Zhong Weiju saw his father so respectfully and, hearing his father’s words, immediately understood the identity of the person who had arrived. He hurriedly knelt on the ground as well: "Greetings, Master Wan."

His heart was secretly astonished.

There was no doubt that someone of the late stage peak of the Divinity Transformation Realm had great power. His father was at mid-stage Nascent Soul cultivation, yet the Isolation Talisman in his hands was worthless in front of this powerhouse. Even when the person appeared, his father had not sensed it.

Especially since Tian Nan Peak was a thousand miles away from Yinzhou City, yet the person could appear so quickly here using the instant teleportation divine power of a peak Divinity Transformation Realm master — truly a divine skill.

Cultivation is cultivation, increasingly difficult as you progress, and each realm becomes a gap that cannot be breached.

Wan Daorong glanced at the Zhong family father and son and said lightly: "You may rise."

With a solemn expression, he fixed his gaze on Zhong Yilai and asked, "Is the matter you reported to me true?"

Zhong Yilai replied in fear, "Such a thing, how could the younger generation dare deceive you?"

Wan Daorong nodded silently.

The matter of Yang Fei and the family of three at Tianzhu Peak turning into enemies was something he was most aware of, and Bai Xumi was excessively protective. It was not odd for her to secretly have disciples attempt to kill Yang Fei.

Wan Daorong was internally furious; he couldn’t let that couple continue their reckless actions, or else Shang Qing Sect would eventually suffer because of them.

Yang Fei’s importance wasn’t unknown to Wang Yuanxiao, yet Bai Xumi still secretly sent people to kill him. Was this woman insane?

But it wasn’t the time to be angry; he suppressed his internal rage and asked, "Do you know where my disciple is currently?"

Zhong Yilai shook his head and then looked at Zhong Weiju: "Did Brother Xiao Yanfei ever mention this to you?"

Zhong Weiju hurriedly replied: "No, he only mentioned that he probably sent people to deal with Yang Fei previously, and guessed the ones sent out didn’t complete the task, so he came to ask me to handle it."

Wan Daorong frowned slightly and said, "Do not spread this matter externally."

Zhong Yilai and Zhong Weiju nodded repeatedly, promising they wouldn’t.

Concerning Shang Qing Sect’s internal matters, they naturally dared not speak wildly outside.

Zhong Yilai saw that Wan Daorong was about to leave and said, "Master Wan, my father and I plan to head to Beiyu to temporarily avoid trouble. Is this permissible?"

Wan Daorong, worried for Yang Fei’s safety, originally planned to leave to find Yang Fei when he heard Zhong Yilai say this. His heart moved, and he nodded silently.

Since the father and son were involved in this matter, to prevent them from leaking secrets, there was fear that the Tianzhu Peak side might indeed resort to silencing them brutally — they couldn’t stay in Yinzhou City anymore.

It was ultimately his disciple who implicated them.

After pondering momentarily, Wan Daorong said, "You’ll have to endure for a while. But doing nothing, just fleeing to Beiyu, with Tianzhu Peak’s vengeful nature, they probably won’t let you go. They have connections in Beiyu as well."

Zhong Yilai and Zhong Weiju immediately showed grave expressions.

Wan Daorong said, "Here’s what you do: pretend you never saw me and follow Xiao Yanfei’s plan to find my disciple. Once found, then act against him."

"Huh?" Zhong Weiju was momentarily confused, exclaiming.

Zhong Yilai also looked at Wan Daorong in confusion, hearing him continue: "I will follow all the way and personally ’kill’ you, worry not, I won’t actually kill you. I’ll fabricate a scene of false death, and then you can hide; Tianzhu Peak won’t pursue it further nor implicate your Zhong family."

Zhong Weiju nodded and said: "That’s good. Only death will ensure Xiao Yanfei trusts us father and son."

Zhong Yilai quickly replied: "We will follow Master Wan’s arrangement."

Wan Daorong looked at them apologetically and sighed: "The sect’s misfortune, having such degenerates, has made you suffer. But rest assured, Shang Qing Sect’s reputation of ten thousand years will not be destroyed by our generation. Eventually, we will give you a satisfactory answer."

Zhong Yilai fearfully said: "Master Wan overstated, our Zhong Family relies on Shang Qing Sect for its current status. Even if it means sacrificing for Shang Qing Sect, it’s willingly done, hoping Shang Qing Sect thrives forever, allowing our Zhong Family in Yinzhou City to continue our bloodline under its protection."

Wan Daorong nodded, reassured: "Go."

Immediately, Zhong Yilai took Zhong Weiju and left the cave.

Wan Daorong also disappeared at once.

As a late-stage peak master of the Divinity Transformation Realm, as long as they left a mark somewhere, within a thousand-mile radius in a straight line, they could instantaneously teleport using divine power.

Yinzhou City is an important force under Shang Qing Sect, and all its Divinity Transformation Realm masters leave marks in such key places, able to arrive instantly if an attack occurs.

Of course, using such a divine power consumes much mental energy, so normally, Divinity Transformation masters don’t use it lightly while traveling.

But concerned with Yang Fei’s safety, Wan Daorong chose not to care as much.

Using such instantaneous divine skills, he frantically searched the surrounding void, eventually detecting anomalies 1,200 miles away from Yinzhou City.

"It seems to be Brother Canglan."

During Wan Daorong’s divine sense search, a master of the same realm appeared, making him internally vigilant, but unexpectedly, the person showed up nearby — a familiar face from Shifang City’s Shen Family.

"What? You, as a master, don’t feel at ease, specially seeking out your disciple?" Shen Canglan asked Wan Daorong.

Wan Daorong completely relaxed and smiled: "Knowing Master Shen arranged his protection job well, had I known Brother Canglan was following all along, why would’ve I personally come?"

Shen Canglan snorted, seeing his hurry, asked: "Did you hear some news and rushed here?"

Wan Daorong shook his head.

Family shame must not be spread, and Bai Xumi secretly attempting to kill his disciple would only make Shang Qing Sect appear disunited if known by outsiders.

"Nothing happened along the way?" Wan Daorong asked back.

Shen Canglan chuckled and said: "Indeed, nothing major happened. Your disciple possesses numerous top-tier magic treasures, even having me around is redundant."

Wan Daorong smiled upon hearing, proudly: "Haha, that’s true. Not to boast about my disciple, but unless he meets a Nascent Soul Stage cultivator, he won’t be in much danger."

Shen Canglan witnessed Yang Fei’s combat power and trump cards multiple times, genuinely envying Wan Daorong for having such a prodigious disciple.

But Wan Daorong’s proud expression annoyed him slightly, and he said: "Seems someone knew his combat prowess was strong, so they hired a Nascent Soul Stage powerhouse against him."

Wan Daorong’s expression changed slightly, worriedly looking towards Yang Fei.

Suddenly, his pupils contracted when he saw Qin Yanyang beside Yang Fei, feeling quite familiar.

Wait, is it her?

How is she here?

Wan Daorong even rubbed his eyes, thinking he’d seen wrongly or was hallucinating.
