Collecting the Silver, Ascending Wudang Mountain

After successfully inviting Jade Rakshasa and the Western Demonic Cult to join the alliance, Su Chen wasted no time. He converted all two million taels of silver into Martial Arts Points, gaining two hundred thousand Martial Arts Points before setting off once more.

"Ren Yingying still owes me five million taels of silver from back then. I never collected it. It's time to get it back," Su Chen muttered to himself, then headed toward the central region of Great Ming.

In the Central Plains, in a certain small town, within an unremarkable farmhouse courtyard.

A one-armed man was facing the sunlight as he circulated his true qi.

This one-armed man was none other than Ren Woxing, whom Su Chen had previously rescued from West Lake Plum Manor.

Xiang Wentian and Ren Yingying stood by his side.

"Congratulations, Cult Master. Your injuries have not only healed, but your strength has risen to another level as well," Xiang Wentian said with a smile, offering Ren Woxing his congratulations.

"With the Cult Master here, one day we will surely reclaim the Holy Cult from Dongfang Bubai."

Back at West Lake Plum Manor, Ren Woxing had fallen into a frenzy due to the clash of incompatible true qi and fought Su Chen, who had come to rescue him.

In the end, he was no match for Su Chen. Su Chen severed half his arm with a single slash, leaving him severely injured.

Yet this misfortune had turned into a blessing. He had broken through and rebuilt himself.

During his recovery, his state of mind had suddenly become much more peaceful, and his martial cultivation had continued rising.

He had now reached the Peak Great Grandmaster level. Given the right opportunity, it was not impossible for him to step directly into the Half-step Land
