Inside a secret room in Guangyuan Sect.
Wang Mengshan sat cross-legged on a yellow prayer mat, his eyes slightly closed. A shimmering yellow long saber phantom hovered in the air before him.
A sound transmission talisman flew in. The long saber phantom in front of Wang Mengshan slowly dissipated. He opened his eyes, and a yellow light shot from his mouth, striking the talisman. A respectful male voice then sounded: "Master, Fellow Daoist Deng is here."
Wang Mengshan had previously instructed that he be notified immediately if Deng Tianqi arrived.
A hint of murderous intent flashed in his eyes. He took out a yellow communication disk and instructed: "Please escort Fellow Daoist Deng to the reception hall at once. I will be there shortly."
"Yes, Master."
Putting away the communication disk, Wang Mengshan walked out.
He was currently at the mid-stage of the Void Refinement realm. He had a close relationship with Su Qingheng of the Cold Flame Sect, assisting Su Qingheng in gathering cultivation resources, and had earned Su Qingheng's deep trust.
Ever since the end of the racial war, Wang Mengshan had been unable to locate Deng Tianqi. He had always wanted to eliminate this person.
Deng Tianqi had expressed his hatred for the Wang family more than once. If this person remained alive, he would sooner or later inflict significant damage on the Wang family.
Wang Mengshan arrived at the main hall, and soon after, Deng Tianqi walked in.
"Fellow Daoist Deng, long time no see."
Wang Mengshan greeted him with a warm smile and cordial tone.
"Indeed, long time no see, Fellow Daoist Wang. Your Guangyuan Sect is truly formidable now, with as many as four Void Refinement cultivators!" Deng Tianqi complimented.
"It's all thanks to Fellow Daoist Su's help. Without him, our Guangyuan Sect wouldn't have acquired so much territory and resources." Wang Mengshan replied modestly.
Guangyuan Sect currently had four Void Refinement cultivators. Two of them were very close to Su Qingheng, serving as a check on Wang Mengshan. If Wang Mengshan were to disobey Su Qingheng's orders, they would replace him.
"Fellow Daoist Wang, I'd like to ask for your help in apprehending a Void Refinement cultivator." Deng Tianqi stated straightforwardly.
"Who is it?" Wang Mengshan asked curiously.
"Long Qingfeng! This person possesses the flood dragon bloodline, capable of transforming into a flood dragon to attack enemies. His strength is formidable. I would like your help to capture him. Upon success, I will offer a generous reward." Deng Tianqi's tone was sincere.
He had killed Li Yihong, True Monarch Blood Saber's disciple, and obtained a Dragon-Binding Plate. Whether it was good fortune or not, when he passed by a large market, the Dragon-Binding Plate reacted, indicating that Long Qingfeng was within the market.
He alone was clearly no match for Long Qingfeng, which was why he sought Wang Mengshan's assistance.
Deng Tianqi had initially intended to ask Su Qingheng and Liu Chuanting for help, but it happened that Su Qingheng and Liu Chuanting were in seclusion cultivating. His relationship with other Void Refinement cultivators of the Cold Flame Sect was not deep.
After much consideration, Deng Tianqi decided to seek help from Wang Mengshan.
"You know this person's whereabouts? The two of us alone might not be his match!" Wang Mengshan said with a frown.
"I have confirmed his whereabouts. He is in a large market. Besides me, there are two other Void Refinement cultivators, one at the mid-stage and one at the late-stage. If Fellow Daoist Wang brings two more Void Refinement fellow disciples, apprehending him shouldn't be an issue. I tried to find Fellow Daoist Su and his wife, but they are in seclusion cultivating." Deng Tianqi explained slowly.
Wang Mengshan frowned, a thoughtful expression on his face.
"Fellow Daoist Deng, give me some assurance. Long Qingfeng isn't from the Long family or some major power, is he? I can't afford to provoke such entities." Wang Mengshan asked with some concern.
"I swear on my inner demon that this person originates from the Azure Glass Sea Domain and has no connection whatsoever with any major power in the Profound Spirit Continent. This person participated in the destruction of my Deng family; this time, I seek revenge for my annihilated clan. Upon success, there will certainly be a generous reward." Deng Tianqi stated solemnly. Naturally, he wouldn't reveal Long Qingfeng's true identity and could only come up with a plausible reason.
"If Fellow Daoist Wang has any reservations, then never mind. Consider that I never came." Deng Tianqi rose, preparing to leave.
"Fellow Daoist Deng, wait. I can help, but after the matter is concluded, I will require two low-grade Heaven-Reaching Spirit Treasures of the defensive type." Wang Mengshan stopped Deng Tianqi and stated his condition.
He wasn't coveting treasures, but rather intended to stabilize Deng Tianqi, send a messenger to inform the family, and ensure this person was eliminated.
"No problem. There's no time to lose. Gather two Void Refinement cultivators immediately, and let's set off!" Deng Tianqi readily agreed, urging him on.
Wang Mengshan nodded: "Alright, I'll send someone to notify them immediately. Fellow Daoist Deng, please stay at Guangyuan Sect for now."
Deng Tianqi agreed without much thought.
After a brief chat, Wang Mengshan arranged accommodation for Deng Tianqi, who then settled in.
Wang Mengshan returned to his dwelling, took out a cyan communication disk, and cast a spell into it. He instructed: "Return to the family immediately and inform the family head that Deng Tianqi has appeared. He wants to capture a Void Refinement cultivator who possesses a flood dragon bloodline and comes from the Azure Glass Sea Domain. His intentions are unknown."
He was giving orders to his clone, which was currently at the Soul Transformation stage.
"Understood. I will return to report immediately." A male voice came from the communication disk.
Wang Mengshan put away the communication disk and let out a cold snort: "Since you're seeking your own death, I shall see you off."
Qinglian Island, Qinglian Peak.
Wang Changsheng sat in a stone pavilion, speaking with Wang Yihong.
After leaving the Blood Saber Sect, they returned to Qinglian Island at top speed. To their relief, no high-level cultivators had attacked the territories controlled by the Wang family.
Perhaps Wang Changsheng's judgment was mistaken, and True Monarch Blood Saber was merely evading other powerful enemies.
"Starting today, strengthen our vigilance. Any clansmen entering Qinglian Island must undergo strict scrutiny. At the same time, conduct internal checks to see if any other forces have infiltrated us. Any clansmen betraying us will be severely punished." Wang Changsheng instructed.
"Yes, Old Ancestor." Wang Yihong agreed. He seemed to sense something, took out a cyan communication disk from his robes, cast a spell into it, and his expression became excited.
"Old Ancestor, good news! A spiritual physique individual has appeared in the Thousand Gourd Realm, and they are from our Wang family!" Wang Yihong said excitedly.
He had previously lamented the premature deaths of two spiritual physique individuals. He hadn't expected such joyful news to arrive so soon—another spiritual physique individual had appeared in the lower realm, and within the Wang family at that.
"What kind of spiritual physique?" Wang Changsheng pressed, a hint of expectation in his heart.
He hoped it wasn't a mediocre spiritual physique that was only advantageous for its fast cultivation speed. He had just witnessed Gongsun Yang's Hundred Beasts Physique's innate divine ability and hoped this new spiritual physique individual would be stronger.
"After repeated tests by our clansmen in the lower realm, it has been confirmed to be the Nirvana Physique. Tracing her lineage, she is a descendant of Old Ancestor Qingqi and has already been brought to Qinglian Island. Our clansmen in the lower realm used a communication array to contact us and share this good news." Wang Yihong said excitedly.
"The Nirvana Physique!" Wang Changsheng gasped. The Nirvana Physique boasts extremely powerful recovery abilities. It's said that as long as there's a single breath left, and given enough time, a practitioner of the Nirvana Physique can recover completely. It shares similarities with a demon beast's Self-Healing Physique, though the Self-Healing Physique is even more extraordinary.
The Jade Nether Python that inherited the Qilin bloodline possessed the Self-Healing Physique; it could recover even after being smashed into a pulp.
Of course, both the Nirvana Physique and the Self-Healing Physique can be killed. Their advantage lies in their strong recovery ability, which becomes even stronger with higher cultivation realms.
"Issue orders to assign fifteen Soul Transformation cultivators for her close protection. If she successfully ascends to the Xuanyang Realm, those fifteen Soul Transformation cultivators will be handsomely rewarded. This matter is a top family secret; the fewer people who know, the better." Wang Changsheng instructed.
"Yes, Old Ancestor." Wang Yihong agreed and departed to carry out the order.
