Jiulong Wu, is a wetland on the banks of the Sunset River. The concentration of spiritual energy here surpasses the entire cultivation world, so many sturdy ancient trees grow in this wetland. Some of these ancient trees have grown for tens of thousands of years, with diameters exceeding ten meters, resembling small mountain peaks that pierce through the high sky several thousand meters above.
Some people reasonably utilize these giant ancient trees and build a hundred-meter-high ancient tree castle on the ancient trees. These castles are detached from the water and suspended in the air, looking quite natural and elegant.
Because it is in Jiulong Wu, a place where the world's spiritual energy is extremely concentrated, the prices of these ancient wooden castles are frighteningly expensive, with each one exceeding 10 million Lingguo coins. Even someone as wealthy as Hua Erlou wouldn't dare spend such a large sum to buy an ancient wooden castle, but Xiao Changsheng actually bought one, which is why Hua Erlou scolded him as a prodigal son.
At this time, a woman's voice suddenly came from the ancient wooden castle, which immediately piqued Guo Yi's interest. He wondered which family's daughter had found her way to Xiao Changsheng?
Guo Yi and Hua Er Lou both pricked up their ears, wanting to listen carefully to which chapter was being sung in the ancient wooden castle. Only Bai Xie'er showed no interest, but instead gave Guo Yi and Hua Er Lou a disdainful glance.
"Boom!"
A loud crash echoed through the ancient castle, followed by the sound of heavy objects crashing to the ground. Xiao Changsheng wailed: "I really don't know where Master has gone, Holy Maiden... Young Mistress, spare my life!"
"Boom!"
Then there was another loud noise, which suddenly interrupted what Xiao Changsheng was about to say, and it was unknown what kind of inhuman torture he had suffered just now.
"Hum, you dare to deceive me? You're his apprentice, don't think I don't know where he went. Don't assume I'm unaware, yesterday I received news that you and him were under the Tianqiao Bridge listening to storytelling."
The cold and piercing voice of the Holy Maiden came from within the castle, instantly causing Guo Yi and Hua Er Lou to shudder in unison as they eavesdropped outside. As they silently mourned for Xiao Chang Sheng, Guo Yi could only hope that Xiao Chang Sheng would not be betrayed by him under the Holy Maiden's torture.
If Saintess were to find out about what happened between him and Evil Goddess, it's likely that he would be the one getting bullied instead.
Xiao Changsheng vowed to become a great hero, so he naturally wouldn't tell a lie. But what Guo Yi was worried about still happened after all. He said, "Master has been taken away by the evil woman of Tianxie Peak."
"Slut! Hmph, I knew this dog of a man couldn't forget his fiancée." The holy maiden snorted, her tone inexplicably vicious.
"It's not like that, Master has no affection for the evil woman at all. The two of them are going to engage in a fierce battle that was agreed upon long ago." said Xiao Changsheng.
Hua's face was filled with a continuous smile as he glanced at Guo Yao and muttered to himself, "It really is an intense battle."
"Hmph, I don't care if they're making a move or what, you tell your master something for me. The women around him, I'll kill one whenever I see one, even if it's an evil woman, I won't miss."
"Boom!"
Another loud noise came from within the ancient castle, followed by a mournful howl.
Guo Ye knew that the Holy Maiden was about to come out, and if she saw him here, he would be in trouble. So he hastily flew up and jumped onto a hundred-meter-tall ancient tree.
Hua Er Lou was also extremely anxious, he had pursued and killed the Holy Maiden in You Yin City, and at Nan Ling he had deceived her into thinking that Guo Yi was already dead. The two of them had a deep-seated grudge, and the Holy Maiden had long since vowed to take care of this untrustworthy fatty. At this moment, he was even more afraid than Guo Yi to see the Holy Maiden.
Hua Er Lou's body rolled like a fat ball, and with a few quick movements, he jumped directly from head to toe into the water beside the ancient road.
Bai Xue'er silently watched all of this, she was quite curious why Guo Yi and Hua Er Lou were so afraid, and didn't know what they were afraid of.
"Bang!"
Just then, the gates of Gu Mu Castle slammed shut. A breathtakingly beautiful girl shrouded in a ghostly mist descended from above, as if she was dancing on clouds, her beauty was indescribable. The Holy Maiden looked at the woman in white standing on the ancient path with a veil covering her face, only to find that the other woman was also staring back at her.
"Are you the Holy Maiden of White Bone Mountain?" Bai Xue'er had judged her identity through Xiao Changsheng's previous words and the aura of a ghost path cultivator on Li Xiaoyan.
"How did you know my identity?" The Holy Maiden was hot-tempered, but not stupid. She could naturally see that the woman standing in front of her was extraordinary. With a refined body and a strong foundation, the light of the sacred spirit flowed endlessly, this was not something an ordinary woman could possess.
The seven evil lands are about to attack the White family, and Bai Xue'er naturally bears a grudge against the seven princes of the evil lands. At this time, seeing the Holy Maiden alone, a hint of murderous intent has already appeared in her heart. However, as soon as this murderous intent arose, she wiped it away, because she remembered what Guo Yao had said: that in the near future, they might still need to win over this Holy Maiden to jointly deal with the Longyuan Imperial Sword Garden and the Zhongzhou Imperial Family.
"Hehe, I've only heard of you from an old acquaintance." Bai Xue'er intentionally wanted to probe the Holy Maiden, so she said this.
Guo Yao's heart skipped a beat as he guessed what Bai Xue'er was going to say next.
"As expected, the saint asked: 'Which old friend?'"
"Guo Ye." Bai Xier's face was filled with a smile as she tried to probe into the relationship between the Holy Maiden and Guo Ye.
"What's your relationship with him?"
"Red makeup knows!" Bai Xue'er deliberately provoked Sheng Nü Dao.
Her Ladyship heard this and suddenly snorted: "He is indeed a sentimental person, what a romantic! One evil woman as an unmarried wife, one night woman as a fake old lady, another demon woman as a lover, and now he has run out with a red-faced confidante. Sooner or later I will have to behead all of you with my sword."
Bai Xue'er listened to the words of the Holy Girl and instead of getting angry, she smiled and said: "I'm waiting for that day to come."
"Hmph!" The holy maiden let out a cold snort and turned away, her figure like a ghostly apparition, before merging into the darkness of night.
"Whoosh!"
It wasn't until half a day had passed that Guo Yi jumped down from the hundred-meter-tall ancient tree, gazing in the direction where the Holy Maiden had disappeared. He said discontentedly, "You're causing trouble for me! I don't have any relation to you at all."
Bai Xue'er's eyes sparkled with amusement as she gazed in the same direction as Guo Yao, and said with a smile: "If I didn't do this, how would I have known that my personal bodyguard has such extensive connections?"
"What do you mean?" Guo Yi asked cautiously.
Bai Xue'er's eyes sparkled with spirit, and she turned her head to stare intently at Guo Yi, saying: "I'm currently looking for someone to communicate with the higher-ups of the Seven Great Evil Lands. I think you're the best person for this task."
"What a joke, things aren't as she said. You want me to go and win over the seven lords of the Seven Evil Lands? That would absolutely ruin everything. Let me tell you honestly, just taking the three evil women, Phantom, Magic, and Evil, for example, if they saw me, the first thing they'd do is chop me down with their swords. How can we even talk about it?" Gu Yan sighed bitterly.
Bai Xue'er smiled and said: "I believe in Guo Ershao's ability to deceive people, and I also believe in that mouth of yours which can make even the dead sound alive."
"Unexpectedly, I still have such a great advantage in Xianzi's eyes." Guo Yi said with a bitter smile.
"Hehe, it's settled then. I think tomorrow is a good opportunity for the seven evil lands' princes to gather together, and we won't have to run around." Bai Xier proposed.
"Us?" Guo Yi's brow furrowed.
"This is such an important matter, I will naturally accompany you there."
"Aren't you deliberately trying to get me killed by the Nine Dragons?" Guo Yao could imagine how it felt to stand in front of the eight most powerful women in the cultivation world. Even if he had a million mouths, there would be no use for them at that time.
"This has nothing to do with me, you think of a way yourself." Bai Xue'er looked at the ripples in the water and said: "If you don't pull your brother out soon, I'm afraid he'll float up by himself later."
Kuo Yeh's face twisted in a scowl, he shook his head, then with great difficulty, he pulled Hua Er Lou out of the water and said: "Let's go! Let's take a look at what that elegant and refined Xiao Da Gongzi has become."
Xiao Changsheng has been very unlucky lately, ever since he moved into this ancient wooden castle, the Holy Maiden would come to beat him up every now and then. As a top-notch master ranked 14th on the Spirit List, he never thought that one day he would live such a miserable life, and couldn't even escape.
"Bang! Bang!"
The familiar knock at the door outside startled Xiao Changsheng, who was applying the spiritual medicine, and he shouted: "There's no one in the house, thank you for not welcoming guests."
"Is anyone else as arrogant as this?" Hua Er Lou kicked open the castle's large door with one foot.
"It's not like I said no one... Master, you've finally arrived. If you were two days late, I'm afraid we would have parted ways forever." Xiaolong thought of scolding him, but when he saw Guo Yao, he immediately rushed over to him, just like a drowning person grabbing onto a life-saving straw.
"Who are you?" Guo Yi was startled, and saw a pig-headed man rushing towards him, calling him "Master". This made it impossible for Guo Yi to associate him with the elegant and handsome Xiao Changsheng.
"Xiao Changsheng!" Xiao Changsheng's face was swollen bigger than a watermelon, looking even more bloated than Hua Er Lou.
Guo Yi looked at Xiao Changsheng, who was in a pitiful state, and sighed, "She's gone too far this time. This...this isn't even human-like anymore. Next time, I'll definitely have a good talk with her."
"This must be said." Xiao Changsheng muttered somewhat incoherently: "Master, if you had come a step earlier, it would have been better. I wouldn't have been beaten up like this either."
"You think I'm stupid! If I had come a step earlier, it would be me who's swollen like a pig's head now." Guo Yi sighed to himself, but comforted himself by saying: "This woman is too violent, I must find a chance to teach her a lesson."
The ancient wooden castle is not large, but it is divided into nine layers along the trunk, like a giant tower built on an ancient tree.
Xiao Changsheng led Guo Ye and the others to the top of the ninth floor of the ancient castle, where they could see the entire Jiulong Wuyu at a glance. The ground was filled with the lights of ten thousand families, and the air was filled with flying spirit beasts. Cultivators were shuttling back and forth on the ancient paths and in the night sky, weaving out the prosperous scene of Jiulong Wuyu.
Guo Yiwang gazed at the magnificent lights stretching towards the horizon and asked, "Hua Er Lou, have you taken care of the matters I entrusted to you?"
"What's wrong?" Hua Erlou didn't know why Guo Yi suddenly asked this question.
Guo Yidao said: "It's a battle of wits between Xie Nu and Mr. Qianye at their peak."
"The news has spread, and with Gu Hua's strength, I'm afraid that by now, everyone in Huadu Holy City knows about it. However, everyone has a question: why hasn't the Heaven Doctor successor with the Wisdom Command appeared yet?" said Hua Er Lou.
Bai Xue'er's expression changed slightly upon hearing the four words "Tian Yi Zhuan Ren".
Guo Yexiao laughed and said, "The successor of the Heavenly Doctor will appear in Jiulongwu tomorrow, and on the day of the Jiulong Festival, he will publicly auction off ten Wisdom Orders. Each Wisdom Order will not be sold for less than 10 million Lingguo, haha."
