

Thank you to Boss Liang and Boss Mingjian for the donations!
