Kunlun Mountains Bright Peak

How could little Wang Yuyan know about the Church of Truth?

Li Hao was puzzled.

Omniscient Li: "Wang Yuyan once said?"

Little Dragon Maiden: "I remember she once told me that people from the Church of Truth had gone to see Madam Wang. I didn't ask for details, but if the group leader wants to know about the Church of Truth, I can ask them."

Li Hao remained silent, lost in thought.

Wang Yuyan, Madam Wang.

The Omniscient Li: "I will go there myself later."

Little Dragon Maiden: "Okay."

The Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "This is really strange. What exactly does this Church of Truth want? Aren't they afraid that the group leader will come knocking on their door if they find out? Or are they just fearless, or are they so stupid as to think that the group leader has run into trouble in another world?"

Qiao Feng: "Whatever they want to do, the situation in Jiangnan is very wrong, extremely abnormal."

The Nine Heavens Holy Maiden Daji: "Have you ever considered why the imperial court seems oblivious to the extent of Jiangnan's current state?"

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "Did anyone say the imperial court hadn't received the news?"

The Nine Heavens Holy Maiden Daji, "It's very simple. If the imperial court receives the news, do you think they will allow the Church of Truth to exist? Such a thing that threatens the very foundation of their rule—no one in the court would ignore it unless they were foolish."

Wanwan: "That makes sense. It seems that not only are there problems in the martial arts world, but the officialdom is probably in even worse shape."

Li Xunhuan: "Wait a minute, the group leader said before that the Church of Truth operates in a secretive manner. But since they have already taken control of Jiangnan, no matter how secretive they are, there are always some things they can't avoid. If they want to control the officialdom, someone has to step forward. Perhaps the group leader can follow this line of inquiry and maybe find something."

Xu Xian: "Even Dugu Qiubai couldn't meet the leader of the Church of Truth, so it's unlikely that those in officialdom could either."

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "It's always good to have another lead. What if we find the big fish hiding behind it all? Haha, I'm curious what the higher-ups of the Church of Truth will look like when they meet the group leader. It must be quite a sight, hehehe?"

Angel Yan: "→_→, since the group owner is the God of Truth of the Church of Truth, the simplest way is for the god to appear in the world. Maybe the group owner can even gain a group of fanatical fans, fanatical fans who can do whatever they want."

Li Hao was speechless.

Yan, will you die if you don't drive?

What time is it? You're still thinking about driving? Don't you see I'm already swamped with work?

Li Hao leaned against a stone pillar, leisurely sipping his tea and listening to the songstress's beautiful voice, indicating that he was really, really busy right now.

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "Wow (*^▽^*), it really seems so. Then the Big Brother Group Leader can do whatever he wants, that's great!"

Goddess Leona: "Hehe, the Dog Group Owner got away with it again, not happy."

Tushan Yaya: "Add one."

Lin Jiu: "Laughing and crying. jpg, is there really such a good thing?"

Li Xunhuan: "Laughing and crying. jpg, things aren't that simple. If they planned this all along, they would definitely have made preparations. I guess they would have left a backup plan to deal with the group leader, otherwise wouldn't everything be for someone else's benefit?"

Biyou: "That's true."

Omniscient Li: "Let's put this matter aside for now. I'll go check on the Wang Family first."

The Wang Family, living room.

Madam Wang wore light makeup, and her mature face possessed a more charming allure than that of Little Dragon Maiden, exuding the delicate charm of a mature woman. She wore a white embroidered lotus-patterned bodice underneath, a pale yellow gauze long robe over it, and a moon-white long skirt with blue waves embroidered at the bottom.

Little Dragon Maiden sat to the left of Madam Wang, her moon-white dress unchanged.

The two stood together, looking like sisters.

However, compared to Madam Wang's voluptuous figure, Little Dragon Maiden was truly just Little Dragon Maiden.

Li Hao's gaze swept over the two of them, especially their almost identical faces, and he couldn't help but sigh at how wonderful it was.

Madam Wang was clearly very wary of Li Hao's visit and showed no sign of welcoming him.

Looking at Madam Wang's cold expression and impatient mood, Li Hao was utterly speechless.

This woman!

He shook his head slightly inwardly, glancing at the Little Dragon Maiden not far away.

Little Dragon Maiden narrowed her eyes slightly, appearing completely composed, as if she hadn't noticed Li Hao's embarrassment at all.

In fact, even Little Dragon Maiden didn't know how to handle the awkward situation.

She had already arranged with Madam Wang that a friend would be visiting, and Madam Wang had readily agreed.

But who knows what Madam Wang was thinking? Upon seeing Li Hao, she actually showed great hostility. Little Dragon Maiden was completely bewildered by Madam Wang's inexplicable change and couldn't figure out what grudge the two had ever had.

Of course, Little Dragon Maiden also knew that the possibility of Madam Wang and Li Hao having a grudge was very small.

"Hmph, it's you."

Madam Wang said coldly, "What has this trouble you caused this time?"

Li Hao narrowed his eyes slightly, only then remembering that he had met Madam Wang before.

Although, cough cough, the meeting might not have been very friendly.

Okay, I admit it, I think I showed off a bit in front of them back then, and then I just walked away. But that happened so long ago, why are you still holding a grudge?

Li Hao was speechless with frustration, but faced with Madam Wang's indifference, he could only silently endure it.

What can I do? I'm just a pitiful and helpless little group admin. I can't exactly arrest people and whip them with candles, cough cough, although thinking about it makes me a little bit... ptooey, absolutely not.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Madam has a good memory. I've come today to ask you about some things."

Madam Wang's expression softened slightly, and she said, "For the sake of Little Dragon Maiden Girl, speak."

Li Hao: "Madam Wang, have you ever heard of the Church of Truth?"

Madam Wang's newly trimmed, willow-leaf-shaped eyebrows furrowed. "The Church of Truth, you're looking for that group of lunatics."

Madman!

Li Hao raised an eyebrow slightly, remaining noncommittal.

Madam Wang pondered for a moment, then said, "I don't know their exact origins, but this group of people has gone mad, and they're incredibly powerful madmen at that. If you want to die, go to Bright Peak in the Kunlun Mountains."

Bright Peak!

Li Hao looked slightly surprised.

Isn't Bright Peak the headquarters of the Ming Cult? Could this mysterious Church of Truth really be related to the Ming Cult?

However, on the other hand, the predecessor of the Ming Cult was Manichaean Sect, and some people seem to directly refer to the Ming Cult as Manichaean Sect. I don't know what the connection is in this world.

Li Hao smiled and said, "Thank you, Madam. Farewell."

When Madam Wang heard that Li Hao was leaving, the expression on her face completely relaxed.

She returned Li Hao's smile, as if to say, "You're smart to know what's good for you."

"Take care, and don't bother seeing me off."

As she spoke, Madam Wang turned to look at Little Dragon Maiden, her gaze gentle and tender, bright and affectionate, and softly said, "Little Dragon Maiden Girl, I've recently learned some new dessert recipes, would you like to try them?"

Before Li Hao even left the living room, he witnessed everything that was happening behind him.

His eye twitched slightly, and he inexplicably wanted to say "Holy crap!"

Li Hao suddenly understood why Madam Wang's attitude had become so cold.

Last time he came to the Wang Family, he took Little Dragon Maiden away.

For the next few years, Little Dragon Maiden stayed in Zhongnan Mountain.

Perhaps Madam Wang thought she was going to take Little Dragon Maiden away again, or perhaps she saw herself as a rival in love?

only.

Thinking of the almost identical appearance of Little Dragon Maiden and Madam Wang, Li Hao silently raised his head and looked up at the sky.

What a waste!

But thinking about it, bah, this group admin never thought of that, absolutely not.

Chat Group.

Qiao Feng: "Group owner, may I come along?"

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Tsk tsk, I want to go see a play too."

Little Fairy Yan Lingji: "(*^▽^*) Haha, I'm looking forward to the Big Brother Group Leader beating up those fake charlatans. I want to see the Big Brother Group Leader show off, the Big Brother Group Leader must start a live stream!"

Tushan Yaya: "Hmph, I'm curious too."

Li Xunhuan: "Laughing and crying. jpg, these people's biggest mistake in this life is probably using the group owner's name to swindle and deceive."

Biyou: "→_→, what has Lu Xueqi, the little piggy, been up to lately?"

Lu Xueqi: "Study."

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "I've completely forgotten, where is Miss Lu Xueqi now?"

Lu Xueqi: "Wang Family, accompany Wang Yuyan to read."

Everyone was stunned.

Accompanying Wang Yuyan to read books?

Lu Xueqi offered no explanation, nor did she have any interest in doing so.

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Group Leader, when are we going to the Kunlun Mountains?"

The Omniscient Li: "If you have nothing else to do, go now."

Qiao Feng: "Okay."

Invincible Urchin Gu Santong: "Add one."

Kunlun Mountains, Bright Peak.

Before arriving at Bright Peak, Li Hao had always thought it would be a rather desolate place.

After all, the Kunlun Mountains are located in a plateau region, surrounded by towering mountains and a harsh environment.

But when Li Hao arrived at the foot of Bright Peak, he realized he was wrong, not only wrong, but terribly wrong.

This place is not only incredibly prosperous, but it also boasts sights unlike anything else in the world.

Skyscrapers and neat roads!

The streets were bustling with traffic, and even cars could be seen!

However, the cars here are very rudimentary, and they don't use gasoline, but rather some kind of magical or fantastical mechanical device.

Besides that, what impressed Li Hao the most was the cleanliness of the city.

All the walls were painted white and decorated with red flames at the bottom, making the whole city look like a raging fire, which was quite spectacular. The city streets were all paved with bluestone, which was spotless and could be seen shining.

If Li Hao didn't know he was in the Jin Yong's Heroes World, he would have thought he had arrived in a bustling Europe city in the early 20th century just by looking at the scene before him.

No, the atmosphere and cleanliness here far surpass those of Europe capitals in the early 20th century.

Gu Santong looked utterly astonished and asked in surprise, "This?"

Qiao Feng was equally shocked.

He was familiar with the Bright Peak of the Kunlun Mountains, but he never imagined it would be like this.

The city before them was vast; based on Qiao Feng's experience, it must have at least several hundred thousand inhabitants.

A city with hundreds of thousands of people might not seem like much in modern times, but on a global scale, it was a remarkable achievement. After all, the largest capital city in the world at that time only had a population of one million, and the largest Western capital city of the same era had a population of at most a few hundred thousand.

Hundreds of thousands of people!

Moreover, it was located at the Bright Peak of the Kunlun Mountains, in the harsh environment of the plateau region.

Qiao Feng exclaimed, "The Church of Truth is no ordinary sect."
