As the domain dissipated, Xia Weier rushed in and looked nervously at Jiang Yun, tears glinting in her bright eyes. "Husband, are you all right?"

"How could I be hurt? If he hadn't run so fast, he'd be the one in trouble."

Jiang Yun smiled and pulled Xia Weier into his arms.

Nine Secrets: Zhe truly deserved to be the most supreme healing secret art.

By circulating Nine Secrets: Zhe in battle, he could remain at his peak at all times. Only his robes had been left somewhat tattered.

A divine light flashed, and Jiang Yun changed into a fresh set of clothes. Everything was restored to normal; there was no sign that he had just defeated a Four Extremes Realm cultivator across realms.

He took Xia Weier away from the area. If Zhao Fa called people over and trapped them, they would be finished.

Treasures stirred people's greed. Enough Divine Source was sufficient to make even a holy land tear off all pretense.

It could make cultivators like Zhao Fa risk intercepting and killing Jiang Family cultivators.

Jiang Yun and Xia Weier altered their appearances and flew toward the Lihuo Sect.

As for being wanted, Jiang Yun was not afraid. Unlike Ye Fan, he was not without a backer.

How much nerve would the Ziwei Sect need to issue a warrant for someone surnamed Jiang?

Before they had investigated Jiang Yun's background clearly, they would not dare to do such a thing.

The Lihuo Sect was not far away, only a little over a thousand li. For the two of them, it took merely an hour.

The Northern Region was desolate, with crimson soil and reddish-brown rocks. Everything was bleak and barren, and signs of human habitation were rare along the way.

The boundless land was exceedingly empty, without the slightest trace of life. Only a few bald stone mountains dotted the horizon.

It was hard to imagine that this lifeless, barren land contained rich reserves of Source mines beneath its surface.

Along the way, Jiang Yun and Xia Weier encountered some bandits. Jiang Yun stopped and had Xia Weier go defeat them.

At first, Xia Weier could not bear to do it, until she personally witnessed a village being unable to hand over enough Source.

The bandits slaughtered the village, burned, killed, plundered, and committed every evil imaginable. The sight deeply shook her. These bandits were not human; they were devils.

She completely cast aside her mental reservations. Imperial Dragon Qi surged forth and wiped out every bandit she saw. Gradually, she became decisive and ruthless in battle.

The Northern Region needed to be cleansed with the blood of evil.

Jiang Yun was quite pleased. Could he perhaps train the timid and weak Xia Weier into an empress?

The environment tempered people best. The Northern Region's people were fierce, 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 never lacked opponents to practice on.

It was only a pity that they had not encountered Chen Big Beard's bandit group. They still needed their support for the Emperor Jade.

After gradually slaughtering the bandits from more than a dozen groups, the two of them were nearly at the Lihuo Sect.

Jiang Yun used the Source Pearl to instantly crush a bandit group, killing them and taking their treasures in one smooth motion.

Only some strange beasts below remained, howling 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 accumulate it?

"Weier, do you know why there are so many bandits in this region?"

Jiang Yun looked at Xia Weier, who hated evil with a passion.

"I don't know. Husband, do you?"

Xia Weier looked somewhat confused, unable to understand why there were so many wicked people on this land.

"Because these bandits have people backing them." Jiang Yun continued, "Without support, these bandits would have been wiped out long ago."

"Why would those people aid evil?"

Xia Weier looked puzzled, her expression somewhat downcast.

"The Lihuo Sect ahead, along with the Azure Cloud Sect, Mysterious Moon Cave, and Seven Stars Pavilion—those four factions are the source of the bandits in this region."

Jiang Yun pointed ahead and spoke calmly to Xia Weier.

This entire journey had been meant to stir Xia Weier's fighting spirit. He wanted to see where her limits lay.

Otherwise, he feared she would be unable to bring herself to act ruthlessly once they arrived.

"Come on, let's go. We'll destroy the Lihuo Sect and cleanse the root of this evil."

Jiang Yun shouted at Xia Weier, looking every bit like a high-spirited wandering hero.

Xia Weier was also infected by that fervor. "This land needs cleansing."

Before long, Jiang Yun and Xia Weier arrived at a beautiful, picturesque oasis.

Green mountains rose here, wrapped in a light mist. Between the peaks, waterfalls thousands of feet high poured down, throwing up drifting sprays.

Spring water gurgled along, while fat fish leaped from its surface, adding vitality and liveliness to this beautiful place.

In the Southern Region of the Eastern Wilderness or the central region, such scenery might amount to nothing.

But in this barren Northern Region, where the earth itself seemed thoroughly soaked in blood, everything here was like an immortal paradise.

Lush vegetation, hazy waters, ethereal halls, green mountains and clear streams—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 pure land.

"May I ask who you two fellow cultivators are? What business brings you to our Lihuo Sect?"

A Lihuo Sect disciple spotted them. Sensing that their bearing was extraordinary, detached and ethereal, he approached them.

He did not dare speak coldly to them. Instead, he greeted them politely.

Thugs were not frightening; educated thugs were. Though Xia Weier had little experience of the world, she would not judge people by appearances.

When she saw Jiang Yun retreat behind her, Xia Weier understood that this was a test he had given her.

"Are those bandits you raise outside yours?" Xia Weier demanded loudly, the killing intent forged through bloodshed radiating from her body.

The Lihuo Sect disciple was somewhat stunned, not knowing where this reckless fool had come from.

"This is not something you should concern yourself with. Go back where you came from. Our Lihuo Sect does not receive idlers."

Xia Weier's little face flushed with anger. She had never doubted Jiang Yun's words. If Jiang Yun said these people raised the bandits, then they certainly did.

With a raised hand, two divine lights streaked across the sky and blasted the Lihuo Sect's mountain gate to pieces.

Jiang Yun knew the show was about to begin. He threw out one great banner after another, sealing off the entire oasis.

The disciple realized that the two were beyond his ability to resist. He hurriedly backed away and shouted.

"Sect Master! Elders! Someone has come to smash up the place!"

His cry spread through the entire oasis in an instant. Divine rainbows rose into the sky one after another from the mountain gate.

Several hundred Lihuo Sect elders and disciples stood in the air, divine lights of various colors swirling around them.

They all looked toward Xia Weier and Jiang Yun. For a moment, silence reigned. Their imposing presence filled the skies.

"Even heirs of holy lands would not dare be so arrogant. At their age, how dare they swagger through the world like this?"

"Do they really think they're renowned masters or great figures? Hahaha, how ridiculous."

"Hahaha, just two people dare come here and cause trouble? Did they seal off this place because they're afraid they won't run fast enough?"

Xia Weier frowned. As she circulated her mystic art, a heavenly dragon shot out in an instant. Imperial Dragon Qi surged mightily, immediately occupying the heavens and suppressing the world.

An accidental discovery: a city's advertising focus has shifted from infertility treatment to cosmetic surgery. This shows that everyone has gradually realized that the main reason people cannot reproduce is their face.

In this era of judging by looks, cast a vote—make yourself more handsome.
