While the situation between the Demon Blood Cult and Jigui City was quietly developing like a deep pool with undercurrents, the Quwu Sect was filled with a tranquil and mysterious atmosphere.

Elder Wang sat upright in the quiet room, like an ancient and profound statue. His eyes were deep and solemn, as if he could penetrate the fog of time and space and reach the depths of the unknown destiny.

And in front of him was the universal treasure that every member of the Quwu Sect possessed. This treasure was like a dusty pearl. Although it had many magical effects, it was still missing a crucial function - allowing the holder of the universal treasure to communicate anytime and anywhere.

This lack is like an invisible gap that stands between the paths of information exchange among the disciples of the Wu Sect, making it difficult for them to collaborate quickly and effectively when faced with many complex situations.

The years passed slowly, and time passed by quietly like a white horse passing by. Elder Wang ordered people to conduct exploration and research for many years, as if groping forward in endless darkness, and finally made significant progress at this moment.

The key breakthrough point is that by simply adding a magic circle on the basis of the original universal treasure, people holding the universal treasure can communicate freely throughout the entire southern region, as if the stars scattered around are connected by a dazzling star chain, so that they will no longer be isolated and helpless.

Therefore, Elder Wang decided to issue an emergency call to all the disciples of the Wu Sect scattered across the country to return to the sect as soon as possible.

He stood up slowly, his movements like an ancient pine or cypress stretching its branches, with a solemnity borne of years. He slowly walked out of the quiet room, dancing with his hands, his gestures like a nimble dragon, drawing mysterious tracks in the air, muttering to himself, the spell like an ancient ballad, containing endless power.

Rays of spiritual light flew out from his hands and transformed into paper cranes. In an instant, the white paper cranes scattered from the Quwu Sect, just like a group of holy messengers, flying towards every disciple who possessed the omnipotent treasure and was outside the Quwu Sect.

Although this paper crane is not the highest order to go to Wuzong to summon disciples, it is also very effective. The white wings seem to carry the sect's earnest expectations. No matter where the disciples are, as long as they receive the message from the paper crane, they must return to the sect within a week.

As for disciples with special circumstances, that is a different matter. Elder Wang will carefully judge whether the deadline can be extended based on their reasons. This arrangement fully demonstrates the law and kindness of the Quwu Sect.

Hong Huang, who was far away in the Demon Blood Sect, was immersed in cultivation in a secret room. The darkness in the secret room was tinged with mystery, with only a few faint rays of light struggling to squeeze in through the cracks, as if peeping at Hong Huang's cultivation.

Suddenly, his heart moved, as if a familiar breath was blowing through his heart like a spring breeze, coming to him gently but clearly.

Hong Huang suddenly opened his eyes, and there seemed to be a flash of lightning in his eyes, instantly dispelling the confusion in his eyes, and a hint of surprise and determination flashed across his eyes.

He knew very well that this call must be of great importance, especially the matter of the universal treasure, and there was no room for slackness. In this complex and ever-changing world of immortal cultivation, every call from the sect could be a matter of life and death, and the rise and fall, honor and disgrace of the sect.

Hong Huang quickly stood up and tidied his clothes, which seemed to still retain the fluctuations of spiritual energy from his training. Then, before leaving, Hong Huang found Ling Qingyue and told her about the call to Wuzong.

After hearing this, Ling Qingyue was stunned for a moment, and then suddenly laughed without warning, as if she had heard something extremely interesting.

She opened her red lips slightly, and her laughter was clear and sweet, as beautiful as a silver bell. Her smile was like the most luxuriant and gorgeous flowers blooming in spring, gorgeous and full of endless charm, making it unforgettable.

After a brief pause, Ling Qingyue stopped laughing, her beautiful eyes flickering as she looked at the other person. She softly asked, "If you return to the sect this time, will you no longer be able to disguise your true appearance?"

"Hmm? That's true, but I don't know why you suddenly mentioned this?" Hong Huang obviously did not expect Ling Qingyue to ask this question. He was slightly stunned and looked at the pretty woman in front of him with a puzzled look on his face.

Ling Qingyue playfully blinked her bright eyes, a subtle slyness and intense curiosity flashing across them. She replied with a grin, "Hehe... I just want to see what the sect you belong to is like! Besides, seeing you in this old-fashioned look all day long is making me want to vomit!"

"Can't you see through my disguise?" Hong Huang shook his head helplessly and asked with a wry smile.

"Hmph! Even if I have such ability, every time I want to see through your disguise I have to spend a lot of energy to drive the power of my pupils! This is quite tiring! So, let's make it a deal, I must go back to the sect with you." Ling Qingyue clasped her hands in front of her chest, her chin slightly raised, her expression extremely determined, she looked like a stubborn girl who would never give up until she achieved her goal.

Faced with Ling Qingyue's entanglement that was like taffy sticking to him and refusing to give up until she achieved her goal, Hong Huang was defeated in the end no matter how much willpower and determination he had.

He sighed helplessly, looking at the quirky and extremely stubborn woman in front of him, and smiled bitterly in his heart, knowing that he couldn't refuse this time no matter what.

So, after a fierce ideological struggle, Hong Huang had to grit his teeth and nodded to agree to Ling Qingyue's request. However, although he agreed, Hong Huang didn't want to follow Ling Qingyue blindly.

Therefore, after agreeing, Hong Huang immediately proposed to make "three rules" with Ling Qingyue. Seeing that Hong Huang was willing to give in, Ling Qingyue naturally agreed and said that she would follow Hong Huang's arrangements in everything.

Afterwards, the two of them had a brief discussion and went together to find the branch leader of the Demon Blood Cult. After meeting the branch leader, Hong Huang reported to him in a serious face that they had accidentally discovered some extremely important mysterious clues in Jigui City during the execution of their mission.

These clues are of great importance. If we don't go back and investigate thoroughly in time, it will probably have a great adverse impact on the Demon Blood Cult's subsequent plans in Jigui City.

Upon hearing this, the branch leader's brows furrowed slightly, a hint of suspicion appearing on his face. After all, although Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue were usually quite reliable, their sudden request to return to the city for such a reason was indeed a bit strange.

However, the branch leader changed his mind and thought about Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue's good performance in the sect and their loyalty to the doctrine. In addition, the situation in Jigui City was not yet at a critical point. After weighing the pros and cons, he finally chose to believe what the two said and agreed to their request.

After obtaining the permission of the branch leader, Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue did not dare to delay for a moment. They immediately mounted their horses and galloped towards Wuzong without stopping.

In the Quwu Sect, Elder Wang was waiting for his disciples to return while arranging preparations for the upgrade of the Universal Treasure.

He summoned the elders of the sect. In the hall, the elders sat together with serious and earnest expressions.

Some elders had white hair, and their eyes showed the wisdom accumulated over the years; some elders had strong faces and exuded a strong aura. After an in-depth discussion, they finally decided on a complete plan.

Hong Huang and Ling Qingyue were the first to return to Quwu Sect. The moment they stepped into the sect, Hong Huang felt a strong sense of belonging in his heart. It was like a wanderer returning home, his heart was full of warmth and peace.

All the memories of his cultivation and growth here came to his mind. He looked at the familiar mountains, trees, and palaces, his eyes filled with emotion and excitement.

The mountains are still lush and green, as if they are the guardians of time; the birds are singing in the woods, as if welcoming his return; the temples are solemn and majestic, carrying the countless history and heritage of the Wu Zong.

The two of them walked quickly and soon found Elder Wang. At this time, Elder Wang was very busy. He was concentrating on arranging the important matter of upgrading the universal treasure for the disciples who were about to go to Wuzong.

When he caught a glimpse of Hong Huang returning, a relieved smile instantly broke out on his originally serious face.

"Hong Huang, you're finally back!" Elder Wang exclaimed. His gaze fell on the graceful, beautiful girl beside Hong Huang. A flicker of curiosity flashed in his eyes, and he asked, "But who is this beautiful girl beside you? Could you introduce her to us?"

As soon as Elder Wang said this, it was like a stone that caused a thousand ripples. Those people at the scene who already knew Hong Huang cast their curious eyes on the place where Hong Huang and the girl were. Among this group of onlookers, there were naturally some good friends who were familiar with Hong Huang.

Facing the gazes of the crowd, Hong Huang calmly bowed slightly and responded respectfully, "To Elder Wang, this girl's name is Ling Qingyue, a companion I met during my travels. Because she was quite interested in our trip to the Wu Sect and out of curiosity wanted to learn more, I took the liberty of bringing her back to the sect. I hope Elder Wang will not blame me."

After listening to Hong Huang's explanation, Elder Wang smiled and nodded to show his understanding, and then said amiably: "Haha, it's okay, it's okay. Young people, it's a good thing to make more friends. In this case, we must treat this little friend Ling well and let her fully experience our hospitality in Wuzong. As for you, Hong Huang, don't forget to come over later to upgrade your universal treasure." After that, Elder Wang smiled and nodded to Hong Huang again.

"Okay, Elder Wang, I'll show her around before we go to Wuzong, and then we'll come back here to upgrade the Universal Treasure."

Hong Huang smiled and bowed to Elder Wang, then gently took Ling Qingyue's soft and boneless little hand, slowly turned and left. Looking at the two figures walking away, the people who stayed there had different expressions.

Yan Yi and Leng Feng, who had been silent just now, looked at each other as if they had telepathically understood each other, and then they both smiled meaningfully, as if at this moment, they had already discovered some unknown secrets.

"Did you see it just now? The woman next to Hong Huang is truly as beautiful as a fairy! I dare to assert that even if all the beauties I have ever met in my life were gathered together, I am afraid that only Ye Yu can be compared with her. I never thought that Hong Huang, this kid, would go out to travel and bring back such a stunning beauty as his Taoist companion." Yan Yi sighed, shaking his head, his face full of teasing.

Leng Feng nodded repeatedly upon hearing this and said, "That's right! Look at them, they were still holding hands when they left just now. They looked so intimate that anyone who saw them would understand that the relationship between them is extraordinary. After we complete the task assigned by Elder Wang, we must find a chance to interrogate this guy Hong Huang." As he spoke, Leng Feng's eyes flashed with curiosity and a hint of gossip.

Hong Huang took Ling Qingyue along the path leading to Wuzong and introduced her to the various scenery and buildings in the sect.

They came to the spiritual spring. The water in the spring was crystal clear and emitted a faint blue light. The spring water contained rich spiritual power, as if it was the milk of the earth.

"This is the spiritual spring we use when we go to Wuzong. The spring water has the effect of nourishing spiritual power, healing wounds and removing toxins. Many disciples come here to heal after being injured during training." Hong Huang said.

Ling Qingyue slowly squatted down, stretched out her slender, white jade-like fingers, and gently touched the clear spring water.

As soon as the fingertips touched the water, a cool feeling instantly spread throughout the body, as if you were in a world of ice and snow, but there was no chill at all, instead it was a refreshing feeling that made people feel refreshed.

She carefully felt the spiritual power contained in the spring water. The spiritual power was like a lively little fish, swimming and playing at her fingertips, bringing vitality.

Ling Qingyue couldn't help but exclaimed: "What a magical spring water!" The sound was crisp and pleasant, like the sound of nature, echoing in this quiet space.

Afterwards, they came together to a magnificent library, which adopted a modern decoration style, in sharp contrast to the surrounding quaint buildings.

As a woman from a wealthy family, Ling Qingyue had seen countless magnificent mansions and pavilions, but this unique architectural style was something she had never seen before, and she became very curious.

Walking into the library, Ling Qingyue was shocked by the scene before her. The spacious and bright hall, the tall and neatly arranged bookshelves, and the staggered tables and chairs all made her feel novel.

Especially those exquisite decorations, which attracted her attention and made her praise them repeatedly. Seeing this, Hong Huang on the side felt a sense of pride in his heart, and began to enthusiastically introduce other characteristics of Quwu Sect to Ling Qingyue.

Just as the two of them were visiting with great interest, Ling Qingyue noticed that some disciples from Wu Zong were looking at her strangely.

Some of the disciples had curiosity glint in their eyes, and were obviously full of desire to explore this beautiful woman from the outside world; some of the disciples revealed a hint of vigilance in their eyes, as if they were worried that Ling Qingyue, an outsider, would bring some adverse effects to the sect.

Yet, facing these curious and wary gazes, Ling Qingyue always wore an elegant and calm smile. Her figure was graceful, her manners were generous and appropriate, and her stunning beauty and noble and elegant temperament were like a blooming flower, exuding a captivating charm. Many disciples could not help but be deeply attracted to her and fell in love with her.
