From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

That's how it is.

Taking advantage of the dark clouds obscuring the moon, the seven wolves hurriedly ran through the pine forest, evading the detection of the other scouts and guards. They rushed down the mountain and headed towards the town, determined to steal the silk, seize the bowls and chopsticks, abduct the horses, and take the princess away to present to the Black Wind King, hoping to make a name for themselves.

The night is deep.

The seven wolves arrived at the town entrance, exchanged a glance, and used illusion magic to transform into human form. They then entered the town together, heading towards the inn where Jiang Liu was resting, intending to coordinate with Wang Xiao'er from the inside...

Chapter 1389 A Plan to Enter the Mountains

Meanwhile, inside the inn, the candlelight had gone out. Jiang Liu glanced at the sky and prepared to launch a night raid on Black Wind Mountain, annihilate the demons, and retrieve "Eye of Joy," one of the Six Roots.

Those six senses were evolved by Jiang Liu after he created the primordial world, based on his six supernatural powers of Confucianism: clear eyes that see in the night, ears that hear heavenly sounds, nose that smells the fragrance of books, tongue that speaks like lotus flowers, body that is untouched by dust, and mind that is as round as a mirror. They were also an important medium for Jiang Liu to achieve his ultimate goal.

At the same time, obtaining those six roots and traveling westward would also allow Jiang Liu to completely control the six roots within his body.

The path of cultivation, besides following the laws of heaven and earth and the laws of the universe, also requires facing the three corpses, six thieves, and nine worms, either eliminating them or controlling them.

Jiang Liu has already bestowed the titles of Three Corpse Gods, transforming them into the Three Pure Ones; the Nine Insects have also been controlled, becoming the mounts of the Nine Aperture Immortals and Buddhas within him; only the Six Thieves within his body have not yet completely submitted…

Just as he got up and jumped out of the window, he saw seven masked bandits burst in from the street corner and smelled a bloody stench as they hurried toward the inn.

He raised an eyebrow and laughed, "Hey! I didn't go looking for trouble with that black bear who rules the mountain, but that black bear actually sent people down the mountain to rob us."

"You're here?"

Just as Jiang Liu was about to make a move, his ears twitched, and he heard the innkeeper's voice coming from under the eaves of the inn, "Those fat sheep are sleeping upstairs. You take their valuables out first, and I'll take you to the merchant's room to kidnap the princess."

"That's too much trouble."

The wolf assassin, impatient, said, "I'll just slit his throat! That'll be the end of it, give him a quick death!"

The waiter was shocked and hurriedly stopped the wolf assassin, saying, "No, no, if he dies in the inn, the innkeeper will not get away with it, and I will be questioned by the officials. We should just kidnap the princess. Afterwards, we can say that she got lost on her own and we can't blame anyone else."

Why is being human so complicated?

"The wolf assassin growled."

"You're even worse than us monsters."

Wolf Warrior, however, was not polite and cursed at Wang Xiaoer.

Good guy!

It turns out that humans and demons conspired to murder for money!

Jiang Liu chuckled, understanding what had happened. While they were still chatting idly downstairs, he went straight into Kui Lang and Bai Hua Ai's room, woke them up, and then covered their mouths and noses first, whispering, "We came to the wrong place. The innkeeper is a villain. He overheard us chatting while we were eating and called some thugs from the mountains to kill you, steal our goods, and even kidnap your wife to the mountain bandit king as his wife."

After saying that, he let go.

Na Kui Lang was startled, but dared not speak loudly: "Hero, what should we do?"

Baihua Ai was rather shrewd, and asked Jiang Liu, "Master Yuanjue, now that you've discovered this, you must have a way to deal with them?"

"My sister-in-law is intelligent."

Jiang Liu smiled faintly and explained his plan: "I came here for three reasons: first, to inform you; second, to switch rooms with you; and third, if a fight breaks out and someone dies, I hope you, brother and sister-in-law, will act as witnesses for me, so that I don't end up in jail."

"We will certainly bear witness for Master Yuanjue!"

Kui Lang was anxious and was about to lead Bai Hua Ai to Jiang Liu's room, but Bai Hua Ai stopped him and advised, "Husband, don't be in such a hurry. If we go there now, we might alert the enemy."

"Yes."

Kui Lang calmed down a bit and asked Jiang Liu, "Master, do you have any magic to send us directly to your room?"

"I don't possess such magical abilities..."

[Yeah, right!]

Seeing the couple's tension, Jiang Liu comforted them, saying, "Sister-in-law, you're just worried. It's late at night, and if they wanted to rob us, they wouldn't dare make a big fuss. Once they hear any noise, they'll surely lie low."

There are no toilets in the inn rooms; the toilet is in the backyard. So, muster your courage and go out to use the restroom together, then go to my room. I'll stay here...

Those thieves certainly wouldn't dare to enter the inn to investigate.

Kui Lang's breath hitched, and his body trembled. How could he dare to go out?

Baihua Ai also felt a bit scared, but she mustered her courage and called out, "My lord, my stomach hurts. I think I ate something bad... It's dark. Will you come with me to the outhouse?"

"Ah good!"

Kui Lang's voice trembled, but he still answered.

Watching the two leave, Jiang Liu thought to himself, "Since I'm going west to Baoxiang, I need to cultivate my courage."

I can protect you for a time, but I can't protect you forever...

However, even in this primordial world, the reincarnation of Baihuaxiu possessed such courage and bravery!

Outside the inn.

When Wang Xiaoer and Seven Wolves heard the commotion upstairs, they immediately fell silent, not daring to breathe. They only calmed down after hearing the creaking of the stairs twice and the bang of the door closing.

They waited another half an hour before pushing open the door and entering.

Wolf scouts and wolf assassins stood guard at the door, while wolf guards and wolf servants went to the backyard to move live animals. Wolf swordsmen and wolf strongmen followed Wang Xiaoer upstairs stealthily, heading towards the original room of Kui Lang and Bai Hua Ai.

And that wolf archer—

His gaze was deep and fixed on Wang Xiaoer's back.

The wolf is old and cunning; to ensure everything goes perfectly, this young man must not be allowed to live!

[Afterwards, killing them will be perfect for me to consume, replenishing my energy and drawing upon their spiritual essence!]

Wang Xiaoer felt a chill creep down his spine, but he also felt guilty. He took a breath, mustered his courage, and cautiously pushed open the door. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the "couple" sleeping in each other's arms on the bed.

The wolf warrior immediately stepped forward and shook the Kui Lang, which was made from the hairs on Jiang Liu's body. Hearing that the snoring was even louder, he couldn't help but laugh and said, "This couple must be exhausted from their long journey. They're sleeping so soundly, which is convenient."

Upon hearing this, the wolf swordsman hurriedly stepped forward and searched the place, but found nothing of value.

"Stop touching him. People take off their clothes to sleep. What can you possibly feel on him? Help me out and bring Princess Baoxiang out of there."

The wolf warrior was speechless and shoved the wolf swordsman.

The latter understood immediately, bent down, and lifted up the hundred flowers that the river had transformed into.

Whether it was the wolf warrior's movements that were too forceful or the wolf swordsman's strength that caused "Hundred Flowers Love" to wake up, crying out, "Husband! Husband! Wake up!"

"Oops!"

Seeing that Kui Lang, whose hair had changed drastically, suddenly open his eyes, the wolf swordsman panicked, drew his sword from his waist, and stabbed it into Kui Lang's heart. With a "thud," blood stained the wooden bed red.

"Dead!"

Wang Xiaoer was already feeling guilty, and when he saw the dead body, he panicked and actually cried out.

This shout startled the other guest rooms.

The wolf demon carrying goods in the courtyard was not very skilled to begin with. When it realized that its trick had been exposed, it broke its illusion spell and revealed its wolf head.

"monster!"

"There are monsters!"

"It's a wolf demon!"

"The wolf demon is stealing something!"

The shout startled the neighbors, who lit candles and torches, and went out to fight the wolf demon.

"It's the waiter!"

"He brought the wolf demon to the town!"

When a guest saw Wang Xiaoer with the wolf demon, he quickly shouted.

In a short time.

Chaos reigned inside the inn.

The wolf swordsman and wolf warrior stuffed "Hundred Flowers' Love" into sacks, called on the other four wolf demons who couldn't carry the goods in time, abandoned Wang Xiao'er, and ran out of town...

Chapter 1390 Entering the Black Wind, Six Thieves Appear

Under the cover of night, the seven wolves ran back to the forest, panting, and put down the sack.

The wolf warrior sighed and said, "It's all your fault for waking him up."

Upon hearing this, the wolf swordsman angrily retorted, "Why blame me? I didn't get a single benefit!"

The wolf guard sat on a rock, stroking his rusty knife and tattered vine shield, looking worried: "I haven't taken any living creatures, so I can't supply the King. How can I get promoted? I'm just destined to be a laborer."

The wolf guard licked his lips and chuckled, "I don't care, I'm just a wolf guard of King Black Wind anyway."

The wolf assassin twitched his nose slightly and said leisurely, "If I had known this would happen, I should have just attacked from the beginning and given that man a quick death. At that time, even if the princess had woken up, I could have just knocked her unconscious."

The wolf scout, with his shifty eyes, looked left and right. Only after making sure that his other brethren hadn't discovered him did he breathe a sigh of relief and point at the sack, saying, "Brothers, don't complain. Didn't we capture the princess too?"

The oldest wolf archer, with the most determined mind, said frankly, "There are many unforeseen circumstances. It would be better to simply present the princess to the king."

Inside the sack, Jiang Liu overheard and witnessed the entire conversation between the seven wolves, understanding everything that had happened. He thought to himself, "Tsk tsk, these wolf warriors are different from other wolf demons. They don't crave blood, only wine. The wine is brewed from grains, making them grain spirits, so they do possess some intelligence. However, under the 'guidance' of that old Lingxuzi, they impersonated immortals in the town's ancestral hall, stealing the offerings of wine. Yet, they are powerless to help mortals with their desperate, sorrowful, greedy, or malicious prayers, finding even the fine wine in the bowl unappetizing..."

But it turned out to be a pipe dream, and he dared not be lazy again, diligently patrolling the mountain.

I don't know.

Once a thought arises in one's heart, how can it be resolved by a mere dream?

If one does not understand the unity of action and behavior, it is difficult to extinguish the six thieves of body and mind.

The old man, Ling Xuzi, believed he had enlightened the somewhat intelligent wolf cub, unaware that his enlightenment was precisely what was causing the cub's intelligence to gradually fade, until now it truly believed him to be a mountain demon...

Back then, they only dared to impersonate immortals in their dreams to swindle offerings and wine; now, they dare to gather the "Six Thieves" to go down the mountain and rob and plunder in order to make a living.

It wasn't unjust that old Ling Xuzi was killed by Xin Yuan back then!

These mediocre teachers and unorthodox practitioners, lacking the true character and virtue of immortals, dare to perform the work of education; who knows how many people they will harm!

With this thought in mind, Jiang Liu crawled out of the sack, startling the seven wolves that were approaching. He pretended to be weak and asked in surprise, "Are you monsters?"

"Exactly!"

Seeing that "Baihua Ai" had woken up, the wolf warrior also raised his head and chest and loudly admitted it.
