As the domain dissipated, Xia Weier rushed in and looked at Jiang Yun anxiously, tears flashing in her bright eyes. "Husband, are you all right?"
"How could anything happen to me? If he hadn't run so fast, he'd be the one in trouble."
Jiang Yun smiled and wrapped an arm around Xia Weier.
Nine Secrets: Zhe truly deserved to be the most supreme secret healing technique.
By circulating Nine Secrets: Zhe during battle, he could remain at his peak at all times. Only his robes had become somewhat tattered.
A divine light flashed, and Jiang Yun changed into a fresh set of clothes. Everything returned to normal, with no sign that he had just defeated a Four Extremes Realm cultivator across realms.
He left the area with Xia Weier. If Zhao Fa called people over and trapped them here, they would be finished.
Treasures stirred men's hearts. Sufficient Divine Source could make even a sacred land tear off all pretense.
It was enough to make cultivators like Zhao Fa take the risk of intercepting and killing Jiang Family cultivators.
Jiang Yun and Xia Weier altered their appearances before flying toward the Lihuo Sect.
As for being wanted, Jiang Yun was not afraid. Unlike Ye Fan, he was not without backing.
How much nerve would the Ziwei Sect need to dare issue a warrant for someone surnamed Jiang?
Before they had investigated Jiang Yun's background clearly, they would not dare do such a thing.
The Lihuo Sect was not too far away, only a little over a thousand li. For the two of them, it was merely an hour's journey.
The lands of the Northern Region were desolate, with crimson soil and reddish-brown rocks. Everything was bleak and lifeless, and signs of human habitation were rare along the way.
The boundless land was utterly empty, without the slightest trace of life. Only a few barren stone hills dotted the horizon.
It was hard to imagine that beneath this barren, deathly land lay abundant reserves of Source Ore.
Along the way, Jiang Yun and Xia Weier encountered several bands of bandits. Jiang Yun stopped and had Xia Weier go defeat them.
At first, Xia Weier could not bear to do it, until she witnessed a village being slaughtered because it could not hand over enough Source.
The bandits burned, killed, looted, and committed every evil imaginable. The sight deeply shook her. These bandits were not human; they were demons.
Once she completely cast aside her mental barriers, Imperial Dragon Qi surged forth and wiped out every bandit she encountered. Gradually, she too became decisive and ruthless in battle.
The Northern Region needed to be cleansed with the blood of sinners.
Jiang Yun was greatly pleased. He wondered whether he could train the timid and cowardly Xia Weier into an empress.
The environment tempered people best. The Northern Region was fierce by nature, bandits were everywhere, and blood was spilled every day. It was a true land of chaos.
What the Northern Region lacked least were bandits, so Xia Weier would never lack opponents to practice against.
It was only a pity that they had not encountered Chen Big Beard's band of bandits. They still needed their support for the Emperor Jade.
After gradually killing off more than a dozen groups of bandits, the two were nearly at the Lihuo Sect.
Jiang Yun used the Source Pearl to instantly crush a bandit squad, killing them and taking their treasures in one smooth motion.
Only a few strange beasts remained below, roaring in terror.
They had gained several hundred jin of Source along the way. Wasn't that much faster than painstakingly searching for Source and refining pills to slowly accumulate it?
"Wei'er, do you know why there are so many bandits in this region?"
Jiang Yun looked at Xia Weier, who hated evil as though it were a personal enemy.
"I don't know. Husband, do you?"
Xia Weier looked somewhat confused, unable to understand why there were so many wicked people upon this land.
"Because someone supports these bandits from behind the scenes." Jiang Yun continued, "Without support, these bandits would have been wiped out long ago."
"Why would these people aid evil?"
Xia Weier wore a puzzled expression, her mood growing somewhat low.
"The Lihuo Sect ahead, along with the Azure Cloud Sect, Mysterious Moon Cave, and Seven Stars Pavilion—these four powers are the source of the bandits in this region."
Jiang Yun pointed ahead and spoke calmly to Xia Weier.
He had spent the journey trying to stir Xia Weier's fighting spirit, wanting to see where her limits lay.
Otherwise, he feared that once they arrived, Xia Weier would be unable to harden her heart.
"Let's go. We'll destroy the Lihuo Sect and cleanse the root of this evil."
Jiang Yun called out to Xia Weier, looking every bit like a high-spirited wandering hero.
Xia Weier was infected by that aura as well. "This land needs to be cleansed."
Before long, Jiang Yun and Xia Weier arrived at a beautiful, verdant oasis.
Green mountains towered here, shrouded in thin mist. Between the peaks, waterfalls thousands of feet high plunged down, scattering veils of spray.
Spring water babbled onward, while plump fish leaped from the streams. It gave this beautiful place even more life and spirit.
In the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness or the central region, such scenery might not have amounted to much.
But in the Northern Region, this barren place where the earth seemed thoroughly soaked in blood, everything here was like an Immortal State.
Lush vegetation, misty waters, ethereal halls, green mountains and clear rivers—it was truly like a sacred pure land.
Jiang Yun and Xia Weier stood side by side, their robes fluttering as they arrived at this sanctuary.
"May I ask who you two fellow cultivators are, and what business brings you to our Lihuo Sect?"
A Lihuo Sect disciple noticed them. Sensing that their temperaments were extraordinary, otherworldly yet ethereal, he did not dare address them coldly.
Instead, he greeted them with great courtesy.
A thug was not frightening; an educated thug was. Although Xia Weier had little experience in the world, she would not judge others by appearances.
When she saw Jiang Yun step back behind her, Xia Weier understood that this was the test Jiang Yun had given her.
"Are you the ones raising those bandits outside?" Xia Weier demanded loudly, murderous intent tempered by blood spreading around her.
The Lihuo Sect disciple was somewhat stunned, unable to tell where this foolish brat had come from.
"This is none of your concern. Go back where you came from. Our Lihuo Sect does not receive idlers."
Xia Weier's little face reddened with anger. She had never doubted Jiang Yun's words. If Jiang Yun said these people were raising bandits, then they certainly were.
With a raise of her hand, two streaks of divine light cut across the sky and blasted the Lihuo Sect's mountain gate into ruins.
Jiang Yun knew the show was about to begin. He threw out one great banner after another, sealing the entire oasis.
The disciple saw that the two were far beyond his ability to resist. He hurriedly retreated and shouted.
"Sect Master! Elders! Someone's here to smash the place up!"
His cry spread throughout the oasis in an instant, and streaks of divine rainbow soared into the sky from the mountain gate.
Several hundred Lihuo Sect elders and disciples stood throughout the sky, divine lights of different colors swirling around them.
They all looked toward Xia Weier and Jiang Yun. For a time, there was utter silence, yet their imposing presence blanketed the heavens.
"Not even sacred land heirs would dare be this arrogant. At their age, how dare they swagger about the world like this?"
"Do they really think they're renowned masters or mighty giants? Hahaha, how laughable."
"Hahaha! Two people dare come here and act wild? Did they seal this place because they're afraid they won't run fast enough?"
Xia Weier frowned. As she circulated her mystic art, a Heavenly Dragon burst forth in an instant. Imperial Dragon Qi surged and roared, immediately occupying the firmament and exerting pressure upon heaven and earth.
An accidental discovery: a city's advertising focus has shifted from infertility treatment to cosmetic surgery. This shows that people are gradually realizing that the main reason they cannot reproduce is their faces.
