"Please, this way, move quickly... SHH!"

In the reed marshes by the riverbank.

Wu Wang gestured for silence, and the three men and three women behind him immediately crouched and hid.

After several shadows in the sky flew away, Wu Wang transformed into a wisp of blue smoke and darted towards a hidden cave not far away; the six figures followed closely behind, silently burrowing in, and stood clinging to the cave walls.

To be frank, the Divine Children's methods of concealment were quite formidable, hardly detectable even by the average Heavenly Immortal.

Wu Wang simply must praise the Grand Elder in person, out loud.

One of the Divine Children raised an ancient-looking bronze mirror, causing it to float above their heads in the cavern.

At the entrance of the cave, the fabric of Heaven and Earth rippled slightly, and in the blink of an eye, it was covered with tall grass; the cave had been perfectly concealed, appearing as solid ground from the outside.

In a corner of the cave lay several sets of clothing, which Wu Wang used his mana to lift and present in front of them.

"Your excellency, please change into these most common attires of the Human Domain."

One of the women walked to the entrance of the cave and carefully observed the outside, whispering, "Don't we already look common enough?"

Wu Wang examined the six people's attire closely.

The three men wore silk robes embroidered with gold-threaded mythical beasts. Paired with their handsome faces, calling them common was a stretch but not notably conspicuous.

The two women of the human race were also dressed in exquisitely styled gowns, at most could be considered as exceptionally beautiful Fairy Immortals from the Human Domain.

But what about the listless girl from the White Kingdom in the corner? How could she have any relation to being ordinary, even the breadth of half a Spirit Stone apart? Her beautiful features were one thing, her bright white hair was another... but the ancient-style gown she wore, the faint glow emanating from her skin, and those peach blossom eyes with light blue irises, was she not too eye-catching?

With a troubled look, Wu Wang said in a low voice, "Your excellency, these are clothes I brought from the Lin Family's military camp."

"Is the Lin Family the human race power that governs this place?"

"Yes, the head of the Lin Family is Lin Nuhao," responded Wu Wang, "a top expert in the Human Domain."

"I've heard of his name; he is indeed a formidable figure."

Without further hesitation, the Divine Children each took a set of clothes and quickly changed, each wrapping themselves with a small barrier.

The girl from the White Kingdom didn't budge and didn't even glance at the clothes placed beside her.

Wu Wang observed quietly from the side for a while.

Was making them change clothes just a simple act to demonstrate his thoroughness and win their trust? That was only the first layer of his calculations. More importantly, through the Divine Thought he sensed at that moment, Wu Wang had a rough idea of how many storage magic treasures these people had on the outside. That was Wu Wang's true goal.

After they changed their clothes, Wu Wang immediately said, "We will wait here for a while, and later move towards the nearest city in the Human Domain. I have already found temporary hiding spots along the way. Once we enter the city, it won't be so easy for the enemy to search for your excellencies."

"Very good, you have been very thorough!"

The young man who appeared to be the oldest said, "What's your name, and what position do you hold at the Ten Gods Temple?"

"Subordinate is named Jiejun."

Wu Wang looked somewhat embarrassed as he said in a low voice, "Subordinate has never held a clear position in the Ten Gods Temple. I was sent to infiltrate the Lin Family's military camp early on and was ordered some time ago to come and escort you, your excellencies."

"You have done very well," said the young man with a smile, "we shall certainly reward and promote you later."

Wu Wang replied with joy, "Thank you, your excellency!"

A woman with delicate eyebrows asked, "You just said that the Second Elder was exposed?"

"Subordinate has been in the Lin Family all this time and doesn't know the specifics; it seems from the rumors in the Human Domain that it had to do with a certain 'Man of a Thousand Talents'."

Wu Wang shook his head and sighed, "It is just hearsay, but the Second Elder's end was too miserable to watch."

Conveniently, Wu Wang started mentioning the various tortures he had heard about in a previous life, such as 'Primordial Spirit Lanterns' and 'Fish Hooks Hanging Eyelids', to give these six Divine Children something to ponder.

Of these six, except for the White Kingdom girl who remained unresponsive, the expressions of the other five became extremely grave.

"Is the Human Domain so ruthless?"

"Does that mean the Second Elder has betrayed us and the Human Domain now knows of our arrival?"

"What are we to do now?"

They were panicking; these five youngsters were already panicking.

Wu Wang said, "Your excellencies need not worry. Subordinate will risk my life to ensure all of your safe return! Right, these are the contact signs we'll need to use. I'll take this chance to explain them to you all one by one."

With that, Wu Wang sat cross-legged on the spot, while the three men and two women immediately gathered around to watch as he drew one symbol after another, explaining the meaning behind these cryptic symbols. These were all interrogated from the Second Elder, and his memory had been searched to verify the information. The purpose was to flesh out the details of their identities and increase the credibility of their personas.

As he spoke, Wu Wang didn't forget to add, "My lords, please be sure to conceal your aura at all times; there might be Heavenly Immortal experts nearby on the lookout."

「Meanwhile, a hundred li away in a flying shuttle high in the sky,」

Lin Qi, who was holding a Crystal Ball in both hands, suddenly turned his head and called out anxiously, "Send six Heavenly Immortals to conduct a nearby search immediately! Tell them to search slowly, just for show, and not to actually find anything!"

"Yes!"

A Lin Family retainer took the order and left. Moments later, six Heavenly Immortal experts began to search near the riverside, floating on clouds in pairs, wandering leisurely back and forth.

Within the cave dwelling, the six Divine Children held their breath.

The quiet young lady from the White Kingdom also frowned repeatedly, her aura nearly imperceptible.

A Divine Child made a hand signal, took out a somewhat strange Beast Core, and drew a complex Talisman.

The Beast Core trembled slightly, transmitting the voices of two Heavenly Immortals passing by on clouds a short distance away:

"Eh, Sect Master Wuwang sure is generous."

"Yeah, I just took the opportunity to flatter Sect Master Wuwang a bit more while we had the chance, to properly justify these mines."

"We should continue to praise him later. This is a young person valued by our Pavilion Master. Who knows, maybe one day, with a WHOOSH, he'll be our peak leader directly."

"Do you think Sect Master Wuwang could be a candidate for the Human Emperor?"

"It feels like his foundations are a bit shallow, but his potential is great. Let's see if he can reach the Heavenly Immortal Realm within a hundred years of cultivation."

"Speaking of which, Sect Master Wuwang has a really sharp eye for things, and his strategies are top-notch, way better than those old-fashioned tricks of our Pavilion Master! HAHAHA!"

The other Heavenly Immortal elder imitated the voice of the Pavilion Master of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion, shouting, "Just do it! Don't chicken out! Why don't you dare to fight them? HAHAHAHA!"

Wu Wang: ...

Fortunately, the two Heavenly Immortals just laughed loudly through the transmitted voices and didn't continue speaking.

It truly gave Wu Wang a scare, causing two drops of cold sweat to break out. Are the experts of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion always this bold? Those earlier flatteries that exaggeratedly inflated the praise by dozens of times, were they really just to butter me up? Compared to these crafty old foxes, I, who hail from the Northern Wilderness, am just too earnest!

The Beast Core that intercepted the transmission lightly vibrated, and the light on it quickly faded, seemingly in need of replenishing Spiritual Power, temporarily useless.

The five looked at each other, their expressions becoming extremely solemn.

"We've indeed exposed ourselves."

"Qiong Qi's father's warning echoes in my ears; this Wu Wangzi is indeed our formidable rival. We must find an opportunity to eliminate him in the future!"

"First, let's consider how to survive. Luckily, we're all gathered here and haven't split up."

Upon hearing this, Wu Wang raised his eyebrows; this was certainly important news. The second batch of Divine Children were all here.

Lin Qi had also heard these words and had already dispatched people to call the six Heavenly Immortals back, replacing them with a few others and strictly ordering them not to idle talk or transmit frivolous messages.

Wu Wang waited a while, then asked softly, "The Sect Master Wuwang you mentioned, is that the Sect Master Wuwangzi of the Demonic Sect who is close with the Lin Family son?"

"It's him," said a woman softly. "He is the teacher of Lin Qi, who holds the Yan Emperor's mandate; their relationship is not just a simple friendship. According to the news sent back by our brothers, this Wu Wangzi once achieved seventh-grade enlightenment in a dream during his cultivation, which was quite frightening. This information was obtained from that Demonic Sect with the long name. We're not sure of its veracity, and it's probably exaggerated. In any case, Wu Wangzi is one of the people we must eliminate."

Wu Wang bowed his head and said, "This subordinate was too talkative and shouldn't have asked about this matter."

"No matter, we owe it to you that we're still alive."

"Thank you, Jiejun."

Gratitude sincerely shone in Wu Wang's eyes.

False praises came from those grandmasters of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion who had received his treasure sack, each one speaking eloquently without a hint of shame. Genuine praises were from the few who had not yet experienced the lashings of the Human Domain, carrying the unsophisticated Evil God bloodline, that heartfelt "thank you."

Wu Wang was deeply moved by this and decided on the spot to put more pressure on them and test the resilience of these Divine Children.

In the following hour, Wu Wang said three things:

"I'm not sure if those grandmasters will return. My lord, shall we go out from here or continue waiting?"

"What? The beast tide has been cleared so quickly? They're probably going to start a thorough search by digging three feet into the ground."

"My lord, the Divination Technique in the Human Domain is quite formidable. If they have a Divination Master among them, they might be able to calculate our current location."

Shortly after these three statements were announced, successive scenes played out:

A number of Heavenly Immortals searched near their location;

A large group of cultivators searched in teams as diligently as oxen plowing a field;

Dozens of Heavenly Immortal experts and thousands of cultivators formed a siege. They each released their aura while an old Heavenly Immortal shouted loudly:

"The Divination Master of the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion has provided the location; within these dozens of miles, search carefully for me! Don't overlook a single mouse hole!"

The first task that Wu Wang entrusted to Lin Qi was quite well executed.

Within that concealed tunnel, the expressions of the six Divine Children, including the girl from the White Kingdom, changed repeatedly.

At the moment, trapped and surrounded, they had turned pale and were in a daze, with two of them sitting on the ground in silence, foreheads full of cold sweat.

Wu Wang chuckled inwardly. What a master of torment he was.

Among the Divine Children, it was the seemingly most stable young man who collapsed first, starting to mutter to himself:

"Were we sent here... to die?"

"Our fathers raised us, bestowed upon us a lofty mission, we..."

"They've already locked onto our position, that damned Second Elder! No wonder our fathers wanted us to replace them!"

"Enough, now is not the time for this!"

A woman spoke solemnly, "If we are exposed, there will be more to follow to continue purifying this blasphemous land."

Another said, "That's right, we might disappoint our fathers this time."

Another girl asked with a sob in her voice, "What can we still do now?"

"How about underground? We could escape through underground!"

"Are you skilled at digging? Or do you think digging a hole will let you evade the search of Immortal Consciousness?"

The six Divine Children fell silent. Suddenly, one of them glanced at Wu Wang, and then all five turned their gazes upon him.

"Jiejun, do you still have a way out?"

Wu Wang sighed reluctantly, pondered for a moment, and suggested softly, "How about we split up and rush..."

The young man kept clutching his hair and sighed, "There are too many grandmasters outside; there's no escape. They'll search this place soon."

"Jiejun, would you sacrifice yourself for us?"

Wu Wang replied resolutely, "It would be my honor!"

The six Divine Children quickly came up with their plan:

"Good, you will replace one of us six. The one being replaced will take all of our treasures and hide underground here, while Jiejun and the remaining five will break out together."

"Right, at least take our fathers' bestowed Essence Blood to the Ten Gods Temple."

"Those useless fools! Hmph! Why aren't they coming to rescue us!"

Wu Wang asked, "Who wants to live?"

As soon as he said this, aside from the girl from the White Kingdom, a flame of desire for survival ignited in the eyes of the five Divine Children, and they became locked in a standstill.

Wu Wang took out five jade slips and said, "My lords, why don't you draw lots?"

"Agreed!"

The five immediately accepted the suggestion.

However, the girl from the White Kingdom frowned tighter and said indifferently, "You all are the true waste."

The young man coldly stated, "You, the foreigner who was brought along halfway, needn't draw lots, right?"

A foreigner brought along halfway? Wu Wang took an extra look at the White Kingdom girl but could not see anything out of the ordinary; the power of her bloodline was also quite pure. But why would a Divine Child's team include such a conspicuous girl from the White Kingdom? Wu Wang still couldn't quite figure this out, feeling a few more shades of caution toward this girl.

The other five Divine Children performed a draw, and one girl picked the lot that signified life.

The other four, with ashen faces, did not say much, each murmuring a few prayers to the Evil God and handing all their storage magic treasures to that girl.

Afterward, the girl's figure slowly sank into the earth.

Without needing to call for him, the Grand Elder lurking in the shadows was already keeping a close eye on this girl.

"Go ahead."

With a deep voice, Wu Wang commanded, walking out of the cave with a look of determination, as if his silhouette bore the phrase 'prepared to meet death' in bold letters.

The girl from the White Kingdom watched him with a hint of admiration in her eyes.

Wu Wang squatted in the grass outside for a while until those five individuals finally came over, dragging their feet; they kept looking around as if they hadn't completely given up hope.

Wu Wang encouraged them via a psychic transmission, "Now that it has come to this, we can only do our best to help that person survive, and we must present the illusion of a desperate breakout. Perhaps, there really is a slim chance of survival."

The others nodded, evidently somewhat relieved.

The girl from the White Kingdom suddenly sent a psychic message to Wu Wang, "Later, follow me closely. I can protect you completely and lead you out of this perilous area of the Human Domain."

I? This way of referring to oneself carries some weight.

Wu Wang replied softly, "I vow to advance and retreat together with the others!"

The gaze of the girl from the White Kingdom on him—suddenly shone a bit brighter.

Without realizing it, Wu Wang was issuing commands; he ordered a charge, and his figure flew low across the ground at high speed, followed closely by the five Divine Children, heading straight into the most densely populated area of Human Domain experts.

"They're here!"

"Set the formation! Capture them!"

Suddenly, Wu Wang leapt up; the five Divine Children followed him into the air, and dozens of Liu Guang immediately assailed them from the front!

None of these Liu Guang were aiming for Wu Wang; they were completely locked onto the people behind him.

But in the blink of an eye, a white shadow flashed before Wu Wang's eyes, and the girl from the White Kingdom appeared in front of him, staring down those Liu Guang.

Dozens of Liu Guang zipped past just above their heads, gravely injuring the other four Divine Children, who were then bound up by Immortal Ropes like dumplings.

"Citizens of the Human Domain!"

The girl from the White Kingdom raised her hands, and a pillar of pure white light descended from the sky; her entire being radiated with a holy glow, exuding a sacred and untouchable majesty.

"I come here today in my incarnate form, as a Young Master of the Heaven Palace—"

BANG!

The girl's shout came to an abrupt halt!

Just as she was about to unleash her aura and declare her identity, she was struck by a sudden blow and sent tumbling out of the beam of light.

The girl from the White Kingdom was full of bewilderment, turning her head to look at Wu Wang; her eyelids were closing weakly as she slumped downward.

"You..."

Wu Wang's expression remained calm as he put away the mine shaft thick as a carriage wheel in his hand, lowering his jaw slightly, his gaze very serene as he said, "Sorry, but I'm a good person."

The girl's body helplessly fell onto the grass and was immediately restrained by several Heavenly Immortals.

The Grand Elder materialized behind Wu Wang, bringing the Divine Child who had originally burrowed into the ground, tossing her among the others below.

This Divine Child had not a single storage magic treasure on her anymore.

"Sect Master," the Grand Elder asked in a low voice, "she from the White just said—"

"What? Did she say something?"

Wu Wang lightly flicked his ear with his pinky finger and said indifferently, "Aren't we here to catch the Divine Children of the Evil God?"

The Grand Elder immediately understood and smiled as he handed a storage ring to Wu Wang.

Wu Wang received it with a smile and slipped it onto his finger.

With a sweep of his Spiritual Sense, he saw more than twenty storage magic treasures floating inside this storage ring, which concealed who knows how many more treasures, Evil God blood, Evil God Essence Blood, as well as cultivation resources.

Before the operation, he had already given the experts from the Benevolent Emperor Pavilion their 'cut', and since they were all shrewd and had received something from him, they naturally would not mention the storage magic treasures of their own accord.

It turns out his efforts had not been in vain.
