Chapter 4194: Taibai Sword Sect (Gone Today)

As the Wang family grew and their subordinates increased, Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan were well aware that there would inevitably be weak-willed individuals among them.

"Senior Wang, Senior Wang, please spare my life! I was forced into this; they would have killed me if I hadn't agreed," Du Hai pleaded, snot running down his face.

"Is this your reason for betraying the Wang family? You ungrateful traitor! After Senior Wang and Senior Wang took care of you, you actually betrayed the family. Your conscience must have been eaten by dogs!" Song Junwu cursed, his voice cold. He had performed a meritorious service this time, and the Wang family would surely reward him.

"I was just momentarily confused! Please spare me!" Du Hai kowtowed repeatedly.

"Who is your contact? Who do you communicate with? When did you start transmitting information?" Wang Changsheng asked, his voice cold.

"Senior Wang, spare my life, and I'll confess everything!" Du Hai desperately pleaded.

"Hmph! When you betrayed Old Ancestor Qingcheng and Old Ancestor Yuejiao, why didn't you think of this day? And you still dare to refuse to confess?" Wang Chuanming said, his face filled with killing intent.

"Alright, you two may withdraw! We will interrogate him ourselves. Lavishly reward young friend Song and provide him with the resources to open his fifth aperture," Wang Changsheng instructed. Du Hai's immortal elemental energy was restrained, making it difficult for him even to commit suicide.

"Thank you, Senior Wang," Song Junwu said repeatedly, his expression excited.

Wang Changsheng waved his hand, and Wang Chuanming led Song Junwu away.

Wang Ruyan's figure flickered, appearing before Du Hai. A black halo emerged from her right hand, enveloping Du Hai's body. Du Hai's body trembled, and he fell unconscious.

"He doesn't even know the identity of the other party. He was targeted by a Golden Immortal cultivator while outside, had a restriction planted on him, and was forced to serve them," Wang Ruyan said.

"The Murong family!" Wang Changsheng immediately suspected. He called Wang Chuanming and instructed, "Take him away and make an example of him. He no longer has any use."

"Yes, Old Ancestor," Wang Chuanming replied.

"By the way, how is that matter progressing?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"I have already contacted the people from Yama Palace. Their price is very high, but I didn't haggle. They said they would send someone to act and would contact me once they succeed," Wang Chuanming reported truthfully.

Wang Changsheng nodded, gave a few instructions, and had Wang Chuanming take Du Hai away.

Wang Ruyan took out a blue-glowing Immortal Transmission Mirror, injected a magic incantation into it, and Cao Xingdian's face appeared on the mirror's surface. Cao Xingdian was smiling broadly, as if there was good news.

"Fellow Daoist Cao, long time no see," Wang Ruyan said with a smile.

"Long time no see, Madam Wang! Old Ancestor Yuanxing has advanced to the Grand Unity Golden Immortal stage. A celebration will be held a hundred years from now, and you two must come and have a few drinks," Cao Xingdian said with a proud smile.

"Good, we will definitely go," Wang Ruyan promised. Cao Yuanxing was a clan member specifically nurtured by the Cao family, so his advancement to Grand Unity Golden Immortal was not surprising. Their relationship with Cao Yuanxing was good, so they would naturally go in person to congratulate him.

"By the way," Cao Xingdian remembered something and added, "several Golden Immortal cultivators from the Taibai Sword Sect are currently in Yunlang City. They heard you have cultivated into peak True Spirits and would like to meet you."

"The Taibai Sword Sect!" Wang Ruyan's expression hardened. She had, of course, heard of the Taibai Sword Sect. The Taibai Sword Sect has been passed down for over a hundred million years. It boasts countless experts, including several Grand Zenith Golden Immortals, and controls a Celestial City—Taibai City, which is also teeming with masters. Wang Ruyan looked at Wang Changsheng, who nodded. He also wanted to meet the elites of such a major power.

"Alright, we'll go immediately," Wang Ruyan agreed, then put away the Immortal Transmission Mirror.

"Why are Golden Immortal cultivators from the Taibai Sword Sect in Yunlang City?" Wang Changsheng wondered. Yunlang City is merely an Earth City, so it was indeed a bit strange for Golden Immortal cultivators from the Taibai Sword Sect to be there.

"Who knows?" Wang Ruyan speculated. "Perhaps Senior Cao has a wide network of friends and knows a Grand Unity Golden Immortal from the Taibai Sword Sect who is passing through Yunlang City and stopped by as a guest."

They took a teleportation array to Yunlang City. As soon as they arrived, Cao Yuheng came to greet them and invited them to a manor filled with birdsong and fragrant flowers.

Cao Yufeng, a tall young man in a red shirt, and a beautiful young woman in a yellow dress were seated in a green stone pavilion. The young man in red and the young woman in yellow both had cultivation bases at the Grand Completion Golden Immortal stage, and their faces were filled with arrogance.

"So you are the Azure Lotus Immortal Couple!" the young man in the red shirt said, sizing up Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan with a casual tone. Wang Changsheng felt a slight displeasure, but knowing the disparity in their identities, he politely replied, "That's right."

"Fellow Daoist Wang, let me introduce you," Cao Yufeng said. "These two are Fellow Daoist Xu and Madam Xu. They have also cultivated into peak True Spirits and are disciples of Seven Star Sword Sovereign, who has a high hope of advancing to Grand Zenith Golden Immortal."

"Wasn't there supposed to be another person who cultivated into a peak True Spirit?" the young woman in the yellow dress asked. "Fairy Cao, why isn't he here yet?"

As soon as she finished speaking, a soft sound of footsteps was heard, and Murong Yilong walked in. He was also a bit surprised to see Wang Changsheng and Wang Ruyan.

"I am Murong Yilong. Greetings, fellow Daoists," Murong Yilong said, cupping his fists.

"It's good that everyone is here," the young man in the red shirt said, his face full of arrogance. "I'd like to spar with you. You just need to withstand three of my moves."

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you mean you'll fight all three of them?" Cao Yufeng asked, frowning. From start to finish, the two of them showed no regard for Wang Changsheng and the other two, nor did they pay any attention to Cao Yufeng.

"That's right," the young man in the red shirt replied. "If you can withstand three of my moves, these three seven-colored chaotic beast crystal cores will be yours." He then flipped his right hand and took out three seven-colored crystal cores.

"These are crystal cores from a mutated chaotic beast at the Grand Completion Golden Immortal stage," the young woman in the yellow dress explained, her face full of pride.

Wang Changsheng hadn't expected the disciples of the Taibai Sword Sect to be so arrogant, but he knew they must have the ability to back up their arrogance.

"We just have to withstand three moves from Fellow Daoist Xu? Fellow Daoist Xu, you're not joking, are you?" Murong Yilong asked, frowning.

"Many of our fellow disciples in the Taibai Sword Sect have cultivated into peak True Spirits, and we often spar with them," the young man in the red shirt stated arrogantly. "Of course, you can fight back. If you can injure me, then you'll be worthy of knowing our names." They came from a super sect in a Great Immortal Realm, which boasted several Grand Zenith Golden Immortals.

"If you don't dare, then forget it. We won't force you," the young woman in the yellow dress said with a disdainful smile.

"This old man may not be talented, but I would like to experience Fellow Daoist Xu's divine abilities," Murong Yilong said. He wasn't interested in the mutated crystal cores, but rather wanted to see the opponent's strength.

"Fellow Daoist Xu, you won't be using high-grade immortal artifacts or soul-type immortal artifacts, will you?" Wang Changsheng asked.

"Dealing with you doesn't require high-grade immortal artifacts or soul-type immortal artifacts," the young man in the red shirt explained, his face full of pride. From his words, it was clear he possessed high-grade immortal artifacts but disdained to use them.

"Alright, then let us experience Fellow Daoist Xu's divine abilities," Wang Changsheng agreed.

"I'll be the witness," Cao Yufeng said. "It's agreed, this is just a sparring match, and no killing blows are allowed."

"Fairy Cao, rest assured," the young man in the red shirt promised, patting his chest. "If I said it's a sparring match, then it's a sparring match. I won't use killing blows."
