“No more fighting!”

The Black Yin Ancestor waved his hand.

“This old man has only ever fought with those members of the so-called righteous path in his life, and you’re a member of our evil path. Besides… with your current strength, I probably won’t be able to beat you!”

The Black Yin Ancestor helplessly and bitterly smiled. Given the strength Wang Chong had used to deal with the Goat, Deer, and Tiger Immortals, even if there were several more of him, he still probably wouldn’t be able to beat Wang Chong. Since that was the case, there was no need to make things unpleasant for himself. And besides, Wang Chong had saved their lives.

“Kid, our matters in the northwest have been finished, so we’ll be leaving soon. Take this thing with you!”

The Myriad Ghost Ancestor flicked his hand, throwing over a token carrying the image of a black ghost head.

Wang Chong subconsciously raised his hand and caught it, his mind stupefied.

“This is a symbol of status for us ancestors of the Five Ancestor Alliance, the Five Ancestor Token,” the Myriad Ghost Ancestor explained. “Although you’re a noble of the court, if you don’t mind our status as members of the evil path, you can take that token and come find us if you need anything.”

“Ah?”

Wang Chong was overcome with shock. This move from these evil path ancestors was truly too surprising. Raising his head, he saw that the Black Yin Ancestor and Bone Devil Ancestor were silently smiling. This was clearly a decision they had all agreed to beforehand.

After a few moments of silence, Wang Chong solemnly said, “Many thanks!”

He had never had any good impression of these evil path ancestors, and they had even fought before. Moreover, they had only cooperated previously because they had been forced to. But he was forced to admit that this action from the trio had won them a sliver of respect from Wang Chong.

But this sliver of respect almost instantly vanished.

“Kid, what sort of treasure did the Origin Immortal Lord give you?” the Myriad Ghost Ancestor suddenly asked, a patient look in his eyes. The trio stared in unison at Wang Chong.

“So this old ancestor wants to look as well? I’m alone right now, so why doesn’t the ancestor try and fight with me?”

Wang Chong smiled.

“Hahaha…”

The three of them loudly laughed.

Wang Chong possessed astonishing strength, and even putting aside the question of whether the three of them could win, they first needed the consent of all the other martial artists present. The question just now had merely been an attempt to probe Wang Chong.

Still laughing, the three ancestors took their leave, and with their ancestors departing, the Five Ancestor Alliance disciples also began to leave. The place became somewhat more deserted.

Not long after the Five Ancestor Alliance had departed, Song Yuanyi, Xie Guangting, Sikong Yuanjia, and Ouyang Changheng came over. All the Righteous Alliance disciples instantly turned to look.

The Righteous Alliance had the most unique relationship with Wang Chong of all the factions here. At the beginning, Wang Chong had tricked them, after which the ‘misunderstandings’ between them had only gotten deeper and deeper.

“Young Master Wang, it was fate that brought us together, but we must now take our leave.”

It was not Song Yuanyi, but Xie Guangting who was the first to speak. He had a refreshing smile on his face, not showing any of the expected hostility.

“Heh, I also have to go. The Origin Immortal Lord’s seal won’t be able to suppress that man for too long. It’s best to leave the northwest as quickly as possible,” Wang Chong answered.

“Oh?”

Xie Guangting was taken aback, and then he smiled.

“That’s fine. Young Master, let us meet again amongst the lakes and rivers.”

“Wang Chong.” Song Yuanyi suddenly spoke up. “Out of respect for you, I can temporarily put aside the crimes committed by you and your master. Let this settle the accounts between us. The rivers and lakes are vast, and we will probably not meet again.”

Song Yuanyi waved his sleeve and confidently strode away.

Xie Guangting stood alongside Wang Chong and watched Song Yuanyi, internally chuckling. He had known Song Yuanyi for a long time and had never seen Song Yuanyi so easily change his mind, much less when it came to a great demon of the evil path like Zhang Wenfu.

If Song Yuanyi had really meant what he said, he wouldn’t have personally come to bid Wang Chong farewell.

He had never before seen Song Yuanyi place someone so young in such high regard.

“Young Master, don’t take it to heart. This is my personal jade token, the Alliance Lord Token of the Righteous Alliance. If Young Master requires it, please come and find us. Again, please do not take Alliance Lord’s words just now to heart.”

After saying this, Xie Guangting grinned and followed Song Yuanyi.

It’s still the same Song Yuanyi!

Wang Chong was taken aback by Xie Guangting’s words at first, but as he watched the two of them leave, he shook his head, grinned, and put the matter aside.

With the departure of Song Yuanyi and Xie Guangting, all the Righteous Alliance disciples took their leave.

“Wang Chong! Kid! Where are you?” The shout of a familiar voice came from the distance. The startled Wang Chong’s smile faded as he rushed off in that direction.

Several thousand meters away, a short figure was loudly shouting as he made his way over.

“Formation Elder!”

Upon seeing that figure, Wang Chong waved his hand, a knowing smile on his lips.

Everyone had been underground for a very long time, and the entrance and exit were extremely far away from each other. Given all the time that had passed, the Formation Elder had probably learned what had happened and was making his way over.

“Haha, foul brat, you’re finally here!”

Hearing Wang Chong’s voice in the distance, the Formation Elder hastened his pace, excitement on his face.

“Lord Marquis!”

As the Formation Elder rushed over, Wang Chong heard soft footsteps coming from behind him.

“Lord Marquis, I have come to say farewell.”

Wang Chong turned his head to the figure that had appeared behind him.

“Ancestor, you’re leaving so soon?”

Wang Chong looked in surprise at the Lone Silence Ancestor.

“Mm!”

The Lone Silence Ancestor nodded, a complicated look in his eyes.

“The matter here is settled, and I must return to Youzhou in the northeast. There are things there that I must take care of, so I will not give individual goodbyes. When you see your master and the old village chief, give them my regards!”

Wang Chong grunted and nodded. The Lone Silence Ancestor and his master had once been on friendly terms and could be considered as friends. Wang Chong had learned about this in the underground river.

“In truth, I came to find you. There are a few matters I wish to discuss with you before leaving.”

“Oh?”

Wang Chong raised an eyebrow in surprise.

After a few moments of silence, the Lone Silence Ancestor began to speak, his eyes fixed on Wang Chong. “In truth, I didn’t come to the northwest this time for the Origin Immortal Art.”

His first words left Wang Chong flabbergasted.

“Half a month ago, when this old man was at Youzhou, someone came to find this old man and offered conditions that were hard to refuse so that I would deal with a single person. But for various reasons, this old man decided to give up on the mission.”

Buzz!

Wang Chong’s eyes narrowed and his face paled. The Lone Silence Ancestor had spoken in a vague manner, but Wang Chong didn’t need an explanation to understand what was going on.

Wang Chong had never imagined that the Lone Silence Ancestor had come to assassinate him!

The Lone Silence Ancestor stared at Wang Chong and sincerely said, “My identity makes it inconvenient to speak too directly on some matters, but, Young Master, the Imperial Court is a dangerous place. Young Master must be cautious!”

“Many thanks, Ancestor!”

Wang Chong clasped his hands together and bowed.

For the Lone Silence Ancestor to speak with him about such things was incredibly rare. After all, the two did not share a very deep relationship.

Thwish!

Before the Formation Elder could arrive, the Lone Silence Ancestor turned around and left.

Just when the Lone Silence Ancestor had gotten a hundred-some feet away, Wang Chong suddenly called out, “Ancestor!

“That man… could you tell me what condition he offered that you couldn’t refuse?”

His question left the Lone Silence Ancestor trembling all over.

“This old man has a very good friend, a sworn friend, who was jailed in the imperial prison for various reasons. That man promised me that if I finished the mission, he would help me get him out!” The Lone Silence Ancestor stopped for a moment to explain, and then he blinked away, his figure soon completely vanishing.

“A good friend… the imperial prison…”

Wang Chong squinted in the direction the Lone Silence Ancestor had gone, a pensive look in his eyes. But he quickly came back to his senses and went to welcome the Formation Elder.

“Hahaha, foul brat, I finally found you!”

The Formation Elder hadn’t noticed anything unusual. When he saw Wang Chong, he laughed and moved up to give him a fierce hug.

“This place has experienced quite a few earthquakes, and it was right around the place you went in from. This old man was frightened half to death, but it seems that you’ve still got a lot of luck. I just knew that you weren’t that easy to kill!”

“Relax! I haven’t handed over the Formation Divine Treatise I promised to get for you, so how could I just die?”

Wang Chong faintly smiled.

Buzz!

At the mention of the ‘Formation Divine Treatise’, the Formation Elder’s eyes flew open and his body trembled in agitation.

“Wang Chong, kid… you… you…”

The Formation Elder was so excited that he couldn’t even speak a complete sentence.

“Hahaha!”

Wang Chong laughed and stopped keeping him in suspense, taking out the Formation Divine Treatise and handing it over.

“Wonderful! Wonderful!”

The Formation Elder trembled as he took the Formation Divine Treatise, and to Wang Chong’s great consternation, he began to weep, large tears dripping from his eyes.
