Chapter 17 Wanwan Went Down the Mountain, and Shi Feixuan Fed the Demon With Her Body!
Ming Dynasty, Hulong Villa
Zhu Wushi silently pondered over the confidential report in his hand.
Soon, he summoned the four top agents of Hulong Villa: Heaven, Earth, Profound, and Yellow.
Heaven Number One: Duan Tianya
Earth Number One: Guihai Yidao
Profound Number One: Shangguan Haitang
Yellow Number One: Cheng Shifei
“Foster father…”
The four entered the main hall, bowed, and greeted Zhu Wushi with utmost respect.
“Take a look at this report and assess its authenticity.”
Zhu Wushi handed the report to Duan Tianya, instructing them to examine it.
Although Hulong Villa had spies in Snow Moon City, they couldn’t access its core secrets. Most of the intelligence they received was common knowledge within the city.
However, the idea of someone breaking through to the peak of the Grandmaster realm at the age of eighteen, while also curing Ye Ruoyi’s congenital heart defect, made Zhu Wushi feel as though reality was defying him.
Could such a prodigy truly exist in this world?
Judging by his talent, it’s not impossible for him to reach the Heavenly Realm before the age of twenty!
A twenty-year-old master of that realm?
Just imagining it sent shivers down Zhu Wushi’s spine.
He had cultivated for most of his life and, relying on the Art of Energy Dissolution, had only barely reached the half-step Heavenly Realm. He hadn’t yet taken that final step.
“Hiss…”
“Eighteen and already at the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm?”
“That can’t be true!”
Cheng Shifei gasped, stunned.
As one of Hulong Villa’s top agents, their abilities were undoubtedly exceptional.
Yet, even the strongest among them, Duan Tianya, was only at the second level of the Grandmaster realm at the age of twenty-three.
It was hard to imagine how someone like Jiang Che could exist!
“Foster father, I think this information is false.”
“Breaking through to the Grandmaster level at eighteen is already an extraordinary feat. How could anyone reach such an unimaginable level?”
Duan Tianya’s eyes glimmered with doubt as he spoke.
Zhu Wushi remained silent, lost in thought.
“Foster father, I believe this report is true…”
Shangguan Haitang’s pupils contracted slightly, as if she had an inkling about something.
“Oh?”
“Why do you think so, Haitang?” Zhu Wushi asked with interest.
“One month ago, this Jiang Che visited my Tianxia First Manor.”
“At that time, he was already at the fifth level of the Grandmaster realm. But he stayed for just a day before leaving.”
“I tried my best to persuade him to stay, but he refused. I had no idea where he was heading.”
“For someone to leap from the fifth to the ninth level of the Grandmaster realm in just a month, it’s likely he had a recent encounter with some fortuitous event…”
Shangguan Haitang spoke thoughtfully.
She remembered Jiang Che clearly. A young Grandmaster-level expert with a striking appearance—it was hard not to leave an impression.
Back then, she had offered numerous benefits to persuade Jiang Che to serve Zhu Wushi, but he had declined them all.
“In that case, Haitang, go to Snow Moon City to represent Hulong Villa at the upcoming Hundred Flowers Gathering. Investigate whether Jiang Che is as remarkable as this report claims.”
Zhu Wushi deliberated, already believing Haitang’s words to some extent.
Now that such a miraculous doctor had emerged in Snow Moon City, there might be a chance to save Su Xin.
Even if there was only the slimmest hope, Zhu Wushi was unwilling to give up.
“Understood!”
…
Sui Dynasty, Yin Kui Sect
Upon receiving intelligence from Snow Moon City, Zhu Yuyan immediately sought out Wanwan, who was in the midst of training.
“Master?”
Wanwan paused her cultivation as the door opened, a hint of confusion flickering in her eyes.
Her master had never interrupted her training unless it was something important.
“The Hundred Flowers Gathering in Snow Moon City is approaching. Get close to the Fourth City Lord of Snow Moon City and try to win him over.”
“Your Heavenly Demon Art has reached the seventeenth level. It’s time for you to descend the mountain and gain experience.”
Zhu Yuyan handed the report to Wanwan.
Unlike other factions, Zhu Yuyan had discovered that Jiang Che was from the Song Dynasty and had become a City Lord of Snow Moon City after just one day there.
She suspected there were hidden interests at play, and Jiang Che had likely struck a deal with someone in Snow Moon City.
“Understood…”
Wanwan replied and then curiously examined the report handed to her.
As she read, her pupils involuntarily contracted.
…
Ci Hang Jing Zhai, Emperor’s Peak
Fan Qinghui also sought out the current Saintess of Ci Hang Jing Zhai, Shi Feixuan.
“Master?”
Shi Feixuan was surprised by her master’s sudden visit.
“The world is on the brink of chaos, and the Demon Sect is stirring.”
“A peerless genius has appeared in Snow Moon City, and the Yin Kui Sect has already made a move.”
“Now that your Ci Hang Sword Canon is complete, it’s time for you to descend the mountain and gain experience.”
“Represent Ci Hang Jing Zhai at the Hundred Flowers Gathering in Snow Moon City and attempt to win over Jiang Che.”
“If you can’t recruit him, make sure he doesn’t fall under the Demon Sect’s influence.”
“If necessary, you must sacrifice yourself to save him…”
“Understood…”
Shi Feixuan stared at the report in silence for a long time before finally nodding gently.
