“What Black Yin Ancestor? Get out of here!” Wang Chong said from within the stone formation . He had no understanding of the factions of the martial arts world, and he had never heard about any Black Yin Ancestor . Wei Changting’s giving the name of the Black Yin Ancestor was pointless .

Wei Changting’s face shifted colors in anger . The Black Yin Ancestor was like the noon sun in the world of sects, and even the members of the Righteous Alliance regarded the name with dread . For this person to show no respect was truly arrogant to the extreme . But there were times when one was forced to lower their head, and this person was so incredibly powerful that Wei Changting could only swallow his rage .

“Since Senior has decided to intervene, Changting has nothing more to say! Let’s go!”

Wei Changting warily retreated, worried that this foe might strike at any time .

When he had retreated fifty-some steps and seen no reaction, he and his party finally sighed in relief and turned around to wholeheartedly flee .

“Let’s go!”

A few moments later, they had vanished without a trace .

……

Even after Wei Changting was gone and the mountain had fallen quiet, Song Youran continued to pant for breath as she surveyed her surroundings with wide eyes, not daring to let down her guard .

“Senior, my utmost gratitude for saving my life!”

Song Youran turned to where the voice had come from and bowed . Although she seemed very courteous, her head was slightly tilted so that she could peer at her surroundings and see where Wang Chong was .

Wang Chong quietly chuckled to himself at this sight . This girl was definitely not as simple as she seemed .

“Senior, this junior is Song Youran, a disciple of the Righteous Alliance . Could Senior come out so that this Youran can personally thank Senior?” Song Youran respectfully said .

“There’s no need! Just go! It was no trouble, so there’s no need for thanks!” Wang Chong said from within the stone formation .

“This… Since Senior has no desire, then this junior… ah!”

As Song Youran was speaking, her brows creased and her body went limp . Her face pale, she staggered two steps before dropping unconscious to the ground .

“Not good!”

Wang Chong grimaced, not having expected this girl to fall unconscious from blood loss .

With no time to think, Wang Chong rushed out of the formation and grabbed Song Youran’s wrist .

But to Wang Chong’s surprise, just as he rushed over, Song Youran on the ground suddenly made a crafty smile . As Wang Chong went to grab her wrist, Song Youran flipped her hand over and grabbed Wang Chong’s .

“Senior, please forgive this junior for…”

A moment later, she saw a rather thin and scrawny youth of handsome appearance, around eighteen or nineteen years old . Song Youran’s eyes went wide as she was struck dumb .

She had imagined many possibilities, but none of them had placed this unfathomable senior as a straight-browed and handsome young man .

Moreover, his face was pale and his aura was somewhat ragged . This was no senior of the world of sects at all .

“Who are you?” Song Youran subconsciously blurted out .

“You tricked me!”

From the look on Song Youran’s face, Wang Chong instantly knew what was going on . He slowly placed her hand back on the ground and stood up .

“Since Young Miss is fine, I will leave first!”

Wang Chong was still worried over what had happened to his master’s party, and his intervention this time had only been due to a chance encounter . He had no desire to involve himself too much with these people .

“Wait…”

Just when Wang Chong was preparing to leave, he heard a groan from behind him . Wang Chong faintly smiled . After being fooled once, he would not be fooled again .

“Young Miss, there’s no need to keep pretending . You should hurry up and go back!”

A night wind gusted across the mountains, but even though Wang Chong’s voice echoed through his surroundings, there was no response . Wang Chong paused and couldn’t help but turn back . He immediately saw that the ghastly pale Song Youran had collapsed motionless to the ground . Her breathing had become weak while her body had long ago been drenched in blood . Wang Chong grimaced, finally understanding that she had not been trying to trick him this time .

Swoosh!

Wang Chong made a flying leap, at the same time taking out a snow-white pill the size of a pigeon egg . This he fed to the girl while also sending over a stream of Stellar Energy to treat her wounds .

After some time, Song Youran finally awoke, her complexion greatly improved .

“You saved me!”

“Mm . You suffered very heavy injuries . I’ve already treated them for you,” Wang Chong absentmindedly said, his mind elsewhere .

“Thank you,” Song Youran sincerely said, a hint of apology in her eyes . Although she had had no ill intentions in trying to draw Wang Chong out, she had still tricked him .

“Wait a little . Once you’ve recovered, you can go,” Wang Chong nonchalantly said, his body exuding an unfriendly aura .

Song Youran was not angry at these words . If this were an old senior, she would have undoubtedly been filled with fear and respect, but this youth before her seemed to be of a similar age, which instantly made her curious . Song Youran’s eyes sparkled as she examined Wang Chong’s back, countless thoughts seeming to pass through them .

“You’re looking for your guard, right?” Song Youran suddenly said .

“Mm?”

Wang Chong frowned and turned his head .

“Heheh, an extremely hidden edge, knowledgeable in all martial arts—you’re Young Master Qingyang, Zong Shuiyun! Am I right?”

A hint of cunning appeared in Song Youran’s eyes . Although she had asked ‘Am I right’, from her expression, it was clear that she felt that she had correctly deduced Wang Chong’s identity .

“!!!”

Wang Chong was left momentarily dumbfounded . He had already said that Song Youran’s wounds were healed and she could leave . He had never expected her to respond like this . And from the look of supreme confidence on Song Youran’s face that she had seen through all his secrets, Wang Chong immediately realized that this girl had developed some misunderstanding of him, associating him with some Young Master Qingyang, Zong Shuiyun .

“I guessed correctly, right!”

Song Youran had a smug look on her face, feeling as if she had gained the upper hand in this match with Wang Chong .

“Everyone in the world of sects says that Young Master Qingyang, Zong Shuiyun, is an erudite scholar who has studied countless martial arts, both righteous and evil, understanding all their flaws and able to notice the flaws of an opponent with a glance . But when he was born, he was lacking one of the nine Yang, so despite his incredible talent, he was never able to achieve a very high level of martial arts . But his special ability has everyone in the world of sects hailing him as the leader of the Four Young Masters . Moreover, he has always been very inconspicuous in his conduct and has never interacted much with the major sects, so his whereabouts are often unknown and almost no one can recognize him . The only thing one can look at to recognize him is his extremely powerful guard . You got separated from him, right? You’re not leaving this place because you’re waiting for him, right?”

Song Youran grinned . This strange fellow was truly unfriendly, but the more he was like this, the more she felt that she had guessed his identity correctly . It was only after a great deal of thought that she had connected Wang Chong to Young Master Qingyang, Zong Shuiyun!

The most important factor was that both of them were very young .

Truly too young!

Meanwhile, Wang Chong said nothing, but his eyes shifted .

Interesting!

This thought suddenly occurred to Wang Chong .

He had been just about ready to drive this girl away, but he was slowly starting to get interested . It was obvious that she had recognized him as someone else, but he truly had not imagined that there would be someone similar to him in the world of sects . And it seemed like this person was like him and able to use a few sentences to guide someone into defeating a stronger foe .

“I’ve never said anything like that!” Wang Chong indifferently said .

“Haha, I know that you don’t want other people to know . Relax; I won’t tell anyone!”

Song Youran mischievously winked at Wang Chong .

“But, Young Master, with the appearance of the Origin Immortal Palace, many factions have gathered in this place . If Young Master stays here alone, you might not be safe . Why not return with me to the Righteous Alliance? With the protection of our Righteous Alliance, no one will dare to strike Young Master and Young Master will be much safer . In addition, our Righteous Alliance has many people, and perhaps they could help Young Master find your guard . “

Song Youran’s eyes were bright as she vigorously made her case .

Although Young Master Qingyang was not a powerful martial artist, his erudite learning would raise the strength of any sect . Just a few words of instruction from him would probably allow the disciples of a sect to grow stronger by leaps and bounds . There were many sects who had tried to recruit him .

Song Youran had never imagined that she would meet the mysterious Young Master Qingyang . If she could take Young Master Qingyang to see the elders and then have him join the Righteous Alliance, he would be of enormous aid to the alliance .

Wang Chong said nothing, only pretended to consider the offer .

Song Youran saw that Wang Chong was ‘tempted’ and redoubled her efforts . “I know that Young Master likes to explore mysterious places . With the appearance of the Origin Immortal Mountain, I can have the experts of the alliance escort Young Master to explore the treasures of that place!”

Everyone in the world of sects knew that Young Master Qingyang had little interest in the affairs of that world, but he did enjoy paying a visit to famous mountains, great rivers, and other legendary and dangerous areas of the world of sects .

Young Master Qingyang had clearly appeared here because he wanted to see the treasury of the Origin Immortal Mountain .

Wang Chong’s heart shook when he heard the words ‘Origin Immortal Mountain’ . He was only considering the offer before, but now, he found himself very tempted .

Whether in this life or my last, the world of sects has always been too far away from me and difficult to encounter . I might as well follow her and look around . I can understand the situation in the world of sects, and besides that… I remember the Formation Elder saying that one of Master’s greatest foes is the Righteous Alliance Lord . By getting in, I can learn a little about the enemy, and I can also investigate the veracity of the Origin Immortal Mountain .

Although everyone in the world knew the name of the King of Foreign Lands, this was not entirely the case in the world of sects . The Imperial Court and this world were two completely different places with very little intersection . Thus, by pretending to be Young Master Qingyang, Wang Chong would not actually be in that much danger .

“Fine!” Wang Chong finally said .

“Wonderful!”

Song Youran clenched her fists in excitement .

Around five minutes later, Wang Chong had finished preparing himself and followed Song Youran to the base of the Righteous Alliance .
