Hammer in her left hand, sword in her right, the eldest sister is connected to both worlds.

Some people cannot be treated with courtesy.

Xiao Tong acted swiftly and decisively, and in less than fifteen minutes, she pushed the Wu family patriarch, who was initially unwilling and even resorting to moral blackmail, to the negotiating table.

Xue Lan looked at Xue Tong with a smile, her gray eyes sparkling with admiration.

Xue Tong felt a little embarrassed by her gaze, and the girl raised her hand to put away her bow:

"Can you stop looking at me like that? Get your job done!"

The smiling white wolf immediately nodded obediently: "Okay, okay."

Xue Lan turned to look at the Wu family patriarch who had stood up in front of her, her smile not reaching her eyes and her expression strange: "Fellow Daoist, please forgive me, children are always unruly. I'm happy to see them, so I don't really discipline them."

These words were indeed very tactful, but all the members of the Wu family present felt a chill run down their spines.

The little kid, the little kid who pinned someone to the mountain with an arrow!

"Lord Changjun, you are too kind. This young friend of yours is..."

"It truly reflects the spirit of youth, flowing naturally from the heart."

When Xue Tong heard the old man call her "young friend," she couldn't help but smile.

Lord Wolf heard her teasing voice transmission:

"You were just a brat before, and now you're a young friend?"

“These people in the upper realm are good at judging people by their appearance, and he doesn’t want to be pinned to the mountain by my sword energy.”

"By the way, your sword aura."

Xue Tong slapped his head and waved to the man nailed to the mountain:

"Return!"

A pure white sword aura shot straight into the sky, then pierced through the clouds and returned to Xue Tong, settling between her brows.

Two members of the Wu family kept looking back. Xue Tong and Xue Lan exchanged a glance, then waved their hands and said:

"Alright, go check on him."

"Thank you, sir."

The two immediately bowed and walked to the back. Xue Lan flicked a wisp of transparent energy from her fingertip, which quietly wrapped around the hair of one of the women.

It happened in the blink of an eye, and no one noticed.

After secretly completing the tampering, Xue Lan looked at the Wu family patriarch to the side:

"Fellow Daoist."

The white-clad wolf king's gray-white eyes were empty, like an endless abyss.

The Wu family patriarch couldn't understand, and didn't even dare to look, so he only bowed his head and responded:

"What are your orders, sir?"

Xue Lan thought to herself that some things really do have to be resolved with violence.

These old folks, even after the Northern Sichuan Incident, still dream of controlling her based on their age and experience.

It's ridiculous.

"Fellow Daoist," Xue Lan spoke softly.

"I have not come to the Wu family to demand an explanation."

"I've come to find someone."

The Wu family patriarch's beard trembled with nervousness, and his voice shook: "My lord, I have already punished that wretched member of the clan according to family law. It's really..."

As if sensing something, the aura that had been left on the woman stirred.

"Fellow Daoist, please don't overthink it. I've already said I'm not here to interrogate you."

"My mission is to save an old friend."

"That person from Beiyuchuan has arrived; the family is likely facing a great calamity!"

Inside the forbidden chamber on the back mountain of Qinlong Island, a woman in a blue dress struggled to activate her cultivation technique to open the magic array. She spoke anxiously to the dozen or so people inside.

"Leave the Cloud Gate Waterway and never come back."

As she spoke, the woman took out various magical treasures from her storage bag and distributed them to the children present.

She reached out and patted a boy's head:

"Live well and don't think about anything else."

"Sister Shuhuan." The young man held onto the woman's hand tightly.

Is there really no other way?

Wu Shuhuan bit her lip to hold back her tears, and shook her head heavily:

"Yun Si, we did something wrong."

"The fact that she let me here means she will give you a way out."

The boy named Yun Si was clearly unable to accept it; he turned to look into the darkness deep within the forbidden room.

"Wu Jin, the family is in trouble, are you going to stand idly by?"

"Stand by and do nothing?"

A hoarse, weak voice, laced with mockery, echoed from the dark corner:

"Wu Yunsi, do you expect someone who was used as a substitute and almost died from the backlash to die for the family?"

"you……"

Wu Yunsi glared fiercely at the young man who slowly walked out from the corner, gritting her teeth.

"Regardless, it was the family that raised you!"

Wu Jin was severely affected by the backlash from the Soul Substitution Technique, his foundation was completely destroyed, and now he was unshaven and had difficulty even taking two steps, so there was really no time to deal with him.

The young man leaned against a stone pillar, his gaze fixed on the half-cut dark green hairband wrapped around his hand.

"Did my family raise me?"

The young man's voice grew increasingly hoarse, but he spoke readily:

"Alright, go and tell that wolf king to let me pay for my entire family's lives."

Wu Yunsi fell silent.

Wu Jin spat on the ground:

"waste!"

"Stop arguing!"

Wu Shuhuan had just spoken up to stop the two from arguing when he suddenly received a telepathic message from the clan leader.

The woman's expression changed, becoming extremely strange and ugly.

She slowly looked at Wu Jin: "That lord wants to see you... what exactly did you do?"

Wu Jin revealed a sinister smile:

What did I do?

The young man, barely managing to channel his remaining spiritual energy, took a few steps forward. As he passed Wu Yunsi, he suddenly spoke:

"Let me tell you a secret: long before your grandfather went to Beiyuchuan, I had already joined the ranks of that great man's nemesis."

"She wants to kill me, and also take down the Wu family..."

"Run faster."

After saying this, Wu Jin strode out of the forbidden room, ignoring Wu Yunsi's furious shouts behind him.

The young man took off the hair ribbon from his hand and placed it on a flowering branch of a tree.

Wu Shuhuan, who was following behind him, couldn't help but speak up upon seeing this:

"I used to think you were just stubborn, but I never imagined you were this crazy that you dared to provoke me..."

"You actually dared to provoke Xue Lan, didn't you?"

Wu Jin's eyebrows and eyes were unrestrained and unconventional; he felt that even facing death, he would no longer restrain his true nature.

"Senior sister, you don't even dare to call her by her name?"

Wu Shuhuan was furious:

"Shut up and get out of here!"

The distance from the back mountain to the front gate is not short, but with Wu Shuhuan leading the way, it only takes a few breaths.

In the blink of an eye, Wu Jin could do nothing but let his mind wander.

She thought of the hairband she had just placed on the tree, and the unbearable pain she felt when the soul-substituting technique was applied to her.

Thinking of that unruly lord, who clearly said he would come to rescue me.

Then go to the Northern River to see the person you want to see.

Wu Jin thought he would at least see him once in his life.

Fate is unpredictable.

Distracted, Wu Jin arrived at the front gate under Wu Shuhuan's watchful eye and saw a large group of clan elders in the distance. A dense mass of people stood respectfully.

In the very center of these people was what appeared to be an octagonal stone table, with two people sitting around it.

One is the clan chief, the other...

Wu Jin couldn't see it.

The person was rather short, and when he sat down, he was completely blocked by the people behind him.

"Sir, the person has been brought."

Upon hearing the clan leader's respectful voice, Wu Jin realized that the person opposite him was the chief of the wolf clan.

People in front of him made way, and Wu Jin straightened his clothes.

This is the elder that Miss Chongyu respects the most.

The young man stepped forward and bowed respectfully, then heard a woman's soft laughter:

"How did it get like this?"

Wu Jin: Why does this voice sound so familiar?

The young man mustered his courage, looked up, and saw a familiar smiling face.

"Your honor!"

Xue Lan jumped up as soon as she saw the young man in front of her, looking quite frightened.

"Yes, it's me."

Lord Wolf nodded slightly, just about to offer some words of comfort to his leader, when he saw the young man staring blankly at him, his expression sorrowful as he spoke:

"Your Excellency, you have finally been captured!"

"The wolf lord is still too strong, sob sob sob..."

Xue Lan: No, what is that?
