Shocked Elder Wu, and Yang Wu Mistaken for a Void Realm Great Perfection

After briefly inquiring about the route to Jiangning Commandery, Yang Wu left Da Yan Mountain.

"Is this what a true expert is like?" Teng Qingshan watched as Yang Wu flew further and further away, his yearning for such power growing deeper in his heart.

At the same time, his inner spirit surged; he was in a state of extreme excitement.

In this moment, Teng Qingshan knew the path he would take in the future: to pursue the pinnacle, the pinnacle of the strong.

Yicheng, where Da Yan Mountain was located, was not far from Jiangning Commandery.

Since Yang Wu could fly, he naturally did not need to go around the mountain; he could simply head straight there, a distance of only a little over a hundred kilometers.

This distance was, in truth, only a matter of minutes.

Three miles outside the east gate of Jiangning Commandery City, a figure materialized from thin air above the main road. It was Yang Wu, arriving from Da Yan Mountain.

As a city capable of housing a million people, Jiangning Commandery naturally had many pedestrians passing through the gates, as well as the City Guard Army.

"Whoosh!" Yang Wu looked down at the panicked pedestrians and the City Guard Army with indifference before flying directly into Jiangning Commandery.

The pedestrians and soldiers, upon seeing this, could not help but begin to discuss it.

"Who is that?"

"That man can actually fly?"

"What is he doing in Jiangning Commandery?"

"He isn't coming to cause trouble for the Guiyuan Sect, is he?"

Flying above Jiangning Commandery, Yang Wu found the city to be truly bustling.

"Drink!"

"Ha!"

Sounds like rolling thunder echoed from the barracks of the Guiyuan Sect's Black Armor Army; in fact, the Black Armor Army trained for a long time every single day.

"The barracks!" Yang Wu looked to his left. "It seems the Guiyuan Sect must be over there."

Guiyuan Sect, Martial Pavilion.

Elder Wu, with his head full of silver hair, usually spent his time happily reading wild historical novels, but at this moment, his expression was grave as he stood at the entrance of the Martial Pavilion, gazing toward the north.

His mind was no longer on his book, but on the mysterious Yang Wu who had arrived from afar.

In fact, as a Void Realm expert, one could clearly sense everything within a range of thirty-four li.

The millions of auras within Jiangning Commandery were like stars in the galaxy or drops of water in the ocean, entirely unremarkable.

However, Yang Wu's aura and speed were exaggerated, drawing Elder Wu's full attention.

"Such a powerful aura, and such an exaggerated speed..." Elder Wu raised an eyebrow.

"Although I cannot sense the aura of the Void Realm from him, this aura and speed are definitely far beyond what an Innate Expert could compare to."

"If he is a Void Realm expert... then I must have never seen him before."

In the Nine Cauldrons World, a person's aura was related to the strength of their "spirit."

For instance, when a person reached the Void Realm, especially after their "spirit" merged with the heavens and earth, their spirit would take on the characteristics of the power of the heavens and earth, causing their aura to naturally change.

Although Yang Wu lacked the unique aura of the Void Realm's power of the heavens and earth, he was, after all, a Planet-level Spiritual Master.

His "spirit" was incomparably powerful, by no means inferior to an ordinary Void Realm expert.

Coupled with Yang Wu's exaggerated speed, Elder Wu judged him to be a Void Realm expert.

Every Void Realm expert was terrifying; if one were to charge directly into a sect and kill its sect leader, they could easily escape!

Even a Void Realm Great Perfection expert would likely find it difficult to stop an ordinary Void Realm expert, let alone someone like Yang Wu, whose speed and aura surpassed Elder Wu's own.

Therefore, upon discovering the suspected Void Realm expert entering the city, Elder Wu did not dare to be careless in the slightest.

"Hm?" Elder Wu's expression shifted slightly. "I thought he was just passing through, but it seems that is not the case."

"This is bad!"

Elder Wu, who had never dared to relax, saw his expression change drastically. His figure blurred, and he vanished from the Martial Pavilion, moving at an astonishing speed toward the location of Sect Leader Zhuge Yuanhong.

"This Void Realm expert, after finding the Guiyuan Sect base, is heading straight for where Yuanhong is cultivating."

"Yuanhong is only one step away from the Void Realm; he could break through at any moment, and he will definitely be targeted."

"Perhaps the Blind Sword Saint of Qinghu Island hired this Void Realm expert to come and kill Yuanhong."

In the history of the Nine Provinces, it happened from time to time that a Void Realm expert would suddenly charge into a sect, kill several elites, and then flee at high speed!

Ever since the Guiyuan Sect fell out with Qinghu Island, they had been cautious and vigilant, but today... it seemed a Void Realm expert was truly coming for them!

"That blind old man is truly sinister!" Elder Wu cursed the Blind Sword Saint in his heart.

Inside Zhuge Yuanhong's study, the door had been tightly shut.

Whoosh!

Like a gust of wind sweeping through the study, the windows were instantly blown open, and a figure materialized. It was Elder Wu!

Zhuge Yuanhong, dressed in loose white robes with his long hair draped over his shoulders, had been sitting cross-legged in meditation, but he woke up instantly upon sensing the situation.

"Grandmaster?" Zhuge Yuanhong's expression shifted, especially when he saw Elder Wu holding a deep green divine sword; he was shocked.

Elder Wu was a Void Realm expert. What could possibly frighten the Guiyuan Sect's number-one expert into meeting someone with a weapon drawn?

"Yuanhong, it is a disaster. A Void Realm expert is coming to kill you." Elder Wu's expression was incredibly urgent.

"Void Realm?" No matter how composed Zhuge Yuanhong was, his face changed color. Qinghu Island was being blamed again. "Could it be Qinghu Island?"

Zhuge Yuanhong knew the reputation of the Blind Sword Saint; he was a Void Realm Great Perfection expert.

If the Blind Sword Saint had truly come to kill him... Elder Wu could at most protect himself; it was nearly impossible to keep him safe!

However, based on what they knew, the Blind Sword Saint shouldn't be so unwise.

Zhuge Yuanhong and Elder Wu felt their hearts tighten, waiting cautiously for Yang Wu's arrival.

Whoosh!

A rainbow light streaked through the window and landed instantly in the study.

The figure solidified; it was the youth with a scar on his face, Yang Wu!

"Friend, I do not know why you have come to my Guiyuan Sect?" Elder Wu's presence was like a mountain, staring coldly at Yang Wu.

They had seen clearly that Yang Wu had arrived by flying.

To fly, one had to at least reach the Void Realm Great Perfection, and Elder Wu was clearly no match for such an opponent!

"I heard the Guiyuan Sect possesses a Heavenly Grade Secret Manual, and I wish to borrow it to read," Yang Wu said directly. "In return, I will give you a treasure."

"A Heavenly Grade Secret Manual... this is a matter of great importance. Even the core members of the Guiyuan Sect have difficulty accessing it," Elder Wu frowned.

He was not wrong; even someone with talent as exaggerated as Teng Qingshan's had to be accepted as a disciple by the Guiyuan Sect leader before he could even obtain an Earth Grade Secret Manual.

"Very well!" Zhuge Yuanhong, however, nodded.

Yang Wu's request did not seem excessive to Zhuge Yuanhong; after all, it was just to take a look, and he would even provide a treasure in return.

In fact, even without a treasure, Zhuge Yuanhong would not dare to refuse easily.

Because Yang Wu's strength was immense; if he were refused, it might lead to dire consequences that the Guiyuan Sect might not be able to withstand!

It would be unwise to provoke a "Void Realm Great Perfection" expert over the mere borrowing of a Heavenly Grade Secret Manual.

And if he agreed, he might even end up with a treasure.
