Chapter 44: Good, the name Wang Yulou is truly excellent!

At midnight, the Hour of the Rat, after the group stopped to rest for the fifth time, Master Master Hongmei finally found his chance.

They found lodging in a mortal town, and Master Master Hongmei and Wang Yulou slept in the same room.

Meanwhile, Wang Yuan was kept by Wang Rongsheng's side.

Wang Yulou slept very deeply; after running around these past few days, he was exhausted.

Watching the sleeping Wang Yulou, Master Master Hongmei calculated in his heart.

First kill Wang Yulou, then use the Secret Technique to conceal one's form, launch a full-strength attack to kill Wang Rongsheng, and afterward, only that fool Wang Yuan would remain.

Wang Yuan possesses the Hundred-Mile Free Escape Talisman, but Master Master Hongmei was confident he could kill him within a short time, preventing his escape.

After killing these three, he would quickly return to Qing Xi Fang and flee far away with Zhong Ningyao.

The Southern Cultivation World is vast; even if the Wang Shi learned what he had done, finding him would be very difficult.

The key point is, as long as he cleans the scene and slaughters everyone in this town, the Wang Shi will have no evidence!

However, after hesitating and calculating for a long time, Master Master Hongmei still dared not act.

The Wang Shizi are all too steady; he was unsure if Wang Rongsheng and Wang Yulou were acting against him.

Wang Yulou is sleeping so soundly; could there be some hidden move on his person?

Actually, he guessed correctly; Wang Yulou has a Medium-Grade Spirit Artifact waistband bestowed by the Clan Head on his person, and the spiritual aura of a defensive artifact will automatically protect its master, so Master Master Hongmei's surprise attack would be useless.

This is the confidence that allows Wang Yulou to sleep so soundly.

Wang Rongsheng is even less afraid of Master Master Hongmei's surprise attack.

There is a vassal clan territory of the Red Lantern nearby; Wang Rongsheng did not go there to lodge but instead chose a mortal town because he had confidence.

The Wang Shi is a hereditary immortal clan; although Wang Rongsheng's cultivation is not high, his strength is not bad.

Usually he pretends to be at the early stage of Qi Refining, appearing weak, yet he dares to go directly to Gu Shen Zong to sell goods—not because he is bold, but because he is strong enough.

After thinking it over, under immense pressure, Master Master Hongmei ultimately did not dare to act.

In extreme inner turmoil, Master Master Hongmei simply stared straight at Wang Yulou, sitting motionless and withering away for the entire night.

Foundation Establishment is imminent; after Foundation Establishment, everything will be different.

Endure a bit more, endure a bit more!

During the day, the three continued to "escort" Master Master Hongmei on the road.

Along the way, Master Master Hongmei brought up numerous exchange conditions again, trying to persuade Wang Yulou or Wang Rongsheng, but still failed.

The reason is actually very simple: no matter how well Master Master Hongmei promises, he is still an outsider.

Wang Yulou and Wang Yuan were raised with family education since childhood and will not easily trust outsiders.

Wang Rongsheng is an experienced Qi Refiner capable of standing alone, and he certainly will not believe Master Master Hongmei's nonsense.

When the group reached three hundred li from Wo Long Fang, Wang Rongsheng stopped his artifact and said.

"Daoist Master Master Hongmei, ahead is Xiang Shui Tan; we should take a detour."

Xiang Shui Tan is a vast marsh spanning a hundred li in all directions, surrounded by mountains; once, there was a Sixth-Grade Spirit Object here.

After the Sixth-Grade Spirit Object was removed, the spiritual energy and spiritual veins of Xiang Shui Tan were damaged but still barely remained.

Under the influence of the spiritual energy and spiritual veins, Xiang Shui Tan would occasionally produce spirit materials and spirit objects.

Therefore, many lone cultivators and bandit cultivators gathered here seeking opportunities.

"Hahaha, good, we will go around to the south."

Master Master Hongmei had a good attitude and answered with a smile.

Wang Rongsheng is a senior Qi Refiner and naturally understood Master Master Hongmei's intentions; he spoke with implied meaning.

"The south is Wu Meng Mountain; Daoist Master Master Hongmei, I am actually familiar with both these areas, I just didn't want to add trouble.

How about this, you choose one; Wu Meng Mountain or Xiang Shui Tan are both fine, I have no objection."

Not wanting to add trouble does not mean Wang Rongsheng fears trouble.

After all, he does business in Wo Long Fang and has dealt with nearby bandit cultivators many times; these people also know he is from the Wang Shi.

Even if Master Master Hongmei knows some bandit cultivators, Wang Rongsheng is not afraid.

Wang Rongsheng is clear: if he lets the bandit cultivators choose between Master Master Hongmei and himself, those bandit cultivators would be more willing to help him.

Within the Red Lantern's territory, the name of the Wang Shi of Anbei Country still works very well!

Inheriting for a thousand years, producing over twenty Foundation Establishment cultivators; do you think this is some kind of cattle-and-horse faction?

No; if the Wang Shi were cattle and horses, then there would be few humans left in the Cultivation World!

The Wang Shi's merchant caravans can ride freely within the Red Lantern's domain under the Wang Shi's name; they can even safely go to places like Double Dragon Mountain.

The Wang Shizi can easily join major Purple Palace sects and can even easily arrange marriages.

The Wang Shi's inheritance is even extraordinary; the family resources tilted toward Wang Yulou and Wang Yuan before Foundation Establishment are comparable to those of Xian Alliance envoys and Xian Alliance family disciples.

More importantly, once Master Dan Zhen Ren's master, the Red Lantern's Master Mangxiang, proves his Jin Dan, the Wang Shi's status will rise directly with the tide!

This is an old Foundation Establishment immortal clan with close ties to the Red Lantern; even the Second Elder of the Gu Shi, a Purple Palace aristocratic family, cannot suppress the prestige of Clan Head Wang Xianmao!

Why is Master Master Hongmei afraid?

Because the Wang Shi can truly destroy him completely!

Because the Wang Shi is so arrogant that they equip every Qi Refining clan member with a Hundred-Mile Free Escape Talisman!

"Forget it, we will go from the north, from the north."

Master Master Hongmei answered with a dry laugh.

He seemed to have a sense of resignation.

He didn't dare act all night last night; just now hoping the bandit cultivators at Xiang Shui Tan would help him was purely the final delusion before failure.

Master Master Hongmei does not know the bandit cultivators; he purely just wanted to try his luck.

Placing hope on luck, does this not precisely demonstrate his despair?

"Leave? No need to leave!"

A voice of immense majesty, echoing through the clouds, came.

This voice was so loud, resonating between heaven and earth.

This voice was also so distant that Yulou looked toward the distant horizon but saw nothing.

Master Master Hongmei immediately realized who had arrived; his face turned deathly pale.

At this moment, he finally confirmed that he was finished.

A few breaths later, Yulou finally saw the newcomer.

It was a pale green escape light; from afar, it looked like a green meteor.

Riding a vibrant fruit pit covered in leaves, in the blink of an eye, Wang Xianmao flew to the front of the group.

Standing in mid-air, he immediately drew Yulou and Yuan to him.

The fruit pit beneath his feet grew rapidly; under the stimulation of spiritual power, more than a dozen chains locked Master Master Hongmei's escape routes from various angles.

"Rongsheng, well done. I said we couldn't do without the carrier pigeon!"

Master Master Hongmei smiled in resignation.

Is this the Wang Shi of the Anbei Kingdom?

Too steady!

That mortal town was a bit over a hundred li from Wolong Market, exactly the range of a Hundred Li Carefree Escape Talisman.

Wang Rongsheng chose to take people there to rest; it turned out he was sending a carrier pigeon.

The range of a transmission talisman is too short, but a carrier pigeon can easily fly a thousand li!

He was still foolishly waiting for an opportunity, but he had long since lost any chance.

"Senior Xianmao, let me explain," Master Master Hongmei said with difficulty.

Wang Xianmao waved his hand and said calmly.

"Master Master Hongmei, you should not have burned the Jin Guang Pavilion. Daoist Mengbai and I also have some connection.

Join the Wang Shi, otherwise if Daoist Mengbai investigates, you will not escape death."

Yulou guessed that the Daoist Mengbai the clan leader mentioned was someone from the Xian Alliance behind the Jin Guang Pavilion.

Master Master Hongmei gritted his teeth and said.

"Fine, I will join the Wang Shi as a guest elder."

He still wanted to keep some dignity, but Wang Xianmao did not intend to give him any.

"Change your name; from now on, you will be called Wang Yueshuo."

However, you must not be naughty in the future, do you understand?"

Now that he had the leverage of Master Master Hongmei plundering the Jin Guang Pavilion, Wang Xianmao intended to use it to the fullest.

This dog-hearted thing had the audacity to try to kill Yulou and Yuan.

You are their master; what were you thinking?

"Fine, the name Wang Yueshuo is very good, very good, thank you, Senior Xianmao!"

Master Master Hongmei thanked Wang Xianmao excitedly.

Endure! A great man endures what ordinary people cannot endure to achieve extraordinary feats!

I will endure!

"Hey, still calling me 'Senior'? That's distant, isn't it?"

Seeing his shamelessness, Wang Xianmao continued to apply pressure with a blank expression.

Master Master Hongmei, how long can you endure?

"......."

Master Master Hongmei stopped speaking; at this moment, his dignity was insulted to the extreme.

His age was at least that of the generation of Wang Rongyuan and Wang Rongwen; now being humiliated by Wang Xianmao like this, and being made to call him...

Too insulting!

"Yulou, what should he call me?" Wang Xianmao looked at Yulou.

Master has already agreed to change his name; now he has truly become one of the family.

Although Yulou was not very happy, he still respected the clan leader.

"Master, from now on, when you see the clan leader, call him Clan Uncle.

Yuan and I will continue to call you Master.

We will each address each other according to our own relations; that's not troublesome, is it?"
