Chapter 83 Ten Thousand People Go
Upon seeing who it was, Biyao's face lit up with joy, and she called out softly.

"Father, Uncle Qinglong, what brings you here?"

The newcomer was a middle-aged man who looked like a scholar. He had long, thin eyebrows and a square face. He seemed refined, but his bright eyes revealed an imposing aura that commanded respect without anger.

Behind the middle-aged scholar stood a pale-faced scholar, who looked even more dashing than the scholar, with a smile on his face.

As Biyao called out, the identities of the two naturally became clear: the middle-aged scholar was none other than Wanrenwang, the sect leader of the Ghost King Sect, and the pale-faced scholar was the Azure Dragon Saint Envoy, the leader of the Four Saint Envoys.

When Wanrenwang heard Biyao call out softly, he responded with a light laugh, while Qinglong looked at Youji, who was also one of the Four Great Holy Envoys.

Just as Qinglong was about to greet him, he suddenly realized something, his expression changed, and he exclaimed in surprise.

"Little sister, your virginity..."

Wan Renwang turned around upon hearing the sound, but his expression remained unchanged. Instead, he smiled and congratulated You Ji.

"Brother Qinglong, why are you so shocked? It is a joyous occasion that Youji has found a good match. I just wonder what kind of extraordinary person she is that has won the favor of the Vermilion Bird Envoy of our Holy Sect. How about introducing me to her sometime?"

Although Wan Renwang still wore a smile, You Ji felt a chill in her heart.

The four holy envoys were of the same ilk and served under the Holy Mother Ming King. Back then, the Ghost King somehow persuaded Qinglong and others to join, and You Ji, the youngest of the four, naturally followed suit and joined the Ghost King Sect.

Over the years, although Youji had not had much contact with Wanrenwang, she knew that he was a very shrewd and unfathomable person.

If Wan Renwang were to become enraged because of this, You Ji would actually feel much more at ease.

After all, she is now barely considered a member of the Ghost King Sect. Her current secret pregnancy with an outsider is, in a sense, equivalent to leaving the Ghost King Sect without Wan Renwang's consent, and she may even become a potential rival of the Ghost King Sect.

Instead of being angry, Wan Renwang smiled and asked You Ji to introduce Zhang Xiaofan to him, indicating that he wanted to bring Zhang Xiaofan into the Ghost King Sect as well.

Before this, Youji might have thought that Wanrenwang was a man of great talent and ambition, with a magnanimous heart.

But right now, Youji only felt a sense of disappointment; it seemed the Holy Church had truly drifted away...

Fortunately, her face was covered by a veil, so no one could see the expression on You Ji's face. All that could be seen was a hint of shyness in You Ji's eyes as she chuckled softly.

"If the opportunity arises, I will introduce you to the sect leader."

"No rush, no rush, there will be plenty of opportunities in the future."

Wanrenwang chuckled lightly and waved his hand dismissively. Upon hearing this, Biyao looked up at Wanrenwang, her eyes lowered slightly, and a hint of sadness flashed across her face.

Wanrenwang did not notice Biyao's unusual behavior. At this moment, his attention was more focused on Youji and the Qingyun Sect member who had just left.

"Youji, did you gain anything this time? Also, what was the story behind the Qingyun Sect member who left earlier?"

"The gathering of the Blood Refining Hall disciples here has attracted the attention of the Qingyun Sect. The Qingyun disciple was ordered to come down the mountain to investigate this place."

Yu Ji spoke calmly, as if that person had nothing to do with her.

Wanrenwang's expression changed upon hearing this. He was about to ask a question when Youji spoke up again.

“However, that Qingyun disciple has long been introduced into our Holy Sect by the successor of the Hehuan Sect.” Wanrenwang stared at Youji in astonishment, and Qinglong beside him also looked surprised, but he could not see what kind of expression was hidden under Youji’s veil, so they all turned their gazes to Biyao.

Biyao raised her eyes to meet the eager gazes of the crowd, and her eyes seemed to light up as she quickly began to explain.

“Aunt You is right. That Qingyun disciple has already joined our Holy Sect. In the Abyss of Death, we joined forces with him to subdue the Black Water Serpent hiding in the Heartless Sea.”

"Black Water Snake?"

Upon hearing this, Wanrenwang and Qinglong's expressions changed drastically, clearly having both heard of the ancient demonic beast's fame. Qinglong seemed to have thought of something, and his brows furrowed as he spoke.

"But wasn't the Blackwater Serpent killed by the divine beast Yellow Bird a thousand years ago? This is recorded in the sacred scriptures."

"Who led the Holy Church a thousand years ago?"

Youji's voice drifted over, and Qinglong didn't react for a moment. However, Wanrenwang's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he said in a deep voice.

"Could it be that the heartless old man saved that vicious snake back then?"

As he spoke, a hint of excitement appeared in Wanrenwang's eyes, but then, as if remembering something, he seemed to sigh and a look of regret appeared between his brows.

Biyao was surprised by Wanrenwang's words. She had been thinking of telling Wanrenwang herself, but she didn't expect that he had already guessed it. She quickly smiled and replied.

"Father, how did you know? That's what Zhang Xiaofan said."

"Zhang Xiaofan? Is that the Qingyun disciple from earlier?"

Seeing that Biyao seemed much more excited when she talked about the other person, Wanrenwang raised an eyebrow slightly, a thoughtful look flashing in his eyes. He then glanced at Youji beside him, wondering what she was thinking.

Biyao didn't notice any of this. As if she remembered something, a strange expression appeared on her face, and a smile involuntarily appeared on her lips. She said with a gentle smile.

"Yes, it's him. I feel like he knows all the secrets of the Dripping Blood Cave. He not only knows how to get there and how to open it, but he also knows the secret method to control the Black Water Serpent."

Biyao began to speak on her own, and Wanrenwang did not disturb her. He simply stood aside and listened quietly, his gaze fixed on Biyao's face. Looking at Biyao's girlish and lovesick appearance, his deep eyes made it difficult to guess what was in his heart.

Youji slowly withdrew her gaze from Wanren's face, and turned her head to see that Qinglong was staring straight at her, which made Youji pause for a moment.

When Qinglong saw Youji's eyes widen in surprise, he sighed inwardly, but his face remained expressionless as he simply looked away.

As You Ji looked at Qinglong with confusion, she didn't notice that the moment she looked away, Wan Renwang's eyes flashed and he glanced at her.

Biyao talked on and on for a long time, her face becoming increasingly expressive, sometimes smiling, sometimes gritting her teeth, and occasionally, a hint of shyness flashing in her eyes.

Wanrenwang did not disturb them, but listened quietly until Biyao finished speaking. Only then did Wanrenwang smile and speak to her and Youji.

"You two must be tired, go back and rest first."

"Ah."

Biyao responded softly, while Youji nodded silently. Then, the two of them used their magical artifacts to fly away from Mount Kongsang.
